CHAPTER 483: CHAPTER 235: WELCOME TO THE BRIGHT WORLD PROMISED BY SHIAYAR (5K)

Western Continent, Endless Ocean Domain.

A wooden sailboat broke through the wind and waves, sailing on the vast and mighty ocean.

"According to the intelligence passed on from the War Church..."

"At the time of the catastrophic event, the Elven Royal Court that fell into the Endless Ocean Domain should be located around this area."

At the bow, the middle-aged captain held a compass in one hand and a pen between his fingers, comparing it with the nautical chart in his hand.

This is the era of humans and adventurers.

Although, compared to those Divine Era races of ancient times, the human race does not possess powerful physiques or sharp claws... the ambition in human hearts is no less than the master of the Divine Era.

When the territories within the Western Continent were divided step by step, and minerals, resources, extraordinary materials, and other scarce resources were split among numerous human factions, each scramble becoming incredibly fierce, even leading to wars.

Naturally, some turned their gaze beyond the Western Continent to the boundless ocean.

With the initial cataclysm, deities shattered and the ancient creator fell apart, countless fragments of unclaimed divinity and authority also scattered across the Main Material Plane.

And now, most of the scattered divinity fragments on the Western Continent have long been detected and devoured by the fabled creatures roaming the world. The divinity that still remains unowned on the land has become extremely rare, and every emergence of divinity sparks a divine war.

However, in contrast, the divinity and authority fragments scattered in the Endless Ocean Domain have mostly not been discovered and remain quietly dormant, waiting for the opportunity to see the light of day again.

Of course, even if these independent adventurers indeed discover the unclaimed divinity scattered during the cataclysm in the endless ocean, they would not dare claim it as their own.

These are supreme treasures that only those at the peak of the legendary rank, aiming to become demigods, are qualified to touch and might even attract the covetousness of deities.

With this ship lacking even a legendary figure, where the strongest is merely a Titled Rank adventurer team, coveting divinity would be tantamount to seeking death.

"However, since it’s the ruins of the Elven Royal Court from the Glorious Era..."

"Even if we cannot touch that supreme divinity."

"But, within the ruins of that court, there must be a vast amount of extraordinary materials and traits remaining."

The middle-aged captain licked his dry lips.

His face, weathered and yellowed from long exposures at sea, now showed a flicker of longing.

That is the ruin of the Divine Era’s Elven Royal Court.

As powerful divine era beings, the extraordinary power within those ancient elves does not vanish with death but instead turns into extraordinary materials that persist for a long time.

And the Elven Royal Court, as one of the three supreme courts that once ruled the Glorious Era.

Besides God Subordinates and Angels, the Elven Royal Court would naturally have numerous high order, even legendary elves present.

"If I could find extraordinary materials of the legendary rank within the Elven Royal Court."

"And then bring them back to the Western Continent to trade for enhancement materials that match my main pet beast’s attributes."

"Then maybe—I could also attempt to break through that legendary bottleneck?"

Such a thought flashed through the middle-aged captain’s mind and did not linger.

In this world, there isn’t a 6-Ring Beastmaster who doesn’t desire to break through to legendary status.

Unfortunately, the legendary rank is like a heavenly barrier, halting countless exceptional talents from advancing.

He withdrew from those unrealistic fantasies and carefully compared the nautical chart in his hand.

Clearly, the intelligence transmitted from the War Church indicated the coordinates of the Elven Royal Court ruins precisely here.

Yet, the sea before him remained vast and limitless, without a trace of the ancient island they anticipated, not even a reef in sight.

"Could the intelligence from the War Church be wrong?"

The middle-aged captain couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

As a transcendent with ambitions of reaching legendary status, he naturally wouldn’t be like those naive believers of the Divine Church Kingdom, genuinely believing the church of the deities to be supreme, harboring any sincere faith or unrealistic hopes.

The War Church of the Western Continent, previously releasing information about the coordinates of the Elven Royal Court on the Endless Ocean Domain to the outside world, couldn’t have been out of pure goodwill.

He knew full well the conduct of those churches. They are not ones to give away free meals out of kindness.

Most likely, due to certain reasons, the War Church was inconvenient to act openly.

Thus, they wished to employ independent adventurers like himself to replace the War Church to enter the ruins of that Elven Royal Court to probe certain intelligence and spy on certain matters.

As for the reason the War Church is inconvenient to act openly, he had some guesses—

It likely relates to the Supreme Black Tower, which recently announced its arrival to the world in a high-profile manner, miraculously constructing a magnificent city in a single night.

However, the middle-aged captain himself didn’t care about these.

In that Elven Royal Court’s ruins, there must exist some danger and taboo even the War Church does not wish to face.
