“Tell me.”

“I want to become stronger.” Anina’s face lit up with a hint of desire.

She had always considered herself very powerful, relying on her iron fists to defeat enemies from all walks of life.

Previously, her exceptional combat abilities had earned her recognition and importance.

However, during their recent journey through the frozen wilderness, when facing the Northern Sea Giant Kraken, she felt as helpless as a child. It deeply wounded her pride and left her feeling fearful.

Compared to her colleagues, she seemed to have become less significant.

Benbo had recently reached Legendary Tier and now led the Dragonblood Legion. Alice possessed a unique power of mind control that was irreplaceable. Herald was a Legendary hero who led the Naga Legion, and Sonia controlled the vast Mystic Realms…

Even the defector, Diago, had shone brightly in this war.

It had been a hard-won opportunity for her to find a place that could accommodate and value her. Anina feared being overlooked and abandoned.

Ji Chen looked at the reluctance and confusion in Anina’s eyes, seemingly understanding her concerns. He comforted her by gently patting her head.

In reality, he already thought about helping Anina advance further, but breaking through her potential limits would require more than just rare resources.

[Deep Sea Dragon Whale Hero: Anina J

[This hero possesses the Deep Sea Dragon Whale bloodline but has reached the potential limit. Breaking the potential limit requires additional resources.]

[Requires Rare Resources]: 4 million units of crystals, 4 million units of mithril, 4 million units of adamant.i.te

[Requires Additional Resources]: Higher-level Dragon Whale bloodline

Resources were manageable, but the challenge lay in obtaining the higher-level Dragon Whale bloodline, which left Ji Chen somewhat perplexed.

He slowly conveyed this information to Anina, who suddenly seemed to recall something, her eyes sparkling.

“A higher-level Dragon Whale bloodline? 1 know where to find it!”

Ji Chen was taken aback, “You do?”

Anina nodded. “Our Deep Sea Dragon Whale clan, before reaching the end of our natural lives or when severely injured and near death, would return to the Dragon Whale Abyss to await death. My mother once told me that if 1 ever reached the limit of my bloodline’s potential, 1 could seek a breakthrough in the Dragon Whale Abyss.

We have so many of our kin slumbering in the Dragon Whale Abyss; perhaps some of them possess higher-level Dragon Whale bloodlines!”

Ji Chen’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

Was this about to become a quest to dig up your family’s ancestral grave?

This is incredibly filial, like the utmost respect for the departed!

“If you don’t mind, it’s doable. But Anina, do you remember the location of the Dragon Whale Abyss?”

Anina waved her hand dismissively, looking like a dutiful daughter. “What’s there to mind? The Dragon Whale Abyss is deeply hidden within the bloodline of the Deep Sea Dragon Whale clan. I certainly know where it is.

“It’s not very far from the Stormy Sea and lies in a seabed area at the southern border of the East-West Ocean!”

It seemed like their busy schedule was about to have another item added to it.

With the battlefield now mostly cleared, Ji Chen led the heroes and the army onto the back of the giant turtle and commanded it to head back to the New Moon Islands.

Standing on the sh.e.l.l of the giant turtle and overlooking the ocean was a different experience. The sea appeared as if it were beneath their feet, like riding on an aircraft carrier. With each stroke of the giant turtle’s limbs, they covered a significant distance. It seemed slow, but in reality, it was much faster than riding on creatures like the Lobster Guardian Knights.

Ji Chen contemplated the possibilities. The giant turtle’s sh.e.l.l was oval-shaped, with an area of 2.5 square kilometers. If the Lord of the Waves could build a camp here, even a magical artillery tower, using it as a mobile fortress, then he certainly could as well.

He planned to rebuild the existing camp, including the central tower, and make full use of it.

A war fortress that had abundant firepower, could house recruiting camps, defensive towers, and various facilities, and could accommodate a large number of troops while being highly mobile.

Wasn’t this a perfect otherworldly version of a strategic mobile fortress!?

Just thinking about it, he could see its enormous potential.

Going a step further, if they could implement some waterproof measures, they could even submerge in the sea to evade threats from the sky, increasing its concealment!

A brilliant idea flashed in Ji Chen’s mind. He rummaged through his backpack and quickly found a multi-faced geometric solid with dozens of edges and lines.

He smiled with satisfaction.

[Tidal Surge Core]

[Grade]: Special

[Effect]: Can create a waterless area suitable for land creatures to survive in water.

[Range]: 1 kilometer in diameter

[Duration]: Permanent

This was a possession he had acquired for the first time when he came to the Maple Princ.i.p.ality. It served as proof of his status as Young Master Zhao and was obtained through a player auction in the Black Gold District. He had nearly forgotten about it.

This Tidal Surge Core had been sitting in the corner of his backpack, collecting dust all this time. Unexpectedly, it could come in handy now!

As long as this Tidal Surge Core was placed on the giant turtle’s back, it could create an area that isolated seawater from entering. This would not only allow aquatic races to settle but also enable humans to stay there for an extended period.

Then, they wouldn’t need to swim when going out. They could simply travel on the back of the giant turtle and reach any part of the ocean. This was much more impressive than any s.h.i.+p!

While others used boats for their journeys, he was using a turtle. He could comfortably lie down, bring various facilities with him, and be considered an otherworldly version of a cruise s.h.i.+p.

Thinking about this, Ji Chen couldn’t wait and urged the giant turtle to return to the Crown of the Ocean, ready to start construction.

When the residents of the Crown of the Ocean were informed to return from the underground lizardman world, they were shocked to see the giant turtle floating on the sea like a mountain.

How could such a large turtle be here?

Later, they heard rumors that this giant turtle had originally been the mount of an enemy leader but had abandoned the dark side to join Lord Ji Chen because of its admiration for him.

Or they heard that Lord Ji Chen had effortlessly defeated the giant turtle with his supreme power and forcibly tamed it.

In any case, various rumors and speculations spread across the Crown of the Ocean along with the sea breeze that followed Ji Chen’s triumphant return. Countless residents praised Ji Chen’s wisdom and strength, leading the Crown of the Ocean through another crisis.

When Ji Chen returned, he received the highest honor from the residents. They lined up to greet him, and every face was filled with excitement and joy. Some young girls looked at him with eager eyes, as if they wanted to rush forward and give him a pa.s.sionate kiss, but they restrained themselves due to Ji Chen’s dignity and the watchful gaze of Alice following behind him.

But one person, or rather one elf, rushed forward without any hesitation and threw herself into his arms.

Elisya’s face lit up with joy. “Brother, you’re finally back!”

Ji Chen smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’ve come back victorious.”

“Did you listen to Sister Verena’s advice and protect the New Moon Islands with her?”

“Of course,” Elisya said proudly, tilting her head up. “I’ve been patrolling with my bow, not letting a single fly get through!”

Ji Chen lovingly ruffled her small head and looked at the elves from the Vale Village who were approaching.

“Lady Marianne, I’ve already slain the enemy, thanks to your earlier a.s.sistance in diverting the enemy’s attention, preventing the conflict from spreading to the New Moon Islands.”

Marianne, the leader of the elves, smiled and shook her head. “It was also to help ourselves. 1 couldn’t bear to see such a beautiful island consumed by war.”

Ji Chen didn’t say much and nodded.

“The enemy has been defeated, and the waterway is now clear. In three days’ time, we will set sail for the Maple Kingdom.

But before that, 1 hope you can attend the celebration banquet the day after tomorrow.”

To celebrate the victory over Lord of the Waves and to commemorate the journey of the Crown of the Ocean’s growth, Ji Chen immediately decided to hold a grand celebration banquet.

The residents showed great enthusiasm for this, and under Wikis’ coordination, they began preparations.

Celebration banquets and regular festival celebrations were excellent ways to increase a sense of belonging and cohesion.

Ji Chen intended to create a holiday called Victory Day after defeating the Lord of the Waves, to celebrate the Crown of the Ocean’s ongoing victories and their resilience in the face of challenges.

This also provided a small measure of solace to the now-defeated Lord of the Waves..
