Padlin New Navigation Island, Dock No. 24.
"Woo woo…"
As an old steamship, spewing gray-black Origin Energy Steam, docked.
The harbor came to life.
Residents from the nearby oceanic islands, who sold local specialties, squeezed onto the dock, peddling snacks, local tobacco, and trinkets like authentic totem accessories to the disembarking passengers in the not-so-fluent Cerion language.
Most of these vendors of local produce were children.
And the vast majority of them did not possess a Transcendent Sequence.
On one hand, this was because here in Padlin New Navigation Island, the price of Transcendent Sequence Seeds was inherently high.
On the other hand, these dark-skinned, shorter children were indigenous residents of the Transcendent Ocean.
It was very difficult for them to be admitted to the Transcendent Academy on Padlin New Navigation Island and to be assessed for Transcendent Talent and to obtain a Transcendent Sequence.
