Qin Ye listened intently as the Harken continued with its explanations.

“That Rakshasa woman must have already informed you of the dangers of venturing out and paving a way to other localities. Unfortunately, a nascent, village-sized Hell would never possess the finances to support such endeavours. Therefore… it only stands to reason that Hell would for some time be unable to even keep in check the existing incarnate revenants across Cathay, much less prevent the rise of new incarnate revenants. Based on our hypothetical estimates back then, I’m afraid we’re talking about the existence of at least a hundred of such existences!”

“It’s only a matter of time before these incarnate revenants soon realize that there aren’t any natural predators that are keeping them in check! Do you think you can really rely on those organizations in the mortal realm to keep their numbers down? Let me tell you something, so long as an incarnate revenant is intent on hiding and is able to abstain from feeding, then given the mortal realm’s current means of detection, there’s not a single chance that they would be able to uncover the evil ghosts that are hidden among their midst! The world is practically their oyster right now! How quickly do you think incarnate revenants are going to start spawning? How rapidly would their strength increase? Everyone’s attention is currently fixated on the three daolords still in existence in this world, but… they fail to realize that this is only the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath the surface… is the true fighting force of the netherworld that stands ready to crush all living forces!”
