After the Four Islands affair, Durin was considering whether to pay a visit to Zhen Nan Pass—for after all, there were still no follow-up clues regarding Director Sun's rational avatar, and Durin contemplated preparing to ambush the Red War God.
Among the three passes and four seas, Puppet Bone was no longer influential. The entire Four Islands had turned into a chaotic mess.

According to the navy, in the past few days, Puppet Bone had killed more of their own people than the Changtang Navy did in an entire year, and every day there were cries of death.
