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

Chapter 420 [The Laws of the Void] [Legendary Title]

Lying on the deck, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

Xia En's thoughts were in turmoil.

Although the [Great Sin Apostle] is dead, the crisis of world destruction has been temporarily averted.

However, this does not mean that he can rest easy and enjoy the rest of his life.

Let's set aside for now the more distant and terrifying "Black Catastrophe".

The Filthy Lord, along with His other apostles, may invade the Seven Seas again at any time.

Moreover.

Shaun also did not forget the deal that Lyra made with the [God of Blind Fools].

Based on what he saw and remembered.

Leila was split into three.

Her past and future became Ann and Vivian, respectively.

But her "present" was taken away by the [God of Blind Fools] and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, her "present" has also lost her original memories and may become a completely unfamiliar existence to Xia En.

But even so.

Shaun could not possibly give up searching for Lyra.

As for Lyra's whereabouts...

When Lyra broke through to the Legendary level, her message in the [Secret Sea] suggested that she might have left some information in the [Secret Realm] where the elves are currently located.
Therefore.

During this time, Shane has been patiently waiting and inquiring about news about the [Elf Realm].

However, he will have to wait until his injuries have fully healed before he can truly explore the [Elf Realm].

Speaking of legends, we must mention the changes in Shane's strength after breaking through to the legendary level.

During the final battle against the [Great Sin Apostle].

Due to the urgency of the situation, Shane didn't have time to carefully examine the prompts on the panel.

But these days, he has had enough free time to examine his transformation after his breakthrough.

Among the various columns of information on the panel, the most noticeable change is the improvement in overall quality.

[Overall Qualifications: 37 → 67!]

That's right, compared to before when it was basically an increase of single digits.

After this breakthrough to legendary status, Shane's overall stats skyrocketed by 30!

It's almost doubled!
It is conceivable how significant the leap to the legendary level is.

This is a sublimation and transformation at a higher level of life.

The saying by the Apostle of Sin, "Unless you become a legend, you're just an ant," does indeed hold some truth.

Moreover, you should know this.

Even before breaking through to the legendary level, Shane was able to defeat ordinary legendary powerhouses.

Upon his breakthrough, he instantly became one of the most outstanding legendary experts.

Although they had never actually fought, Shane felt that he could at least exchange a few blows with a strong opponent like Musa.

However, this time when he broke through to a higher rank, Xia En did not unlock a new profession.

Xia En was initially somewhat puzzled, but after careful consideration, he quickly came to a conclusion—

The so-called "Secret Path Professions" system is merely a unique extraordinary system exclusive to the "Seven Seas World".

He had seen other advancement paths in other [Secret Realms].

Obviously, it's impossible to categorize every [Secret Realm] according to the professions in the [Seven Seas World].

After breaking through to the Legendary level, extraordinary individuals gain the initial qualification to travel within the [Secret Sea], without being limited to any single [Secret Realm].

Since it transcends the original [Secret Realm], it naturally cannot be measured by the original Secret Path professions.

However, several new lines of content appeared on the panel.

[Rule: Void (5%), Death (1%)]

[Title: None available]

The former is not difficult to understand.

It is nothing more than the power of the laws that Xia En mastered after advancing to the legendary level.

The subsequent progress reflects his degree of control over the power of the laws; the higher the degree of control, the better.

This means that the deeper his understanding and application of this principle, the stronger the power he can exert.

As for the "Title" section...

Shaen was also a little confused, but fortunately the panel provided its own explanation.

[Note: When a legendary powerhouse's mark on the "Great Law" becomes clear enough, they will receive a "title" and a certain reward!]

The wider the "title" becomes known, the stronger the abilities or bonuses granted to extraordinary individuals by the "Great Law"!

To be honest, this was the first time Xia En had ever heard of this claim.

But thinking back to the [Thunder Overlord] and [Star Elder] I encountered before.

Looking back now, these were their titles!
This may be why they are more accustomed to using their titles rather than their real names.

Another thing that surprised Shane was...

Aside from the [Law of Death] that was bestowed upon him after the battle with the undead Hanno.

He broke through to the legendary level by relying on the [Law of the Void]!
Although Shane guessed that this must be related to his [Void Secret Power].

But what exactly is the [Law of Void]? Xia En is still a bit confused.

However, Shane was quite clear about its specific applications.

Xia En opened his palm, and a tiny, miniature black hole was slowly rotating in his hand.

It may look small, but it actually exudes a chilling aura of danger.

This small black hole contains the power of the void.

This skill is called [Void Collapse].

It can be seen as an upgraded version of the previous [Great Dark Sky] effect.

Miniature black holes can frantically pull in all surrounding matter and devour the surrounding mystical energy.

The effect is exceptionally powerful.

Another skill that Shane unlocked is called [Void Echo].

[Echoes of the Void]

[Quality: Legend]

[Type: Skill]

[Description: You can echo the information left behind in the void.]

[This allows one to glimpse the past of something, or some hidden information.]

Your perception of spatial fluctuations is becoming increasingly clear, and the range of these fluctuations has greatly increased.

[When used in conjunction with "Peeping Eyes," it will produce unexpected and remarkable effects.]

Compared to the highly offensive skill, [Void Collapse].

【Echoes of the Void】 is clearly an ability that leans more towards reconnaissance and perception.

With the addition of the [Peeping Eye], Shane can obtain more information and unravel more [secrets].

—Although Shane has broken through to the Legendary level, it does not mean that he has lost the profession of [Guardian of Secrets].

Each of his hidden professions and talents will not disappear due to breakthroughs in rank.

Rather, they exist simultaneously.

Therefore, Shane can still obtain gifts and enhance his strength by cracking the [Secret].

In addition to these obvious changes, Shane also felt that his body and soul had undergone some subtle changes.

His senses became more acute, and his thinking became clearer, as if the whole world had become more three-dimensional and richer in his eyes.

This change is not merely an increase in power, but a deeper understanding of the nature of the world.

Just as Xia En's thoughts were churning.

"Captain Shane!"

A clear, crisp voice called out from not far away.

On the deck, Joey, with white hair and red eyes, walked over.

Her steps were light and graceful, her white hair shimmered silver in the sunlight, and her red eyes sparkled with a lively light.

Compared to before, her demeanor exuded more composure and confidence, as if she had undergone a transformation.

With the transformation of the Seven Seas World, Joey naturally benefited greatly. At this moment, her rank had already broken through to the sixth level!
Legends are no longer far away.

at the same time.

The situation that Shane had previously worried about—that Joey would be corrupted by divinity and become unlike himself—did not continue to worsen.

On the contrary, Joey even began to gradually master this divinity and use it for his own purposes.

Her unique aura is proof of this transformation.

Accompanying Joey was Ann, who had taken off her helmet.

Without having to worry about bad luck or curses.

An could easily remove that cumbersome armor she's wearing.

According to An herself, she had gotten used to wearing this armor, and suddenly not wearing it felt a bit strange.

So, after giving the armor a thorough cleaning, she put it back on.

But now, on the Black Swan, Ann will take off her helmet and live a normal life.

Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, which was exactly like Lyra's, Shane couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Looking back now, he still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

The woman he had been searching for had actually become one of his crew members long ago.

If we really have to pinpoint a time point...

This must be done before Shane truly gets to know Lyra.

This makes one marvel at the wonder of the laws of time.

But even so.

Shane knew that Ann was both Lyra and not Lyra.

A person's character is composed of experiences and memories.

According to Xia En and Ann's conversation, she does not remember most of Leila's memories, only some vague fragments.

Her memories are mostly of being adopted, being trained as a knight, and even becoming a member of Shane's crew.

Therefore, in Ann's self-perception, she is Ann, not Layla.

The same is true.

Although Vivian possesses Lyra's memories, she also tends to see herself as Lyra from another world.

It can be said.

Now, Vivian, Leila, and Ann have become completely independent individuals.

They can only be described as three similar flowers.

They each have their own personality, their own choices, and even their feelings for Xia En are different.

"Captain Shane, what are you daydreaming about?"

Joey walked over to Shane and gently patted his shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

Xia En snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

Joey blinked, tilted his head, and asked, "Were you thinking about Lyra?"

After the great battle, Shane told her about Lyra's story, which is why Joey asked that question.

Xia En nodded, not hiding anything: "Yes, even though An and Vivian are right beside us."

“But Leila’s ‘present’ is still missing, and I must find her.”

Ann said, "I can feel it..."

"The [Secret Realm] where the elves reside is getting closer and closer, and it may soon merge with the [Seven Seas World]."

Ann paused for a moment, then continued.

"However, in the remaining memories in my mind, the Elf [Secret Realm] seems to have been enchanted by a special barrier."

"Its original purpose was to protect the Elf [Secret Realm] from being invaded and polluted by the [Filthy Apostles]."

"But now, it has become an obstacle to the fusion of the Elf [Secret Realm] and the [Seven Seas World]."

"If we let it disappear naturally, it may take decades or even hundreds of years."

Upon hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly.

"A special barrier..."

This is indeed a significant problem.

He didn't have that much time to wait for the barrier of the [Elf] Secret Realm to dissipate on its own.

With that in mind, Shane summoned Jane, the most knowledgeable woman on the ship.

These days have passed.

Jane not only recovered from her injuries, but her aura also improved once again.

After that great battle, witnessing the clash of so many laws, and the increase in the concentration of secret energy.

Jane, who was already poised to break through to the Legendary level at any time, naturally ascended to the Legendary level, becoming the second Legendary powerhouse on the Black Swan.

After listening to what Xia En said...

Jane stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "A barrier that envelops the entire [Secret Realm]?"

"This kind of barrier doesn't seem to be something that can be broken by conventional means."

"Like the previous secret realm teleportation ritual, it will probably be blocked from entering."

Xia En asked, "Is there any way to get inside?"

After a moment's thought, Jian said...

"That's still there."

"Captain Shane, I don't know if you've heard of it, but there's a very famous artifact in the Seven Seas, called..."

"【The Shuttle of Destiny】!"

"It is said to be an instrument of the goddess of fate, capable of weaving portals to specific [secret realms]."

"If we find it, we might be able to travel directly into the Elf [Secret Realm]."

"However, this artifact has been missing from the Seven Seas for many years."

"I wonder if mobilizing the Federation's resources will be able to find it..."

Now that Shaen is known as a hero of the Seven Seas, he would most likely be able to get his request fulfilled if he made such a request to the Federation.

But the worst-case scenario is...

Even with the mobilization of the Federation's intelligence network, they were unable to locate this long-lost artifact.

Xia En was frowning and deep in thought.

Hearing their conversation, Xian Ge quickly walked over.

"You just mentioned... [The Shuttle of Destiny]?"

"I've heard that name before!"

Xia En looked at Xiange in surprise: "Where?"

After trying hard to recall, Xiange said.

“I remember, this artifact, it seems... was taken away by an ancient dragon.”

"And that dragon, I should be quite familiar with it..."

"Ancient dragon?"

Xia En suddenly came to his senses.

Since we're talking about ancient dragons, we can't help but mention the recent rumors circulating in the Seven Seas about ancient dragons roaring in the sky.

This means that the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] where the ancient dragon is located is rapidly approaching the [Seven Seas World].

As a result, the ancient dragons, which had disappeared from the Seven Seas, have re-entered people's field of vision.

But what if it really is as the string song says?

The artifact, the Weaver of Fate, was taken away by an ancient dragon.

Therefore, it is very likely that it exists in the [Dragon's Nest] [Secret Realm]!
Moreover, the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] itself is inextricably linked to String Song.

In order to obtain the [Weaving Shuttle of Destiny], a trip to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] seems to be inevitable!

So, Xia En asked, "Xian Ge, can you sense the location of the [Dragon's Nest]?"

"Of course!"

Xian Ge raised its little head and let out a light, cheerful dragon's roar.

"The Dragon's Nest... is calling me!"
