Splash... splash...
The seawater that had poured back over Dragon Abyss Island had come fiercely and receded just as swiftly.
Following ravines one after another, it swept away mountain rocks and forest trees as it returned to the calm sea.
At times, the tide gently washed over the beach. Once it receded again, fine, soft grains of sand lay spread across the level tidal flats, like a delicate velvet blanket unfurling.
It seemed that everything had calmed down.

Ancient trees with lifespans of thousands of years burned with blazing flames. Even after the waves retreated, they remained unextinguished, and faint arcs of electricity could still be seen crackling across their trunks.
The patches of Spirit Farmland Sang Jinghe had painstakingly arranged were even worse off, their ridges broken and their medicinal herbs flattened to the ground.
Especially when viewed from high altitude, with Xiaqiu Mountain at its center, the thousand-mile expanse of Dragon Abyss Island was filled with jagged boulders and crisscrossing ravines.
