Dawn's faint light broke, yet wild mist still floated between heaven and earth.
Upon a reef island, the roaring churn of the seawater was drowned out by the crisp, delicate rustle of countless beating wings.
The few scattered rocks and the sea's surface were covered with enormous wild locusts, their abdomens pumping and their tail tips raised.
Then tiny spirit eggs, delicate and crystalline, carrying a faint spiritual glow, fell one after another and sank toward the seabed.
At last, even the faint light vanished.
