noon.

Island of the Sea God.

The guards stationed at the island's watchtower noticed several ships approaching from a distance.

Huh? Is that a merchant ship from the Fangheng Chamber of Commerce?

You're back so soon?
Strangely enough, Oz Empire ships also returned this time.

Brigitte was puzzled, but she still led her men to the port to greet them.

Fang Heng was the first to jump off the merchant ship, leading Cao Ge and the other man towards Bridget.

"Mr. Fang Heng, you're back so soon. Did you encounter some trouble?" Bridget nodded slightly to Fang Heng, then looked at the several Oz Empire warships docked in the harbor and asked, "What are those ships?"

"We encountered the Imperial warships on the way. They've run into some trouble, so we're traveling with them for now. Don't worry, they only need some basic supplies and won't disembark."

Before coming, the group discussed it and decided to temporarily conceal the fact that Princess Willow was also on the ship in order to avoid provoking the Lyman Empire.

"I see."

Brigitte assumed that Fang Heng had been delayed by an Oz Empire ship and had to return to Poseidon's Island, so she asked, "Are you planning to set off again today?"

"Set off? We're already back, what's the point of setting off again?"

As Fang Heng spoke, he glanced at the tower in the center of the island and smiled, saying, "The mission is complete. Take me to see the High Priest."

"Oh, okay..."

Bridget answered, then suddenly gasped in shock, turning to stare intently at Fang Heng, her eyes filled with astonishment. "What did you just say? The mission is already complete?"

"nature."

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Take me to see Soye."

Bridget looked Fang Heng up and down a few times, then gestured to his subordinates, telling them to go and inform High Priest Sawyer first.

joke.

Fang Heng left Poseidon Island this morning, and it's not even afternoon yet.

In this short time, even a ship wouldn't be able to reach Whispering Isle.
What is he up to?

Bridget had no idea what Fang Heng was planning, and simply said, "Alright, please come with me."

Soon, Fang Heng followed Bridget into the central tower and met Sawyer in the lounge.

Sawyer, like Bridget, was also puzzled when he learned that Fang Heng had completed his mission.

How long has it been? The mission is already complete?
He didn't believe it.

Let alone four hours, even if Fang Heng had forty hours, he didn't think he could finish.

The false god who occupies Whispering Island is quite powerful.

Over the years, he has tried various methods and tactics, but all of them have ended in failure.

Whispering Isle is an extremely formidable opponent.

In fact, Sawyer suffered several losses there.

Sawyer picked up the teacup on the wooden table beside him, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Fang Heng, I heard you have completed your mission."

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded slightly, then flicked his wrist, displaying the divine authority in his hand.

"Cough cough cough..."

Upon seeing the divine authority in Fang Heng's hand, Sawyer choked on his tea and coughed violently. He waved to stop his subordinates who wanted to help, staring intently at the dark gold divine authority in Fang Heng's hand.

Theocracy!

It really is divine right!

It's a ghost!

Where did he get his divine authority?

Did they really come from Whispering Isle?
He defeated the false god on the Whispering Isle?

For a moment, Sawyer was filled with questions.

The priests in the lounge were also shocked and looked at Fang Heng with astonishment in their eyes.

“High Priest Sawyer,” Fang Heng said, handing the divine authority forward with an air of nonchalance, “would you like to have it checked?”

"it is good."

Sawyer took over the divine authority from Fang Heng.

The moment he gained control of the divine authority, Sawyer's heart skipped a beat.

it is true!
The divine right cannot be imitated; its authenticity can be discerned upon first touch.

Seeing the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces, Cao Ge felt a surge of pleasure. He chuckled and asked, "High Priest, do you see any problem with divine authority?"

Under the intense gazes of the crowd, Sawyer nodded and said, "There is no problem with divine authority; it is true."

"Then the divine statue that promised us?"

Sawyer frowned slightly.

His original plan was to incite hatred between Whispering Isle and Fang Heng, causing them to both suffer heavy losses.

But now Fang Heng has actually completed the mission and returned with divine authority in a swaggering manner, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

Priest Darcy stepped forward and said with a smile, "Please be patient. The Isle of the Sea God has always kept its promises, and we will definitely do what we promised you. However, this matter has happened too suddenly. To be honest, we did not expect you to complete the task so quickly. Please give us some time to confirm whether this divine authority belongs to the Whispering Isle."

Fang Heng knew this was a delaying tactic, and said in a deep voice, "How long will it take? We don't have time. We will return before dark."

Darcy chuckled and said, "So soon? Please be patient. We will arrange accommodations for you all. Just stay here for a while, and once we have confirmed the situation on Whispering Isle, we will take you to collect the statues of the gods as soon as possible."

“No need for that,” Fang Heng shook his head and said, “Just pretend I never came back. I’m sure there are others who are interested in divine authority.”

After Fang Heng finished speaking, he looked at Sawyer, stretched out his hand to him, and gestured for him to return the divine authority in his hands.

Sawyer frowned.

Having finally obtained divine authority, how could he easily relinquish it?
Sawyer said, "Fang Heng, let's set a deadline of sunset. I will give you all a clear answer before sunset."

"Alright, then thank you all for your help. I'll be waiting for your news."

As Fang Heng spoke, he did not retract the hand he had extended toward Sawyer.

Cao Ge laughed and said, "It's just confirming the news about Whispering Isle, there's no need for divine authority, is there?"

Sawyer reluctantly relinquished his divine authority and said to Bridget, who was standing beside him, "Bridget, take them down to rest first."

"Yes!"

The high priests of Poseidon Island watched Fang Heng and his group leave the lounge.

"Well……"

High Priest Sawyer pondered for a moment and then asked, "What do you all think?"

"High Priest".

An elderly priest stepped forward, his eyes burning with excitement, and said, “This is undoubtedly true divine authority. Whether or not it was obtained from the Whispering Isle, it is extremely important to us, and we must obtain it.”

These words struck a chord with Sawyer.

The Whispering Isle is just a pretext; the divine right is real, and they must get their hands on it.

"But Fang Heng is a troublesome person."

Another priest said, "If he has truly reclaimed divine power from Whispering Isle, it means he is more difficult to deal with than the false god of Whispering Isle. Besides, we cannot hand over the statue of the deity bestowed upon us by the main island to Fang Heng."

Everyone fell silent.

indeed.

Everyone witnessed the events that occurred last night at the sea monster's nest.

Although there was no evidence, they all felt that this matter was absolutely inseparable from Fang Heng.

This kid looks like he's going to cause trouble.

If things escalate, they really aren't confident they can completely subdue Fang Heng. (End of Chapter)
