The final destination of the old traveling merchant is there.
Moreover, the Night Abyss has more than one layer.
The old traveling merchant is on the first layer of the Night Ruins, while the ghost resides in an even deeper realm.
"When people die, they become ghosts; when ghosts die, they become ghosts. Is this statement still correct?" This was the original belief of many people.
However, this ingrained understanding now seems to have been overturned.
Is the old traveling merchant a ghost? No, they have bodies and are not spirits. Having roamed in the dark no-man's land for years, they have already touched the first layer of the Night Ruins.
Now, with no Yujing hanging above, the mist between the Night Ruins and the real world has become thin, allowing some bizarre phenomena to materialize and enter the real world.
