    "Bloodette, wait up. Are you sure you want to do this? Do you need to take this risk? Why don''t you just destroy the bridge in the girl''s bloodline? I think that''s the best option for solving this problem with minimum risk." Cortney thought of Bloodette as more than friends, the little sister she never had to be exact. Therefore she was overprotective of Bloodette. And when heard Bloodette head to explore a foreign ne which could end up resulting in her getting lost for eternity in a vast foreign ne or even worse, death. Cortney could not gather the courage to support Bloodette''s adventure. Better yet, she started to persuade Bloodette not to explore the foreign ne and take the safest option of destroying the bloodline bridge connecting the two nes.


    "Cortney, do not worry. It''s not as risky as you think. I will leave a mark here on this ne which will guide my return to this ne if I forget my way back. And I am confident in my strength that I am powerful enough to kill against the foreign entity." Bloodette assured Cortney that she had everything under control. But Bloodette herself knew that she was faking it.


    The foreign entity was able to form a mark in the girl''s bloodline from another ne and ess it as a guiding stone and gateway for it to ne hope. These abilities are beyond Bloodette''s understanding. She could not even get rid of the dungeon seal imprisoning her in her original ne, let alone sense foreign nes, leave a mark, and open a gateway to invade the said foreign ne. Bloodette knew that the foreign entity was powerful and could possibly kill her without much effort, so her best bet should be destroying the bloodline bridge. So that she could not only save her life, but her friends lives too.


    Despite knowing the imminent danger, Bloodette still chose to explore the foreign ne because she did not want to let go of her only opportunity of getting rid of the dungeon seal. Bloodette knew she was being selfish, and her selfishness was putting her fries lives in potential danger. Still, she chose to follow her selfishness despite the cost, promising herself that if something were to go south, she would destroy the bloodline bridge first, even if it meant her being stuck in the foreign ne for the rest of her life because she wanted to take responsibility for her selfishness.


    Things were not chaotic as Bloodette thought. The foreign entity was not some almighty existence with the ability of ne hopping but a demigod soul who hadid the groundwork for resurrection before his untimely demise. Not only was Bloodette mistaken about the foreign entity, but she also had mistaken about the foreign ne. It was not a ce for the living but the dead. Bloodette''s misunderstanding will cost her life. As the dead do not look kindly on the living.


    How do the souls in the river of souls forget their past memories? There is no old grandma feeding them her magical memory loss soup like in the myths. The souls lose their memories because of time erosion. The time in the river of souls is much faster than the time in the material ne. One day in the river of souls equals nine years in the material ne.


    The ordinary souls in the river of souls wait for an eternity to get their turn to enter the cycle of reincarnation. During their eternity spent in the river of souls, the souls forget about their measly time spent in the material ne and lose all their attachments of their previous lives. This process is called time erosion or memory erosion.


    By the time these ordinary souls finally get to enter the cycle of reincarnation, they would have lost all their past life memories and attachments. But this time or memory erosion applies differently for the card apprentice souls who practice how to increase their active soul control.


    Since the card apprentices have more control over their souls than ordinary souls, they can withstand the time erosion for a more extended period. The higher the realm of the card apprentice''s soul, the longer they can withstand the time/memory erosion. But the time/memory erosion has a near negligible effect on the strong entities like the Unparalleled Demigod, Demigod Michngelo, etc., whose will has be one with their home world''s will. These souls have aplished the highest state that a mortal soul can achieve and do not want to be disturbed from their eternal peace. These souls are so strong that they can birth in their homeworld even without entering the cycle of reincarnation, nor do they need sneaky tricks like the demigod Redfall.


    "Bloodette, If I were you, I would not try to explore the foreign ne. If you step a single foot into that ne, no matter how many preparations you have made, they will not matter as you will be dragged into that ne by its inhabitants. So I suggest you give up on your little adventure and destroy the bloodline bridge before you do something you regret for the rest of your life." As Bloodette''s friend and her selfless help, it was my duty to stop her from doing something not only idiotic but potentially deadly, not only for her but the rest of us.


    "What do you know about the foreign ne and bloodline bridge in the girl''s bloodline? You did not even know they existed until I mentioned them to you. And don''t you dare say it''s a secret again. As I cannot guarantee you will leave this dungeon in one piece after that." Bloodetteshed out at me. She was enraged and went as far as to threaten me verbally. She was frustrated and did not understand why I asked her for help if I knew everything already.. She felt like I was messing with her on purpose.
