Chapter 2515 God Of Water


    Looking at the statue, Lin Mu could faint feel a hidden aura. It almost seemed real, but he knew it was just a remnant of times long gone.


    "So that''s an Antean." Lin Mu said in his mind. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "Indeed. A very strong race but often a prey to its own ws." Xukong replied. "The rebellion?" Lin Mu asked remembering what Ziran had said.


    "Yes… one of the many." Xukong answered.


    "That wasn''t only one?" Lin Mu raised his brows.


    "Of course not. Their race has them every era. They tend to keep to themselves but their power makes a few ambitious individuals among them wish for more. This eventually spreads out to the others in their settlements and those with like minds band together.


    It also doesn''t help that the few interactions they have with humans isn''t usually good and they have long standing prejudices against them. In fact, it was one of the reasons why they originally retreated to the depths of the oceans.


    A faction of them thinks of the humans as an inferior race and wishes for the dominance of the Anteans. There has been over a hundred rebellions that I''ve seen in my time." Xukong exined making Lin Mu rather surprised.


    "I didn''t expect that…" Lin Mu was surprised that there could be so many problems with them.


    "Though the most recent one was certainly the one of the most deadly for them and brought them a lot of losses. It was bad enough that the Immortal Court has them on high priority in case an Antean is seen anywhere.


    Other than the rare few that have permission from the Immortal Court, all others will be monitored closely." Xukong revealed.


    "Are there any among them that tried to mend the situation?" Lin Mu didn''t think that there were only two thought schools among them of seclusion and dominance.


    "There have been yes, but they were almost always the minority. Thest time they managed to do anything significant was a very long time ago even for me. Besides they usually don''t operate outside their oceans and any contact they have with the rest of the cultivation world is mostly through the other Aquatic races." Xukong stated.


    "So they have good rtions with the Merpeople and more?" Lin Mu inquired.


    "It varies from region to region, but most are either allied or neutral with them. But there''s always conflicts. Though there''s still an hierarchy among the races that live in the oceans with the Anteans usually being at the top of they are present in a region.


    The Merpeoplee closer second or on an equal level with the Fishkin, and other races being far below. Usually only the Aquatic Beast experts can contend or even outperform the Anteans on the same level." Xukong exined further.


    "Hmm… Now that I think of it, they don''t seem that different form just us humans." Lin Mu could see the stark simrities.


    "Of course, they were humans once too." Xukong chuckled.


    "How did they be what they are though?" Lin Mu was curious. "Some technique or treasure?" "There''s several theories to it but most consider it a consequence of multiple factors. There was said to be a great expert in the past who couldmand the Oceans, seas, rivers and rain with a mere flick of his finger.


    This expert took in many people under him as his followers and was proimed as god.


    It is said that it was under his guidance that his followers eventually became Anteans." Xukong exined.


    "Who was that expert?" Lin Mu wondered.


    "He was called as Neptune, the God of Water." Xukong stated making Lin Mu tremble lightly.


    Lin Mu felt a strange pressure on his mind and a faint image flickered in front of him. It was that of a bearded elderly man whose bod yaws full of muscles. Dark hair hung from his head while a sea green mantle adorned his body. A mighty storm raged around him but he stood staunch with waves crashing everywhere. He held a fierce trident in his right hand, while with his left hand he held reins of the best he stood upon.


    It was that of a horse with two legs and the lower body of a dolphin!


    Seeing that beast Lin Mu recognized it almost immediately.


    ''The Hippocampus?!'' Lin Mu thought to himself.


    ~SHUA~


    But just a momentter the image in his mind faded away and a faint headache reced it.


    "Ugh…" Lin Mu held his head. "Was that… A effect of Karma?" he was surprised.


    "Oh? You actually felt it?" Xukong was a bit surprised. "I didn''t expect Neptune''s Karma to still affect anyone… it''s been far too long since he''s died." He added.


    "It wasn''t as bad asst time." Lin Mu still remembered the heavy pressure he had felt from the Chimeric Fiend God''s Karma and the image that he had seen of him. ''Lin Mo had stepped in to stop it back then but this time there was no need.'' He thought.


    "That''s good. Just the fact that its still intact shows that his connection was quite strong here. The Anteans who lived here must have had staunch faith in him." Xukong replied as he nced at the ruins through Lin Mu''s memories.


    "Now we need to see why the Withered Spirit Daoist''s Soul Fragment was sealed here. Did the Anteans do it too?" Lin Mu couldn''t help but question. He turned back to look and saw that everyone had reached him so he continued onwards along with the Twin''s guidance.


    They brought him downwards towards a lone building that stood near the center of the city. It was barely a few hundred meters from therge statue he had seen and it was also the building that looked to be the best ''maintained''.


    It had tens of golden arches extending from its center like branches, at the end of which stood smaller towers that were shaped like tridents themselves.


    But the most eye catching was the glowing figures of Anteans that seemingly stood guard at its entrance!
