Williams O'Brien's description was somewhat abstract.
Yet Zong Shen somehow understood it.
Positive and negative were like the two sides of a sheet of paper.
The front was covered in all kinds of lines and patterns.
Because the paper had limited thickness, even if the back had not been drawn or painted on, the reversed lines could still faintly be seen.
One could regard the lines on the back as reflections of those on the front, or treat them as an independent existence.
If, at a certain moment, the paper serving as the medium disappeared.
Positive and negative would briefly overlap.
Their relationship of mutual dependence—or reference—would be thrown into complete disorder.
Those lines and patterns would also become intertwined with positive and negative.
As Zong Shen pondered this matter.
What surfaced in his mind was the sight of those negative entities flying about while trailing afterimages.
In truth, Williams O'Brien had not lied.
These negative entities were both powerful and frail.
They were far from truly powerful.
Negative annihilation was indeed overbearing, but outside was not a mana-poor region where magic was repelled.
In the outside world, mana was the dominant power.
Without the rejection and shielding of mana provided by the [Divine Shell Rock], and without the continuous replenishment of negative power from the [Negative Magic Fluid].

Only the [Negative Magic Fluid] could be effectively used in the outside world.
However, if the negative entities were cultivated, there might be new
