In the vast, surging waters of the South Sea, countless islands lay scattered like stars across a chessboard. The largest comprised four archipelagos and thirteen sea isles, collectively known as the "Four Islands and Thirteen Isles." The four archipelagos were:
The Divine Wrath Archipelago, the Divine Prison Archipelago, the Divine Pasture Archipelago, and the Divine Tree Archipelago.
The thirteen isles were:
Shocking Waves Isle, Turbulent Currents Isle, Nine Wells Isle, Flame Isle, Mulberry Sunset Isle, South Ba Isle, Central Mountain Isle, Silverlight Isle, the three isles of Wave-Subduing Continent, Hidden Wave Isle, and Resting Wave Isle, as well as Drifting Blossoms Isle and Cloud Sun Isle.
These Four Islands and Thirteen Isles stretched west, north, and northeast from the South Sea Dragon Domain. Powerful divine beings and spirit creatures lived there, building stockades and guarding forests, stemming breakers and stirring waves, together protecting the divine dragons' abode within the domain. If Wave Mother Mountain southeast of the Dragon Domain and the Dragon Clan's newly opened territory, "God's Field," southeast of that mountain were included, all the islands under the South Sea Dragon Domain formed the shape of a great bell, its head in the southeast and its tail in the northwest. Wave Mother Mountain and God's Field at the southeastern tip formed the bell's handle, while the South Sea Dragon Domain formed its crown. Below it, the reefs of the Divine Wrath Archipelago curved around to the southwest and northeast. Eight hundred li farther northwest lay Startling Waves Isle and Turbulent Currents Isle, and another eight hundred li below them lay Nine Wells Isle. Five hundred li west-northwest of Nine Wells Isle stood Flame Isle, an immortal isle of the South Sea famed for its Fireglow Mice and fire-washed cloth.
