Luckily, Great Wilderness City has a live broadcast.

After Andrew set up three overlapping points where a certain space in Great Wilderness City, Azanen, the Ocean of Stars and Waves, and the Holy Life Alliance intersected, Great Wilderness City had a channel to communicate with Naseng.

Lin Ke dispatched soldiers and guards to defend these three time-space overlaps.

Once everything was ready, Lin Ke brought [journalist] Bingbing to Naseng.

They had to start the live broadcast and publish newspapers to publicize their affairs, otherwise, who knows how their enemies might twist the story.

...

"Splash——"

"Splash——"

The tide surged.

The area where the Lava Swamp used to be was filled with muddy seawater, and some storm seagulls pecked at the corpses of sea beasts on the surface.

These sea beasts disappeared in Great Wilderness City, and as seawater rushed into the giant pit, they were either stunned or killed.

Even high-level magical beasts were not spared.

That was a Lava Swamp larger than 9.6 million hectares from Lin Ke’s past life.

So much seawater rushed in that it even caused earthquakes in some areas of the Gula Kingdom and the Holy Life Alliance, and tsunamis continued along the coast.

At this time, a giant octopus waved its tentacles in the air above this sea region.

Gentle breezes flowed from its tentacles, calming the seas wherever they passed.

Legendary Giant Octopus!

"Damn Duke of Lava..." the giant octopus thought angrily.

It was too sudden!

The area around the Lava Swamp, in name, belonged to the Fishman Kingdom of the Ocean of Stars and Waves, but in reality, it was the territory of Storm Messenger Tai Wu.

Every year, it would drive the excessive marine life to battle the terrestrial life in the Lava Swamp to ease the ocean’s burden.

Terrestrial life did the same, battling marine life and spilling into the territories of the Holy Life Alliance and Azanen to alleviate the pressure on the Lava Swamp.

It was to relieve the ecosystem’s pressure.

Because whether magical beasts or ordinary animals, without any evening entertainment, they all engaged in traditional life-encouraging activities.

And many animals could reproduce prolifically.

Some marine life gave birth in large numbers in one go.

In a peaceful environment, the only way to reduce that pressure was through mutual combat every few years.

But the losses this time were enormous!

As spring approached, countless fish, arthropods, reptiles, and other marine life reproduced in the sea, laying innumerable eggs.

Many creatures perish soon after giving birth to their next generation.

It seemed their life’s mission was just to pass on their genes.

And in doing so, the older generation would fade away in anticipation of new life continuing.

At least they passed on life.

But this transmission was destroyed.

A vast amount of seawater, carrying countless lives and their crystallized genes, was obliterated by the massive energy.

Eighty percent of the life in the Legendary Giant Octopus’s territory died, with only a small fraction surviving due to strong capabilities.

Whose fault is this?

Of course, it’s that odious Count Lin Ke!

Every life in Naseng knows the Lava Swamp belongs to the Duke of Lava.

The grand event at Great Wilderness City, the Giant Octopus attended too.

The distinguished Duke of Lava, backed by the Insomnia Emperor and Andrew.

If not by his own choice, who would dare touch his domain?

So it must be that damn Duke of Lava who absconded with his domain!

Taking the Lava Swamp with him was bad enough, but at least inform it!

It could have evacuated the life in its domain in advance.

That’s over eighty percent of life in this vast sea area...

In the murky water ahead, not only silt but also corpses and blood mixed together.

This isn’t seawater, it’s a muddy mire of blood.

"Whew..." The giant octopus’s slippery tentacles waved in the air, disturbing the laws of wind and reproduction.

Continuous life force spread from its body, and the turbulent, muddy seawater calmed somewhat under its disturbance.

However, at this moment, a powerful law burst forth not far behind it.

Life Principle!

That’s a rule!

A very powerful rule!

The giant octopus quickly turned to look behind.

One must know life principles, or laws, can also kill.

"Natural Cycle."

A calm voice sounded.

The giant octopus instantly saw the Duke of Lava and Andrew, whom it despised, standing before a space gate.

The life principle emanated from Andrew’s hand.

Andrew hovered in place, hands behind his back, his legs suspended in the air, as profound life principles even caused spatial rifts nearby.

Not just life principles!

But also the Ocean Law!

In just one or two minutes, billions of kilometers of sea transformed into a serene big lake.

Underneath, the silt fully settled, and the powerful life force imbued the breached but not dead fish eggs and other life forms.

The reproductive law of the octopus Tai Wu, compared to Andrew’s life principles, was like comparing a stream to an ocean.

"This..." The giant octopus couldn’t understand.

Was this criminal coming to make amends?

By this time, Lin Ke had already flown over with an air pressure shield.

"You’re the Storm Messenger Tai Wu, right? I am Lin Ke, Duke of Lava from the Gula Kingdom." Lin Ke politely patted his chest in a gesture of respect.

Storm Messenger, or the giant octopus Tai Wu, hesitantly lowered its head in acknowledgment.

"My apologies, due to the scheme of our Gula Kingdom’s traitor ’Deep Blue Duke,’ my Magma Territory was banished into the chaotic flow of the Star Realm and has only just been retrieved." Lin Ke felt full of regret, seeing the significant impact the Deep Blue Duke’s actions had on the surrounding marine ecology.

Despite being a cold-blooded animal, the giant octopus had shown commendable behavior upon gaining wisdom. Filled with remorse, Lin Ke apologized:

"I’m very sorry, I don’t know how to compensate you. My teacher Andrew is already doing his utmost to save those lives. Perhaps in the future, I can offer you and your people some compensation at the Naseng Joint Trading Conference."

So that’s what happened!

Deep Blue Duke?

The giant octopus knew Lin Ke didn’t have to come and apologize.

But since Lin Ke was not the one responsible, it had no complaints.

It had always believed Lin Ke wasn’t someone of malicious character, and it turned out there were indeed other changes involved.

"That detestable Deep Blue Duke, he is opposing the entire Ocean of Stars and Waves!" Tai Wu said angrily, "He’s destroying this generation of the ocean!"

"Indeed, his crimes are heinous." As he said this, Lin Ke also became solemn: "The immediate task is not only to guard against his ambush but also to find him and bring him to justice!"
