Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 361 "Letters" from the Universe

"Eye of Destiny, gather intelligence!"

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

[Searching. Confirming detailed coordinates... Search successful, intelligence summary in progress... Intelligence generated:]

[1. The energy contained in the ceaseless water is extremely vast, comparable to one ten-thousandth of a real sun, but it cannot be effectively utilized at present.]

2. The ceaseless water leaks from the seabed, yet remains rooted there, its current state unable to change. This can only be achieved by releasing all its internal energy, gathering all the released energy, or beginning to crystallize.

3. The inexhaustible water can be sealed, but the object used for sealing must possess the power to devour it, and its level must be comparable to the inexhaustible water. Otherwise, it will quickly be breached.

4. One-tenth of the ceaseless water has dissipated, rendering it unusable as material for upgrading the Great Fortune.

5. Unless it is upgraded infinitely using an infinite brain.

6. The Unceasing Water can be upgraded indefinitely. However, the Eye of Destiny, through foresight, understands that unlimited upgrades will do more harm than good. While they may solve one problem, they will bring about another problem a hundred times more severe.

[Required for unlimited upgrades:]

【Star Core x1】

really……

Shi Ming was slightly disappointed.

It is rooted in the seabed, cannot be moved, and cannot be effectively utilized. The conditions for utilizing it are harsh, and unlimited upgrades require the use of the Star Core, which would cause even more serious disasters.

trouble!

So, the Universiade is being upgraded infinitely, seemingly offering three choices of materials, but in reality, there's only one viable option?

Fortunately, the inexhaustible water is currently in a period of stable growth and there is no risk of crystallization. It will take at least several decades to reach the threshold of disaster, giving humanity ample time to find a solution.

Shi Ming now understands the so-called "scoop it out, then block it up".

Scooping it out means transferring it out, but three conditions are required: dissipating all the energy, or gathering all the energy, or crystallizing it.

At present, none of these can be achieved.

Blocking it up is like resealing it.

It needs an item of equal value that can absorb its power; the sealed prison is definitely not up to the task.

"That's all."

"Let's leave this trouble to the six king-class drifting ships for now. They have more rigorous and comprehensive ideas and approaches in scientific research and technology."

Intelligence obtained,

The mission for this trip has been largely completed.

He looked at the gurgling source of water.

A goose leaves its feathers as it flies by, and a beast leaves its tracks as it walks.

Leaving like this would seem like a disservice to myself for coming all this way; it would be unreasonable not to take something with me.

With a wave of his hand, Shi Ming swept up a large amount of the freshest source water and stored it in a container large enough to hold seawater. The source water closest to the center was exceptionally rich in crystal energy, practically liquid pure crystals.

It would be such a waste to let it go to waste.

After shearing so much wool that he could barely keep it all, Shi Ming finally stopped. Instead of stepping onto the Sun-Shooting Platform, he transformed into a Kun and began his wondrous return journey.

The inexhaustible water is right here and cannot be moved, so it is not afraid of being taken away by others.

He can leave in peace.

On the way, he pondered his next plan.

After absorbing the essence of the Temple of Destiny, Shi Ming's attack power had just exceeded 600, reaching 602. This meant that he could sever all other Temple essences from the root and cause a Temple sea beast to perish simply by relying on his own power combined with ten times the strength.

Break the law with force!

There's no need to gather intelligence or find specific ways to kill them.

Even the activated wormhole currently in the far north, slowly digesting and devouring the origin of space, could be killed directly with his current abilities without needing to destroy its stomach. However, that sea beast is nurturing a Nirvana-level skill; killing it now would mean missing an extremely rare opportunity to advance to the Nirvana level.

Next, inform the six drifting ships about the "Unceasing Water".

Then find the fifth-ranked Burning Abyss. After killing the other two Holy Temple-level sea beasts, continue studying the "Burning Soul Poem" of the "Hundred-Layer Tower of Heaven." By then, the activated wormhole should be ready to attempt the Nirvana stage.

Time is indeed very tight.

But everything should proceed as planned.

Hopefully, this won't lead to any further complications.

Roar--

The moment this idea came to mind, the enormous Kun head felt a wave of dizziness. The Eye of Destiny, after merging with the "Great Prophecy Technique," gained the ability to "foresee the future," and this was the second miraculous response!

……

……

……

Boiling sea, black gold.

Cool breeze.

The crew and locals alike on this King-class drifting ship have been extremely busy lately. Developing a safe new sea requires a large amount of manpower and resources, and the project is currently in full swing.

They were equally delighted to discover that the energy in this sea area far exceeded their expectations.

It is both safe and fertile, a true treasure trove.

Sivir sat in the command room, reviewing various documents that required her approval.

"Ok?"

The simple star chain on her wrist moved slightly; it originally had seven stars, but now only two remained.

She was both delighted and apprehensive.

It was the Grand Commander Beyoncé who used this communication device, a gift from the captain of the Nirvana, to establish long-distance contact with her.

【Sivir】

I am currently safe and sound. Are you well? Everything in the universe surprises me. One day, humanity will set foot on the stars. I look forward to that day.

Beyoncé

It lacks punctuation and is empty of content.

After reading the information, the second-to-last star on Starlink turned to ashes, leaving only the last one.

Sivir was taken aback.

She and Grand Commander Beyoncé each possess a seemingly ordinary Starlink, a gift from the captain of the Nirvana when Beyoncé left with the captain of the Nirvana. It allows the two to exchange a few messages, even when they are close yet separated by great distances, but there is a limit to the number of times each star can transmit only 60 words.

Therefore, it will never be used unless absolutely necessary.

Why waste time on these useless words?
There must be something fishy about this.

Sivir began to decipher these seemingly ordinary Latin letters and started to automatically put herself in Beyoncé's shoes, wondering how she would encrypt a message if she wanted to send it to her.

As a scholar, she first began to deconstruct the sentence as much as possible.

There are 53 characters in total.
It uses a total of 18 Latin letters, including 6 vowels and 12 consonants... [d] is a velar stop in Egyptian dialects, and its pronunciation differs in French and Latin, yet it appears repeatedly... while Beyoncé is of French and African descent...

There are also various other details.

No useful information was obtained.

"Have Professor Oduer come to my office."

"Yes, Commander."

Professor Oduer was an expert in cryptography during the land-based era, but cryptography was useless during the wandering era, so he shifted his research focus to mechanical construction.

Sivir frowned.

"wrong."

"Beyoncé is the kind of person who maximizes the use of resources; she's extremely rational. Starlink can send 60 characters; such an important resource, she couldn't possibly only use 53?"

"The first five communications each filled up 60 characters, without even using punctuation marks."

"53?"
