Chapter 1063: Chapter 564: The Best Water Management Strategy, Pirate Emperor! (Part 2)

Among the Transcendents who explored the Deadman’s World, the one who delved the deepest was likely the sage who ushered in the Renaissance, the last of the old era and the first poet of the new era, Dante.

For reasons unknown, his soul journeyed across the world, eventually writing the epic "Divine Comedy," yet he could not break through the boundaries of the Material World.

However, since Byron gathered the three known continents, one archipelago [Dragon Court], [Hundred Beasts Paradise], [Corridor of Truth], and the Nether Authority within the Bantaan Archipelago, obtaining the [Styx of the Nether River], his perception of the world’s edge sharply enhanced.

He vaguely senses that this abyss and the Nether River seem to connect with other regions atop the Sea of Origin Matter.

Especially when referencing the Church’s "Gospel of Creation," which describes the world as a giant sailboat navigating the vast Sea of Origin Matter.

Beyond their world are endless others, similarly sailing like enormous ships in isolation on the Sea of Origin Matter.

Thus, Byron boldly conjectured that the Nether River might indeed flow into other worlds, possibly serving as a bridge to other realms.

He gazed into the endless distance of the Nether River’s end, his eyes slightly dazed, subconsciously muttering:

"At the transition between the Paleozoic Era and Mythological Era, during the first Great Flood, beings like the [Mother of Monsters], symbolizing matriarchal authority, chose to escape the flood by boarding the [Noah’s Ark].

At the transition between the Mythological Era and the Silver Era, during the second Great Flood, beings like the [Creator], representing patriarchal authority, chose to devour the divinity of gods, uniting all humans to forge the [Silver Code] and seal the breach — using ’blocking’ as a method to control the flood.

But the side effects were severe, transforming both the Material World and itself into an isolated system; the longer the time, the faster the entropy increase, the more chaotic the system becomes, ultimately causing the Creator to continuously fracture, the dam now teetering.

Moreover, the external waters rise ever higher the more they are blocked, making the potential breach increasingly dangerous.

We are now at the transition between the Silver Era and the Spiral Annals Epoch, with another Great Flood impending.

The [Noah’s Ark] has run aground here, without inviting the deity that is the [Mother of Monsters] away, it never can serve as an escape vessel.

Proven fact, using ’blocking’ to manage water is merely consuming poison to quench thirst; if we wish to survive, we must find a new approach to preserve this world and all mankind..."

At that moment, the end of the Nether River seemed to manifest illusions of other worlds, deserted and barren, while a bold idea surfaced in Byron’s mind.

"The world’s edge is the lowest layer of the Material World, equivalent to the sailboat’s bottom deck; it is common knowledge for people to ascend and water to flow downwards.

The secret to managing the water is not blocking... but diverting!

Perhaps it is time to assist the family in elevating those uncles and brothers who have transformed into undead to master the world’s edge, crowning them as various Kings of the Undying, Undead Dukes. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

When the Source Tide stream enters the Material World vessel at the ’waterline’, diverting the flood to this world edge, then collaboratively family members can employ ’diversion’ to transport these waters to those... ahem."

Byron at this point vigorously shook his head, temporarily dispelling the idea from his mind.

Only with a great appetite would one eat many bowls of rice, but he was not yet this world’s ’Captain’, unable to grasp the fate of all mankind.

This was merely a vague, fleeting initial thought.

Besides, the world’s edge hosts various complex forces, even the Fifth Order Pseudo-Gods risen from the Silver Era are not absent.

Even with the support of him, the [King of the Wild Hunt] wielding Nether Authority, the Lancaster Family’s conquest of this area is no less challenging than the Material World.

His utmost priority now is to ensure the fledgling North Sea Empire gains a foothold at the forefront facing the Eastern Continent, unifying the Bayfolk’s power, striving to swiftly coalesce out a [Crown].

"Once the spoils of this battle are digested, the next stop is East Continent [Corridor of Truth]!"

Byron decisively leaped toward the grand waterfall to the side.

Ordinary Ghost Ships, to depart here and traverse between realms, need a permit, charging into the two sides of the waterfall to ascend against the current.

Byron, as the master of the Nether River, need not be so cumbersome, simply leaping toward the waterfall, vision flipped, returning to where he had left.

...

Upon Byron’s return to the Material World, adapting to the dim twilight after the dissipated storm, he was greeted with a massive surprise.

The air’s Source Tide fluctuated violently, the seven-layered Law Network of [Silver Code] emerged above the entire fleet.

From the grand fleet, chains of anchor shot skyward, each latching onto one layer of the first four levels of the law net.

If not clarified, one would think the Deep Sea Fleet was launching a boarding assault against the Silver Code.

Chains hooked onto the first three layers are relatively plentiful, the fourth layer the sparsest.

Among them, the brightest ones all originated from [The Golden Deer], with Guardian Knight [Iron Wall] Bruh’s anchor chain the thickest.

This [Oath Knight], [Half-Night Demon], [Red Dragon Lizard Warrior], along with the unifying power of "Flow State," already far surpasses ordinary Third Order Transcendents in strength.

Now, clad in full Oath Regalia: [Knight Armor·Sun Protection Holy Wall], [Belt·Bai Xilei], [Fairy Horse·Glingrett], his entire being bathed in the glow of the law.
