Lu Ban had already gotten somewhat used to being vomited out again from that cramped but warm spot.

However, this time he immediately felt the icy seawater.

The water immediately poured into his nose and mouth, carrying a foul smell, and seeped into his lungs, causing the organs to swell.

Several cuts immediately appeared on Lu Ban's neck, opening and closing like the gills of a shark, sucking in water and extracting what kept his body functioning.

It was only then that he realized there was no oxygen in the seawater.

It also lacked the elements he was familiar with, and the water wasn't even H2O, but rather a semi-transparent liquid with a higher viscosity.

However, there are indeed some things in this water that can sustain normal life, and these may be the oxygen of this world.

He gradually sank, and due to the density, the water pressure here was greater, making Lu Ban feel his body being squeezed.

Beside her, slippery tentacles emerged from beneath Feng Yu's clothes, maintaining her depth and preventing her from sinking.

"Help!"

Lu Ban called out, his voice echoing through the viscous seawater, his tone becoming strange.

Feng Yu reached out, grabbed Lu Ban, and lifted him up.

"Can't you swim?"

Feng Yu asked.

"The water here is a bit difficult to swim in."

Lu Ban spoke the truth.

He could actually just sink down and walk on the seabed, but he doesn't know how deep the Deep Sea is here.

"Is this the Deep Sea?"

Lu Ban looked up and, according to common sense, there should be some light shining down from above the ocean. On Earth, such light has also formed different ecological layers.

But here, it was pitch black above.

In the Deep Sea sea, there is darkness all around you, above, below, left, and right.

The only thing that could be called a light source was certain planktonic organisms.

These planktonic organisms emit bioluminescence, illuminating the surroundings and stretching for thousands of meters, making the area less dark.

If Lu Ban had claustrophobia or Deep Sea, he would definitely be suffocating by now.

Oh, he's already suffocating, then it's alright.

"The Deep Sea is like this. There is no surface water in this area. Tide Caller once tried to explore its boundaries, but they all died halfway. Later, the Tide Caller used their extraordinary powers to explore and discovered that the ocean in this world has no boundaries, or rather, it is like the universe. Even if it has boundaries, the Tide Caller cannot reach them with their current level."

Feng Yu offered an explanation.

"And what about the level of civilization development of those Little Fishmen?"

Lu Ban was being pulled along in the water by Feng Yu, and then asked a question.

"Because the Deep Sea is so vast, several Tide Caller empires have formed. They are distinguished by the gods they worship, but regardless of which one they are, they all worship a powerful Great Old Ones. Legend has it that the Old Ones controls the ocean, dreams, and all imagination. In the legends of the Tide Caller, this sea area was created by the dream of that god. When the time comes, that god will awaken and lead the Tide Caller to the glorious other side."

Feng Yu replied, while simultaneously observing some ferocious fish devouring the luminous plankton. Due to their long-term consumption of such organisms, the plankton themselves also emitted a glow.

"You should have collected almost everything by now, right?"

With approximately 60,000 to 70,000 Eye Demon, Lu Ban's fear and screams should have been completed long ago.

"Indeed, but since we're already here, we should leave something behind."

Lu Ban replied.

"."

Feng Yu declined to comment.

Where is the nearest Tide Caller Empire?

Lu Ban thought for a moment. Since he didn't need to collect so many fears and screams, he could focus on collecting Tide Caller this time.

Since gathering many people from Fog City in Fog City, Lu Ban has discovered that his [Weird Amusement Park] is evolving at a rapid pace.

After devouring many Eye Demon, [Weird Amusement Park] even evolved new attractions.

During the grand parade, there's a chance to encounter a four-eyed Eye Demon as an Easter egg. A new 3D cinema has been built, where you can see how the Eye Demon's City of Dusk has fallen into ruin—exciting, thrilling, and a 4D experience.

The people of Chongqing not only improved the Roller Coaster experience, turning it into a sky roller coaster, but also added the ability to control the weather.

So Lu Ban wondered if adding some more Little Fishmen would unlock the aquarium.

"It's about a five-day journey from here. The Tide Caller live scattered around. They call it an empire, but by human standards, it's more like a slave society. Most of the Tide Caller have to hunt other fish to survive."

At this point, Feng Yu glanced at Lu Ban.

"What kind of mischievous idea do you have this time?"

She now thinks that if Lu Ban is an evil god, he must be one who prioritizes fun over survival, and might even kill himself in his pursuit of amusement.

"No, no, I'm just planning to put an Amusement Park here and then wait for the fish to go into the cage."

Lu Ban is very honest.

Now that the requirements have been met, and he's not some bad person who enjoys seeing others suffer, he can easily go home after catching a few fish.

Over several days, the two approached one of the empires. Lu Ban abandoned the Amusement Park and then immediately moved away.

"The fish here doesn't taste very good; it's too dry."

Along the way, we also ate all sorts of fish.

But perhaps due to the water quality, the fish didn't taste very good; maybe only Xiya would find them delicious.

Waiting to the side, Lu Ban and Feng Yu originally wanted to explore this exotic land to prepare for future missions.

But soon, the two encountered trouble.

"Something is following us, about a few nautical miles away."

On the seabed, sound is a better means of observation than sight, and Lu Ban heard the sounds in the water.

"This thing has been following us for several days, always keeping a certain distance. It's clearly tracking us."

"You may really be facing divine punishment."

Feng Yu thought about it and made some guesses.

Meanwhile, some distance from Lu Ban and Feng Yu, a Tide Caller was lurking in the dark sea.

In his field of vision, bloody and brutal words gradually emerged, forming the system's mission objectives.

[The hostile Chosen of the Gods have invaded the Deep Sea have been found: 1/1]

[Killed enemy Chosen of the Gods: 0/1]

"As expected, this guy is the intruder."

The Tide Caller realized that he had just finished his mission and was about to rest for a while when he suddenly received an urgent message to hunt down the Chosen of the Gods had invaded this alien land.

It took him several days to finally find the other person.

This was his home turf. The Chosen of the Gods named Gaga was very confident, and since the other party had not discovered his method, he was cautious and prepared to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill the enemy without anyone noticing.

He is ready to act.
