After erasing all traces, the White Snake King heaved a sigh of relief.
"This way, it's temporarily safe. The rest is up to your fate," said the White Snake King.
He had done everything he could, and the rest was up to them; he was powerless to help further.
If they were discovered, there was nothing more he could do; they would have to fend for themselves.
Then, the White Snake King sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.
During this time, everything was peaceful, without any anomalies.
The Daqian Kingdom continued to develop and grow stronger, following its usual rhythm.
However, Emperor Xuanwu knew well that this was only temporary; a crisis would arrive sooner or later.
The stronger they became, the stronger the pull from the Mysterious World would be, and one day it would explode, it was just a matter of time.
