Just to maintain the Order of the Ruins Realm according to its will?
Shen Heng paused, then looked up.
"What do you mean by Order' here?"
"It's the entire environment over there in the Ruins Realm!" Liya Nolandil said.
"During the Chaos Era, the entire Ruins Realm was filled with countless wars, bloodshed, and the extinction of races."
"But by the time of the Primordial Era, shaped jointly by His Nordrassil and His Sun King, the environment within the Ruins Realm had become one of Order, security, and freedom."
"Then, during the Age of Godfall, this environment transformed again into one of bloodshed, domination, and the survival of the fittest."
"And now..."
After a pause, Night Spirit Liya muttered in a tone that was somewhat dissatisfied but resigned to reality,
"Although it couldn't keep up with the Primordial Era, the overall environment of the Ruins Realm was relatively stable under the rule of the Broken Serpent Court Council."
"War, slaughter, and bloodshed still exist, but there haven't been events like the Chaos Era and the Primordial Era, where tens or hundreds of thousands of Calamity Beasts died at a time, or any kind of racial extinction occurred."
"In short, it's so-so..."
There was no response. Shen Heng sat on the back of the Stone, his eyes lowered in thought.
Qin Yu glanced at the captain, who didn't seem inclined to ask, paused, and then asked herself.
"So, the Court Council established by those three Calamity Beasts was simply to make the Ruins Realm more stable?"
"Mm," Liya Norandil responded.
"Why?" Qin Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. In her understanding, the Calamity Beasts shouldn't care about these things.
Shen Heng also looked up.
"I don't know," said Liya Nolandil, "But I guess it's because during the Primordial Era and the Era of Godsfall, there were always tribes fighting there, which annoyed it and disturbed its cultivation, so that's why it's like this."
Qin Yu paused for a moment, then turned her head.
"So, for many low-level Calamity Beast, they are actually like saviors?"
"Without them, the Ruins Realm would likely be in chaos, and they would have a hard time surviving?"
"Uh..." Liya Nolandir hesitated for a moment, "You could say that."
Shen Heng didn't pay attention to this, and looked up.
"So, for them, this Court Council only serves to help stabilize the Order of the Ruins Realm; nothing else matters?"
"Mm!" Liya Norlandil responded.
"Forget about fighting; the gap between eighth and ninth tiers can be huge. Other Calamity Beasts, even Eighth Tier, probably can't help. But what about miscellaneous tasks?" Shen Heng looked at 'Qin Yu'.
"Gathering resources, building palaces, collecting information, and so on."
"These Calamity Beasts scattered throughout the entire Ruins Realm should be able to help them, right?"
Qin Yu paused, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes as well.
"Emm..." Liya Nolandir hesitated for a moment,
"Resources— Calamity Beast that has cultivated to the Ninth Tier is itself the strongest thing!"
"The others, those that they would want, are not things that ordinary Calamity Beast can gather."
As for building palaces.
"That does work, but it only works on the Deep Sea Whale Valder."
"That broken serpent doesn't care about such things. If it really wants to build, it can do so directly using its own Authority of Distortion, which is far more efficient than other Calamity Beasts helping."
"Then the Corrosion Giant Moth Muque, shows absolutely no interest in these things; it remains exactly as it was in its original place."
"The only one interested in this is the Deep Sea Whale Valder."
"It did indeed have the sea Calamity Beast below it help build palaces and such."
"But strictly speaking..."
"Its status wasn't determined by the Court Council, but by its own position among the sea Calamity Beast."
"Even before the Court Council was built, it already had other sea Calamity Beast that served it!"
"Then comes the last one, gathering information."
"This is somewhat useful, but not really."
"Once they reach the Ninth Tier, they will have an instinctive intuition about things happening in the world that might affect them."
"Of course, it's not particularly obvious, and you can't know the specifics, but at least you'll have a feeling about it."
"In other words, things can affect them, they are aware of it themselves, and it has nothing to do with them..."
"Well... it's not that it's meaningless, but they can certainly choose not to know about it."
"That's what those three guys did too."
Even Valder, who is the most fond of interacting with the Calamity Beasts below among the three, basically doesn't care about anything else.
"Oh, right, speaking of which, there's something else I need to tell you."
"Didn't I previously use my esteemed name to try and communicate with His Nordrassil about the seedlings he lost here?"
Shen Heng nodded.
Liya Nolandir continued,
"Besides using their honorific names, you can also say their names directly so that they can hear them and see them in the next moment."
Shen Heng paused, then suddenly looked up.
Beside her, Qin Yu also paused for a moment, raising her gaze.
"Uh, don't worry, it only works in the same world, it won't work in different worlds!" Liya Nolandir could tell what the two were worried about.
Shen Heng let out a soft sigh, "Then why do we need a respectful name?"
"Using their honorific names is more formal and more in line with their status! Think about it, you're Ninth Tier being. If you just call them by their names and they see you, they'll probably just kill you on the spot!" Liya Nolandir said.
Somewhat speechless, Shen Heng still nodded in agreement.
"Is this also known through the Authority that one wields throughout the world?"
"Mm!" Liya Norlandil responded.
"It can still attack?" Shen Heng asked.
"Of course, you think I'm joking?" Liya Nolandir said. "However, the power of this attack will gradually decrease as you get closer to it."
"If you're far enough away, even Seventh Tier fighter has a chance to survive!"
"If this continues, things won't be good."
Even the slightest movement of Authority is not something that beings who have not yet embarked on the path can withstand!
Shen Heng nodded slowly; this ability was indeed quite useful.
"So," Liya Nolandir continued, "You can say their names here, or on your Blue Star, that's fine. But in the future, if you accidentally end up in the Ruins Realm or something, or if they end up on your Blue Star, then don't say their names!"
"Especially that broken snake, and the Corrosion Giant Moth Muque."
"The others, because they have more contact with other living beings and are called more often, are not very likely to pay attention to who is calling their names."
"But these two almost never communicate with the Calamity Beasts below."
"Once you pronounce its name..."
"Because they are new and unfamiliar creatures, they will almost certainly look at you when they hear the reason."
