Lin Yu and the others returned to the Justice Alliance headquarters and began an in-depth investigation into the appearance of the mysterious Black-robed Man and the abnormal phenomena. Through analyzing and studying various clues, they discovered that these events seemed to be connected to a mysterious organization. This mysterious organization operated in the shadows, carrying out clandestine activities for many years, and no one knew their true motives or strength.
To lift the veil from the mysterious organization, Lin Yu decided to start from the source of those abnormal phenomena. They returned to the ocean region, attempting to find clues left behind by the Black-robed Man. Near the whirlpool, they discovered some strange runes and markings. These runes and markings were somewhat similar to those they had previously seen in the ruins, yet distinctly different.
After some research, Lin Yu and his companions finally deciphered the meaning of these runes. It turned out that the mysterious organization was searching for an ancient power, a power that could shatter the balance between heaven and earth and allow them to control the entire continent. The abnormal phenomena were precisely the side effects triggered during their search for this power.
