WHOOSH—
Unlike the previous transit using a Miniature Wormhole, the Star Lamp's "return" didn't travel through the Dark Cosmos, nor did it open any wormholes or passages.
The starlight shrouding the Dayun merely flickered.

In the blink of an eye, it reappeared, sketched into existence against the starry sky most familiar to Shi Ming. Looking down, a pure blue planet was clearly visible.
The traveler of the Star Sea has returned!
CAW CAW—
Returning to this starry sky, the Three-Eyed Golden Crow was the first to fly to the bow, feeling quite pleased. 'When I first followed Shi Ming from the Endless Ocean, I was merely S-class,' it thought, 'and definitely not one of the top contenders among S-class sea beasts. But now, after a little trip, I've been completely reborn. I'm a Holy Hall Tier expert!'
'Holy Hall Tier! Times have certainly changed!'
'Who wouldn't have to call me "boss" now?'
