As his thoughts churned, A Lan came up with a solution to the first problem.

One thing was certain: the Inscriber Clan was no benevolent force.

If they discovered an uncontrollable leak of resources from a civilization space, their first response would be to eliminate the anomaly and patch any potential vulnerabilities. But if they found that the leak couldn't be fixed, they would most likely choose Purification.

That meant erasing the entire space, along with every living being and every material inside it.

They would eliminate the danger at its source.

Therefore, the space inhabited by the branch clan couldn't be subjected to any risky experiments.

It certainly couldn't be used as a "dungeon" for players to enter en masse.

This was where the branch clan lived. The script laid out by the Inscriber Clan had to keep running stably.

But there was no way the Inscriber Clan had only one civilization space.

They wove history and harvested civilizations. They must have possessed many independent spaces, each imprisoning a different civilization.

Those spaces were the perfect vessels for large-scale dungeons.

With that in mind, his plan became clear.

For now, he would give up on directly interfering with the "Lunar Eclipse Chapter Space" and instead turn other civilization spaces under the Inscriber Clan's control into large-scale dungeons where their players could explore, develop, and fleece them for resources.

This approach had three advantages.

First, it was safe and discreet.

Since the problem didn't lie with the branch clan, and the Inscriber Clan could still steadily obtain rule-derived energy from this space, they wouldn't act against it.

Second, it shifted the risk elsewhere. Even if the players' various antics caused the Inscriber Clan to purge that space, the sacrifice would be an unrelated civilization and wouldn't affect his branch clan.
