Chapter 674 - 532: Launching the Subaquatic Civilization Movement

"I was wondering where the tenth level had gone, turns out the tenth level is locked up in the Chaos Sun? It’s even turned into ruins?"

Liu Jun rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

He discovered something.

No matter which stage of civilization, no people could be found.

Turns out, they were all imprisoned in each stage.

He casually reached out to touch a signpost; it felt hard to the touch, seemingly made of some indestructible material.

This indestructible material seemed familiar to Liu Jun.

But he didn’t have time to think more; time was pressing, and he decisively began to turn back and ascend!

Splash!

He transformed into a fish, swiftly swimming upward.

Upon reaching 5,000 meters, he noticed his heartbeat becoming very irregular.

As the chaos pressure suddenly dropped, his tenth level’s original heart started showing abnormal heartbeats.

"Abnormal heartbeat? It seems to be caused by the sudden change in pressure..."

"Is this decompression sickness?"

A term quickly appeared in his mind.

Decompression sickness, known to some divers from humanity’s time on Earth when they dived deep.

When surfacing from a dive, decompression was needed during the ascent.

At different water pressure depths, they needed to pause, step by step decompressing and readapting to surface pressure.

The decompression time often took several hours.

Otherwise, there was a risk of lung explosion.

"Do I need to decompress too?"

Liu Jun quickly realized that his divine vortex heart had the risk of unstable explosion during the circulation process.

The sudden change in chaos pressure affected the stability of his heart’s [release] and [contraction] cycles.

He immediately stopped ascending to adapt to the suddenly changing pressure.

After a few hours, he felt his heartbeat nearing stabilization, then he began to continue ascending.

Upon reaching 3,000 meters, Liu Jun stopped again for a second decompression.

Continuing to ascend and decompress, Liu Jun slowly but surely surfaced completely.

Seeing the endless void above his head, he exhaled with lingering fear,

"Diving for one hour, and decompression took five hours..."

"The closest I’ve been to death wasn’t facing an enemy, but almost losing to diving."

He checked the oxygen tank, which was empty, and the bread was only half left.

Luckily, he restored his strength with the bread and crazily produced Heaven Opening Divine Objects to fill the oxygen tank with divine power, barely enough to breathe.

He turned his head, "The Chaos Sea, it’s a bit too terrifying. I never thought that even at the tenth level, I’d have to experience diving, including the mechanism of decompression."

Liu Jun steadied his mood and started reviewing the information he obtained.

The amount of information was enormous!

Now that he looked, the sun beneath his feet was probably the ruin of a tenth level civilization.

But thinking carefully, it makes perfect sense. The tenth level civilization was destroyed, so what would its ruins become?

A pile of palace architectural relics?

Of course not. Naturally, it turned completely into a massive Chaos Sun.

"With diving notices, it’s likely that treasures can be salvaged from these civilization ruins."

And in the chaos, there are treasures from ancient civilizations that aren’t swallowed by chaos. Is that normal?

Of course, it’s normal.

Didn’t that notice board not get swallowed by chaos?

Liu Jun’s divine objects haven’t been swallowed by chaos either!

In a certain era of a Chaos Sun God before, a certain Cain, frustrated by being beaten by mortals, threw his divine object into the Chaos Sun, refusing to give it to the mortals.

In the end.

Those mortals still managed, by attacking the Chaos Sun and creating an impact, to knock out the evolutionary divine objects inside!

This shows that high-level divine objects won’t be swallowed by chaos!

Whereas low-level divine objects, like those of the Hundred Mouths Emperor, may disappear upon encountering chaos!

"In there, likely are divine objects of fallen ancient tenth level civilization strongmen still floating in the chaos."

"Many people go in to salvage the divine objects of ancient strongmen..."

Liu Jun instantly guessed this possibility.

No, it’s not just a possibility; it’s a certainty.

"But, diving and salvaging is extremely risky, and there’s also decompression sickness..."

"At the entrance, there’s another notice board left by some other unknown period ancient civilization, whether they have fallen or not."

"With such a warning, I’m afraid many divers have died inside."

Liu Jun roughly glimpsed a corner of the tenth level civilization.

Diving was very popular.

I fear, there are many famous lakes, oceans in the void...

supplying a large number of divers to dive in.

"Surya, Longevity God... those two left at that time, probably not knowing about diving."

"After countless years when they returned, they likely discovered diving and started frequently diving back and forth, falling in love with this thrilling activity."

After all, any divine objects preserved in chaos erosion are definitely enormous treasures!

Such a strongman’s pre-life realm level, must be extremely high!

At least, the random divine objects Liu Jun himself condensed couldn’t withstand chaos erosion.

But the mushroom divine object in his hand could block chaos.

"However, the diving risks are enormous, admittedly many have filled the Chaos Sea, becoming nourishment inside, transforming into new treasures waiting for others to salvage."

"That notice board which can withstand chaos... it too is probably from some divine object series."

"Hmm, probably notice board series divine objects?"

Liu Jun secretly mocked.

He didn’t think himself poor for having just reached the notice board’s entrance.

Clearly, Chaos Diving is a collective activity.

Not having support, breaching the entrance alone is already commendable.

Because of the existence of decompression sickness, the ascent requires repeated decompressions, so you must have outside partners to cooperate.

Others would deliver oxygen tanks repeatedly from outside.

Just like a grand army marching, there must be numerous logistics teams providing supplies behind you.

Surya and the Longevity God are obviously two diving buddies.

After reasoning this through, Liu Jun more or less knew some rules of a tenth level civilization,

"Diving?"

Liu Jun took a deep breath, feeling his body, "My body, having gone through that heart throb, seems more condensed...."

He realized that with each dive, his heartbeat became more consolidated, seemingly a form of cultivation.

Perhaps...

Even a tenth level civilization is some form of imprisonment!

But it’s an imprisonment in the form of diving.

Tenth level strongmen in the void, they can ignore distances.

Each of them divers, going to major famous oceans, lakes, diving in teams wild?

But probably, many more died in diving.

Liu Jun speculated thus, feeling this trip rewarding, his mouth slightly curled up:

"I should probably head back."

"The amount of information is massive, the Twelve Constellations, the Twelve Zodiac... that tenth level civilization, it needs to be changed, can’t remain so scattered."

Previously, Liu Jun didn’t care about them, but now he had to reclaim the reign.

He must turn them into a diving civilization, start the grand diving undertaking!

For instance, first develop a fixed divine object series: diving suits.

A divine object series specialized for diving that can dive deeper.

Ancient civilization ruins...

Liu Jun’s expression was calm, and the next moment, he vanished from the spot.

When he came to his senses, he was already back in his bakery, "I might as well open a diving shop, selling bread outside..."

"My bread seems to be very beneficial for diving supplies."
