Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

"Living people board the boat, and the moonlit ferry docks."

A deep sound echoed across the sea.

The white bone ferry slowly moved forward.

It's not fast.

However, for every zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) it moves forward, the sea level in the outer Tokyo Bay rises by fen (approximately 0.3 meters).

Above the port.

The psionic barrier flickered violently.

The team members behind the barrier turned pale.

One of the people in charge held a communicator, his voice strained.

"Eight yards from the first line of defense."

"Seven hundred meters, six hundred meters..."

The lantern bearer from Moon Abyss stands in the center of the ferry crossing.

It held a black lamp, its vertical pupils fixed on Chu Zhou: "Suppressor of the Abyss, you can save the remnant soul of a sea turtle."

"You can save ten or a hundred, but this Moon Crossing is burying tens of thousands of battle souls. How can you save them?"

Chu Zhou ignored it.

The black gold imperial seal hangs above the sea.

The imperial seal slowly rotated.

Countless silver roots burrowed into the seabed of the East China Sea and spread outwards along the seabed.

The Moonlit Lamp Holder sensed something was wrong: "What else do you want to do?"

Chu Zhou's voice was calm: "Who said I was going to pull out the nails?"

The words fell.

The Three Passes of Nanjiang.

With the river tide on its back, the enormous turtle-like body slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Its limbs are spread out.

The black and gold lotus pattern on the tortoise shell connects with the water veins of the three passes, signifying: "The water veins of the South River obey the master's command."

boom!

The waters of the Sanguan River suddenly surged backward.

They did not rush towards the city.

Instead, it follows the underground spiritual veins, passing through mountains and valleys, and surges towards the East China Sea.

Zhenhai Relic Island.

Qingfeng took root in the seabed.

Tens of thousands of green vines sprout from beneath the island, penetrating the trenches, reefs, and underwater veins.

The vines transformed into giant chains.

It wasn't the Moon Abyss Nail that was locked.

Instead, it is the seabed vein beneath the White Bone Ferry.

The waters off Tokyo Bay.

The Dragon Whale King of the Vast Sea suddenly heard Chu Zhou's voice.

"Dragon Whale, take your ancestors back to the sea."

The Dragon Whale King's enormous pupils trembled.

It quickly understood what Chu Zhou meant.

The Moon Abyss Nail cannot be removed, and the Moon Crossing cannot reach the shore.

Then let the entire Moon Ferry follow the path it came from through the Moon Gate and return to the back of the Moon Gate.

"Understood!"

The Dragon Whale King roared to the sky.

The massive whale body turned.

Instead of continuing its battle with the remnant soul of the giant whale, it swam directly to the side of the White Bone Ferry.

The enormous whale crashed into the ferry crossing.

boom!

The ferry crossing trembled violently, and the lantern bearer from Moon Abyss roared, "How dare you!"

Hundreds of chains burst forth from the darkness.

Chains wrapped around the Dragon Whale King's body, while Chu Zhou's roots came flying through the air.

Snapped!

Dozens of chains shattered on the spot, but more than ten black chains still pierced the back of the Dragon Whale King.

The Dragon Whale King roared in pain, its back wound tearing open with flesh and blood.

The black chains burrowed into its body through the wound, attempting to lock away its whale bones and soul.

"retreat!"

The sound of a Chu boat could be heard from the sea.

The Dragon Whale King did not retreat; it withstood the power of the Moon Abyss Nails and slammed its massive tail down.

Boom!

A giant wave thousands of meters high surged up.

The Bone Ferry was forcibly pushed off course.

In the port area, inside the East China Sea Fleet command post, everyone was looking at the psionic screen.

The ferry crossing, which had been heading towards the coast, finally came to a stop.

But the next moment, the silvery waves below the ferry suddenly split into two streams.

One stream continued to rush towards the coast, while the other spread wildly in all directions along the seabed.

The underwater spiritual veins were impacted by the lunar tide.

Psionic monitoring towers in dozens of coastal cities simultaneously lit up with scarlet alerts.

"Report: Spiritual pressure is surging along the East China Sea!"

"An unknown resonance has been detected in the seabed ley lines. Anomalies in spiritual energy have been detected simultaneously in the South China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the northern snowfields, and the southwestern Broken Cloud Ridge!"

Four Nine Cities.

At the Ninth Bureau's headquarters, Zhou Zhenshan stood in front of the psionic map, on which red curves spread out from the East China Sea.

They seemed to be ignited by an invisible giant hand, spreading throughout the Dragon Kingdom.

As Elder Ye stared at the fluctuating data, his face paled: "It's not that the East Sea's ley lines are out of control; it's that the entire Ancestral Realm is responding to Moon Crossing."

next moment.

Inside the conference room, all the psionic instruments simultaneously emitted piercing noises, and on the large screen, the previously stable spiritual pressure curve suddenly broke through its limit.

boom!

The skies above Beijing.

The night suddenly brightened.

Countless fine rays of light fell from the deepest part of the sky, descending upon the earth.

It falls upon mountains and rivers, upon every strange beast, every awakened being, and every spiritual plant.

Outside Kyoto.

In a desolate mountain forest.

A gray wolf that was originally only half a person's height suddenly looked up and howled to the sky.

Its body continued to expand in the aura.

The hair turned silver-gray.

Its fangs swelled, and its aura surged from the second rank all the way to the third rank.

But it hadn't completely spiraled out of control yet.

Black and gold lotus patterns fall from afar.

The gray wolf trembled, the crimson in its eyes slowly faded, and it lay down in the forest, gazing blankly at the sky.

Changbai Mountain.

The ancient mountain range of beast bones, which had been sleeping beneath the ice, suddenly cracked open.

Large swathes of ice and snow collapsed.

Countless long-extinct alien beast skeletons were awakened by the fourth tide.

The queen bee with golden stamens flies out of the sea of ​​flowers.

Three thousand spirit bees flutter their wings.

Golden pollen blankets the icy plains: "Bee swarms, protect the sea of ​​flowers!"

Deep in the Duanyun Mountains of Sichuan.

The remains of the destroyed boundary nails once again emitted a gray-black light.

The Black Tiger King stood on the cliff.

The Patrol Battle Order on his forehead was burning hot.

Behind it, the Black Tiger Guards all crouched low.

The Black Tiger King gazed into the depths of Broken Cloud Ridge, his voice low and deep: "All Black Tiger Guards, enter the mountain. The fourth tide has arrived."

Kunlun.

At the end of the snow-capped mountains.

The Primordial Heavenly Gate trembled violently.

Through the crack in the door, a drop of the abyssal black liquid fell onto the snow.

Large swaths of white snow turned to charred black.

A deep, muffled thud came from behind the Heavenly Gate.

It was as if some enormous thing was crashing into the ancestral barrier across endless ages.

Tokyo Bay.

The lamp-bearer in the Moon Abyss sensed the spiritual tides from all directions, and the soul fire within the black lamp pulsed wildly.

It let out a piercing laugh: "See that?"

"You think it's this lamp that's propelling the moon across? You're wrong."

"Moon Crossing is just the first key. The Ancestral Realm has been asleep for too long, and the fourth tide should have come by now."

The lotus leaves on the Chu boat swayed gently.

Above the Black Gold Imperial Seal, a system light screen appeared.

【warn! 】

The fourth spiritual tide has arrived ahead of schedule.

The stability of the Ancestral Realm Seal has decreased.

[The grotto-heaven, the ancient city, the forbidden zone, and the outer rift will gradually manifest.]

[Current Spirit Tide Phase: Initial Arrival.]

[Seven days until full outbreak.]

Chu Zhou looked at the light screen, feeling no relief whatsoever.

The fourth tide did not reach its peak in one step.

We can start from this moment.

Everything that has been dormant in various parts of the ancestral realm will awaken one by one within seven days.

The lamp-bearer in the moonlit abyss raises the black lamp.

Around the ferry crossing, tens of thousands of war souls were dragged by black chains.

They all stepped into the silvery-white wave.

Moon Crossing glides forward again.

The black chains on the Dragon Whale King's back are increasing.

His breathing began to decline.

Chu Zhou's roots trembled.

"Black Armor, Lock the Sea!"

The waters of the Nanjiang River roared.

The Xuanjia armor, carrying the surging river tide, rapidly approached Tokyo Bay along the seabed veins.

"Qingfeng, seal the crossing!"

Outside Zhenhai Island.

Countless green vines burst forth from the sea, wrapping around both sides of the White Bone Ferry.

"Dragon Whale".

Chu Zhou's voice fell: "Hold on."

Blood mingled with seawater in the Dragon Whale King's enormous eyes.

It gazed at the White Bone Ferry, at the remnant souls of the Tide-Suppressing Whale ancestors, pierced by chains.

Then it stopped suppressing the surging whale blood within its body.

"Master, your subordinate will never let it reach the shore."

boom!

The Tide-Suppressing Whale Pattern on the back of the Dragon Whale King suddenly lit up.

A whale's cry, even more desolate than before, echoed throughout the East China Sea.

At the White Bone Ferry.

The crimson soul of the giant whale, with its half-boned skeleton, trembled violently in its empty eye sockets.

It looked at the Dragon Whale King.

The tattered whale body slowly turned.

The next moment, instead of rushing towards the shore, it dragged the chain around its chest and rammed into the Moon Abyss Nail.

boom!

The Moon Abyss Nail trembled.

The remnants of several giant whales at the ferry crossing roared simultaneously.

They rushed toward the chains.

Silver-white soul flames burned in the darkness.

For the first time, the Lamp Holder of the Moon Abyss roared in shock and rage: "How dare you disobey this lamp!"

Over the East China Sea.

The silvery-black waning moon slowly cracked open with a fissure.

From the crevice, a wisp of aura, even more ancient and colder than that of the Moon Abyss Lamp Bearer, slowly descended.

The entire Tokyo Bay froze instantly.
