Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

The text on Chapter 235, "The Stele of Divine Revelation"

“Mr. Secretary General, the protective measures on the base of the Eternal Stone have been removed.”

A researcher came over and reported to Abraham.

Abraham put down his tea, nodded, and then said to Shi Ming, who was reading the newspaper:

"Alright, young man, after waiting for about 10 minutes, we can go to the base of the stone tablet to have your honor mark engraved."

The researcher standing nearby was taken aback.

Is the removal of the base's protective cover for engraving a name?

How could someone so young have their name engraved on the Eternal Stone? Only honorary knights, general-level captains, S-class awakeners, and those who have made significant contributions to the Royal Ship are qualified to do so. How could a young man who looks to be no more than 20 years old achieve such a feat?
Not simple!

Shi Ming put down the newspaper.

Standing up, I followed Abraham to the top floor of the Twelve Stars, the Hall of Glory where the Eternal Stone is housed, and also the research center of the attached Stone Research Laboratory. Normally, this place is not open to the public, and to enter and visit, one must go through various approval procedures, which is very troublesome.

A mysterious light shines through the eternal stele, a special protection for the stele itself, yet it does not hinder reading or research.

Beneath the stone tablet lies a foundation made of basalt.

The name is engraved on the base stone, not on the body of the monument.

The main reason is that the Eternal Stone is made of an extremely hard material, and no one can carve any other words on it.

The moment Shi Ming saw the inscription on the stone tablet, he was completely certain that this was another piece of the Divine Revelation Stone Tablet. The inscription was the mysterious language that he had spent several days learning in the starry sky. Each character contained a large amount of information and had completely different meanings depending on the context.

Even the same line of text can have completely different meanings depending on whether it is read alone or in conjunction with the surrounding paragraphs.

In just a moment, he roughly understood the meaning of the words above.

【The Monument of Divine Revelation, Part Four】

【author·……】

The author's name was also hidden, just as the Stone Revelation Stele 3 was collected in the Stone Inscription Warehouse.

The inscription on this stone tablet consists of three main parts.

Five magical trees and the fruit they bear.

Methods to improve mental strength.

【Seven Saints Church】

The first thing Shi Ming noticed was the "Hall of Seven Saints" engraved at the very bottom, which was the part he was most interested in, so he naturally wanted to interpret it in detail first.

He deciphered this abstract text into modern language, roughly as follows:

The person who erected this stone tablet, its creator, discovered a power on this planet that surpassed S-class, known as the Sanctuary level. These powers reflected the origin of existence and were respectively the seven forces of life, death, time and space, eternity, destiny, pollution, and destruction. Seven fortunate ancient beasts gained recognition of these powers and became the original seven Sanctuary level beasts.

But the initial state does not equate to eternity; the power of the Sanctuary can be transferred.

However, the entry barrier is extremely high.

Not only must one possess physical attributes comparable to those of a ferocious beast, but one must also resonate with the power of the source. However, the so-called antidote is said to be available within three steps (this is a modern translation), and the way to resonate with the source is often hidden among these ferocious beasts.

As long as you possess three different Sanctuary-level powers simultaneously, you can...

Shi Mingwei frowned almost imperceptibly.

That's all.

At the crucial moment, the story abruptly ended.

Those who only write snippets are dogs.

……

…… ……

"Young man, you can begin."

"Well, Mr. Abraham, the inscription on this Eternal Stone looks magnificent and mysterious. I wonder what language it is?"

Shi Ming asked, feigning confusion.
Their eyes, however, continued to analyze the contents of the stone tablet. The Seven Saints Hall was the information at the very bottom, with two more sections above it.

Five magical trees and the fruit they bear.

The gist is,
The author of the stone tablet discovered that there are five wondrous trees on this planet: Jianmu, Dachun, Bodhi Bitter Tree, World Tree, and Immortal Fusang Tree. Each tree has a magical effect, either possessing incredible abilities or bearing magical fruits and exuding magical sap.

Jianmu, shuttling back and forth.

The Great Camellia is resurrected.

The Bodhi tree, though bitter, is a purifying tree.

The World Tree, reborn.

The evergreen hibiscus tree never ages.

These are the five wondrous trees and their magical properties. In Shi Ming's warehouse, there are the fruits of the Immortal Fusang Tree, which were picked from the tree of the Three-Eyed Golden Crow. They contain the essence of the sun and, when consumed, can keep the body in an "immortal" state for three years. During these three years, one's appearance, physical strength, and various bodily organs will be restored to their previous peak state, with no side effects.

The Bodhi Bitter Tree, which Shi Ming had seen in the list of wonders of the Endless Sea, has a core that is the Purification Marrow, ranked 96th.

Shi Ming noted these down, but without thinking too much about them, he continued reading.

Methods to enhance mental strength.

This is the second chapter of the inscription, which mainly records a method of meditation. However, the author also mentions that this method is limited by the comprehension of living beings and can only be used by intelligent beings. The rate at which beasts can improve their mental strength is far slower than that of intelligent beings. But they have a more efficient way, which is the tempering of time.

The longer a creature survives, the stronger its mental power becomes through the tempering of time.

Each of the Holy Temple-level ferocious beasts has very low basic comprehension, but because they have lived for a long time, their spiritual power has accumulated over a long period of time and is very strong.

There is also a creature called the Nameless Cocoon, which has lived for countless ages and possesses spiritual power that is beyond comprehension.

Shi Ming was stunned; he hadn't expected to see A Jian here.

Similarly, he knew that his mental power was also undetectable.

But I myself have not lived for ten thousand generations.

It's probably because of the fusion with the Eye of God to travel through time, or perhaps because of his own high level of comprehension, or perhaps both.
No answer found.

Abraham gazed at the Eternal Stone, answering the question posed by the inscription:
"The origin of this mysterious script is unknown, and no one has been able to decipher it until now. Only the Xirang Research Institute of the King-level drifting ship Dayu, with its large-scale sample of 33,000 characters from the large stone tablet and its ultra-high computing power, has been able to make a slight deciphering of its meaning."

Abraham said.

"To date, Yu the Great has deciphered two texts."

"Based on their research, they reinterpreted the material using modern language and compiled it into two lists in a way that ordinary people can understand. These lists are titled 'A List of Wonders of the Endless Ocean (Part 2)' and 'A List of Wonders of the Endless Ocean (Part 3),' which record some of the world's most amazing items. Among them is the Ocean-Stabilizing Pearl."

"If you need these two lists, Twelve Stars can share them with you for free."

Shi Ming shifted his gaze from the stone tablet.

He had memorized all the words on the stone tablet.

But he remembered the warning from the Eye of the Mortal World and the mysterious woman that he could not reveal that he understood these words.

"Then thank you very much, Twelve Stars and Mr. Abraham."

"You're too kind, young man."
