Shen Liqiu went silent for a while and slowly sat in her seat. She looked at Yun Lintian and said. "You don't have to do it for me."
Yun Lintian laughed gently. "Don't worry. If I fail, it means I'm dead anyway."
Shen Liqiu stared at Yun Lintian for a while and smiled brightly. "I'll definitely follow you at that time."
Yun Lintian spread his arms. "I'm merely comforting you, though. Do you really think an unparcelled, handsome man like me can fail?"
"Che!" Shen Liqiu curled her lips, looking at him in disgust.
The atmosphere immediately improved after a round of joking from Yun Lintian.
He turned to Shen Shanyuan and asked. "What do you want to discuss with, Senior?"
"Just call me grandpa." Shen Shanyuan said with a kind smile. "You have been absent for a whole month and probably don't know the current situation around the world. Let me round it up for you."
"Currently, profound beast tides continue to emerge all over the place. Mostly in the coastal areas. Surprisingly, the Central Continent suffers the most compared to the other continents. They took advantage of the Star Gazing Palace, and the others have yet to recover from the previous attack and launched this."
"It's because the alliance has yet to be established officially. Everyone acts on their own, trying to protect their territory without sending help. Right now, many coastal cities are starting to crumble. It won't be long."
"Compared to the Southern and the Eastern Continent, your Northern Continent is relatively safe. For some reason, there aren't many profound beast tides over there. Perhaps they learn from the last time."
He paused for a moment and said in doubt. "Speaking of this, your Northern Continent has suffered the most previously and is currently recovering. If I were the enemy, I would definitely go full force on it."
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Indeed, the Northern Continent is currently in a recovering state, but the speed is not low. With the addition of a few powerful forces from over the place, the current overall strength of the Northern Continent is not inferior to the Eastern and the Southern Continent."
During this period, Yun Lintian's people were not idle. They had recruited a lot of wandering practitioners from the Endless Sea and various places to settle on the Northern Continent.
With the free-up space from the previous battle and a better environment, they were naturally happy to stay there. Not to mention Yun Lintian spent a lot of resources to lure them.
There was also the Golden Python, Heavenly Fox, and Deep Sea Naga Clan that Yun Meilan brought them over. Although their strength had declined, they were, after all, a long-lasting clan. Their heritages were richer than any force on the Northern Continent.
At the same time, the newly established Profound Sky Academy had attracted a lot of new students from all over the continent. Although the time was short, when these people grew up, they would become the foundation of the Northern Continent.
It could be said the Northern Continent's current direction and system was the best in the world. As long as they continued like this, they could easily surpass the Central Continent in the near future.
Shen Shanyuan nodded. "As the war broke out, the transportation between the continents became more difficult. All the resources cannot be imported, and the price has also increased several folds."
"Although Mirage Island is powerful, it's not to the point we can completely be self-sufficient without importing resources."
He paused for a second and said in a deep voice. "I want to ask you for help in this regard."
On the side, Shen Liqiu frowned slightly. Although the misunderstanding between her and Shen Shanyuan had already eased, it didn't mean she would forgive him directly. She felt his request was very rude, as he didn't even offer anything in return.
However, Yun Lintian didn't mind about it. He waved his hand, and a few storage rings immediately appeared on the table. "Senior can use this first. If it's not enough, you can go to either the Northern, Southern, or Eastern Continent to buy them. I believe you should have been aware of the grand teleporting formation here."
Shen Shanyuan looked at the contents inside the rings, and a rare astonished expression immediately appeared on his face.
"Thank you." Shen Shanyuan said calmly. He wasn't hypocritical enough to reject it.
"Shameless." Shen Liqiu expressed dissatisfaction, but Shen Shanyuan didn't care about it.
"Before this, I planned to make a cooperation with you, but it seems I don't need it anymore. I believe that we have the same goal right now." Yun Lintian said with a meaningful smile.
Shen Shanyuan responded. "Of course. To eliminate all the invaders from the Abyssal World has always been my first priority. Without achieving this step, it's useless to talk about other things."
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Then I'll excuse myself first."
"Please." Shen Shanyuan didn't stop Yun Lintian. He got up and personally sent Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu out of the room.
After the two disappeared from his sight, the white-haired old man silently appeared behind Shen Shanyuan and said. "Master."
Shen Shanyuan didn't turn around as he asked. "How's the preparation?"
The old man replied. "We are ready to go."
He hesitated briefly and asked. "Master, do you really want to do this? You know that we can take a passive stance and wait. After all, the enemy's first target is not us. We don't have to enter the Endless Sea at all."
Shen Shanyuan glanced at the clear sky and said calmly. "The future is not ours. It belongs to our descendants. We have to pave the way for them."
Since he met his father on the sixth floor back then, Shen Shanyuan's mind underwent a huge transformation. The pettiness and resentment he had were completely gone.
He knew what kind of role he should play in this upcoming war. It wasn't a backup who waited to go out as the enemy attacked, but the scout team. He wanted to go as deep as he could to dig out the Poison Valley's hideouts.
The old man went silent for a moment and knelt on one knee. "I understand it now, Master. Please let these old bones of mine accompany you to the end."
Shen Shanyuan threw the rings to the old man and said. "Give this to our people. Let them use it as much as they want. We will leave in a month."
