Contesting ownership of a world wasn't Su Xiao's first time, but this was the first time he'd seen Void races participate in something like this.
Presumably, this contest was special. After all, it wasn't a large-scale world contest. If it were an official world contest, Su Xiao would have been summoned first, but that hadn't happened this time.
Thinking about it this way, this was probably a Main Quest centered around seizing a world, rather than an eighth-rank world contest.
Su Xiao wondered if it was just his imagination. Perhaps he'd won more world contests in his earlier ranks, while in the middle and later stages, Reincarnation Paradise always sent him into tough battles. In the world contests of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks, hadn't every one of them been a chaotic melee between monsters?
If Su Xiao seized this world, Reincarnation Paradise would provide him with resources. What puzzled him was how those Void races would profit after winning. Would they occupy the world within the painting?
Su Xiao felt that was unlikely. If the Void factions dared to do that, while they were stationed in the world within the painting, Contractors from the various Paradises would come looking for trouble.
Conversely, if a Paradise obtained ownership of the world within the painting, it would be difficult for the other parties to enter.
Analyzing it this way, the Void races had probably come to seize the world within the painting because they could use some method to transfer its ownership to the Void Tree, then receive an equivalent return from the Void Tree.
What could a world be exchanged for? The answer was that, given the Void Tree's absolute neutrality, the resources it returned could tempt even major factions such as Arcane Eternal Star, the Demon Clan, and
