Nowadays, human beings do not have the concept of plant protection and animal protection, and the extinction policy of wild animals and plants that can threaten human life is generally adopted in various places. Therefore, the cannibal flowers on the island of cannibal flowers have become a historical story in books, which is quite regrettable for those who come after them.

However, in addition to the man-eating flowers on the sea, there are countless strange existences.

Therefore, in the one hundred and sixtieth year of the Divine Age, that is, the fifth year when Bai Yi and others opened the prelude to the Age of Discovery, a human fleet encountered a sea monster more than a thousand kilometers north of Moon Island.

The creature was sixty or seventy meters in size from head to tail, covered with tentacles and spikes, like a Cthulhu-style deep-sea monster. The monster feeds on whales in the deep sea, so it may have mistaken the ship as a whale floating on the surface, so it launched a surprise attack from underwater.

As you can imagine, this sailing ship of more than 20 meters was directly strangled to pieces by this monster, and most of the people on board also died because of it.

And the reason why all the people on the ship did not die was because after the ship was strangled to pieces by this monster, Liang Tian noticed this monster. Later, he borrowed the statues on the ship and the emblems worn by the crew.

Then, with the power of almost omnipotent faith, Liang Tian directly controlled this huge thing. Even though this monster was the largest of all the creatures Liang Tian had ever seen. But the intelligence of this monster is extremely low, worse than a well-trained police dog.

This allowed the near-omnipotent power of faith to quickly take control of the monster's brain, and then sent the monster to sink into the depths of the ocean again. So part of the ship's crew was saved, after all, they were a fleet, there were three ships in total. The flagship was destroyed by the unknown monster, but there were two other ships.

Because of this, this matter has spread rapidly. The news of the existence of terrifying sea monsters in the sea has been known to many people. Then there was also a sensation, and some people even started looking for sea monsters specifically afterwards.

Because they feel that this may be some kind of test of the true God, and that there may be an opportunity for blessing hidden in it. But these whimsical guys naturally end up with nothing.

The monster was controlled by Liang Tian, and Liang Tian, who still had a strong curiosity about the unknown, naturally had to figure out this monster first. So he studied the monster and realized that the creature was a natural creation. It's not a man-made aberration.

"But it's nice to have such a family now, and its presence has definitely given me a stronger influence on the ocean. ”

Although Liang Tian had creations similar to the water element in his hands, all those creations added up to only twenty-three. With such numbers, even if they are born with extraordinary powers and can increase over time, their numbers make it impossible for them to influence all the oceans.

All of these creations add up to affect a certain body of water. So on the sea, he has far less power than on land.

So in order not to have to end up in everything on the ocean, the more dependents like this giant sea monster are naturally the better. So after strengthening the first sea monster he controlled from the inside out, he also gave the monster a name - Leviathan.

Then he drove the behemoth, which had grown to eighty meters in size after being strengthened by him, to search for other people of his kind in the deep sea. I want to use this to control as many sea monsters as possible.

In this way, even if he encounters some kind of unexpected situation on the ocean, he can mobilize enough power at the first time.

It's just that all this is naturally unknown to the outside world, so no one knows what kind of wind and waves are set off in the deep sea at this time.

Driven by wealth, glory and faith, the great voyage is still going on. And under the influence of survivorship bias, it has become more and more vigorous.

So in the 161st year of the Divine Age, 880 kilometers southeast of Moon Island, people were able to discover an unprecedented giant island.

The island is huge, 500 kilometers from east to west and 1,000 kilometers from north to south. And this area is already much larger than the territory controlled by Ortunger, whose total population has exceeded 1.5 million.

So when the island was first discovered, the navigator Ruble thought they had discovered a new continent. Later, their fleet drove the ships around the island, only to realize that it was not a new continent, but a giant island.

This led the already blessed navigator Ruble to name the island "East Giant Island", that is, the giant island located in the east. The name can be said to be the dregs of the soil.

Therefore, after the news spread, Bell, as the leader of the church, personally gave the island a new name - St. Dong Island.

The sacred island of the East. She felt that the island was a colony created for them by the great and true God, hence the name. And because of this name, the Church organized a huge fleet of more than 30 ocean-going sailing ships with a total crew of 2,100 people to explore the entire island.

After three months of exploration, it was discovered that the island was home to not only several gold mines, but also copper, iron and gem mines. Moreover, there are a large number of plains along the border of the island, so if not all of them are cultivated, but only a third, it is enough to house millions of people.

When the news came back, St. Dong Island immediately became an irreplaceable treasure island in the eyes of the Church.

So in the future, the church also issued a series of policies specifically for St. East Island. First of all, the gold mining was carried out by the Church, and the gold mines that were easy to open were first controlled by themselves, and those that were not easy to mine were sold to the private sector through auctions.

If you get the right to mine gold, you can organize your own people to mine gold on St. East Island, but 10% of the income from the mines must still be handed over to the church. This is a tithe that must be paid.

After that, the church will not be interfering. For gold mining, this is definitely a huge return.

Therefore, when the gold mining rights were put up for auction, the gold mining rights of a total of three gold mines were awarded to three well-established non-governmental organizations.

Then, in order to recover the cost as soon as possible, the non-governmental organizations began to cooperate with the church to hype, adding fuel to the description of Shengdong Island as a treasure island full of gold.

Naturally, the gold rush kicked off shortly afterward.
