I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 620 Demons and Monsters Abound on the Tongtian River

The following morning, the gates of Troy slowly opened in an extremely complex and oppressive atmosphere.

Only a few brave citizens and soldiers stood at a distance on both sides of the road, watching the two menacing figures leave with a mixture of fear, awe, hatred, and a hint of relief at surviving a disaster.

Several pale-faced old men dressed in priestly robes, along with a group of soldiers who tried to appear calm, carried several large, ornately decorated chests and nervously presented them to Feng Xue and Chen Xuan.

"Your Excellency, this is a local specialty prepared by us in Troy. Please accept it!"

The leading old priest's voice trembled, and he almost knelt down. They were truly terrified. All the capable heroes and generals inside and outside the city had been defeated by that seemingly honest young man alone, and another had even silenced the divine realm. Now that they could send away these two plague gods, any price was worth paying.

Feng Xue didn't bother to look at what the so-called local specialties were, casually stuffed them into her Hutian Bag, and then gestured with her chin towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was still a little unaccustomed to this situation and smiled somewhat embarrassedly at the priests. However, this smile really frightened the priest, who almost fainted.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed, so he stopped doing anything unnecessary and returned to the coastline that had been moved forward by about a hundred meters due to Feng Xue's attack, amidst the Trojans' "enthusiastic farewell".

Looking at this natural deep-water harbor, Feng Xue pointed her finger, and an 18-meter-long government vessel appeared on the shore, much more luxurious than the small boat the two of them had used to cross Qinghai Lake twice before.

"So beautiful!"

Hearing Chen Xuan's remark, Feng Xue narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying:
"Isn't it beautiful? Hurry up and get on the boat, you're the captain this time!"

"Me?" Chen Xuan, who was initially happy about the upgrade to his transportation, suddenly changed his expression—

"I've never sailed a boat before!"

"It's alright, this boat is easy to navigate. Just keep your eyes on the steering wheel (the rudder, intentionally made by the protagonist), calibrate the compass, and follow the instructions. There's also an instruction manual here; if you encounter any problems, just look for the answer here. It's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but this time we're crossing the 800-mile Tongtian River! We'll probably be in the water for two or three days, and we'll need to find you some food along the way. What if a wave washes you away?"

Chen Xuan initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing Feng Xue's next words, he simply shut his mouth. He understood that what Feng Xue said was true. Although it was not impossible for her to eat dry rations, she couldn't possibly sail the boat for two or three days without eating, drinking, or sleeping.

Seeing Chen Xuan reluctantly sit in the driver's seat, Feng Xue nodded in satisfaction, took out a sofa, leaned back on it, and pulled out the spoils of this battle from her pocket—

Those weren't Trojan specialties; they belonged to Chen Xuan. He was just helping to carry them. The real spoils of war were that gourd of divine souls.

The destiny system in this world is essentially an application of willpower, but it exists in an intermediate state between self-sufficiency in willpower and the collective power of others, though it leans more towards the collective power of others. If I had to give an example, it would be like creating a talent tree based on popular understanding, and then acquiring talent points through personal cultivation and training to activate the talents on the talent tree, thereby gaining power.

What Feng Xue is doing now is to extract this talent tree from her soul.

Talent points are useless to him, but this talent tree is a good thing. Through years of use, each famous destiny holder has also been recognized and worshipped by the locals. This has resulted in their destiny accumulating a large amount of purified willpower. As long as this willpower is used correctly, its effect is even better than the pure willpower that Feng Xue transformed from the unity of primordial willpower.

Feng Xue has a lot of projects that have successfully absorbed the power of wishes. She has absorbed the power of small bells that represent guidance, destiny, navigation, and change; the power of Kaguya that represents the past, creation, life, earth, moon, healing, and longevity; and the power of the three gods of Ghidorah that represent destruction, annihilation, the end, judgment, monsters, thunder, dragons, and snakes. Not to mention, she also has five completed god positions and two unfinished god positions that are major consumers of wish power.

The official boat bobbed on the waves of the Mediterranean (Tongtian River!), and Feng Xue gradually separated and stored her willpower.

The bright sunshine shone on the sea, and the tranquility at this moment gave Chen Xuan a sense of peace and tranquility. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Chen Xuan suddenly felt as if everything was a dream. If it weren't for the faint soreness he could still feel from overexertion, he would find it hard to believe that he had fought a one-on-hundred hand-to-hand combat battle with hundreds of muscular men just yesterday.

However, this tranquility did not last long. As the seawater deepened in color, dark clouds gathered in the once clear sky, and the sea breeze became cold and biting, causing him to shiver unexpectedly.

Chen Xuan had encountered similar situations before, having experienced them twice when crossing Qinghai Lake. According to Feng Xue, large bodies of water have high water vapor content, which easily leads to the accumulation of dark clouds, making showers quite normal.

The previous few times when the sky was overcast, nothing dangerous had actually happened, so he temporarily suppressed his unease. However, Chen Xuan soon found himself unable to hold back.

Because this wave is just too outrageous!

The small commercial ship was tossed up and down by the huge waves, and Chen Xuan felt that he was still able to stand firm thanks to Feng Xue's guidance over the past few days.

If it were just wind and waves, it wouldn't be a big deal, but just as he was adjusting his direction, one large and small whirlpool after another suddenly appeared out of thin air on the empty "river" surface. Chen Xuan even felt that he could vaguely see pale white and sharp teeth in those whirlpools!

"Big brother! A giant whirlpool! And it looks like there are monsters too!"

“There are monsters on the journey to the West, isn’t that normal?” Feng Xue rolled his eyes and continued to tinker with the power of wishes. He was quite clear about the situation, after all, what he was dismantling was Poseidon, the “father of monsters”!
Chen Xuan gripped the helm firmly, trying his best to avoid the whirlpools of all sizes. Suddenly, a series of huge bubbles rose to the surface of the sea beside the ship. Then, several giant beast heads emerged from the sea and surrounded the small boat from different directions. At the bow of the ship, Chen Xuan saw a beautiful woman giving him a slightly ferocious smile!

"Whoa! What is that?!" Chen Xuan exclaimed in surprise. Feng Xue couldn't help but sigh. Stars lit up around the small boat, then transformed into phantom images of star lords, charging towards the sea beast.

"Phew!" Chen Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. However, just as he relaxed, a faint singing voice began to enter his ears...
