The distant Lighthouse.
The Lighthouse, a King-level Wandering Ship even larger than the Twelve Stars, housed fourteen public research institutes, each with a different focus. Some studied sea beasts, some researched energy, others focused on medicine, and some were still tenaciously exploring space travel...
The sea of stars, an endless journey.
The ship also had two secret "Underwater Research Institutes" that studied certain forbidden subjects and answered only to the First Governor.
Not long ago, the ship's President, the First Governor, gave special approval for a 15th institute,
the "Holy Hall Research Institute."
Its research focus was the Holy Hall Relic they had worked so hard to obtain.
Although Edward was already dead, and his remains were impossible to find even with a Treasure Compass, they were likely devoured by sea creatures and scattered across the Endless Ocean.
But the research could not be abandoned or shelved.
