The rocky islet had risen with the arrival of Feng Yi, but as he left, it sank back into the deep sea.
The thunderclouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the mist over the sea quickly vanished as well.
The dazzling sunlight once again shone over the sea, and the marine animals that had fled returned.
All was calm once more, with no sign of the recent disturbance.
During the rise and fall of the rocky islet, a foreign nation's underwater listening device had picked up strange low-frequency sound signals from the ocean again.
More than a year had passed since the signal had last been detected.
Last time, people were sent to investigate after detecting the signal, but nothing was found, as deep-sea exploration is extremely limited.
Some speculated that it might be some unknown deep-sea behemoth surfacing to breathe before diving back into the depths.
