There were countless islands in the Endless Ocean.
Among these islands were many island cities of various sizes.
In the eastern portion of the Endless Ocean, there was a small, unknown island. People were scarce here, with a population of 100,000 or so. On the mainland of the Nine States, this would amount to only a small village.
At that moment, on the eastern edge of the island, an old man was wearing a long robe, sitting peacefully on the rocks fishing. He had a plaited bamboo hat on his head, under which his face was sharply angled. He had his eyes closed as if he were dozing off.
"I see you've come here fishing again, Old Xi," called another dark-skinned old man from not far off with a smile. He was getting ready to go out into the ocean to hunt monsters.
