"Understood!" Sun Yiming replied immediately.
Lorraine put down the documents and looked up at Gu Xi.
"I need more time to decipher the documents from the Tar period. There is a lot of information in them, involving many technologies and histories that we don't understand."
“Thank you for your hard work, Lorraine.” Gu Xi nodded. “What Ai Si left behind is very important. Until we have a complete grasp of it, it is both our trump card and a potential source of trouble. Therefore, do not reveal too much to the outside world before we are absolutely certain.”
“I understand,” Lorraine said.
The ship sailed through the deep sea, heading towards the island. Night fell, and unseen currents surged beneath the surface.
Meanwhile, in a secluded cave near the Hall of Ten Thousand Streams, several shadowy figures gathered. These were the Illusion Jellyfish, the Blacktip Retriever, and several other deep-sea representatives who had supported them at the conference.
"Damn it! Those damned deep-sea humans!" The blacktip reef shark angrily lashed its tail, churning the surrounding water. "How dare they refuse us in front of so many other species! And they even said it was based on merit? Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"
The jellyfish's translucent body shimmered slightly in the darkness, its voice carrying a chilling hatred.
"They think they can get away with anything just because they have a few SSS-level backers? How naive! The rules of the tournament only apply in public. In private, strength doesn't count."
It seems to have completely forgotten that Gu Xi and the others are also quite strong.
"What about their island?" a representative of the sea urchin tribe with sharp barbs asked in a low voice. "Although Lord Tide Dragon and the others didn't explicitly oppose it, they didn't say they supported us taking it either, right?"
"Foolish!" The voice of the Phantom Jellyfish suddenly rose. "SSS-class means they won't interfere! The ownership of the islands will be determined entirely by strength."
The blacktip reef shark grinned, revealing sharp teeth. "The jellyfish is right! That island is right there, a ready-made piece of meat! Besides, those humans are talking about some kind of data from the Tar era? Who knows if it's true or not! Even if it is, instead of sharing it with them, we might as well just snatch it and study it ourselves!"
“That’s right!” another representative of the small deep-sea race chimed in. “Their technology is also very tempting! Those ships that can evade the Day of Disaster, and those energy devices… If we could get our hands on them, our strength would increase dramatically!”
The tentacles of the jellyfish swayed gently in the water, as if deep in thought.
“Trying to storm their islands would likely result in heavy losses. They demonstrated considerable strength at the conference, especially that woman named Gu Xi and that Lorraine, both of whom possess strong mental power. And that fire sea beast is also incredibly irritable and powerful.”
"What should we do then?" Blackfin Shark asked impatiently. "We can't just let it go like this, can we?"
