Forty years had passed.
The landscape of the [Desire Abyss] had changed little.
Its inhabitants, on the other hand, had changed enormously.
When An Kai returned, he clearly sensed that the overall strength and numbers of the [Desire Abyss]'s inhabitants had risen by at least two tiers compared to forty years ago.
Knowing Wayne was in the [Desire Abyss] put An Kai at ease.
Even in his absence, Wayne could keep the [Desire Abyss] running smoothly.

He returned to Goodness Home in the [Desire Abyss].
Apart from Wayne,
