For a full eight months, Wei Chen stood still. In the beginning, he had some expressions, but as time passed, he became completely expressionless.
Finally, at the end of the eighth month, Wei Chen moved.
Senior Sea God watched as Wei Chen trembled all over. In just a few breaths, it was as if he had been drenched in water; sweat poured down like rain.
Wei Chen's trembling made Senior Sea God's heart tremble in response.
Seeing the sweat on Wei Chen's body, Senior Sea God felt an impulse to sweat himself.
He was genuinely nervous!
Fortunately, he was only a Soul Body within the formation and not his true self, so he did not sweat...
But deep within the Sea God Palace, in the depths of the formation, Senior Sea God's true body was already sweating profusely, no less than what Wei Chen was experiencing.
Senior Sea God's anxiety surpassed even that of Wei Chen.
Or perhaps it was only Senior Sea God who was anxious; Wei Chen did not seem nervous at all.
His trembling and sweating were merely a result of his Mental Strength being pushed to its limits. When the patterns in the Sea of Consciousness became overwhelmingly large, it naturally manifested in this state.
"This Paralyze formation is truly terrifying, as expected from a Secondary God. Just the array lines alone number in the hundreds of thousands!"
"If I weren't exceptionally clever, I might have been completely ensnared by this formation and could have lost my divine consciousness entirely."
"Just switch to someone else; after watching for so long, they might as well be dead by now."
"Aside from those gods, I’m probably the only one who can break this formation."
"Ah, Senior Sea God, encountering me is truly your good fortune."
As he thought about it, a smile unconsciously appeared on Wei Chen's lips.
That smile was like a huge reassurance to the Senior Sea God.
"This kid, could it be that he has thought of a solution?"
"Damn it, after all this time, has he finally come up with a plan?"
"Eight whole months, and has this kid finally found a way?"
The Senior Sea God felt an urge to cry; he had almost given up hope in Wei Chen. Suddenly seeing that smile on Wei Chen's face reignited his hope in an instant.
"This kid really has potential. Can he really think of a way to deal with the Secondary God's formation?"
"The Formation Assignment may not seem impressive when one's strength is low, but in the Divine Realm, those with strong Formation Assignments have a clear advantage. This kid's future might surprise me."
The Senior Sea God understood how crucial Formation Assignment was in the Divine Realm. Those with strong Formation Assignments could gather the Heart of the World much more easily. In the Divine Realm, every level of advancement required vast amounts of Power of Belief, and that Power of Belief came from controlling the world. Formation Assignment was the greatest aid in this endeavor.
"Once this child breaks the formation and becomes the Boundary God of this world, the possibility of advancing to a First-Level Deity within ten thousand years is quite high."
"Perhaps he might even break through to become a Secondary God?"
Just because of that faint smile, the Senior Sea God regarded Wei Chen with a bit more favor.
If it weren't for that smile, the Senior Sea God would have wanted to wake Wei Chen up and ask him if he could succeed; if not, he should just leave and stop wasting time here.
Anyone, even a god, would feel a bit impatient in such a situation.
The smile at the corner of Wei Chen's mouth was a beginning, a good sign.
Although he fell silent again after that smile, the Senior Sea God was no longer anxious.
The sweat on Wei Chen gradually dried as time passed. The Senior Sea God quietly observed him, already convinced that Wei Chen could create miracles.
With such humble strength, breaking the confinement formation left by a Secondary God was a miracle the Senior Sea God had never dared to imagine before.
In the blink of an eye, four more months had passed.
For an entire year, Wei Chen had been studying that formation. The enormous pattern nearly filled his Sea of Consciousness.
Wei Chen thought of nothing else because there was no extra space in his Sea of Consciousness to entertain any distractions.
It felt as if his mind was completely filled, leaving no room for anything else.
"A year has passed, damn it, and I've finally comprehended this formation. The formation of the Secondary God is truly formidable; if it were even a bit more complex, I wouldn't be able to hold on."
"Thinking about it carefully, the formation of the Secondary God isn't all that impressive. If someone of my caliber can crack it, how furious would that Secondary God be if he knew that someone like me managed to break his formation?"
Wei Chen pondered this as he felt the gaze of the Senior Sea God upon him. Finally, he made his move.
This time, it wasn't a trembling motion but a decisive action.
Wei Chen's hands formed several seals as he gathered some magical energy and directed it toward the formation.
He aimed at one of the lines in the formation and infused his magical energy into it, but the result left Wei Chen dumbfounded.
"What the hell? I can't break through?"
Wei Chen felt an urge to curse. He had been so focused on breaking the formation that he completely overlooked the fact that this formation was constructed with advanced Divine Power. His magical energy was far too low-level; breaking through a single line would require dozens or even hundreds of times more energy than he had anticipated.
"This is paralyzing; it's infuriating! At this rate, my magical energy won't last!"
Wei Chen cursed and stomped his feet in frustration.
At that moment, the Senior Sea God appeared and asked with concern, "Is it that your power level is too low to break the formation?"
"Senior Sea God," Wei Chen said respectfully after bowing, "my power is quite low compared to the Divine Power of this formation. Even if I exert all my strength, I can only break through a few lines. It's impossible to break them all. I've pondered deeply and found a way to decipher the formation, but now I realize that my power is insufficient."
Wei Chen forced a bitter smile; this was truly frustrating.
At this point, he felt completely at a loss.
The Senior Sea God frowned and asked, "Can you use my Divine Power?"
"No, you won't be able to break the formation accurately. A slight miscalculation could ruin everything," Wei Chen replied helplessly.
The Senior Sea God contemplated for a moment, his expression turning extremely serious. He fixed his gaze on Wei Chen and asked earnestly, "Child, how confident are you in breaking the formation right now?"
"Zero," Wei Chen said, shrugging his shoulders. "The gap in power is just too great; there's no way around it. Even if I were a hundred times stronger, using the magic power within the Demon Realm wouldn't help."
"I mean, if you had Divine Power, how confident would you be in breaking the formation?" the Senior Sea God asked seriously.
Wei Chen was taken aback. Did the Senior Sea God mean to give him the Heart of the God?
Although it might lead to a great surprise, Wei Chen still thought it through carefully before saying, "If I had Divine Power, the probability of breaking the formation would be one hundred percent."
Hearing this, the Senior Sea God nodded and said, "Alright, I will give you the Heart of the God."
"Senior, isn't your body trapped in the formation? Can you really send out the Heart of the God?" Wei Chen asked.
"The Senior Sea God said, 'My body is indeed within the formation, so I cannot tear apart space or return to my Ancestral Realm. However, I can send out my Heart of the God. That Secondary God's formation cannot restrain my Heart of the God. If I lose my Heart of the God and cannot return to the Ancestral Realm within ten years, my soul will scatter, and I will never be able to reincarnate.'
'Is it that serious?' Wei Chen looked at the Senior Sea God and hurriedly asked, 'Senior, I currently have no idea how long it will take to refine your Heart of the God, nor do I know how long it will take to gather enough Divine Power to break the formation after refining it. If the Divine Power is sufficient, I can break the formation in just a month. Please calculate the time before you make a decision.'
Seeing Wei Chen's reaction, the Senior Sea God felt greatly relieved and praised, 'You are quite conscientious; you won't disregard others' lives for your own benefit. I estimate that you will need half a year to refine and absorb my Heart of the God, but I am unsure how long it will take for you to gather enough Divine Power. So, my life is entirely in your hands now.'
Upon hearing the Senior Sea God's words, Wei Chen suddenly felt as if a tremendous burden had been placed on his shoulders.
That burden was so great that it made Wei Chen feel somewhat overwhelmed.
'Sir, is there really no other way? Can you transfer some of your Divine Power to me so that I can control it to break the formation? I have no understanding of Divine Power and don't know how to gather enough in a short time. I'm afraid if I fail, it would harm you,' Wei Chen said sincerely as he looked at the Senior Sea God.
The Senior Sea God replied calmly, 'It's fine. If you cannot break the formation, regardless of what happens, I will die.'
The Sea God was not being magnanimous; it was a move born out of desperation. Not giving his Heart of the God to Wei Chen meant certain death. Giving it to Wei Chen might still offer a chance at survival. Faced with such a choice, anyone would choose the latter—sacrificing a few hundred years of mere existence for one last shot at life.
The Senior Sea God's actions were essentially a gamble with his life.
A gamble that one only takes when they are nearly out of options.
A dignified Sea God and First-Level Deity reduced to such circumstances—it truly was tragic.
If there had been any other choice, he would never have acted this way."
At this point, there was no choice left.
Wei Chen looked at the Senior Sea God, deeply bowing in respect, and said, "Senior Sea God, I do not know if I can succeed, but I promise to give it my all!"
"Very well, I will now send out the Heart of the God. You should refine and absorb it as quickly as possible."
The Senior Sea God gazed deeply at Wei Chen for a moment before vanishing into the formation.
His soul could penetrate the formation, and so could his Heart of the God, but his body was firmly trapped by the array. To return to the Ancestral Realm, he needed to tear through space with his physical form; the existence of the formation severed his path back.
Now, the only way back might be opened by Wei Chen, and the Senior Sea God was willing to gamble his life on it.
Not long after the Sea God disappeared, a crystal-clear orb about the size of a fist slowly flew out from the formation and hovered before Wei Chen.
Soon after, the Senior Sea God reappeared, looking even weaker than before.
Forcibly extracting the Heart of the God from his body had drained too much of his Divine Power. The already frail Senior Sea God now appeared incredibly aged and weak even in spirit.
"Child, this is my Heart of the God. All gods' Hearts of the God are like this; it is a source of power. Whether it is shaping the Sea Tribe's Sea God or the Snow Tribe's Snow Goddess, or even forming the Demon Clan's Demon God, the source power remains the same."
The Senior Sea God looked gravely at Wei Chen and continued, "You may begin refining it now. Whether you can save my life depends on you."
