People whose minds worked slowly would only take in the straightforward information Tai Yu had provided. But there were clever people after all, capable of following Tai Yu's train of thought.
Priest Farul spoke in a low voice. "There's a contradiction here."
Tai Yu praised him. "Exactly." "Stone Souls," as semi-energy entities, were certainly targets that the "Void-Gnawing Fungus" liked to parasitize. Yet under certain conditions, their behavioral patterns would conflict:
"A 'Stone Soul' might be content with any location deep underground. In high-temperature areas rich in geothermal lava, it could rapidly absorb energy and return to its original level. In most cases, the 'Void-Gnawing Fungus' could also obtain more energy through this host, secure its basic needs, and reproduce to a limited extent.
"But there is only one 'Stone Soul.' It goes deep underground to return to its original level, not to split again. Therefore, the number of 'Void-Gnawing Fungi' it can carry must be limited. Once they reach a certain scale, further reproduction becomes difficult.
"In a parasitic relationship, the 'host' is always the victim, the party that must sacrifice its own interests. That means it is destined to follow the pace of its parasitic master...
"Either it defies its nature and continues splitting, or it compromises with the 'Void-Gnawing Fungus' and seeks out areas of spacetime structure along the 'edge ridges' deep underground. Only there can neither side be held back.
"Otherwise, if the 'Void-Gnawing Fungus' gets truly willful, the 'Boundary' is where it likes best. If that were the case, Priest Farul, you would have resolved this matter long ago... Mm, choosing to approach it from the 'Boundary' was indeed the correct direction."
Farul fell silent again. He would never believe Tai Yu's words were sincere praise.
On the other side, Gong Zhicheng finally caught
