「Five days later...」
On an island in the Vast Sea Divine Palace, Shangguan Yue sat on a reef by the shore, her arms wrapped around her knees. Her eyes, clear as autumn pools, watched the distant silhouette of the young man operating the Profound Vessel. She let out a long sigh and said, "I knew you would leave one day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon…"
Her feelings for Qin Ya ran deep, but it wasn't the romantic love others might have assumed. It was more of a reliance, a feeling so warm and comforting, just like when her father used to hold her and carry her everywhere as a child.
Suddenly, the Profound Vessel in the distance burst with a flash of light.
A pale blue curtain of light enveloped the Profound Vessel. Qin Ya stood at the bow, his expression solemn. His hands moved in a blur, True Essence surging as he wove one spell after another.
"It's done."
