Cangqiong Mountain, Cloud Mist Island.

"Hahaha, so you’re saying Yuan Shijie had a major setback this time?"

Zhang Yujiang, dressed in military uniform with silver-white hair and a rugged face, couldn’t help but laugh heartily upon hearing that his old rival had hit a snag.

A bald man in military uniform nearby also looked curious and asked, "Is this Yangshan Leader really that formidable?"

"I know Ding Huaiyi’s strength well. Although his main attribute isn’t 100 points, with all the military gear, his strength is not less than that of a 100-point attribute."

"Moreover, there are several regimental-level figures who, with various gear, can also exert combat power of 100 points in the main attribute."

"Otherwise, we would have already taken down the Hawk Faction."

At this moment, a woman below spoke up, "I think this is an opportunity."

The woman wore a military uniform, her short hair resting at her shoulders, without makeup but with a stunning face, delicate skin, and a high nose bridge.

Her voice was very clear and pleasant, and both Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang looked at her.

Zhang Yujiang smiled warmly and said, "Comrade Zhang Wenjing, what insights do you have?"

Zhang Wenjing smiled slightly and said, "There are rumors that our Dove Faction is not as strong as the Hawk Faction, but now the military’s only floating island is in our hands."

"Our radio has spread much rune technology, doomsday water rescue rules, and so on, saving countless people."

"We are the true inheritors of the principles of the people’s soldiers before the Great Flood, truly putting the people first." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Yuan Shijie, this opportunist and extremist, will never become a major force."

"I’ve long said that he would fail sooner or later."

"I think perhaps now is the time for him to meet his end!"

Feng Jiangong asked, "Comrade Wenjing, elaborate."

Zhang Yujiang also looked at his daughter.

Zhang Wenjing’s eyes gleamed, and she said, "I’ve looked into the intelligence on this Liang Yuan from Yangshan."

"He holds a great reputation among the populace, and there are many rumors about him. Both the order and atmosphere of his Yangshan are well-regarded in all the Linjiang shelters."

"Such a leader, his shelter development philosophy is very close to our Dove Faction’s salvation principles."

"I think we can win him over."

"If we can pull Yangshan into our camp, the threat from the Hawk Faction would crumble on its own."

Feng Jiangong curiously asked, "Do you really think so highly of this person?"

Zhang Wenjing took out a document and handed it to the two of them, saying, "This is the information I’ve gathered."

"Yangshan is no longer an ordinary force. According to the information I’ve received, this Liang Yuan has likely broken through to 100 points in his main attribute."

"Not only that, he disappeared over a month ago on the Dark Attribute Floating Island and now, showing such immense power."

"I suspect that he has refined that Dark Attribute Floating Island."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang showed slight changes in their expressions.

Feng Jiangong said in a grave tone, "If he has refined a floating island, then he indeed qualifies to cooperate with us."

He himself was the one who refined the Brain Core Core of the Cloud Mist Island, and he naturally understood the potential and resources that come with refining such a floating island.

Zhang Yujiang also understood what this represented, and his expression grew more serious.

"Is the information reliable?" he asked.

Zhang Wenjing nodded, "There’s an eighty to ninety percent chance it is. In fact, we should have contacted the people of Yangshan much earlier."

"Yangshan’s Space King Li Qinghua, he refined a Spatial Floating Island, which is something we can’t even compare with."

"For this reason alone, it’s worth us drawing them in."

"Initially, when he came to the military base for aid, we were a step late, and Yuan Shijie from Cangqiong Mountain got to him first."

"Now that Yuan Shijie’s ambitions are revealed, I believe the people of Yangshan are well aware of his true nature. It won’t be hard for us to win them over now."

The Dove Faction had originally aimed to win over Li Qinghua from the beginning.

In the current recognition of all the force leaders, it was generally believed that only those who controlled a floating island could truly hold a territory and possess the means to survive in the Flood World.

And everyone clearly knew that the future was indeed going to be different.

The emergence of floating islands represented a moveable territory.

As such, the real boundaries of territories would become blurred.

The concept of a nation might soon truly vanish.

The future Flood World would be composed of various forces, with floating islands as units.

However, when Li Qinghua came, he was directly intercepted by the military’s Hawk Faction.

Li Qinghua wasn’t aware of the internal situation of the military and thus regarded Yuan Shijie as the leader of the military.

He didn’t even know there was a Dove Faction in the military.

Even Liang Yuan only learned about it after Wu Meng mentioned it.

"Hmm, you’re right. Them mastering two floating islands simultaneously should indeed be taken seriously," Feng Jiangong nodded.

Zhang Yujiang said, "Wenjing, I’ll leave this matter to you."

"Hmm, I’ll immediately send someone to contact them."

...

"Boom!"

Amidst a snowy field, an explosive boom erupted.

Suddenly, the snow burst open, revealing a vast area of floodwater beneath.

A figure sprang up from the water, splashing as it emerged through the surface.

Wen Fang clutched his chest, coughing up fresh blood.

Yet, as the superpower energy in his body circulated, mists merged into his body.

In no time, his complexion turned rosy, and his internal injuries quickly healed.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Fang did not dare pause for even a moment, sprinting madly towards Denggong Mountain.

Denggong Mountain was an early base occupied by the Water God Sect.

Even before obtaining the Miyuan Rainforest Floating Island, it had always been the core of the Water God Sect.

After the Water God Sect seized the Miyuan Rainforest Floating Island, the higher organization had already moved onto the Miyuan Rainforest.

The Water God Sect’s strongest Tide Mastermind had already been moved onto the Miyuan Rainforest.

The central holy authority had also entirely shifted to the Miyuan Rainforest.

Only the Drowning Spirit Guard and the Abyssal Stalker Team remain stationed at Denggong Mountain.

The Four Great Priests are precisely a part of the Central Holy Power.

The entire Central Holy Power includes the Tidal Main Brain, Pure Water Holy Corps, Four Great Priests, and Abyss Archive four organizations.

Now, among the Four Great Priests, Plague Priest Han Tai and Heavy Water Priest Deng Ze have already been sent into the Shadow World by Liang Yuan.

The remaining Life Priest Wu Wenfang is fleeing, hastening back to Guangfu.

At this moment, Wu Wenfang did not return directly to Denggong Mountain, but instead ran swiftly toward Miyuan Rainforest.

"Quick, I must return to Miyuan Rainforest and inform the Pure Water Holy Corps. This situation is dire!"

Wu Wenfang felt worried; the one named Liang is terrifying.

After mastering Dark Attribute Power, the Shadow World he opened is simply invincible.

Even now, he can’t think of a way to counter the opponent’s [Dark Abyss Mouth] ability.

It truly fills him with astonishment and fear.

"That Liang must have refined the Heart Core and Brain Core of that Floating Island; that’s why his strength reached 100 points."

"Deng Ze must have died at his hands as well."

"Now, we can only ask the Pure Water Holy Corps to take action."

Around Denggong Mountain, a huge Floating Island appeared in the vast snowy field ahead.

Strangely, the vegetation on this large Floating Island was lush and verdant.

Moreover, these plants were generally tall and large, mainly consisting of broadleaf species.

It resembled a tropical primitive forest remarkably.

Even more astonishing, the entire rainforest seemed to be enclosed by a layer of azure Barrier, enveloping it.

Snowflakes from the sky fell but did not enter this rainforest.

Instead, when touching the azure Barrier, they turned into droplets and merged with it.

Inside that Barrier, a heavy rain occasionally fell, consuming the excess moisture in the Barrier.

Upon seeing this Barrier Rainforest, Wu Wenfang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the Floating Island of the Water God Sect, Miyuan Rainforest!

It is also considered the Holy Land by all followers of the Water God Sect.

All disciples of the Water God Sect feel pride and honor to live in this Miyuan Rainforest.

They strive their entire lives, even sacrificing their lives, just to have a chance to move in.

Buzz!

As Wu Wenfang approached, his body wrapped in Water Attribute quickly merged with the Barrier, entering it silently.

However, as he crossed into it, a buzzing immediately came from a corner of the Barrier.

A stream of water shot out in the rainforest instantly.

"Woo—!"

The water flow transformed into a sharp arrow, whistling towards him.

Wu Wenfang sternly shouted, "How dare you!"

He took out a Rune Bone and tossed it into the air.

Instantly, the Rune Bone lit up with a rune, blocking the water arrow from the front.

With a bang, the water arrow shattered, and the light from the Rune Bone blossomed.

Suddenly, a figure cloaked in a cape appeared from the creek in the distance.

"Life Priest, sir!"

The newcomer was startled upon seeing Wu Wenfang and immediately rushed forward to greet him.

Wu Wenfang had no time for pleasantries, only saying, "I need to go to the Ark to meet the Tidal Main Brain and invite the Pure Water Holy Corps and the Knowledge Priest from the Abyss Archive."

The cloaked person was startled, quickly bowing with clenched fists, "Yes!"

The two immediately parted ways.

Wu Wenfang dashed forward like a torrent, swiftly heading towards the Central Holy Power’s location.

Soon, he traversed more than half of the forest, and suddenly the front opened up brightly.

A gigantic arch-shaped, egg-like building appeared in the rainforest.

Nearby, the Drowning Spirit Guard patrolled, while the Abyssal Stalkers watched from the shadows.

Upon seeing Wu Wenfang, passersby respectfully saluted.

It was not until reaching the entrance of the building that the Drowning Spirit Guard asked him to present his identification, without giving him any deference.

"Apologies, Life Priest."

Wu Wenfang waved his hand, "In the Ark Holy Land, one must be cautious like this. You did well."

After saying this, he strode inside.

This structure within the eggshell was exceedingly luxurious and filled with a futuristic technological feel.

One white corridor after another, the floor and walls seamlessly connected.

There were no light fixtures, but the walls emitted a natural white light, illuminating everything like incandescent lamps.

A long line of researchers in white coats walked by, greeting Wu Wenfang as they saw him.

Wu Wenfang didn’t stop, proceeding directly to a large corridor.

"I wish to see the Tidal Main Brain!"

Hearing this, the personnel at the entrance looked at Wu Wenfang and said, "Priest, please wait a moment; we need to verify your identity."

Wu Wenfang handed over his identification Rune Bone for them to check.

The personnel quickly confirmed the information and nodded slightly, "Please proceed."

He stepped aside, and Wu Wenfang quickly walked inside.

The tunnel was wide, slightly cold, but far better than the icy world outside.

After traversing the tunnel, a vast cavern hall appeared ahead.

At the center was a circular pool, within which a transparent sphere encased something floating.

Inside that sphere, three brain-like organs slowly pulsated, and numerous tentacles, like a neural network, extended in all directions, with dozens of thick tendrils piercing into the pool.

This is the Water God Sect’s most mysterious Tidal Main Brain!
