Song Yan stood in the ancient house of unknown age, the dark floor entwined with the dust of tables and chairs along with the skeleton fragments crushed due to loss of Evil Qi.

Song Yan could vaguely discern that nine out of ten of these monsters were once humans.

The appearance of Demon Beasts in the Secret Realm is not unusual, as "using Secret Realms to breed Demon Beasts" might be a highly sophisticated commonplace trick, at least it was in the past.

But the appearance of a residence, the appearance of humans, was somewhat strange.

He instinctively raised his head, releasing his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings.

Yet, as soon as his Divine Sense exited the house, it was quickly blocked, and at this moment, the torrential rain had completely obscured his Divine Sense's investigation.

However, he could still vaguely distinguish some other residences in the distance.

Not many, but definitely not few.

Considering his view was merely a corner of the Secret Realm, then clearly these houses intended for human habitation were numerous.

An ancient group residing within a Secret Realm?

Song Yan couldn't help but come to an initial conclusion.

It's important to know that this Secret Realm was drawn out from an unknown corner of the world to fill the "Sea of Suffering", and its existence should be extremely ancient, and from the furniture in the houses that shatter upon a mere shock from air, yet remaining intact, it can be seen that no one has been here for a very long time.

The Tumor Realm is layered.

One layer after another.

The further outside, the more recent it is dragged in.

Thus, he was among the very first to enter this place in countless years.

'Could it be Ancient Cultivators?'

Seeing as the rain wouldn't be stopping anytime soon, Song Yan began exploring this residence, attempting to find some treasures.

The residence wasn't particularly large, with two doors, and Song Yan was currently in the main room behind the first door. Judging by the overall structure, this house should be something akin to a reception hall.

He made a round, naturally finding no treasures, after all... no one would hide treasures in a "reception hall".

Song Yan arrived at the back door, looking towards some buildings in the backyard.

Through the rain curtain, he could vaguely see some strange outlines moving behind the back house's door, appearing to be "abnormal skeletons assembled from Evil Qi".

Further back, there were tables and chairs, bookshelves, obviously a place like a study.

Song Yan really wanted to take a look, so he acted on the thought of "perhaps tearing down the roof to use as an umbrella," raising his hand like a blade to cut toward the roof, but upon trying slightly, he found something wrong.

The building materials here were terrifyingly hard. If placed outside, they'd all be excellent materials for casting Array Plates.

He tried for a while, gave up, and began quietly waiting.

He couldn't go anywhere on rainy days.

And the abnormal skeletons in the distant study also instinctively didn't want to enter the rain, so they stayed inside.

...

Listening to the rain fall all night without cease, yet instead, it grew even heavier.

Song Yan patiently waited.

Though the Paper House was useful, even one made from Purple Mansion Blood in places like this could only be used once less each time, possibly being a one-time object, so he had to use it at a critical time.

...

After three days, the rain still hadn't stopped, and the water on the ground had accumulated to a high level.

Song Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the house, suddenly heard some abnormal noises, he abruptly opened his eyes, seeing that the threshold of this reception hall unexpectedly could no longer block the outside accumulation of water.

The water overflowed the threshold, swaying with the wind, broke surface tension, soaked into the house, and began spreading inward, making the entire floor of the reception hall wet in no time.

Song Yan moved, leaping directly to the roof beams, and then began waiting on the beams...

This rain fell with absolutely no reason.

Listening to the sole sound of rain between heaven and earth, watching the increasingly accumulating water beneath his feet, a sudden premonition of misfortune surged in his heart.

He didn't know the terrain of the Secret Realm, but he knew... a sudden downpour lasting several days could potentially lead to some kinds of natural disasters, like "dragons flooding tides", or "mountain flood avalanches".

The water here wasn't inherently scary, but if it were infused with rain carrying the aura of the Sea of Suffering, then it would turn into a small Sea of Suffering.

Song Yan didn't know how other people or demons entering the Secret Realm were faring, but such unlucky matters shouldn't befall him alone, right?

But there were always unlucky people, he couldn't be certain.

...

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed, and the rain still hadn't ceased.

And the ground had turned into a stream...

Suddenly, Song Yan's brow twitched, as he heard a sound from the distance like "mosquito flies" buzzing, but the sound quickly heightened, sharp, from insect chirping to gongs and drums, and then to bustling market noise, eventually transforming into endless drumbeats.

Flooding occurred!!

But there was no sound of houses collapsing.

Song Yan swiftly picked up the Paper House, preparing to place it down at the crucial moment.

Soon, the flood tide arrived.

With a monstrous roar.

Submerging most of the house, yet the water stopped two or three feet beneath Song Yan's feet.

The abnormal skeleton next door didn't manage to timely leap on the beams like Song Yan, and was swept into the flood.

Song Yan only saw the Evil Qi emitting a mournful scream, the surrounding Evil Qi rapidly dissolving, first dispersing the Evil Qi, then the Slaughter Liquid began fading, transforming into Evil Qi, subsequently evaporating, and some red Evil Qi powder within frantically floated to the skeleton's outermost layer, seemingly extremely afraid of touch by the flood.

Song Yan squinted his eyes, suddenly grabbing from the Void the "Sikong Seal corpse", manipulating the corpse at the entrance near the Evil Qi.

The struggling Evil Qi seemed to have grasped a lifeline, rapidly shooting towards the Sikong Seal corpse.

Song Yan immediately stored the corpse in the Storage Bag, retrieving it into his hand.
