Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 173 The Great Secret Has Been Revealed! The Eye of God!

"The contents of this stone tablet are indeed quite useful!"

"The methods for training sea beasts, the methods for refining the body with starlight, as well as energy clashes and the advancement of ferocious beasts... any one of these, if made public, would be enough to make all the forces on the entire ocean envious. No wonder the Scorpion King thousands of years ago was able to conquer everything with this monument!"

"There seems to be another inscription at the bottom of the stone tablet."

When he put the stele away, he saw clearly that there was indeed a passage of text quietly engraved on the bottom of the stele.

Shi Ming adjusted the angle of the stone tablet.

Looking at it,

But he was completely stunned.

The back of the book contains only a few dozen characters, yet it records a tremendous secret.

The information that was deciphered struck Shi Ming like a thunderbolt.

Without a doubt, this is the "big secret" that the intelligence agency was referring to.

This "big secret" seems to be related to him as well.

……

……

……

The beings who created the characters on the original monument of civilization are considered godlike beings.

But even gods can fall.

He left behind four pieces of his remains at the moment of his death.

The consciousness within the remains had long since dissipated, yet it still possessed immense power, allowing those who obtained it to be elevated. If its power were fully unleashed, it could even rival the most formidable beasts with its minuscule form, unleashing unimaginable might.

These four remains, arranged according to their functions, are as follows:

Eye of God

A mind in a state of chaos

The body of the primordial flow,

An uncertain shadow.

However, not long after that godlike being passed away, the four remains disappeared one after another without a trace. Despite trying every means, they could not be found. It seemed that they had completely vanished from the real world or disappeared into the dust.

The river of time flows on and on, and can no longer be verified.

……

The text recorded on the stone tablet is not text in the narrow sense. The stone inscription deconstructs its meaning, and the gist is as above.

At this moment, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Four pieces of remains,

One of them is called the "Eye of God".

Shi Ming recalled the pendant he had escorted in his previous life. It was as warm and smooth as jade. At first glance, it was just an ordinary antique, but it exploded completely before his death, killing both the enemy and himself. It then completely merged into his body, taking him to what might be the endless ocean world of the future. It slowly and imperceptibly replaced the original owner's body and also gave him three abilities.

Could this Eye of God pendant be a piece of the remains?
Probably!

He covered his eyes and forehead with his right hand, which was covered by red stripes.

Done!

Now he seemed even more extraordinary.

This goes against my principle of keeping a low profile!

He had already become easy prey in the eyes of those powerful forces in the world who couldn't afford to offend him. He possessed three rare treasures that were listed on the list: the Endless Sea Map, the Sea-Calming Pearl, and the Mocking Stone. He also piloted a mysterious drifting ship that could break through the suppression of characteristics and directly smashed a gap in a general-level drifting ship.

Moreover, he is a lone S-class Awakener!
The lighthouse must be drooling with envy!
Other factions also have their share of people eager to make a move.

His trip to the pyramids taught him that powerful beings and civilizations existed beyond Earth. If they knew he possessed the "Eye of God," he would be an absolute hot commodity, a piece of meat within their grasp. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

He understood this principle perfectly well.

"Perhaps the situation is not as bad as imagined. So many years have passed since then, and now only a very small minority know these secrets."

"Even the woman who brought me into the mysterious star field only thought I had a special skill, and didn't see that I had the Eye of God integrated into me. Moreover, she didn't seem to have any ill intentions on the surface."

"Perhaps she doesn't even know the specific manifestations of the Eye of God."

"I am safe for the time being."

However, we must not be careless.

According to his speculation, even the mysterious woman would need the Star Lamp to locate Shi Ming's position and the bronze mirror to pull him from the world of the endless ocean into that starry sky in order to pull him from Earth.

Lamp of the Stars?

Think it over carefully; from now on, you'll be staying in the system space!

Shelved!

Any treasures suspected of betrayal will be hidden away!
……

As the evening glow began to illuminate the sky, Shi Ming went up to the deck to plan the future course of the Dayun.

"Captain, where are we going next?"

"The boiling sea".

"what?"

The Boiling Sea? That's a forbidden zone for humans! Even the powerful figures under the command of the King-level drifting ship "Black Gold" dare not venture there lightly. Any Awakened One who dares to venture into the core area could make the front page of the world news—if such a thing even exists.

Huang Pao was very worried.

He wasn't worried about himself, but rather felt that the captain was currently in the eye of the storm and might need to rest and recuperate for a while.

After all, the captain has been making headlines a lot lately!

First, he killed several seemingly extraordinary A-level Awakened individuals, offending the Lighthouse and the Black Society. Then, he completely sank an entire golden ship, making headlines throughout the Europa Sea. Afterward, he arrived at the Yellow Sand Sea and caused a ship collision that shocked the endless ocean.

Of course, all of this was for self-preservation, and he didn't see any problem with it; on the contrary, he admired it even more.

But now, do we still have to challenge the boiling sea, a forbidden zone for life?

It was obvious that there was an absolutely powerful sea beast there, which caused the temperature of the entire Boiling Sea to reach a terrifying high of several hundred degrees from the surface to the seabed. This also created the high temperatures of the Sea of ​​Ashes and the Sea of ​​Yellow Sands, turning the entire African region into a paradise for sea beasts.

Fortunately, the world's seawater today contains a large amount of sea crystal energy, making it difficult to boil or freeze.

Otherwise, the entire ecosystem of the endless ocean would suffer as a result.

"Don't worry, we won't go too deep."

"Moreover, I have a way to deal with the high temperatures there."

Shi Ming took out a crystal. A perfect crystal.

Pure ice without form.

The temperature on the entire ship dropped instantly. The crew members, who had been working shirtless, shuddered and their teeth started chattering.

"Isn't it cool?"

The first property of the Phaseless Pure Ice is that it can maintain a constant temperature of -45 degrees Celsius within a ten-meter radius around the wearer. Shi Ming had always been curious whether the Phaseless Pure Ice could also maintain a constant temperature of -45 degrees Celsius in the center of the Boiling Sea.
He's going to give it a try.

Now that he's far away in Africa, he doesn't believe that the Twilight Whale can sense the location of the Formless Pure Ice and travel thousands of miles to hunt it down.

If it really does catch up, we can take advantage of the high temperatures here to find a way to kill it completely! That way, he won't have to go back to Greenland to kill that whale later!
