Chapter 835: Penelope’s Confidence, Ocean God

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Just as Penelope stepped off the ship and caught sight of the Ocean Crown Harbor, she was immediately taken aback.

It wasn’t because of its prosperity, but rather its chaos and clamor.

Having lived in the elven divine realm since childhood, Penelope had never seen such disorderly surroundings.

Sailors with bare arms and others drenched in sweat, peddlers loudly advertising their goods, carts laden with merchandise, and people of different races bustling along the streets – all blended together in a peculiar concoction of scents: the pungent odor of perspiration, intermingled with the salty tang of the sea breeze…

It made her think of the divine realm involuntarily.

What was it like in the divine realm?

Shaded by lush green trees, abundant flowers and grasses carpeted the ground, and elegant buildings were evenly distributed in a neat and orderly manner, providing the best living environment for residents.

The inhabitants coming and going were all beings who had transcended the mortal realm to live in the divine realm, exhibiting elegance, politeness, and humility. The atmosphere of art pervaded every inch of the land, and during peacetime, they often held art salons to exchange their creations such as paintings and music.

However, here, on the island known as the most prosperous in the mainland ocean, it was unexpectedly chaotic and disordered. Penelope was stunned for quite a while.

It took her a good while to come to her senses.

However, in the short time she stood there, many people had already noticed her presence.

After all, this female elf was quite beautiful.

The inhabitants of the divine realm were selected by the gods to live in the divine realm, and compared to mortals, their higher level of existence naturally resulted in offspring with better physical qualities and appearances.

In terms of Earth’s standards, their appearance was simply superior, setting them apart, particularly Penelope, who had attained demigod status and served Eluvita. Naturally, her appearance was exceptional.

Even among the remarkable beings in the divine realm, let alone being placed in the main world, only the top elites of the elven empire could rival her.

The sudden appearance of such an extraordinarily beautiful female elf in the bustling harbor naturally attracted attention.

If this were in other kingdoms, there would have been people with ulterior motives approaching her long ago, intending to do something inappropriate. However, this was the Ocean Crown, a powerful territory independent of countless kingdoms.

No one dared to do anything bad because many people had already provided them with bloody examples. The Heraklion Guards, who could see through people’s hearts, were everywhere.

When Penelope came to her senses and saw many people staring at her with wide eyes, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Could it be that she had been discovered? This was impossible. She had undergone professional disguise, removing all the features of the inhabitants of the divine realm, leaving only an appearance identical to that of the elves.

According to the information she had received, there were many elves living here, so her appearance here should not be surprising or abrupt.

After thinking for a while, Penelope still believed that she hadn’t revealed anything, so she confidently walked towards the harbor area to begin her plan.

Isn’t it just hiding and waiting until that human is in danger before taking action? What’s so difficult about that?

But as she walked, Penelope suddenly stopped in her tracks, her brows deeply furrowed, her breath catching.

Wait a minute.

Doesn’t the main world need something called coins for trading and livelihood?

In Ji Chen’s perception, as soon as Penelope entered the Ocean Crown, she caught his attention.

Despite her power being suppressed, the intense power fluctuations within her body remained evident, akin to the lone splash of color in a monochrome image, so conspicuous that no disguise could evade his scrutiny.

And her extraordinary appearance was also a breakthrough point.

The higher the beauty, the stronger the power – this principle could be applied to this world.

As strength increased, the genes of living beings would continue to adjust and evolve, naturally optimizing their physical qualities and appearance.

Therefore, figures like the elven queen Laphia, the high priestess Herli, Serena of Dragon Island, Samuel, and others, ranging from legendary to above-epic tier, all possessed excellent appearance and physique.

It was more accurate to say that outstanding physique and appearance were the standard configuration for the strong.

It could be said that there are no unattractive powerful individuals; this was indeed the truth.

However, the origin of this extraordinary female elf has yet to be confirmed, but there are not many possibilities.

Either she comes from the Elven Empire or from the Elven Divine Realm, with no other options.

But Ji Chen tended to favor the latter.

After all, there was no reason for Laphia to risk offending him by secretly sending a powerful elf into the Ocean Crown.

And the latter seems to be a more plausible scenario.

Regarding Eluvita’s intentions, they remained unknown. However, if there were any ill intentions towards him, given a series of actions, the probability appeared very low, resembling more of an attempt to foster goodwill.

This could be inferred from the fact that she dispatched a ghost ship to remind him. It wouldn’t make sense for Eluvita to both help and harm him, right?

After some consideration, Ji Chen decided not to pay attention to or take action against her until she showed any intent, instructing Wilus to remain vigilant and observant.

He then shifted his focus to the construction progress of Coral City.

With the investment of ten thousand residents of the Ocean Crown, including humans, lizardmen, and sea creatures, after several days of construction, Coral City was now taking shape. The underwater mud had been cleared, revealing the seabed bedrock, which was then being groomed, leveled, and various other procedures performed before laying the foundation and constructing houses..
