When the Great Whale's breath scattered the mist, a new world awaited. Chen Qi's transmigration into New Sun—a steampunk-apocalypse game realm—granted him an extraordinary power: Deep Sea Affinity. The ancient creatures beneath the waves instantly recognized him as one of their own. Though bearing deep-sea heritage, Chen Qi held fast to his humanity. He pursued relentless cultivation and monster-hunting mastery, driving toward legendary renown across the land. His success bred notoriety. The White Dove Times, the era's most influential publication, released a scathing verdict: "A creature born from primordial deep-sea darkness, wielding tentacles to terrorize witches, the solitary Fifth Emperor scheming to conquer the Witch Sea—a madman destined for destruction!" Fabrication. Absolute lies. True, he possessed tentacles, had confronted witches, raised sea dragons, collected passage tolls, and sung a mournful duet with a siren. But descending from an ancient god? That was fiction. Chen Qi remained steadfast in his authentic purpose—a dedicated, honorable monster hunter. His blade made the answer clear when it fell upon the incoming fleet, eradicating the vessels and silencing the slander once and for all.
