Brief Meeting

Star Sea, Merfolk Tribe territory.

A deep blue vortex tugged at its surroundings, constantly swallowing the surging seawater. Yet deep within the vortex lay an entirely different world.

Countless sunken ships and animal skeletons were buried here, while caves of varying sizes dotted the surroundings, silent and eerie.

This was the Merfolk Tribe's stronghold—the Deep Eye Vortex.

Its only connection to the outside world was the vortex on the sea's surface. The sunken ships and animal skeletons here had all been sucked in by the vortex and buried within.

The Merfolk Tribe had chosen this natural deathtrap as their territory not only because the Deep Eye Vortex served as an excellent natural defensive barrier, but also because of the Merfolk Tribe's habits.

Unlike the other races of the Star Sea, which built their territories on islands, the Merfolk Tribe was better suited to living beneath the sea. Back when the Star Sea had eight great tribes, their underwater combat strength had also been the strongest.

Building their territory here therefore made both defense and daily life more convenient.

At that moment, within a cave in the Merfolk Tribe's territory, a water-repelling formation slowly rose, drawing all the seawater out of the cave.

The figures who had arrived from outside also took their seats one after another.

The Merfolk Tribe's chieftain then looked solemnly at everyone and spoke:

"The Merfolk Tribe, Soul-Severing Tribe, Storm Tribe, Blood Fiend Tribe, Mountain-Sea Tribe, and human race—the six local powers of the Star Sea are all present. The meeting will now officially begin. Everyone may speak freely." After saying that, the Merfolk chieftain sat down and turned his gaze toward the group.

After a brief silence, the silver-haired Storm Tribe chieftain was the first to speak:

"Let's share intelligence first. According to information our scouts
