The Second Lifeline of the North American Continent, North Port (Bonus Chapter for Ally "Ding Shenyou")
When sailing over the desolate, arduous sea, being able to encounter wonders and "auspicious omens" was a rare, heartening good thing. Whether it was Exploration Captain Zuwaro or Scholar Miki, neither would let this chance slip by; they would use it properly to lift the fleet's morale!
Because the fleet had explored to such a distant range, they were already nearly ten thousand li from the Kingdom. The seas stretched vast and boundless to north and south, and the great boats drifted like duckweed. At this moment, only the summons of the gods, only the sense of mission born of faith, could let everyone continue forward without fear!
"The Main God protects us! This is His miracle, and also His revelation! His palm points north, and our exploration is destined to be completed smoothly!"
Soon, the four Longships beached on the sand. Under the priests' guidance, the two hundred crewmen watched the golden sunset slowly sink behind God Palm Peak while devoutly raising their voices in prayer!
"Praise the Main God for sending down a miracle! The Main God protects the fleet! The exploration will surely succeed!"
Golden radiance shrouded the towering God Palm Peak, forming a ring of magnificent, dazzling golden halo. Everyone gazed at this miracle-like, spectacular scene, and some even shed tears in devotion. Very soon, the golden radiance gradually turned red again, like the Red Kingdom, and also as if it were the Main God's promise.
"This is the Main God's will! Continue north! Advance without fear! And all warriors who die in the exploration will ascend into the Red Kingdom and forever enjoy beautiful peace!..."
Everyone moored for the night on the gray-brown beach, and once again saw the rising sun in the east. The location of God Palm Peak was the later Pacific City.
