A hundred miles away, at the edge of a barren and dangerous land area, a human team on a clandestine march was startled by the anomaly of heaven and earth, halting their steps and solemnly gazing towards the catastrophic spectacle deep in the sea.
The team wasn't large, consisting of both men and women, yet all surprisingly young, though their brows bore a steadiness and weariness beyond their years.
Among them were monks dressed in simple black robes holding peculiar incense burners, women with striking charm and sharp eyes, and youth with cold demeanor and restrained aura. Despite their varied attires, they subtly centered around a woman cradling her pregnant belly and a man with a steady temperament.
The group silently observed the distant scene resembling doomsday, as the sky and sea glowed with crimson, with only the erupting volcano heralding some unknown, massive change.
