Just as when the mighty Infinite Lightning Phoenix flew into the horizon with an unknown destination, the words of the Light Saint Dragon were left floating in the air for a long time even after his disappearance.

The most surprised were undoubtedly the human beings belonging to this world whom the players and the system had called NPCs. While all the soldiers, the king, and even the emperor floating in the sky were looking at the distant horizon, all of them were trying to make some sense of the last words uttered by the Light Saint Dragon before he completely disappeared.

Girl of the Bright Light Clan?

Wasn't this the Goddess Mei Hen?

Other than her there was no way it could be anyone else!

Everyone began to look up at the sky with bright eyes, curious, doubtful, questioning, trying to find some sign that showed the presence of the strongest goddess, the true protector goddess of the Adastreia Continent.

She was, after all, the true strongest power that guarded the safety of the humans of these lands!

Unlike the Light Saint Dragon or the Infinite Lightning Phoenix, Goddess Mei Hen came from the Bright Light Clan, a clan that had always been at the top of the world protecting mankind. From a certain point of view it could even be said that the meaning of Goddess Mei Hen's life was to protect mankind; after all, this was the request of her clan members before they passed out.

However, all of them had a great doubt in their hearts... Why, if Goddess Mei Hen was really present watching everything, why hadn't she appeared at the beginning then? With the infinite power of the Goddess loved by all humans and revered, she could have prevented the death of anyone present if she joined forces with the assault team that had been organized before to defend this place.

However, she never showed herself. From beginning to end, the person who was supposed to protect them never showed up... Could it be that she would no longer protect mankind? When this thought appeared in the minds of the NPC soldiers, they all became afraid and uneasy.

Although it was true that the Goddess Mei Hen had never appeared in the last few millennia and no human being had ever heard of her presence again, although it was true that mankind had never faced a calamity on the level of extermination that required her intervention; the reality was that all humans on the Adastreia Continent felt unconsciously more relaxed at the thought that one of the most powerful powers in existence was backing them up.

However, at the thought of losing such backing, they were all afraid. After all, humans were actually the weakest race on the Adastreia Continent; the true rulers, if one spoke in terms of power, were the Saint grade beasts.

Soon, however, the idea that the Goddess Mei Hen was no longer protecting them disappeared from their heads. Such a thing was impossible, was what everyone thought. No matter what, the Bright Light Clan had always fulfilled its task and Goddess Mei Hen would undoubtedly continue to do so.

But... Why hadn't she shown herself then? Could it be that the Light Saint Dragon was lying? But it made no sense for someone with such power to joke with them, who were literally ants in comparison!

Unfortunately, no matter how many they searched and no matter which way they looked; none of them managed to find even a shadow of the Goddess Mei Hen. Therefore, they could only be left with doubt and a slightly sour mood united by the victory of protecting mankind.

"*Sigh*..." King Hu Yi let out an incomprehensible sigh and when the tension weighing on his body disappeared he staggered several steps.

However, Xie Feng's attention was focused on something else at the moment.

"What is that?" Xie Feng walked a few steps forward taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned by Long Bai's words and picked up a shiny item that was lying on the ground a few meters away.

The item was crystal clear in color and Xie Feng could even see his own palm on the other side. Moreover, its shape was extremely peculiar as it resembled a fanciful teardrop.

Curious, Xie Feng inspected it.

[Tear of the Abyss: With a strong desire to return home to settle a debt from the past that is still pending, the Abyssal Dragon shed tears of sadness and pain for the second time in his life. As an existence whose future would allow him to control spatial rifts but whose wings are bound by the chains of this world, the Abyssal Dragon will never give up until he finds his way back. Single-use effect: After destroying the Tear of the Abyss, a rift back to the Azuth Continent can be created].

This is...

A continental teleportation amulet!

Xie Feng sucked in a breath of cold air and his grip on the Tear of the Abyss unconsciously tightened.

While players and NPCs could travel between different continents whenever they wanted to, the reality was that although the possibility was there it wasn't as if they could actually do so. Even if the danger of the ocean was set aside, no one really knew where there was land or where the other continents were.

Xie Feng had once read on the game's official forum that the Samsara world was incredibly vast and that land represented only 10% of the entire world. In other words, 90% of the Samsara world was composed of bodies of water!

Amidst so much water and with no specific direction to go in, it was practically impossible to find another continent unless you were lucky. In fact, there was a legend that said that in the past a Saint grade boss had gone on an adventure to find other lands because it was bored after living several tens of thousands of years without a challenge; however, that Saint grade boss never returned.

As to whether it found another continent or not, no one really knew. However, everyone thought that it had died in the ocean after losing its way for countless years and died due to exhaustion. After all, even Saint grade bosses needed rest; they were not machines!

It was exactly for such reasons that no NPC had ever really ventured deep into the ocean in search of other lands no matter how much they wished to do so. It was also for these reasons that players in the different battle zones could not attack other countries unless they found a way to cross the ocean either by water or by air.

The only advantage the players had was that they could communicate with players from other battle zones and share coordinates with each other to identify in which direction they should roughly move; but even then it was difficult as the slightest misdirection would lead to a completely different place due to the size of this world.

However, with the object in Xie Feng's hands he could travel to the Russian Battle Zone whenever he wanted and without experiencing any danger!

But most importantly... Revenge!

Xie Feng clenched his fist tightly and an icy glint flashed in his eyes.

Although he didn't know anything about the Abyssal Dragon, the truth was that Xie Feng was incredibly furious with what had happened and although he looked normal on the outside, the desire to take revenge on the Russian players for what they had done was extremely great.

Mu Yin, Mu Wuying's cousin, had already found the culprit in the matter.

"Edik..." Xie Feng muttered under his breath with a hint of viciousness.

Edik had been acting very arrogant so all of Russia knew that it had been him who sent the Abyssal Dragon into the Chinese Battle Zone using a spatial item.

All Xie Feng needed was to destroy the object in his hands to go seek revenge. With his current strength, once the negative effects of using forbidden spells completely disappeared he was confident of crushing entire armies without fear.

However, Xie Feng shook his head and calmed down.

Although he wanted to go and take revenge as soon as possible, the reality was that he currently urgently needed to climb the Void Tower or the Heaven of Samsara more. The pearls were also another matter weighing on his mind.

Xie Feng also had important quests to complete and time was passing very quickly. It had already been two months since the launch of Samsara Online and two months since he had received the quest from Xiao Lei, the old man from the potion store who had asked him to find and bring him the Purity Crystal, which left him only four months of time left.

In fact, if it weren't for Xie Feng being Xie Feng and being very lucky, if he had been another player; this mission would be completely impossible to complete.

Forget finding the Heaven of Samsara and climbing to the 20th floor; just finding the subway caves was hard enough to make people despair.

"Anyway, with this item in my hands, I can take revenge whenever I feel like it!" Xie Feng stored the Tear of the Abyss carefully in his inventory as he looked up at the sky.

Little did Xie Feng know that when he decided to go and take revenge on the Russian players, it would actually usher in a New Era for the Samsara world. One of true peace where wars no longer existed and conflicts were severely punished.

Moreover, comparatively speaking, it would not be long before the peace that currently existed would be completely destroyed.
