Fully Refined

 Alex returned to the Southern Continent once the teleportation formation began letting people travel across the world once again.

He needed to prepare the continent for both the arrival and departure of many of their figures.

Ronron and the rest had not yet returned, choosing to remain behind for a while longer for young Emily to live her life in peace.

Once coming back, Alex was swarmed with work once again, work which he had been neglecting for quite a while now.

It was nearly 2 weeks before Alex could focus on his own personal tasks such as cultivation and making pills. He also had to go visit the Sundering Sanctum to take away the playground. Any day now, it would be done.
