The Mountain of Truth.
Shen Heng remained seated in his original spot, waiting.
The surrounding area was completely silent.
This silence doesn't just cover this area, but rather the vast majority of the Mountain of Truth.
There was only a slight noise near the foot of the mountain.
Although for Shen Heng, there was no difference between noise from afar and noise from all sides, it at least provided a relatively comfortable environment for thinking.
Next steps; what to do if the operation succeeds; what to do if the operation fails; what to do if the base is not defended...
One event after another played out and swirled in his mind.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked towards the distant horizon.
There were many Calamity Beast circling in the sky, as was the case as usual.
Then, the outermost Calamity Beast suddenly paused, then quickly flew towards them, shouting as it did so.
"Lord Bronze Skull Beast, Lord Bronze Skull Beast, something terrible has happened! A human has arrived, and a Sixth Tier human at that!!"
"Lord Bronze Skull Beast, Lord Bronze Skull Beast..."
The screams continued until they reached nearby, and were heard by the Calamity Beast on the Mountain of Truth, who then looked in the direction from which the Calamity Beast had come.
However, the Calamity Beast paid them no heed.
It flew quickly... taking several tens of seconds, until it reached the Bronze Skull Beast near the mountaintop platform, then landed on its wings.
"Lord Bronze Skull Beast, something terrible has happened! A human has appeared over there, and it's Sixth Tier one!"
There was no response; the Bronze Skull Beast, which had raised its head early on, gazed silently in that direction.
In the field of vision, a figure could indeed be vaguely seen in mid-air.
Moreover, it's rapidly approaching.
As the distance closed, the Calamity Beast that had been circling and guarding the area all went around it, only daring to return after the figure had passed.
Suddenly, a vacuum appeared in the sky, and it was approaching.
Soon, as they drew closer, the figure became clearer and clearer...
Until, the eyes of the man and the beast met.
"Is it really Sixth Tier?"... The Bronze Skull Beast frowned, staring at that figure.
The figure paused slightly, then immediately retreated.
"This... Lord Bronze Skull Beast, shouldn't we hurry and chase after him? Otherwise, that human will escape!" the Calamity Beast that came to deliver the message shouted anxiously.
However, the Bronze Skull Beast ignored it.
At this moment, it was frowning, watching the figure quickly disappear into the distance.
For the past two years, those humans have not set foot on the Mountain of Truth.
Why?
Did they not know that the Mountain of Truth existed?
It's normal not to know what the Mountain of Truth is for, but it's unlikely that someone wouldn't know either.
After all, humans have figured out even the more distant and smaller Anchor Point, let alone a Mountain of Truth.
However, even under these circumstances, those who had never been here before...
The only explanation is that they already knew about the Mountain of Truth, but knew they couldn't defeat it, so they didn't come.
Why did they suddenly arrive under these circumstances? Especially now that Lion King is out on a mission?
No matter how you look at it, this is a bit strange!
But if it's said that this human came knowing about their plan, then that seems rather strange.
After all, the plan was executed very secretly and suddenly; no matter how you look at it, those humans shouldn't have known about it.
Furthermore, even if they knew about the plan, why would they come this way instead of running out to warn others?
If they had that capability, these humans would probably have come here long ago!
So, why is that...?
The situation, which left the Bronze Skull Beast bewildered, caused it to furrow its brow.
It hesitated for a moment, watching the human disappear into the distance, but ultimately decided to play it safe and leave it be.
Even if the Lion King leaves, those humans are powerless to deal with this place!
Having calmed his thoughts, the Bronze Skull Beast looked at the Calamity Beast that had come to report the news.
"Alright, you can go back now!"
"Huh? Huh?" The Calamity Beast that brought the news was somewhat puzzled. "Lord Bronze Skull Beast, this... are we just going to abandon that human?"
"This is none of your business!" The Bronze Skull Beast's voice suddenly turned cold.
Upon hearing this, the Calamity Beast that had brought the message trembled and immediately lay down in response.
"Understood, Lord Bronze Skull Beast!"
After speaking, it carefully got up, then flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
Looking down at the somewhat restless yet restrained Calamity Beast, the Bronze Skull Beast raised its gaze once more, looking in the direction where the human had just left.
Once it was certain that the other person was getting further and further away, the Bronze Skull Beast lowered its head and continued to rest.
However, his head had only just lowered a little when it suddenly stopped.
The figure in their field of vision slowly came to a stop, then looked in their direction.
Seemingly noticing that the Sixth Tier Calamity Beast guarding the area wasn't chasing her, she hesitated before slowly approaching.
Upon seeing this, the patrolling Calamity Beast scattered in terror.
The human seemed unconcerned and continued to approach rapidly.
Moreover, during this process, her figure descended rapidly.
The target location appears to be halfway up the mountain.
Upon seeing this, the Bronze Skull Beast frowned and stood up.
The next moment.
It saw that the human, because it had stood up, suddenly stopped in mid-air and could no longer move forward.
However, unlike before, she did not back down.
Instead, after pausing for a while, it tentatively began to move little by little towards the mountainside.
This human is really pushing his luck!... The Bronze Skull Beast's lips twitched.
It had no doubt that the reason the other party acted this way was because it hadn't paid any attention to her before!
But should we intervene or not?
The Bronze Skull Beast hesitated.
If it were to intervene, the other party's appearance would be too suspicious, and given how vast the Mountain of Truth is, and its lack of speed, it wouldn't be able to stop the other party if it wanted to escape.
If we ignore it...
Seemingly realizing that it had no intention of moving, the human increased its speed again.
The target remains within the range of the Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, located halfway up the mountain.
The Calamity Beast in that location seemed to have seen the human approaching them, and they scattered in terror, shouting something as they did so.
They were too far away to hear, but the Bronze Skull Beast could probably guess what they were shouting.
As the humans drew ever closer, the Bronze Skull Beast's lips twitched again, and it shouted:
"Pass down the message: tell that human to be sensible and not be ungrateful!"
A Fifth Tier Calamity Beast that was relatively close by heard this, then stood up and roared.
The roars continued one after another.
The sound traveled to a location that the Bronze Skull Beast believed humans could hear.
Then.
The next moment.
The humans, who had initially seemed somewhat restrained, plunged straight down towards the mountainside.
