After resting for several hours inside the skeleton's eye socket, the two of them emerged again, preparing to continue searching for a way out.
Once they had gone a suitable distance, they would return here to rest.
For several days, the two of them repeated this cycle—leaving the skeleton to explore outside, then returning when they felt their distance and strength had been nearly exhausted.
Zhong Wan began jokingly calling this skeleton eye socket, with its formation set up inside, the home of the two of them in the Abyss of Sin. Going outside meant leaving home, while returning from outside meant going home.
During the first few days, the two of them encountered several perilous situations. Once, a demon god erupted extremely close by. In his panic, Ye Tian fled behind the nearest dormant demon god, only for that demon god to be awakened as well.
Though they ultimately survived by a narrow stroke of luck, death had truly been only a hair's breadth away.
However, after so many days of exploration, Ye Tian gradually figured out the patterns involved, which meant they no longer had to pin all their hopes on luck.
For example, while exploring, they could try to stay near demon gods that had just erupted.

After being taught a lesson by the Fire of Punishment and the Thunder of Divine Wrath, their strength would be exhausted, and they would need countless more years to gather it again.
Thus, demon gods that had just erupted could be safely assumed not to erupt again anytime soon. They could move somewhat closer to them when choosing their route, which would be safer, without worrying that demon gods nearby would
