Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

The ship's hull emitted a low hum amidst the flames.

The already thicker hull than ordinary ships became visibly more solid and robust.

The deck was widened slightly, and the gunwale was raised.

The eerie skeletal arms distributed on both sides of the ship trembled slightly with excitement, becoming even thicker, and the eerie light emanating from them became more restrained.

The bow also features a sharp, menacing white bone ram.

The change lasted for about fifteen minutes.

The eerie blue flames gradually subsided and eventually disappeared completely into the hull.

The Redemption rested quietly on the sea, its appearance unchanged, but its aura was more solid and stable, as if it had been tempered and refined.

"The Redemption has been upgraded to level 3, and a new empty building slot has been added..."

"There isn't a suitable blueprint at the moment, so let's leave it blank for now."

"The new upgrade resources require three strange items..."

Su Zhisu looked at the [Blank Obsession Core] in her hand.

"We need to pay more attention to collecting this stuff from now on."

After checking the upgraded information of the Redemption, Su Zhisu patted the ship's side with satisfaction.

The upgraded Redemption gave him a greater sense of security. This would be his most important asset on the upcoming sea voyage.

He stowed the Redemption and returned to Atlantis.

Before setting off, I needed to say goodbye to a few people.

At the Nest of Life, he met Hydra, who was still somewhat weak but looked much better.

The dean seemed to have anticipated his arrival.

"Are you leaving?"

Hydra leaned back on the soft couch made of shimmering water, her voice gentle.

"Yes, to Hydeland."

Su Zhisu nodded.

Hydra looked at him quietly for a moment, then slowly said, "Su Zhisu, you have a great talent in alchemy, especially in 'purification' and 'bloodline,' which are the best I have seen in recent years."

"Oberyn's Alchemy Notebook ensures you don't have to worry about alchemy knowledge, but you must still walk your own path."

"Although I haven't taught you much, you are still my student, and moreover, Lord Krasin's brother..."

She raised her hand, a vibrant emerald light shining from her fingertips, and gently touched the [Oberon's Alchemy Notebook] that Su Zhisu carried with him.

The light blended into the ancient cover, causing the notebook to vibrate slightly, and a new layer of luster flowed across its surface.

"I left some of my insights into bloodlines, the weaving of life, and healing in my notebook."

"This knowledge of alchemy is not only my understanding of these aspects, but also my exploration of the power of 'life'."

"I hope they will be helpful to you... to situations you might encounter in the future."

Hydra's tone carried a barely perceptible hint of weariness and anticipation.

"Don't waste your talent. For yourself, or for those...the people you care about."

"I understand. Thank you, Dean Hydra."

Su Zhisu solemnly put away her notebook.

He could sense that the notes contained some profound and weighty knowledge, which complemented Nautilus's records of alchemy, which leaned towards the ocean, forging, and tides, yet led to another mysterious realm.

Finally, he found Lilia outside the temple.

The girl had composed herself, though her eyes were still slightly red.

"My lord, you must return safely."

Lilia gripped the [Binding Staff] tightly, her voice resolute, "I will protect this place, strive to become stronger, and wait for you to return!"

"Yes. Take good care of yourself and Lord Nautilus." Su Zhisu nodded. "I'll be back as soon as possible."

There were no more sentimental farewells.

Su Zhisu turned around and walked towards the city gate.

Lilia stood on the temple steps, watching his figure disappear into the depths of the pink and blue halo.

We didn't go directly to the bay.

Su Zhixu arrived at the outer perimeter of Atlantis, in an area that was closer to the "reality" side.

The giant tortoise Agasa has now successfully advanced to the second tier.

It floats silently like a reef in the deep sea, with seaweed swaying gently on its back.

"Agasa, I'm troubling you again."

Su Zhisu conveyed the message through her thoughts.

The giant tortoise slowly opened its house-sized eyes, and a gentle thought came through: "Thank you for your help to Atlantis, Your Excellency. As agreed, will you return to the surface?"

"Yes. I'm going to Hedland."

Agasa didn't ask any more questions, but simply adjusted his posture slowly.

Su Zhisu took out the [Random Teleportation Array Disk] left behind by Kyle Crane.

The array plate felt warm to the touch. The original energy patterns had been modified and refined, with the coordinates of the Atlantis real sea area fixed at its center.

This was clearly the work of her sister, Beamon Krasin.

He infused the array plate with strange power.

The array plate glowed with a soft, silvery-white light, rapidly expanding to form a portal that enveloped him and Agasa.

Take a step forward.

The terrifying pressure and cold of the deep sea instantly enveloped his entire body, and the Night Watch Heart Flame naturally ignited, enveloping him within it.

Under the cover of dark red seawater, only the faint phosphorescence from some bioluminescent creatures swimming in the distance could be seen.

This is the deep sea where Atlantis originally was located.

Above, there is an endless, strange sea.

"Come out, Redemption!"

With a flash of light from the pendant, the upgraded Redemption appeared in the deep sea, its hull runes glowing faintly as it withstood the water pressure.

He boarded the ship quickly.

Almost simultaneously, the enormous figure of the giant tortoise Agasa pierced through some invisible boundary and appeared next to the Redemption.

It let out a deep, long cry, slowly rose, and placed the Redemption into the even larger mound on its back.

The ascent has begun.

Eternal solitude surrounded him, with only the faint light emanating from Agassa and the occasional strange glowing creature gliding by, illuminating this "small space".

Agasa's ascent was steady, but in the boundless deep sea, without the swirling tides, the surface seemed impossibly far away.

Su Zhisu stood at the bow of the ship, vigilantly sensing the surroundings of Agasa.

The deep sea is never a safe place, especially this sea area that has just experienced war.

After floating for an unknown period of time, they had already left the deep sea area.

The pressure of the surrounding seawater had lessened considerably, but the darkness remained intense.
