In reality, the sky was overhead and the ground beneath his feet. Ahead stood Wind-Eye Volcano, devoid of flames, stirring the clouds above.
Everything in reality was solid and close, yet it gave Ke Meng a sense of confinement.
Ke Meng suddenly recalled some knowledge belonging to the Evil God. It was Cthulhu's advanced knowledge, but after waking from his dreams, he forgot all of it, unable to bring it back.
The knowledge he suddenly recalled concerned the void. Cthulhu knew about the void, but once Ke Meng returned to reality, that knowledge vanished. Only when Ke Meng used Big-Faced Cat in the void did he recall it.
Cthulhu's understanding of the void resembled Big-Faced Cat's. Strange creatures roamed it, divided into native inhabitants and outsiders.
Here, outsiders referred to wanderers drifting far from their homelands.
