"Ruins? I'm well aware of that."
Li Fan was a regular visitor to the depths of the Misthaven Ocean.
He was no stranger to the ruins scattered across the seafloor of the Misthaven Ocean.
"You mean... these ruins... belong to that lost civilization?" Li Fan asked.
Zhao Erbao shook his head, "No, no, no, these ruins are native to the Misthaven Ocean..."
"But that's not quite right..."
Zhao Erbao scratched his head and gestured in a circle, "The place that is now the Misthaven Ocean used to not be a sea."
Li Fan was slightly taken aback.
He heard Zhao Erbao continue, "This place used to be a piece of land. But one day..."
"It was suddenly submerged by a sea."
"The ruins at the bottom of the Misthaven Ocean belonged to the civilizations that were originally on land."
"Submerged by the sea…" Images from past visits to the ocean floor surfaced in Li Fan's mind.
Da Xuan was at the exit, in a deep abyss the bottom of the sea.
