Ryu's eyes slowly opened. He could sense that they were getting closer. Though Mae was still quite a distance away, at the very least, he felt that there was civilization closing in.
It was odd. These days, he felt more sensitive about certain things. There was no reason he should be so certain. After all, he knew far too little about the True Nether Plane to begin with. The dreary atmosphere, the thick Nether Qi, and the demons were pretty much all he was aware of. And yet, just from the shift in Fate in the air, he could tell that they were closing in on a more civilized society.
The wilderness had bundles of Fate that were more irregular and chaotic, while humanoid civilizations were more organized and almost… airtight, as though there was less room for change.
