Chapter 879 – Soul Pollution

　　The moment his words fell, the seawater in the stomach wall tumbled violently, a violent and ferocious power stirred out from Chen Yangrong’s body, from the realm’s point of view, only half a step short of breaking through the peak of the “Klein” realm, arriving at the human ceiling.

　　In the wildly stirring seawater, the shimmering light of the lantern fish flickered uncontrollably, its own realm wasn’t high, and at this moment, under the impact of Chen Yangrong’s power, it was already on the verge of collapsing.

　　Sensing this terrifying power fluctuation, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly.

　　”His sanity has been completely corrupted by that mass of flesh and blood.” Lin Qiye’s gaze swept across the stomach wall that wrapped around Chen Yangrong’s body as he whispered to Jia Lan, “I can sense that an extremely bizarre and violent divine power is constantly surging into his body from the corpse of the giant beast, and his current realm should have been forcibly pulled up by the divine power of this giant beast’s corpse as well…….

　　An Qingyu had heard from the mouths of the members of the Church of Ancient Gods that the more powerful a god was, the easier it was for his divine power to influence the character and thoughts of his agents, and even though Chen Yangrong wasn’t an agent, I think the principle was the same.

　　Under the wash of such a huge amount of divine power, his subconscious and thoughts have already been completely affected.”

　　”Are you saying that none of his current thoughts are actually his own?” Calan asked suspiciously.

　　”Well, if what he just said is true, then in the end, he’s just an ordinary fisherman who entered this place by chance, how could he be so bold as to threaten to receive the return of a god from a divine lineage within four days? That’s too much of a change of heart!

　　If I’m not mistaken, the …… one that truly wants to receive the return of a gram lineage deity is it.”

　　Lin Qiye extended his hand and pointed to the stomach wall above his head.

　　”This giant beast? What’s its relationship with the Cthulhu Mythos?”

　　”It’s not known …… Perhaps, it is a creature that once extremely worshiped the Cthulhu Mythos, or perhaps …… it is a member of the Cthulhu Mythos.”

　　In the midst of the madly surging seawater, the giant beast’s stomach wall had already engulfed the vast majority of Chen Yangrong’s body, leaving only a head, as well as a chest with a long knife stuck in it, exposed.

　　Drifting hair surging in the seawater, he raised that pale face and looked into the nothingness above his head, the reflection of a blood moon faintly surfacing in his eyes ……

　　He slowly spoke:

　　”The blood moon, is coming down again ……”

　　Fishing village.

　　The sky was darkening, the dusky sunset was covered by thick dark clouds, the night had not yet fully descended, and the sky and earth were dim.

　　The sea, which was originally calm, suddenly swirled with a cold and furious wind, the waves were swept up dozens of meters high and heavily slapped against the shore, the crumbling water droplets turned into a sky of fishy rain, which sprinkled down on the bodies of An Qingyu and Chen Gou.

　　Chen Gou collapsed to the ground, his body curled up in agony, his hands covering his ears as he frantically hit his forehead against the ground.

　　”Don’t say it! Don’t say anymore …… My head is going to crack!”

　　As if he was blissfully unaware of the pain, his forehead hitting the ground with more and more vigor, blood dripping down his cheeks, yet he still had no intention of stopping, as if he wanted to smash his head hard enough to crack it!

　　An Qingyu’s brows tightly furrowed as he pulled Chen Gou’s shoulders to stop his self-inflicted injuries.

　　”Uncle Chen, did you hear what ……”

　　An Qingyu’s words hadn’t even finished asking before his entire body froze in place.

　　Only to see Chen Gou’s face full of blood stains, a pair of eyes scarlet like blood, he stared blankly at the dim sky above his head, a round of blood-colored moon reflected in his pupils, emitting a morose and bizarre light.

　　”I heard ……” Chen Gou muttered, “‘Their’ voices… …”

　　An Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately activated the Forbidden Ruins, his eyes tinted with a layer of grayness as he began to rapidly parse Chen Gou’s body.

　　Vaguely, he saw a strand of scarlet silk extending out from the sea, splitting into two, one of which fused into Chen Gou’s bloodline, continuously eating away at his spirit and flesh.

　　The other strand passed through the boundless sky, extending to who knows where.

　　”Soul contamination?” An Qingyu’s brows furrowed the moment he saw that strand.

　　He took a deep breath, and those gray eyes gazed up earnestly at that blood-colored silk thread, as if trying to parse its existence, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly suffered a sharp pain, as if a sharp thorn had pierced into his eyeballs, and he couldn’t control himself and closed his eyes.

　　”Ah ……” An Qingyu let out a low cry, holding his head with both hands, his expression equally agonized.

　　It was only after tens of seconds that he slowed down and opened his eyes with great difficulty, gasping for breath as if he was deflated.

　　Just now, the moment he tried to analyze the blood-colored threads, the bizarre power of contamination passed through his gaze, wanting to invade his mind and soul, fortunately, An Qingyu’s reaction was quick enough to retrieve his gaze in time, otherwise, he might also have to be contaminated by that bizarre power just like Chen Gou.

　　But he didn’t understand, Chen Gou was just an ordinary fisherman, why would he suddenly get involved with this kind of horrible pollution?

　　An Qingyu looked at Chen Gou who was lying on the ground hissing in pain, and then turned his head to look at the blood-colored silk thread that extended from the bottom of the sea, as well as the second section of the silk thread that split into two and flew towards the sky without knowing where it was going, as if he thought of something, his pupils slightly contracted!

　　”…… My wife fell ill and died several years ago, and my son walked out of this fishing village a few years ago, and went outside to venture ……”

　　”…… A few days ago, I went out to sea with my father to fish, met the wind and waves …… I was lucky to be fished by other villagers’ fishing boats, but my father did not …… ”

　　These two words of Chen Gou suddenly echoed in An Qingyu’s ears, and in this instant, he thought of a certain possibility.

　　”Bloodline? This soul contamination that permeates the bloodline?” An Qingyu muttered.

　　If his guess was correct, the bloodline that extended from the bottom of the sea was from Chen Gou’s father, who was also the true source of this soul contamination.

　　And this weird soul pollution, through the bloodline between the underworld, is affecting his children and grandchildren, which also includes Chen Gou, who is still in the fishing village, as well as his grandson, Chen Lu, who left the fishing village long ago.

　　The dreams that Chen Gou has been having for the past two nights are more than just dreams, as he said, it is his father passing some kind of message to them through his bloodline.

　　The dead, pools of blood, red moon, kneeling ……

　　An Qingyu looked like she realized something, and jerked her head up to look at the sky, at some point, at the edge of the thick dark clouds, there was already a corner of the blood-colored moon, quietly peeking out.
