Kuize sipped his tea as he replied:
"Hehe, don't be so hasty, young man."
"By the standards of an Apex Hunter, and given the uniqueness of that body of yours, you still have a long life ahead of you. For all we know, your lifespan may end up several times longer than mine."
"With such vast and ample time, you will surely have enough opportunity to slowly consider other solutions."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's gaze immediately grew somewhat complicated. He nodded with a slightly guilty tone.
"Mm, that's right. That's what I think too."
"The reason I asked you those questions just now was purely to satisfy my curiosity. Of course I know the problem won't be so easily solved."
"After all, no matter what, if we cannot defeat the Abyss, all of this can only remain meaningless empty talk."
Kuize set his empty teacup on the edge of the table and slowly rose to his feet, speaking evenly.
"Mm. So long as you can always correctly recognize the situation we currently face."
Ye Chen fell silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Mm... I have one more question."
"At the last Apex Hunter tea gathering, you taught me much knowledge I had never heard before. I am deeply grateful for that."
"However, there was one other matter you did not mention that day."
"That is—"
"Is the Sixth Nightmare Realm perhaps the endpoint for every Nightmare Sensor in the world?"
"Does attaining the seat of an Apex Hunter mean that we will never welcome another round of 'nightmares'?"
At this, Kuize's eyes sank slightly. He then answered in a calm and composed manner.
"As far as this question is concerned, if we judge by the history of the Holy Light Pure Land, then that is indeed the case."
