Chen Lin stayed at the inn for several days.
Then he set out again.
His destination was the Sunset Sea, tens of thousands of miles away. Rumor had it that the Sea Monster Tribe there was exceptionally powerful and was still resisting the Celestial God Palace. It was also the last major resistance force remaining in this realm.
The Red Ape Clan believed in never submitting.
His life task was bound to be related to that belief. His earlier guess had been that he needed to trample the Celestial God Palace underfoot, and the truth probably would not differ much.

He could only borrow the strength of others.
