Chapter 292: The Legend Is Actually Me?

Padelin New Voyage Island, Dock No. 24.

"Woo…"

An old steam passenger ship spewing gray‑black source‑energy steam docked.

The dock began to bustle.

Nearby island residents selling local specialties crowded onto the dock, using their not‑very‑fluent Ceylonis tongue to hawk snacks, local tobacco, and little trinkets such as body‑totem accessories to the disembarking travelers.

Most of these vendors were children.

And the great majority of them did not possess a Supernatural Rank.

One reason is that Padelin New Voyage Island's Supernatural Seed price is inherently high.

Another reason is that these dark‑skinned, short children are native residents of the Supernatural Ocean.

They find it hard to be admitted by Padelin New Voyage Island's Supernatural Academy, pass the Supernatural Talent assessment, and obtain a Supernatural Rank.

Although the Ceylonis Principality is currently advancing a residency bill.

It would allow these ocean natives to become official residents of the Ceylonis Principality, gain its citizenship rights, and let their children receive Supernatural education.

But policy implementation always takes time to take effect.

Fortunately!

Nowadays Padelin New Voyage Island has begun to permit these ocean natives to move in voluntarily.

And if we go back forty to fifty years.

Those ocean natives were then deemed "uncivilized aborigines"; once captured, their heads were cut off, hung on the ship's rail to dry, and used as a deterrent against tribes that worshiped evil‑spirit ocean aborigines.

Steam‑roaring waves.

They propelled the development of the Supernatural Era, bringing many new changes.

Amid the bustling, noisy crowd.

A 'Grey Robe Wizard' wearing a plain third‑tier grey wizard robe stepped off the ship, glanced at the old steam‑powered sea‑sail passenger vessel, and murmured thoughtfully.

"The source‑energy steam engine is heavily polluted by chaotic Supernatural Ocean traits; it could break down at any moment. The captain should replace that large source‑energy steam engine… hmm… perhaps it's not just the engine that needs replacement."

"This ship is old enough; the cabins reek of rot and mold, even my magical little house can't block it."

"Fortunately… it's finally docked, and my nose won't suffer any more."

As the crowd kept moving forward, the wizard Taku, rubbing his nose, looked up toward this pearl of the ocean—Padelin New Voyage Island.

The concave bay blocks the surge of waves; no matter how rough the sea outside, the bay remains calm—a perfect bay dock.

This is also why Padelin New Voyage Island can continuously expand its scale.

Taku heard it when he arrived on the passenger ship.

Padelin New Voyage Island plans to carve mountains on both sides of the bay to develop new islands.

Such a heavy responsibility naturally falls to the non‑Earth‑type elders.

Even in this Supernatural World, Earth‑type elders can still play a huge role.

Around the concave bay dock, layers of predominantly white, bay‑style buildings spread outward, stretching like scales to the foot of the distant mountains where the Steam Tower District stands.

Steam from the Steam Tower District constantly rises, almost merging with the mountains.

From afar, Taku surveyed those environmental towers, a flash of light flickering in his eyes.

"The steam ecology of Padelin New Voyage Island is quite good,"

"Thanks to the sea breeze, the steam‑gray mist here looks fresh, unlike Saint Land, which stays heavy and stagnant year after year."

"Hmm… there's also a Four‑Ring Tower, a promising potential development site."

Taku examined the newly arrived Padelin New Voyage Island with interest.

"Head to the Three‑Eyed Divine Church Tower."

On the street, Taku boarded a carriage waiting to carry passengers.

To the clatter of hooves.

Outside the window, Padelin New Voyage Island's street scene unfolded like a long scroll.

A dazzling variety of shops lined the way.

Both numerous Supernatural beings, travelers, and merchants from the inland of the Ceylonis Principality, as well as the darker‑skinned ocean natives, were present.

Only the number of Supernatural beings was relatively few.

Occasionally, Taku could see some Supernatural beings whose attire differed sharply from that of the locals.

Obviously, these differently dressed Supernatural beings were foreign visitors.

More than half a month ago.

Taku blew up the Black Eclipse, pursued and nuked the Sixth‑Rank Bishop Jerome Mike.

Although Taku knew that some people had seen the scene.

He never imagined that the incident would cause a massive ripple over the ocean.

First, the Steam Ocean Daily gave a comprehensive, detailed account of the entire battle between Taku and Jerome Mike.

It even annotated Taku's level 45 and Jerome Mike's level 68.

At the same time, the Ocean Steam Daily bluntly exposed Taku's identity.

Divine Favored One "Taku Lamor".

That instantly set the Supernatural Ocean boiling.

In the following days.

One after another, many local Supernatural prodigies, and even foreign Supernatural prodigies, appeared.

They each paid to publish announcements.

Or they brazenly declared they would challenge Divine Favored One Taku.

Or they claim to be a super‑genius themselves, demanding a true‑man 1V1 duel with Divine Vessel Ta Ke; if Divine Vessel Ta Ke is a man, don't back down.

Obviously!

These Ta Kes have never heard of exotic extraordinary geniuses or native extraordinary geniuses; they all intend to ride on Ta Ke's fame to settle their own legendary traits.

Some even say they will slay Divine Vessel Ta Ke.

Undoubtedly, this is the incompetent howling of the dark rats of the Shadow Sun Church hiding in dark corners.

Ta Ke likes that kind of people who can't kill him yet get angry.

For half a month straight, discussions about angels, forbidden curses, Divine Vessel and the like never cooled.

So when Ta Ke transferred to a regular passenger ship at the northernmost "Star Ke Island" of Padlin New Voyage Island, he could hear words about steam angels, Divine Vessel, forbidden curses everywhere.

When the passenger ship passed the Three‑Eyed God prayer hall, he would hear prayers containing "Divine Vessel" and "Ta Ke Lamor".

Undoubtedly, Ta Ke's legendary story has begun to take shape within the extraordinary world.

Across the sea, the true name is sung!

Thus during this period, Ta Ke's legendary traits settled into another small climax.

Amid the tide of ages, forging his immortal legendary traits, Ta Ke feels it more clearly!

Compared to Saintland, which has many followers of the Three‑Eyed God Church.

Padlin New Voyage Island has far fewer followers.

Thus at the scorching noon, the vast Three‑Eyed God Square is almost empty.

Having paid, Ta Ke stepped down from the carriage and scanned the Three‑Eyed God Church Square.

He immediately walked toward a bench in the nearby shade.

Under the shade, a man in a black coat, dark‑skinned and calm, was feeding the many gulls that had landed on the square.

When Ta Ke arrived.

The numerous gulls, as if startled, burst with a boom and all scattered, fleeing the place.

At that moment, the dark‑skinned man finally looked up at the taller, burly wizard in a three‑tier gray wizard robe before him.

"I need to see His Highness Archbishop Lei Yage."

Ta Ke said bluntly.

The dark‑skinned man was initially a bit puzzled.

When he heard Ta Ke's unmistakable Saintland accent and his purpose.

The dark‑skinned man was shocked and stood up instantly.

"You… how did you discover me?"

The dark‑skinned man belongs to the Steam Dark Assassin sequence; regardless of strength, his self‑concealment methods and abilities are astonishing across Padlin New Voyage Island.

Yet this person recognized him at a glance.

"Are you referring to the aura of the Three‑Eyed God prayer ritual that has settled within the Three‑Eyed God Church? Or the fact that you hold a level‑59 reserve Archbishop rank? Or perhaps your four steam cores and the formidable Steam Dark Assassin extraordinary sequence?"

Ta Ke smoothly sat on the bench in the shade and said lightly.

Ta Ke's few words made the dark‑skinned man unable to stay seated, even though he was already standing.

In front of this wizard, he seemed transparent.

He saw the other's level was only 40.

Besides that, he could not sense the other's extraordinary sequence, state, or essential aura at all.

He even sensed that the reported level 40 was false; the newspaper said 45.

"So… it really is you!"

"Divine Vessel Highness!"

The dark‑skinned man paused, then said seriously.

"His Highness Archbishop and several Bishops are in a meeting, discussing the handling of the Forbidden Seal Land thereafter."

"If Divine Vessel Highness has more important matters to see the Archbishop, I can take you to meet him now."

Ta Ke waved his hand after listening and said, "No rush, have a seat!"

"You can first tell me about the Forbidden Seal items within Padlin New Voyage Island."

"Also… regarding the World Barrier, if you know, you may elaborate."

"When I came, I heard many extraordinary beings discussing the Dual‑World Barrier; the situation there seems severe."

"Glad to be of service!"

The dark‑skinned man sat, brewed for a moment, then began to speak.

"…"
