Chapter 1593: Chapter 959: World Island

The mountain range adjacent to Coastal City serves as a natural barrier against the Endless Sea. This range is vast and unending, with only occasional gaps blocked by various coastal cities, likely forming a second line of defense forged by the World Will’s own great power.

The side of the mountain facing the sea has been shaped into a sheer, wave-like cliff from the relentless battering of monstrous waves, yet the mountain persists in standing firm against such onslaughts.

In a seaside cave hidden within this mountain range, Tao Yu tossed a Storage Gem in his hand, smiling slightly.

“This fellow’s stock isn’t bad. I wonder if there are other places, but I can’t be bothered to spend time looking.”

This fellow’s method of treasure storage is indeed clever. Under the influence of the Endless Sea, ordinary space equipment nearby might be affected by world collisions, causing malfunction or even loss of internal items.

This Ross specifically found a Space Gem that straddled the quality threshold, and the aura of the Endless Sea concealed the gem’s fluctuations.

Aside from this, the gem had several simple yet perilous traps arranged outside. The interior of the gem was also equipped with poisonous substances, curses, alarms, and various concealed items.

Tao Yu thought that even if someone with Divine Road strength reached here, they would likely be engulfed, especially with a set of Unity Pendant-like Sacred Objects alerting Ross.

However, no matter how ingenious a setup is, it holds little meaning in the face of absolute strength. Tao Yu quickly examined all the contents inside.

There was a Divine Artifact Fragment carrying a hint of Divine Power, its value undoubtedly surpassing common Sacred Objects. Additionally, there were five Sacred Objects with various uses, along with numerous rare resources.

Anything Ross took the trouble to hide like this must not be cheap. However, due to the fluid nature of Yuan Force, the other side had no quick means to monetize it and was waiting for a destined person, either to sell Yuan Force or to exchange it for their own needs.

“But I am that destined person. I initially thought the items for sale were a bit monotonous. Although selling too many high-value items in a short period might not fetch a favorable Yuan Force exchange, exchanging for other things like Authority isn’t impossible…”

Tao Yu waved his hand and took everything away.

As for whether Ross had other treasure hiding spots, Tao Yu didn’t care. He didn’t have the time to look for them, considering them as future relics or secret treasure copies for some lucky individuals.

The Empire might have ties with the Nine Heavens Divine Road, perhaps even involving other True Gods, but Tao Yu wasn’t afraid of that.

“However, it’s more prudent to first convert and complete the subsequent Deification paths of the Human Dao and the Original World, and then come back later if necessary.”

The nature of the Nine Heavens Divine Road had been uncovered by Tao Yu through many dealings.

The simple and easily bullied are directly crushed with overwhelming might, leaving no chances or loose ends.

Once they discover a hard opponent, they become exceedingly cautious, searching for opportunities.

Even now, the event with Ming God’s death remains covered up; even if they called for reinforcements, they would not act impulsively against this side.

“My being here isn’t a secret. They know it’s their old friend, and since the place where Ming God died is so near, they naturally will make certain connections. Hah, speculation doesn’t need evidence…”

In this situation, Tao Yu doubted the Nine Heavens Divine Road would blatantly send everyone to attack, whether they continue to plan before acting remains uncertain.

Besides, he couldn’t stay here waiting for that long.

So, selling things first!

As long as their intelligence lags behind the updates, I will always have the upper hand!

When it comes to Divine Spirits, Tao Yu was confident but not blindly arrogant. Last time, killing the Ming God was by sheer grinding effort. Delaying here for a few months could lead to massive losses if the Mysterious World collapses afterward.

This situation differs from last time with Ming God. If a conflict truly erupts, it would be complete warfare.

If one among the remaining three True Gods or the five False Gods escapes, I’ll be in constant distress…

In the end, it all depends on oneself…

…

Tarona awoke with a full-body numbness, feeling lethargic and unwilling to move a muscle.

Indescribably, she pulled a bedsheet over herself, her unfocused gaze slowly returning to clarity, a trace of reminiscence mixing with some melancholy.

Still ended up doing it…

Hopefully, it will be of some use…

However, her expression froze suddenly. Once her Divine Sense recovered, she noticed the room was empty, with only faint traces of the other person left behind. Such a significant True God vanished without a trace.

She quickly found a note left on the desk.

‘Deposit received, I’ll be back soon.’

On the back of the note was a small abstract smiley face, which instantly breached Tarona’s defenses.

It felt like the smiley face was mocking her.

“Are you kidding me! It’s only the second day! Can’t you pretend a bit?!

Cheated!

Tarona seethed with indescribable rage, but after a moment of recollection, she realized that she hadn’t entirely lost out. The numbing sensation was addictively soothing…

Quickly, she brushed these thoughts aside. Without the external True God support, what should be done now…

“Oh, I should go discuss this with Cui Lisi, and start preparing an escape route early on…”

If worst comes to worst, she’ll have to flee and take refuge in Baixing State.

The other side should provide some protection, sigh…

…

On the pitch-black sea surface of the Endless Sea, waves toppled, with the chasm between troughs and peaks large enough to fit a massive mountain, the terrifying downward crash of the waves could ignite fire upon the sea’s surface.
