<h4>Chapter 563 The Sea God''s Approval </h4>


    The wall that had once sealed the Book of the Astral Realm was nowpletely shattered.


    All that remained were fragments of the sealing stones, each containing immense power.


    Some of these sealing stone fragments could even be used as primary materials for teleportation scrolls.


    This situation gave John a deeper understanding of the Book of the Astral Realm.


    "It seems the Book of the Astral Realm not only grants immense power to its user but also possesses formidable control over space. It could probably traverse any known ne," John mused.


    Although he had his spections, he couldn''t confirm whether they were true, as the Book of the Astral Realm was still being contested.


    John was well aware that the struggle for the Book of the Astral Realm wouldn''t be resolved quickly.


    Therefore, he didn''t rush Adam and Blue Sea''s actions. Sighing, John decided to return to the main hall of the Great Library.


    Remaining on the top floor too long would likely be annoying to the apprentice magi studying there.


    Despite his strength surpassing that of the apprentices, John would eventually need to study spells and search for books in the Great Library.


    John needed the assistance of these apprentice magi in this process.


    Just as John reached the main hall, a sh of light appeared before him, and the Book of the Astral Realm materialized in front of him.


    Its appearance caused a significant energy fluctuation in the Great Library''s hall, sending the people there into a state of panic.


    To avoid causing further trouble, John immediately used the Abyssal Prison spell, ensuring that the power of the Book of the Astral Realm would not affect those around him.


    Afterward, John took the Book of the Astral Realm back to his base in the game.


    It was there he finally learned why the book had suddenly appeared before him.


    The Sea God had made contact with John.


    The voice of the Sea God resonated directly in John''s mind: "You have been a great help to me this time, consider this as your reward! We will continue to cooperate in the future. I can sense that the Mystery Saint will not easily give up his ns. Even if the power of Mystery cannot enable him to revive swiftly, he will not rest. He is sure to use other methods to weaken our strength."


    Sea God''s words were indeed very candid. After hearing them, John responded seriously, "I believe your spection is urate. The Mystery Saint will definitely not easily abandon his ns. We must prepare for the uing battle with him. Do you have any n?"


    In response to John''s question, the Sea God did not immediately reply.


    His silencested so long that John began to think that the Sea God had ended theirmunication.


    Just as John was about to speak again, the voice of the Sea God resurfaced in his mind: "I haven''t thought of a good strategy to counter him. However, your presence has given me a new idea. You may be able to provide substantial help in the future.


    Your strength has earned my recognition, and henceforth you are authorized to use all spells rted to me. Your adventurer friends will also receive my rewards. Especially the one named Blue Sea; he seems to be quite adept at spells rted to me. Following this, the level of spells rted to me that he can use will be further enhanced.


    Inform him of this; he might then understand how to quickly elevate his strength to a higher level. I hope that you adventurers possess top-tier power because in the uing battles, you adventurers are crucial. That is all I have to say for now; I must attend to other pressing matters."


    With these words, the Sea God''smunication concluded, leaving John with much to contemte and prepare for the challenges ahead.


    After the Sea God severed themunication, John was left to process the god''s thoughts and intentions.


    He felt a sense of tion at having earned the Sea God''s approval, especially since the Sea God was the first deity of the Order Faction to recognize him.


    Although deities from the Dark Realm, like the Devil, and even the Mystery Saint had acknowledged John''s strength, they were, after all, from opposing factions.


    Without the approval of a deity from his own faction, John''s future actions could have been significantly hindered.


    With the Sea God''s endorsement, John might no longer need to worry about constraints from the Mystery Protector and the Northern Myst Empire.


    As members of the Order Faction, they should respect the Sea God''s decision.


    While John was contemting these matters, Adam and Blue Sea appeared before him.


    Both seemed slightly apologetic, feeling they had failed toplete the quest John had given them, as they were unable to secure the Book of the Astral Realm.


    "Sorry, we couldn''tplete the quest you gave us. We did manage to get hold of the Book of the Astral Realm for a moment, but the Sea God eventually teleported it away. We didn''t know where the Sea God had sent it, and we felt that staying in the Naga tribe would be dangerous, so we decided toe back first to inform you," Adam said, his tone heavy with disappointment and a hint of concern.


    John, already in possession of the Book of the Astral Realm, was not bothered by this news.


    He showed the book to Adam and Blue Sea.


    "Actually, the Sea God directly teleported the Book of the Astral Realm to me. I have received his approval, and now I can use all of his spells. And it''s not just me; you both have earned his approval as well. The Sea God-rted spells you use from now on will certainly be more powerful."


    John then turned his gaze to Blue Sea, remembering the Sea God''s specific message for him.


    "Blue Sea, you''ve been using spells rted to the Sea God, right? Now, you can use even more powerful spells from the Sea God, and with his help, your strength will improve even faster."


    Hearing this, Blue Sea became visibly excited.


    Although his current strength was already top-notch, he felt a significant gap between himself and John, and this new development seemed like a promising opportunity to bridge that gap.


    If Blue Sea could receive assistance from the Sea God, his own strength would undoubtedly improve rapidly.


    "If that''s the case, then it''s really great! I feel that my previous actions couldn''t seed because my strength wasn''t top-


    notch. With the Sea God''s help, my abilities will improve significantly. So, in the uing actions, I''ll definitely be able to provide you with more assistance," Blue Sea said, making John feel quite pleased.


    At least Blue Sea was willing to cooperate with John, unlike other Order Faction NPCs who were reluctant to coborate.


    John''s thoughts were now primarily focused on the Mystery Protector.


    After some contemtion, he straightforwardly told Adam and Blue Sea, "You both take care of your own matters for now. I need to return to the Naga Tribe. I believe many people there are waiting for me."


    Facing John''s words, Adam and Blue Sea didn''t object.


    They both knew that the Naga Queen would likely be very angry.


    If the Naga Queen learned that John had obtained the Book of the Astral Realm, she might even choose to directly oppose him.


    "I think you must be cautious! The Naga Queen is going all out in thepetition for the Book of the Astral Realm. I believe she cares deeply about the ownership of the Book of the Astral Realm," Adam reminded John, though John was well aware of this fact.


    Therefore, John straightforwardly told Adam, "I''m certainly well aware that the Naga Queen is very eager to obtain the Book of the Astral Realm. However, the Book of the Astral Realm is now in my possession. I will absolutely not give this book directly to anyone else, especially since I''ve already provided the Naga Queen with a great deal of assistance. This Book of the Astral Realm is a reward that I rightfully deserve!"
