He absolutely had to go to the Tower of the Fifth. While it was impossible for him to actually compete with Lu Yin, if Ye Xingchen could obtain an inheritance, then it would absolutely improve his situation in the Cosmic Sea and prevent his crew from being subjugated by another crew.
“You’ve already arrived at an unreachable height.” Ye Xingchen sighed. He was not even referring to Lu Yin’s strength, but rather his ambition and goals. There were not many people who were altruistic enough to sacrifice their own improvements in order to benefit the entire human race.
Just how many people had acquired some sort of great power and kept it secret? Humans were innately selfish.
Ye Xingchen quite admired Lu Yin’s selflessness and his dedication to the big picture.
Lu Yin had visited the Unyielding Corpse after exiting one of Burial Garden’s gates, and before returning, Lu Yin had advised Ye Xingchen to either destroy the gate or move away from it.
Ye Xingchen had listened to the advice, and his crew had moved away from the gate. Only a short while later, the gate had been destroyed, and the crew that had moved to take over the gate had been completely wiped out.
“Lu Yin, I owe you my life and the lives of my entire crew,” Ye Xingchen muttered to himself, “I hope to one day be able to repay your kindness.”

It was impossible to see the other side of the vortex at the center of the Abyss of the Sea. This place was the center of the Cosmic Sea, and endless amounts of seawater drained into the hole every second.
The closer one moved to the Abyss of the Sea, the stronger they would feel the sensation of being swallowed.
There were numerous warships anchored to the west of the Abyss of the Sea, led by a massive warship from Leon’s Armada that was poised like a giant looking down at the Abyss of the Sea. All of these vessels belonged to Leon’s Armada.
On the deck of one ship, Sister Fei and Kidney were both looking at the Abyss of the Sea. “What do you think Little Seven wants to get from this?”
Kidney just rolled his eyes. “I don’t know, but it’s definitely not something as charitable as he’s saying.”
“You’re that certain?” Sister Fei was surprised.
Kidney flashed her a bright smile and winked at her. “Because he’s part of Leon’s Armada!”
Sister Fei felt grossed out. “Don’t wink at me.”
“What? Are you being affected by my handsomeness?” Kidney asked in an exaggerated fashion.
Sister Fei was left speechless.
“Ahem.” Ghost Doc walked up behind the two. The man was so hunched over that he looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.
Both people’s expressions changed when they saw Ghost Doc. They not only respected the man, but they were also scared of him. This old man’s strength was second only to Liu Feng, but his techniques were much more vicious than anything Liu Feng used. This old man was incredibly tricky.
“Little Seven’s purposes in building this Tower of the Fifth are his own. He is different from the rest of us, and you need to learn from him.” Ghost Doc spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and odd.
Kidney twitched. “I know. I was just cracking a joke.”
There was a splash, and the Merman Regiment started leaping into the water some distance away before making their way towards the Abyss of the Sea.
While the vortex looked absolutely terrifying, as long as a person had just a bit of strength, it was possible to swim out of the vortex, so it was not an absolute death trap.
“Ghost Doc, what are we waiting for? Has the captain said anything?” Sister Fei asked.

Ghost Doc walked over to the railing of the warship and stared at the distant Abyss. “We’re waiting for someone.”
“Who?” The other two were both curious.
Ghost Doc grew increasingly solemn. “Someone who can change the Abyss of the Sea and place the foundation for the Tower of the Fifth.”
“The captain’s not going to do that?” Sister Fei was caught off guard.
Ghost Doc shook his head. “While our captain can do it, his status isn’t enough for this task. The Tower of the Fifth will represent the entire Fifth Mainland.”
“You’re not saying a Semi-Progenitor’s coming, right?” Kidney shouted.
Ghost Doc glanced over at the man. “You got it.”
