The spider had said it wanted to throw it away, but how could it? That was a Middle Thousand World.
Forget True Venerables—even to a True Monarch, this was an incomparably precious treasure.
If nothing else, just as True Monarch Kanshui had thought, even if they shattered this world, they could still obtain the World Core, couldn't they?
But none of the six True Venerables had ever considered doing that, because it was far too wasteful!
The spider had made no promise to protect the Middle Thousand World. It had merely followed the Human Race out for a trip, and at most, it would join in a fight.
It had not even needed to take on the job of dragging this huge rock in the first place. It had only helped out in passing.
Even so, it still could not throw it away, because... it could actually accelerate temporarily. It just cost a bit too much mana.
I'll have to eat more next time, it secretly calculated.
The next moment, however, it was stunned to discover that the other True Venerables had instantly leaped out of the Space Sub-layer, moving as fast as they possibly could.
Don't they know to cover me a little? This thought suddenly popped into the spider's muddled head.
But in truth, the team Qu Jianlei led had never played that way. When sudden incidents occurred, they first sought to get themselves out.
Covering each other and coordinating... that was a choice they would only make after they had at least roughly figured out the situation.
The other True Venerables understood things the same way. In a rush, rather than coordinate blindly, it was better to save their own lives first.
If a teammate was harmed because of that, then they could take vicious revenge afterward.
