I didn't expect Number Four Xuanming to abruptly ask about soul loss, and the Master of Divine Seal's reply was even more thought-provoking.

The Master of Divine Seal was unable to answer the origins of soul loss because he couldn't answer questions related to Doomsday. In other words, there's a clear causative link between the rise of soul loss and "Doomsday." I had always suspected that the souls of soul-loss patients might have been transported to the Doomsday Era, and now this clue seems to support that suspicion to some extent.

After receiving the reply, Number Four Xuanming did not continue to inquire further, and from his demeanor, it was not clear whether he was surprised or had expected this all along. However, since Doomsday-obsessed Number Four Xuanming suddenly brought up the topic of soul loss, it implies that he might have been aware of the intricate connection between soul loss and Doomsday from the beginning.
