Maya's words stirred the ripples that had only just begun to settle. Everyone's attention refocused on the Doomscape.
For a time, hearts were in turmoil, and the hall was filled with noisy discussion.
In the end, Lapuye raised his wand and cast Astral Arcana, and the clamor gradually subsided. Yet even under forced calm, the anxiety remained. One prophecy wizard, who had always been known for his timidity, could not help standing and respectfully asking Lapuye, "Lord Crowned Star, what is your view on the information Witch Maya added today?"
Had it been another Observer, they would not have bothered with such questions. But Lapuye pondered seriously for a moment before answering, "More and more of the truth behind this matter has been exposed, yet compared to yesterday, it has become even stranger and more bizarre. If the Doomscape truly occurred in the Southern Region, why were all those who appeared in such a dangerous place apprentices? Where had the official wizards gone? Apprentices appearing in a world where gods were battling—it gave me a profoundly discordant feeling."
Lapuye spoke slowly, as though thinking while he spoke. "I still believe this may not have happened in the Southern Region. That is merely my intuition. However, I do agree with your speculation. It may indeed have some connection to Sky Mechanical City. After all, these apprentices were all supernovas selected by the New Star Tournament."
"From the scenes Witch Maya displayed, it could be seen that their strength was still at the apprentice stage, with little improvement. Therefore, the Doomscape should not have occurred far from the present. And in the short term, barring unforeseen circumstances, these apprentices should all be training in the Endless Corridor."
Though Lapuye called it intuition, an Observer's intuition had an extremely high degree of accuracy.
