Chen Shi wiped the water from his face, watching the departing ship.
The speed of the Great Ming Treasure Ship was astonishing; at this rate, it wouldn't be long before it reached the mouth of the Dejiang River and sailed into the vast darkness, entering unknown waters.
Could this ship really carry the True King's body across the boundless dark seas and find the ancestral Huaxia Divine Continent?
Could the soldiers on the ship handle the various dangers of the sea?
Did they know the way home?
But, Great Ming had not had contact with the West Bull New Continent for over six thousand years.
What had happened to Great Ming?
Did it still exist?
Or had it, like other dynasties recorded in history, decayed and vanished into smoke?
