After entering the bubble and landing on the deck of Minos' yacht, Ross used his energy to steer that bubble in the right direction.

After a few moments, this bubble entered a marine current, quickly moving as if it were in a river, but one that was at the bottom of the sea.

Ross explained. "There are marine currents at various points in the ocean. But the safest of them are near the ocean floor, where one can easily move without the same dangers in other areas.

Some beasts use these currents near the sea floor, but they are not particularly powerful for the most part. At the same time, few ships can withstand these currents, so humans don't normally travel here.

As I am doing with you, sea beasts usually direct the few that do. With good guides, trouble has a more challenging time getting to you." It smiled as it saw Minos paying attention to the current carrying them.

They were traveling at high speed, even faster than if they were sailing at full speed on Minos' yacht.

This was only because of the force with which the water was moving there, where bubbles were forming between the path of the current and the surroundings, and the bubble covering Minos' boat was shaking.

No other beings were traveling that way near Minos and those fish, as those strong currents could kill anyone below level 60 who ventured there.

'That's a super efficient highway...' Minos thought to himself, wondering how beneficial this was for transporting items and beings to the underwater tribes and states.

If he could use something like that in the Black Plain Empire, it would save thousands of high-grade crystals.

Unfortunately, that only existed in the water world.

"Traveling this way will take how long to reach the City of a Thousand Races?" He asked.

That level 84 colored fish said. "About 30 hours, no more than that."

"OK."

They then proceeded to travel that way for the next few hours, traveling smoothly for the first few hours but soon encountering a migration of beasts on their way.

When they had traveled more than halfway to the City of a Thousand Races, their group saw numerous groups of beasts moving in the opposite direction to them.

Upon seeing that, Randall said. "It seems the rumors are true..."

"Hmm, some elder is awakening from its seclusion in the center of the Ancestral Sea," Sapphire said.

The distance Minos had traveled until his departure from the Western Empire was equivalent to one-sixth of the distance to the central area of this fabulous sea.

Knowing this, he couldn't help but be impressed by it. "Are you saying that these beings moving nearby are doing this because of a being awakening in the central area of the Ancestral Sea? How is that possible? We are so far away from there!"

But then the level 84 fish replied. "That's right. Those beings are fleeing even though we are far away from that area.

Do you know what races they belong to? I can tell that most of them are from tribes in that area. Plus, you can tell they are seeking refuge from their levels."

Most of the beings traveling in large groups near Minos and his companions were weak.

"Weak beasts like that usually migrate away when something big is about to happen," Randall commented. "They'll probably stay for a while living near the coast of the Central Continent until the sea calms down."

Ross said. "It's not unusual for elders to wake up from their seclusion and devour weaker beings near them. So beings below the 7th stage will certainly flee as far away as possible.

As for those stronger than that, they are probably already moving to the interior of their tribes and safe places, such as the City of a Thousand Races."

"But why travel so far? I doubt that elders will come here just to threaten low-level creatures." Minos said.

"Truly, that would be the normal thing to expect. But the elder awakening from its sleep is a level 99 Blue Whale, which is approaching the peak of the 10th stage. Once it wakes up, it will try to gather as much energy as possible before going out searching for Divine-grade medicine.

Only then can it become a God!"

"To do this, it will devour weak beasts that large tribes would not miss and therefore would not try to avenge," Randall added, making the situation for Minos clear.

"You have to be careful, Ed. You are traveling to the central area of the Ancestral Sea, so you will face its range. If I were you, I would be careful. That elder will not polish any human near it.

It will try to eat you if it senses you around." Sapphire warned Minos.

"Hmm, I'll keep that in mind." He said as he became curious about the strength of that sea. "By the way, that elder is at level 99. How many others like it are there in this sea? Should I be worried about anyone else?"

The level 84 Spiritual Sage said. "It's not easy to estimate an exact number. I myself know the names of six level 99 elders. But some fishes say there are 10 to 15 level 99 beasts in the Ancestral Sea."

The other two fish shook their heads in agreement with this individual.

"If we consider the other seas around the Spiritual World, I would say that there are about 50 or 60 beasts at that level... We are quite numerous, hehe."

That might sound like a lot, but there were hundreds of billions of sea creatures in the entire Spiritual World. Meanwhile, there were less than 30 billion humans, even considering those in the Divine Continent.

So it was natural that the number of level 99 sea beasts was more significant than the number of experts at this level among humans.

Minos knew this was the case since ancient times, so he was not too shocked, although he was wary of these beings.

'The seas are hazardous... I need to be careful on my journey in the future.' He pondered, thinking about this journey and the ventures he already had in mind.

With that, they quietly followed the rest of the journey, seeing more beasts migrating away from the core of this sea while slowly seeing the City of a Thousand Races in the distance.

That place was stratospherically prominent, so less than a hundred kilometers away, one would see that place!

Minos saw that place when it was still 30 minutes before they arrived, opening his eyes wide as he decided to go after something compatible with himself or his interest in this trip.

'Time to see what that elf said!'
