"Domain Lord."
"Didn't you feel that this continent was somewhat different from the others?"
"..."
Chen Fan rested his chin on one hand and fell into deep thought. Now that Xuan Ba mentioned it, it did seem somewhat different. Other continents probably had not experienced "Ultimate Calamities" as frequently as Eternal Night Continent, had they?
Especially the "Twin Ghosts at the Door" calamity he had encountered after leaving the Extreme-Cold Grotto.
That calamity had covered an entire continent by itself.
It was almost as though it had been targeting him.
Other than that.
Everything else seemed the same, didn't it?
"Domain Lord."
Xuan Ba took a deep breath before saying with utmost solemnity, "What I mean is, if possible, let's run. Abandon this continent and find another one to rise again!"
"The King once told me."
"Only those brave enough to cut their losses can welcome true victory!"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"That definitely won't work. That isn't cutting losses—you're flipping the whole table."
"And so far, I haven't felt any concrete danger behind the words 'Cursed Continent' from what you've said. Do you have anything more intuitive?"
"No."
"I don't know much about the Cursed Continent either. I only know that it is very special, and that many terrible things have happened on it. That is enough to prove that even more terrible things will happen on the Cursed Continent in the future."
"Give me an example."
"Domain Lord, say you need to go outside to take a piss. The open ground on the left has been pissed on by lots of people, while the open ground on the right has never been used by anyone."
"Which side would you choose?"
"You'd definitely choose the left, right?"
"The right. I'm a bit of a clean freak," Chen Fan
