In this world, it doesn't have to be seen with one's own eyes to count as an encounter.
The calamities and omens remaining in the Netherworld King's Spark were all the handiwork of the "former Netherworld King". Earlier, in the cemetery, when Gu Shen borrowed Bai Shu's [Reverse Flow] to revoke the refining of the spark, he had been trying to find a way to remove these calamities…
Now, he no longer needed to search.
The former Netherworld King descended, through the residual calamities in the spark, in the form of Spirit!
The originally snow‑white void was half‑stained black the instant the Netherworld King's consciousness arrived—
Moreover, this Netherworld King's mental state was extremely unstable; a dangerous aura surged from his entire being!
Gu Shen's spiritual vigilance was raised to the extreme!
