Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“This used to be a weapon wielded by a god from the Orderly Divine Lineage, infused with the immense power of the ocean he controlled, granting it unparalleled strength.
This god once used this weapon to single-handedly take on three deities from the Barbaric Divine Lineage during a battle that erupted in this realm.
But later, a deity of the main god level from the Barbaric Divine Lineage disregarded righteousness and made a ruthless move, causing this god to ultimately fall, but his weapon remained in this frozen wilderness.”
Ji Chen’s heart was stirred, never expecting to learn about ancient god battles here. To be able to single-handedly face three opponents, apart from the god’s formidable strength, the weapon must have been extraordinary.
In a low tone, he asked, “So, what was the name and domain of this god?”
Marianne shook her head. “Due to the passage of time, his name is no longer known, but there is no doubt that he was at least of the upper god level, possessing several powerful authorities.”
Ji Chen’s eyes flickered slightly. The data from “Lord of Glory” clearly stated that gods were classified into lower gods, upper gods, and main gods.
The more powerful the god, the more authorities they possessed, and this Ocean God, who was at least an upper god, was considered powerful even among the Orderly Divine Lineage.
The oceanic power contained in that weapon was a perfect match for his own strength. If he could obtain this power, he would undoubtedly undergo another transformation.
In life, strength was the foundation of existence.
The power of the ocean, he was determined to obtain it!
However, at this moment, an elven elder suddenly spoke, “Lord Ji Chen, since you came from the main world to this place, you should know how to leave this frozen wilderness, right?”
“Of course.”
Ji Chen nodded naturally.
Seeing this, the other elven elders, including Marianne, showed a hopeful look on their faces.
Since the ancient god battle had long ended, there was no reason for them to continue staying in this desolate frozen wilderness. Especially after hearing Ji Chen talk about the relatively peaceful world outside, no elf was willing to stay here, surrounded by endless ice and snow.
Ji Chen could sense the excitement in their eyes and smiled faintly, “The gateway to leave is located in the southeast direction, approximately 150 kilometers from here.”
Marianne furrowed her brows. She was well aware of the harsh conditions in the frozen wilderness outside.
A distance of 150 kilometers might not be much for young elves, but if the entire Vale Village, including the elderly, the weak, and the children, had to traverse through the howling snowstorms and endless glaciers, not to mention the various monstrous lairs scattered across the frozen wilderness, it would be a daunting journey.
“Such a long distance, if anything unexpected happens on the way, I’m afraid…”
Ji Chen glanced at their changing expressions and spoke in a casual tone, “Apart from that, outside the gateway, there’s a powerful sea beast coveting that divine relic. Beyond that lies an endless expanse of water. Even if you can reach there, without a ship, it’s impossible to leave.”
Upon hearing this, Marianne and the other elven elders couldn’t help but show a hint of despair on their faces.
Where could they find a ship large enough to carry all the elves from Vale Village?
Not to mention defeating a powerful sea beast out there!
Although they were descendants of the survivors of that ancient god battle, due to their isolation, their strength was not strong. Vale Village had a fighting force of only three to four hundred people, and the strongest among them was only at the fourth-tier, level 9. Otherwise, they would have already dealt with the Barbaric Orcs on the other side of the frozen wilderness.
The most hopeless and cruel thing in the world is to give a glimmer of hope and then ruthlessly extinguish it.
Marianne’s heart was in turmoil as she looked at the human before her, who seemed as calm as ever. It was as if she had grasped a lifeline and she spoke in a pleading tone, a tone she herself hadn’t realized.
“Lord Ji Chen, do you have the means to help us leave?”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elven elders turned their eyes to him, their eyes filled with a glimmer of hope.
Since this human could pass through the gateway and even easily slaughter deviant ghosts, perhaps he could help them leave.
Ji Chen felt their gazes and nodded slightly, but he didn’t continue speaking.
There are no free lunches in the world, and everyone understood that.
An elven elder, second only to Marianne in status and at least a thousand years old, stepped forward and said, “As long as Your Excellency can lead us out of this place, we are willing to offer generous rewards.”
“Yes.”
Marianne’s eyes flashed with determination. “Over countless years, we have collected many rare resources left behind from that ancient god battle in this frozen wilderness. As long as you agree, all those rare resources will be yours.” Ji Chen squinted his eyes slightly.
If he could successfully complete the upcoming task, then helping these elves leave would be a simple matter. Being able to earn a generous reward on top of that was an added bonus.
After a brief consideration, Ji Chen nodded and said, “1 can agree to your request, but I have one more condition.”
“Please go ahead.”
“You need to tell me the location of that divine weapon.”
Marianne hesitated for a moment and exchanged glances with the other elven elders before nodding slightly.
“That divine weapon is in the Fallen Sea..”
