The source of contamination in the temple might just be that void.
Those strange Spirit Realm monsters should have spread from here, including that powerful Dark Stars.
Rod speculated that this void might be related to Heigao'er. The fragmented dream remained in the Spirit Realm for too long, and the attracted monsters came to the Material World through the dream and its master's connection.
Perhaps after Heigao'er died, the void persisted for a while.
Until the dream and its master completely perished, everything finally returned to peace.
Subsequently, the fragmented dream drifted in the Spirit Realm for thousands of years before reviving again, choosing Rod as its master, embarking once more on the path of mending the broken mirror.
The only two questions are, why did Heigao'er's soul linger in the dream, and why was it filled with hatred?
Where is Heigao'er's body? Who turned his skull into a candlestick?
