Actually, sailing on the sea is quite boring. The ocean is vast and magnificent, but it also stretches to the horizon.

The scenery was mostly the same, and after seeing it for a while, I felt nauseous. Of course, it could also be that I was seasick.

It was somewhat better near the coast, but as soon as the ship left international waters, we, the fifth-realm Martial Saints, could clearly feel the impact.

The difference between having the protection of a nation's destiny and not having it is that a large amount of cold, negative energy is affecting everyone.

The main manifestation is that people feel much more depressed, become very irritable, and are always tempted to fight at the slightest provocation.

A deeper manifestation of this is that once death occurs, the probability of the undead appearing increases significantly. I subtly communicated with the Evil Emperor through telepathy.

The question was asked: "You've been traveling a lot lately, have you felt this way? Is it a situation unique to the sea, or is it the same in other places?"

The Evil Emperor thought carefully for a moment before replying, "It should be a special situation unique to the sea. We've been to foreign territories before."

However, I didn't feel such a noticeable change. If there were such a significant energy change elsewhere, everyone would have noticed it and reported it long ago.

I agree with the Evil Emperor's analysis, but I can't stop worrying, based on what I'm feeling right now.

Who knows how many powerful beasts might lurk beneath the sea? If they were to be used by an evil god, they could cause immense damage to the entire world.

I've never considered myself the smartest one. If I can think of something, then someone else must have thought of it too.

It may be difficult to implement now, but there must be someone researching this behind the scenes. I need to pay attention and come up with some countermeasures so that I don't get caught off guard.

When I think of battles in the ocean, the first thing that comes to mind is all sorts of sea monsters, as well as various dragon kings and sea gods. The next thing to do is to prepare for things in the sea.

The Evil Emperor sensed my thoughts through his mental perception, and silently gazed at the sky.

She muttered to me helplessly, "You said you didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now you're practically an environmental warrior."

I retorted, "A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. Now that we've discovered the problem, we should prepare early so that fewer people will die. Anyway, we're just sitting around doing nothing, isn't it good to find something to do?"

Hearing my twisted logic, the Evil Emperor leaned weakly against the railing, continuing to complain, "You're the only one with nothing to do, okay? We all have so many things to do."

I rolled my eyes and asked, "For example?"

The Evil Emperor thought about it seriously for a long time, and suddenly felt much more energetic. He ignored everyone else for now.

He genuinely had nothing to do, and had become so bored that he started setting up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings, and incidentally, he started dating.

Everyone else said they were too busy to care, but he couldn't. He immediately became serious, nodding in agreement, "Yes, we really need to prepare seriously."

Looking at the Evil Emperor, whose temper changed faster than flipping through a book, I was speechless. I could only silently plan my next move, my thoughts continuing as the ship continued its journey.

Watching the waves cleaved by the ship's hull, and the dolphins following around it—they must be a family—

Carefree, they followed the ship forward, occasionally leaping out of the water and shouting joyfully.

I was watching the dolphins with a smile when I suddenly felt a chill, as if some disaster was about to befall me.
