According to Ronan's observations, above the Polar Domain, the essence of the relationships between the Deity and grand dukes was annihilation and conflict between the rules of the "self."
That was a contradiction that directly touched the core of the Power Framework.
The two "night anglers" by the sea were so close to each other, yet on Ronan's side, never mind his "self" being corroded—the central square of the Nine Palace Grid was flickering wildly, and he had nervously analyzed this whole mess...
Why had the other side not noticed?
Looking on the bright side, was it because Ronan's Pure Observation had already become instinct?
In the past, Ronan had indeed used Pure Observation to seize the initiative many times.
But most of the time, that had been in Earth Spacetime. Whether in terms of spacetime environment or the people he targeted, it was vastly different from the Central Star Zone.
A method that had repeatedly achieved results at the middle and lower levels absolutely could not be taken for granted as invincible even at higher levels.
Ronan set that possibility aside for the moment.
Considering it from a more realistic angle: was it because he, this Novice Night Angler, was too weak, so that after the rules clashed, the resulting "corrosion" had become a completely one-way effect?
In other words, when that side stepped down with a giant foot, only Ronan the "ant" felt the pain; the other side was unharmed and completely unaware.
But the problem with this line of thought was:
Was the gap in strength between Ronan and Grand Duke Zhiping really that huge?
They were both in the Polar Domain, both rule frameworks of the "self."
In a collision on the level of rules, damage was damage, contact was contact—with sufficient interaction, a disparity so
