"Uh... Zhixing... Another Divine Kingdom has fallen."
"I’m not blind, I saw it."
"Do you think this Saint Master Yimiao came here to explore or for demolition? How long has it been? She’s already demolished two Ancient God Kingdoms."
"To her, is there a difference between the two?"
"You have a good point."
After witnessing the first Frost Dragon Kingdom being demolished, and now seeing the fate of the Fire Venerable Divine Kingdom, the two were no longer surprised.
It’s the Holy Master after all. Isn’t it normal for the Holy Master to do something outrageous?
Besides, the natives of the Cosmic Realm haven’t intervened, so what are these two outsiders worrying about?
Thinking of this, Bai Yu suddenly chuckled.
Then she grinned at Chen Zhixing and said, "Zhixing, don’t you find the people of the Cosmic Realm interesting? We’re causing so much chaos here, even demolishing two Divine Kingdoms, yet not only do the Watchers not stop us, but they even help clean up the mess."
Hearing this, Chen Zhixing looked up at her: "What are you trying to say?"
"I mean," Bai Yu’s eyes darted, "don’t you find this amusing? Forget about us outsiders, if the natives of the Cosmic Realm messed around in these Divine Kingdoms, what do you think the Watchers would do? Would they just stand by and watch?"
"No, the Watchers would immediately recruit them, and if they refused, they’d kill anyone who dared to do that."
"Huh? Why are they so fierce and only towards their own people?"
"Are you bored? Asking such a question."
Chen Zhixing didn’t bother to answer Bai Yu’s confusion.
Because the reason was simple enough.
They, being in the Longevity Realm, were strong, and as outsiders, their time in the Cosmic Realm was limited. The number of Ancient God Realms in the heavens was plentiful, but relying solely on the power of the Cosmic Realm’s Watchers wouldn’t yield much in terms of resources.
Rather than letting these resources go to waste, why not let these outsiders take a violent harvest, extract the essence, and leave the rest to the Watchers?
This is why True Monarch Yimiao’s violent actions weren’t stopped by the Watchers—because Yimiao’s methods brought them considerable short-term benefits.
But if ordinary people from the Cosmic Realm did the same by chance...
There are only so many spots at the top of the pyramid. If you rise, someone has to come down, and those at the top get along well; they’re not ready to give you a place yet.
So, you either accept recruitment, start from the bottom, and wait for the top bigwigs to retire.
Or, you’ll be eradicated as a thief stealing collective property.
The position is the key!
As for those resources you’ve taken... Maybe you think they’re important, but for the Watchers, they’re just over a hundred resource points—enough for a lifetime of exploitation. One more or one less doesn’t make much difference.
In fact, because you brought these resource points down from heaven, their exploitation difficulty is reduced; they should thank you.
What?
You say the Divine Format of the Ancient Gods is unique, and without it after Yimiao takes it, this world will be left without it? The Watchers wouldn’t accept that?
The Divine Format is just a carrier of rules, like a lake formed by confluences of rivers.
Even if you take all the water from the lake once, it doesn’t stop the rivers from continuing to flow here. Although there will be a temporary loss, soon the flowing rivers will form a lake of the same scale in the same place.
The Divine Format follows the same principle.
Yimiao taking the Divine Format may inflict minor harm on the world’s overall balance, but it’s like a mosquito bite—if there’s no itch or swelling, you might not even notice such harm.
So why should the Watchers risk their lives to prevent her over this so-called harm?
Instead, those ordinary beings from the Cosmic Realm, although smaller and causing less damage, are inherently a cell in the Cosmic Realm’s body. If ignored, what if they turn cancerous?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhixing suddenly recalled a history book from his past life mentioning an Old Witch who once said, "Better to yield to foreign powers than to domestics."
Back then, Chen Zhixing often joined in the criticism.
Now thinking about it, she was truly keen, taking selfishness to the extreme and even daring to articulate it openly!
"The more you understand the essence of this world’s workings, the more you despair at the corrupt thoughts that continually emerge."
"Hahaha, Zhixing, you’re so funny, coming up with such a saying suddenly."
"Because I feel like I’ve been stained too."
Bai Yu: "???"
Feeling offended!
"Chen! Zhi! Xing!"
"Go, go, go, mind your own business. Instead of arguing with me, you’d better keep an eye on Yimiao, don’t let her come and stir up trouble with us!"
"First, explain to me what you mean by being ’stained’? Who stained you? Do you feel like you’ve become dirty or something?"
"..."
...
Sometimes, the core rules of the world’s operations are just so chilling.
