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

Chapter 514 [The Tower of All Laws]

"It's the energy turbulence caused by the collision of different laws."

"At best, it causes equipment malfunction; at worst, it tears apart the very fabric of matter," Carles explained.

"Like a storm on the seven seas."

"However, its level of danger is far greater than that of ordinary storms."

Shaen stood on the bridge, gazing at the boundless [Secret Sea] in the distance.

"set sail."

With his command, the engines of the Black Swan roared, and the ship slowly rose into the air.

With the coordinates confirmed, the space in front of the bow began to distort, forming a silver jump tunnel.

"Everyone in position, ready to traverse the secret realm!"

Xia En gripped the helm tightly, feeling the vibrations coming from the ship's hull.

At the last moment before entering the passage, he seemed to see the starlight in the distance suddenly dim for a moment, as if it had been swallowed up by something.

But in a blink of an eye.

The Black Swan has entered the jump tunnel, and the surrounding scenery has transformed into flowing, colorful lines.

This journey through the secret realm was longer than any other before.

The ship trembled violently, and sparks flew continuously from the protective shield.

For a moment, Shane even felt that the entire ship was about to be torn to pieces.

Just when everyone was about to give up, a light suddenly appeared outside the porthole—

A dazzling sea of ​​stars came into view.

Countless stars, like jewels, were set against the deep purple sky, emitting a soft glow.

Nebulae drift like veils, forming spectacular whirlpools and rivers.

In the very center of the field of vision, a colossal, silver-white tower stands majestically.

The spire plunges into the clouds, its entire body shimmering with the radiant light of seven-colored laws.

"We've arrived."

Carles' voice was slightly distorted by the shock.

"This is the [Sea of ​​Stars]."

Joey's eyes widened: "That tower...it's breathing!"

Indeed, the entire tower seemed to possess a life of its own, pulsating slightly with some kind of rhythm.

The runes on the surface of the tower flicker on and off, like a heartbeat.

Xia En activated his [Peeping Eyes] and carefully observed the mysterious tower.

In his vision, countless threads of law radiated from the top of the tower, connecting every star in the [Sea of ​​Stars].

These threads intertwine to form a giant net, enveloping the entire secret realm.

Most shockingly, at the top of the tower, Shane vaguely saw a blurry, unseen figure—

That was the outline of a throne.

"【Tower of All Laws】..."

Xia En muttered to himself, and the [Dominator Law] within his body suddenly resonated strongly.

A hazy, gray halo uncontrollably emanated from his body, coalescing into a peculiar symbol in front of him.

The moment this symbol appeared, all the stars in the entire [Sea of ​​Stars] simultaneously brightened by one degree!
But soon, the runes quickly dissipated.

It was as if it had never appeared.

"This is……"

Xia En hadn't had time to ponder the meaning of the rune.

Carles’ voice rang in his ears.

"Captain Shane, look!"

Xia En suddenly turned his head and saw a strangely shaped vehicle in the Star Sea not far away!

This vehicle is entirely silver-white and disc-shaped, and it is capable of navigating the [Secret Sea].

"And over there!"

Meanwhile, Joey also made a new discovery.

In another part of the Starry Sea, a golden chariot is slowly approaching from afar.

The chariot was pulled by nine tall, magnificent, and ethereal horses.

The horse was completely transparent, as if it were formed from starlight. Wherever its four hooves trod, it created ripples of law-like patterns.

The chariot was surrounded by twelve golden runes, each radiating a chilling aura.

This was the first time Shaen had ever seen anyone else cross the Secret Sea using a vehicle!
Moreover, if he looked further into the distance, he could see...

There are many similar places in this [Sea of ​​Stars]!

Some vehicles are approaching the center of the Starry Sea, while others are moving away.

This scene is reminiscent of certain port cities in the world of Seven Seas.

Countless ships came and went.

It was bustling and lively.

Obvious.

Unlike other "closed" [secret realms] that Shane had visited before.

The [Sea of ​​Stars] before us is actually an open [Secret Realm].

Moreover, it frequently interacts and communicates with people from other [Secret Realms].

Shaun's gaze lingered on the strange vehicles, his heart churning with turmoil.

"So... there are places like this in the [Secret Sea]?"

He murmured to himself, feeling an unprecedented shock.

Carles's mechanical eyes flashed rapidly, analyzing the data of the vehicles.

"Captain, the energy fluctuations of these vehicles are very special; they all seem to contain some kind of law."

"It seems that the Star Sea is an important hub in the Secret Sea."

Vivian said softly, "Perhaps, this place connects to many different [secret realms]."

Just then, a silver streak of light flew from the direction of the Tower of All Laws and arrived in front of the Black Swan in the blink of an eye.

The light faded, revealing a figure dressed in a silver-white robe.

This person had a handsome face, with a star mark between his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to contain an endless starry sky.

He stood on the void, bowed slightly, and spoke in a gentle yet authoritative voice.

"Welcome to the Sea of ​​Stars, stranger."

"I am Alvin, the Star Guide, responsible for guiding new visitors."

Xia En warily sized up the other party, the [Dominator Law] quietly activating within his body.

"Hello, Alvin."

He cautiously replied, "This is our first time visiting [Starry Sea], and we are not very familiar with the rules here."

Alvin smiled slightly: "It's alright, every newcomer will receive guidance."

"The Starry Sea is one of the few open-type secret realms in the Secret Sea, and it is also a gathering place for many seekers of the mysteries of the laws."

"The fact that you were able to come here means that you have already touched the threshold of the true Law of Self."

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Xia En for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Especially you… your aura is very special.”

Xia En's heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm: "Perhaps it's because we come from a relatively remote [secret realm]."

Alvin nodded, not delving into the matter further.

"Please follow me. I will arrange a docking place for you and explain the basic rules of the Starry Sea."

He turned and flew towards the Tower of All Laws, with the Black Swan following closely behind.

As the distance closed, the magnificence of the silver-white tower became increasingly awe-inspiring.

The surface of the tower is covered with mysterious runes, each one radiating different fluctuations of laws.

Dozens of platforms of varying sizes float around the tower, on which all sorts of vehicles are parked.

Alvin led the Black Swan to a medium-sized platform.

"This is where you'll be anchored."

He said, "In the Starry Sea, all vehicles must be parked in designated locations and may not be moved at will."

Xia En nodded: "Understood." Alvin continued: "The Star Sea mainly consists of three areas—the Star Harbor Area, the Exchange Area, and the Tower of All Laws."

"【Star Harbor District】is where we are now, responsible for receiving visitors."

"The [Exchange Area] is located on the lower level of the tower and is where trading information and items are exchanged."

"The Tower of Ten Thousand Laws is the core of the entire Star Sea, and only those who are qualified can enter it."

Xia En asked, "How can I obtain the qualification to enter the Tower of All Laws?"

Alvin gave him a meaningful look: "This proves that your understanding of the law is profound enough."

"You can find out the specific details in the [Discussion Area]."

"Furthermore, any form of fighting is strictly prohibited in the Starry Sea. Violators will be expelled, and those who commit serious offenses will be permanently banished to the depths of the Secret Sea."

After saying this, Alvin handed Shane a silver badge.

"This is your identification document. Wearing it allows you to move freely within the [Starry Sea]."

"If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."

Xia En accepted the badge, sensing a slight spatial fluctuation within it: "Thank you."

Alvin nodded slightly, then transformed into a streak of light and departed.

After he left, the crew members immediately surrounded him.

"Captain, this place is truly amazing!"

"I sensed at least ten different fluctuations of the laws!" Joey exclaimed excitedly.

Carles, however, was more cautious: "We need to proceed with caution; the waters here may be deeper than we think."

Xia En nodded: "Let's settle in first, then split up and gather intelligence."

"Carles, you're in charge of checking the status of the Black Swan and making sure it's ready to depart at any time."

"Joey and Jane, go to the [Exchange Area] to gather information, focusing on the entry requirements for the [Tower of All Laws]."

"Vivian and Xiange, come with me to take a look around the outer perimeter of the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws."

Everyone responded in unison: "Understood!"

Soon, the crew members began to act according to plan.

With Vivian and Xuan Ge by her side, Xia En walked along the light bridge extending from the platform toward the Tower of All Laws.

Along the way, they saw all sorts of visitors—

There are mysterious figures shrouded in black robes, engineers piloting mechanical creations, and even alien life forms of various shapes and sizes.

Each one of them exuded a powerful aura.

The weakest among them are all seventh-tier legendary!
Those beings with powerful auras are more likely to be gods of the first or even second energy level!

"Captain, look over there."

The string music suddenly pointed in one direction.

Following her gaze, Xia En saw a group of people dressed in dark red robes gathered in a corner, seemingly performing some kind of ceremony.

Their robes were embroidered with a peculiar symbol—an eye bound by chains.

"That is……"

Xia En's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed a familiar presence.

"A follower of the [God of Blind Fools]?"

Vivian said in a low voice, a hint of wariness flashing in her heterochromatic eyes.

"Why are they here?"

Xia En said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Starry Sea is more complicated than we imagined."

"Let's not alert them yet, let's continue forward."

The three continued to approach the Tower of All Laws, and the closer they got, the more they could feel the immense pressure of its laws.

At the base of the tower was a huge archway, in front of which stood two guards dressed in silver armor.

They wielded long halberds, their auras as deep as the sea, clearly indicating their formidable strength.

A crystal floats above the archway, flashing light from time to time.

Whenever someone tries to enter, the crystal projects a beam of light to scan the person.

Those who are allowed to enter will have a corresponding light shining on them before they can pass through.

Those who are rejected will be pushed away by an invisible force.

After observing for a while, Shane found that very few people were able to enter.

"It seems that the conditions for entering the Tower of All Laws are quite stringent."

he whispered.

Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind:

"Is this your first time visiting [Starry Sea]?"

Xia En turned around abruptly and saw an elderly man with a hunched back standing behind them.

The old man had white hair and beard, and his face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were as bright as stars.

He was leaning on a wooden cane, the head of which was inlaid with a cloudy gemstone.

"Yes, senior."

Shaen responded cautiously.

The old man smiled, revealing a few yellowed teeth: "Don't be nervous, I'm just an old man, here to help the newcomers."

"I see you're quite interested in the Tower of All Laws?"

Shane nodded: "We want to learn more about the laws."

"Hehe, that's what everyone who comes to [Starry Sea] says."

The old man pointed his cane at the tower: "But only one in ten thousand can get in."

"why?"

"Xiange couldn't help but ask."

The old man glanced at her, his gaze lingering on her dragon wings for a moment: "Because the Tower of All Laws only recognizes those who truly understand the essence of the laws."

"See that crystal? It will test your understanding of the laws."

"Only those who meet the standards are qualified to enter."

Xia En asked thoughtfully, "What are the testing standards?"

The old man smiled mysteriously: "Everyone is different."

"Everyone is different?"

Xia En frowned slightly and pressed for an answer: "What does this mean?"

The old man tapped the ground lightly with his cane, and the cloudy gemstone shimmered faintly.

"The Tower of All Laws will sense the essence of your soul and conduct a test based on the law domain in which you are most proficient."

"Some need to solve a spatial puzzle, some want to demonstrate the exquisite control of the laws of fire, and others..."

His gaze swept meaningfully over Xia En.

"Perhaps I need to prove that I am worthy of some special law power."

Xia En's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm: "Thank you for your guidance."

"I wonder what you call me, senior?"

"Just call me Old Star Eyes."

The old man grinned: "I've been in this Star Sea for hundreds of years, that's what everyone calls me."

"Senior Star Eyes."

Xia En said respectfully, "We are new here, and we wonder if we could ask you to be our guide? Of course, the reward will be generous."

A glint flashed in Old Xing's eyes: "This old man likes polite young people the most."

"But not today, I have to see someone important."

He took out a star-shaped crystal from his pocket and handed it to Xia En: "Take this and find me at the 'Stardust Tavern' in the [Exchange Area] at dawn tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"and many more."

Xia En stopped him: "You just said 'several hundred years'? Are you not human?"

Old Star Eyes turned around and revealed a mysterious smile: "In the Star Sea, it's best not to inquire about other people's origins casually."

"Some of these beings have existed even longer than some of the secret realms."
