No matter how many trials Adam advanced through inside the Raven Inheritance, nothing could have stopped him from losing composure after the series of shocks he had just experienced.
First, he had mysteriously arrived at the legendary magical domain known as the River of Fate.
Secondly, he found himself horrifyingly being drawn toward this mystical river, seemingly toward his death. If not for the lotus waking him up, he might have dipped inside the river and possibly perished.
That brings us to the third point—Spirit World Traversal.
Since he had acquired this ability from Valerian, this was the first time that it had not responded to his call. When he wanted to return to the material world a few moments ago, he found himself unable to.
Finally, the last and greatest shock was the arrival of the white butterfly whom he hadn't met in several years.
