Chapter 733: Position
A flying vessel drifted slowly through the Shattered Star Sea.
Inside the vessel, six Astral Gods worked in tandem, carefully sensing the surrounding environment for any potential danger.
"Jingya, from this point onward, we're entering the Shattered Star Sea," one of them said to a newcomer, whose aura still carried the rawness of inexperience.
With a solemn and measured tone, he continued, "This place is different from anywhere else. It's said that a great battle once unfolded here. Dozens of alien Cosmic Radiances infiltrated the area to ambush a supreme prodigy protected by a guardian.
"The clash eventually forced a Sacred Monarch to intervene, and in a sweeping display of power, he obliterated all the Cosmic Radiances involved. The aftermath left behind remnants of energy, which eventually condensed into matter. That incident is what formed this Shattered Star Sea.
"Here, countless Astral World Fragments and cosmic dust constantly travel at incredible speeds. If we're not careful, they could strike our bodies at any moment.
"Even though we've already forged Divine Bodies, a sudden impact from such fragments could still be deadly. We must remain on high alert... A single mistake could expose us to the power of the Eternal Oblivion Force."
The words "Eternal Oblivion Force" made the newly advanced Astral God visibly tense.
He nodded with a solemn face. "I'll be careful."
Another Astral God in the vessel watched as the elder advised his younger kin. He couldn't help but sigh, sorrow welling in his chest. "The Zi Clan once built a grand city on the Cangjie Continent. We ruled over more than a million citizens and commanded thousands of Astral Gods, nearly a tenth of whom served our house. We basked in glory.
"But now... after suffering persecution from the Divine Treasury Hall, we've been forced into exile. Even us elders must take on such dangerous tasks just to earn meager income..."
Cangjie Continent wasn't one of the four core continents, but as a land created by the White Emperor, it was still considered one of the top-tier domains, offering considerable safety.
