"Gu Shen... you've finally come."
Deep Sea sat on the throne, looking remarkably calm.
As though Gu Shen's arrival was not something worth being surprised by.
"Yes. I've kept you waiting."
Gu Shen stood atop Golden Grain Flower's head, both hands resting on his sword. Towering Underworld fire revolved around him alone, and the vast Fire Source burned an enormous immaculate space into the Dead Sea. That spotless space was still expanding.
Although the Three Continents Alliance Meeting had severed most connections between the Outside World and Deep Sea.
Deep Sea still had many eyes across the Five Continents.
It could see most of what happened beyond the Source High Wall.
Gu Shen's return to Nagano was no trivial matter. Countless people had seen it.
So naturally, it had seen it too.

Though Deep Sea did not know exactly what Gu Shen had done in Nagano.
It could guess.
"I wasn't the only one who came."
Gu Shen raised his Underworld Fire Sword. Behind him, the long-waiting Su Xuan Wood rose from the void burned clean by the Dead Sea, growing wildly beneath the surging Underworld fire!

Deep Sea narrowed its eyes from atop the throne.
It stared intently at that Great Accomplishment Pure Land, and several doubts that had been tangled in its mind finally
