The tide washes over the beach. Along the Southern Continent coast, stretching hundreds of kilometers, the coastline is picturesque and sparsely populated, with sand as white and delicate as flour.
From here, one can gaze upon a towering, majestic statue that stands above the nearshore waters.
This is the Divine Statue erected by the Storm Church.
A man clad in a robe and holding a trident, his half-bare body radiating an aura of solemnity and sanctity like a beacon.
It is said that in the waters near the Ice Sea, if a night vessel loses its way and sees this Divine Statue, it need only pray devoutly to receive guidance from the God... yet no one has received divine guidance in recent years.
The god revered in the Holy City seems to have disappeared.
As night falls, Yuanting Island in the Southern Continent is brightly lit.
Since the collapse of Sangzhou Cave, this has become the nearest southern point to the Ice Sea and the closest vantage point to view the Storm God Statue.
