The so-called "New Plane," to be precise, was the narrow "Search Triangle" formed by the Deep Blue World at the center of the Pacific Ocean and the two cities of Di City and Sandalwood City, which stood at opposing corners.

After all, no one had any concrete proof of where the "New Plane" actually was, whether it truly was, as rumors claimed, an "attached plane" of the Deep Blue World, or whether Extraordinary Species had already entered it to explore...

"There are many people and many troubles, but everyone's attention is on the sea, so things are alright here." Madam Harold put it rather tactfully, though perhaps with a trace of mockery.

Yin Le provided the specific figures. "According to the information we've received, the route from Di City to the entrance of the Deep Blue World spans three thousand kilometers and nearly eight million square kilometers of ocean. At least twenty Extraordinary Species are currently involved. The Star Alliance Committee has dispatched sixty naval vessels and twenty Aerospace Force airships as search forces, with more than twenty thousand personnel participating. They've spared no expense. The 'civilian personnel' recruited through bounties and calls for volunteers will be no fewer than that number—in fact, that's already down from last month's peak."

Madam Harold smiled. "After all, the so-called 'traces of Gong Qi' were only a fleeting glimpse. Still, just one dubious clue was enough to shift the search focus from the West Pacific Ocean to the South Pacific Ocean, spanning seven or eight thousand kilometers. That's rather astonishing."

"After all, it's the 'New Plane.'"

"Yes, limitless wealth and power."
