"What is this thing?"
Eller patted his face, trying to clear his mind, but everything in front of him was telling him that he really had witnessed a miracle, a miracle happening right before his eyes.
In the deep sea, tens of thousands of ters below, there existed such an island, an island teeming with diverse strange flora, vibrant with life, and filled with magnificent buildings.
If everything here were exposed, it would definitely astonish the world beyond imagination.
Olvera was the first to react. He waved his arms frantically, overwheld with excitent: "Haha, it seems we've found the Sea Monster's lair. I can definitely say that the reason those sea monsters mutate must be related to this island. Our discovery today will surely shock the entire world."
So excited that his body trembled, Olvera was not just thinking about global prominence. What thrilled him more was that such an island, with its array of life surviving in the deep sea, overturned everything he had previously studied. For a scholar, the allure was more deadly than gold.
"That stone tablet is full of runes, and the runes are glowing and flowing; it's unbelievable, simply incredible. Who on earth built this?"
"Was there really an alien civilization on Blue Star? Otherwise, I can't imagine what kind of technology could create an island like this in the deep sea."
"Get closer, a little closer; we still can't see clearly!"
The experts exclaid with excitent, completely forgetting themselves. The discoveries alone made everyone feel that the trip was worth it.
"Barnes, Kerana, steer the Challenger into that island."
Olvera wished he could personally dive into the ocean to see that miraculous island, but for now, he could only use the screen to direct the Challenger to satisfy his curiosity.
"Alright, we're moving forward."
"God help us."
Barnes and Kerana exchanged a glance, pushed the control lever, and the Challenger continued forward, slowly approaching the island ahead.
Upon arrival, they discovered that the island was even more massive than it appeared from afar, with a diater of at least fifteen kiloters, and they couldn't clearly see the whole.
With the closer distance, the Challenger also gained a more detailed view of everything on the island.
Besides the diverse strange flora, palaces and jade towers were hidden on the island, with myriad treasure lights emanating.
"Holy crab, is that a sword? Could it be so kind of divine artifact?"
Barnes pointed to the left, where a longsword was deeply embedded in a tree trunk. The sword had a dragon scale pattern, and the surrounding seawater swirled into a cavity, with intermittent bursts of sword qi penetrating hundreds of ters through the seawater, displacing it and taking several seconds to rge, like the legendary divine weapon that can cut a river with one stroke.
"Over... there, it's more amazing, Barnes, look quickly!"
Kerana tugged on Barnes's ear, pointing to her direction.
There, a huge ancient bell was suspended in the seawater.
The bell stood a yard high, exuding an ancient aura, with trendous Dao sounds reverberating. Cracks like cobwebs spread across the ground, and purple-black lightning constantly swept from the bell's body, causing a dozen ters of surroundings to boil.
On this island, in their sight, there were dozens of divine weapons lying dormant, spears standing like a forest, halberds like a sea, swords like waterfalls, and axes and halberds like mountains. Each weapon resonated with a clinging sound, invisibly revealing a formidable power that couldn't be ignored.
Neither dared to approach, steering the Challenger away from a distance, fearing that if the Challenger got hit by any of these divine weapons, causing a breach and water leak, they would have no hope of escape in these depths, perishing without a trace.
This scene was also observed by the research vessel, igniting even more intense debates.
"Atlanta, this must be the legendary sunken civilization of Atlantis. This ancient super-civilization mastered advanced technology, allowing them to create such a miraculous island. Those buildings and weapons must have been the forr residence and arsenal of the Atlantians."
A blond, blue-eyed scholar from Europe and Arica shouted angrily. As a Western historian, seeing this deep-sea island with its exquisite palatial buildings, exotic plants, and powerful divine weapons, his mind imdiately conjured the legendary sunken super-ancient civilization of Atlantis.
"Bullshit, open your eyes; how could this possibly be Atlantis? This is clearly the legendary Penglai Fairy Island, with all the jade towers and weapons featuring our East Asia styles and characteristics. This island fits the concept of Penglai perfectly."
Another historian from Japan yelled angrily. This part of Asia has been influenced by Hua Country's culture. As a top historian, he's not only well-versed in Japan's history but also deeply familiar with Hua Country's culture and history since studying Japan's history is inseparable from Hua Country. This is evident as much of Japan's language is the sa as Chinese.
Therefore, the historian from Japan was so agitated, claiming this was Penglai Fairy Island, a legendary locale incomparable to Atlantis.
"Penglai Fairy Island? Is it an ancient city in the East Asia region?"
Eller cast his gaze toward the historian from Japan; he genuinely didn't know what it was.
"Penglai Fairy Island is one of the three immortal mountains over the sea. Legend has it that this is the abode of immortals, floating on auspicious clouds over the sea, planted with the Elixir of Immortality. Historically, the most famous unifying emperor of Hua Country once sent a search for Penglai Fairy Island to obtain the Elixir of Immortality, aiming for eternal rule over Hua Country through countless generations."
As the scholar from Japan ntioned the Elixir of Immortality, the eyes of scholars at the scene turned straight, instinctively glancing at the various exotic flora on the deep-sea island.
Eller was breathing heavily, with only one thought in his mind.
The thought was that this island, whether it was the legendary Atlantis or Penglai Fairy Island, must beco sacred and indivisible territory of their Beautiful Country.
