Chapter 614: Chapter 615 The Origin of Water and the Sea_1

"But speaking of which, why are the Maritime People so much more powerful?"

Feng Yuan was curious, for in the previous battle he had noticed that most of the Maritime People’s Spirit Beasts were of the Legendary Level and Legendary Level, while on the Island Jellyfish’s side, apart from the Island Jellyfish being of Legendary Level, they were almost all rare and elite, with only a few at the Legendary Level.

"It’s because they used to be the ones among our Maritime People who were responsible for fighting..."

Xia Yu sighed, noticing the displeasure on Cheng Yong’s face, and said helplessly,

"Before the division, we all called ourselves the Maritime People. It’s been only so many years, and you have changed like this..."

"They attack us from time to time!"

Cheng Yong couldn’t help but raise his voice, Xiao An nodded, and Feng Yuan glanced at Cheng Yong and said,

"To be honest, if they really played dirty, I don’t think many of you would survive, the gap in power levels is too large."

Feng Yuan had previously found it strange that so many Legendary Level and Legendary Level Spirit Beasts had not managed to kill a single Aquatic Person, if it was just a divergence of ideology, it would make sense, especially since those responsible for fighting are generally tasked with guarding duties.

"How is that possible!"

Cheng Yong and Xiao An were somewhat incredulous, Xia Yu glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Indeed, it’s true, but after such a long time, I don’t know if they will still remember..."

"By the way, what exactly caused your division?"

Liu Wenli was curious, wanting to know how this awkward situation came about, Xia Yu sighed and said,

"Let me think, it seems it started with the measures toward the land-dwellers."

"Measures toward the land-dwellers?!"

Wei Dingwu was puzzled, not understanding how the division of the Maritime People was related to them, he glanced at Wei Dingwu, Xia Yu continued,

"Yes, originally, several towns played dirty tricks in their trade with us, preventing others from trading with us, and deliberately driving down prices, even passing off inferior goods as quality ones."

"Although we protested, it was in vain, and we even suffered retaliation from them."

"Then why don’t you change places?"

Mo Ling was puzzled, as there were so many towns along the coast; why did they insist on going to those places?

"Because other places are too far, and in fact, we only exchange with the land-dwellers some special medicinal herbs and some living supplies that are simply unobtainable in the vast ocean."

"And even if we went to other places, it would be the same; some wouldn’t allow us into the cities, and others, like them, seemed to think we were easy to bully, so..."

"How could this be..."

Cheng Yong found it hard to accept this fact; he himself was responsible for the trade between Pearl Town and the land-dwellers, and never felt any difficulty, as long as the goods were brought to them, those people would trade at the standard prices marked by the Shell Coin Bureau.

Looking at Cheng Yong, Xia Yu sighed and said,

"That’s because those people became more and more outrageous over time, even wanting to take us Maritime People as their slaves..."

"And then you fought a battle?"

Feng Yuan had no doubt about their capabilities; given the group of Spirit Beasts he had seen earlier, perhaps not deep inland, but along the coast... standing in the sea and bombarding, you’d have no way to block it, really thinking that a salvo from Legendary Level Spirit Beasts is easy to catch.

"Not really... Back then, we were somewhat worried that if we truly attacked them, what we would do if they retaliated..."

"If they stopped supplying us with medicinal herbs, although we would not struggle to survive, many injuries would not receive effective treatment, and some special resources would still have to rely on the land-dwellers..."

"Back then, everyone was incessantly debating whether or not to go to war until... those people took Li Nianwei and the others hostages..."

"At that time, Li Tianhai, who was then the vice-general, took over the general’s authority and led his troops to attack that town, but I think the general did it on purpose..."

"While they were still arguing, Li Tianhai led his troops to completely erase that town from the map..."

"After that incident, our dispute with the land-dwellers escalated, Li Tianhai led his forces to blockade the sea, and they in turn prohibited anyone from providing us with any supplies."

"What happened next?"

Seeing Xia Yu didn’t continue, Feng Yuan asked curiously while eating popcorn, and Guo Huai gave Feng Yuan a speechless look and said,

"Can’t you be serious at a time like this?"

"Tsk!"

"Afterwards... the war just couldn’t stop because the supplies from the land had been cut off. The internal disputes among the Maritime People were also intense, with some thinking just like you do, ’Why insist on staying when we can move somewhere else?’"

Seeing Mo Ling feeling somewhat embarrassed, Old Master Xia Yu sighed and said,

"But Li Tianhai was unwilling to give up those islands. Not then and not even now. Our Divine Islands were never enough to accommodate everyone."

"Even now, more than half of the Aquatic People and Maritime People live on the islands, and the number was even greater back then."

"Thus, when another child of the Aquatic People died due to the lack of medical supplies, the conflict finally erupted. At that time, the Maritime People split, with one part taking the Divine Islands away from the Maritime People and renaming themselves as the Aquatic People."

"Others stayed behind, but..."

"Due to the departure of the Divine Islands which constituted the majority of territories the Maritime People had, Li Tianhai and those on the front line suddenly found themselves in a shortage of supplies, as ordinary islands didn’t have that many miracles..."

"How could this be..."

Xiao An couldn’t believe this truth. Cheng Yong glanced at Xiao An with a complex expression; he wasn’t unable to understand those who chose to leave. Whether it be the Maritime People or the Aquatic People, both were relatively loose organizations without much binding force. If it was to prevent Xiao An from falling into danger due to others...

"It’s so realistic."

Liu Wenli said sarcastically. She wasn’t surprised by this at all. Wei Fangwu sighed and didn’t say much. He’d seen this kind of thing before. Mo Li held Mo Ling in his arms and whispered comforting words while Feng Yuan asked with some curiosity,

"Then what happened after that?"

"After that..."

Xia Yu looked at Delong Tower with respect and said,

"At that time, all the Maritime People who remained gave their full support to Li Tianhai. They saved their own supplies, hoping to alleviate the shortage of resources on the front lines."

"But after all, the limitations of ordinary islands were too great. As the shortage of supplies worsened, those fighting by the sea began to fall into danger. It was at that time that the Sea God suddenly appeared."

"It unleashed a tsunami that completely erased the region where the town was located. The fierce storm completely sealed off the coast of that country and even drove away the coastal residents..."

As he spoke, Xia Yu revealed a smile and said,

"No one can live in a place where it rains all the time. Only after those people completely retreated did the Sea God slowly withdraw the attacks."

"So, you’re saying you took over a territory?"

Wei Dingwu’s expression was somewhat unpleasant. No matter what, she still considered herself a so-called "land person." Hua Yiyou smiled slightly and said,

"That’s unlikely, not to mention other factors. That country alone would not give up so easily, unless you have the ability to defend that territory, which is improbable."

Xia Yu nodded and said,

"Indeed. Although many people hoped to occupy the territory laid down by the Sea God, Li Tianhai didn’t do so. Instead, he had people sweep the area for supplies and also sent people to secretly infiltrate other places to quietly exchange some important materials."

"Why?"

Mo Ling couldn’t understand, and Liu Wenli nodded and said,

"Smart. Not to mention how they would defend against enemy attacks on land. Since you can’t grow those things on the islands, there is a high chance they are special products from deep inland, impossible to cultivate in coastal regions."

"You’re correct. Although there were those who didn’t understand at the time, with the fighting during the retreat and the failed cultivation on the islands, everyone admired his actions."

"Although the attack by Delong Tower was unexpected, it was actually just about eliminating that ’Black Town’ and not that there was no room for negotiation."

Liu Wenli, who knew what the nobles were like, spoke up, and Xia Yu nodded in agreement,

"That’s true."
