I Am Your Natural Enemy

The things revealed inside the small domain, I can only see it’s a blood sacrifice.

Perhaps they’re trying to resurrect something, but unfortunately, they chose the wrong time and there’s no chance of success.

Their destination isn’t Divine Land central region, just passing through, heading to Europa."

At this point, Valak looked around at the items here and added a comment.

"Unfortunately, most of the cultists who held the ritual back then, were killed by you.

Now, the remaining evil spirits are mostly those who were sacrificed.

Their souls weren’t sacrificed out, all are trapped here, turned into evil spirits."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yan’s thoughts shifted, observing Valak.

"Just to be clear, your unauthorized intrusion into Divine Land’s domain will definitely result in expulsion."

"Mhmm." Valak wasn’t overly concerned, he was accustomed to being expelled, Wen Yan was being quite polite.

"You haven’t committed any crimes in Divine Land central region, and you’re not a People of Divine Land, so it’s just expulsion."

"Mhmm." Valak responded casually, not fully comprehending.

But then he realized, the expulsion Wen Yan referred to was different from the expulsions he had previously experienced.

Wen Yan only wanted him out of Divine Land central region, and didn’t care where he went afterwards.

Wen Yan didn’t explain further, just wandering through the entire ship, the Yang Energy on his body transformed into flames, sweeping indiscriminately through every corner, performing a broad purification.

After a round, he arrived at the boiler room on the bottom level, where coal-burning boilers were standing.

What was originally the dirtiest place now became the cleanest part of the ship.

No runes or patterns were drawn, no destruction, no corpses, only a sense of old, silent emptiness.

Wen Yan walked to a massive boiler, and the chamber door of the combustion room suddenly opened.

Inside was darkness, with no flames burning, only rows of rust-covered steel transformed into sharp teeth, interlocking with each other.

Air passed through the boiler, emitting a wailing sound, like a young bird with its mouth wide open, waiting to be fed.

The next moment, the coal add-on openings of the boilers all opened, turning into wide mouths, making wailing sounds.

Wen Yan felt a simple intention, hunger, waiting to be fed.

The Yang Energy that continued to radiate from Wen Yan, carrying purifying power, incessantly washed over, causing the steel-transformed sharp teeth to gradually dissipate, and the eerie power to be forcefully purified.

Yet, those wide mouths remained open, wailing like young birds seeing the mature birds return, utterly indifferent to other matters, merely crying hunger.

Wen Yan was somewhat bemused by this scene.

He had previously guessed the ship was alive, but didn’t expect the mouths to be here, and not just one mouth.

Moreover, the ship was completely indifferent to what type of power it was.

Indeed, this ship likely has no concept of evil or benevolent power.

"Close your mouths."

Wen Yan commanded sharply, yet the wide mouths of the boilers remained open, continuing their wailing.

Wen Yan extended his hand and slapped the boiler, leaving a clear palm print, which still had no effect.

"If you don’t close your mouths, there’s nothing to eat."

Upon hearing this, all the boilers simultaneously closed their mouths, yet continued to make low whimpering sounds like puppies.

"Wait, I’ll find you something to eat shortly."

Wen Yan turned and left, returning to the upper level, where on the deck stood a mass of Ghosts purified yet still unwilling to disperse.

Valak was seated on a railing, watching these individuals, patiently awaiting expulsion. He felt this was the most comfortable expulsion he ever experienced, indeed People of Divine Land are reasonable.

Wen Yan came over, observing the Ghosts, these were part of the victims from years ago, their obsessions too profound, even after the evil spirits’ power was purified, they still didn’t leave.

Wen Yan had nothing to say about others’ affairs, pulling out his phone, noticing there’s no signal on the deck, no wonder he was given a Temporary Ability to maintain communication earlier.

The sea outside was still pitch-black, with a gloomy sky like black ink and seawater.

Looking into the distance, he couldn’t see the ships wrecked by Water Ghosts anymore.

Wen Yan slightly furrowed his eyebrows, previously thinking this ship had its own domain, with a smaller domain inside.

Now it seemed, it wasn’t an issue of domains at all.

He could enter anywhere within the domain, leading him to lack a distinct boundary or sensation regarding domains, merely stepping in.

This place seemed not to be the Southern Sea at all.

Wen Yan looked at Valak.

"Do you know where this is?"

"No, I’ve never been to your Divine Land."

Wen Yan took out his phone and made a video call to Gauss; Gauss was the only person he could reach now.

"Hey, Gauss, do you have Feng Yao’s number? Can you call him for me and ask if he can still pinpoint my location?"

"Alright."

After a minute, Gauss replied, capturing an image for him with the camera.

The image displayed an aerial view of the Dahlia, and the high-resolution picture showed the deck of Dahlia was empty, everything was still looking old, covered in rust.

"Do you need any help?"

"No worries. If I haven’t entered the domain, then I’ve probably seen a different place, maybe I’ll get into a fight, and you can’t help with that."
