Journey to the North Sea Eye, a Strange World

The Four Seas Eye was one of the greatest water sources in the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth. Water sources led by the Four Seas Eye continuously diverted seawater into the Four Seas.

In the end, stagnant and murky water flowed into the Return Ruins, preventing the waters of the Four Seas from completely overflowing and submerging the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

After the Dragon-Phoenix-Han Tribulation, the Dragon Clan had begun permanently guarding the Sea Eyes, dredging the Water Veins and gaining merit to offset their Karmic Force.

Letting one person in would not be a problem.

He was merely somewhat puzzled as to why Shen Fei wanted to visit the North Sea Eye.

Shen Fei was in no hurry either. He simply waited quietly for Guangze to make his decision.

The Four Seas Eye was not exactly a pleasant place. In fact, aside from the Dragon Clan, no one liked going there.

The Sea Eyes were the origins of the many Water Veins throughout the Primordial Heaven and Earth. They needed constant adjustment and dredging to prevent conflicts between water sources or deviations from their proper courses.

To the Primordial Heaven and Earth, the major Water Veins were equivalent to its blood vessels. If something went wrong with them, the spiritual energy of the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth would also be affected.

And beside the Sea Eye—or rather, on the other side of it—lay the Return Ruins.

It represented the emptiness of the Primordial Heaven and Earth, responsible for absorbing the murky and stagnant water within the sea and constantly keeping the seawater free from Corruption.

Shen Fei felt that the path to his Law of Devouring lay in the Sea Eye and the Return Ruins.

He could not fully comprehend something entirely unrelated to himself. If he wanted the Law of Devouring, blindly attempting to comprehend it from nothing would be inferior to using the Law of Water as a guide.

Water was not incapable of wielding Devouring Power. Whether Sea Eyes or whirlpools, both could allow one to draw inferences and comprehend the Law of Devouring.

That was why he wanted to visit the Sea Eye.

After learning that Hongjun bore him no goodwill, he knew he had to strengthen himself at all costs.

Guangze nodded. "That is possible. However, the North Sea Eye is currently overseen by our North Sea Dragon Clan to dredge the Water Veins. It is also where our Dragon Clan repays its karmic debt to Heaven and Earth... Fellow Daoist."

"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm merely curious about the Sea Eye, and I want to see the Return Ruins to find out whether I can gain any insight. I cannot listen to the Dao of the Saint, so I can only seek another path."

"Very well."

A turtle and a dragon hurried through the sea. The auras spreading from the two mighty beings repelled every cultivator nearby who wished to spy on them.

Though he had assumed an Innate Dao Body, he still found his turtle form more comfortable in the sea. After all these years, he transformed more often for the sake of comprehending the Great Dao.

As for being slow...

That was only slow compared to speedsters like Kunpeng. In water, with mastery over the Law of Water, Kunpeng in his Kun Body might not necessarily be faster than her.

As Shen Fei traveled, he turned his attention to the Chat Group.

To his surprise, that "Azure Avenger Captain" had actually appeared.

[Azure Avenger Captain: So you truly aren't hallucinations... Which True God is playing a joke on me?]

[Peach Blossom Island Little Cook: I told you it wasn't. Good lord, you only believe it now?]

On the Sonia Sea, a three-masted sailing ship was cutting through a storm.

Yet strangely, no sailors controlled its sails or adjusted its rudder, but it sailed onward of its own accord.

Alger stood on the deck, his body rising and falling with the swaying ship while effortlessly maintaining his balance.

He wore a robe embroidered with lightning patterns. In his hand, he held a strangely shaped glass bottle, within which bubbles, wind, frost, and snow occasionally intertwined.

"It's about time to attempt advancing to Navigator..."

A thought flashed through his mind, and he sent it into the Chat Group again.

More than half a year ago, after obtaining the Azure Avenger during a mission, he had received a message inviting him to join the Chat Group.

But he had never spoken. He had thought it was a hallucination caused by drinking a Potion, and that responding could easily make him lose control.

Yet after observing for some time, he felt that the things they discussed became increasingly real. He could even see the Destiny Instances for which they had opened permissions.

Even hallucinations should not contain things entirely beyond his knowledge, right?

If this was not a hallucination, then it could only be a joke played on him by a Sequence 1, or even a Sequence 0.

[I Am Spider-Man: If we're talking about gods, there are only two gods in this group. One is our respected Group Leader, and the other is Willow God. But they probably wouldn't deign to joke with you.]

[Azure Avenger Captain: I meant no offense to either of you, my lords. It just always felt like a hallucination. I thought my Potion hadn't been fully digested...]

When Shen Fei saw the word "Potion," it was as though a key had unlocked his memories.

Wasn't this Azure Avenger Captain the Hanged Man from Lord of Besties? The one who would eventually become a Sequence 4 Lord of Calamity, wield the Sea King Scepter containing the Sequence 3 Extraordinary Characteristic for The Fool, and possess the Sequence 2 Book of Calamity—Alger.

He had not expected the world pulled in this time to be rather unusual as well.

This world was not a purely progression-focused world like Swallowed Star. Some of its Sequences were trash in the Early Stage.

But in the later stages, they showed some signs of wielding the power of laws.

Moreover, after the True Gods, there were the Great Old Ones and the Three Pillars...

This world was quite interesting.

[Primordial Giant Turtle uploaded the memory Lord of Besties. It matches group member "Azure Avenger Captain"... Download unavailable.]

When Alger saw the memory uploaded by the Group Leader, he had the sailors stand guard outside the captain's cabin while he returned inside to read it.

Before long, his expression became strange, then increasingly solemn.

"Klein... The Fool."

Alger murmured. Judging by the timeline, he should soon be pulled into Evernight City by Klein, formerly known as Zhou Mingrui.

And the Ghost Shark's Blood he had painstakingly sought would also be traded from Audrey.

"How should I deal with this... Pretend nothing happened and grow stronger with Klein and the Chat Group, or..." Alger rubbed his brow and toyed with the Mysterious Bottle he had obtained.

It was because of this that Klein would pull him into Evernight City.

Forget it. He would wait and see whether he would truly be pulled into Evernight City.

The next moment.

Deep crimson light erupted between the glass bottle and his palm, engulfing everything around him in an instant.

Alger's eyes flashed with horror as a thought crossed his mind. Speak of The Fool, and The Fool arrives?!

After uploading Lord of Besties, Shen Fei temporarily stopped paying attention to the Chat Group, because he had already arrived at one of the legendary Four Seas Eyes—the North Sea Eye.

This was nearly at the deepest part of the North Sea. Countless strands of innate water spiritual energy were compressed here, and before him and Guangze, a massive whirlpool slowly turned.

Outside the entrance, two True Dragons circled the whirlpool. Upon seeing the North Sea Dragon King, they hurriedly said, "Dragon King!"

"Mm. Let us in!"

"Yes!"

They paid no attention to Shen Fei beside Guangze. The two True Dragons spun continuously, merging with the whirlpool.

In the end, they formed an even larger whirlpool. Only then did Shen Fei notice the Law of Space upon it.

They had to open the door like this?
