Wang Tao had not understood what caused the high temperatures before. He had thought it was a natural disaster similar to Corrosive Acid Rain, except Corrosive Acid Rain fell from the sky while the high temperatures rose from underground...
As for why the seawater within the rift was not greatly affected by the high temperatures, Wang Tao had considered all sorts of possibilities before, only to find that none of them were right. He was not the type to obsess over a problem. If he could not figure something out, he stopped thinking about it, so he had never known the answer.
But now, the cause of the high temperatures could basically be confirmed—the underground contained Seventh Order Destruction Grade monsters, and the heat was brought about by their Destruction Domain: Great Drought. The law of this Great Drought was fire.
Now that they knew the true cause of the high temperatures, could they infer that the seawater inside the rift had not evaporated because it contained the law of water?
Perhaps water and fire countered each other, and their powers were evenly matched, which was why neither affected the other?
Although Wang Tao had no direct evidence, there were many Calamity Grade Water Element sea beasts in the rift, while no other bodies of water had monsters of that level. Therefore, Wang Tao guessed that the water in the rift contained the law of water. The drought could easily evaporate ordinary water, but evaporating water imbued with the law of water might not be so easy.
If that was true, then many of Wang Tao's doubts were immediately resolved.
But at the same time, a thought echoed in Wang Tao's mind—could he use the law of water to hunt the Fire God? Wang Tao did not know whether there
