We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 418 The Transformation of the Seven Seas World!

The moment the words fell.

The ritual instruments on the ground burst forth with intense light, and the entire square was enveloped in a deep blue glow.

Within the crevices of the Eternal Coffin, the chilling aura grew increasingly intense, as if it were about to devour everything.

Lyra's figure began to blur, as if she were being peeled away from reality.

A faint smile appeared on her face, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes.

She glanced back at herself.

It was as if he was staring at Xia En, who was browsing through this memory!

"I'm sorry, Shane."

Her voice was like a candle flickering in the wind, faint yet clear.

"In the end... I still failed to fulfill our promise."

next moment.

The entire memory scene fell apart.

Xia En also returned to reality from her memories.

At this moment, he was still above the icy sea.

Beside her was the closed [Eternal Coffin], and Anne, who had removed her helmet.

Looking at her familiar face.

Shane finally understood the relationship between Ann, Vivian, and Lyra.

In essence, both Ann and Vivian are actually part of Lyra.

However, due to their own reasons, they have become what they are today.

Compared to the Lyra of the past, they have become completely independent individuals.

That's why Vivian said that.

She is both Lyra and not Lyra.

Xia En looked at An and asked with concern.

"Are the curses and misfortunes that have beenfallen you gone?"

"It's okay now."

Ann explained, "After the death of the Great Sin Apostle, the world will of the Seven Seas will focus on eliminating the anchor points left by the Filthy Deity."

"And the misfortune that befell me will also disappear."

"However, there is one more thing I must remind you of."

"With the lifting of the seal on the Seven Seas World by the Fel God, the rules and state of this entire [Secret Realm] may undergo tremendous changes."

Xia En raised an eyebrow: "What does this mean?"

An continued, "The power of the Filthy Fate has not only caused terrible disasters, but it has also stimulated the will of the Seven Seas World."

"It's like a muscle that regenerates after being torn, becoming stronger."

"Having survived this disaster, the Seven Seas world will undergo an amazing transformation."

"For example, a nearby [secret realm] that has a certain relationship with the Seven Seas World will become one with it."

"For example, the laws of the entire world are sublimated, and the upper limit of the rank of the Mystic Path practitioners is raised!"

Xia En seemed to be deep in thought, and murmured to himself.

Will the nearby [Secret Realm] merge with the Seven Seas World?

The first thing that came to his mind was the [Forge Realm] he had explored before, as well as the [Elf Realm] and [Dragon Nest] after the migration of the elves and dragons.

If these [secret realms] are reintegrated into the Seven Seas world.

Therefore, the area of ​​the entire Seven Seas world will be several times larger than before!
That's when.

boom--

A deep rumble came from the depths of the icy sea, as if some enormous power was awakening.

The ice beneath Shane's feet trembled slightly, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

He instinctively took a step back, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

"This is……?"

Xia En frowned and asked.

An's expression also became serious.

She looked up at the sky, where the originally gray sky was now being torn apart by strange rays of light, as if countless ribbons of light were shuttling through the clouds.

Those lights were not simply bright lights, but rather carried a rhythmic pattern, as if re-weaving the structure of the world.

Not only Xia En and his group, but all the legendary powerhouses present, and even the far-off [Northern Expeditionary Force], witnessed this shocking scene.

"What...what is this?"

Even with Musa and his companions' extensive experience, this was the first time they had ever witnessed such an incredible scene.

And very quickly, Musa's expression changed.

"My secret power..."

He quickly realized that his connection with the Lord of Light seemed to have become closer.

It's as if the barrier that once separated him from the gods has thinned out.
This allowed Musa to perceive more clearly the power contained within the radiance.

Take a moment to carefully observe.

It seems that even the realm that has been difficult to advance for decades is showing signs of loosening!
Legends like Thunder Overlord and Star Elder also shared similar feelings.

"The will of the world is reshaping the laws."

An explained softly, "After the power of the Filthy Fate was completely eliminated, the Seven Seas World finally ushered in its rebirth."

"As it is elevated, those who follow the secret path will also be able to benefit from it."

"—Especially for those who are at the legendary level or above, the feeling will be even more pronounced."

Shaen asked, "How long will this change last?"

"I don't know."

Ann shook her head: "The awakening of the world's will is a complex process that may take several days or even months."

"But one thing is certain: this transformation will make all creatures in the Seven Seas world even stronger."

Xia En looked up at the distant sky.

Within the dazzling band of light, some enormous phantoms appeared faintly, resembling vast landmasses.

That is precisely a sign that other [Secret Realms] are gradually approaching the Seven Seas World.

The merging of several [Secret Realms] is only a matter of time.

Musa and the others who were standing nearby heard what An said and were also moved.

Thunder Lord sighed, "It seems that the Seven Seas World is about to usher in a brand new era."

Musa nodded: "Yes, an era full of unknowns and possibilities."

"But in any case, we must face it."

With that, Musa looked around at Shane and the young legends around him, and spoke loudly.

"Young people, the future belongs to you!"

"Now we have fought the glorious battle, finished the journey, and secured the world."

"It's time to return in triumph!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with excitement.

They have been in this frigid and desolate far north for quite some time now.

Now that the great battle is finally over, everyone naturally wants to leave as soon as possible.

It's unclear who shouted first.

"Let's go home!"

Then everyone shouted, "Let's go home!"

The sound echoed in the icy sea, lingering for a long time.

……

……

After a while.

On the battlefield of the Far North Expeditionary Force.

At the moment when the Great Sin Apostle was killed by Shane.

The originally surging waves of filthy creatures quickly collapsed and dissipated, melting away like ice and snow.

The filthy secret power within them disappeared as the world's will cleansed the Filthy Fate.

Those souls imprisoned in filthy bodies were finally freed.

Also vanished were those Blackflame Walkers who either followed or rebelled against the Lord of Cinder.

After the Great Yan vanished, they all realized that they were already dead, and thus truly fell into a long slumber. They gazed at the empty battlefield before them.

On the faces of many soldiers and warriors on the battlefield, expressions of relief and relief at having survived a disaster were evident.

Many people slumped to the ground, panting heavily, their eyes filled with exhaustion and relief.

Many of them had already prepared themselves to die here.

But at this moment, they survived.

Furthermore, I personally witnessed this great victory that is worthy of being recorded in history.

However, many people also perished on this battlefield, and many ships sank completely.

This was a fierce and tragic victory!

At this moment, Moritz, the commander of the Far North Expeditionary Force, had lost an arm and his face was deathly pale, but his eyes were unusually firm.

He announced to the crowd, "Gentlemen, in this battle, we... have won!"

Moritz's voice echoed in the cold wind, carrying an indescribable heaviness and solemnity.

His words seemed to ignite the last remaining flame on the battlefield. Countless soldiers raised their heads, their eyes flashing with complex emotions—grief, exhaustion, but even more so, relief and pride after victory.

"We won!"

These words spread like ripples across the battlefield.

At first, there were only sporadic responses, but they gradually coalesced into a deafening roar.

"We won!"

"We won!"

The sound echoed over the icy sea, as if it wanted to tear this frigid world apart completely.

Despite the joy of victory permeating the air, the scenes on the battlefield remained heartbreaking.

The ice was littered with shattered shipwrecks, and the bodies of countless soldiers lay scattered among them, their blood staining the pristine white surface.

Those comrades who once fought side by side now lie forever asleep in this far north.

Moritz's gaze swept across the battlefield, a hint of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and shouted, "All troops, listen up! Immediately take stock of the casualties, treat the wounded, and recover the bodies of our fallen comrades!"

"We cannot let any hero remain on this icy plain forever!"

As soon as the order was given, the remaining soldiers sprang into action.

Although they were already exhausted, no one complained and no one stopped.

They knew this was their final tribute to their fallen comrades.

Soon, the legendary warriors joined up with the rest of the [Far North Expeditionary Force].

After a tedious and complicated inventory process.

A low, mournful horn sounded in the distance.

That was the rallying cry of the Far North Expeditionary Force, signifying that all survivors were about to embark on their journey home.

A corner of the icy sea.

With the help of Joey and Ann, Shane returned to the deck of the Black Swan.

In the final moments of the battle, he absorbed an extremely terrifying [Power of Annihilation] into his body.

This power is even higher than the original upper limit of the Seven Seas World.

It will probably take quite some time to heal the hidden injuries left by this secret power.

However, when Xia En turned his head, he saw that An, Joey, Faia, Xuan Ge and other crew members were all safe and sound.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

In any case, they all resolved this world-ending crisis and survived it.

As for Ms. Jian, she also needs to recuperate for a while after using that rune.

And on the ice field not far away.

Dark Ice, holding the Flame of the Lord of Cinder, watched them with a smile.

Xia En's original idea was to take An Bing with him when they left the Frozen Sea.

But Dark Ice refused his invitation.

Anbing said she wanted to stay in the Far North for a while longer and visit the place where the Great Yan Kingdom used to be.

Then, she might take Lord Cinder on a journey through the entire Seven Seas.

Dark Ice had planned this trip a long time ago, but King Cinder was always too busy to accompany her.

After their falling out, there was even less chance left.

Now is undoubtedly the best time.

It was a belated honeymoon trip, in a way.

Xia En naturally respected An Bing's decision.

General Moritz was also in the procession seeing them off.

"Captain Shane, I've heard about what happened to you."

"You are an indispensable hero in this battle."

Moritz said softly, a hint of approval in his eyes.

Xia En shook his head, his voice low: "This is not my achievement alone."

"Without the King of Cinder, Vivian, and everyone's sacrifices, we could not have succeeded."

Moritz nodded, his gaze sweeping over the distant battlefield, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, their sacrifice will not be forgotten."

"History will remember them, and it will remember this battle."

"I plan to erect a monument for all the victims of the Far North Expeditionary Force, on the Far North Land and on the Glass Island, so that future generations will remember this war."

"After that, the Federation will hold an award ceremony, and Captain Shane is requested to attend."

"A medal award?"

Xia En was not surprised by this.

In advance, the Seven Seas Federation promised generous rewards to the Far North Expeditionary Force and those who participated in the infiltration operation.

And now, it's time to fulfill those promises.

Even for the Seven Seas Federation, this is a huge fortune.

But Shane believes that the Federation will not withhold rewards for meritorious individuals.

At this time.

Colonel Gold, supported by Carlles, walked over.

He was severely injured in the previous battle, his aura plummeted to legendary level, and he may never be able to break through again.

But he survived.

Gold walked onto the deck, patted Shane on the shoulder, and asked, "Captain Shane, what are your plans for the future?"

Xia En was silent for a moment, then looked into the distance: "Although the Great Sin Apostle has been defeated, the [Filthy Fate] still exists."

"As long as He exists, the Seven Seas will never be truly safe."

"I must find a way to completely end His threat."

"Moreover, the remnants of the Truth Society have not been completely eliminated, which is also a significant hidden danger."

Gold nodded. "That's true."

"But you need to rest now."

Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on God's face.

"Captain Shane promised me that he would take good care of my daughter, right?"

"what?"

Xia En paused for a moment, but still replied, "That's right..."

"Then, I'll leave Carles to you from now on."

As he spoke, Gold patted Carles beside him, gesturing for her to walk forward.

Carles showed no shyness or timidity and walked directly to Shane's side.

"Captain Shane, please guide me in the future!"

This means.

From this day forward, Carles officially became a crew member of the Black Swan.

Before long, the people who came to see him off left the deck.

The Black Swan sets sail once more, heading towards the center of the Seven Seas World.

In the sky, those strange lights continued to twinkle, as if illuminating their way home.
