Superbase Evolution

Chapter 1179 Crossing the Sea
Others also saw a ship on the sea, and it was floating towards them.

It was a large ship with three sails. The hull was pitch black, but the sails were as white as paper. It rose and fell on the waves of the sea and was heading towards the seashore.

"There seem to be words on the sail." Dies looked carefully and read: "Souls can only be saved, people can only be saved, souls can only be saved. If you leave the ship and don't go ashore, your souls will all be burned."

"Does this mean that the only way to reach the other side is by taking a boat? If the physical body crosses the sea, both the body and the soul will be destroyed? But what does it mean to save the soul but not the person, or to save the person but not the soul?" Lin Shen frowned and thought.

Unable to figure it out, he looked at Xiaoye, hoping to get some useful information from her.

"I have never seen these things, nor have I heard my father mention them." Xiao Ye changed the subject and continued, "But I have heard of a religious myth about a boat that leads people to paradise. The boat is bottomless, and if a person stands on it, his body will fall into the water and drown, leaving only his soul on the boat. Moreover, the soul does not know that his body is dead and is taken to paradise by the boat. I wonder if the boat here has the same effect."

Everyone felt their hearts tighten after hearing this. They had gone through so much trouble to enter the Immortal Palace in their physical bodies, and no one wanted to give up their physical body.

As they were talking, the black ship with white sails had already approached. The hull was very large, and was not inferior to those 10,000-ton cruise ships.

Everyone rose into the air and looked up at the ship, only to see that the deck was in good condition, unlike the bottomless ship Xiao Ye had described. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The boat kept moving forward and stopped when it reached the beach. It just stayed there quietly without any movement. Apart from the sound of the wind and the waves, no other sound could be heard.

"Is there anyone on the boat?" Lin Shen shouted at the boat a few times, but unfortunately there was no response.

No one dared to get on the ship until they figured out what it meant to ferry people but not their souls, or to ferry souls but not people.

"Why don't we get a pet to try it out and we'll know what's going on," Xiaona suggested.

Other people had actually thought of these methods, but they had other concerns in their minds, so they did not bring them up.

"This method is very good, let's give it a try." Seeing that everyone had no other ideas, Lin Shen summoned a pet and let it fall onto the black ship.

The Nirvana-level giant snake fell on the deck of the black ship, and a terrifying scene happened the next second.

There seemed to be a misty light rising from the body of the big snake, leaving its body and dissipating.

In just one second, the giant snake seemed to have lost consciousness and fell on the deck, and its body quickly decayed. In just a few breaths of time, it had rotted into ashes. When the wind blew, it was blown away and fell into the sea.

Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. This was not just about saving people but also saving their souls. This was about both people and souls being reduced to ashes.

"Woo!" A strange sound came from the boat, a bit like the sound of a horn.

"The countdown to the departure of the Ferry will begin in a quarter of an hour. Passengers heading to the other side, please board the ship before it departs. After the Ferry sets sail, the sea of suffering will submerge the world, so please do not miss the last boarding time." The strange voice in the sky sounded again.

As everyone expected, once a living being gets on board, something will happen.

Xiaona looked unhappy, and said to Lin Shen with a sad face: "I didn't expect it to be like this. If I had known, I shouldn't have suggested letting pets on board."

Lin Shen smiled and said, "This is a process that must be experienced. It's a matter of time. There's nothing wrong with your suggestion."

"But what should we do now? If we get on the boat, we will die. If we don't get on the boat, the world that is submerged in the sea of suffering will definitely be very dangerous." Xiaona said worriedly.

"It's okay. We came here to cross the sea. Instead of wasting time, we might as well face the problem as soon as possible." Dies rarely spoke to comfort people. Xiaona felt much better: "So should we get on the boat now?"

"The human soul is originally one. No matter whether you ferry a person or a soul, it is impossible for them to survive. The human soul must survive together." Dies said.

"Doesn't that mean I'll die if I sit down, and I'll die if I don't sit down?" Xiaona said.

Lin Shen summoned another pet, and the Nirvana-level snake went into the sea.

As soon as the big snake entered the sea, it melted like snow and merged into the sea in a blink of an eye, without even leaving any waves.

Lin Shen's mind raced: "Ordinary things can't withstand this terrifying sea water, but the Great Emperor's artifact may not be able to withstand it. I don't believe that this sea water can dissolve the Great Emperor's artifact."

While thinking, Lin Shen prepared to let Xiaona try the purple gold red gourd. If the purple gold red gourd could withstand the corrosion of sea water, they could cross the sea in the purple gold red gourd without having to take the black ship.

"Let me try. I should be able to get on the boat." Ouyang Yudu said, and walked towards the boat holding a jade umbrella.

"Don't take risks, there are other ways." Lin Shen said quickly.

"I'm still somewhat confident. Let me try it first." Ouyang Yudu said as he walked up.

The moment he stepped onto the boat, a light mist suddenly emerged from outside the jade umbrella. However, the light mist could not invade the range of the jade umbrella. Even Ouyang Yudu, who was under the jade umbrella, was not contaminated by the misty halo.

Everyone was delighted to see this. Ouyang Yudu walked around the boat a few times with an umbrella. When he came down, he was not hurt at all. Instead, his face became rosier and he looked more energetic than before he got on the boat.

"I can break the weirdness of this ship. Come on board with me." Ouyang Yudu held up his umbrella high. The strange light on the jade umbrella changed and it turned into a huge umbrella covering the sky. He asked everyone to stand under his jade umbrella and get on board with him.

With the protection of Ouyang Yudu and the jade umbrella, everyone was not affected after boarding the black ship. The light mist rising outside was absorbed by the jade umbrella, and the light on the umbrella became stronger and stronger.

A quarter of an hour later, the surging sea water flooded the beach, and the big ship sailed along the waves and gradually entered the ocean.

Everyone stood on the deck, watching the waves outside the ship dancing with the strong wind. It seemed as if they saw figures standing in the sea, staring at them on the boat, like water ghosts looking for scapegoats. No matter how hard they stared, they could not see their appearance clearly.

The figures on the sea rose and fell, appearing and disappearing, but no one came on board. As the black ship continued to move forward, everyone entered the depths of the ocean.

“I don’t know if those figures are the ones who wanted to cross the sea in the past but left their souls here.” Dios said with a sigh.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the invisible shadows in the sea rushing towards the ship like a tide.

Everyone suddenly became a little worried, wondering if Ouyang Yudu's jade umbrella could withstand these endless ghost shadows.

In just the next second, everyone saw the ghost shadows that were rushing over were instantly turned into light mist by the light from the jade umbrella and were sucked into the jade umbrella.

As a large number of ghost shadows turned into light mist and were sucked into the jade umbrella, the halo on the jade umbrella became stronger and stronger. Even Ouyang Yudu's body began to emit a bright white light, just like an immortal bathing in fairy light.
