Lu Yuan unveiled the secret, leaving the Strangers a bit embarrassed.
Ultimately, it was the Old Snake Man who broke the silence: [Since you've figured it out, I won't hide it from you. We can indeed influence the [Monsters], possessing no small degree of control, but it comes at a cost.]
[Throwing the city out violates the [Monsters'] own will. We would have to forfeit our lives to have a chance at succeeding.]
[This place cannot fall, at least for now, so we can't help you.]
So that's how it is!
Lu Yuan declared: [Then there's no need. I am not someone unreasonable. Seniors, there's no need to feel embarrassed.]
The Strangers sighed helplessly: [We've been drifting aimlessly for so long, our lives have no value. Death means nothing to us… But the Ninth Epoch of Pangu Continent still needs us alive.]
[If humans lack the ability to protect themselves, we will only stand by and watch.]
They had witnessed too much separation and loss, even the annihilation of entire Epochs.
