Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Perhaps in the end, you'll become one of the key figures in saving the world, and then everything will become clear. I'm telling you, you should know about the existence of the prophet, right?"

The Great Chief was greatly shocked when he heard about the Prophet. No one had expected Jiang Chuan to make such a decision at this crucial moment.

"Wait, who exactly are you?"

“It’s normal that you don’t know me, but you should have heard of my son.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan took out a photo of the child. Everyone was stunned when they saw it; no one had expected this situation.

"and many more!"

This made everyone even more puzzled. Could it be that so many unexpected things were really happening?
"Alright! I think you understand what happened now. I don't need to beat around the bush with you anymore. Like I said, you should have a plan in mind for what to do next. You should know your standards for doing things now, given the possible situation you're in."

This time, the Great Chief no longer tried to hide it.

“Come with me, but you must swear to the gods that you will never tell anyone about this.”

Who exactly are you referring to as "others"?

“Naturally, you can’t reveal everything about people who are not involved in this matter, such as those officials in your country.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan stood still.

"What do you mean? You don't really intend to tell your country's leaders about this, do you? Let me tell you, I don't have a good impression of those politicians."

"All right!"

This time, Jiang Chuan turned to leave after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the Great Chieftain called him back.

Don't you really want to know what happened?

"Let me tell you, if you tell my superior about this, there will be absolutely no problem. But if you don't trust him, then I'm sorry, I can't investigate further. I might try to find out through other channels and then I might be able to find a solution that applies to you."

"Ugh!"

In fact, the Great Chieftain knew Jiang Chuan quite well. He knew that whatever Jiang Chuan wanted to do, he would do it, even if it meant going through fire and water.

Therefore, there seems to be no point in hiding it from me.

"Alright! In that case, you can come with me. But you must promise that you absolutely cannot talk about anyone other than the people you just mentioned."

"I swear I'll agree to that."

In this way, they established some kind of connection.

The chieftain led Jiang Chuan directly to a secret chamber. The chamber contained many murals he had never seen before, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was an ancient book he had never seen before.

"Actually, this book is just a map, but I can tell you that it's not the day of the lunar eclipse yet, so it's impossible for you to find that place directly."

"You mean, it's only possible on the day of a lunar eclipse, right?"

"Correct!"

However, Jiang Chuan saw a strange shape in this book.

"Hmm! This looks like a symbol, doesn't it?"

"Correct!"

At this moment, the chieftain became interested.

"Actually, there has been a legend circulating for many years, but I still don't fully understand it."

The legend goes like this: Long, long ago, there was a creature that people named the Prince of the Sea, and some even worshipped it as the god of the sea.

Of course, that was in an era when information was not readily available. Later, locals investigated and discovered that such a creature did not exist at all, or if it did, it would be extremely rare.

"Anyway, there are so many species in the ocean, it's normal that some things haven't been discovered yet. And this thing is very rare, we can only see it in ancient myths and legends."

So now there's a very strange festival in the area. During this festival, they bring out some very unique things to commemorate this prince of the sea.

"So we don't know the specifics right now. But so far, we know that this thing hatched from an egg."

"Egg?"……

If this thing hatched from an egg, then it is certain that it is a true amphibian, otherwise it would not have such characteristics.

"Can this thing fly?"

"It can't fly! To be honest, this kind of egg is actually just a type of ovum. If I'm not mistaken, there are probably such things on the sea right now, but no one knows what they are, so they are only described in books."

Over the centuries, only three people have seen this egg, and all three of them lived to a ripe old age; they were all local chiefs.

"So, we've been keeping this secret all along, and we're still searching for the right person. And look, we've found you."

One page in the book tells a legend about a predestined person, roughly meaning that if such a person appears, it must be just before a disaster strikes. As for who this person is, that remains unknown.

"Then how can you be sure that I am the one destined for you?"

"It's very simple. This person must be able to recite the entire relevant content from memory, and also have a certain background. Anyway, when you appeared, I noticed that the eyes of the gods moved slightly."

"The god's eye moved? What's going on?"

Clearly, Jiang Chuan was becoming more and more confused as he listened.

"Let me put it this way: up to now, the eyes of the deity have moved slightly, and that really happened; everyone saw it. Perhaps it was this movement that made us feel you might be a destined person. However, according to you, this method has no scientific basis whatsoever, but sometimes, there are supernatural forces that I really can't explain."

When it comes to supernatural powers, Jiang Chuan is now thinking of beings from higher dimensions. And before this, they had only defeated one dimension.

So, no one can really explain what's going on in these situations. And that deity doesn't seem to be as mystical as some people think.

"alright."

Jiang Chuan smiled.

"However, it seems that the festival has not arrived yet. I heard that preparations for the festival usually begin before the next lunar eclipse."

According to them, they have a special calendar. If I'm not mistaken, the next lunar eclipse is two months away.

"Ok."

In other words, it's not certain whether they can obtain the right to go to the Endless Island. "How about this, when the time comes, bring some people with you. Whether they are qualified or not, let the gods decide. Generally speaking, we only know if you have the strength after the gods speak. And if the gods speak, the Sea Prince's egg might just appear."

Although this explanation sounds incredible now, Jiang Chuan knows that it could be a trap they set.

On the plane back, he kept pondering this question. What exactly was going on? Could it be that everything had already been arranged? If so, what was the point of his trip to the area?

After much thought, he became increasingly frustrated. Everyone knows that given the current pressure, if there were still another chance, there would be no need to speak the truth. But as it turns out, things aren't that simple.

"Ugh!"

Helpless, they could only shake their heads. After all, the current situation was indeed bringing less and less benefit to everyone, and no one knew exactly what to do.

After returning home, Jiang Chuan told Xu Jiajia about the situation, and the couple immediately fell into deep thought.

Could it be that something never seen before has appeared? Or do they simply lack the power to do so? If so, the outcome is predictable.

"Actually, I think this might be the best opportunity yet. Maybe in the end we'll find that what we have today is actually meaningless."

Actually, everyone now understands that, faced with the current situation, they seem to have discovered something even more surprising.

"Then let's give it a try."

At this moment, Old Xu smiled.

"Actually, I think you're overthinking it. If things are really different from what you imagine, why not prepare in advance?"

The gap in expectations regarding this matter is indeed widening. As for who should bear the responsibility, it seems to have become meaningless.

Actually, everyone knows that when faced with such an opportunity, there are very few issues to consider, but the key is how they view the issue.

"That's what we'll do!"

At this critical moment, Xu Jiajia's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Let's finalize this internally first, and not rush to report it to our superiors. We all know that once the higher-ups find out about Endless Island, they will definitely try every means to publicize it. At that point, our mission will be completely hopeless."

"Row!"

Actually, they are currently just a non-governmental organization, so the situation is naturally different. However, everyone understands that the implications of this possibility are significant.

But in the current situation, they are already facing a very difficult predicament.

Moreover, everyone knows that even if one possesses the necessary qualities, it is hard to say whether this series of processes can be successfully carried out.

Judging from the current situation, they clearly do not yet possess such strength.

Therefore, after much consideration, it's really hard to say whether they can achieve their goal; perhaps this is just a new direction for consideration.

Helpless, everyone could only shake their heads in resignation.

However, a problem has arisen. The lunar eclipse two months from now would be a good time.

"Do you think we should tell the prophet about this? After all, he's part of our team."

"want!"

Upon hearing the word "prophet," Xu Jiajia roughly understood what was going on. But everyone knew that this matter was not so simple.

The next day, the prophet appeared in the living room. After listening to their story, the prophet did not show much surprise.

"It seems that the current situation is just as described in the prophecy. On the day of a real lunar eclipse, a group of people with a mission embarked on a path full of unknowns."

"What do you mean by a road full of unknowns? Explain it to me clearly."

"We do not know the true power of the Endless Island. If you go there rashly, you may never return. These two months will pass in the blink of an eye, and the journey will be fraught with danger. If you really decide to go, you must be fully prepared mentally and with complete equipment, because the danger there is no less than that of exploring an ancient tomb."

"Didn't you say it was a large weapons depot?"

The prophet shook his head upon hearing this.

"That's an arsenal of world-destroying weapons. But I must warn you that even if you get there, whether you can survive is uncertain. Because the artificial intelligence there is far beyond your imagination. Let me put it this way: over the years, many people have been considered destined to embark on this path on the day of the lunar eclipse, but so far, not a single one has returned."

Jiang Chuan then realized that this path was far more difficult than he had imagined. Who could ultimately shoulder this responsibility remained to be seen.

"Besides, that place can only accommodate two people at most. So, it's most suitable for you two to go together."

Hearing this, Xu Jiajia hesitated. As a mother, she worried about what would happen to their child if they both died inside. Was she really going to make her child, at such a young age, bear such unimaginable burdens?
But as everyone knows, what parents want most is to provide their children with a good living environment. And now, facing danger, what they need to do is give their children a chance to live.

"As a prophet, I can only tell you how to make arrangements, but I cannot set rules for you on how to do them. After all, I am just someone who has experienced these things myself. Faced with this kind of pressure, you can only rely on your own willpower to find the final answer. I think you know best in your hearts what to do."

Now that the prophet has said all that, there's no need for the two of them to consider anything else.

"Ugh!"

Xu Jiajia sighed. It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with her son, but rather that she was worried they would really die on Endless Island.

"Don't worry, who says we're definitely going to die? Besides, wouldn't it be better if we succeeded in the end?"

At this critical moment, things are clearly not that simple. There's no need for further discussion of meaningless topics. After all, everyone knows the pressure is likely to mount.

"Alright then, in that case, let's give it a try. Perhaps this is the best option."

That night, after the couple put their child to sleep, they couldn't fall asleep in bed.

"How about we let the child sleep in a separate room? Although he is only one year old and needs our care, he is still a boy."

Although Jiang Chuan was also reluctant, this was the only option for now.

"You're planning to let the child get used to life without us both, right?"...

"Yes."

Jiang Chuan shook his head helplessly.

"To be honest, I really don't want this to happen. But you also understand that it would be best if our child could grow up in a healthy environment and live the life he wants happily and carefree in the future. Besides, the wealth we've built up over the years is enough for him to live a life of comfort and security."

"Yes." (End of Chapter)
