If the previous Netherworld was said to be a seed, then the present Netherworld had already become a seedling. It was continuously absorbing nutrients, thriving, and growing vigorously in the process.
The Temple of the Qing Xuan Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery also vanished in the Netherworld, as its existence was attached to the strange spaces of the Netherworld. After Shen Lian arranged his affairs, he left for the temple.
As soon as he stepped foot into the temple, he vanished. To put it another way, only the Qing Xuan Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery was left behind in the temple. This was a very abstruse thing, for he is still himself, yet his status was that of the Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery for Qing Xuan.
He completely lacked the feeling of reluctance towards this foreign status, as if he ought to have this role.
Shen Lian was not confused by the changes in his status, as he himself did not change.
