Ruins is a legendary place.
According to "Liezi·Tang Wen": East of Bohai, countless miles away, there is a great chasm, truly an abyss without a bottom, named Ruins. The waters of the Eight Extremes and the flow of the Heavenly River all pour into it, yet it neither increases nor decreases.
No wonder Li Yan would think of this.
Even though this place might not necessarily be billions of miles east of Bohai, this bottomless abyss that gathers countless waters yet remains neither full nor empty, coupled with the environment revealing bones of countless ancient creatures and an archaic aura, seems to perfectly match the symbol of "Ruins."
Some things recorded in ancient texts always come with some exaggeration or inaccurate locations.
This may very well be the Ruins recorded by the ancients!
The Royal Fleet might have come here because they discovered something, and didn't disclose it to him.
