Balsa once said that the World Sea was a beautiful ocean. Even though they knew that the World Sea they saw would be different from what Balsa described, they were still shocked when they saw the World Sea with their own eyes.
In front of them was a huge Crescent Bay. Inside the bay was a part of the World Sea.
However, they couldn't see any beautiful scenery as far as the eye could see.
In the bay, powerful hurricanes roared and swept across the World Sea. No one knew how big the World Sea was, but all the seawater in the World Sea was sucked into the powerful hurricanes, revealing the dry bottom of the sea. From afar, the hurricanes looked like rapidly spinning greenish-black tops.
Not only that, as the hurricanes spun rapidly, faint traces of black brilliance floated up from the seawater that was being sucked into the hurricanes. They formed black balls above the hurricanes.
These black balls were like balls of lightning. The space around them seemed to be distorted. Streaks of black lightning flashed from time to time like cracks. They spread along the surroundings and then slowly disappeared.
Some of the sharp-eyed players noticed that through the black lightning bolts, they seemed to be able to see some red and green cross lines.
"This is the World Sea?"
Some people said in disbelief when they realized what was happening.
The beautiful World Sea?
That old NPC must have taken the wrong medicine!
This was a scene of doomsday!
Thinking back to the news that appeared on the forum when the monsters attacked the city, many players couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw the doomsday scene in the World Sea.
Although the game world seemed to be stable along the way, the World Sea looked like it was about to collapse at any time. They couldn't help but think in that direction.
"NPCs will have mission instructions when they come to the World Sea. Now that we're here, where are the mission instructions?" Someone couldn't help but feel anxious.
The players who were able to come here had proven that they were doing well in the game world. They lacked both equipment and strength. If the game world were to be destroyed because of this, their losses would be greater than anyone else's. Just like Chen Mo, they naturally didn't want the game world to be destroyed because of this.
"I'm afraid the mission instructions haven't appeared yet. Otherwise, the Orcs, Blood Breeds, and Elves would have set off long ago. They wouldn't be waiting here for us," someone said with a gloomy face.
"There's an NPC by the sea. Let's go and ask him if we can get any useful information from him!"
After recovering from their shock, everyone came to their senses. They looked around and saw an old wooden house near the edge of the World Sea.
The wooden house was built with pieces of shabby grayish-white wooden planks. Outside the wooden house, there was a bamboo rack where a few fishing nets were hung up. When everyone looked over, they saw the door of the wooden house being pushed open, and an old fisherman in gray clothes walked out.
"Go!"
It was rare to see an NPC, so the group of players rushed towards the old fisherman.
"Ha, those human players also went to ask that old man."
"But other than some nonsense, that old man actually doesn't know anything."
Some of the Beast Race players laughed when they saw the Human Race players' actions.
They had done the same thing before, but they did not get any valuable information from the NPC fisherman.
"Grandpa, may I ask why the World Sea has become like this?"
Although they knew that the reason for the World Sea's change must be the same as the monster siege, few of the players here knew why the monster siege had appeared.
"The legend, the legend is about to become reality!" The old fisherman looked at everyone and answered without answering the question.
"The legend is about to become reality?" The group of players looked at the old fisherman, not knowing what he meant.
Fortunately, the old fisherman didn't stop there and didn't say anything else.
"There's an ancient legend about the World Sea. It's said that the World Sea is the beginning of this world. This world was gradually formed from the World Sea.
The World Sea was the origin of this world. Before this world was formed, the World Sea had already existed. Moreover, the World Sea had experienced the existence of several worlds. The Creator had once turned several worlds that he wasn't satisfied with into powder and scattered them in the World Sea.
The Creator would choose to destroy worlds that he was not satisfied with. The Creator must have been dissatisfied with this world, so he wanted to destroy this world. This world is about to be destroyed, and the destruction will start from the World Sea! "
As the old fisherman spoke, his expression suddenly became agitated, and his voice became louder.
This was the origin of the World Sea. The monster siege appeared because the Creator, or GM, was dissatisfied with this game world and chose to destroy it?
The group of players looked at each other after hearing the old fisherman's words.
This legend seemed to describe the origin of the World Sea. If what the old fisherman said was true, the World Sea had a great origin.
However, the Creator, or GM, was the game creator, so why would he want to destroy the game world? No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible.
Perhaps this was just a quest.
Thinking of the expedition quest they were undertaking, many people guessed that this was just a legend. If the GM really wanted to destroy the game world, he would not have to spend any effort.
"Grandpa, how do we stop the collapse of the World Sea?"
Thinking of this, someone hurriedly asked the old fisherman. If the old fisherman answered their question, it would mean that there was new progress in the quest.
"Legend!
The legend is about to become reality! "
"There's an ancient legend about the World Sea. Legend has it that the World Sea …"
However, what made everyone's faces darken was that after hearing the question, the old fisherman repeated what he had said just now. Moreover, his expression became even more agitated.
"F * ck, so he's a lunatic!"
"What a waste of time!" someone couldn't help but curse.
In the game, no matter how low the NPC's AI was, they would not simply repeat their words. They would react accordingly to the player's actions. Judging from the old fisherman's expression and tone, it was obvious that he was a lunatic who had lost his mind. Naturally, his words couldn't be trusted.
"Hahaha!"
The Orc players in the distance couldn't help but gloat when they saw the Human players return angrily.
They had done the same thing before. Thinking of how they had seriously wanted to know the next step of the quest from a lunatic, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed. However, seeing the Human players make a fool of themselves in front of them, they immediately felt refreshed.
"The legend of the World Sea …"
Chen Mo also blended in with the crowd and finished listening to the old NPC.
Chen Mo knew some of the real inside stories of the game world. According to the old NPC, Chen Mo's part about the origin of the World Sea was very likely to be true. However, Chen Mo didn't think that was the case when he said that the creator of the game wanted to destroy the game world.
Humans and alien civilizations had entered the game world. It was obvious that the creator of the game had allowed them to enter for some purpose. Unless the creator of the game had achieved his goal or knew that it would never be achieved, there was no way he would destroy the game world.
Chen Mo had just talked to the Skeletal Witch a few days ago. From the Skeletal Witch's words, the creator of the game was very likely to be far away from the game world. Everything that was happening now was just going according to the established procedures.
Thinking of the qualification certificate he had obtained from the Miracle Hall, the expedition mission was actually a test. Although he didn't know who the creator of the game was testing, as long as he could complete the mission left by the creator of the game, the collapse of the World Sea would stop.
However, the expedition mission didn't give new instructions after coming to the World Sea like Balsa said. Chen Mo vaguely felt that this matter was probably related to the destruction of the Miracle Hall.
However, Chen Mo didn't know the truth.
There were so many mysteries …
Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had been trying his best to understand the game along the way, the more things he experienced, the bigger the mystery became. Although he was getting stronger, he didn't feel that he had made much progress.
"What should we do?"
The old fisherman didn't give any useful information. The group of Human players didn't know what to do next.
"What else can we do? Like those Orc players, we'll wait here first. In a day or two, there will probably be progress."
The players of the other races had no choice but to wait here. Although the Human players wanted to find a way out themselves, there was only a crazy NPC around. They didn't even have the chance to do anything.
"The situation is much more serious than I thought. As expected, the destruction of the Miracle Hall had a big impact."
At the edge of the World Sea, Blackbeard and the others looked at the doomsday-like scene of the World Sea with a solemn expression.
"The World Sea has become like this most likely because of the people who attacked the Miracle Hall.
Speaking of which, how many Miracle Halls have been destroyed in the world? "the middle-aged Warrior in Blackbeard's team asked faintly.
"I don't know the details, but it's said that at least seven regions and 20 to 30 Miracle Halls have been destroyed," the white-robed Priestess replied.
"Tsk, tsk. This arm is a little too big. Crossing several regions of the game and doing such a shocking thing at the same time. I don't know what kind of organization is behind this," Blackbeard said.
"Simple players definitely don't have this ability. We can only do our best."
"Hehe. Speaking of which, if those guys didn't do these tricks, it wouldn't be easy for us to come to the World Sea," Blackbeard said with a chuckle.
…
The Human players, as well as the Orcs and Blood Clan, found a place by the World Sea and stopped. They wanted to wait and see how the mission would progress.
Half a day later, a group of six humans arrived at the World Sea, covered in dust.
…
The first one was even worse.
