The Amethyst Saint and his remaining forces are cornered by Gondor's Three Heroes. After a year-long battle, the Amethyst Saint is finally defeated and slain, marking the end of the Amethyst Race and the Council of Ten Thousand Clans.

"Look up, Your Majesty has a question for you."

"Mm."

A jolt went through their hearts as the two of them raised their heads. They saw the young man standing next to Carl, and their own hearts began to pound.

The sheer pressure of his bloodline caused them to unconsciously hold their breath.

The Vampire King!

Fang Heng!

Ever since the real world faced the crisis of the hell invasion, Fang Heng had already ascended to a god-like status in the eyes of the players.

Rumors circulating claimed Fang Heng had already ventured into the highest-tier game worlds.

They had never in their wildest dreams expected to encounter him here.

Excitedly, they bowed once more: "We pay our respects, Your Majesty!"

"Rise."

Fang Heng lifted a hand, walking first towards the hall's exit. "I have some matters to attend to. Take me to the Black Sea World. We leave immediately."

Accompanying the king on official business?

Securing an advantage by following him!?

The two exchanged a look, excitement immediately flaring in their eyes. They hurriedly stood and followed, "Yes!"

As Fang Heng headed towards the vampire teleportation area, he inquired, "First, tell me about the Black Sea World."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The elder player, Meng Qingyu, composed himself. After organizing his thoughts, he explained, "Our team stumbled upon the Black Sea World about three years ago through a specific questline. From then on, our team's primary focus gradually shifted towards the Black Sea World, designating it as our next development hub."

"The Black Sea World is an expansive realm, comprised of numerous interconnected islands. Each island, along with its empire and various pirate factions, forms a crucial component of this world."

"Currently, we have already established a small fleet within the game's context, and it is affiliated with a mid-sized island empire."

"Furthermore, the empires and pirate groups inhabiting this world all offer their worship to the Sea God. There are seven known Sea Gods. Without pledging allegiance to any deity, ships are exceedingly vulnerable to attacks from sea monsters, often resulting in capsizing."

Meng Qingyu paused, then continued, "Based on our deductions, we have yet to reach the true core of the game. We surmise that the ultimate core is likely intertwined with the seven Sea Gods."

"Mm."

Fang Heng gave a slight nod and pressed further, "Have you acquired any intelligence regarding the Black Castle within the Black Sea World?"

"Yes."

Meng Qingyu nodded affirmatively. "By the time we arrived, the Black Castle had already made its appearance in the Black Sea World. However, as we belong to different empires situated far apart, our interactions were limited to mere hearsay; we had no direct encounters."

The other female player, Guo Ran, added, "Your Majesty, the vampire high command recently disseminated a mission tasking us with gathering intelligence on the Black Castle. We attempted to establish contact but were unsuccessful. There has been no recent news concerning the Black Castle. It's possible it's facing difficulties or perhaps hasn't yet entered the Black Sea World."

"I see. In any event, escort me into the Black Sea World first."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Please hold on for a moment. We will enter the Black Sea World first and then promptly dispatch an invitation to you. You will be able to use the cursed scale provided within the invitation to enter that realm."

"Good."

Fang Heng nodded slightly, watching as the two players stepped into the teleportation portal.

Shortly thereafter, an invitation arrived in his possession via the game's special mail system.

Fang Heng tore open the invitation envelope, quickly perused its contents, and then retrieved the black scale affixed to the bottom of the parchment.

[Hint: Player Meng Qingyu invites you to enter the Sea God World. Do you accept?]

Faint ripples enveloped Fang Heng, and he vanished along with them.

...

[Hint: Player has entered a special world: Sea God World.]

[Hint: Player's world adaptation: 100%.]

[Hint: Player has triggered a world-line mission - Set Sail.]

Mission Name: Set Sail.

Mission Description: A world dominated by the ocean. Assemble your own naval fleet and achieve dominion over the entire oceanic expanse.

Mission Requirement: Form a fleet.

Mission Reward: King of Gods' points.

The distinct aroma of salt-laden sea breeze wafted into his nostrils.

Fang Heng opened his eyes once more, finding himself situated in the heart of decrepit ruins within a small coastal township.

Ruins of a deity?

Fang Heng surveyed his surroundings, a sudden recollection surfacing of Feng Tiya, an adversary he had faced during the preliminary stages of the Martial Apex Tournament a few days prior.

Whispers suggested she might be the Empress of the sea race.

He pondered if she had any connection to this current world.

Fang Heng cast another glance at the mission notification.

This world presented a distinct difference; upon entering the game world, the main world mission was instantly initiated.

"Your Majesty."

Meng Qingyu and Guo Ran were already positioned nearby, awaiting his arrival. Upon observing Fang Heng's teleportation completion, they hastened forward to offer their respects.

"Mm."

Fang Heng contemplated his immediate course of action.

This current mission revolved around locating the Black Orb.

The key to accessing the Black Orb world remained in Charlene's possession, thus necessitating the tracking of her movements.

It was evident that Charlene was presently within a restricted, sealed zone.

Previous assumptions about her precise location had met with a peculiar hindrance, and it was only through the assistance of the Star Clan that Charlene's general whereabouts in this world were confirmed.

Proceeding step by step.

Initially, the movements of the Black Castle needed to be scrutinized.

Should the Black Castle be located, Charlene's position would become readily apparent.

However, the present resources were rather limited.

The vampires' expansion within this realm faced restrictions.

Fang Heng organized his thoughts, then turned to Meng Qingyu and Guo Ran. "What is the status of your world's mission line?"

Meng Qingyu's eyes lit up, and he promptly responded, "Our team has established a fleet. Our immediate objective is to secure the trust of the royal family, positioning ourselves as the Empire's designated maritime Chamber of Commerce. Operating under the Empire's banner for sea voyages will greatly assist us in circumventing numerous difficulties."

"The mission's completion primarily hinges on cultivating strong ties with the royal family, engaging in trade to counteract rival pirate chambers, and bolstering our influence across the seas."

Fang Heng gave a slight shake of his head.

The mission's progress was sluggish, still in its nascent stages.

The Black Castle had likely already ascended to higher-tier game levels; otherwise, the fundamental strength of this world wouldn't permit it to influence astrological predictions.

An indiscriminate search would be a mere stroke of luck.

Perhaps diligently following the mission's trajectory would yield information about the Black Castle more swiftly.

While deep in thought, a seagull descended and alighted upon Meng Qingyu's shoulder.

Meng Qingyu gently stroked its head, retrieved the missive from beneath its feet, and his brow furrowed, displaying a hint of worry.

Fang Heng inquired, "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, our merchant vessel was ambushed by a pirate collective."

"Indeed? Someone dares to prey upon the vampires?"

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched subtly.

Very well.

They would commence from the current mission line.

Fang Heng swiftly conjured a mark before him.

Chi!
