Immediately afterward, the Demon Empress Soul Spirit quietly dissipated as though merging into the sea mist, continuing her pursuit of the soul beasts that believed in the Sea God.
To the Demon Empress, the discovery of this new continent was far less urgent than hunting down the Sea God's remnants.
