Light Fortress-Chapter 1532 - 226: Setting Sail!

"So you sent your saints to that barrier without setting foot in it yourself?"

Qinglong’s expression was somewhat unpleasant.

He harbored his own motives. Upon discovering that the Storm God’s Throne had dispatched people south to the sea, the first thing he did was notify Tianshui, having the Source Tower Divine Envoy lead a large group of elites to set off immediately, and only then convened this Deep Sea meeting among the highest seats to share information.

This way, the Source Tower could be the first to make a move, while having several others to share the risk!

Yet he never expected that the Storm God’s Throne was completely a madman... "time distortion" and "authority erasure," actually sending saints to sail?

"So, is there any law that says I can’t do that?"

The Storm God’s Throne responded indifferently, "How my saints are used is my right."

The Empress, who had been silent, spoke at this moment, "If a ’time-distorted place’ exists, then how did the first explorers to the Ice Sea return safely?"

"That is not difficult to explain."

The Storm God’s Throne turned back, looking at Lin Lei, "The resistance barrier of the [Ice Sea Ruins] is most likely only effective against the Torch Controllers... especially the ’time-distorted place.’ The entire team from the last exploration returned triumphantly, even the [Angel Envoys] carrying some authority power were not affected."

"[Angel Envoys] were not affected, possibly because they did not perform ’Divine Descent.’" Bai Shu spoke up, "Wearing the emblem does not count as possessing ’authority,’ they are different from us, not constantly enveloped by authority power... the last exploration was smooth, nothing happened, but if authority is truly used, who knows what might occur."

"What you say makes sense."

The Storm God shrugged, "Regardless of the specific truth... it’s an unarguable fact that the ruins do not welcome divine thrones."

"Everyone..."

A deep voice rang out.

"The fate of the Five Continents is now bound together... at this time, the highest seats should unite."

The speaker was the Light God’s Seat.

His entire body was shrouded in a Blazing Light, his face unclear, his voice as solemn and fervent as the sun, "Since a relic has been discovered, for the Southern Continent to venture alone to the Ice Sea would be inadvisable... If they encounter danger, or if they discover a pattern but have no chance to bring it back, it would be a loss to humanity as a whole."

"There are no outsiders here, say what you mean. If you want to send people to the Ice Sea Ruins, there’s no need to beat around the bush."

The Storm God spoke calmly, "I can share the specific coordinates, and I won’t interfere with your southward journey... after all, the exploration of the [Ice Sea Ruins] is not something one force can complete on its own. Even if you don’t believe the information I provided and insist on going to the Ice Sea in person, I would welcome it."

"That won’t be necessary," the Light God’s Seat replied, "I trust you."

"Hehehe."

The Storm God’s Throne gave a sardonic smile, "If you wish to explore the ruins, let me say upfront: I do not guarantee the absolute accuracy of the information on the [Ice Sea Ruins] I just shared. I only stayed there for a few days, without time for pattern exploration. If an accident occurs and some genius perishes, don’t blame it on me."

Upon saying this, he glanced at Bai Shu.

It was clearly a reference to the death of Gu Shen...

After Gu Shen’s death, the Changye Investigation Team, backed by the Battle God Throne, went to the Holy City to demand a hefty compensation.

Without the support of the divine throne, the Storm Church had to pinch their noses and swallow this grievance.

"..."

Bai Shu gazed downward, silently avoiding eye contact with the Storm God.

The Sky and Light God’s Seat exchanged a knowing smile.

"Alright, there will naturally be risks in such missions, and casualties are inevitable..."

The Light God’s Seat spoke gently, "Storm God, you only need to share the specific coordinates of the [Ice Sea Ruins]... we will handle what happens after reaching the ruins."

The power capable of erasing authority!

And the time distortion barrier targeting the "Torch Controllers!"

Just with these two emerging traits... the Ice Sea Ruins have become an important location destined to be explored!

These two powers could both be described as "Divine Miracles."

Human civilization, having developed for six hundred years, has been striving to combat the chaos storm that will one day descend. If the real existence of these [ruins] could be confirmed in the Southernmost Sea, it would be enough to overturn six hundred years of historical understanding.

In places human civilization has never reached, there are already traces of "intelligent life" having lived!

Is this a sign of hope or despair?

No one knows.

After the meeting among the highest seats concluded, the Five Continents each dispatched carefully selected vanguard exploration teams. No one knew what lay within the depths of the Ice Sea... just based on the previous two explorations, everyone had begun to grasp some patterns. To avoid the disaster of "time distortion," the first pioneering team southbound did not include [Angel Envoys].

If the [Authority Power] triggers the "time distortion restriction" around the Ice Sea Ruins, these seafaring explorers, far less perceptive than divine thrones, would most likely remain oblivious.

By the time they return, everything on land would have changed.

By then, the information and clues from the Ice Sea Ruins would have lost their meaning.
