"Focus the strength of your mind and spirit, to sense the rules within the boundless sea, find the sole light in the ocean, approach that light, and you will break through the defense of spiritual power."

The moment that voice sounded, the dead silent sea, like a hellish surface, suddenly surged violently.

Qin An was like a small boat lost at sea, unable to find direction.

But when the voice rang out, it was like a morning bell and evening drum, resonating with a fierce roar in his heart, instantly clearing his groggy consciousness.

He lifted his head abruptly, suppressing his shock, and asked in his mind, "Who are you?"

At this moment, he was wielding the Annihilation Divine Spear when an extremely unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared; it would be alarming if he wasn’t on guard.

After asking this question, the voice spoke again.

"I am a consciousness, a remnant soul, a person who should have vanished in endless times, but remained here with the Annihilation Divine Spear, awaiting your arrival."

The words carried a profound sense of mystery, deepening Qin An’s frown.

"Who exactly are you? Don’t speak so cryptically, be direct."

At this critical moment, whether he could harness the Annihilation Divine Spear was up to this time.

If he failed to harness it now, all previous plans would dissipate into smoke.

Qin An had to understand the speaker’s identity, only then could he proceed with the next plan.

When Qin An asked again, the voice let out a long sigh before continuing to speak.

"I was a prophet from that distant era, once leading the Celestial Cloud Path Defenders in battle against the betrayers. They called me Sage."

"And through the erosion of time, I have long turned to endless ash, with only a sliver of my soul remaining in the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land."

"I have been waiting for you, waiting for you to awaken the Annihilation Divine Spear."

"Waiting for me to awaken the Annihilation Divine Spear?" Qin An frowned, "Does this mean you knew the Annihilation Divine Spear would be assembled, and that I would come to wield it?"

With the mention of prophecy, Qin An immediately gained a new understanding of this person’s identity and knew who they truly were.

This person, who once led the Defenders, revealed matters about his identity as the Savior.

And it seemed, in that distant era, this person was revered by the Defenders.

Even after countless years, those Defenders still believed in what the prophet said, including the matters of the Savior.

Yet Qin An was puzzled, as the speaker seemed to imply that they always knew he would come to harness the Annihilation Divine Spear.

Could the power of prophecy be so coincidentally powerful?

At least from Qin An’s rise in Ding County to the present, he had never seen anyone capable of foreseeing the future with such accuracy.

After all, the future is filled with merciless variables; even the strongest person cannot encompass everything, let alone control the power of the future.

The voice slowly returned: "The Annihilation Divine Spear was a plan I proposed early on, and after years of brewing and accumulating, assembling the Annihilation Divine Spear was not uncommon."

"And after assembling the Annihilation Divine Spear, I also calculated that only you could wield it, which is why I left a remnant soul in the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land beforehand."

"I have persisted in the Celestial Cloud Forbidden Land, minimizing the consumption of my power to the extreme, precisely for this moment."

"If you had come to wield the Annihilation Divine Spear any later, my remnant soul would have disappeared completely, and you would not have seen me."

Upon hearing this, Qin An showed a look of realization and said, "I see."

If explained this way, everything could make sense.

The plan for the Annihilation Divine Spear was originally devised by this person known as Sage, so it seemed natural for them to create a plan tailored for the Savior.

And that they possessed the ability to foresee within a certain range, calculating that he would come to wield the Annihilation Divine Spear, was not surprising at all.

He pondered for a moment and said, "How should I break through the obstacle of spiritual power? You just told me to search for the light in this vast, dark ocean; how should I find this light?"

The method offered by this voice seemed so mystical, it left Qin An baffled.

But since the voice was present, he needed to get clear answers.

The voice’s owner paused briefly, then spoke again: "Deep within the sea, in the depths of the dark ocean, lies the only spark of life. It is a force that can shock the soul, and it is the only way out I left within the Annihilation Divine Spear."

"However, to reach the depths of this ocean, it takes time and also requires resisting the danger of the sea’s encroaching spiritual erosion. The closer you get to the ocean depths, the greater the danger will be. I will assist you."

At this point, the voice paused slightly before continuing.

"Just keep diving, I will transform into a force, repelling most of the spiritual power, but a small portion will still enter your body and affect you, so the rest will depend on you."

Qin An heard these words and fell into silence.

As if to give Qin An time to think, the voice said nothing more.

A moment later, Qin An lifted his head and concisely replied, "Okay."

After thinking for a while, he decided to do as the voice suggested.
