"Sorry, Ethan Zhang, we can't reach Tom Eternal for now. He only returns once a month, and he's already left this place."
I stared in astonishment at the Undertaker. Poison Dreadstar and Elder Peach had already left to continue constructing the formation, trying every possible means to revive Wraithshade. Poison Dreadstar had exhausted all her power—though I could only sense a trace, her strength was clearly diminished. Elder Peach also looked utterly worn out.
Just thinking about this made me uneasy. I didn't want Wraithshade to be revived, nor did I want Elder Peach to die, but I couldn't bring myself to harm Poison Dreadstar, who once helped me.
On top of that, what we learned from Poison Dreadstar was shocking: it was Wraithshade who developed the technology to resurrect ghosts. I asked the Undertaker about it, but he said he didn't know—their relationship with Wraithshade was just a partnership for researching the Void.
That was the extent of their connection. The Undertaker didn't know anything further, but he did mention one point about ghost resurrection: it might be possible, since they've tried reconstructing damaged artificial souls to restore their original form. However, this only works for those with weak power; for the powerful, it's almost impossible.
As for Lydia Luo, who is still locked up in the research base, she's considered a special case. The researchers are working day and night, hoping to figure out how she managed to survive in that underground garbage swamp.
Ever since the Wish Balloon shattered the nightmare domain born of this dark will, the darkness has stabilized, and this black realm is running smoothly.
I decided not to dwell on these worries for now. I'd think about them when it was almost time to leave. For now, I needed to focus on my own strength and planned to resume nightly training with Heavenly Soul starting tomorrow.
After a brief stay, the Undertaker left. They're still working on a way to handle the weapons in the Twin Emperors' Domains.
Rachel Lan and Sylvia Blue had already gone home. Now, Heavenly Soul and I were tidying up the shop, planning to sip wine and wait for dawn before heading out to buy food.
