Xu Sheng was slightly surprised, "The one who could change Sea God's Island, but this should be my first visit here, so I am afraid I'm not the person the Grand Elder spoke of!"
Could it be that Great Priest Poseidon had already foreseen her arrival at Sea God's Island?
No, that should be impossible!
She had not broken through to the God Rank and therefore should not be able to predict her own actions!
However, the maid's expression became unwaveringly firm, "No, there can be no mistake, the Grand Elder's prophecies have never been wrong. You are indeed the factor that could influence Sea God's Island!"
For her, everything said by Great Priest Poseidon was absolute and correct!
Otherwise, Sea God's Island would have perished in the river of history long ago, how could it still exist to this day!
Gui Mei couldn't help but frown, "This maid of Great Priest Poseidon, she trusts her so much; no wonder the Martial Soul Hall has been unable to find any precious information about Sea God's Island until now!"
The other party's situation in this regard was somewhat similar to his own within the Martial Soul Hall!
For a moment, he felt a strange sense of empathy.
Xu Sheng, on the other hand, seemed pensive and said, "If that's the case, then I shall meet this Grand Elder of Sea God's Island!"
Upon these words, the maid finally breathed a sigh of relief...
Thankfully, the former had not refused; otherwise, she might have been in some trouble!
After all, with a Hyper Douluo guarding his side, it would be impossible to take him away by force!
And if she notified the Seven Sacred Pillars to come, she feared it would displease the Grand Elder!
All things considered, arriving at a peaceful agreement regarding this matter was the best choice!
With this thought, she nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, the Grand Elder must be very eager to meet you as well!"
"Therefore, I shall not disturb you any further today. I will come back here tomorrow, please be prepared in advance!"
Having said this, she was about to turn and leave...
The task assigned by the Grand Elder had been done, and there was no point in staying any longer!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a moment, I have a question I would like to ask you!"
Having finally encountered her, it would be better to ask and clarify what he wanted to know!
The maid was taken aback for a moment and then asked with a smile, "Oh, what can I assist you with? However, if it's about the secrets of Sea God's Island, I'm afraid I'm powerless to help!"
"But if it's just some ordinary questions, I will try my best to answer."
Xu Sheng expressed understanding, "It's not the secrets of Sea God's Island. I just want to ask if there has been anything unusual on Sea God's Island in the past few years."
The maid furrowed her brows, puzzled, "Unusual? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you asking if there has been any strange occurrences?"
The other party had just arrived at Sea God's Island yet asked such a question—could there be some ulterior motive?
Xu Sheng confirmed, "Yes! Something like... a large number of the island's residents and Soul Masters dying, their bodies devoured!"
The former showed an expression of contemplation...
Then she finally answered, "In these past years, with the protection of the Grand Elder, Sea God's Island has been very peaceful, and none of the events you mentioned have occurred."
"But, why are you asking these questions? What is your purpose?"
Out of concern for the safety of Sea God's Island, she felt it was necessary to inquire!
Xu Sheng did not tell the truth but instead looked towards Gui Mei...
"It's like this, this Elder and I have come to Sea God's Island for the first time and are still unfamiliar with the situation here!"
"The questions I just asked were all to ensure this place is safe!"
Gui Mei realized the situation and immediately added, "That's right, Xu Sheng pays great attention to safety, which is why he asked those questions!"
"Of course, if there are any customs on Sea God's Island that we should be aware of, it's better to tell us in advance to avoid any offense!"
The questions Xu Sheng had just asked clearly aimed to inquire about the abyssal creatures!
It seems he still doesn't want the people of Sea God's Island to know, huh!
Although the maid had her suspicions, it wasn't appropriate to continue probing…
"So that's the reason, both of you can rest assured on Sea God's Island. This place is protected by a powerful barrier, completely shielded from external attacks!"
"As for customs, although Sea God's Island is isolated from the world, it really isn't much different from the outside. As long as you two don't do anything excessive, I believe there won't be any trouble."
Xu Sheng nodded, "Thanks for the reminder, now I feel relieved."
Seeing this, the former no longer lingered and quickly left…
Only after the presence had vanished did Gui Mei eagerly ask, "Xu Sheng, you wanted to ask her about abyssal creatures just now, didn't you?"
Xu Sheng didn't deny but instead showed a trace of solemnity, "Yes, but it seems Sea God's Island hasn't been affected by the outside world, no… it hasn't been discovered by abyssal creatures!"
"Otherwise, with its isolated environment, as long as the abyssal creatures don't jeopardize themselves, then Sea God's Island could become a natural breeding ground for them!"
If that were the case, even I wouldn't know to what extent the abyssal creatures could grow!
However, fortunately, things aren't that bad!
After hearing the explanation, Gui Mei couldn't help but inhale sharply, "Hiss…"
"Xu Sheng, I've suddenly realized you're absolutely right. If these abyssal creatures were to develop on Sea God's Island, it would be a colossal disaster for the entire human world!"
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "Elder Gui, it's good that you understand. I also hope you won't rashly reveal any news about abyssal creatures in the future!"
"Of course, I wouldn't be so foolish as to blurt out these things. It's you, when meeting the Great Priest Poseidon, don't get played for a fool!"
Though the Grand Elder is outwardly 'kind,' anyone who has reached that rank is no simpleton, much less lacking in cunning!
If you're not careful, you might even be tricked into revealing what color underwear you're wearing!
Xu Sheng waved his hand to reassure, "Don't worry, I'm fully prepared!"
"Moreover, I am from the future. I know Poseidon's personality very well!"
Gui Mei responded with a scoff, "Heh, this business about coming back from the future, no one would believe that!"
Xu Sheng showed a mysterious smile, "Elder Gui, are you saying you don't believe it either?"
"If that's the case, I wouldn't mind sharing some stories from your past, stories I assume even His Holiness the Pope doesn't know, right?"
Gui Mei replied with disdain, "Past stories?? Do you think you can fool me with just a few words?"
He certainly didn't believe the other party truly knew about his past!
Xu Sheng looked straight at him and continued, "Is that so? Then Elder Gui, please listen. Once upon a time, you lived in a village and after awakening your Martial Soul…"
After speaking for several minutes, one could faintly see Gui Mei's pupils dilated with intense killing intent…
Without a doubt, what the other party said was true!
