With a mutual glance, they stepped into the tunnel and disappeared into the swirling vortex.

Ji Chen took one last look at the soon-to-be extinguished realm and then moved on, leading the last few heroes of the Crown of the Ocean into the void tunnel.

Not long after they entered, the void tunnel slowly shrank and disappeared. Soon, the endless void energy finally broke through the last defense line, annihilating and a.s.similating everything inside the realm.

On a stretch of sea.

Watching the disappearance of this section of the void tunnel, everyone turned their gaze to their surroundings.

Back on the ocean once again, the territorial protection came into effect, allowing Ji Chen to instantly determine their location.

“We’re still in the southern waters of the Western Mid-Ocean, but closer to the mid-western region. It’s not too far from the Stormy Sea, about a four-day journey.”

After confirming their location, he found Augustus and Elwin, who were observing the appearance of the main world.

“Lord Augustus, Lord Elwin, what are your plans for the future?”

Elvin said, “I plan to lead my people to find a suitable sea area and establish a place to live and reproduce.”

As he spoke, Elvin’s face was filled with sadness.

Although they had successfully escaped, the Ocean Pixie tribe had suffered severe damage. More than 3,000 of their 7,000 members had died during the evacuation and escape, leaving them seriously weakened.

What was even more crucial was the scarcity of warriors, with only a small force of fewer than a thousand, making self-defense a major concern.

Seeing Elvin’s concern, Ji Chen smiled and said, “My territory is not too far from here. If you’re willing, you can choose a suitable place around there to settle down, and it will be easier for me to provide a.s.sistance.”

The Ocean Pixie chieftain was overjoyed and quickly said, “In that case, I won’t refuse your kind offer.”

He trusted and felt rea.s.sured by Ji Chen. From the series of events that had occurred earlier, he had come to know Ji Chen’s character and strength.

Ji Chen nodded and then turned to Augustus, asking, “What about you, Lord Augustus? Are you also looking to establish a new home like Lord Elwin?” Augustus hesitated for a moment, but it seemed he had made up his mind He spoke in a deep voice, “Lord Ji Chen, I would like to lead my people to join your territory.”

Ji Chen was slightly surprised but then nodded with a smile, “You are very welcome to join us in the Crown of the Ocean. We always welcome any orderly and kind-hearted race.”

Augustus was relieved that Ji Chen had readily accepted his request. Ji Chen didn’t show any signs of anger or resentment due to his earlier refusal.

The experience of almost losing his tribe had made him realize that the Featherfolk tribe was not a particularly strong race. To have a better chance of survival in the main world and avoid becoming slaves or commodities, they needed to attach themselves to a stronger power.

“Lord Ji Chen, could you tell us about the Crown of the Ocean?”

Ji Chen smiled and said, “Of course, let’s talk about it on the way.”

“Ding- A Featherfolk tribe (5,000 people) has joined your territory.”

“Ding- Featherfolk Hero: Patheia (Legacy Tier) has joined your ranks.”

“Ding- A 6th-tier Featherfolk Warrior Army (6th tier, i-star, 1,500 people) has joined your ranks.”

Apart from their expertise in flying, the Featherfolk race also possessed exceptional building construction skills, which enabled them to construct magnificent and beautiful high-alt.i.tude structures on the floating mountain. This aspect was reflected in their information panel.

[Featherfolk]

[Skills]: Construction Art (Greatly increases construction speed, significantly improves quality, reduces building material consumption by 20%)

Lord Statue (Able to build a special structure: Lord Statue, increasing territory attractiveness and popularity)

At this moment, the Crown of the Ocean was currently under construction, with the magnificent architectural wonder, the Heraklion Temple. The addition of the Featherfolk would accelerate the construction speed and save a substantial amount of resources for the next batch of objectives.

At the same time, Patheia, the Featherfolk hero who had previously offended Ji Chen, also chose to follow her father and swear allegiance to him.

As a Legacy Tier hero, Patheia was not as weak as she had initially thought in the main world. After going through a series of setbacks and battles, her temperament seemed to have settled down, and her strength had barely reached the expected level.

The Crown of the Ocean had gained another Legacy Tier hero!

After four days of continuous travel, Ji Chen and his group finally returned to the Crown of the Ocean.

The Featherfolk tribe was settled on the mountain peak in the northeast of the main island, which used to be a dragon’s nest. There was enough s.p.a.ce and a water source, and the high alt.i.tude suited the living environment of the Featherfolk

Elwin and his people settled in the underwater forest to the east of the New Moon Islands, where the White-scaled Merfolk had once lived. It was not far from the Crown of the Ocean, had good environmental conditions, and the nearby sea creatures had been cleared out, making it a suitable settlement.

Solidus also accompanied them back to the Crown of the Ocean to rest for a while.

After returning to the territory, Ji Chen stayed briefly and then, with Lainekel and Patheia, boarded the Sea Crystal Wyrm and set off towards the Northern Continent.

The news of the demon invasion had to be spread as quickly as possible, and the Elven Empire was the most suitable medium for dissemination.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Elven race was part of the lawful camp, serving as the main force against demons and the forces of evil.

Countless elves perished in the few decades of the divine war, and if there was one race that harbored deep hatred for demons, it would be the elves.

The Elven Empire was immensely influential. If they believed in the demon invasion, they could use their influence to rally other lawful races to discuss and prepare for the fight against the demons.

This was the most effective method Ji Chen could imagine.

Before that, he had no intention of revealing this news.

According to Lainekel’s information, demons had likely secretly informed those races that were once part of the evil camp, waiting for them to rise up when the invasion occurred. Revealing this news abruptly could alert the demons prematurely and lead to an early invasion.

Everything needed to be handled discreetly.

After a day and a night, Ji Chen, standing on the Sea Crystal Wyrm, could already see the bustling coastal city in the distance.

“Sir Lainekel, are you going with me, or will you wait here?” Ji Chen asked

Lainekel looked at his half-human, half-demon body and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll wait here. Otherwise, with my current appearance, I feel like I’ll cause panic as soon as I enter.”

As he said this, Lainekel’s face seemed somewhat gloomy. Clearly, despite having arrived in his own race’s city and being eager to return to human civilization, he didn’t dare approach because of his current appearance.

Ji Chen understood this emotion and rea.s.sured him, saying, “Once everything becomes clear, people will surely accept you.”

Lainekel nodded with a smile. “I hope so.”

Leaving behind a hundred Sea Crystal Wyrm guards to prevent any unexpected incidents, Ji Chen took the remaining Sea Crystal Wyrms and flew towards the land.

Storing the troops and entering Maple Harbor.

As soon as Ji Chen and the others entered the harbor, they attracted the attention of many indigenous residents and players.

The reason was none other than Patheia, who was following behind him.

The Featherfolk race was extremely rare on the mainland, and now there was one here who appeared extraordinary, like a celestial being.

Many players were immediately excited, and in the eyes of some malicious natives, a greedy glint flashed. Some even approached, inquiring subtly about potential trades.

Ji Chen’s face stayed icy as he glared at them with cold eyes.

A single glance from him stopped the locals in their tracks, sending s.h.i.+vers down their spines and making fear visible on their faces, causing them to hesitate from getting any closer.

They made their way to the Elven Emba.s.sy.

The Elven guards at the gate saw Ji Chen approaching and immediately greeted him respectfully, ushering him inside.

In the familiar reception hall.

“Lord Ji Chen, what brings you here today?” a familiar voice sounded from outside the door. Miligas walked in confidently but paused for a moment when he saw Patheia standing behind the sofa. “Featherfolk?”

However, seeing Ji Chen’s serious expression and sensing something amiss, he put away his smile and took a seat across from them.

A few minutes later.

In the reception hall, Miligas uttered words of disbelief.

“What? A demon invasion!?”
