Ronan had not been hinting at anything. He had merely been stating facts.
In his understanding, the "New Plane" was essentially equivalent to the "Cloud Top World" plus the "Mist Labyrinth."
The former was one thing—it currently existed only as an emotional anchor. But the latter was, in theoretical terms, an inexhaustible treasure trove. They said greed was never satisfied, yet the greed of those people on Earth might not actually be enough to drain it dry.

That was why the look Ronan gave Cat's Eye, and the meaning contained within it, seemed especially sincere.
"Since that's the case, whether we track the Fire God Ants or study the Sanctuary, the paths will ultimately converge. Both will require us to establish a connection with the
