Chapter 1226 A Relic Of An Ancient Past.

??The entire base is not touching the ground with its bottom. Instead, there are four stands that lift it up. The golems or bots that the base is creating exit it from the base. It is as if the base is laying eggs.

These bots that the bade produces mine the surroundings and then bring the resources that they have acquired back to the base for refinement and other purposes.

"I can leave the base for a while. It should be safe for a short while."

He decided to go and get Legion-7 now. His base can protect itself for a while and no one should be so jobless as to attack him now. The position for first has already been filled and there is no reward for second so anyone who is still fighting instead of setting up their own base at this time is wasting time.

His base is also not helpless to retaliate if someone attacks it so he can be rest assured to leave it for a few minutes. He ignored the supreme beasts that he dug into the ground. They dug themselves out as soon as he left.

They all ran away in fear but one certain Supreme beast grumbled out loud. "What a freak."

Legion-5 flew over the sea of despair to the planar portal. There are a lot of people waiting there. None of them are Supreme beasts. They approached him immediately as soon as he arrived. He didn't let them rush him. Instead, he raised his hand to stop their approach.

They stopped immediately. No one dared to go against a Supreme Beast. Then he pointed at one group and beckoned for them to approach.

The leader of the group bowed a little and said, "Greetings, Supreme One. I am Lafiti of the house of Entio. I am pleased to make your acquittance. You can rest assured that I will take care of your interest with all my might. I am quite credible. You can check my credibility by checking my details."

Legion-5 ordered coldly, "Give me your information."

The merchant became happy immediately. "Here it is, Supreme One."

Legion-5 received the information and used it to check for this merchant's identity and credibility in the database of the Supreme Alliance. What he found wasn't outstanding.

This Lafiti Of of Entio is just slightly above average in the rating that the Supreme Alliance gave him. It is probably because he is a new merchant whose family gained citizenship recently. His manpower, connections, and security are still lacking despite his best efforts.

Legion-5 thought to himself. "That's also why Legion-7 could sneak in among them."

The merchant is a transcendent like him and he is not the best merchant available but he chose him.

"We will work together for the foreseeable future. I want you to start scavenging the sea of despair as soon as possible. Here is my identity token. Use it to gain access to my base and to communicate with me when you need to."

The man bowed again. "Thank you Supreme One. Thank you for your patronage. You won't regret it at all."

"Make sure I don't regret it. I can be very violent when I get angry." He warned expressionlessly. Then he ordered them, "Start work immediately."

"Right away, Supreme One." He said. Then he called to his workers.

Legion-5 led them to the sea of despair. Since they were with him, they were not killed for approaching this relic. The Sea of Despair is a historical site. The Supreme Alliance will not allow it to be destroyed. Its presence represents the failed resistance of the plane against the Supreme Alliance. It is a visible reminder of the futility of resistance.

More than 3 Origin cycles have gone past since this plane was subjugated. Some have already forgotten what this plane used to be like. They have forgotten who used to be the strongest in the plane and what the power structure used to be.

In those 3 Origin cycles, there have been 3 generations of transcendents, 30 generations of mana entities, and 3,000 generations of mortals who have died since the subjugation of the plane. Very few people with longer lifespans and were lucky enough to survive on the battlefield remember that day when the earth shook and the sky changed and blood ran like a river and people wailed and cried.

For most of the inhabitants of the plane, the plane has always been under the control of the Supreme Alliance. The sea of Despair reminds them that it wasn't always so. It also reminds those who haven't forgotten what the plane used to be about how the plane came to be like this.

So the supreme alliance won't let anyone come close to it to destroy it. But they will allow the corpse of the defeated to benefit their young.

This merchant group will search for anything valuable in the sea of despair.

It is something that every participant of the rite of passage wants to do because they know that there are a lot of valuable things here. The information provided by the Supreme Alliance stated that they left 3 Sovereign seeds of power on the battlefield after taking the rest.

The sovereign seeds or power are worth one point each. He can find those himself so he intends to leave the rest of the good things in the sea of despair to the merchant to find. He has better things to do than to scour the large sea of despair for things.

He is an outlier in this aspect. Other young supreme beasts won't even be able to find the seeds of power quickly. They will have to rely on the merchant. It is because the sea of despair is very large while his divine sense is too strong and too wide.

Legion-5 plans to take the most important things now so that no one will be able to take them. Then he will leave fragments of broken weapons and other things available on the battlefield. The only thing that can't be taken are the corpses, bones, and the soil of the ancient battlefield.
