Netherworld Retrograde

They could feel the danger of that sea beast. If the fleet were damaged, it would be troublesome.

But Stab just laughed and said, "No matter, this guy recognizes us, we're approaching its territory. If we don't attack it, there won't be any trouble."

"So this is a sea beast?" Li Yelai was quite amazed.

The largest extraordinary creature he had ever seen was the Mountain Dragon, which he had tricked to death.

Its size was already terrifying; including the massive tail, the Mountain Dragon was over two kilometers long, like a gigantic land crocodile.

The sea beast just now, although not as long as the Mountain Dragon, had a more rounded body.

It's a pity, its size was too large to fit into the reserve space.

Otherwise, riding this mount to sweep away enemies would definitely be exhilarating.

Currently, the corpse of the World-Annihilating Dragon is in the reserve space, but Li Yelai has not yet advanced to Overlord, riding it is too risky.

Capturing a sea beast to play with is also quite nice, it's really a shame.

"Yes, sir. You cannot trust any islands appearing on the sea surface; they are very likely disguises of some sea beasts," Stab responded, "This situation is not uncommon at sea. Therefore, going to sea must require accurate nautical charts, determining each sea beast's activity domain. If you need, I will send it to your room later."

"Alright. In the future, I can go to sea on my own," Li Yelai nodded, "I have yet to swim freely in the sea."

In terms of the ocean, the Eternal Life Faction indeed has more authority.

With their nautical charts, humans can go to sea more safely. Support troops can also be faster, even aid Chu He and the others.

"Ha, I wonder what punishment those Forbidden Zone Nobles without nautical charts will suffer," Li Yelai thought.

Meanwhile.

Several kilometers away, the strong figures from the Forbidden Zone of the Sea of Time were cursing openly.

Coming from the inland forbidden zone, they naturally knew little about the sea area. The acquired human merchant convoy had never set foot in this domain.

As a result, when they dispatched part of the team to investigate the island ahead, they lost quite a few men.

The enormous shell suddenly closed from beneath the sea surface, directly engulfing the nearby escort ship, swallowing dozens of the Forbidden Zone Human strongmen.

No matter how those Forbidden Zone humans attacked inside, unleashed abilities, and went full firepower, they still couldn't prevent that enormous sea oyster from sinking back into the sea.

Though the losses weren't much, and were all lowly Forbidden Zone Humans, these types of humans were everywhere in the forbidden zone.

But losing personnel even before finding an opportunity nonetheless infuriated them.

Especially when seeing the fleet from Forbidden Area·Mirror Domain remaining unharmed in the distance.

The Nobles of the Sea of Time were even angrier.

"Stick with them, if they don't move, we won't either! Let's see if they'll suffer losses!" one noble roared.

The other Forbidden Zone creatures felt quite helpless. This Lord was undoubtedly too hot-tempered.

The one who didn't want to cooperate with Mirror Domain was him, and the one who was angry about personnel loss was also him.

"Alright, before snatching the opportunity, we should be enemies with them. Furthermore, before humans are defeated, we don't have direct interest conflicts with them," another noble spoke.

Perhaps due to a higher status, the hot-tempered Forbidden Zone creature quieted down a bit: "Well, we brought the Hourglass of Time. We can summon the hounds at any time. Let them boast for a while..."

On the other side.

Among the Mirror Domain fleet, looking at the casualties of another fleet, the nobles from Mirror Domain shook their heads slightly: "Reckless, too reckless. Can such enemies compete with us for an opportunity?"

"Don't underestimate, the Sea of Time is a very dangerous forbidden zone. The creatures stepping into it will be devoured by the years, have their time drained away. Time flowing like sand through fingertips is the origin of the name of this forbidden zone... Creatures emerging from such zones won't be easy to deal with."

"Such a forbidden zone, going against the Old Mad King is the best. Directly make him die of old age!"

Another noble from Mirror Domain spoke: "To be safe, we must keep some cards to deal with them. They can manipulate time, we can record and replicate Calamity..."

"Don't just think about internal strife, nor devouring the opportunity alone. Being too greedy is dangerous. This sea area, close to the Throat of Gui Xu, also has Chaos Faction activities."

Afterwards, the speaker looked at the Forbidden Zone Human in the corner.

She was a female Forbidden Zone Human, her body altered due to the erosion of restricted area order.

She had human contours, slender limbs, a fine neck, but parts of her skin crystallized, as if mercury flowed.

Her pupils were no longer circular but shattered, irregular rhombuses, like broken mirror fragments forcibly pieced together.

This Forbidden Zone Human bore part of the Forbidden Zone Bloodline, and her eyes were the perfect evidence.

"Child, can you see?" The Forbidden Zone creature treated her quite kindly.

Though a lowly Forbidden Zone Human, she inherited a noble's bloodline and had a high compatibility with Taboo Items, gaining a strong and rare foretelling ability.

She was crucial in finding the opportunity!

"Yes, sir..." Mirror fragments rotated within her eyes: "I can see...unerasable residual phantoms, anger not dimmed even by death, and that all-enveloping Black Shadow. That's...technology we can't comprehend."

"Seems it's close," nodded the Mirror Domain noble with a smile, "This legacy will be preempted by us. Why awaken? We will showcase the brilliance of Lin Cang!"

Meanwhile, the walkers covertly guiding them were looking indifferently at their ships, then disappearing into the clouds.

Simultaneously, beneath the water surface, the sea beasts hired by the Eternal Life Faction, after witnessing it all, vanished into the water as well.

...

That night, Li Yelai obtained the nautical charts.

Additionally, two tall, beautiful female believers.

They were holding the massive charts, standing respectfully at Li Yelai's door.

Their clothes were pitifully scanty, anyone would think they were fleeing famines. The thin, translucent red veils could scarcely cover their figures, and their long legs were especially prominent under the light.

They seemed eager to help Lord Di Yun understand the details of the charts.

"Are you Eternal Life Faction folks too poor to afford clothes?" Li Yelai groaned, gesturing for them to leave the charts.

After closing the door.

Li Yelai reflected: "Why do I feel like those two looked somewhat familiar?"

Little Mad King emerged from the shadows, pondering momentarily, then nodding slightly: "Indeed, their figures and outfits are somewhat similar to how I once disguised myself."

Previously, Little Mad King had disguised as a Divine Chosen Maid.

And the initial outfit when she approached Li Yelai for 'selection' seemed similarly...revealing.

This led the Church to mistakenly believe Li Yelai preferred this type. To appease him, they specially brought similarly shaped, attractive believers, dressing them in the same attire.

This made Li Yelai slightly awkward—what is going on? The person involved is right here.

Little Mad King remained indifferent as always.

Li Yelai suppressed the idea of lecturing, looking at the chart.

After they traced a copy of the chart.

Li Yelai immediately conveyed this information via the ark.

...

In the following days.

Both forbidden zone fleets had sustained damage while crossing the ocean, even engaging in battles with sea beasts at some points.

Eventually, half a day ago, they halted their advance, hovering within a certain sea area.

That sea area indeed was southeast of No.1 Border City.

According to intelligence from the Book Holder, it should be the opportunity area.

But oddly, there was neither any island, just bare sea surface.

Could it be underwater? But the Chaos believers diving under had brought no effective intel.

Although the Chaos Faction was puzzled, they no longer hid.

Instead, they appeared in the Forbidden Zone fleets' view.

At this point, if the Eternal Life Church was yet unaware of them, it would be too fake.

And when the colossal bio-fleet of the Eternal Life Faction emerged, an arrogant signal spread across the sea.

The mighty Emperor's Fall Chosen One ordered them to surrender!

Countless gun barrels lifted, numerous warplanes circled. Spiritual Energy fluctuation surged.

The fervent believers eagerly desired slaughter.

Yet both fleets simultaneously dispatched signals.

"Mighty Emperor's Fall Chosen One, we can achieve collaboration."

"Only we can unlock the opportunity."
