"Moreover, I can't find the source of its recognition—it seems to have suddenly known it." Qiuqiu's voice grew increasingly peculiar.

"Could it be that other continents have records of the Net Water Elemental, and by accident, the creatures of the Endless Sea learned about it?" Yingying couldn't help but speculate.

"It's possible." Lin Su replied via telepathy, then turned to Tang Juran beside him, "Tang, have you ever heard of the Net Water Elemental?"

"Huh?" Tang Juran shook his head in confusion, "What's that?"

"It's nothing." Lin Su left the puzzled Tang Juran and continued to communicate with the five little ones, "There's nothing in the Northern Divine Region; the probability is also low in the West Profound Domain."

After all, the Beast Taming line knows pet beasts best, and the Beast Taming line in the Northern Divine Region is the strongest.

The five little ones continued to speculate, but none seemed to match.

"Let me try again." Qiuqiu couldn't help but use spiritual power to probe into the Endless Sea again.

A moment later, it raised its head with a puzzled expression, "This time I detected an elite-level ancient beast that's only about ten years old."

"Does it also know about the Net Water Elemental?" Lin Su couldn't help but ask.

"No, but its mother does..." Qiuqiu responded via telepathy, the strange expression on its face growing stronger, "Its mother told it that if it didn't behave, the Net Water Elemental would appear to punish it."

Lin Su: "..."

The four little ones: "..."

Why does this feel like the cop might arrest you vibe?

"Should we..." Lin Su was about to suggest that Qiuqiu probe a few more ancient beasts of the Endless Sea when he was interrupted by a sudden change.

A powerful immortal presence surged into the sky, rushing over quickly.

Judging by the aura, it was at least a sixth realm level.

Faced with such an opponent, the seven immortals of the Northern Divine Region simultaneously became alert, each displaying their aura and standing off against the presence from afar.

"This is the Endless Sea. Who are you?"

The immortal's eyes were full of vigilance and gravity.

"We are traveling from the Northern Divine Region to the Eastern Extreme Domain, now returning to the Northern Divine Region." Zou Mingruo spoke aloud, her voice resonating through the nearby sea areas, "We mean no offense, just passing through."

Her eyes carried a hint of gravity.

This immortal was not much to worry about, but if engaging attracted other immortals, it would be dangerous for everyone present.

"Returning to the Northern Divine Region?" The immortal glanced at the direction in which they were moving.

That indeed was the direction of the Northern Divine Region.

It took another look at the people in front of it.

Excluding the legendary Beast Tamer leading the group, the strength of the other humans seemed ordinary.

Apparently, the human expert the king is looking for is not here.

It's not yet time to reveal the truth, and they mustn't let these humans realize that the entire Endless Sea is under the control of the Southern Wastes, or they will surely become suspicious.

As per the king's plan, they still have to pretend to be battling the Endless Sea in front of these humans.

Thinking of this, the immortal spoke calmly, "Since that's the case, you should leave quickly. The ancient beasts of the Southern Wastes will hunt here in a few days."

After speaking, the immortal retreated tens of thousands of meters, indicating it bore no hostility.

Seeing this, Zou Mingruo breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly signaled the group of immortals to quicken their pace of departure.

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't fear this immortal before her.

But at this moment, with so many people, returning safely to the Northern Divine Region is most important.

Both sides took a step back, and everyone was happy.

The crisis dissipated, and everyone sitting on the back of the immortal roc breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Lin Su couldn't help but reveal a grave expression.

Immortals of the Southern Wastes appearing so freely in the Endless Sea, even acting as masters and questioning the intentions of people from the Northern Divine Region, made him sense something was wrong.

According to his understanding of the Endless Sea, such actions would be a great provocation to the immortals of the Endless Sea, and they wouldn't stand idly by.

Unless the entire Endless Sea had been completely suppressed by the Time Master.

Having fought the Time Master, Lin Su knew the opponent had the strength to do so.

With this, the rate at which the Time Master's power grows will likely increase rapidly!

Two hundred years ago, it was already at the eighth realm; now it's likely close to the ninth realm.

For a moment, Lin Su felt a heightened sense of alert.

Time Master...

He couldn't help but gaze toward the direction of the Southern Wastes, lost for words.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

After the appearance of the immortal, the group from the Northern Divine Region encountered no further trouble, and the journey went smoothly.

The long coastline of the Northern Divine Region appeared on the horizon.

With the seven immortals speeding along, the continent of the Northern Divine Region quickly magnified in everyone's eyes.

People from the Northern Divine Region couldn't suppress expressions of excitement.

They were finally going home!

Among the crowd, only Lin Su's expression was quite complex.

This complexity had nothing to do with the imminent arrival at the Northern Divine Region, but with the events of the two-day journey across the Endless Sea.

During the two-day period, Qiuqiu constantly dragged various ancient beasts from the Endless Sea into dreamland, inquiring about traces of Lanlan within the dreams.

Their responses showed astonishing consistency.

The Net Water Elemental hadn't appeared in the Endless Sea for hundreds of years.

Yet every ancient beast queried knew directly or indirectly about the Net Water Elemental in detail, even down to what skills it had.

Moreover, they all believed the Net Water Elemental would inevitably be born one day.

Especially due to ongoing plundering by ancient beasts from the Southern Wastes, the notion of the Net Water Elemental coming to save all creatures in the Endless Sea had emerged among them.

Lanlan did not actually exist in the real Endless Sea and hadn't been pursued by the Time Master, which was good news for Lin Su.

But the Net Water Elemental becoming akin to a Faith Totem in the Endless Sea gave him an odd feeling.

Could Lanlan's reappearance be related to the path of Faith Evolution?

As his thoughts fluctuated, the immortals had already completely stepped onto the Northern Divine Region, shaking off the intangible feeling of the Sea Breaking Barrier and rejoicing at the familiar air of the Northern Divine Region.

"Lin Su, welcome to the Northern Divine Region." Zou Mingruo approached Lin Su and spoke with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to the upcoming journey." Lin Su snapped back to reality and quickly replied.

After speaking, he couldn't help but turn to look back at the Endless Sea behind him.

"Yo? ╚(⊙o⊙)╝" (Hmm?)

Yingying lightly shook his head, suspiciously looking around.

Why did he feel a strange sensation upon reaching the Northern Divine Region?

It must be an illusion, right?

At the same time, somewhere deep, dark, and bottomless in the Northern Divine Region, within a cavern of unknown size, a pair of eyes slowly opened, like flames in the dark, spewing dazzling light.

"I feel my brother's presence!"

Its excited voice echoed mightily in the enclosed cavern, reverberating endlessly.

Over two hundred years...

After more than two hundred years, it felt its brother's presence once more.

Over two hundred years ago, to escape an enemy, the brother crossed the Endless Sea, fleeing to the Eastern Extreme Domain, and vanished without a trace.

Relying on a thread of bloodline connection, this terrifying existence gazed across the endless distance toward one place, its eyes reflecting a black dragon bathed in blood-red flames.

"No! It's not my brother!"

"Who is it?!"
