Over the next few weeks, Echos experienced a mass exodus. A massive number of people migrated from the East to the West.
While that was happening, Amon spent his time near the portal to the lower world, which was experiencing a different kind of migration. The army of the lower world poured into the surface world, but they remained near the portal. Since the region was no-man's-land, their presence was unnoticed. The nearby spirit beasts vacated the area because the humans who exited the portal were all stronger than they were.
One month after Amon returned to the surface world, he received a message from Mo Wang. In the message, Mo Wang informed Amon that the upper world had contacted him. They said that the Purge would begin one week later.
