Roan continued. 'The pillars.'
That made everyone confused.
'What do you mean?' Rean asked. 'The Ghost only appears for those who try to escape Woster, far, far from the city. The pillars only exist in the city, don't they?'
Roan confirmed the last part. 'You are correct that the pillars only exist in the city. However, they are the very thing that controls the Ghost of Woster.'
He continued walking, his mind becoming increasingly certain about the theory that had been forming since he first touched the pillar.
'Everything makes sense if you think about it like this. The pillars are the connection between the womb and the Ghost. The womb absorbs the Yin Energy, and at the same time, makes sure everyone stays in Woster. This thing about cultivators touching the pillar and dying is nothing but a side effect.'
