That thing had previously, from a tricky angle, threatened the Eye of Heavenly Ancestor and blocked my own retreat.
The Cursed Yin Evil God always found circuitous ways to evade my attention and successfully imbued "Guidance" onto me.
Now!
Ought there to be an explanation for holding the shield and being confined to the Ruins?
"This isn't 'Xu Xiaoshou confined to the Ruins', but rather 'Whoever holds the shield will be banished by the Path of Forgetfulness, abandoned'?"
I must say, if interpreted from this angle, the Divine Oracle that the Cursed Yin Evil God conjured up on the fly is too small a price to pay.
He didn't need to confine the inherent Great Path of the Divine Relics, instead focusing on the "shield", exploiting its inherent nature:
The Shattered Shield won't act on its own, let alone know how to resist, and probably isn't proficient in the Path of Forgetfulness—thus, there is a high probability of falling prey without even noticing.
