Without opening his mouth to respond, Shen Heng slowly nodded.
Does it hardly interact with other Calamity Beast...?
"By the way, when you go out, if you need to report information about those three guys, you should take this with you. Of course, if possible, it's best not to mention their names," said Liya Nolandil.
Shen Heng nodded.
The world is so big, and there are so many Erosion Zone. Even if we don't say anything, the General Bureau will always be able to get relevant information from other places. It's just a matter of time.
In this situation, reporting it directly and submitting the relevant notes along with it would be a safer option.
At that time, the General Bureau will take the initiative to prevent the news from spreading.
But...
Shen Heng raised his eyes,
"So, they spearheaded that Court Council just to maintain Order in the Ruins Realm?"
"Yeah, didn't we say that twice already?" Liya Nolandir was starting to get annoyed. This guy was being way too cautious, needing to confirm a single piece of information so many times.
Qin Yu, who was standing to the side, also glanced at the captain.
Shen Heng ignored their expressions and calmly asked,
"So what are they pursuing?"
"Hmm?" Liya Nolandir paused, somewhat puzzled. "What are you pursuing?"
"Hmm." Shen Heng looked at 'Qin Yu'.
"As you said, once they reach that level, there's not much left to interest them."
"Even establishing a Court Council was merely to make the Ruins Realm quieter."
"If that's the case, then what are they ultimately pursuing?"
"Strength? And another source of Authority?"
"Well..."
Liya Nolandir opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.
This question really stumped her.
The knowledge she had acquired did not include what Ninth Tier being was pursuing.
Strength? Authority?
Intuitively, that's what they're pursuing!
However, this skill becomes extremely difficult to improve after reaching the Ninth Tier.
This can also be seen from His Nordrassil; at the end of the Primordial Era, His Nordrassil already held three Authority.
Currently, we only have mastered three.
That damned snake, although it subsequently gained control of two Authority.
But those two Authority were earned slowly over time, and now it seems there are no signs of them gaining any new Authority.
The rest are mostly the same.
What was the purpose of that?
Qin Yu, standing to the side, was also lost in thought, somewhat confused.
Shen Heng just watched.
After a long pause, Liya Nolandir said somewhat uncertainly,
"It should still come down to strength, right? After all, once you reach the Ninth Tier, even though you control an Authority, you can still continue down that path."
"What will happen if we continue down this path?" Shen Heng asked.
"Uh, I don't know, it should still be Ninth Tier, just a little stronger than a regular Ninth Tier." Liya Nolandir said uncertainly; this was definitely a blind spot for her.
"Let's not talk about that now, let's move on to another issue."
Shen Heng looked at 'Qin Yu',
"As you said before, once they reach the Ninth Tier, there's not much left in the entire Ruins Realm that they care about."
"If that's the case, then why invade our Blue Star?"
Shen Heng looked at 'Qin Yu'.
He didn't know how big the entire Ruins Realm was, but in any case, it was much, much, much bigger than Blue Star.
This can be seen from a single Plateau Erosion Zone.
The Plateau Erosion Zone stretches for thousands of kilometers, and there are more than twenty such Erosion Zones across the entire Blue Star.
Then, it's impossible for most of the Ruins Realm to become Erosion Zone, right?
Should the beings of the Ruins Realm even exist?
"Well..."
Liya Nolandir opened her mouth, only to choke again.
This guy really knows how to ask the most bizarre questions!
Theoretically speaking, or rather, based on her understanding, Ninth Tier being should indeed look down on that Blue Star.
After all, there's only so much land.
Then, the only interesting thing is the technology.
These things are truly useless to beings at the Ninth Tier.
It is also of little use against Eighth Tier Calamity Beasts below the Ninth Tier.
The only ones who might be of use are those tribes.
After all, those are still territories, resources, and interests.
But...
Jörmungandr, who usually ignores even the Calamity Beast that control the Court Council, would never bother with this for no reason!
Why is that?
Qin Yu, standing to the side, was also lost in deep thought.
After a long pause, Liya Nolandir finally spoke with some difficulty.
"This... it's probably still about resources, after all, it's a world!"
Shen Heng nodded and slowly withdrew his gaze.
Since we don't know the answer, there's no point in asking further.
But...
Shen Heng's eyes remained calm.
When we first had little contact with each other, we always thought that the Ruins Realm was eyeing Blue Star's resources.
But the more I know, the less it feels like that anymore.
There's really nothing on Blue Star that they care about.
No, it should be said that it does exist, otherwise this situation of two worlds overlapping would not have occurred.
So, it should be said, is there something they don't know?
Is this related to the previous question?
Strength, Authority, invasion...
Actually, there's a Tenth Tier above the Ninth Tier? Those guys are actually aiming for the Tenth Tier? And the Tenth Tier requires something, only Blue Star...
No, Blue Star shouldn't be that special, right?
Can...
Thoughts flashed through Shen Heng's mind, but each thought could not be expanded further after reaching a certain point.
Suddenly, Shen Heng paused and looked up.
It wasn't for any other reason, but because the Stones carrying them along had slowed them down.
Beside her, Qin Yu and the Night Spirit Liya Nolandir in her mind also raised their gazes.
A crossroads appeared before them.
This is the first intersection I've seen since coming in; before, the most I've seen was just a T-junction.
What's even stranger is that the corridor leading to the front is significantly wider than the corridors on the other two sides, not just by a little bit, but by two or three times.
"Uh, Lord Shen Heng, which way do we go now?!" Stone flapped its wings and stopped at the crossroads.
Without an immediate response, Shen Heng glanced at the three different roads, then looked at 'Qin Yu'.
No notification was received.
He wasn't surprised; he simply turned his gaze back to the three roads.
Spacious, flat, quiet...
There's no reason to hesitate; if you know nothing, you should definitely head towards the main road.
He spoke, saying...
Let's keep going.
