The Human Race erupted in celebration.
Meanwhile, strange things were happening in various regions of the Universe Ocean's Three Great Forbidden Lands.

"We split it!"
"Right, equal shares!"

Those nearly twenty Universe Masters had all died silently, losing every trace of life.
It shook every faction.
They were stunned!
Several major battles even broke out over it.
Naturally, the battles were fought over the corpses-or rather, over the
