Ji Chen furrowed his brow, as if recalling something, and suddenly gathered a strand of oceanic power in his palm.

Those eyes seemed to light up—though unseen, the sensation was crystal clear.

“A trap…be careful…”

“Gaining power… much more…”

Watching the ghost ship still being enigmatic, Ji Chen spoke bluntly.

“If you keep talking like that, I might not be so polite.”

The ghost ship fell silent, sensing that Ji Chen was genuinely getting annoyed, and couldn’t help but feel a bit afraid, as Ji Chen could now genuinely harm it.

“That was the Storm Authority, also a trap set by the demon… He reminded me to increase my strength faster… To defeat the demon… The crisis is imminent, there’s no time left.”

Though still stuttering, the ghost ship managed to convey a complete sentence.

“The Storm Authority? So, the power I sensed earlier was a trap set by the demon?”

“Yes…”

“The demon who set it?”

“…Maldonis. They want the power you possess.”

Ji Chen’s eyes flickered as he continued to inquire, “I understand. So, who did you mean by ‘He’?”

A moment of silence, as the ghost ship seemed to ponder whether to speak or not.

“I’m not in a hurry. Take your time to decide when you want to tell me.”

Ji Chen said calmly, but with a wave of his hand, the power of the ocean surged out, dissolving the mist upon contact and surrounding the ghost ship, with power fluctuating.

Ghost Ship: o.o?

After a while, the voice of the ghost ship sounded, somewhat plaintive.

“Eluvita said to remind and help you.”

Ji Chen’s mind trembled, “Eluvita!?”

Eluvita, also known as the Mother of Elves, was a god-level deity worshipped and revered by billions of elves, the most powerful deity in the Orderly Divine Lineage, wielding dozens of powerful authorities, and even rumored to be one of the incarnations of the Creator God.

Such a towering deity, both in fame and power, actually cared about him, a mere human?

Then what was her intention?

Could it be that Eluvita was the entity behind summoning players to this world?

Was the military talent tree also her gift?

With myriad thoughts swirling in his mind, a slew of questions emerged one after another like mushrooms after the rain.

It wasn’t that Ji Chen was overthinking, but the news was too shocking, and he vaguely felt that he was touching the edge of the truth.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Ji Chen took a deep breath and asked in as calm a tone as possible.

“Why?”

“I don’t know, she didn’t say.”

Ji Chen paused, realizing that the ghost ship indeed didn’t know, and didn’t press further, instead turning to the next question.

After finally catching up to it, wouldn’t he be at ease until he had asked all the doubts in his heart?

However, after asking several questions about Eluvita in a row, the ghost ship didn’t know anything, as if it was just sent to execute orders with a single sentence.

Helpless, Ji Chen had to ask, “Have you been following me all this time?”

“Yes, Eluvita granted me a portion of ‘foresight’ authority, allowing me to know some things that will happen later, so I can remind you.”

Foresight authority?

Ji Chen’s expression changed. Foresight authority was precisely one of the authorities possessed by Eluvita, capable of predicting the laws and trends of all things, thus allowing for preemptive reactions.

Foresight authority was one of the most powerful authorities.

Sensing Ji Chen’s change in expression, the ghost ship retreated slightly, looking somewhat fearful.

Hastily, it said, “The authority was bestowed by Eluvita. She would be angry if it were taken away.”

Ji Chen smirked maliciously, “Why would I take it away? Be good and let me see what it’s like..”
