North Sea.

The hazy mist shrouded the vast and boundless sea. A Karick warship, with flags of the Red Lilac and Black Eagle flying high, carried a full load of extraordinary soldiers, sailing into the depths of the mist.

At the end of the sea fog, a piece of dark land appeared intermittently in the mist. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and occasional flashes of lightning could be seen, accompanied by faint rumblings, as if harboring some terrifying power.

The bow of the battleship.

A red-haired elf in traditional elf robes put down the monocular telescope in his hand, frowning deeply.

Beside him, the captain, dressed in the Falling Star Kingdom Royal Navy uniform, stood straight, looking respectful:

"Lord Sebastian, ahead is the Moon God Island. Since the northern border was closed last year, we are probably the first visitors to Moon God Island."

Sebastian frowned and remained silent.

His gaze fell on the rolling thunder above the island. After a moment of silence, he asked:

"How long has the anomaly above the island lasted?"

"About more than a month. This past year, Moon God Island has also been closed off, not allowing any elves to leave. According to our regular investigations, about forty days ago, dark clouds began to gather above the island. Lightning began to appear around fifteen days ago and has been continuously intensifying..."

The captain respectfully replied.

"Have you found out the reason?"

The captain shook his head slightly anxiously:

"No, the intelligence is really limited. According to the measurements by mages from the Royal Mage Association, the mages suspect that the island is likely conducting some sort of legendary-level ritual, causing changes in the regional magic power concentration, leading to the abnormal weather, but that is just speculation..."

"A weather anomaly caused by changes in magic power..."

Sebastian frowned slightly.

With the fall of Helios, those "Bloodline Elves" eroded by the Fallen Primordial should have also perished. Yet now, such anomalies appear on the island...

This doesn't seem like a simple weather anomaly! Not to mention, the timing of the anomaly's appearance is so coincidental, almost aligning with the time True Ancestor defeated Helios.

Moreover...

Sebastian's gaze fell on the island's rolling thunder, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"Storm... Thunder... If I remember correctly, this should be the power wielded by the Ocean God."

"Could it be... related to the missing Ocean God?"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he said solemnly:

"Everyone, prepare for battle! And all spellcasters, bring specialized sealing runes!"

Upon hearing Sebastian's words, a few high-tier mages on the ship had a slight change in their expressions:

"Lord Sebastian, are you implying... has an Evil God resurrected on Moon God Island?!"

Sebastian shook his head:

"Just in case..."

Hearing Sebastian's words, the soldiers' expressions grew more uneasy.

Seeing everyone looking worried, Sebastian added:

"Don't worry, even if something does revive, it won't be too powerful for now. Besides... if worse comes to worst, I will pray to the great Your Majesty for divine descent!"

At this, the soldiers' expressions finally relaxed a little.

They, of course, knew which Majesty Sebastian was referring to.

With the Holy Royal Court announcing the cancellation of the purification order on the Dark Race Bloodline, various rumors about the divine descent disaster in the Holy City spread throughout Mireya.

There was much debate about the competition behind the deities, and the secrets between the Bloodline and the Holy Royal Court were even more sensational, causing a significant uproar among the nobles and commoners and intense discussion across all social strata...

Among many rumors, one matter has almost become widely acknowledged and a consensus.

That is, the Dark Night God behind the Falling Star Kingdom has been officially recognized and accepted by the central authority of the Church Authority Country of the Holy Royal Court as one of the official deities, and... not as a sub-god, but as a Main God.

Although not compared to the Creator God, it still shocked various dioceses, reportedly even causing severe dissatisfaction in several dioceses of the Holy Royal Court, including the New Moon Diocese.

Of course, for the citizens of the New Moon Kingdom, this is naturally welcome, as over the years, the Dark Night Church has already taken root and sprouted throughout the kingdom, and the true identity of the Dark Night God has long spread across the continent with the rumors of the Holy City's God War...

It's no one else... It's Queen Charlotte, who inherited the Falling Star Kingdom and holds a high reputation among both the nobility and commoners!

The fact that the reigning Queen is a deity walking the earth shocked and excited the Falling Star Kingdom.

Therefore, when Sebastian, as the Royal Steward, said he would pray for divine descent if necessary, no one doubted he could do it.

About fifteen minutes later, the warship docked at Wangxiang Port on the Deep Water Pier of Moon God Island.

After a century, Sebastian finally set foot on the land that once exiled him.

But he had no time for emotions or nostalgia.

Looking at the empty dock, he frowned deeply, and moments later, the scouting soldiers came before him to report:

"Lord Sebastian, it's not just the dock, the entire port is deserted."

"The accumulated dust in the port residents' homes is thick, probably uninhabited for at least a year."

A year...

Sebastian instinctively clenched his fist.

The exposure of the "Bloodline Elves" and the whole island's lockdown on Moon God Island also happened a year ago!

"Grab your weapons, let's head to Moon City."

He took a deep breath and said.

Moon City is the main city of Moon God Island.

As the last home of elves on the Mireya Continent, it also houses the largest elf population, with elves and half-elves totaling over a hundred thousand.

But as they delved deeper into Moon God Island, Sebastian's mood grew heavier.

Along the way, they encountered no one, making the entire island seem abandoned.

The atmosphere around was so oppressively heavy that it was suffocating. Other than the thunder and howling wind in the sky, the world was almost silent, save for the soldiers' footsteps and some heavy breathing.

This inexplicable oppression reached a new height when they arrived at Moon City.

"Lord... Lord Sebastian, Moon... Moon City, is deserted too!"

The leading scout said, somewhat fearfully.

Sebastian's expression grew increasingly severe.

The Moon City, dominated by white tones, was as magnificent as he recalled, with its towering spires, exquisite sculptures, and ubiquitous green grass and flowers, but notably... no residents.

No, not just residents; on this journey, they hadn't seen any living creatures at all.

Sebastian looked at the gray-white elf stone path on the ground.

Squatting slightly, he pinched a bit of ash like fine sand as his heart sank.

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, then slowly opened them, looking into the distance at the Moon Temple Tower at the storm's center:

"Continue forward, we're going to the Moon Temple."
