Chapter 570: Formation of Life (1/2)

When Xue Wei and Lan returned to the path leading back into the desert, they found that the surroundings had changed.

While no living plants were present, most of the sand that had been whirling around previously had vanished, and in its place, a dry and cracked ground had been revealed.

Lan and Xue Wei noticed the change right away, and they could not help but feel that something had changed after their visit to the forgotten city, but they did not know what this change meant yet.

The two did not have much vigilance as they went towards the forgotten city, but on their return trip, they were on high alert. They could sense that the previous manipulation of their emotions had vanished, and at the same time, they also noticed how the previous sandy ground had become solid dry soil.

It was as if all the sand had flown away or, in some other way, vanished without a trace.

However, both Xue Wei and Lan were reasonable people, they knew very well that such a phenomenon should not have happened, as the sand had no place to disappear to.

”This path looks exactly the same as the previous one, and the location is also the same, but something seems off.”

Xue Wei was the first to comment on the pathway they were walking down. Although logic told him that they were walking back the same way as they had arrived, something kept nagging at him, telling him that things were not that simple.

Lan also had a frown on his face. While he could not pinpoint what the difference was, he too felt that something was wrong.

To be able to trick even his mind was quite an achievement, as he had already unraveled enough strength to once more reach the ranks of a deity, but it seemed to be able to confuse even him.

This kind of feeling was just as disgusting as the previous manipulation with their emotions.

While neither Lan nor Xue Wei were ones who would cover in fear of the unknown, they did not like the feeling of being in the light, while something was lurking in the darkness, trying to manipulate them according to their own wishes.

The further they walked, the more this unreal feeling of something being different appeared.

”If this was in the world of the living, I would have been worried about various monsters appearing from the shadows, but somehow I don't think that is very likely to happen here.”

Xue Wei could not help but comment as they made their way forward. Although the sense of danger was ever present, they both felt somewhat perplexed due to this feeling, as they both knew that the chances of encountering danger from souls or living creatures was not likely, but they could not let go of the feeling that the Ghost Realm itself wished to attack them.
