Chapter 618: Absorbing Purple Belt!
The Sea of Domains was raging with fierce waves, as small ferries continuously cruised atop it.
Below the ferries were kayaks carved with special totems, each equipped with six Beast Masters.
These ferries all belonged to the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, and the people on board wore the Federation's standard uniform.
However, the people on the kayaks wore different clothes, clearly coming from various factions.
The members of various factions were using Spatial Equipment to collect Extraterrestrial Embryos in the Sea of Domains. Under normal circumstances, the best way to collect Extraterrestrial Embryos was to use Aquatic Sovereign Beasts for exploration.
As living radars, Aquatic Sovereign Beasts could quickly detect Extraterrestrial Embryos floating on the sea surface and even those that had sunk to the seafloor.
Different Extraterrestrial Embryos left behind by dead extraterrestrial creatures had different densities. For example, those formed by Touch Dog and Sting Antelope mostly floated on the surface.
Even if some did not float on the surface, they would not sink below two hundred meters.
Whereas the Embryos formed by Swallow after death were much heavier than those of Touch Dog and Sting Antelope, mostly settling on the ocean floor or drifting in the currents below five hundred meters.
This made collecting these Extraterrestrial Embryos extremely difficult!
Currently, the Sea of Domains was heavily polluted, and the Beast Masters in the sea could not last a day before their bodies mutated and rotted to death.
The once-rich and lush Sea of Domains had now completely transformed into a Dead Zone.
The aquatic creatures that had failed to escape had all become trapped spirits of the Sea of Domains.
To prevent the accumulation of Dead Qi from giving rise to marine undead in the Sea of Domains, the Ten-thousand Nations Federation had sent several Chanting Phoenix Seagulls to superintend the souls in the sea.
Harnessing their inner Phoenix bloodline to enhance their Light Attribute Skills, the purification abilities carried by the Chanting Phoenix Seagulls could indeed eliminate some of the pollution in the Sea of Domains.
However, this speed of pollution cleanup was almost negligible for the Sea of Domains itself.
The Sea of Domains bordered the Boundary Sea Federation, and it was essential to manage the pollution in the Sea of Domains.
Due to the special geographical location of the Sea of Domains, with continuous Ten-thousand-feet Ice Mountains to the northwest and a connection to other seas to the southeast due to inward-sweeping currents, the waters from other seas were backflowing into the Sea of Domains,
making the Sea of Domains resemble an inland sea isolated by glaciers.
The Contract Garden had not managed to clean up a large number of Extraterrestrial Embryos but had been constantly researching the management of pollution from extraterrestrial creatures.
In addressing the pollution problems of extraterrestrial creatures, there had been significant breakthroughs.
In this polluted sea area, where aquatic lives were wiped out, it was a nightmare for flesh-and-blood creatures.
Yet, the specially cultivated Absorbing Purple Belt could take root in this area, absorbing the pollution energy released by extraterrestrial creatures to encapsulate the energy within their bodies before massively multiplying in the sea.
The growth rate of the Absorbing Purple Belt was extremely fast; with proper arrangements in place, harvesting these in the Sea of Domains could clear out the pollution energy.
This would allow the water quality of the Sea of Domains to reach the living standards of the Sea Divine Beasts.
After the Absorbing Purple Belt solidified the pollution energy in their bodies, under the harsh sunlight, they would secrete a special biological enzyme that could slowly degrade the pollution energy, preventing it from continuously causing further pollution.
The tide had not yet reached its peak, but the Absorbing Purple Belts were already being extensively planted in the peripheral areas of the Sea of Domains.
The Contract Garden had always placed great importance on pollution management, a lesson learned after suffering many losses.
It had specially cultivated some organisms capable of treating land polluted by extraterrestrial creatures.
However, due to untimely treatment and worsening pollution, the Guardian Beasts that could have cleaned up the extraterrestrial pollution had lost their effectiveness.
Taking the current state of the Sea of Domains, if the pollution energy in the Sea of Domains were to double or more, the Absorbing Purple Belt could still consume the pollution energy as food.
But the Absorbing Purple Belt would also be corroded by the pollution energy, preventing them from secreting biological enzymes quickly enough to break down the pollution energy, causing the pollution energy to return to the water.
This pollution energy not only threatened the safety of the Sea Clan and humans but also could be absorbed by extraterrestrial creatures to heal injuries or speed up the hatching of Extraterrestrial Embryos.
The Ten-thousand Nations Federation was currently holding a meeting that had lasted over three hours.
It was rare for internal meetings of the Ten-thousand Nations Federation to exceed three hours.
Zhuang Herui joined the meeting temporarily and sat in the third seat on the left.
Zhuang Herui frowned and glanced at the second seat above him, quite dissatisfied with the position reserved for him.
Han Ming spoke to Zhuang Herui,
"Have all the extraterrestrial embryos been collected? Has Jianmu from Qixing responded to you?"
For the past four or five days, Zhuang Herui had been in contact with Fang Mu, inquiring about the status of the first batch of extraterrestrial embryo cleanup from Qixing.
This first batch was minor; the Ten-thousand Nations Federation had underestimated the number of Extraterrestrial Embryos in the Sea of Domains.
The second batch of collected Extraterrestrial Embryos was more than nine times the quantity of the first!
Plus, with what was collected today, it would likely reach ten times!
The quantity of the second batch of Extraterrestrial Embryos was staggering; loading them would require nearly two hundred Spirit Capturing Boxes.
