I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 479 - 479 478.Deep Sea_1

Chapter 479: 478.Deep Sea_1 Chapter 479: 478.Deep Sea_1 Once again spat out from that narrow yet warm spot, Lu Ban had gotten somewhat used to it.

However, this time he immediately felt the icy seawater.

The water rushed into his nose and mouth, bringing with it a filthy taste, soaking into his lungs, causing the organ to expand.

Several gashes opened up around Lu Ban’s neck, which acted like the gills of a shark, opening and closing to draw in the water and extract what was necessary to keep his body functioning.

Only then did he realize that the seawater here lacked oxygen.

It didn’t contain the elements he was familiar with, and this water wasn’t H2O but rather a semi-transparent liquid with a higher viscosity.

Still, there indeed were some substances within this water that could sustain normal life, which might be this world’s version of oxygen.

He began to sink, the density causing even greater water pressure, making Lu Ban feel compressed.

Alongside him, slippery tentacles emerged from under the hem of Feng Yu’s clothing, maintaining her depth and preventing her from sinking.

“Help!”

Lu Ban called out, his voice spreading through the thick seawater, sounding strange.

Feng Yu reached out a hand and grabbed Lu Ban, lifting him up.

“Can’t you swim?”

Feng Yu asked.

“The water here is a bit difficult to swim in.”

Lu Ban spoke honestly.

In fact, he could simply sink to the ocean floor and walk, but he had no idea how deep this part of the deep sea was.

“Is this the deep sea?”

Lu Ban looked up. According to common sense, there should be some light piercing down from above the ocean, which on Earth would form different ecological layers.

But here, it was pitch dark above.

In the deep sea, darkness surrounded him from every direction.

The only thing that could be considered a source of light was certain plankton.

These plankton emitted bioluminescence, illuminating the surroundings, extending for tens of thousands of meters, and making the place less dark.

If Lu Ban had claustrophobia or thalassophobia, he would certainly be suffocating by now.

Oh, he was already suffocating, so never mind.

“The deep sea is like this. There is no surface layer to this body of water. Once, Tide Summoners tried to explore the boundaries, but they all died halfway. Later, with their extraordinary powers, the Tide Summoners detected that this world’s ocean had no bounds, or rather, like the universe, even if there were boundaries, the Tide Summoners’ current abilities would not be enough to reach them.”

Feng Yu explained.

“What about the civilization level of those little fish men?”

As Feng Yu dragged him through the water, Lu Ban asked.

“Since the deep sea is so vast, several empires of Tide Summoners were formed, differentiated only by the Divine Beings they believe in. But regardless of the empire, they all worship an Ancient Overlord, who, according to the legends, ruled over oceans, dreams, and all imagination. In the legends of the Tide Summoners, this sea region was created from the dreams of that Divine Being, who, when a specific time comes, will awaken to lead the Tide Summoners to a glorious beyond.”

Feng Yu replied, while noticing some ferocious fish devouring the glowing plankton. Due to a diet of such creatures, they themselves had begun to shine.

“You should have collected almost enough by now, right?”

With roughly sixty to seventy thousand Eye Demons, Lu Ban’s fear and screams should have been completed long ago.

“Indeed, but since I’m already here, I ought to leave something behind.”

Lu Ban answered.

“…”

Feng Yu had no comment.

“Where is the nearest Tide Summoner empire to us?”

Lu Ban considered the question. Since he didn’t need to collect as much fear and screaming, this time he could focus on collecting Tide Summoners.

Ever since he gathered many Misty City people in Misty City, Lu Ban found that his [Mysterious Amusement Park] evolved at an astonishing rate.

After consuming many Eye Demons, the [Mysterious Amusement Park] had even evolved new attractions.

In the grand parade, there was a certain chance that a four-eyed Eye Demon would appear as a hidden surprise, and a new 3D theater was established, where one could see how the Eye Demons’ Dusk City had declined—an exciting and stimulating 4D experience.

As for the Misty City people, besides enhancing the roller coaster experience, turning it into a flying roller coaster, they also added the ability to control the weather.

So, Lu Ban was curious if adding some Little Fish Men might unlock an aquarium.

“It’s about a five-day journey from here. The Tide Summoners live quite scattered, and while it’s called an empire, by human standards, it’s more like a slave society, with most Tide Summoners needing to hunt other fish for a living,” Feng Yu explained.

As she spoke, Feng Yu glanced at Lu Ban.

“What kind of wicked idea do you have now?”

She now felt that if Lu Ban were an Evil God, he would definitely be one who valued fun over survival, the type who might just amuse himself to death.

“No, no, I’m just planning to set up an amusement park here and wait for the fish to swim into the cage.”

Lu Ban was quite honest.

Since he had already met the requirements, and he wasn’t the type to take pleasure in the suffering of others, he could just collect some fish and go back.

After a few days, they approached one of the empires, where Lu Ban dropped the amusement park and then immediately left.

“The taste of the fish here isn’t great, too bland.”

Along the way, they sampled various kinds of fish.

But perhaps due to the water quality, the taste of the fish wasn’t good—probably only Shia would find them delicious.

As Lu Ban and Feng Yu waited nearby, they planned to explore this Foreign Domain to prepare for future tasks.

However, they soon encountered trouble.

“There’s something following us at a position several miles away.”

Under the sea, sound was a better means of observation than sight, and Lu Ban heard the movements in the water.

“This thing has been following us for several days, always keeping a certain distance. It’s clearly tracking us.”

“…Perhaps you really are about to receive divine retribution.”

After giving it some thought, Feng Yu had her suspicions.

Meanwhile, at a certain distance from Lu Ban and Feng Yu, a Tide Summoner lay hidden in the dark waters.

In his field of view, bloody and brutal text gradually emerged, forming the System’s mission targets.

[Find the enemy Chosen by Gods invading the Deep Sea: 1/1]

[Kill the hostile Chosen by Gods: 0/1]

“As I thought, this guy is the invader.”

The Tide Summoner thought to himself that he had just finished a mission and was about to rest when he suddenly received an urgent task to hunt down a Chosen by Gods who had invaded this Foreign Domain.

After spending several days searching, he had finally located the other party.

This was his home turf, and this Chosen by Gods named Gaga was confident. Moreover, the enemy had no way of detecting him. He was cautious, ready to find an opportunity to sneak attack and silently kill his foe.

He was poised to strike.
