As Gu Xi listened to the human leaders' explanation, his expression grew graver instead.
He could clearly tell that this operation against the Genesis Bridge had not been a spur-of-the-moment decision.
It was organized and premeditated, and preparations might even have been underway for a long time.
Apart from the three hostile factions that had already revealed themselves, Gu Xi suspected that at least two or three more factions were involved behind the scenes.
The Octopus Heads were certainly one of them.
Moreover, the Octopus Heads clearly played a fairly important role. They were supposed to enter the Genesis Bridge and coordinate with the forces outside to destroy it.
It was precisely because Gu Xi had wiped out the Octopus Head Clan that these enemies' plan had failed. In the end, they could only damage the Genesis Bridge by attacking it from outside, with no one able to enter and sabotage it from within.
Gu Xi also felt that there had to be an organizer behind all this.
After all, an undertaking like this required at least several years, perhaps even decades, of advance preparation and the combined strength of several races.
Neither the three enemies before them nor the Octopus Heads could have managed that.
Even if they could, they had no reason to do so.
That was why Gu Xi believed there had to be another organization behind them.
Gu Xi had long wondered about this: even humanity, ranked third, could find a way to connect to the Real World.
Did the Celestial Race and the Ten Thousand Spirits Race have corresponding methods of their own?
If they could truly make contact with Game Deep, then...
Given the Celestial Race's disposition, sabotaging humanity's growth would be perfectly normal.
Gu Xi immediately turned his suspicions toward the Celestial Race.
