In just one night, the surrounding dark energy had diminished significantly.
Even Ethan Smith was a bit shocked by the speed of this change.
Thankfully, by early the next morning, the dark energy in the area had intensified again, making it less likely to draw attention.
"No wonder this is the North Plain," Ethan said with a sigh.
Just then, he froze, as if something struck him.
"The dark energy of the North Plain… Why is it so terrifying?" Ethan muttered to himself.
*His mind couldn't help but remember the words spoken by Forrest Middleton.*
*At the start of the Great Upheaval, dark energy would inevitably dissipate, suffering a strong blow.*
*And yet, the North Plain remained entirely unaffected. So, was the North Plain actually an ancient battlefield or the burial ground of a formidable cultivator?*
*Besides these two possibilities, what else could escape such an upheaval's impact?*
At this thought, Ethan lowered his head to look at the ground.
