"Huh? I'm the man who's going to conquer the ocean!"
Wang Qi's tone was exaggerated, but no one paid him any attention.
All his friends took his words lightly; they were the children of the earth-dwellers and aspired to become earth-dwellers themselves. To them, the ocean was a perilous place.
They never even considered shedding their status as earth-dwellers. Without the protection of the Royal Family and the islands, the ocean could easily inflict severe harm on them.
Seeing his friends leaving, a hint of dejection shadowed Wang Qi's expression, and he looked at the distant sea with a sense of helplessness.
Ever since the Divine had appeared, the ocean had become a cursed presence in their eyes. However, Wang Qi knew that their island was as insignificant as an ant.
And his identity as an earth-dweller was stopping him from reaching for a broader world.
