Maxin pounced forward like an arrow let loose from its string the second the figure dropped into the sea. He had to get to Lin Sanjiu before the highest god could lay his hand on her.

Ji Shanqing choked back his words when he raised his head. A bewildered expression crawled upon his face as he blinked his vacant eyes.
The highest god was stunned for a long while before he threw himself back into the ocean, thrashing around on the sea while holding his sides with laughter, causing water to splatter all over.
The young deity only rose to his feet and lifted his head when his boisterous laughter disappeared into the horizon.
