Later that same day, several hours later.
At extreme speed, the [Ice Erosion Cold Boat] was finally about to pass through the sea region where the [Golden Mist Continent] lay.
Though that area was called an offshore region by the locals of the [Golden Mist Continent], to outsiders, it actually belonged to the [Nearshore Area] of the [Golden Mist Continent] and the various surrounding islands and continents.
As for how this region came to be classified by outsiders as the [Nearshore Area] of the surrounding landmasses?

When people divided up maritime regions, they generally did so according to whether the rules were the same, rather than based purely on size or area.
Any land that existed within the same sea region.
Whether it was a vast continental landmass or a relatively small island.
As long as it truly existed within it.
Then the sea region that contained it was its [Nearshore Area].
Even if it lay at the very center of the sea region.
With nothing but boundless seawater all around, no other land visible at all, and an enormous distance of hundreds of millions of li from the edge of the sea region, it was still so.
At this moment.
In order to broaden everyone's horizons.
As they drew nearer, the [Ice Erosion Cold Boat] slowly descended, allowing the people aboard to see the true state of the sea below more clearly.
