Activating the Hidden Pawn

Boundless Sea and Star Sea intersected; the Heavenly River scattered.

After a period of back-and-forth struggle, Jellyfish Palace's Heavenly Water Boundary-Splitting Formation had become increasingly precarious. The great river that had once circled the ancestral court and surged without cease was gradually showing signs of failing.
