Chapter 414: Two Dimensional Keys, Sonia’s Compromise, and Terrifying Undercurrent
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As for what came next, Ji Chen had already guessed most of it.
With the continuing rise of sea levels and the loss of support from the Sea Clan, the people of the Mystic Realm had no choice but to migrate to higher ground, ultimately struggling to survive on scarce land.
Meanwhile, the ocean that gradually occupied most of this realm brought unprecedented prosperity to the Sea Clan.
One of the two most powerful servants of the past, the current Lord of Coral, Sonia, chose to leave, but she still cared about humanity, yearning for the human civilization that had nurtured them like parents.
Therefore, within the Coral Palace, human architecture, layouts, decorations, and even manners and actions were meticulously replicated everywhere.
Sonia noticed the change in Ji Chen’s expression and smiled gently.
“It seems that you have already figured out what comes next, so 1 won’t waste effort recounting it.”
Ji Chen nodded slightly.
“But 1 have a question. What do you want me to do by telling me all this?”
The question had come, and Sonia had revealed the long-hidden secret of this realm to him, not simply to tell a story.
He couldn’t believe that his charisma alone could make Sonia, whom he had just met, go to such lengths. There must be something she needed from him.
She gave a bright smile.
“Indeed, you are an intelligent person. I do have a favor to ask of you.”
“You should have seen the metal archway in the Luminescent Forest, haven’t you? That used to be the portal they used to enter and exit the main world, but they closed it when they left.
I hope you can use that archway to reconnect the Great Luminescent Sea with the outside world.”
Ji Chen furrowed his brow slightly.
Sonia, as one of the rulers of the Great Luminescent Sea, naturally knew more secrets here that were not known to the public. She probably had already learned about his visit to that ruin from the Half-Fish Being leader.
After some consideration, he spoke.
“If you just want to go outside and take a look, you can use the Mystic Realm Gate I came through now.”
“But that’s only a temporary opening, isn’t it?”
Sonia shook her head. “What I want is to permanently connect the Great Luminescent Sea to the outside world, just like it was thousands of years ago, so that it can be entered and exited at any time.
If you haven’t seen it, you might get used to it, but after experiencing the splendor and conflicts of the outside world, you’ll start to find the petty conflicts of this small piece of land over the centuries increasingly distasteful.
I hope that the Coral Palace can witness a broader world, rather than spending life meaninglessly in the small Great Luminescent Sea, even if it means paying the cost of life.”
Ji Chen nodded in realization. So that’s it. As one of the proudest “servants”, Sonia might have followed humans to the main world before.
In common parlance, it’s like seeing the nightlife of the outside world and finding it hard to tolerate the monotony of life here. He seemed to understand such feelings.
Ever since he left the New Moon Islands and saw the prosperity of the continent and the abundance of powerful individuals, he couldn’t bear to stay confined on the islands. He wanted to venture outside to witness more prosperity, defeat more enemies, and conquer more powerful beings.
And this request happened to align with his plans and desires.
“But to activate that Mystic Realm Gate and make it permanent, we need a dimensional key and a ma.s.sive, stable source of energy.
I can handle the latter, but I have no clue about the whereabouts of the dimensional key…”
“I know where both dimensional keys are.”
Ji Chen looked at her in surprise and quickly realized, “You mean there are two dimensional keys?”
“That’s correct.” Sonia nodded. “I’ve observed their operation on one occasion and learned the secrets behind them.”
“One dimensional key is used to anchor a specific location in the outside world, while the other is used to activate the archway at that location. After the archway is activated, the Great Luminescent Sea will establish a stable portal with the main world.”
Ji Chen nodded; this explanation sounded reasonable.
You could liken the Great Luminescent Sea Realm to a s.h.i.+p, the main world to the seabed, and to keep the s.h.i.+p fixed on the sea’s surface, you needed to throw an anchor into the sea. The two dimensional keys were the two ends connecting the s.h.i.+p and the seabed.
“I can agree to your request, but I want to tell you that I didn’t come here just for a casual visit.
I want something far more than you can imagine.”
Sonia replied without hesitation, “As I mentioned earlier, I can sacrifice everything, even my life. The Coral Palace has collected a vast amount of treasures and resources from the Great Luminescent Sea over thousands of years. They can all be offered as rewards if you desire.”
“But what if what I want is the entire Great Luminescent Sea?”
Sonia looked up at Ji Chen in shock, and only when she saw his undeniable ambition on his face did she realize that he wasn’t joking.
His heart was in turmoil.
“Consider the pros and cons carefully, and then tell me the location of the dimensional key.
Of course, if you choose not to tell me the location of the dimensional key, it doesn’t matter. The iron boots of the Ocean Crown’s army will march across the entire Great Luminescent Sea until they find it.”
After speaking, Ji Chen looked at her quietly, waiting for a response.
At the same time, the Ocean Crown’s army stationed outside the Coral Palace abruptly began to move. Legions of soldiers marched out, surrounding the Coral Palace with a menacing aura.
Once the Lord’s command was given, they would not hesitate to raise their weapons and exterminate all life here..
