Deep within the "Broken Star Sea", an expansive archipelago consists of a central massive island surrounded by thousands of smaller islands forming the outer boundary.

"Quick, land on the island, speed up! We can’t fall behind other teams, the gods are watching us from behind."

Splish, splash...

A large troop of nearly a thousand people, fully armed, divided themselves into six enchanted adventure ships shimmering with spiritual light, and charged towards the large island in the center.

Driving a large group of Extraordinary individuals to such a ghostly place, apart from the Evil God followers, it clearly couldn’t be anyone else.

However.

Aside from the original lineup of ghouls, blasphemous cultists, corrupted followers, deceitful dream cultists, black wizards of the Black Pyramid, and non-mainstream path Extraordinary individuals.

Additionally, there were the Deep Sea Brotherhood under "Mother of Sea Monsters" Echet, and the Rat People under "Funeral God" Sinotoglis.

Regardless of the sordid relationships between Evil Gods, whether there were irreconcilable conflicts in the past.

At this moment, for that evil plan, they are all tightly united around the interest group led by "God of Black Wings" Sessi.

"Team captains, take note, we have only 8 months this time, and must withdraw for rest before November 24.

If anyone causes irreparable damage to the team due to greed and reckless advancement, even if you’ve become ’living specimens’, I’ll skin you alive!"

A male with short red hair, wearing a silver robe, and taller than an average person, spoke harshly, suppressing a complex group of cultists.

"Yes, sir!"

Beside him, another witch also had a fierce gaze, clearly not easy to deal with.

Her face was covered with disgusting lumps, with a malformed hooked nose, iron-colored teeth, gaunt frame, messy hair, long nails, and clothing made from tattered rags.

These two are the leaders of this troop, "Gulf Stream" Petrich a Tier 4 Sea God’s Son, and Baba Yaga a Tier 3 Peak Grand Witch.

At this time.

Ancient God’s Followers, from July of Sea Origin Calendar year 190, till now, March of Sea Origin Calendar year 192, used nearly two years to obtain enough Remnant Race nails from Zongderilic.

Then transferred to this new outpost.

Each time thinking about the "Evil Dragon" that caused him a bad start with over half personnel loss, Petrich gritted his teeth in hatred (Chapter 748).

Even now, as the Evil God’s troop grows constantly, his hunting troop replenished and even strengthened a bit, but the "Sea God’s Son" still holds resentment toward that guy.

"Haha, the gods praise our achievements on Zongderilic Island, this time allocating us a reset cycle of one year, with Muriya having the lowest per capita Extraordinary level is not bad.

If we went to the reset cycle of only one week, and the Extraordinary are absurdly strong First Civilization Gendaya, that would be a real headache.

Too bad the blood and flesh trapped in ’Time Prison’ are completely uneatable, grandma is somewhat disappointed."

Baba Yaga laughed evilly twice, the hard bones of First Era and Second Era were picked up by successors, she’s fairly satisfied with current treatment.

Ever since the "Lowland Republic" was founded.

Human believers with the Extraordinary profession of [Democracy Fighter] started conquering countries across Source Continent, spreading the light of civilization globally.

Those Evil God’s followers, unsuitable to appear under the nose of True God Church, were all sent to the extremely perilous "Broken Star Sea".

The gods have issued strict orders to their followers, to complete collection work of the nails of four Era Survivors as quickly as possible, to allow the gods to personally construct the [Mythical Battleship: Nagilfa]!

However, regardless of commands, they still highly value their own lives.

Although not witnessing the companions already captured in Time Prison on the territory of Zongderilic civilization.

Yet over such a long time, many Ancient God’s followers involved in this high-risk work have learned through various channels the dreadful consequences if they fail to withdraw from specific areas within the stipulated time.

Those Ancient Remnant Race though still living normally, feel no unusual surrounding phenomena.

But their civilization has been eternally trapped in a past period, its progress completely halted, with no further development or innovation possible.

Continuing to undergo sad cycles, one after another, until eternity.

Moreover, those temporarily vanished companions haven’t utterly died but were excluded from all time lines, nonexistent in the outside, and also in Time Prison.

Only when time returns just before the five-year cycle endpoint "August 1st", approximately a month prior, their initial entry time point into Zongderilic will synchronize with Zongderilic’s time.

Reenacting previously meaningless episodes once again.

Although the Evil God’s Followers are hunting the Remnant Race, no one wants to become an ageless and immortal "living specimen" like them.

...

The time in the Secret Realm quickly arrived at the full moon night.

Whoosh!

A sparkling light dot waving eight light bands, with the help of the powerful propulsion system from the [Life Magnetic Field], broke through the constraints of gravity and surged towards the sky along the spirit-rich passage over Aguirre Ancient City.

Watching Lion King Rhine and the group of Orange Cat Knight Tom waving goodbye below, Aiven glanced around at Olivia, Milan, and Jelos by his side, gently tapping the [Libra Balance Holy Sword] at his waist.

That day, after ambushing and killing Iron Man’s [Giant Shield of Ten Thousand Walls], they didn’t let the remaining two Tier 4 Transcendents escape.

Especially when the outstanding representative of the Ceramic People’s new generation, "Bright Silver" Jelos, arrived, he launched a righteous backstab on the Cyan Porcelain Knight and General Black Pottery who were caught off guard.

The rest took advantage of the moment and surged forward; neither of the high-tier transcendents were allowed to escape, and the most precious spoils, the Divine Artifact [Iron Wall], naturally fell into Aiven’s hands.

Although [Divine Shield] was exceedingly precious, Lion King Rhine, as the force representative, did not furrow his brow at this distribution method.

Compared to Aiven’s favor towards the entire Animal Kingdom, even a divine artifact seemed insignificant.

Moreover, after the [Giant Shield of Ten Thousand Walls] and the two powerful Tier 4 transcendents fell, strategic initiative had already returned to the Animal Kingdom.

Coupled with the restored [Eternal Essence], it won’t take long for the Mushchinu Kingdom of wise animals to firmly suppress the Ceramic People Aviru Kingdom.

Having obtained the [Divine Artifact: Iron Wall], Aiven did not interfere in the disputes of the two groups, understanding the reasoning of "a favor for a meal but a grudge for a fight," although not entirely accurate, avoidance was preferable when possible.

However, the [Libra Balance Holy Sword], eager to attempt, provided him a piece of good news at this time.

This sword’s former owner was Demeter, the Goddess of commerce, law, and prosperity, who was also the deity closest to the concept of "capital" in continental history.

Thus, it offered Aiven very convenient "outsourcing" and "pre-charge" services.

[Libra Balance Holy Sword] could use Demeter’s remaining authority to absorb the [Divine Artifact: Iron Wall], leaving Aiven with [Divinity], so he wouldn’t face the dilemma of being unable to handle the unbreakable artifact.

"Pre-charge one hundred and get twenty free, no tricks, dear!"

But Aiven wasn’t prepared to crush and recycle a divine artifact just yet; it might come in handy someday.

After all, he and his sister’s strength was still quite far from a "Titled Sacred Artifact," and it’s not urgent at the moment.

Yet, he could still dream of a beautiful future.

Once he advances to Tier 4 and possesses the power of a Crowned Wizard, along with a [Titled Sacred Artifact] capable of threatening demigods, he won’t be the easily crushed weed in front of those Tier 5 evil gods.

Under the silver moonlight, the [Gem River] abruptly disappeared, having already effortlessly broken through the vast Secret Realm at a speed of three Mach.

"Objective ’Aerial Garden (N21°, W158°)!’"

...

In the depths of the "Broken Star Sea," on a giant island with two large rivers running through it.

A middle-aged man in a black wizard’s robe sat in a splendid palace, recording:

"Following clues from the Mushchinu Kingdom, it’s already the second month since entering this island nation.

It’s truly amazing, unbelievably so, that such a highly developed civilization exists in the Material World!

The Renaissance has just begun among human countries of the Source Continent, and the scientific buds just emerging. Anyone other than wizards found water power and animal power to be extraordinary energy sources.

But this Muriyan civilization has already created new species with bioenergy—no, rather biological weapons!

The wise and insightful Nebuchadnezzar has invited me to be a Sage (Scientist) in this miraculous country, and I must uncover the secrets hidden within this great civilization.

The key to resolving the Mushchinu Kingdom’s predicament must lie here...."

Putting away his Witchcraft Notes, the middle-aged wizard looked out the window.

There, a towering high tower stood like a mountain ridge.

On the ground, countless people were busily transporting bricks, stone paint, plaster, and other construction materials, transporting them up the spiral staircase to the high tower top.

Among the clouds, a magnificent "Aerial Garden" was nearing completion.

"The power of mortals can also make gods tremble! Heaven-Reaching Tower!"
