In the gloomy depths of the sea, the once blurry passage of time gradually became clear.
Giant stone pillars extending from the abyss, standing in the deep sea, seemed like ancient ruins that could be traced back thousands of years, or even longer.

Richard paid no heed to the original markings on the pillar as the mud dispersed, descending further down its length.
Lu Li followed behind Richard, unlike him, Lu Li drew closer to the pillar to examine the markings.
