The sky was clear.
Clouds and rosy hues filled the heavens, lending the world a crystalline brightness after a great annihilation and torrential storm.
The vast stretch of the East Sea, whose waters had originally been evaporated to a depth of over a hundred meters, had been absorbed and stored by the Tenth Continent—the Nursery. In the sky, it had been flooded into a huge concave pond.
The new East Sea was now in the Nursery in the sky.
At that moment, the entire Nursery's drainage system resembled a giant teapot. From the imposing water taps in the corners on all sides, enormous white streams gushed forth, surging toward the surrounding seas.
Splash!
Four waterfalls that blotted out the sky suddenly poured down from the heavens. The gale howled around them, and even bodies of Ember were mixed into the waterfalls and fell to the earth.
The entire East Sea had been a battlefield. Beneath the seabed, the bones were charred black, and wreckage lay everywhere.
Although the forces under their command had made few moves, the Disaster-Bringer and the Four Great Divine Beasts had all suffered heavy casualties. The bodies, as well as the Ember that had been born, were reclaimed by their respective factions.
"Over there!"
"There are still people over there."
"These people really don't value their lives. They actually dared to come watch the battle."
"What? You're still alive? You were clever enough to hide far away and watch the battle? You hopped across the shockwaves of attack after attack? You're already dead. You're already Ember. I've been commissioned by your family to collect your body."
Arks were everywhere, dealing with the aftermath of the battlefield and treating the wounded.
Before anyone noticed, Nine Sheaves had already left, once again driving Xian back to the capital.
