Chapter 832: Giving the Ocean a Parted Hairstyle

On this resource-scarce planet, to build an undersea structure of such strength—calling it a miracle is no exaggeration at all.The environment here is harsh; ordinary survivors wouldn’t even set foot in this place, so the Dark Rising Association naturally had almost zero chance of being discovered.

Even Lin Yi, when passing by here, would have a hard time noticing anything unusual about this place.

Amid the sudden howling gale, Lin Yi stood there at ease, unmoving.

He slowly closed his eyes, using his own Source Power and Divine Power to establish a connection with a Divine Artifact buried within his body.

Buzz~

Golden ripples spread out like a gentle spring breeze brushing across all things; that soft soothing force calmed everything down.

The roaring gale came to an abrupt halt, the flickering lightning all hid itself back into the thunderclouds above the Black Sea, and even the surging sea itself became completely calm at this moment.

Sunlight even did the unprecedented and tore open a few cracks in the clouds, shining down through them.

Lin Yi opened his eyes; golden streams of light flowed out from that pair of golden pupils. The Trident pattern that was usually completely hidden between his brows emerged at this moment, making Lin Yi’s already proud aura even more intense.

Lin Yi slowly descended, his toes lightly touching the surface of the sea.

In an instant, the Black Sea, which had finally calmed down with great difficulty, began to tremble once more.

Finally, under Xiyue’s gaze, at the spot where Lin Yi’s toes lightly tapped, the entire ocean split into two, revealing a pitch-black chasm that stretched to the end of the sky and was bottomless.

At this time, three hundred meters below the surface, a massive, gravity-free, fixed disc-shaped structure revealed itself.

Its outer shell reflected the pitch-black seawater. At the very instant the ocean parted, not a single drop of seawater clung to the entire structure. Judging from that near-mirror finishing, the level of technology contained here was anything but low.

Sure enough, after using the Eye of All-Seeing to observe for a bit, even Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh in amazement:

Not gonna lie, the Dark Rising Association on this planet is actually pretty strong—they even managed to make high-strength stainless steel. Nice!

High-strength stainless steel, to Blue Star, was something eliminated nearly a thousand years ago.

But for this Depp Star, this thing was absolutely a rare treasure.

Even some large survivor organizations, don’t even talk about high-strength stainless steel; they can’t even make a slightly larger single sheet of iron.

For Depp Star, calling this disc-shaped structure a miracle is in no way an overstatement.

The disc-shaped structure had a diameter of about ten kilometers; its internal space could only be described as absurdly huge.

This structure clearly had pretty decent Perception of its surroundings.

When it sensed the sudden drop in pressure, an alarm immediately sounded.

The next moment, dozens of survivors with fierce auras, each comparable to Blue Star War God Level, flew out from within and headed straight toward Lin Yi and Xiyue.

Originally, these dozens of powerful survivors came out with aggressive momentum.

But when this group saw the surrounding environment clearly, they were instantly dumbfounded.

Wait, what.

What the hell is this!

The ocean!

The ocean actually split open! And opened up such a massive crack! What the hell is going on!

You have to know, almost the entire Depp Planet is covered in a vast ocean.

To split the ocean open is practically equivalent to pushing the entire planet.

In all heaven and earth, what kind of person could possess such Divine Power, enough to do this? Wouldn’t someone like that be able to casually pull off world-ending operations?

Looking around, there didn’t seem to be any other living creatures—just Lin Yi and Xiyue. Could it be that all of this was done by them? Impossible, the Source Power fluctuations these two were giving off weren’t that exaggerated; they both looked quite young.

Just as the Dark Rising Association members on Pude Star were about to act first to guard Dark Rising’s secrets, the strongest one in the disc-shaped structure, Rhodes, appeared.

Wearing a full suit of silver armor, he took his already imposing aura up another notch.

The fully armed, elite-warrior look was the complete opposite of this doomsday-wasteland-style planet.

The strength he exuded was about the same as Yan Qiushui’s.

The moment he appeared, all the survivors of Pude Planet surrounding the disc-shaped structure immediately quieted down and behaved.

"You two, if I’ve guessed correctly, you should be friends of that esteemed lord, right? Since Lord Ziyue couldn’t come in person and had to trouble you two to make this trip, is there some new directive to be conveyed to us?"

Rhodes’ attitude was relatively polite.

It contrasted quite a bit with the powerful aura given off by his sharp, well-defined facial features.

"Here, catch."

Lin Yi took out the ring given by the Dark Rising Association from his personal space and tossed it toward Rhodes.

Rhodes caught the purple streak of light flying toward him with a steady hand and carefully felt the aura emanating from it—it was almost identical to the Ziyue he had met over ten years ago.

On that basis alone, Rhodes was certain.

Lin Yi was an esteemed one who had come from the Upper Plane.

The very kind of powerhouse who had made him part of the Dark Rising Organization.

Stepping on the void, Rhodes quickly moved forward, stopping before Lin Yi and Xiyue. He bowed respectfully and held the ring out with both hands.

"I did not know your lordship would grace us with your presence. I have failed to welcome you from afar; I beg your lordship’s forgiveness."

Confirming Lin Yi’s identity wasn’t just because of that ring with the special aura; the main reason was the spectacular miracle he had witnessed today.

As someone born and raised here, Rhodes held deep reverence for this boundless ocean before him.

This ocean not only bore humanity but also carried all kinds of powerful creatures.

Rhodes had spent his entire life daring only to dream of leading his subordinates to carve out such a disc-shaped undersea structure.

He had never even dared to imagine using human strength to split this vast ocean open with a single continuous rift.

"Moreover, my lord, what is this you’ve done?"

As he spoke, Rhodes pointed at the sea beneath their feet.

A split-open ocean was enough to shock the entire planet from the perspective of all Pude Planet.

The crack running through the ocean stretched straight up to the sky.

The appearance of such a scene would draw the attention of countless people on Depp Star.

Now the Dark Rising Association’s base was fully exposed, and he, Rhodes of Depp, was extremely anxious.

If someone discovered a structure beneath the sea surface and leaked this information to Eric on the Radiant Continent, it would bring enormous trouble to the Dark Rising Association.

He absolutely did not want that to happen.

"It’s nothing. It’s just my first time coming to this planet—when I was flying over the sea, I couldn’t see your headquarters. So I just split the seawater open to take a look. Didn’t expect that on such a resource-scarce planet, something this impressive actually existed. It truly is a miracle."

"If you’re worried, I’ll just let the seawater close up again."

With that, Lin Yi snapped his fingers.

Golden ripples once more spread out, and after brushing over the ocean, the split-deep sea began to slowly merge back together. The disc-shaped structure was once again hidden beneath the surface.

Holy shit!

It really was this young man who did it?

The things the Dark Rising Organization did couldn’t even be called "human business"; even they themselves felt guilty about it in their hearts.

They had always heard Rhodes talk about how powerful the Divine Beings of the Upper Plane were, but in the past ten-plus years, apart from Rhodes the president, no one had ever seen these so-called Upper Plane Divine Beings, nor had they witnessed the might of the Upper Plane Divine Beings.

As time passed, they gradually began to waver, since that so-called condensed product of Source Power taken from others that could directly affect one’s own body had never been seen, and even after more than ten years of experiments, there had been no progress at all.

But today, they reaffirmed their choice.

Forcing the ocean to part like giving it a center parting—if that’s not something only a god can do, what is?

Today, a Divine Being had descended in person! Which meant their days of meteoric rise and soaring success were just around the corner!
