"My father's old injury is not in good condition." Tang San's expression showed a little low when mentioning this. "He was injured by the previous Pope in his early years. There is still black mist in the wound, and his body is gradually being eaten away. I thought of many ways, but none of them worked. Even the Eight Spider Lance could not remove the black mist in his body." Lu Ye was silent for a moment, and said: "If his injury has been in his body for twenty years, then it is indeed impossible to remove it."

After years of getting along, plus the friendship of being from the same hometown in the previous life, Tang San now knows Lu Ye's character very well. He knows that she is pragmatic in everything and never exaggerates or gives useless false comfort. Although he guessed Lu Ye's answer, he still couldn't help asking: "Is there really no way?"

Unexpectedly, this time the deer did not deny him: "Yes."

She raised her eyes from afar, looking in the direction of Poseidon Island, "As long as the black fog can disappear from this world."

"So, if you want to save Tang Hao, you must hurry up and find that false god who is hiding his head and showing his tail, and destroy him before he is completely alienated."

……

It was not until dusk that the Shrek people gathered in the yard again.

Unfortunately, almost everyone returned empty-handed. Just as Zi Zhenzhu said, most of the residents from Poseidon Island were very secretive about what happened on Poseidon Island. When they heard that Shrek and his men were coming to inquire, they all shut up tacitly, shook their heads and said goodbye three times, not giving them the opportunity to ask further questions.

The only one who gained something was Lu Ye. Because the person she asked was not someone else, but Hai Ning, who locked herself in her room as soon as she returned to Purple Pearl Island. She was the "saint" that Hai Ning had been looking for. Compared with other people, Hai Ning had a higher degree of trust and intimacy with her, so it was most appropriate for her to complete this task.

"High Priest Poseidon announced the complete closure of Seagod Temple?" After hearing what Lu Ye said, Tang San was stunned at first, "No wonder the people of Seagod Island reacted so strongly."

Tang San turned around, but saw that the others were still confused. Dai Mubai asked curiously: "What is the Sea God Temple?"

Tang San: "Haven't you heard about the Sea God Temple?"

The others all shook their heads.

Tang San was surprised: "How did you ask those residents?"

"That's what I'm asking." Oscar said, "What happened on Poseidon Island in the past few years? Why did everyone move here from Poseidon Island?"

The others nodded, apparently asking the same question in the same way as he did.

Tang San:"……"

Thinking of how he had tried to get information indirectly, by making subtle references, by carefully testing others, and finally by analyzing the information one by one, Tang San sincerely felt that in the future, it would be better not to leave this kind of work of dealing with people and gathering information to these companions.

"The Seagod Temple is the core of the entire Seagod Island. The Great Priest and the Seven Sons of God live there." Tang San explained to his companions, "The Great Priest of Seagod Island, Poseidon, is a Titled Douluo whose martial spirit is the Seagod. Together with the seven sacred pillar guardians, he has guarded the Seagod Island for generations. It is said that there is also a divine weapon in the Seagod Temple that can affect the safety of the entire continent. It can be said that the Seagod Temple is not only the residence of the Great Priest, but also the core of the faith of the entire Seagod Island."

Lu Ye: "Just like burning incense and worshipping gods, the Sea Temple is that temple, or church."

Shrek's people suddenly realized that the closure of the Sea Temple was like the closure of the temple church, and the people naturally had opinions.

"Even if that's the case, it wouldn't make these people so dissatisfied, right?" Ning Rongrong said, "If you really have faith in your heart, you can express your piety to the gods even at home."

"The problem lies in the black fog." Lu Ye said calmly, "Not long after Poseidon sealed off the Sea God Temple, the Sea God Island was engulfed by the spreading black fog."

From Haining's description, she could almost imagine the scene at that time. The overwhelming black fog turned half of the island into nothingness, and the people swallowed up became mad monsters. The survivors screamed and prayed in this sudden disaster, howling to the Sea Temple they believed in, trying to make the merciful gods see their suffering and bring them salvation and blessings.

Unfortunately not.

From beginning to end, Poseidon did not show up, nor did Poseidon. The Titled Douluo who once protected the entire Poseidon Island just sat in the tall and cold temple in deathly silence, watching the Poseidon Island being swallowed by disaster and eventually going to destruction.

The establishment and destruction of faith is often just a matter of thought.

Since then, everyone believed that the Sea God had long since disappeared from the world. The gods and priests revered by all people fell from the altar and became sinners reviled by all people. Only a group of loyal believers like Haining who had a closer relationship with the Sea God Temple were still willing to believe that the High Priest had not given up on them and that the Sea God had not perished.

Facing Haining's determination, Lu also tentatively asked: "If that's the case, why didn't Poseidon show up to protect you when the strange fog appeared?"

Haining looked sad. "The High Priest would never abandon the people of the Sea God. She must have some unspeakable reasons for doing this. Perhaps she is facing a threat that is far more powerful and unstoppable than the ones we have encountered."

After conveying Haining's point of view, Lu Ye asked the Shrek Seven Devils: "What do you think?"

Xiao Wu raised her hand first: "I agree more with what Hai Ning said. If according to what so many people said, the great priest has been guarding the Sea God Temple for hundreds of years, why would he suddenly close the Sea God Temple when he had nothing to do? Something terrible must have happened."

Ma Hongjun said: "What if she has been contaminated by the black fog? We have seen it before when we were in Wuhun City. If she is contaminated by those things, she will turn into a monster. If she has become a monster, it is not surprising that she did something like this."

Xiao Wu stared at him in confusion: "That great priest is already a Titled Douluo. If he really turned into a monster, why would he go to all that trouble? Wouldn't it be faster to just go to the island and massacre people?"

Ma Hongjun: "..."

It made sense, and he was convinced.

Lu didn't reply. Before she could be 100% sure of the facts, she would usually only speculate and not draw conclusions. In any case, since Haining said that he had heard the oracle conveyed by Poseidon when he returned to Poseidon Island, and also mentioned her, the "Saint", it at least showed that Poseidon was still rational when he returned to Poseidon Island.

In other words, they are now racing against the black fog. The longer this matter is delayed, the more likely Poseidon's condition will worsen, and the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

"We have to go to Poseidon Island." Thinking of this, Lu also stood up, "Get ready and set off tomorrow."

Ma Hongjun almost tripped and fell: "Tomorrow? So soon?"

"The longer the night, the more trouble we have. The later we set out, the greater the uncertainty." Lu also said, "I will ask Zi Zhenzhu to borrow a boat tonight."
