A cool breeze blew across the sea surface, causing the temperature to drop from thirty degrees to just over ten within less than one or two hours, and it continued to fall.
Most parts of the Telun Republic are located in a temperate zone with distinct seasons.
The temperature began to drop, indicating that Yang Yu and his team were gradually approaching the Telun Republic.
On the way, Yang Yu and his team encountered many different types of Sea-dwelling Species.
If conversations could lead them through, Yang Yu and his team were eager to negotiate with the Sea-dwelling Species.
But if they encountered unreasonable Sea-dwelling Species, Yang Yu and his team would show no rcy.
If the opposition refused to comply, Yang Yu would beat their entire family into submission, making a harvest of Experience.
During the journey, Yang Yu also t several strong opponents, but compared to the Goblin Emperor, they were like re flickering lights in rotten grass.
Many Sea-dwelling Species have customs respecting strength, and their duels tend to be one-on-one, with the victor as the King and the defeated as the villain.
They were very angry about Yang Yu's unauthorized entry into their territory and challenged Yang Yu to a one-on-one duel.
Ti was tight, how could Yang Yu and the others accede to the wishes of these strong opponents and waste ti in one-on-one battles at sea?
If they ca across opponents who couldn't be dealt with quickly, Yang Yu led his squad to concentrate firepower and launched a Justice-fueled brawl, beating those blocking their path till they were utterly humiliated.
As they got closer to the Telun Republic, they saw fewer and fewer Sea-dwelling Species, with species becoming more uniform, primarily consisting of rmaids.
Eventually, they couldn't even see any trace of Sea-dwelling Species.
Unlike the marine desert centered around the remote Nemo Point, the sea near the Telun Republic was teeming with fish and rich in resources due to monsoons and ocean currents.
Logically, this place should be the ideal habitat for Sea-dwelling Species.
Even if there were potential conflicts with Humans, the Sea-dwelling Species should strive for this rich mariti domain, yet historically, there are no records of significant conflicts between Sea-dwelling Species and Humans here.
Not only here, but other places like Gorshid Port in Serti and Rudolat Port in Wansheng Republic are also thriving fishing ports.
None of these harbors have records of Sea-dwelling Species attacking or breeding.
The ocean is vast, why do Sea-dwelling Species not continue their journey north?
Luo Luosi clarified this doubt for Yang Yu:
"Logically, we shouldn't be visiting these seas; only Pilgrims usually co here.
However, our race's belief in the culture of the Sea Mother is not strong so it's okay.
Even if the Sea Mother truly exists, she will surely understand our actions now and allow us into this region.
As long as we don't bring battles or slaughter to these waters, the Sea Mother will continue to protect us."
"After arriving at the Ocean Duchy, we occasionally hear the term Sea Mother... What kind of existence is the Sea Mother?"
When battling various Sea-dwelling Species, Yang Yu often heard them praying for victory to the Sea Mother, and so magic chantings contained traces of the Sea Mother.
"Allow to answer this question."
Jiao Xi walked up to Yang Yu, who was fishing, rested his hands on Lang Yi who was also fishing, and began explaining to Yang Yu amidst Lang Yi's look of "you're affecting my fishing",
"In our culture, all life originates from the sea.
Life develops from simple to complex in the ocean, moves from the sea to land, and from land flies towards the infinite universe."
Upon hearing "universe", Yang Yu beca interested, "Universe? Is it the place where stars shine in the sky?"
"Precisely. That is the universe.
We often refer to the sky above our heads as the sky, but the universe is more vast than the sky above us.
In our culture, the stars in the sky are akin to the sun."
"Many people find this absurd." Lang Yi uncomfortably shrugged, interjecting: "Stars are so small, how can they compare to the sun.
The sun gives life to everything, akin to the Holy Light, a blessing from the goddess.
Therefore, many disdain the Sea Mother's worship among the Sea-dwelling Species.
With more cultural exchanges, so open Sea-dwelling Species gradually abandon the Sea Mother belief.
Even the Sea Mother beliefs among Sea-dwelling Species have gradually vanished over the years."
"I think the Sea Mother culture is correct.
Because my exploration of relic records shows the sa account.
The sun and the stars in the sky are extrely similar.
They appear differently only because one is far away and the other is near." Yang Yu said firmly.
Lang Yi pinched his chin, pondering for a while, mumbled to himself:
"There is indeed such a possibility. How didn't I realize, maybe because of this reason.
No matter how tall the building is, from afar it's rely a dot."
Looking at Jiao Xi, Yang Yu said: "Within the culture of the Sea Mother, is there any ntion of what happened to the group of life that flew into the universe?"
Jiao Xi shook his head.
Yang Yu continued asking: "Could you tell more about the Sea Mother?
Are there any legends or myths.
Maybe these legends could correlate with so elents of the relic I have?"
"No problem."
Jiao Xi tucked her skirt and sat down next to Lang Yi, who unconsciously moved half a step closer to Yang Yu,
"No need to move closer. being here makes the conversation harder for you."
Jiao Xi lifted her hands and smiled: "I'm just afraid soone might get jealous."
Lang Yi silently shifted back to his original position, staring blankly at the swiftly gliding buoy over the sea, with a hint of shyness on his face pretending not to care.
Yang Yu rubbed his temples, having been unknowingly fed dog food.
Redirecting his gaze that unconsciously glanced at Bai Jin, Yang Yu coughed: "I better go ask Luo Luosi then! You guys carry on."
"Luo Luosi might not know as comprehensively as I do, nor as close to the original truth about the Sea Mother.
Our rmaid race is among the most devout Believers of the Sea Mother."
Jiao Xi blinked strongly at Yang Yu, seemingly saying, "If you leave now, Lang Yi will leave too; if you stay, he'll be curious about what we're discussing and stay here. I beg you to stay. It is rare to see Lang Yi showing this kind of expression, and I want to see more of him looking shy."
Rubbing his brows and being caught in dilemmas for a long while, Yang Yu sat back next to Lang Yi,
"I guess there is no choice then. Let ask what exactly is the Sea Mother in your culture.
The ocean breeding life, thus you call the sea as Mother Ocean, and the Sea Mother is the personification of this ocean deity?
It wouldn't be this simple, would it?"
Jiao Xi responded with a smile: "So do elevate the Sea Mother to that high stature.
However, in our culture, the Sea Mother doesn't possess such great power; she is rely the Creator of all Sea-dwelling Species."
