Jiang Ping walked along, noticing a distinct commonality among the mutated trees. He keenly observed that these mutated trees, found across the globe, might share a common soul.

"Is it you? You who became all things, returning as one after countless ages," Jiang Ping mused.

From the distant docks came a series of booming sounds as alchemy ships, carved with the likenesses of strange beasts, slowly sailed closer.

The depths of the ocean harbored various colossal sea beasts, each possessing extraordinary bloodlines and unique divine powers. Therefore, every large ship was equipped with the latest alchemy cannons.

Time flowed by. Over the years, a certain young man had traveled the world. Perceptive individuals noticed that whenever he appeared, the local mutated trees would sway in the wind as if overjoyed.

Sometimes, this young man would leave behind small gifts. Those fortunate enough to receive them would rise with the wind, their lives undergoing dramatic changes.

Perhaps they would salvage an ancient relic during a sea voyage, or make a fortune in business.

Gradually, legends about Jiang Ping began to circulate throughout the world. In the mouths of the bards on every street, this mysterious youth was known as the God of Luck Bell. Those who encountered him would receive gifts from destiny, ascending to the heavens overnight.

And among these rumors, the most dazzling was that of the Sea King Lu Fei!

In his youth, Lu Fei had a chance encounter with the God of Luck and received divine blessings. He ran away from home as a boy to become a sailor, and within a year, he had assembled a crew through his personal charisma.

His Golden Divine Dragon ship was responsible for countless legendary feats. Equipped with twelve Divine Dragon Cannons, its keel was infused with Sub-dragon blood, embodying the pinnacle of alchemy technology.

Furthermore, he led his crew to explore numerous continents, consolidating the technologies of various kingdoms into a single vessel. It could be said that the Golden Divine Dragon was the essence of the Great Age of Exploration.

Sea King Lu Fei's greatest achievement was circumnavigating the world!

He set sail at the age of twenty-five, and after thirty-two years, he finally returned to his homeland. He had left home young and returned old; of the many brothers who had once gathered, only a few remained.

His footprints had traversed every corner of the world. After the Great Cataclysm, Lu Fei was the first to fully explore the New World and chart its maps! This achievement alone ensured he would be forever etched in human history!

It was said that on the day of his return, the sea boiled, and waves rose thousands of feet high to welcome the Sea King's return. Tens of thousands of auspicious sea beasts surfaced, offering their blessings to this legendary Sea King.

The human kingdoms were shaken, and the kings themselves personally welcomed him at the docks.

The docks were packed with people, the clamor deafening, and shock was evident on every face as they awaited this historic moment!

"I see it! I see the Divine Dragon ship!"

A loud shout from the front ignited the entire dock. Royalty, nobles, lords, knights, and commoners alike all cranched their necks to get a look.

A colossal vessel, scarred but still speeding towards them, appeared before everyone's eyes. A majestic ship flag bearing the image of a divine dragon was particularly dazzling.

A middle-aged man, bursting with vigor, raised his battle saber. The brilliant sunset shone upon him, and in that moment, he was the king of the world!

The crowd erupted instantly. Countless young girls and women shrieked, piercing the sky, while the excited men jumped wildly, releasing their hormones!

However, what no one saw was that Sea King Lu Fei clutched the Green Leaf Pendant around his neck with one hand.

After more than thirty years of perilous adventures, what kind of demons and monsters hadn't he encountered? If not for this miraculous item, gifted to him by a mysterious person in his youth, he would have long ago perished in the deep sea, lost in the endless ocean.

Lu Fei looked back with a hint of melancholy, glancing at the ocean behind him. "I've traveled to the ends of the earth, crossed countless mountains and rivers, and still haven't found you?"

Alas, his words were lost amidst the overwhelming cheers...

In the 3658th year of the New Human Calendar, the legendary Sea King Lu Fei emerged. In his youth, he encountered a great fortune and received a treasure bestowed by the God of Luck. After more than thirty years, he successfully returned to his homeland, proving that the world was once round above and square below, just as recorded in ancient texts.

"Crack."

Gazing at this historic scene, Jiang Ping, standing amidst the crowd, smiled. He slowly opened the Creation Diary, and the second page had been updated once more.

In the Primordial Calendar, New Century, Sea King Lu Fei, after a youthful fortunate encounter, sought the lost artifact, the Spear of Destiny, traveling to every corner of the New World and charting its first map, ultimately finding nothing.

"Not every effort yields a reward," Jiang Ping said slowly, looking at the words "ultimately finding nothing."

He gazed at Lu Fei in the center of the crowd. At this moment, Lu Fei was at the peak of his life. Every person recorded in the Creation Diary had a significant impact on the world. Without a doubt, Lu Fei was the protagonist of the Great Age of Exploration.

"You searched tirelessly for treasure, unaware that you had already obtained it." Jiang Ping suddenly smiled, looking at Lu Fei, whose brow still held a trace of regret.

Lu Fei seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head towards Jiang Ping's direction. However, the distant spot was empty.

"Was that my imagination? I felt as if I just saw the God of Luck I met in my youth." With the endless crowds surging forward, Lu Fei could only set aside his doubts for the moment.

Jiang Ping took a step, crossing two realms, and let out a big yawn. His personal descent this time had been exceptionally long.

Jiang Ping quickly washed up and went to sleep. As the Creation God and Creator, he still had the great responsibility of creating worlds, so he needed to take care of his body.

Jiang Ping lay down, but time in the Primordial World did not stop. Sea King Lu Fei was truly filled with the blood of adventure. After settling down in his hometown for just a few days, visitors began to arrive incessantly, their footsteps wearing down the doorstep. He instructed his subordinates, preparing supplies for another voyage.

Many nobles were perplexed. Wealth, fame, power – Sea King Lu Fei possessed all the good things in the world. Why did he still venture into dangerous seas?

Lu Fei's thirty-plus years of traveling the world had not been in vain. He had gradually pieced together much of the lost ancient human history.

He discovered that God-bestowed Treasures ran through the entire span of human history. In the deep sea, he had once salvaged ancient murals tens of thousands of years old. Receiving divine inspiration, he learned of the Human King Slaying Dragon Diagram and the era of myriad races vying for dominance. Another treasure had been lost in the ancient times.

However, the Spear of Destiny, in the last mural, was personally handed over by the last Human King to his subordinate. The Human King, who suppressed the land and sacrificed himself to buy precious time for the Human Race to retreat, had already had the Spear of Destiny taken away!

Lu Fei felt he was only one step away from this legendary artifact!

Yet, fortune favors the bold, and even heroes are subject to fate.

After successfully circumnavigating the world, it was as if he had exhausted all his luck. For the next few decades, although he returned laden with spoils from every voyage, his progress in finding clues to the Spear of Destiny came to a standstill!

Ultimately, it was not yet time for it to appear!

Fifty years later, the Sea King, once renowned throughout the world, had grown old. Lu Fei's hair was white, and his once powerful, knotted muscles were now weak. He no longer possessed his former might.

Over the years, he had established a family and had children and grandchildren. He cast a deep glance at the home behind him, leaving behind the Green Leaf Pendant that had influenced his entire life, and began to gather his remaining brothers for the greatest and final ultimate adventure of his life!

"Grandpa, sob sob (;Д`), your body is already gravely ill, why must you still go out to sea!" His most beloved grandson cried, trying to dissuade him.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Fei let out a hearty laugh, affectionately picking up his grandson who was clinging to his leg. "Fei'er, you must understand that your grandfather has always stood tall and faced countless demons and monsters without ever bowing his head. Rather than let me die of sickness in bed, it's far better to kill me!"

Lu Fei gently set his grandson down and unfurled the pure white cloak behind him.

"Set sail!"

Looking at the old brothers who had followed him for decades, he laughed heartily, "Let us old fellows embark on the final grand adventure of our lives!"

All the old crew members had come willingly. Looking at the captain who had led them for so many years, they exchanged glances and began to laugh wildly. What more could they ask for in life than to follow such a king?

Bathed in the crimson morning sun, carrying a hold full of laughter, the magnificent Golden Divine Dragon slowly sailed into the depths of the ocean. They would never return.

The wind howls and the Yi River is cold; a brave warrior departs, never to return.

Many years later, sailors who ventured out to sea would always say they saw the Divine Dragon sailing in the deep ocean.

The legendary Sea King Lu Fei, along with his valiant warriors, battled terrifying sea beasts. Some also said that in his final moments, the Sea King found the long-lost God-bestowed Treasure.

Guided by the divine artifact, he piloted the Divine Dragon, leading his band of brothers along the endlessly radiant heavenly road into the celestial realm...

"Has another protagonist of an era fallen?"

A faint voice echoed from the depths of the earth.
