The ships streaked across the dark sky like meteors, vanishing into a vast silver light circle as if fish diving into the sea. The silver ship carrying Mo Yu and his companion joined the flow, braving intense spatial ripples before disappearing into the circle.

Upon entering the silver light circle, the violent spatial ripples caused the entire ship to shake violently, but this turbulence lasted less than ten seconds before subsiding.

The silver light that filled Mo Yu's vision gradually dimmed. Moments later, it suddenly burst forth, the blinding brilliance forcing Mo Yu to squint. As he closed his eyes, a gentle breeze greeted him. The next instant, a cacophony of ear-piercing noise flooded his ears.

When Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes, he found himself standing in an enormous plaza constructed entirely of deep-blue stone.

The plaza stretched beyond the limits of his sight. The only discernible boundary was a faint blue line at the horizon. From its scale, it was at least a thousand meters wide. Mo Yu and his companion appeared minuscule, like ants lost in the expanse.

At this moment, the plaza teemed with people, a surging sea of humanity. Deafening chatter echoed into the sky, creating a thunderous cacophony.

"So, this is the Southern Region?"

Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, gazing at the endless expanse of the plaza.

From what he knew, the Southern Region, despite its name, was not a continent in the traditional sense but a vast ocean.

This ocean spanned a tremendous area, rivaling the landmass of the Dou Qi Continent. Scattered across its vast waters were countless islands, large and small.

Some of these islands were massive, their size comparable to multiple Jia Ma Empires. These large islands were home to various factions and races.

The place where Mo Yu had just arrived was one such island, named Void Abyss Island.

Behind him, the space continued to ripple and twist violently. Ships emerged one after another before shrinking rapidly into the distance. Clearly, this was a space tunnel's exit point on Void Abyss Island.

"Master, where to next?" Qing Zhi asked, her gaze cautious as she surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings.

Hearing this, Mo Yu paused and rubbed his chin. "Let's find an inn to settle down first and gather information about Ten Thousand Snake Island."

Mo Yu had little knowledge of the Southern Region. Even the records in Central Plains were sparse, describing it only as a vast ocean.

Before departing, Mo Yu had specifically searched the Liu Clan's archives for information about the Southern Region. There was one critical warning in those ancient texts:

In the boundless ocean, avoid trespassing on unknown islands. Even the most inconspicuous-looking island could harbor a hidden and terrifying elder.

Mo Yu took this warning seriously. Since his goal was Ten Thousand Snake Island, he intended to proceed cautiously by gathering intel first.

With this in mind, Mo Yu turned to Qing Zhi. "From now on, keep a low profile. In public, just address me as Young Master."

A Dou Zun was considered a pinnacle powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent. Even among the eight great Dou Di clans, it was unheard of for a Dou Zun to pledge allegiance to someone.

This fact alone was too shocking. Mo Yu had no intention of drawing unnecessary attention and preferred to remain understated. Being referred to as a "Young Master" was far more discreet. Many prominent families in Central Plains used similar titles for their heirs.

"Yes, Young Master," Qing Zhi nodded obediently.

After giving his instructions, Mo Yu observed his surroundings and, after asking a passerby for directions, headed toward the city center.

Void Abyss Island was expansive, resembling a miniature continent. Even within the Southern Region's vast ocean, it was considered a large island, dotted with countless cities.

The city Mo Yu had arrived in was the largest on Void Abyss Island—Void Abyss City.

As he walked, the number of pedestrians around him steadily increased. Unlike the visitors at the teleportation point, most of these individuals appeared to be locals.

The men here often dressed lightly, with their bare torsos gleaming, their skin surprisingly fair and smooth. Their appearance gave them an almost androgynous beauty.

The women were equally striking. Their fair, smooth skin glowed with a healthy radiance, and their figures and features were exceptional.

The local women dressed boldly, their attire resembling swimsuits. Their clothing barely covered their upper bodies and little else, exposing slender waists and long, shapely legs. The way they swayed their hips as they walked exuded an alluring charm.

As Mo Yu walked, he took in the sights with relish. Clicking his tongue, he thought, "Truly, the people reflect the land they inhabit."

Still, Mo Yu did not let himself get too distracted. As he continued, he detected the aura of more than a dozen Dou Wang powerhouses within just one street. He even sensed the presence of several Dou Huang experts.

In Central Plains, such powerhouses wouldn't be unusual in a city. But in the Southern Region, the density of experts was astonishing.

Imagine walking down a street in the Northwest Region and encountering this many powerful individuals. It would be unthinkable! In the Jia Ma Empire, a Dou Wang would be one of the top ten powerhouses. Yet here, a single street boasted more strong individuals than the entire Jia Ma Empire.

The disparity highlighted the formidable nature of the Southern Region.

"No wonder Yao Lao warned me to tread carefully in the Southern Region," Mo Yu thought, his expression growing serious.

Although Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts posed no threat to him, their sheer number suggested that this region harbored incredible depth and danger.

Shaking his head, Mo Yu put these thoughts aside. Just as he was about to find a place to rest, a sudden and intense spatial fluctuation rippled through the distant sky behind him.

A snow-white carriage, pulled by several brilliant silver Void Skyfish Beasts, appeared in the air.

The sudden arrival of the carriage immediately drew countless gazes and an uproar of exclamations.

"Void Skyfish Beasts? Who could possibly command such a grand procession?"

Hearing the commotion, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, his gaze locking onto the snow-white carriage.

He had heard of such magical beasts. Although they were only at the sixth rank, they were extremely rare, possessing the ability to fly through the void. Not only were they more comfortable than space ships, but their speed far surpassed them.

Many people dreamed of owning a Void Skyfish Beast, but due to their rarity and existence solely in the Southern Region, they were perpetually priced beyond reach in auction houses.

Yet today, this mysterious snow-white carriage was astonishingly being pulled by several Void Skyfish Beasts—a display of grandeur beyond compare.

While Mo Yu was lost in thought, a passerby nearby seemed to have recognized something and let out a soft exclamation.

Noticing this, Mo Yu didn't hesitate and cupped his hands in greeting. "Brother, might I ask who is riding in that Void Skyfish-pulled carriage?"

The passerby was momentarily stunned, then sized up Mo Yu and his companion before smiling. "Judging by your attire, you must be outsiders, right?"

"Indeed. I come from Central Plains for some business dealings and am unfamiliar with the local situation." Mo Yu nodded toward Qing Zhi, who caught the cue and handed a pouch of gold coins to the passerby.

The passerby weighed the coins, satisfaction evident in his expression. He had no doubts about Mo Yu's story—after all, the Southern Region was rich in resources unique to the region, and as the gateway city between the two lands, Void Abyss City saw many traders coming and going.

Having received his payment, the passerby smiled and pointed toward the carriage.

"See that wave-shaped insignia on the carriage? That's the unique emblem of the Shui Clan. If I'm not mistaken, the one inside should be the Shui Clan's eldest young lady, Shui Muqing."

Mo Yu's gaze followed the direction indicated and indeed spotted a deep blue wave emblem on the carriage, resembling rippling water.

"The Shui Clan," Mo Yu murmured, then asked, "Is the Shui Clan a powerful force?"

Hearing this, the passerby gave Mo Yu a surprised look and chuckled. "The Shui Clan is one of the five major human clans of the Southern Region. What do you think?"

"The five major human clans?" Mo Yu's curiosity deepened.

The passerby nodded slowly. "The five major human clans of the Southern Region are Xuan, Yuan, Luo, Huang, and Shui. Among them, the Xuan Clan is the most low-profile, yet no one dares to question their strength.

The Yuan Clan is the most ostentatious, the Luo Clan holds significant weight as a prominent clan, and the Huang Clan is somewhat weaker but still far superior to the Shui Clan.

In fact, among the five major clans, the Shui Clan is currently in the worst position. The other four, even the weakest Huang Clan, have a Dou Zun powerhouse in their ranks.

But the Shui Clan hasn't produced a Dou Zun in decades. If this continues, they might lose their position among the five major clans."

"Oh? A lack of a Dou Zun means being ousted from the five major clans? Does that mean all five clans have Dou Zun powerhouses?" Mo Yu was momentarily taken aback, then expressed his astonishment.

If that were the case, the power of the Southern Region was truly impressive. After all, even in Central Plains, Dou Zun powerhouses were rulers of their domains, and the Southern Region was often considered a remote backwater.

Seeing Mo Yu's surprise, the passerby was unfazed and chuckled. "You Central Plains folks always seem to think of other regions as remote and underdeveloped, don't you?"

Before Mo Yu could respond, the man continued on his own. "Remote and underdeveloped might describe the Northern and Western Continents, but the Southern Region is different.

Though it's called a Region, it's actually a vast sea. This sea is not only expansive but also incredibly resource-rich.

As a result, numerous powerful forces and strong individuals have emerged. If we Southern Region folk cared to meddle in Central Plains, your region's balance of power would undoubtedly shift."

Mo Yu nodded thoughtfully, understanding. After all, the Southern Region's sea area was larger than all the other continents combined, Central Plains included.

With such an immense expanse of ocean and abundant resources, who could say how many terrifying powers and formidable individuals were hidden within?

Mo Yu speculated that, excluding the eight ancient imperial clans and the three supreme magical beast clans, the Southern Region's overall strength might not be far behind Central Plains's.

"You mentioned that the Shui Clan is one of the five major human clans. Does that mean there are other racial forces in the Southern Region on par with them?" Mo Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Heh, you're sharp," the passerby said with a grin. "Indeed, unlike other regions, the Southern Region isn't dominated by humans. The vast majority of the area is ocean, with only a small fraction being islands.

And in those vast oceans reside the Sea Clan and sea magical beasts."

"Sea Clan and sea magical beasts? Are these two forces comparable to humans?" Mo Yu asked.

"Yes, sea magical beasts are like their land-dwelling counterparts, but there are three clans you absolutely cannot provoke: the Frenzy Shark Clan, the Twin-Headed Jiao Dragon Clan, and the Blood Tyrant Crocodile Clan.

Each of these clans rivals the Xuan Clan, the strongest of the five major human clans. Offend them, and you won't survive in this vast sea," the passerby said, trembling slightly.

"As for the Sea Clan, their origins are unclear. Some say they're an ancient race, while others claim they're the descendants of humans and sea magical beasts.

Whatever the truth, their strength cannot be underestimated. The Sea Clan is divided into eight branches. While none of them alone matches the three magical beast clans, they are each as powerful as any of the five major human clans."

After finishing his explanation, the passerby cupped his hands in farewell and left.

Watching the man's retreating figure, Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected the Southern Region to be so formidable.

Even with Qing Zhi, a Dou Zun, by his side, they couldn't claim invincibility. After all, Qing Zhi was only a one-star Dou Zun.

As they talked, the snow-white carriage, pulled by the Void Skyfish Beasts, disappeared into the distant sky with a crisp ticking sound.

Mo Yu shook his head and said, "Let's find a place to rest first."
