Only that.
Though the divination had vanished.
The conclusion it had set in stone would not change: the Southeastern Sinking was inevitable.
Lu Qing looked toward the boundless Thunder Sea, its heavenly might stern and awe-inspiring.
Bolts of lightning appeared one after another beneath the Thunder Sea, carrying a force that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth as they descended from the heights of the Nine Heavens.
