Apart from an emergency evacuation, Lin Yuan could think of nothing that would make the Abyssal Sea Research Department urgently descend into the Abyssal Sea.
Of course, he still could not be certain that the Abyssal Sea Research Department had submerged into the Abyssal Sea.
But Lin Yuan could not enter the Abyssal Sea yet. The Modification Pack he had obtained required a level-six Ship Hull.
According to Little Black's progress reports, the level-six Hull Blueprint was nearly ready, but exactly how much longer it would take depended on when Little Black could resolve the last few critical design issues.
As Little Black put it, with a flash of inspiration, it might be finished right away, but without inspiration, it might take another month or so of slow work.
And although Bai Ling's Inspiration detection range was astonishing, she could not probe the Abyssal Sea from the Deep Sea.
Each layer of the underwater world was independent, and she could not yet sense or probe across worlds.
"The most urgent task right now is to determine whether the Abyssal Sea Research Department actually entered the Abyssal Sea."
"Maybe the people on Peaceful Island know something?"
Lin Yuan considered it, then headed upward toward Peaceful Island.
The Abyssal Sea Research Department was on the edge of Peaceful Island. Given its remote location and poor accessibility, the Island Dwellers certainly would not have been able to see it.
But as the Peaceful Sea was one of Humanity's Ten Inner Seas, the Island Lord of Peaceful Island was definitely among the best of the Island Lords, probably only slightly inferior to the East Pole Island Lord.
Their strength was equivalent to that of a top Authority Holder. The movements of the Abyssal Sea Research Department should not have escaped such a figure's senses.
