“Tell me more about the Ocean God’s Shrine.”
The shrimp leader and the crab leader looked at each other, and the latter spoke up, “This isn’t a secret… Two months ago, there was a violent disturbance at the Ocean God’s Shrine, as if some divine object was born. The lords from various regions rushed with their armies to contend for it, leaving only a small number of soldiers behind…”
Everyone suddenly realized that the reason they hadn’t seen the armies of the lords along the way was because of this.
As for the birth of a divine object, Ji Chen quickly thought of whether this was the power of the ocean.
Ji Chen asked the two marine leaders a few more questions. Until he couldn’t get any useful information, Ji Chen quickly returned to the giant turtle and headed towards the Ocean God’s Shrine and the settlements of humans, elves, and other races that had mistakenly entered this area.
Watching the island-like giant turtle gradually drifting away, leaving behind two bewildered marine leaders and two marine armies looking at each other in confusion.
Their eyes were full of confusion.
Disturbed by this diversion, they didn’t know whether to continue fighting or to cease fire.
The power of the ocean was originally intact, but in the battle of the ancient ice field tens of thousands of years ago, its host deity was besieged by several dark deities, splitting into several forces and residing in various divine weapons.
Several divine weapons were taken away by the orderly deities who arrived later, and for various reasons, they were scattered all over the middle of the ocean.
Among them, the most powerful divine weapon, the Ocean God’s Shrine, was used to suppress and repair the severely damaged and chaotic sea area due to the battle of the gods.
To prevent anyone from coveting it, the orderly deity responsible for supervising the operation of the Ocean God’s Shrine, before leaving, triggered another power of the Ocean God’s Shrine — a curse.
Such a curse successfully kept the covetous away for hundreds of thousands of years, but as time passed and the unattended Ocean God’s Shrine gradually lost stability, the residual divine power leaked out, giving birth to byproducts like the Divine Power Tree.
In recent years, it has become increasingly unstable, with every disturbance attracting the attention of the entire sea area…
This was the information provided by the shrimp leader and the crab leader. Its authenticity is difficult to determine, but Ji Chen is inclined to believe it because it aligns with what he already knows.
At that time, among the divine weapons, one of them was a trident, which was left in that icy and desolate ice field, allowing him to obtain it inadvertently and gain a touch of the power of the ocean.
Only the power of the ocean, which is of the same origin, can lift the curse it imposes.
The closer they got to the location of the Ocean God’s Shrine, the clearer their perception became. The power of the ocean within their bodies seemed to be calling out, urging them to quickly integrate the power that belonged to them into one.
The Sea of Death didn’t seem very large on the main world map, but from the inside, it’s several times larger.
Ji Chen speculated that this was because during the battle of the gods, the dispersed divine power disrupted the spatial rules nearby, causing the phenomenon of spatial overlap, making this area as large as half of the southern sea area, extending thousands of miles.
As they continued northward, they gradually began to see traces of some marine races on the road, all seemingly heading towards the Ocean God’s Shrine. These marine races had all heard of the disturbances that occurred there.
Curses are terrifying, but danger and opportunity coexist.
That’s a divine artifact!
Since so many powerful lords from the Sea of Death had gone there, there must be something good. With a hopeful mentality, they went to see if they could pick up some leftovers.
However, as they were on their way, they suddenly saw a huge giant turtle carrying dense towers passing by not far away. Its limbs required dozens of people to embrace, its head was bigger than a house, and the airflow from its nose stirred up water splashes several meters high.
Around it, there were thousands of powerful armies flying in the air.
They were stunned and dumbfounded.
It wasn’t until the giant turtle disappeared in the distance that they snapped back to their senses and felt hesitant.
With such a giant turtle around, what’s the point of going there?
Along the way, the lords and armies they encountered all kept their distance.
The Sea of Death was a place full of barbarism and chaos. Killing didn’t need any reason, and if one’s strength was inferior, they would naturally become prey. They all feared that if the giant turtle didn’t like them, it would crush them with one foot.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and Ji Chen soon saw the settlements of humans, elves, and other races.
On this undulating island, stood buildings with distinctive racial characteristics. Although most of the materials were rocks, from the architectural style, it was easy to distinguish where humans lived and where elves lived.
Most of the humans used stone to build, while the elves carved exquisite patterns on the rocks, sculpting decorative sculptures. The dwarves and gnomes carved caves into the mountains.
However, whether it was humans, elves, or dwarves, when they saw the giant turtle, they all showed expressions of fear.
Because the giant turtle was squatting squarely on the edge of the island, with thousands of powerful armies circling around it, glaring at them.
Ji Chen, accompanied by heroes, stepped onto the island. The discerning humans and elves hurriedly ran up, bowing and saluting with the most respectful tone and demeanor.
“Sir, welcome to Hometown Island.”
Ji Chen raised an eyebrow.
“Hometown Island?”
A male elf who looked like the leader smiled bitterly. “Yes, the humans, elves, dwarves, and various other races living here all inadvertently came here but couldn’t return. They named it Hometown Island because they yearn for their hometowns..”
