"How could this be..."
Staring at that familiar figure flickering in and out of sight, Jiang Mian was filled with confusion:
"Wasn't she dead? How could she be here?"
"Perhaps because of the Other Shore?"
Ye Chenyang fixed his gaze on the distant figure and made a simple deduction:
"When high-tier [Nightmare] Calamities die, they produce a mental storm that is projected directly onto the Other Shore."
"If Oblivion River intends to reclaim the soul fragments within it, it shouldn't be difficult. Those fragments may have inherited the Fierce God's possession mechanism. If they fused with a Calamity..."

With that, she immediately understood why she and Ye Chenyang had circled back.
[Silent Rain Burial] did not possess an ability like a ghost wall, but [Fierce God] did!
Her domain was called [Shadow Path Loop]. Just as its name implied, it was a sealed domain that looped within itself.
The overlap of two top-tier domains had caused what had just happened, effortlessly deceiving their senses and even making them circle back on their own.
If Ye Chenyang had not noticed something was wrong, they would probably have gone around in a huge circle.

He had thought that after the battle in the Underground City, the forces of Oblivion River and Withering would both be left unable to recover from a single setback.
As long as the authorities pressed their advantage, they would be able to sweep across
