Angr can solve that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s go see this All-Knowing Sea and check if we can break its seals—I love gods with wisdom.” Negril rubbed his hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Knowing, All-Powerful All-Knowing God—just hearing the name, you know it’s his kind; Negril loved gods like this, equally full of wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin shrugged dismissively: “It has no wisdom at all—otherwise it wouldn’t have gone bankrupt. Storing all the grain and not worrying about expiration? That’s the biggest waste of resources. Even for safety, you need multiple safeguards so believers can access the grain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now it’s dead. Believers either starve or abandon faith. Lose believers, and it can never reignite its divine flame—no chance of revival. So stupid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare to hear Silvercoin ramble like this; to a merchant, hoarding assets in a warehouse was unforgivable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grain is fundamentally a resource—the easiest commodity to operate. You don’t even need to move it out of storage for it to appreciate on its own,” Silvercoin muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angr scratched his head, glancing at Silvercoin with confusion—why did he feel like he was being insulted? He was exactly the kind who locked grain in warehouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, my lord, your grain has already been issued as grain vouchers and promissory notes, circulating through commercial channels and continuously appreciating,” said Silvercoin, quick to read the situation—Angr gave him one look and he instantly understood, rushing to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negril was stunned: “When did this happen? How come I didn’t know? I never saw you move any grain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin rubbed his hands, smiling warmly: “No need to move grain—just having it at home is enough. Empty-handed manipulation is too easy. Right now, I hold enough grain vouchers and promissory notes to feed ten million people. That’s why the All-Knowing God’s priests came to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But vouchers are just financial tools—ultimately, you still need actual grain. Without grain, even if we truly possess the All-Knowing God’s divine essence, it’s useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negril suddenly understood: “So you’ve already handled everything—just waiting for Angr to pay up. Clever bastard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin rubbed his hands again: “Best case? Break the All-Knowing Sea’s seal—we won’t even need to pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merchant!” Negril cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Knowing Sea is a plane entirely covered by water, where a peculiar phenomenon occurs—water is lighter than air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, air sinks to the seabed, while water floats in the sky, forming a water curtain that envelops the entire plane. Between this curtain and the land lies an air layer, where humans live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Angr’s group teleported in, the first thing they saw was an ocean inverted above the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation array was busy; people kept emerging, some perhaps first-timers. After stepping out, they stared upward, shouting: “Magic! Magic! Miracle! Miracle! Barrier! Barrier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the ignorant shouted nonsense. The knowledgeable dragons were already analyzing: “Strong lightning element—does this water carry electricity? Water element charged, earth element below also charged—is it elemental repulsion making them float?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find someone who can withstand lightning, fly into the air, and connect the lightning elements of water and earth, neutralizing their opposing phases—the sky-water will fall,” Negril deduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin froze, blinked, and looked at Anthony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony, caught off guard, hesitated, then sharply turned to Negril.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negril looked confused: “What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin praised: “Lord Negril, you’re a genius. This might be exactly how to break the All-Knowing Sea’s seal—the priests studied it for months without progress, yet you saw through it at a glance. You’re incredible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just common sense, that’s all,” Negril waved modestly, though his tail was already curling high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go to the All-Knowing Sea,” Silvercoin led them to the edge of the air layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? The air layer has an edge?” Negril asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin nodded: “Yes. They’re like bubbles—some large, some small. Large ones resemble continents, surrounded by mountains, with stable, immobile air. Some are tiny, like islands—isolated, and some drift randomly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not far from Leo’s Court, yet Leo’s faction never tried to crush the All-Knowing God. First, though nominally under Leo’s control and with officials appointed by Leo’s Chairman, these officials are mere decorations—mainly managing the All-Knowing God’s priests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Anthony nodded in understanding: “I get it—just like how I sidelined the Church before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin blinked, continuing: “Second, and more importantly, the environment here. Not even a purge is feasible—dive into the sea, and you can’t even find the bubble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony quickly asked: “Is the All-Knowing Sea inside a similar bubble? Can you find its location?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t find it—but someone will guide us. But first—who will be the All-Knowing God?” Silvercoin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvercoin’s plan was to buy the All-Knowing Church and seize control through naming rights—requiring an All-Knowing God. Negril was ideal, but looking at his innocent dragon face, Silvercoin hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that look for? You want me to play god? That’s the job for a priest—give me technical support,” Negril, oblivious to being insulted, scorned the deception. In the end, Anthony had to take the role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they spotted the old priest at the dock. Silvercoin solemnly introduced Anthony: “This is the reincarnated All-Knowing God. His reincarnation was hasty—he lost many memories and no longer remembers you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony played along, wearing a look of confused bewilderment mixed with “wisdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony’s act fooled many—but the old priest stared deeply at Anthony, then suspiciously at Angr, before returning his gaze to Anthony, speaking calmly: “Whoever you are—bring grain, and you become the new All-Knowing God.”\u003C\u002Fp>",982,"2026-06-21T03:18:46.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b82a1456a5699ab5d9719776c13f11db82176c5bf8b917523eb297f4cc13abc1","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-997","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-995",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-cover.jpg"]
