Chapter 603: Chapter 604 Unique Marine Creatures_1

"Yeah, they are the same," he said.

"How is that possible!"

Guo Huai couldn’t help but retort. The so-called Starlit Sea of the Federal Era referred to the physical world in the previous world that bore all the stars; it was an entire universe. Whereas their current world lacked the concept of planets and was one where the sky was round and the Earth was square.

Guo Huai was unaware of the starry sky created by the Divine Beasts overhead. Although it contained stars, it was used as a battlefield, making it inaccessible to humans. Thus, Guo Huai, who could only access human-recorded data, didn’t know about the existence of the starry sky and assumed that the heavens above were no more than a kind of texture mapping.

"It’s all rudimentary, who knows? Maybe the Starlit Sea will eventually become a real starlit sea, or perhaps it will always stay like this—who knows—"

Feng Yuan wasn’t just talking nonsense; not all worlds adopted the form of a universe. There were all sorts of strange world forms, and even Feng Yuan wasn’t clear on what this world would ultimately become.

"Let’s go—let’s explore some other places—"

As Feng Yuan spoke, he signaled to Kui Shui Xuanwu again and gently maneuvered the surrounding sea water. Kui Shui Xuanwu led everyone away from the Nien Wheel wreckage, descending once again beside a cliff until they arrived at a huge seabed plain.

The seabed plain was covered with strange aquatic plants, some resembling shrubs, some like grass, and there were even odd plants with huge membranous structures wrapping around glowing fruits.

"Is this the seabed?"

Astonished by the plants completely different from those on land, Wei Dingwu exclaimed as Liu Wenli watched the plants intently. She had dived into the seabed before, but that was only in the shallow waters near the beach, which couldn’t compare to the deep-sea scenery. Most peculiar of all were the strange wrecks floating above the seabed plain.

"Not even a Spirit Beast can grow that big—"

Hearing the terrifying roar, Feng Yuan curiously surveyed the distance. Even with his divine sight augmented, he was still unable to penetrate the deep sea. Everyone’s vision was reduced to a very small range; they could only see their immediate surroundings. Despite the terrifying howl, they weren’t anxious, trusting in Kui Shui Xuanwu.

"What is that?"

Guo Huai tried to use the system information panel to see what Spirit Beast was making such a spine-chilling howl, but the system didn’t provide any loopholes—the panel wouldn’t display information about things unseen.

Looking into the distance, Feng Yuan said,

"Island Leviathan, one might say, are floating islands that roam the deep sea."

"Island Leviathan?"

Guo Huai was puzzled and quickly searched the system’s database, but after several keyword changes, he still couldn’t find any useful information.

"Why not go over and see for ourselves? It seems quite docile—"

"You can’t access the information here?"

The phantom of Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, and Feng Yuan nodded,

"It’s not that I can’t, it’s just not easy to access. After all, the Starlit Sea is quite special, you can consider it the lowest layer of the Yang World. Although now there is a Yin World, even if the Starlit Sea were to suffer catastrophic destruction, it wouldn’t be much of an issue, but..."

"Isn’t it better to have less trouble?"

Feng Yuan’s words couldn’t be heard by Mo Li and others; only Guo Huai and Yao Yin could hear them clearly. It was an unavoidable matter. As much as Feng Yuan could be indifferent about other things, he had to be cautious with matters that involved world security. He certainly hadn’t forgotten about that thing in Great Li City.

"So that’s why the Starlit Sea is so special, even we can’t affect it in any way."

"What else?"

"Is it really okay to just go over there?"

Seeing Kui Shui Xuanwu truly heading towards the direction where the howl came from, Mo Li couldn’t help but feel worried. Just by hearing that sound, everyone sensed that the creature would be difficult to deal with.

"Are we going to have a fight?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan with some suspicion. This guy sometimes seemed to enjoy stirring up trouble for the thrill of it, and he couldn’t help but wonder if Feng Yuan was really planning to bring Kui Shui Xuanwu into a brawl with the island Leviathan.

"How could that be? The other isn’t even a Spirit Beast, where would it get the courage to challenge Kui Shui Xuanwu? Although Kui Shui Xuanwu isn’t the kind of Divine Beast like those from Delong Tower that rule over the seas, it’s still a Divine Beast, right? If an ordinary sea creature dares to provoke it, does it have no regard for its own dignity?"

Kui Shui Xuanwu let out a dissatisfied roar. It didn’t feel like there was any dignity in being used as a rental boat. Ignoring the contemptuous glance from Agunas’s phantom, Feng Yuan pointed at the distant, gradually emerging silhouette of the island Leviathan and said,

"Look—that’s the island Leviathan."

As the dark shadow up ahead became clearer, everyone took a cold breath. If Feng Yuan hadn’t kept emphasizing that it wasn’t a Spirit Beast, they would have probably mistaken it for a being of Legendary or even Mythical level.

Behind its disc-shaped body was a series of tentacle-like appendages. Although no one could see how it maintained balance in the water, judging by the sea plants growing on its back, they knew it must have a gentle temperament.

After all, the tiny fish swimming through the plants on its back showed no sign of danger. Guo Huai looked at the island Leviathan, and then at the back of the Kui Shui Xuanwu beneath their feet, and curiously said,

"Why do I feel like the two are somewhat similar?"

"There’s a big difference. The island Leviathan simply can’t actively maintain the ecosystem on its back, but Kui Shui Xuanwu is different. The current environment on this island is just because it likes it that way. If it wanted, it could fill its back with water and raise fish without any difficulty."

"And..."

Feng Yuan looked towards the island Leviathan and sighed,

"It can only live in the depths of the Starlit Sea; it’s simply incapable of leaving the depths of the Starlit Sea."

"To think that a creature with such an appearance is just an ordinary being..."

Mo Li exclaimed, deeply surprised by the massive body of the island Leviathan. He still couldn’t believe that a creature that seemed like a miracle was not a Spirit Beast.

"After all, it’s the Starlit Sea. It’s quite normal for strange things to be here."

Feng Yuan wasn’t particularly amazed by this. The Starlit Sea itself was the most peculiar place in the world, and that was precisely why ordinary humans simply couldn’t penetrate its depths. All manner of bizarre things resided there, not things ordinary humans could handle, even with the help of Legendary or even Mythical level Spirit Beasts.

"Are there no Spirit Beasts deep in the Starlit Sea?"

Guo Huai asked Feng Yuan doubtfully, noting that he hadn’t seen a single system message in view. Even if his system was lacking information about the depths of the Starlit Sea, he thought he would at least recognize aquatic Spirit Beasts.

"Not sure, but there might be none or very few. Apart from Divine Beasts, they still need to eat, and the stronger they are, the more they eat. It’s not certain that the depths of the Starlit Sea have enough resources to sustain them."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he looked around. While the occasional deep sea fish swam by, there were much fewer of them compared to the shallower regions. As for surviving on the sea plants? Feng Yuan didn’t think the growth rate of those plants at the bottom of the ocean was very fast.

Looking at the somewhat barren seabed, Guo Huai scratched his head. He also knew that the stronger the Spirit Beast, the higher its food requirements would be: either energy-rich or abundant in quantity. In short, unless the food source was extremely plentiful, an ordinary place couldn’t support even a few Legendary level Spirit Beasts.

Given the barrenness of this place, let alone Legendary level, it would be difficult to support even a Rare level one. Most Spirit Beasts are gregarious, and even if they don’t live together, they often occupy certain ranges. Even so-called solitary Spirit Beasts would mingle with others.

Loneliness is not an emotion exclusive to humans; Spirit Beasts feel it too, perhaps even more acutely. Most Spirit Beasts are afraid of being alone. Once isolated, they would seek out other nearby Spirit Beasts, and if none were around, they would likely migrate elsewhere.
