Truth and the Invaders

Some matters, when it came to differing positions, could not be judged as right or wrong.

Bai Zhi believed that the thoughts held by those Invaders were shared by players like himself—not necessarily all of them, but certainly the vast majority.

Even he himself had held the same thought in the beginning.

But the past was the past, and the present was the present. After receiving the Jar Merchant's assurances and explanation, he had lost interest in that Puzzle Card.

After all, his goal was to restore the Shadow World, not turn it into another containment site crawling with Anomalies. That kind of restoration would have no meaning whatsoever.

After obtaining the final crucial piece of information from the White-haired Man in Sunglasses, he could roughly infer the current situation, the chain of events that had led to it, as well as the truth behind the changes in the Domain of Delirium and the collapse of the Core Zone.

He did not know what conditions were required to advance from Legendary to Mythic, but clearly, the process could not be interfered with. That was why the players of the Puzzle Card World had gone to such lengths to hide that card.

Even if multiple Containment Measures failed, even if the Core Zone continued to collapse, even if the entire [Domain of Delirium] kept falling apart, as long as that Puzzle Card successfully advanced in the end and the Puzzle Card World gained its own Mythic Creation, all those previous sacrifices would have been worth it.
