"Could there be a connection between the two?"
After contemplating this, Gu Ran eventually spoke truthfully about the matter to the Demi-Dragon.
After listening, the Demi-Dragon fell silent for a while, then looked at Gu Ran with a hint of deep color in his eyes before nodding.
"It's very likely, the underground space that you transported to before is probably the base of the current Shade Realm. However, there's no need to worry. If the diameter of the Shade Realm is only ten thousand meters, it means it has not fully formed yet."
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in the Demi-Dragon's hand, and then a soccer ball-sized lump of metal materialized in his grasp.
"This is a Sky-Shaking Thunder produced by a High-level Goblin. You just need to throw it into the unformed Shade Realm, and it will be completely destroyed."
