Angel speculated as such because Sky Mechanical City had a history of such acts. Initially, they sacrificed a large number of apprentices to upgrade the Purification Garden.
But was this the case again?
Angel thought carefully and felt something might be wrong.
After all, sending apprentices into the Ghost’s Box of Reincarnation for exploration was futile. Even if the apprentices discovered useful information, could they really escape from the Box of Reincarnation?
To escape the Box of Reincarnation, one must undergo at least twenty reincarnations. In these worlds of reincarnation, ordinary ghostly beings cluster, special ghostly entities are not uncommon, and one might even encounter fallen deities of legend.
Frost, a legendary Mysterious Hunter, nearly met his end in the Box of Reincarnation.
Could an apprentice survive? It was nearly impossible.
Since apprentices couldn’t escape the Box of Reincarnation, they naturally couldn’t convey any useful information.
After negating his own speculation, Angel fell into deeper confusion… Perhaps his initial guess was incorrect, or maybe this place wasn’t the Box of Reincarnation?
As Angel was lost in thought, he suddenly felt someone yank his hair.
Looking up, he saw Tree Spirit retracting his hand from above his head.
Before Angel could question why Tree Spirit pulled his hair, he preemptively said, “Seeing you so deep in thought, you must have realized something, right?”
With Tree Spirit taking the initiative and both Sanders and Rhine looking at him, Angel felt it inappropriate to say anything else: “Yes, I have made some discoveries.”
Under the collective gaze of those around, Angel simply recounted the tale of the Box of Reincarnation.
Sanders, aware of this matter, nodded in realization when Angel pointed out the red scarf’s location on the ‘Doomsday Heavenly Eye’: “Perhaps your speculation is correct; this indeed might be within the Box of Reincarnation.”
Concluding his remark, Sanders shared Frost’s story with the others, who looked on in confusion.
After hearing the entire account, Rhine expressed some emotion: “I’ve heard you mention it before but never imagined such a tale was intertwined with this place…”
Rhine felt a rare touch of warmth from this friendly legendary and mused that he might have visited Black Castle had he known of this story earlier.
Tree Spirit, indifferent to Frost’s tale due to his lengthy life and countless witnessed legendary rises, was rather moved by the mention of the “Ghost’s Box of Reincarnation” creator, Ivo Shpratt, reflecting: “So, the alchemical prodigy from the millennium-old Research Institute didn’t truly perish.”
They continued discussing the Box of Reincarnation and inquired about Angel’s detailed knowledge of these tales. Angel, maintaining his previous approach with Sky Mechanical City, merely mentioned that Frost had shared this information with him.
“If we follow Angel’s reasoning, many pieces do fit together. For instance, the apocalyptic scenes depicted do show terrifying ghosts, aligning with the usual characteristics of the Box of Reincarnation,” pondered Tree Spirit. “However, why would these apprentices appear here? Could it be Sky Mechanical City’s covert influence? But that doesn’t seem right; apprentices can’t do much.”
Tree Spirit muttered, evidently considering the same aspects Angel had previously pondered.
At this moment, Angel remained silent, having shared all he knew apart from his personal secret about entering the Ghost’s Box of Reincarnation. He hoped this matter wouldn’t require his worry for now. Yet, given Totoro’s implication of his involvement, Angel couldn’t completely detach himself.
After some discussion, the group still couldn’t reach any substantial conclusions.
Rhine concluded his assessment, saying to Maya, “The likelihood of the doomsday matter being linked to the Ghost’s Box of Reincarnation is high. It probably doesn’t have much to do with the Southern Region, so you can set aside your worries for now.”
Maya responded, “What about those apprentices then…”
“At tomorrow’s exchange meeting, you can make it public for them to decide. However, do not share Angel’s hypothesis about the Ghost’s Box of Reincarnation with anyone else today.”
Maya nodded in agreement. Since Rhine had spoken, she naturally intended to comply.
“This issue seems significant, but it’s unlikely to affect us. However, just to be cautious, later I’ll have Horus inform the apprentices staying in Sky Mechanical City to avoid accepting any missions issued by the city and to focus on their cultivation instead.”
With that, the topic was temporarily put to rest. Yet everyone knew it was just a momentary pause; the subject would linger in their minds until the prophecy began to unfold in the real world, inevitably resurfacing then.
“Let’s set aside the matter of the vision of doomsday. Was there anything else of note from the exchange day? Did you notice anything about Angel?” asked Rhine, deliberately avoiding mentioning the Bud Cult as Totoro was present.
Understanding Rhine’s implication, Maya showed a hint of regret and shook her head, “I didn’t foresee anything related to Angel.”
Her response slightly dampened the atmosphere.
Seeing Maya’s somewhat apologetic look, Rhine finally sighed, “It’s alright. After all, what one sees during Star Observing Day is beyond our control. So… tell me about the other things.”
Maya replied, “I didn’t see anything about the ruins either. However, Tuvalu saw some related fragments, and I’ve received some information from him.”
Upon hearing the topic, Rhine’s eyes, which had been slightly dim, immediately brightened. Whether it was about Angel or the ruins, both were closely related to the Savage Grottoes. Naturally, it was his top priority.
Maya didn’t hesitate to relay the information Tuvalu had seen from beginning to end.
In summary, the key piece of information Tuvalu had seen was about spatial magic materials.
Rhine’s expression became slightly somber, knowing that spatial magic materials signified much. He didn’t yet know the specifics within the ruins, but he was aware that the Nightmare Plane creatures had invaded and were collecting spatial magic materials. This was significantly meaningful.
The recent transformation of the Eternal Night Kingdom was still vivid in his memory.
If the Nightmare Plane creatures were collecting spatial magic materials to connect a passage to their plane and bring down the dome, then the Paramjit Plateau might soon follow in the footsteps of the Eternal Night Kingdom.
For Rhine, this news was certainly not good.
However, Rhine didn’t show his worry because the future fragment Tuvalu saw was too brief to glean more information. The specifics still needed further confirmation. If the situation truly became uncontrollable, other measures, even contingencies, must be considered.
Rhine didn’t voice his inner Anxiety, but Tree Spirit faintly sensed the change in the atmosphere around Rhine.
Sanders and Tree Spirit exchanged a glance, tacitly choosing to remain silent.
“I understand the matter now, I’ll investigate it later. Let’s continue discussing other things,” Rhine said in a deep tone, not dwelling on the news, but instead redirecting the conversation back to Maya.
