In a sense, the Undersea Forbidden Zone is both the most dangerous and the safest area Universe Sea the entire Universe Sea.
Because those who enter this area are at least at the Peak-rank God Combat Strength, Half-Step True God are everywhere. Even true gods who are rarely seen in other parts of the Universe Sea are frequent visitors to this area.
The reason this place is considered the most dangerous area in the entire Universe Sea is because everyone here possesses extraordinary Combat Strength. You might accidentally provoke a powerful being whose Combat Strength surpasses your own while strolling around on any planet, or even a core member of some faction.
The reason this area is considered the safest in the entire Universe Sea is because it houses the headquarters of all Universe Sea powers and is governed by numerous rules. While there are a fair number of Interstellar Pirate, acts of armed robbery are rare.
In short, as long as you have sufficient Combat Strength, you can thrive in this region. This is because various forces will try to win you over, and none of them dare to offend you.
However, if one lacks sufficient strength, then one can only act humbly and discreetly, otherwise one might inadvertently bring about one's own demise.
The Gu Ding Pirate Crew has an average Combat Strength that has reached the level of Middle Sequence True God, making them quite formidable in the Undersea Forbidden Zone.
The true gods who reside in the Undersea Forbidden Zone are mostly Elementary Sequence true gods with weak Combat Strength, lacking the ability to enter the Great Universe Sea to wage war.
The number of Middle Sequence True God is very small, and as for Advanced Sequence, they rarely appear. Even if they do appear, they are probably just passing through or taking a temporary break.
The fact that the Gu Ding Pirate Crew had entered the Undersea Forbidden Zone was quickly revealed.
After entering the Undersea Forbidden Zone, they made a stop once to purchase supplies. That stop was also photographed.
The existence of the Sea Emperor was also exposed because of this revelation.
The Gu Ding Pirate Crew's black warship was renamed "Dream" by Gu Ding and his group. Inside the Dream, Gu Ding and his crew sat in a circle.
The Sea Emperor extended a finger and projected hundreds of news articles onto the screen.
The most-read news article was titled "Gu Ding Pirate Crew Gains Another Mysterious New Member." The image also highlighted Sea Emperor, who was with Gu Ding's group, with a red circle.
After reading these news reports, Gu Ding and his group did not feel worried at all.
Because all the media outlets seemed to believe that Sea Emperor was a new member of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, they even tried every means to find out about Sea Emperor's past, but found nothing, so they put forward all sorts of strange speculations.
Some say that Sea Emperor might have been the son of a wealthy family who was kidnapped by the Gu Ding Pirate Crew and used to extort a huge ransom. He wasn't a true member of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.
Some say that the Sea Emperor is a member of a hermit family and possesses extraordinary Combat Strength.
Some say that Sea Emperor was secretly trained by a powerful Assassin Family, which is why no information about him can be found.
When Gu Ding and his friends first heard the overwhelming news about the Sea Emperor, they were worried that Sea Emperor true identity might be exposed. After reading the news, they realized there was no need for such concern. The various strange fabrications in the news reports actually served to better conceal the Sea Emperor's true identity.
Even Sea Emperor himself found it somewhat amusing after reading it.
"Alright, enough with the news, let's get down to business." Sea Emperor switched the news feed to a 3D star map.
He held a thin metal rod in his hand and pointed to a location on the star map. "This is where we are now. This star system is called the Qi Ke Star Region. At the current speed of the spaceship, we will arrive at our last stop in the human Universe Sea tomorrow— the East Star Region."
As Sea Emperor spoke, he pointed to another location, which was quickly zoomed in on, and then the camera focused on one of the planets.
"This one is Bis, the Biss Star in the East Star Region, and also our last supply point. Therefore, we will stay a little longer, tentatively for three days. If there are any special circumstances, we will adjust accordingly."
"Is there anything special about this planet?" Gu Ding couldn't help but ask.
"Biss Star, meaning a peaceful planet far from war. Legend has it that in ancient times, the original inhabitants of this planet were a group of Bi Si Race, known for their loyalty and never engaging in conflict with other tribes. Then one day, this tribe was destroyed in war, completely wiped out. Many years later, a peace-loving ruler came to power. Upon learning of this, he changed the planet's name to Biss Star, also to commemorate that peace-loving race." The Sea Emperor recounted the story.
"Over the years that followed, this story spread, and the planet became famous as a result. Later, many powerful individuals chose to linger on this planet before leaving the human Universe Sea, partly for a good reason: to avoid encountering bad things on their journey. Over time, the planet became prosperous, and the number of powerful individuals coming and going increased."
"In other words, this planet will have a full range of resources..." Miko knew that after all that the Sea Emperor had said, this was the final conclusion.
Because the consumption of various resources is enormous during long journeys, finding a source with abundant supplies is crucial. Otherwise, there's a possibility of having to travel to other planets to purchase essential items again, which would be a huge waste of time.
"Alright then, let's go to this planet!" Gu Ding immediately made the decision.
"The reason I'm bringing this up now is so that everyone can make a shopping list a day in advance, instead of waiting until later and potentially forgetting something. If you plan ahead, you can start shopping as soon as you arrive and have breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Furthermore, after leaving Biss Star and before entering the Great Universe Sea, we will pass through a Reverse Current Space. In the Reverse Current Space, we can only use the normal navigation mode, and at our spaceship's speed, it will take about three months to get out. Therefore, this time we must purchase enough supplies, especially a large stockpile of spare Energy Crystal for the spaceship... We cannot predict what kind of changes will occur in the Reverse Current Space, so we must be fully equipped for the spaceship's combat mode."
The Sea Emperor spoke these words with a serious expression, looking every bit like a little adult.
Gu Ding and the others listened attentively. Even Liliath, who had been most fond of teasing the Sea Emperor these past few days, sat upright and listened without interrupting. Their long journey had taught them that sometimes the road was not smooth, so thorough preparation was essential. (A fantastic event with amazing prizes! Win a cool phone!
