Summary

The chapter discusses the aftermath of an invasion where the Ocean Empire, initially expecting the invaders to turn on each other, is instead annihilated by them. In response, ocean powers decide to befriend invaders to ensure survival. The Na Jia tribe initially resists cooperating with Mei Lun but submits after he demonstrates his strength. Mei Lun learns about the division of the ocean world into nineteen sea areas and the dominance of the Ocean Kingdom, ruled by a legendary giant turtle. Mei Lun marks the Na Jia with a restriction, promising to lift it if they cooperate. Meanwhile, Xin Ke, another character, finds himself on a desolate rocky outcrop but eventually learns about a contest hosted by the Ocean Kingdom, inviting outsiders to participate for wealth. As he prepares to join, he discovers that Mei Lun is also present in the same sea area. They reunite and share their experiences, with Mei Lun revealing his alliances with powerful ocean tribes. Xin Ke shares information about the Gray Tide Sea, the core of the Ocean Empire's downfall, suggesting it may hold a super-spec treasure born from the conflict and resentment of the past. Mei Lun contemplates the potential dangers of such treasures.
