—The Sea of the Corpse Realm—
Ships drifted aimlessly.
Countless coffins surfaced from the depths of the corpse sea, carried by unseen tides.
The coffins from the Corpse Sea bore a striking resemblance to those of the Land of the Forgotten—yet, something was different.
It was as if they were missing something.
But no one had ever investigated.
No matter how similar they were, these coffins could never enter the Land of the Forgotten.
Neither coffins nor living beings could set foot there.
Unless one had reached Saint-level, they had no right to enter.
Splash!
A figure emerged from the Corpse Sea.
It was the Grand Minister, her expression shaken.
She felt an unsettling dread deep within her soul.
"The Land of the Forgotten truly isn’t a place for the living… Even leaving it fills me with fear."
She sighed, her clothes tattered from the journey.
Back then, she had only been able to enter because of his power, which had shattered the world’s gate.
Not to mention, she had Heaven’s Sixth Blade’s assistance.
Without that, not even the Immortal Emperor could have stepped into that forbidden land—anyone who entered would have died instantly.
Now that she had returned, re-entering was impossible.
She frowned, looking at her surroundings.
