Island of the Other Shore!

Leave 020's containment chamber.

Qin Leng removed all electronic devices from his body and went to the deepest part of the Containment Zone. He took out his access card and opened the door.

Then I put the access card outside.

Upon entering the containment chamber, it was pitch black. There were no lights, no electronic devices, and the signal was completely blocked.

Qin Leng's clone looked into the darkness. "020 computer, he asked me to take care of you. What are your thoughts?"

A pair of eyes lit up in the darkness, followed by a burst of unrestrained laughter.

"Hehehehehe, hahahaha, will you take care of me?"

"Then why don't you come to see me in person? Why send this fake 012 to see me? Are you that afraid of me?"

"To be honest, I think you're a very interesting person, and quite smart, but have you ever heard the saying, 'Too clever by half'?"

"However, some things lose their meaning if you talk about them too much."

"You want to find the remaining Chaos Splitter? I can help you, for free, but do you dare listen, Qin Leng?"

Qin Leng took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "Tell me."

The person in the darkness grinned and then began a long narration.

Time passed slowly, and more and more cigarette butts accumulated at Qin Leng's feet.

At a certain moment, Qin Leng's watch rang.

"Time is up."

The person in the darkness looked up. "012 really listens to you. Here's one last piece of advice."

"Qin Leng, the war is never over."

"Not now, and not in the future."

"Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has never ceased to fight, wage war and seek revenge, even when mankind was still a beast."

"Although people now wear the skin of monsters, we all know that they have never changed. They are still human, and we are still human."

"No one, as long as they are human, can escape this law."

"No one can stop this war. We are all mired in it. The only thing we can do is let the war rage on, or let it rest for a moment."

That's all.

Upon hearing this, Qin Leng stood up. "That brief respite is enough for humanity to catch its breath for a long time."

"Besides, this doesn't seem to be something you should be concerned about."

After saying that, Qin Leng's body instantly dissipated, turning into a drop of blood that fell to the ground.

As Qin Leng disappeared, the person in the darkness suddenly sprang up!

He lunged forward, but the two chains pulled him back!

"Damn old bastard, you better be buried before I get out of here, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The chains swayed, and the person in the darkness instinctively touched their neck. "Of course, there are my good friends too."

Nighttime at sea.

A strange ship emitting an eerie green glow sailed on the sea; it looked like a giant Ghost Ship.

The Ghost Ship continuously emitted a ghostly green mist, reflecting off the sea as if it were a bioluminescent sea.

Countless people dressed in black robes stood on the ship, their arms adorned with tattoos of Hand of the Serpent.

Has Lord Adam not issued any new orders yet?

"No."

"When are we going to rescue the giant snake?"

"Save the giant snake?"

"Isn't this our mission?"

"Yes, saving the giant snake is our mission, and a mission is also a goal. This goal must be far out of reach. If it could be done easily, then it would not be a mission."

"I prefer to call this a dream."

"It's just something you dream about."

"You mean we're not going to save the giant snake?"

"Save them! Everyone wants to save the giant serpent, but please tell me, where is Paradise? Where is the giant serpent? We don't know, we can't see it, we can't find it, how can we save it?"

Upon hearing the man's words, the Hand of the Serpent members nearby were taken aback.

"Nevertheless, we should still face difficulties without fear and hold fast to our beliefs..."

"Who says we have lost our faith? Who says we are afraid of hardship?"

Another man in black robes walked over and casually said, "He's new here, no need to say much to him, he'll understand."

"Rescuing the giant snake is the highest and most noble mission in the hearts of each of us. We are prepared for generations to follow in its footsteps and complete this task."

"So don't expect to rescue the giant snake in our generation. Our first step is to gain a foothold in this world."

"The first step to gaining a foothold is to collect Ancient Relic. As long as we have enough Ancient Relic, we will have the capital to stand on our own feet."

"Only in this way can we think about how to rescue the giant snake."

Hearing the man's words, the new Hand of the Serpent members finally understood.

So saving the giant serpent was just a slogan; the real goal was to reshape the world. Nobody actually thought about saving the giant serpent!

This is like an excuse to unite the group.

People share a common goal, so they naturally come together. But whether they actually work towards that goal is another matter entirely.

The Hand of the Serpent are currently in a precarious situation, caught between multiple factions.

Nine-Tailed Fox, Blood Clan, sea creatures—they all want to eliminate the Hand of the Serpent and seize the Ancient Relic in its possession.

To ensure the continuation of the Hand of the Serpent, Leader Adam took away all the Hand of the Serpent cadres who possessed Ancient Relic, and they have been adrift at sea for a long time, relying on the Ancient Relic on the Ghost Ship.

On the bow of the Ghost Ship, Adam held a map in one hand and a compass in the other, constantly determining his location.

The map was an Ancient Relic called Treasure Map.

It is the greedy Golden King, Ancient Relic of the Zaiq sequence.

Its effect is to display all existing Ancient Relic within a certain range.

"It's coming soon, right before our eyes. The Ancient Relic of the Kalen lineage, the Golden Trident, the key to seal away the calamity."

"As long as we can find the trident, we have a way to roll those things in the sea back into the deep sea and put them back to sleep."

Adam looked up and saw a huge island in front of him.

"This is Island of the Other Shore?"

Adam returned to the cabin, spread the map out on the table, and picked up a parchment book from the side.

Open the parchment book, and you'll find a series of stories recorded inside.

This book is also Ancient Relic, titled The Secrets of the Sea.

It records the life experiences of four great pirates, including the islands they encountered and the strange treasures they stumbled upon, all of which are documented in this parchment book.

"The ruler Balroza found the legendary Island of the Other Shore, broke the seal on the sea, and released those ancient and abhorrent monsters."

"One day, several hundred years later, the pioneer Kalen also found the Island of the Other Shore and obtained the key to seal the calamity, a Golden Trident."

After a mysterious revival, the ocean not only contained more treasures and shipwrecks, but also many more islands.

These islands appeared out of thin air; no one had ever discovered any islands in this area before.

But the Hand of the Serpent and some others didn't know that the Island of the Other Shore already existed in this world.

As the Ghost Ship docked, a figure quickly detached from the hull of the vessel underwater.
