Affected by the tide, aberrations were everywhere in the Shan Hai Realm.
Vile beasts were born under the influence of aberrations, while people in turn used vile beasts themselves to create items that could resist aberrations. Over a long period of evolution, the Shan Hai Realm had gradually developed this unique way of survival.
After the initial aberration, over the next half hour or so, the carpet beneath Bai Zhi and the others' feet—which had turned completely black—underwent several more successive aberrations.
