Sea God warriors did not stop Xiao Bai, as she was both a friend and a powerful 100,000-year soul beast.
"What?" Bo Saixi's pupils contracted, knuckles whitening on her staff.
She knew how powerful the Demon Whale King was—even using the Sea God's power, she could only barely repel it.
Yet such a being was now defeated? She could not stay calm.
"Calm down, Xiao Bai. Tell me everything in detail."
Although shocked, Bo Saixi quickly regained composure.
"Black aura? Is it a Contamination point?" Bo Saixi mused after Xiao Bai's account.
She had encountered Contamination points in the sea before, sending warriors to clear them.
But the ocean was vast, and the island could only monitor its own territory.
She was not unfamiliar with Contamination points and had investigated personally.
But she never imagined a Contamination point could produce an existence capable of defeating the Demon Whale King.
Now she understood the source of her anxiety, staring at the approaching dark clouds.
"All hands, report to me!"
With a tap of her staff, her voice summoned the seven Sacred Pillar Douluos.
In moments, seven blue-armored figures arrived.
"High Priest, what are your orders?" they asked, kneeling respectfully.
"An enemy approaches. Summon the Sea God warriors and prepare for battle," Bo Saixi ordered.
"Yes!"
Seeing her grave expression, the Douluos realized this foe was no ordinary threat.
Never before had the High Priest looked so solemn—not even when Spirit Hall or the Demon Whale King attacked.
As they scrambled to prepare, the dark clouds covered the island.
Gales howled, rain poured, and a suppressive force weighed on everyone, while countless negative emotions invaded their minds.
"As expected," Bo Saixi muttered, having anticipated this.
She spread blue-gold Sea God light, which swept away the gloom and negative feelings.
"A moving Contamination point—no wonder it's so strong!" she whispered, sensing the negative energy blocked outside.
Suddenly, terrifying divine might surged from the depths.
All but Bo Saixi, including Xiao Bai and the Douluos, were forced to their knees.
Bo Saixi's face darkened. "It's reached this point?"
A massive vortex formed, and nine black-aura heads emerged.
With Osial's arrival, thunder and storms raged, the sea boiling in chaos.
"A true god of level 100!" Bo Saixi gritted her teeth, looking grim.
She regretted not taking decisive action to clear Contamination points when they first appeared, allowing such a monster to arise.
Though Osial had no mind or godhood, it had reached god-level strength.
No wonder the Demon Whale King fled.
With its unique nature, who knew how many Contamination points Osial had devoured to become so powerful?
Though not a true god, and lacking intelligence or a divine position, Osial controlled the vortex's authority and was now almost invincible in the sea or even on the continent.
Regret was now useless.
Bo Saixi steadied herself and raised her staff, channeling the Sea God's power to contest for control of the sea.
Water swelled and condensed into a thousand-meter sea giant, who drew a trident and thrust it at Osial.
Bo Saixi unleashed her ultimate move, knowing that Contamination point monsters could not be reasoned with.
Osial countered, its nine heads gathering blue energy, firing beams that punched holes in the sea giant.
Some blasts struck the island, causing tremors.
The seven Sacred Pillar Douluos, freed from the pressure by the Sea God's light, hurried to contain the damage.
Bo Saixi immediately activated the Sea God Shield, enveloping the island in blue-gold protection.
But she had no time to worry about the island's safety—Osial rose from the depths, vortex raging, aiming to devour the sea giant.
With Sea God's power, Bo Saixi briefly reached the demigod level, but Osial still overwhelmed her.
As she struggled, a voice of surprise came from the island's depths.
A golden light shot out, coming to Bo Saixi's aid.
"It's the Sea God's Trident, Lord Sea God!" Bo Saixi realized her god was lending a hand.
Though the Sea God himself could not intervene, the trident could.
Grasping the trident, Bo Saixi unleashed the Sea God domain, contesting Osial for control of the ocean.
In the sea, control meant victory.
The battle raged, mountains and waves collapsing, frightening nearby sea soul beasts into fleeing.
…
"You really are a naughty child, making such a mess of this world!"
The pink-haired fairy lady, new to this world, sensed the intense battles and even the presence of a familiar person.
She opened her dreamy blue eyes, feigning a scolding tone.
"I don't deny it, adorable and charming, beautiful and pure Pink Fairy Lady," Lu Jingming replied openly.
He never claimed to be a good person—just an ordinary guy with some ambition and a bit of luck.
"Flattery won't work on me."
Despite her words, the Pink Fairy Lady's narrowed eyes and smile betrayed her delight.
"Mobius is here too, Elysia. She'll be happy to see you," Lu Jingming said, thinking of Elysia's narcissism.
"I bet you're thinking something rude!"
Elysia, hands on hips, glared at Lu Jingming, sensing he was disrespectful in his thoughts.
"Whatever, if Mobius is here, I wonder if she'll wear the pink dress I gave her."
Elysia looked expectant.
"No way, unless Aponia asks her to," Lu Jingming replied, knowing Elysia always fussed about that dress.
Thinking of Mobius in pink, he felt oddly tempted himself.
"Call me Sister Elysia! You're so rude."
Elysia rolled her eyes and pinched Lu Jingming's cheeks, playing with his face.
"Stop it, Pink Fatty!"
Lu Jingming gritted his teeth. He shouldn't have made Elysia so strong; now she bullied him.
Elysia froze at the words, as if struck by lightning.
"How could you! Calling a beautiful girl that—where am I fat?!"
Annoyed, Elysia pinched harder.
"If you want to see Eden and the others, treat me with respect!" Lu Jingming retorted, embarrassed at being bullied by a girl—especially in Skywater, where his reputation was at stake.
"Oh, don't be mad—anger makes you age, and it'd be a shame for you to lose that handsome face."
Elysia quickly surrendered, pleading cutely.
Lu Jingming knew she was acting, but Elysia's charm was irresistible.
A draw!
"Let's talk about the pink dress."
Lu Jingming wasn't really angry, and calling her "Pink Fatty" was a bit much.
He was sure even Elysia, with her outgoing nature, was offended by that nickname.
But even so, she could keep things light and friendly, a real social terror.
Though just summoned and meeting Lu Jingming for the first time, they seemed like old friends.
If not for Elysia's lively personality, he wouldn't have dared call her such a rude name on first meeting.
Elysia's unique personality and charisma explained why everyone liked her—no one could resist the Pink Fairy Lady!
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
After Lu Jingming's answer, Shui Bing'er entered, surprised to see Elysia.
"Oh, what a beautiful girl! Hello, I'm Elysia, you can call me Sister Elysia," she greeted, taking Shui Bing'er's hand warmly before Lu Jingming could respond.
"So fast!"
Shui Bing'er was amazed, then looked at Lu Jingming for help.
She'd never met such a passionate girl—and Elysia was stunning!
Even among the beauties of Skywater, none matched Elysia's purity and charm.
Though surprised, she felt no discomfort.
Lu Jingming sighed, realizing he'd need to warn the girls at home about the girls' paradise Elysia.
"Alright Elysia, don't scare her," he said, rescuing Shui Bing'er, who was grateful.
Though she liked Elysia, Shui Bing'er insisted she was straight and felt a bit overwhelmed by Elysia's enthusiasm.
"Hello, Sister Elysia. I'm Shui Bing'er!"
Elysia let go, pleased with Shui Bing'er's polite greeting.
"Shui Bing'er—a lovely name that suits you perfectly!"
Elysia praised.
Shui Bing'er, with her icy style, matched her name.
"Young Master Lu, my aunt has woken up. She wanted to thank you in person, but is still recovering, so my mother stopped her. As for the chamber you requested, we've started preparations."
Shui Bing'er had come to relay this news.
Earlier, Lu Jingming and her mother had already agreed—Skywater would provide people, resources, and funding to help Lu Jingming establish a chamber, in gratitude for saving Shui Ming'er.
"Good. Elysia will stay here to oversee the chamber. If you encounter trouble, find her."
Lu Jingming pointed to Elysia.
He wouldn't micromanage the chamber; Skywater would handle everything.
Still, the chamber needed a powerful figure for deterrence—both to keep outsiders in check and maintain stability within.
Lu Jingming trusted Shui Bing'er and her family, but any organization could have troublemakers. He wanted to nip potential problems in the bud.
Besides, Elysia's role was more than just overseeing the chamber.
Her real task was to safeguard the Douluo Continent itself.
If the Contamination crisis spiraled out of control, and local powers failed, Elysia would intervene.
Lu Jingming's goal was to help the Douluo star grow, not destroy it.
Shui Bing'er was surprised—Elysia looked only a bit older than herself, but Lu Jingming clearly trusted her strength.
She had witnessed Lu Jingming's power; only her mother could match him in the academy.
"Young Master Lu, what should the chamber be called?" Shui Bing'er asked.
Though Skywater handled the logistics, the chamber was Lu Jingming's, and he should name it.
"Hmm, call it Jade Chamber!" Lu Jingming, borrowing Ningguang's name, didn't feel like coming up with something new.
"Jade Chamber—a lovely name. Definitely chosen by a beautiful girl, not you, right, Xiao Ming?" Elysia's eyes sparkled.
With her sharp intuition, she knew such a poetic name wasn't Lu Jingming's work.
Indeed, she had already labeled him a straight guy—who else would call a beauty "Pink Fatty" to her face?
"You're right. It was Ningguang's idea. I'll introduce you sometime." Lu Jingming was surprised at Elysia's perception.
He figured Ningguang and Elysia would get along well.
Eden and Elysia were best friends, Eden was rich, and Ningguang was also rich; so, by that logic, Ningguang and Elysia would become friends too. That sounded reasonable.
