"At last, they'd managed to somewhat reconcile their relationship. Tomie, who understood nothing, was actually the best at this sort of thing."
As he watched the three women chatting happily in Tomie's Japanese-style wooden house, Zhang Chen's mind instead recalled Wang Yizhi wearing that gray mask in the core region of the Dark Realm. Wang Yizhi in that form had made even Zhang Chen in True Ghost form sense a hidden danger.
"No matter what your stance is, as long as Azathoth is killed, everything will settle and come to an end."
Zhang Chen did not remain in the room with the three women. After preparing some food, he left the villa alone and wandered through the Ghoul Stomach World, experiencing this domain that belonged to him alone.
The Ghoul Stomach World was still in its developmental stage. As Bodhi Patriarch had said, it would take at least a hundred years before its world system and core became relatively stable. Before then, rashly dragging powerful beings inside might cause the rules to collapse and the core to shatter, resulting in Zhang Chen's complete death.
"The areas most likely to develop at present are 'world power' and the 'True Ghost phantom' that emerged not long ago. Although, judging from the current situation, Azathoth's invasion of the entire Zero Realm will still wait a little longer, it definitely won't be as long as ten years. There will surely be some movement within five years."
When Zhang Chen reached a stretch of rocky wasteland, he suddenly stopped. In his heart, he connected "world power" and the "True Ghost phantom."
"When I fought Yu Ming with everything I had, I could clearly sense the ghost shadow's effect. But whenever I tried to control it myself, I was never able to precisely grasp its form.
