Port Evans.
This was the easternmost port of the Yassen Kingdom. Relying on the trade with the Eastern Continent, it had accumulated unimaginable wealth. Every day, many businessmen, adventurers, and mercenaries with dreams came to this port city, bringing new vitality to this port city.
Although many of them would become corpses in the sewers or unlucky people in shipwrecks, there would always be one or two guys who were favored by the God of Destiny who would be lucky enough to board a passenger ship to the East and successfully bring back a batch of specialties from the Eastern Continent.
No matter what it was, it would be immediately bought by the Chamber of Commerce in the port, realizing the legend of getting rich overnight, and encouraging more people to come to find opportunities to make a fortune.
Dang! Dang!
With the huge copper bell ringing, a passenger ship from the Eastern Continent slowly docked at the dock.
Before the ship stopped, many laborers swarmed up and under the leadership of the foreman, they built a pontoon bridge and prepared to transport the goods.
At this time, most passenger ships were dual-purpose, carrying both goods and people.
From the other side of the suspension bridge, many white people with white skin and blonde hair came down, weather-beaten, but their faces were full of nostalgia.
"Home, finally back!"
…
Among the group of westerners, there were also a few yellow-skinned easterners, which was very conspicuous.
"That's … a crane?"
Wu Ming stood on the deck, watching the huge machine moving tons of goods, like the arm of God, he could not help but secretly nod.
At the end of this mechanical arm was a large net bag, woven with special cables, which was extremely strong, and could easily carry several tons of goods.
Relying on the crane and the caterpillar tracks on the side, a ship of goods was quickly dismantled, divided into small packages, and carried back to a specific warehouse by the laborers, which took a very short time.
"Sure enough, has it developed to this point?"
Wu Ming could keenly perceive the traces of magic power on the mechanical crane.
Even if it was just some simple enchantment technology, it proved that the power of mages was widely used in people's lives.
For this trip, Wu Ming did not want to shock the world, so he directly disguised himself as an ordinary person and mixed into this ocean liner.
With his methods, whether it was the captain, the sailors, or the passengers, none of them felt the slightest abnormality.
Even the Western Gods were unaware of his arrival.
"Hmm, what a bustling port …"
This port in the west was obviously livelier than the port in the east, but it was also more chaotic.
Silk and spices from the East, corals and pearls from the deep sea, root carvings from the tree elves, and all kinds of strange items related to voodoo magic were displayed on the shelves, dazzling the eyes of those who looked at them.
Although most of the pedestrians were Caucasians, there were people of other skin colors mixed in. There were even one or two fair-skinned, pointy ears, extremely androgynous aliens walking by.
"Elves?"
Wu Ming took a few more glances at them with interest. The elves of this world were slightly different from the legends of his previous world. Not all of them were handsome men or beautiful women, but their appearances were very neutral. Furthermore, they always carried bows and swords with them. The smell of blood on them made Wu Ming realize that they were definitely not decorations, but weapons used to kill and drink blood.
"First, I'll go around the western countries and settle some matters, then I'll go to the territory of the other races …"
Wu Ming made up his mind.
Other than investigating the Western Continent, he also had a few things he wanted to understand.
As he thought of this, he began to caress a ring in his pocket.
This was Wu Ming's spoils of war from the port in New Territories, the ring with the image of the Ouroboros.
It had originally belonged to a group of strange high-ranking professionals from the west, who had gone to the east to cause chaos.
But when they ran into Wu Ming's hands, they were naturally completely wiped out, and even the ring became Wu Ming's spoils of war.
Originally, the image of the Ouroboros reminded Pope Henze of the Seer Continent's World Destroyer Serpent.
But now that Wu Ming had obtained all of the Endless Serpent's inheritance and memories, he knew that this existence did not have any arrangements or backups in the western continent of this world.
The origins of this Ouroboros were rather strange.
Wu Ming even suspected that the Endless Serpent was not the only one resurrected after the death of the almighty who created the main shrine.
If there was another incarnation, then everything could be explained.
"The Endless Serpent's original body was at the peak of rank 8, an existence infinitely close to rank 9. Only a true rank 9 could cause its death and damage its imprint in the river of time … But how could a rank 8 existence die so easily? Just the resurrection of the Endless Serpent could set up a universe, and in the end almost schemed against me as well, ascending to the position of Grand Heavenly …
"If something goes wrong with its imprint, it's possible that there's another incarnation that the Endless Serpent doesn't know about resurrected …"
Wu Ming stroked his chin, "Of course, it might not necessarily be related to the Endless Serpent …"
From the Endless Serpent's inheritance, he understood that the emblem of the Ouroboros did not represent the Endless Serpent alone, but the inheritance of the bloodline of an ancient Diablo!
All almighty beings who inherited a trace of that ancient Diablo's bloodline could use the emblem of the Ouroboros.
There seemed to be a mysterious power in the emblem, and if one was above rank 6 and possessed the bloodline of an Diablo, they could use it to complete some sort of ancient sacrifice and obtain whatever they wanted from the Diablo.
However, with the Endless Serpent's rich experience in roaming many universes and not finding anything similar to it, the bloodline of that Diablo was already very thin.
However, in this higher dimension world, everything was hard to say.
"What does the Ouroboros Ring mean, and which true god is it related to?"
All the gods in the western world congratulated him on his ascension to the Grand Heavenly.
However, with Wu Ming's knowledge of the western pantheon, he did not find any existence similar to the Endless Serpent.
Unless it was the Supreme God!
But that was even more impossible. If the Supreme God wanted to wage war against the east, he could just issue a divine decree. There was no need for him to send people to the east to wreak havoc with such underhanded methods.
"A hidden true god, huh? Or rather, an existence equivalent to a true god! "
Wu Ming murmured.
Although the path of divinity was the mainstream in this world, there were other paths too.
Whether it was the immortals of the east, or the liches and great sorcerers of the west, they all had power comparable to a true god!
The Magus Tower they lived in, or rather, the demiplane they lived in, was no different from a Sovereign's Divine Kingdom.
In fact, because they did not receive much faith and were free and unfettered, the restrictions they faced on the continent were much smaller than that of a true god.
The Eastern Union relied on this characteristic to contend against the gods. By directly establishing their headquarters in the Origin World, they had grasped the weakness of the gods.
After all, the true bodies of the gods could not descend into the main world at will, and could only use incarnations or God's Descent. Immortals who could use their original strength in the main world were naturally better.
It was because of this that the Union had been able to resist the counterattack of the gods at the beginning and stubbornly survive until now.
If it was not a true god and was not registered in the Western Pantheon, Wu Ming naturally would not know about it.
"Or maybe it's not another incarnation of the Infinite Serpent, but just a cult disciple who was summoned by the ancient evil god?"
Wu Ming pondered, "If that's the case, why did they go to the Eastern Continent to provoke us?"
"No matter what, this ring is a clue that will lead me to the truth!"
Wu Ming was quite confident about this.
…
The biggest difference between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent was that one was the unified Great Chang Empire, while the other was a scattered alliance of countries.
In the Western Continent, there were many kingdoms, and below them were nobles who were enfeoffed. The power was rather scattered.
However, between countries, there were still some organizations that had influence across countries. They were the churches and guilds!
There was nothing much to say about the churches. As long as a western true god was recognized by the Eye of Supervision, they could have the right to preach in any country. Of course, how many believers they could attract depended on the ability of the respective churches.
As for the guilds, they were more similar to the Eastern Union, a non-governmental organization. In the beginning, they were a gathering of specific handicrafts and Transcendents. Later, they gradually developed into continental organizations with many functions. Although they were not as disciplined as the churches and were filled with a free and undisciplined atmosphere, their intelligence was also very shocking.
"A large city in the West must have many churches, as well as the Mercenary Guild and the Bandit Guild …"
Wu Ming curled his lips. "Unfortunately, those bandits are like rats. They have to hide the guild and even set a time to open it. Otherwise, in terms of rich and accurate intelligence, the Bandit Guild would be better …"
At that moment, he did not have much choice. He went straight to the Mercenary Guild.
"Hello, esteemed customer. How can I help you?"
The lady behind the counter asked with a smile. She bowed deeply, revealing her full and round bosom.
"I'm a tourist from the East. I want to issue a mission. What procedures do I need?"
Wu Ming asked with a smile.
"There's a need for a reserve. Furthermore, we will evaluate the mission's content and danger level. Then, we will determine the level and reward!"
The lady replied with a sweet smile.
Clearly, compared to the strict household registration system of the Great Chang Empire, it was unrealistic to have such a system in the Western countries. Therefore, the Mercenary Guild's services were rather humane. However, the fees were more expensive.
"What mission would you like to issue?"
"Bounty! I need information regarding this ring! "
Wu Ming raised the Ouroboros Ring on his finger as a smile appeared on his lips.
