Sea Eye Venerable's help

Upon learning that the [Super Fishing Rod] could be used to fish for reinforcements, Lin Yu had already considered...

He wanted "Fishing Man" Chen Le to fish the "Sea Eye Venerable" from the Outer Sea.

Although the Middle Sea and the Outer Sea are separated by the insurmountable "Storm Wall," the "fishing" of the [Super Fishing Rod] can even World-Crossing barriers to fish across worlds, so dragging an individual from the Outer Sea is not a difficult task.

As for why it's Sea Eye Venerable...

This is, of course, because Sea Eye Venerable is also an important connection for Lin Yu in the Nether Void Realm.

Although the structure of the Nether Void Realm is extremely distorted, and the development of the Middle Sea and the Outer Sea is like two generations apart, this does not mean that Lin Yu's connections with Hannah and Ka, or the Sea Eye Venerable, are unimportant.

It's like if you were to befriend both the world's richest person and an African chief in real life... While the relationship with the world's richest person could help you solve most of your life's problems, it doesn't mean that your African chief friend is completely useless.

In many specific situations, an African tribal chief is also a key figure with connections who can accomplish things that only he can do.

Therefore, after entering the Pure Ruins, Lin Yu used the [Social Panel] of the "Yayu" to locate the "Sea Eye Venerable" and used the spiritual nodes he had left among the Sea Demons to send some brief information to Sea Eye Venerable, proving his identity.

Afterwards, Lin Yu, as Sea Eye Venerable's Partner, asked Sea Eye Venerable for some things and listened to some of Sea Eye Venerable's needs.

After the two quickly finalized the details of the deal and cooperation, Lin Yu also told Sea Eye Venerable to be prepared to be taken to the Middle Sea at any time.

At that time, Lin Yu had already made plans to bring Sea Eye Venerable to the Middle Sea.

After all, even without Chen Le's help, Lin Yu could have brought Sea Eye Venerable here himself through a [Guest Appearance Invitation].

It just requires more effort and to avoid being noticed.

Of course, now that Chen Le is helping... we can just let him fish for a bit.

A smart person like Sea Eye Venerable didn't need to emphasize anything to him. Even though Lin Yu had met him in the form of "Yayu" last time, and this time he had changed to the appearance of "Zhu Ming," Sea Eye Venerable didn't ask any questions. He simply and naturally started talking to Lin Yu, who was now appearing as "Zhu Ming."

"Anyway... you don't need to worry about my enemies; you can't possibly deal with them all anyway."

"The war is still ongoing, so I have to return to the front lines to command in a bit. Let's hurry—I've brought what you needed."

Sea Eye Venerable spoke, he took out a small sharkskin bag and handed it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took the heavy bag and asked, "Alright... are your people ready? Are you sure they can cross the 'Storm Wall' once you arrive?"

Sea Eye Venerable nodded. "Of course, we Sea Demons are the most skilled in 'teleportation technology'... One of the important reasons why I dare to go to war with the Mermaid is that I have already recreated a temporary 'teleportation array node' in my ancient collection."

As he spoke, Sea Eye Venerable took out a metal sphere from the inside of his governor's robe, and gently tossed it into the air. The sphere then transformed into a metal gate taller than two people.

The space within the frame of the gate began to undulate and fold, quickly forming a tranquil and profound spatial doorway.

"However, why did you send us to this Middle Sea to create chaos and loot? I clearly see a little creature from this Sea Beast Race on your shoulder. Do you have a grudge against this kind of creature?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "No, that's not it... I just need you guys to cover for me."

Hannah chimed in, "That's right, quack... It's precisely because the boss has a good relationship with our clan that we need you to take action."

Sea Eye Venerable was stunned for a moment, then realized. "I see... Are we supposed to take the blame?"

"However, the returns are high enough that even if the Sea Beast Race of the Middle Sea set their sights on us, it doesn't matter... In any case, the Sea Beast Race of the Middle Sea cannot interfere with the Outer Sea's power structure; that's an unchanging ironclad rule."

"The worst outcome would be that the suicide squad members who participated in the 'looting' would be imprisoned and punished."

Sea Eye Venerable spoke nonchalantly, then gently patted the door frame, and the formed spatial door instantly came to life, connecting to another spatial door.

On the other side of the door, Lin Yu could vaguely see what the Sea Demons camp looked like—soon, hundreds of Sea Demons cheered.

"It's done! It's done!"

"Governor... he actually arrived at the Middle Sea!"

"As expected of His Excellency the Consul!"

And after Sea Eye Venerable raised his hands...

"Smack!"

Sea Eye Venerable clapped his hands, and the cheers abruptly stopped.

Then, Sea Eye Venerable waved his hands behind him, and the quiet Sea Demons quickly walked in from the spatial gate in neat rows.

Although they remained excited, their Discipline was stricter than ever before.

Looking at the vast army of Sea Demons, Chen Le turned to Lin Yu: "So you asked me to lure this guy over because he can create all things and bring an army with him?"

He overheard the entire conversation between Lin Yu and Sea Eye Venerable and roughly understood it...

This guy is a big shot among the Sea Demons monsters of the Outer Seas.

This made Chen Le sigh... No wonder Lin Yu also had some understanding of the situation in the Outer Sea Pure Ruins.

Lin Yu nodded. "Of course, and... he's reliable enough."

"I certainly trust the people you brought," Chen Le said, looking at the Sea Demons who had already begun lining up and gathering in the Museum, preparing to break through various restrictions and move the artifacts. "But... is this your plan, to make the Sea Demons take the blame?"

"More than that... if only one force were to loot the Museum, it wouldn't be chaotic enough, and they might not be able to hide it from Ka."

So—these Sea Demons are just the first wave.

"They first messed up the inside of the Museum, and then... another reason I called this Sea Demon Governor over was 'this' he gave me."

As Lin Yu spoke, he raised the sharkskin bag.

Chen Le looked at the bag, somewhat curious. "So... what's this?"

"Barewater—bait that can relocate the battlefield from the 'Banquet Hall' here."

As Lin Yu spoke, he opened the bag and gently shook it.

Then...

An unusually large... gray rough stone fell out of the small bag.

Thump!

The heavy, gray stone fell to the ground, its surface engraved with faint incantations that circled around it like chains, as if sealing something.

Chen Le looked at the stone, his suspicion growing stronger.

"What's this?"

Do you remember why the "Marauders" and the "Order" came about?

Lin Yu looked at Chen Le and asked.

"You didn't spread false information through the 'Director'... saying there was a 'Sea God Divine Artifact' here... uh, wait a minute," Chen Le looked at the gray stone at his feet, "This thing is the Impostor you found to impersonate that Divine Artifact? It doesn't look like it at all!"

"Although this thing is very old and has a long history, what does it have to do with Divine Artifact?"

Lin Yu calmly said, "First of all, this is not Impostor. I have found a genuine Sea God Divine Artifact —a 'Sealed Stone Box' that was collected by that Sea Demon Governor before the sinking of the Mu Continent. As long as the seal is broken, we can take out the things that were sealed inside by the experts of the Mu Continent Civilization, or even possibly by the Deity themselves."

Chen Le frowned slightly. "Then how did the governor know that Divine Artifact was sealed inside...? Moreover, the seal looks like it has already failed."

"He doesn't know... but I do. I've seen his collection before, and I'm pretty sure there's a Divine Artifact hidden inside, but I didn't tell him," Lin Yu said in a low voice. "As for the 'seal failing'... that's true. After all, in that governor's eyes, this 'Sealed Stone Box' is empty—he only collected the box itself."

"But... precisely because this seal had been broken, he didn't notice... that this box actually contained a 'double seal'—and that Divine Artifact was hidden within the second seal."

Lin Yu's words surprised Chen Le.

"Such a thing exists?"

"Of course—next, as long as you attack this 'Sealed Stone Box,' the aura of the Divine Artifact inside will leak out—at that time, both 'Celestial King' and the members of 'Order' will probably try their best to rush here immediately."

Lin Yu spoke with certainty, and Chen Le thought for a moment before slowly nodding.

"I understand," Zhu Ming. "... Should I attack now?"

Lin Yu made a "please go ahead" gesture.

Treat him like a regular "Tier 3" expert, and attack this box with the same kind of power used to defeat an opponent of this level.

Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le nodded.

"Okay, then I'll use my [Auxiliary Landing Net Tool] to attack it."

Then...

He put away the [Super Fishing Rod] and took out the so-called [Auxiliary Landing Net Tool].

Lin Yu's eye twitched.

"This is a [Auxiliary Landing Net Tool]?"

The large-caliber revolver that appeared to be outrageously large came from the hands of "Fishing Man" Chen Le.

With its carved handle and enchanted barrel, even without sensing any energy fluctuations, one could tell from its appearance that this was a creation of the Night Valley Realm.

And... it's very strong.

Chen Le opened the revolver's magazine. Unlike the revolvers Lin Yu was used to, this revolver's rotary magazine only had four empty slots.

Chen Le loaded a bullet into the magazine, then rotated it and aimed at the stone box.

"Many aquatic creatures in the Ten Realms are far more ferocious than imagined... so the [Auxiliary Landing Net Tool] naturally needs to be quite powerful too."

Then, Chen Le pulled the trigger.

Thump!

Gunfire erupted, producing a roar like artillery fire.
