Deep in the Gray Fog Sea.
The world's finality suddenly stopped, and the cracks throughout the world disappeared.
Three figures emerged from the depths of the layers, their faces filled with terror and shock, as though they had witnessed something unbelievable.
"The 'Angel' disappeared-" Boss's voice trembled slightly. "Just-disappeared like that?"
"What happened?" The Shadow of the Great Serpent's eyes were also filled with confusion.
"Lao Lin must have succeeded-" Supreme Heaven murmured, looking toward the Lookout and the deck as he spoke.
Kuai Hongji and Mao Feiyang had already disappeared at some unknown point.
"It looks like-he really did 'succeed'-"
"Succeeded?" Boss looked around, her boundless perception sweeping outward, even passing through a small portion of the dimensions and layers, yet she never sensed the slightest trace of Lin Yi. "Where's Lin Yi?"
"If he succeeded, why hasn't he come back?"
"Perhaps-he can never come back-" Supreme Heaven said slowly.
Boss clenched her teeth, her cheeks shifting slightly.
Like a streak of light through a rift in the heavens, she descended from the void and landed beside Wei Liang on the Black Mast, silently looking down at him.
"Uncle Liangzi-"
"Where's Lin Yi?"
Wei Liang gently tugged the brim of his Baseball Cap. "He's-still alive, probably."
"I'm asking where he is!" Boss seized Wei Liang by the collar and hauled him off the Black Mast, glaring fiercely into his eyes through the loose, messy hair over his forehead.
"He's always been here."
"All these countless years, he's always been here. Just now, didn't you see him too-see what the 'Angel' looked like?"
"Wh-what are you saying-?!" Li Huiyuan sat up beneath the Black Mast, staring fixedly at Wei Liang. "Liang Liangzi, what did you mean just now? What exactly are you talking about?"
"Boss? What exactly did you see-?"
