With the giant turtle’s shell, accommodating these hundreds of divine trees was a breeze.

Aside from the towering towers, magical spires, barracks, and other buildings, Ji Chen estimated that he could transplant tens of thousands more onto the turtle’s shell, provided there were enough divine trees available for transplantation.

Ji Chen even had a bold idea: to surround the New Moon Islands with these divine trees, utilizing their curse-inducing properties to form a natural barrier.

He couldn’t wait to see who would dare invade the Crown of the Ocean with such a terrifying curse-laden circle of trees in place!

About five hundred divine trees were transplanted one by one. The once neatly arranged island now bore numerous holes left by the dug-up trees, making it look as unsightly as pockmarks on a face.

Ji Chen gazed at the sizable grove of divine trees on the turtle’s back, nodding with satisfaction.

With a sweep of his hand, he declared, “Let’s continue onward!”

Feeling almost no change in the weight on its back, the giant turtle started to move upon hearing Ji Chen’s command. After turning around, it began to swim deeper into the Sea of Death.

However, the further they ventured, the more something felt amiss.

The silent sea surface rippled slightly, surrounded by utter silence with no sign of any living creatures.

“It’s too quiet,” the giant turtle rumbled. “We’ve passed through several marine warlords’ territories, but we haven’t even encountered a patrol, which doesn’t make sense.

In the past, they were very territorial. Once they detected other warlords’ troops crossing their borders, they would send out large numbers of troops to counterattack, often resulting in thousands of casualties. So why is it so peaceful now?”

Ji Chen furrowed his brow slightly. Indeed, the journey had been too quiet. They hadn’t encountered even a single living marine creature.

Could something have happened?

At that moment, Patheia, who had been scouting the sky, swiftly descended. As she approached the ground, her pure white wings suddenly spread out behind her, countering the impact of her descent. With a graceful twist, she landed smoothly.

Ji Chen’s eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

“Not bad, very skillful.”

Upon hearing his words, Patheia, who had already become a qualified warrior after experiencing numerous battles since leaving the Floating Island, blushed at once.

“It’s… it’s all thanks to your guidance, My Lord!”

Seeing Patheia, who had instantly shed her image as a resolute female warrior and was blushing profusely, Ji Chen couldn’t help but smile.

“I can’t teach you to fly without wings… Right, did you find anything?”

Turning to business, Patheia regained her composure and said seriously, “Just now, I spotted what seems to be two armies fighting in the northwest direction.”

“Fighting?”

“It looks like there’s quite a number on both sides, probably totaling four or five thousand.”

Ji Chen nodded and didn’t hesitate.

“Giant turtle, let’s head northwest.”

“Understood.”

The massive “island” immediately changed direction, moving faster than before.

Soon, everyone saw the two armies fighting. One was composed of shrimp people, while the other consisted of crab people.

They seemed unaware of an approaching “island” and remained focused on their adversaries ahead.

“For the glory of our lord, kill the enemy!!”

“Hail Lord Marxsan!!”

The two armies, guided by different beliefs, continued to charge forward under the command of their respective leaders.

It wasn’t until the “island” grew larger and clearer that they realized something was amiss.

“Look, what the heck is that!?”

Boom!

The giant turtle’s massive body rose up, causing a deluge of seawater to cascade down.

Thousands of marine troops were thrown off balance, staggering and looking extremely terrified.

It wasn’t an island but a gigantic turtle with no end in sight!

At that moment, a figure leaped from the turtle’s back. As it was about to hit the sea surface, its speed slowed down as if losing gravity, landing on the water like a falling leaf.

There was no trace of disturbance in the water, not even a splash.

This astonished them.

What kind of power was this?

Ji Chen scanned the marine troops, who had stopped fighting under the intimidation of the giant turtle, and walked over to them.

He said calmly, “Bring out your leaders.”

Realizing that this was an extraordinary individual, the leaders of the two armies quickly emerged from their ranks and approached him, showing reverence and awe.

“Sir, may I ask what brings you here?” the shrimp person leader asked respectfully.

Ji Chen surveyed the shrimp and crab leaders, noticing the reverence and awe in their eyes, but their expressions suggested that they were not seeing humans for the first time.

Could it be that there were other humans in the Sea of Death?

Curiosity arose in his mind as he inquired, “Are there humans here in the Sea of Death?”

Upon hearing this, the shrimp leader and crab leader quickly realized that Ji Chen was from the outside world. The shrimp leader hurriedly replied, “Sir, every year, some humans, elves, and other races from the outside world accidentally enter the Sea of Death, so we aren’t too surprised to see you.”

The shrimp leader quickly added, “Most of those humans and elves who have strayed into our territory have gathered on a group of islands to the north of this sea. They have established their own settlements… It’s not far from the Ocean God’s Shrine. If there are any disturbances there, it’s likely to affect them too.”

Ocean God’s Shrine?

Ji Chen squinted his eyes. It sounded like what the giant turtle had mentioned, the name of the artifact left behind by the Ocean God..
