Explanation

A month later, more than a dozen large ships carried members from two sects and the residents of Primordial Water Island, embarking on their journey to the Sea Peak City.

The once bustling Primordial Water Island quickly turned desolate, with only a handful of remaining residents, as the majority had chosen to leave.

This might be the only opportunity for Primordial Water Island's residents to migrate to another maritime region and gain official residency rights.

Otherwise, given the strength of Primordial Water Island's inhabitants, obtaining residency in other coastal cities would be nearly impossible, as most bustling cities within the Thousand Feathers Alliance were already overcrowded.

By migrating alongside the Primordial Sword Sect, they essentially marked themselves with the Primordial Sword Sect's imprint. The sect would also allocate housing for them in the new location, ensuring their livelihoods.
