"You're planning to make a move against that Black Hand now? That could work..."
At the border between the Eastern and Western Continents, within the God-Demon Graveyard, a figure stood between illusion and reality. His gaze fell toward the Lesser Six Paths. With a wave of his hand, he tore open the Void, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Gate appeared. One of its pitch-black gates rapidly enlarged.
A Sea of Blood emerged, its monstrous waves reaching the heavens as white bones drifted and tormented souls struggled. It was a desolate, miserable world. This was part of the Lesser Six Paths' Sea of Blood, containing countless vengeful souls. A million living souls within had been personally slaughtered by the legendary Black Hand, and they shared immense karmic ties with him.
The so-called Black Hand was an absolute powerhouse on the Heavenly Dao's side. Skilled at laying schemes and possessing the potential to reach the Heaven-Defying Rank, he was a grave threat. Yan Kuan, Dugu Baitian, and the others all wanted him dead, but they needed an opportunity. Sending Chen Nan and the others into the Past to strike was one possible method.
Many people around Chen Nan had karmic ties to that Black Hand. Bound by such entanglements, they could return to the Past, choose the moment when he was at his weakest, deepen and reinforce that weakness, and subtly alter his current fate.
"Dugu Baitian really is someone to be feared!"
In a special corner of time and space within the Human Realm, Yan Kuan "saw" the disturbance in the Sea of Blood. With a wave of his hand, he activated the rest of his arrangements. Dragonling, Dongfang Fenghuang, and Little Phoenix were all sent into Chen Nan's Inner World to break through the time-space tunnel and exert their influence.
