Chapter 570: Chapter 376: Three Legends in One Family (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Above the unexplored oasis, various colossal and ornate vehicles floated in the air.

These vehicles were all of considerable size; the oasis itself was too narrow. Many of the massive bodies were still hanging over the edge of the oasis, reaching into the dense grey fog.

However, as the four dominant forces arrived, the fleets, palaces, fortresses, and airships suspended at the highest point each diffused divine light, which astonishingly dispersed the surrounding fog. Within tens of thousands of meters around, only wispy tendrils of thin mist drifted, with the sky’s faint light above and the grey waves of the tide below.

These waves were none other than the Filthy Sea.

The Shattered Sea was a generic term for the region, while the Filthy Sea specifically referred to the entire body of water in the region, which was a dark grey akin to sewage discharged from drainage pipes.

In fact, this water was far more toxic than sewage by many orders of magnitude. A mere touch meant deadly poison, and even the mighty would pale at the corrosive pollution. Moreover, the number of Mysterious Evils wandering in the Filthy Sea was far higher than the average across the Great Domain.

On the surface of the Shattered Sea, the degree of danger was several times lower than in the foreign territories.

But beneath the surface of the Shattered Sea, the level of danger was dozens of times higher than that of the foreign territories. This was also why the eradication of the catastrophe’s source had been postponed time and again, a troubling issue even for mythicals.

"Even now, the various powers within the Shattered Sea are only superficially united. If everything goes smoothly, it’s fine, but if there are complications, I fear..."

Within the oasis, the teams from various powers were fully equipped, their gear resplendent, each radiating halos of light. Yet, if one were to look down from high above, it would become evident that the style and fashion of the equipment worn by these teams were completely distinct, and they kept a considerable distance from one another.

This was an elite mixed-soldier team.

Fang You couldn’t help but criticize: Such teams were hard pressed to even cooperate without tripping over each other’s feet.

However, that was to be expected. Beings of mythical status are held in the utmost reverence, and none wishes to be subordinate to another. The notion of having two mythicals team up for a mission was nearly an impossibility.

This time, it was due to the dominant forces taking the lead and the presence of demigods that some noncompliance was reluctantly suppressed.

Even so, the teams of the dominant forces would not converge together but would proceed separately.

Led by demigod and mythical-ranked powers of the dominant forces, along with other mythicals and Ordinary Awakened, they would venture deep into the Filthy Sea to investigate the source of disaster. Prior to this, the mythicals had the freedom to choose their teams.

——Even if they hail from third-rate superpowers, mythicals are esteemed beings, eligible to converse with the mythicals of the dominant forces. Beings such as the Dayfall Overlord, a demigod, wouldn’t intercede in such trivial matters to arrange for the mythicals present. This was a basic form of respect towards mythical beings.

However, the vassal forces of the Seven Stars Alliance would inevitably follow the Seven Stars. Superfamilies like the Guyue Lin and Chen, would also naturally proceed alongside the Ancient Moon Dynasty.

Other super guilds, organizations, and mercenary groups not under the control of the dominant forces often had their own areas of operation, usually within territories governed by the dominant forces. Their choices of which dominant force to follow were settled long ago.

Only a very limited number of powers had the liberty to make a choice.

This was the politically correct way of saying it.

In actuality, these powers had no backing and had not ingratiated themselves with any of the dominants, existing on the fringes of the elite circle, with the Blazefire Commerce Guild among them.

Whether they had backing or not, Yiluo Xi and his companions didn’t care; their support was their mentor, with no need for the likes of the Scarlet Lotus Empire or the Seven Stars Alliance.

But being unfamiliar with the four dominant forces and the other powers, the sudden need to choose a team left them with an acute case of decision paralysis!

The three of them muttered among themselves, struggling to make a choice.

Nevertheless, they first ruled out Grand Havoc City. As everyone knew, among the four dominants, one of the shorter ones was Grand Havoc City. And for this mission, they had to dive deep into the Filthy Sea, pushing through myriad dangers and obstacles... While they weren’t afraid, given the choice, they still preferred to pick more reliable teammates.

Which one to choose then? The Seven Stars Alliance, the Ancient Moon Dynasty, and the Scarlet Lotus Empire, all had been longstanding dominant forces, seemingly comparable on the surface.

An invitation came from the Island Master of Shadows.

"Master Qianqiu could consider joining us. It would be good to have some company on the way, and well, the team from the Ancient Moon Dynasty has many strong members and is known for their steady work. You can’t go wrong following them," he said.

Qianqiu looked at him quizzically. He was blunt, "So it turns out you do have a backer."

The Island Master of Shadows choked a bit on his words.

Perhaps because he had been choked up several times already, he started to grow accustomed to it and shook his head, saying, "My Island of Shadows mainly operates within the Ancient Moon Dynasty’s jurisdiction, but we’re not to the point of having connections with the dynasty proper."

"However, I do know a mythical from the Guyue Chen family and have a small familiarity with them."

In this regard, he considered himself vastly better off than the truly marginal figures like Qianqiu! With this thought, the Island Master of Shadows displayed a small smile, perhaps reveling in the simple joys unique to high-ranking but unpretentious mythical beings.

The Scarlet Lotus Empire was known for acting swiftly and decisively, and in a short time, it was time to depart.

Mythical beings gradually gathered at the northwest, northeast, southeast, and southwest positions, some sitting cross-legged, others standing with closed eyes, and some conversing in pairs or threes. It seemed that many mythicals, heeding the Dayfall Overlord’s emphasis on the peril of the journey, opted to leave their attendants behind and venture into the sea alone.

The Island Master of Shadows left his warship on the oasis, bringing not a single person with him.
