[The Voice of the World]
Quest Quality: Legendary
Mission Description: The Siren Empire's mermaid princess Beiluo, wants to hear the voices of the world, but she has no one to help her collect them, so she wants to ask you for help.
Mission Reward: Enter the Siren Empire's treasury and choose a legendary item.
"Collecting sounds? This task doesn't even have a hint, how am I supposed to do it?"
Su Xi looked at the task sent by Yan Hu with a puzzled expression.
Yan Hu chuckled and said, "We've only received the mission from the Adventurer's Guild yet, and we don't know exactly how to do it. For now, we think we should try to contact this mermaid princess first."
Su Xi said, "So you haven't had any contact with the NPCs yet."
Since that was the case, Su Xi went to the meeting point, joined the mission team, and went to find Beiluo.
Yan Hu was not in the team; he had to kill those active monsters, so he couldn't spare the time to participate in the mission with Su Xi. This time, Su Xi was accompanied only by three ordinary players from the Huaxia Guild Alliance.
Two women and one man.
When the three of them saw Su Xi actually appear in front of them, they were all very excited.
"Your Highness Su, Your Highness Su, may I shake your hand?"
"Can I hug you? If not, it's fine with me."
"Um... I'd like to take a photo with His Your Highness Su, is that alright...?"
Su Xi had gotten used to the enthusiasm of the players. After all, wherever she went, she was greeted with cheers. She had to get used to it.
Although there were some who disapproved or were jealous, those people were generally not in the Huaxia Guild Alliance, so most of the people Su Xi encountered were fans who liked her.
He smiled helplessly and agreed to their request.
"Then, please introduce yourselves first."
"I am Qing Yuan, and my profession is a mage..."
"I am..."
After briefly learning about their situation, Su Xi said, "Let's go find the NPC to learn about the mission and see how to complete it."
The three nodded in agreement, saying that whatever His Your Highness Su said was fine.
His Your Highness Su must have many things to attend to, so the three of them should not delay. They led His Your Highness Su into the Siren Palace (the underwater palace of the Siren Empire) to find Beiluo.
The palace of the underwater tribe.
It's beautiful. The colorful coral structures and pearly white seashells reflect each other, creating a dazzling display of colors. Combined with the shimmering sunlight on the water's surface, it transforms the place into a dreamlike underwater world.
Many races come and go from the Siren Palace, not just mermaids. Therefore, a waterproof membrane is specially installed to keep the seawater out of the palace, allowing other races to breathe normally here.
Having memories of her past life, Su Xi knew the way to the Siren Palace, but she lacked reputation. The players in front of her had all raised their reputation to over 100,000, so with their guidance, it would be much easier to meet Beiluo.
Siren Palace.
Su Xi followed the three into the dazzling palace, passing through winding thresholds and countless patrolling naval forces, until she arrived at the courtyard of the Third Princess.
Because of the abduction of the Third Princess, Emperor Beiyanqing was very sensitive to the security of the palace, and the naval patrols became much more stringent. If it weren't for the fact that they had just accepted the Princess's mission, Su Xi felt that even with all their reputation points, it wouldn't have been easy for them to get in.
At this time.
His Majesty Beiyanqing happened to be in the Third Princess's palace. The little princess was making a fuss about going out to play, and he was trying to appease her. Su Xi and the others happened to come over and witnessed this scene.
Both His Majesty Beiyanqing and Princess Beiluo turned to look at them.
Compared to the other three players, His Majesty Beiyanqing's gaze was fixed on Su Xi.
"The Holy Maiden of the Elf race?"
A thought flashed through His Majesty Beiyanqing's mind, and his gaze toward her took on a strange meaning.
Su Xi thought that this emperor would not recognize her, after all, the Elven Empire and the Siren Empire were quite far apart, unlike the Beastman Empire, which was a neighboring country of the Elf race Empire.
Seeing that someone had come looking for her and she couldn't get a chance to go out and play, the princess glared at her father in annoyance before turning to Su Xi and the others, asking, "Are you the adventurers who received the mission?"
Qing Yuan stepped forward and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
"Wait a moment, I'll go get some things for you."
Princess Beiluo ran off to the treasure vault and started rummaging through everything.
As soon as the princess left, the group felt uneasy, as His Majesty Beiyanqing's gaze was fixed on them.
A moment later.
Princess Beiluo brought over several white conch shells.
"Here, this is a small conch shell that can collect sounds. I've already collected the sounds of the ocean, storms, thunder, and more... but I'm still missing the sounds of the earth, life, ice, and snow..."
Take the small conch shell.
The above lists the collection methods noted by Princess Beiluo.
For example, the sounds of the earth can be collected in empty valleys, during animal migrations, and during earthquakes.
The sounds of life include the blooming and fading of flowers, the growth and falling of leaves, the calls of animals, and the chatter of people in the bustling city.
Collecting them isn't difficult, especially since there's a progress bar on the little seashells.
However, it takes a lot of time, since finding these places is not an easy task.
After leaving the Siren Palace, the group discussed the strange thing about His Majesty Beiyanqing, why he kept staring at them.
"He seems to be staring at His Your Highness Su..."
"Hey, does Your Highness Su know that NPC?"
Su Xi shook her head. "I don't know him... I only saw him once when he went to kill the demigod boss of the Shadow Empire."
The group couldn't figure it out either, so they assumed that His Majesty of the Siren Empire might have recognized Princess Your Highness Su, the Elf Saintess, and was curious about her. After that, they began to discuss the details of the mission.
A few days later.
Under pressure, the Silver Vortex Court opened the trial court between the disaster-stricken civilization and the Myriad Stars Society ahead of schedule to resolve the conflict between the two sides.
Normally, this court wouldn't open so quickly according to procedure, but there's no other way. It's being handled as a special case. Otherwise, there would always be so many people at the Silver Vortex Center, which would be very disruptive.
The opening of the trial court directly overshadowed the public relations efforts of the Myriad Stars Society, which seemed to be a fuse.
Members of the Myriad Stars Society have frequently persecuted other civilizations through their organizations, but the circumstances have always been against them, and the other civilizations have dared not resist.
Now, finally someone has stood up to resist, giving some courage to the other civilizations that are still hesitating.
During this trial, a few top civilizations were speculating whether a war might break out if the Silver Vortex Center wasn't handled properly.
Azure Star Cluster: "If war comes, we wouldn't mind stepping on it. The trashy Myriad Stars Society, unable to invite us to join, resorts to all sorts of ways to annoy us."
Dark Star Domain: "Interesting. We look forward to death."
Titan Star Domain: "Can we fight now?"
The major star systems began discussing what was happening within the Silver Spiral, and all anticipated the arrival of war.
Since the only target of this attack Myriad Stars Society, everyone is willing to kick Myriad Stars Society they're down.
Myriad Stars Society Centralized Power Center
The three founding leaders gathered here in their physical forms for the first time. They usually communicate through telepathy or projection, but today they came out because they were going to the Silver Vortex Court together.
All three showed varying degrees of irritation on their faces.
First, those damned low-level civilizations are so united and have made such a big fuss about it.
Secondly, the Silver Vortex Enforcement Team's Captain General Kexia, has recently gone mad for some unknown reason, arresting a large number of them, to the point that in an emergency, there was no one available.
Temporary hires who are not very familiar with the work will only make things worse.
Gan Yuan Leader roared, "Damn it, Kexia! Hasn't she always refused to manage the Law Enforcement Team? This time she actually led the Law Enforcement Team to seize our properties everywhere! Is she out of her mind?!"
The Star Eclipse Leader sighed, "The prison at the Law Enforcement Team headquarters is probably full of our people right now..."
Gan Yuan Leader continued his tirade, "And those lower-level civilizations, if our industries hadn't spread across the entire starry sky, would they have so easily acquired all these technologies to develop themselves? They've only obtained some uncertain information, yet they're already suing us—what ingrates! If they're so capable, they should go dig open the Lord of Calamity's head and take out the monitoring devices inside!"
The Star Eclipse Leader sighed again, "Stop cursing. What's the use of cursing now? The Starry Sky Network issue isn't resolved yet, and now there's the court matter. And now a few low-level members are saying that a black dragon has appeared and is devouring their civilization."
Gan Yuan Leader was taken aback. "What black dragon? Aren't the four Lord of Calamity still in their respective star systems?"
Star Eclipse Leader: "Hmm... now a fifth one has appeared. Although we haven't captured any specific images yet, it should be the one we lost back then."
The Gan Yuan Leader was dumbfounded. "Didn't the Law Enforcement Team take that Gene Capsule? How could Kexia, as Star Lord Lifeform, allow something that pollutes their life information to be born?"
The Star Eclipse Leader shook his head and said, "In fact, our informants have never found where the Gene Capsule was hidden by Kexia. Although Kexia has never denied our accusations, it is still unknown whether Kexia took the Gene Capsule."
Gan Yuan Leader lowered his head in deep thought, "Could this incident be related to Kexia?"
The Star Eclipse Leader shook his head uncertainly, then turned to the Yu Qing Leader, asking curiously, "Why aren't you saying anything today..."
"... I have a strange feeling about what's been happening lately. Everything is too coincidental. Our God has once again entered the atomic world to observe the patterns of vibrations at the microscopic level... All the problems we're facing now point to a giant tree."
"So I took some time to visit the Mori Star Cluster, but I still couldn't get in or observe what was happening inside. I also didn't find any trace of information or communication with the starry sky from the Mori Star Cluster."
"Whether it's the public opinion on the Starry Sky Network, the lawsuit in the Silver Vortex Court, or the black dragon devouring our low-level members of the Myriad Stars Society, none of them are the real enemies..."
Gan Yuan Leader: "So, have you found the real enemy yet?"
The Yu Qing Leader silently shook his head.
In the Azure Star Cluster, Ludoya, the Sea Star Lord, listens to her subordinates' reports on recent events in the celestial sphere.
The sudden appearance of the Lord of Calamity has caused great concern among everyone, especially since testing of the fragments that fell from the Lord of Calamity revealed that the monster's body contained both Star Lord Gene and Energy Devourer genes.
Either of these is extremely troublesome; however, now a life form has emerged that combines these two genes.
They had to pay attention and conduct research.
In fact, the Azure Star Cluster initially suspected the Myriad Stars Society, but since there was no evidence to prove that they were responsible, they did not express any opinion.
The evidence is out now, but it's not quite convincing enough. Ludoya believes that the genetic research report alone is insufficient.
Given the capabilities of the Myriad Stars Society, they could save themselves at any time by sacrificing the lives of researchers whose names appear in the reports.
More compelling evidence is needed to cripple the other party completely.
At the same time, chaos gradually emerged in the starry sky, with many conflicts being exposed when the Myriad Stars Society was sued in the Silver Vortex Court.
However chaotic the starry sky may be, Ludoya felt that her star clusters could handle it.
This is all thanks to the idiots of the Myriad Stars Society. When they failed to invite the Azure Star Cluster to join their organization, they began to block their logistics channels and secretly restricted trade between other civilizations and them, forcing them to become self-sufficient.
While Ludoya was still pondering, she suddenly sensed something and subconsciously looked up at the sky. Through the endless starry sky, she saw a planet that was seventy percent blue, and then through the appearance of the planet, she saw another world.
Finally, I saw a mermaid singing.
Soon, Ludoya back to reality as her vision returned.
"The Siren Race has been stranded outside the Azure Star Cluster?" Ludoya muttered to herself in confusion.
Based on her own feeling, Ludoya felt that she and the other person were very far apart, at least tens of thousands of light-years apart.
She thought back for a moment, wondering if the Azure Star Cluster had ever driven its people to such a distant place in the past tens of thousands of years.
The fact that the other party can hum the sounds of the world proves the purity of their bloodline.
Moreover, this vision was shown to her by the Siren Race Will of God, meaning that she should bring the other party back.
Before Ludoya could think any further...
She instantly sensed the departure of the Siren Race' Will God.
Ludoya:?
No, leaving just as this chaos is about to begin? Is that little mermaid really that important? Is it worth you going there in person?
Ludoya couldn't hold back any longer.
Although she was somewhat concerned about why there would be Siren Royal Family scattered in such a distant place, the departure of the god of racial will made her restless.
The God of Racial Will is the ultimate trump card of a civilized race. Such a trump card actually left the civilized star field He favored because of a little mermaid!
