In fact, initially, the cycle of Black Abyss Conflict was not once every ten years, but once every hundred years. Yet, as time passed, this cycle became shorter and shorter, until in recent times, it has changed to once every ten years.

If the source is completely devoured by the treasure blood, there would be no place for the cultivators of the Red Talisman Society in this realm.
