Death… And Me Chapter 1427 - Information About Pol Continent

Chapter 1427 - Information About Pol Continent

"The first is the most obvious part. Just like the information we've obtained beforehand, Pol Continent is, in essence, a giant sea. There are no continuous pieces of land in that continent at all. Then again, a 'continent' is usually a continuous piece of land, and Pol doesn't have any land that fits that term. Perhaps it might be best to call it Pol Territory. Anyways, the only land there are the countless islands you can find."
"Of course, it goes without saying that this continent is one with a lot of aquatic demon beasts. From what I found, it's very easy to find demon beasts at the Transition Realm and above roaming the islands," Roan told them. One must remember that Transition Realm was the point where a demon beast could take on a humanoid form, although they would keep a lot of their race's traces. That's also the realm where they gained sentience.
Rean raised his hand after hearing that, asking, "Does that mean their main controlling power is the sea demon beasts?" So far, Lanqueas, Huring, and even Treavin had the humanoid races as the main powers of their continents. The demon beasts obviously had a great force and could stand on their own there. In any case, it was the humanoids that made the decisions.
Roan nodded in response. "Exactly. From what I found out, the controlling power of the Pol Continent is the Sacred Undersea Kingdom. Unfortunately, there isn't much information about them other than this. All we know is that this is a kingdom of demon beasts and that they have the strongest beings in that continent."
Falangia then asked the part that was the most important for her. "How's life in the islands? Are the humanoid races suppressed by the demon beasts?"
Roan shook his head in response, telling her, "No. I can't guarantee that everywhere there is like that. However, the information I've obtained told me that the humanoid races are too small to be able to pose any danger to the aquatic demon beasts as a whole. With that said, the aquatic demon beasts basically ignore them. If anything, they have a synergistic relationship in place. The aquatic demon beasts usually ask the humanoid races for things that are easier done on the surface. At the same time, the humanoid races do the same in relation to the sea."
Roan continued, "Of course, the humanoid races are still a small force, and they simply don't dare to cause trouble for the big powers of the Pol Continent. They know very well how to keep a low profile so that they don't force the aquatic demon beasts to wipe them all out through sheer numbers and strength."
Rean could already imagine it, asking, "Then again, it's not like the humanoid races and the aquatic demon beasts don't fight at all, right?"
"Exactly," Roan confirmed. "The kind of fights that will never happen there are wars against the aquatic demon beasts. You won't ever see an 'alliance' of humanoid races overthrowing the aquatic demon beasts. However, normal battles like the ones you get when entering a demon beast forest happen all the time. It's a good thing for both sides, after all. A life without struggles will only decrease a continent's overall number of reliable experts. It's basically the same relationship humanoid races and demon beasts have in all the continents we've passed through so far. It's just that positions of the main controlling powers are inverted between the demon beasts and humanoid races."
That meant that once Rean's group entered the sea, for example, they could be targeted by demon beasts for whatever reason. At the same time, they could target aquatic demon beasts for whatever reason as well. Only large-scale battles would never happen as the humanoid races had absolutely no chance of winning. Simply put, it was still very dangerous to enter the aquatic demon beasts' territories underwater. Especially since all those at Stage Eight and below wouldn't have sentience or intelligence, acting as their instincts told them.
"However, wars between the aquatic demon beasts themselves or wars between the humanoids in the islands are still things that happen, right?" Rean asked.
"Yes." Roan nodded. "Even without paying for this information, that's something anyone could guess. This is the cultivation world, after all. As long as strength reigns, disputes will arise. If the humanoid races become as strong as the aquatic demon beasts one day, you could be sure that wars between the two would happen. Well, that definitely won't happen anytime soon."
Roan then looked at Falangia and said, "Now, answering your question. There's no doubt that life in the Pol Continent is much, much safer than Treavin. In fact, it's probably safer than Lanqueas and Huring Continent, places we had been before. That's because since the humanoid races are the minority, there's more of a feeling of union between them. Of course, don't go around expecting everyone to be nice guys and girls. That would be just idiotic."
Falangia was happy with what she heard. "That's great! Then I definitely want to go there. However... I don't know how I would pay for this favor."
Rean shook his head, saying, "I'm helping you because I felt like it. Don't forget that I helped a lot of people. It's just that I'm going an extra step further in your case since we know each other. You could call that destiny. Haha!"
Falangia felt happy and sad at the same time. The fact that Rean really didn't seem to have special feelings for Falangia was obvious even though he cared about her. "Th-Thank you..."
Rean looked at Rafatia and remembered something else. "Oh, right! Roan, how's the concentration of Divine Energy there? Is it just like Treavin?"
Roan shook his head, telling him, "What are you talking about? The sea isn't a place devoid of life as a desert is. Divine Energy is quite good there, not losing out to Huring or Lanqueas at all. They also have certain places with a lot of Divine Energy, just like Huring and Lanqueas as well. Of course, most of those places are under the sea."
Rean was satisfied with that.. "Good. So, what about crossing the continental barrier?"
