"This..."
Xilos let out a surprised gasp, her eyes changing drastically. Yet her shock lasted only an instant before she quickly returned to normal.
Because she suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Fei Mi had just said.
If they forcibly maintained the seals on the Sources of Black Mist, then aside from her, no matter how much power anyone else poured in, they would be unable to keep those seals going.

"So it's possible?"
Shen Yi raised his eyes slightly, and his clenched hand gradually relaxed.
After all, the power required would merely mean having those powerful people expend the effort to seal them once more. That was far quicker, and far more reliable, than selecting a new race and new people to guard those seals.
But there was clearly one doubtful point in this.
Could seals created with other people's power truly last that long?
