Chapter 78: Exploring Again
The gates leading to the valley shimmered faintly as Yu Sheng stepped across the “border.” In the next instant, bright sunlight filled his eyes. He squinted, gazing into the distance and then looked up at the sky, where scattered clouds drifted lazily.
After that enormous eye, which had covered the sky, disappeared, the place once known as “Night Valley” ended its eternal darkness. However, Yu Sheng hadn’t expected it to still be daylight here—even though, in the real world, it was already night.
Did this place have no day and night cycle? Had the “Dark Angel’s” influence, which caused eternal darkness, now shifted to an eternal day? A few theories swirled in his mind, and he raised his guard, cautiously watching the surroundings.
He had chosen the gate that led him back to the area around the ruined temple. As his eyes took in the scene, he saw that the destruction caused by Entity-Hunger’s rampage was still very visible. The temple, which had already been in ruins, was now reduced to nothing but scattered bricks, with not a single wall left standing. The barren land around the temple looked as if it had been repeatedly “plowed,” deep trenches stretching from the ruins to the horizon. The forest that once stood was reduced to mere stumps and shattered remnants, while the nearby cliffs had been stripped, exposing bare soil.
But besides that… there were no signs of danger.
Yu Sheng frowned, cautiously stepping over trench after trench until he reached a clearing filled with broken bricks.
He remembered this spot well. This was where he had begun the feast—where Entity-Hunger, the first to fall under his “influence,” had opened its monstrous mouth to devour the others. But now, every trace of those entities was gone, and even the bloodstains had vanished, as if they had evaporated.
The valley was eerily quiet, with only the occasional breeze drifting through the basin. Unlike before, the wind was no longer cold, and there was no longer a sickening stench of decay. Compared to the eerie place it had been under the dark shroud, it now held a hint of… tranquility.
If you ignored the trenches, that is.
