Proactively Opening the Gate

"If I haven't guessed wrong, the Evil God's power is lurking within these residents, which is why we didn't detect it. That Gate should only be a prototype, or perhaps even just a fissure."

Fang Cheng explained his hypothesis to Isis. This speculation was not baseless; it was an inspiration he derived from his mother's memories.

In his mother's memories, after she perished together with the Evil God, its power split into two parts, entering two rifts to plug them, eventually evolving into the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters and the Undead Kingdom.

Therefore, Fang Cheng guessed that a similar rift might exist in the mine of Centralia Town, with the Evil God's power seeping out from it and affecting the town's residents.

The endless cycle of Centralia Town might just be to prevent the opening of the Gate.

After hearing Fang Cheng's explanation, Isis no longer expressed doubt, but asked, "Then what do you intend to do?"

Fang Cheng hesitated slightly, but finally made up his mind: "Naturally, I'm going to open the Gate."

If the purpose of Centralia Town's endless cycle was truly to prevent the Gate from opening, then to break free from the cycle, the only way was to open it.

Isis said indifferently, "You are playing with fire."

If the Gate were truly opened, a single mishandling could lead to a catastrophe.

Fang Cheng, however, said confidently, "It's fine, I have it under control."

The Gate at the Seabed Rift might have opened naturally; let alone Fang Cheng, even his mother and the native powers of Earth could not close it.

But those Gates forced open could be forcibly shut; Fang Cheng had encountered this many times before.

However, for the sake of safety, he still asked Izanae in his mind to avoid any mishaps.
