"Domain Lord."
"Don't you think there's something different about this continent compared to the others?"
Chen Fan propped his chin on one hand and sank into thought. Now that Xuan Ba mentioned it, there did seem to be something different. Surely other continents didn't experience "ultimate calamities" as frequently as the Eternal Night Continent did?
Especially that "twin ghosts at the door" Calamity they had encountered after leaving the Extreme-Cold Grotto.
That Calamity had enveloped his continent alone.
It almost seemed targeted.
Apart from that.
Everything else seemed the same, didn't it?
"Domain Lord."
Xuan Ba took a deep breath before saying with utmost seriousness, "What I mean is, if possible, let's run. Abandon this continent and find another one where we can start over!"
"The King once told me."
"Only those brave enough to cut their losses can achieve true victory!"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"That's definitely not happening. This isn't cutting your losses. This is flipping the whole table."
"And so far, nothing you've said has given me a concrete sense of the danger behind the name Cursed Continent. Do you have anything more tangible?"
"No."
"I don't know that much about the Cursed Continent. All I know is that it's special, and that a lot of terrible things have happened there. That's enough to prove that more terrible things will happen there in the future."
"For example."
"Say you go outside to pee, Domain Lord. Lots of people have peed on the patch of ground to the left, but nobody has ever peed on the one to the right."
"Which side would you choose?"
"You'd definitely go left, right?"
"Right. I'm a bit of a clean freak," Chen Fan said quietly.
Jiu Wu nodded in wholehearted agreement. "Me too. Not much of one, but a little."
