Netherworld Retrograde

"It seems that the alien race civilization is not monolithic." Hao Feng, the successor of the Wanfeng Wonder, frowned as he looked at the tranquil battlefield in the distance and the approaching Wanderer legion.

The recent short yet brutal battle had explained everything. The Wanderers, who were supposed to be irrational and only know blind destruction, displayed astonishing tactical coordination in battle. Encirclement, decapitation, insertion, coupled with absolute numerical superiority, allowed them to completely obliterate the renowned thousand-strong Beastman tribe, known for their bravery and combat prowess, in such a short time.

As a warrior of Wanfeng City, the battle-hardened Hao Feng naturally saw through the surgical-like tactical coordination.

Someone is precisely controlling the Wanderers, who are supposed to be irrational!

"This is quite normal," Xia Ming, a White Stone Hero, spoke calmly beside him. He wore an immaculate scholar's robe, with a refined pair of glasses perched on his nose, appearing more like a scholar engrossed in research than a hero guarding a region.

"Although the Beastmen are collectively referred to as a 'civilization,' in reality, most of them are dispersed tribes that quickly breed and develop in certain areas. They are fierce and belligerent, prone not only to external conflicts but also infighting among the tribes. Their power is extremely scattered and difficult to control effectively," Xia Ming adjusted his glasses and analyzed calmly, "This destroyed Beastman tribe is not an isolated case. The hidden manipulators behind the scenes seem to be systematically eliminating all unstable factors to consolidate power. In their eyes, the Beastmen may be seen as those uncooperative unstable factors."

"As for the Wanderers..."

"It must be that the Night Demons have gained control over the Wanderers, as their tactical style resembles the historical data you provided," Xia Ming summarized. "They actually managed to grasp the means to control the Night Demons... yet dissection reveals no control measures, and their bodies show no interference from external Spiritual Energy..."

"Why is that?" Xia Ming fell into thought, being both the leader of White Stone City and a scholar.

He was baffled by the situation where multiple alien race civilizations could suddenly gain the assistance of the Wanderers. Cities had previously been destroyed by Wanderers, yet now they could be controlled at will?

There must be something he hadn't realized, could it be those 'outsiders'?

Using external technology to forcibly control the Wanderers?

Xia Ming delved into contemplation and calculation.

There must be a direct or indirect connection with the outsiders!

Moreover, the alien race legions also seem to have undergone some changes, are those powers brought by the outsiders?

"Speaking of which..." Xia Ming suddenly lifted his head from his contemplation, looking towards the still calm horizon, frowning, "Why hasn't the Champion arrived yet..."

He held great enthusiasm for researching the outsiders' abilities.

However, doubting the identity of the outsiders? He didn't bother much with that.

The Void Realm is vast and boundless, how could human civilization exist only in one world? What he was truly curious and longing for was that outer world, capable of nurturing such formidable beings like the Champion, it sounded more splendid and exciting.

Giant City, Forbidden Zone, Disaster Fog, Supreme, King! Each word made his heart yearn.

A beautiful yet dangerous world, he really wanted to see it.

If that 'Champion' turned out to be a scholar of vast knowledge, it would be even better. They could have an in-depth discussion on the differences between the two worlds.

Perhaps they could even unravel the reason why the Void Realm was sealed. It is said that the Champion entered this world in a civilian capacity, and that was something he looked forward to....

Hmm... if he were to find out the Champion didn't even finish university, he guessed he'd faint with anger.

In reality, upon learning that the so-called "outsiders" were not a monolith, but came from different factions, each with their own purposes, Xia Ming already had a vague notion of a bold and disconcerting guess.

These outsiders, each wielding distinct means and knowledge, supporting different factions, strengthening them, guiding them, all seemed to be aiming to achieve a specific goal.

This model inevitably reminded Xia Ming of some sort of multiplayer adversarial role-playing game.

And those beings from outside this world... are they not just like "players" participating in this game?

Using the world as a chessboard, with all beings as chess pieces?

"This guess is really... extremely unsettling." Xia Ming adjusted his glasses.

Anyone would likely feel unhappy discovering their world, their civilization might just be toyed by external existences as a game.

Xia Ming was no exception.

But unlike others who might fall into anger or despair because of this, this scholar-born hero thought more deeply and pragmatically.

What if it's all true?

What if there truly exists an external world capable of breeding Champions, possessing a more complete system of forces?

Then, would it be possible for them to enter that world in reverse?

Could a fast, stable communication channel, or even transit passage, be established between the two worlds?

Once this thought emerged, it spread like wildfire in his heart!

If it could be realized, it would be a game-changer for those human warriors stuck at the Sixth Sense Peak for years, with roads cut off due to the Void Realm being locked and unable to gain recognition for a miracle!

They would have the opportunity to access a complete advancement path, with the hope of breaking through the Overlord barrier in another world!
