Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 325 The Three-Eyed Golden Crow's Scheme!
When death is imminent, both humans and marine animals will unleash an astonishing will to survive; this is an instinct ingrained in their genes, and no creature will sit idly by and wait to die.

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow has already begun its initial planning.

Run away? Inform them?
neither!
The Abyss Lord prefers heat, so it needs a "high-temperature air conditioner." Its intervention to save the Three-Eyed Golden Crow last time was solely because keeping it alive was useful. Therefore, the Three-Eyed Golden Crow cannot leave this place under the Abyss Lord's watchful eye.

And the future he foresaw could not be revealed to the Lord of the Abyss.
First, it will suffer a backlash from the power of fate.
Secondly, the Abyss Lord is a being high above all others, and to mention death in its presence is itself a form of blasphemy!
The solution devised by the Three-Eyed Golden Crow was:

Slide on your knees!

surrender!

When the evil dragon descended, he immediately betrayed the Lord of the Abyss and surrendered to the evil dragon!
Today it may kneel beside the Lord of the Abyss, and tomorrow it may kneel beside the evil dragon. A good bird chooses its tree to perch on, and there is not much difference between the two.

It's just about surviving; there's nothing shameful about it.

This is also an option.

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow felt that it had found a glimmer of hope for survival in the endless river of fate.

This also explains the strange phenomenon in the prophecy that the Abyss Lord was still alive after his death. Normally, in such high-level battles, cannon fodder like it would die first, but in the prophecy, the opposite is true.

Surrender requires "sincerity".

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow is truly sincere!
Perched atop the Boiling Sea, it once glimpsed many secrets through the [Great Prophecy]. Especially deep within the Earth's core, there lay a treasure emanating a violent aura, shaped like a greatsword, terrifying beyond measure. Hmm... although the dragon has no arms and, like it, cannot wield weapons, it is still a token of its affection.

It's just a pity,

The "immortal hibiscus tree" that I had been protecting was recently destroyed by a despicable human!
Otherwise, we could have shown even more sincerity!

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow wasn't sure if it could move the evil dragon, but this was the only chance it could think of to survive.

No matter what, we must seize the opportunity.

……

……

……

"The Three-Eyed Golden Crow..."

While the Three-Eyed Golden Crow was plotting, Shi Ming, who had returned to the Great Yun, was already sitting in the captain's cabin, taking his turn for roll call.

Yama, the King of Hell, is making his roll call.

Before him lay a hand-drawn map, marking the locations of the five Saint-level sea beasts with red circles around them. The first stop was a familiar old acquaintance.

The Three-Eyed Golden Crow and the Lord of the Abyss.

"The Three-Eyed Golden Crow..."

"A sea monster possessing two S-rank skill origins: the 54th ranked [Great Sun Wheel] and the 45th ranked [Great Prophecy]. The Great Sun Wheel is an active skill, its origin permeating its blood. The Great Prophecy is a passive skill, its origin hidden in its third eye and heart."

Shi Ming was already familiar with the information about the Three-Eyed Golden Crow.

This information comes from the tributaries of fate revealed by the Wheel of Fate during the Titans' descent.

However, the information about the Abyss Lord is not very extensive.

Both encounters with the Abyss Lord occurred at critical moments. He was either forcibly expelled or escaped with the help of the Lamp of Wishes before he could use the Eye of Intelligence. Therefore, he only learned about the Abyss Lord's skill, [Extreme Evil Sanctuary], through a broken tentacle. Its normal skills include Crystallized Veil, Ten Thousand Hook Tentacles, and Abyss of Sin.

Weaknesses unknown, method of elimination unknown.

The threshold for absorbing the essence of the Sanctuary is also unknown.

Last time, when facing the Lord of the Abyss, the Eye of the Mortal Realm judged Shi Ming's win rate to be only 0.1%. However, things are different now. Although the Lord of the Abyss is huge, his mental strength is far inferior to his and A Jian's. He can use the [Law of Immortality] to control him for three seconds. Thousands upon thousands of A Jian are thousands upon thousands of Laws of Immortality. Combined with the [Blade of Disorder] with ten times the enhancement and other trump cards, when he is on the verge of death, he can use the Arm of Judgment to kill him directly.

Not to mention, Shi Ming still possesses a remnant of the Creation Pillar.

One can use the Starlight to unleash the "Supreme Sanctuary" once. Even a lion must exert its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

This time, the balance of power has shifted!
……

After finalizing his plans, Shi Ming left the office area and went to the captain's space where saplings of the Jianmu tree were planted.

A pearl, resembling a full moon, hung in mid-air, illuminating the newly grown Jianmu tree. The massive body of the Mahakala Dragon, piled up like a hill, stood to the other side, its flesh and power almost entirely devoured, yet its ferocious aura remained undiminished.

Shi Ming looked at the seedling.

The roots of the seedlings were transplanted from frozen soil, a location that Shi Ming had specifically chosen.

The water used to irrigate it is also snowmelt from high mountains that contains no salt or marine crystal energy.

In your spare time, planting some flowers and plants is actually quite nice.

"Ok?"

His spiritual power seemed to sense that the seedlings were extremely eager for the flesh and blood of the Great Black Dragon.

He blinked.

The Eye of the Mortal World has sent a new reminder.

[Use the "Captain's Space" of a King-class drifting ship to farm?]

If the people who set sail on those royal ships knew, they would surely cry foul and say it was a terrible waste. But if the crops they planted were magical trees, it would be much more acceptable.

The flesh and blood of the Great Black Dragon, having lost its source of destruction, can indeed be transformed into fertile soil. The "Fruit of Immortality" and the "Fruit of Bodhi," left unused in the space, can also take root and sprout as seeds, nourished by the abundant energy of the blood. With the nourishment of Sanctuary-level nutrients, they might even bear even more wondrous fruits.

[Anyway, you'll be of no use to this space and this inexhaustible supply of flesh and blood, right?]

This is true.

The entire Black Dragon, with a body a thousand meters long and nine winding heads, had all the Holy Temple's energy transferred into Shi Ming's body, leaving only a little symbolic energy to be used as upgrade materials, consumables, or research subjects.

However, as the first Saint-level sea beast he had killed, out of a desire to hoard it, Shi Ming did not discard its body, but kept it intact.

It just takes up too much space.

If piled up, they would take up a third of the captain's compartment!
This is because of its slender figure.

One giant black dragon is fine, but if other huge sea beasts are killed in the future, this captain's space of 100 square meters in length, width and height will really not be enough to hold them. For example, the Abyss Lord, not counting the evil touch, has a huge eye that is hundreds of meters long, and this captain's space is not enough at all!

At that time, Shi Ming will only be able to extract the essence.

However, if the remaining bodies are discarded carelessly on the endless ocean, not to mention the possibility that some unscrupulous scientists might use them to conduct uncontrolled and taboo experiments, other sea creatures would also flock to them and devour them in a frenzy.

This can easily lead to secondary mutations and contamination.

The key word for the Abyss Master is still "pollution".

Harmless disposal is essential.

Now, these plants seem to be able to help him?

Shi Ming made a move, creating two smaller planting areas away from the Jianmu seedlings. The soil was some frozen soil he had separated from the Jianmu, which he had restored to normal temperature. He then placed some remnants of the Great Black Dragon's flesh into the soil. Afterward, he took out a "Bodhi Fruit" and a "Fruit of Immortality" from the warehouse and planted them.

These amazing trees grow in extremely harsh environments.

Like the Bodhi tree, which grows in the deep sea; the evergreen hibiscus tree, which grows in the center of the boiling sea at nearly 1000 degrees Celsius; and the Jianmu tree, which grows in extremely cold regions. But this does not mean that they cannot grow in ordinary environments; on the contrary, it shows that they can grow in extreme environments.

Shi Ming poured a ladle of the blood of the Great Black Dragon onto each of them.

In this endless ocean, the use of the blood of a Saint-level sea beast for farming is probably a unique case.
