With that perspective, Polo Ye seemed to understand, though a thought struck: "Then Lord of the City, if Shiz’s bloodline descendants indeed encounter trouble, would you also act against me?"
After a low chuckle: "Guess."
Polo Ye seemed to understand something and said a bit aggrievedly, "Before, I thought that the Lord of the City had sent a Divine Thought because he was worried about me. Now it seems, I misunderstood—whoosh, whoosh, I’m still not important enough. It turns out only by becoming a Diamond Citizen can I catch the Lord’s eye."
The response was still that silent chuckle.
Polo Ye’s gloom lasted only a few seconds. Soon, its expression changed back to optimism. It stroked its smooth head with a tentacle, "Looks like I need to work hard, I will reach Diamond Citizen status soon! Let’s start by completing this mission first!"
Polo Ye reoriented the target’s position.
It wasn’t long before Polo Ye detected a familiar fluctuation, "Whoosh, I’ve found Deep Space... it seems to be possessing a dirty Low-level Monster this time, such a strong smell of decay. Whoosh? Strange, isn’t Deep Space supposed to hate decay the most? How could it possess such a monster?"
Polo Ye didn’t quite understand the exact situation on Deep Space’s side, but once it pinpointed Deep Space, finding the target became much easier.
"I wonder if Deep Space has stopped the target from harming the Bloodline descendant. We’ll go have a look—whoosh, let’s go!"
Polo Ye shouted its slogan loudly, and with a gentle flick of its tentacle, it bounced out a large section of empty space-time distance like a gentle wave of putty.
However, just as Polo Ye was about to continue forward, the voice of the "Lord of the City" suddenly rang out: "Wait."
Polo Ye hadn’t reacted when a powerful Mind Essence suddenly descended, attempting to take over the control of its body.
Polo Ye could resist, but it didn’t, and naturally welcomed the descent of the Mind Essence.
As the Mind Essence descended, Polo Ye’s expression became increasingly composed. Although its appearance remained a pink little octopus, it no longer gave off a "cute" feeling but rather gloom and obscurity.
The Polo Ye possessed by the Mind Essence did not continue forward but instead turned to look towards the distant Void.
It silently stared for tens of seconds, without a word.
After a long while, the Mind Essence disappeared, and Polo Ye regained control of its body.
It curiously asked, "Lord of the City, what just happened? Whoosh?"
"... It seems that someone is peeping from a distant place."
"In the Void? Whoosh?"
"I can’t be sure, it seems to be in the Void, but also seems not..."
Polo Ye speculated, "Could it be the Observer secretly watching?"
"No. Although I couldn’t find any signs of the other party, my mood inexplicably feels a bit excited." The originally deep male voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Polo Ye’s expression paused for a moment, then quickly realized: "The Lord of the City’s meaning is, a mystical creature in the Void?"
The only thing that could excite the City Lord of Phantom Spirit City, was a mystical creature.
Yes, the Mind Essence possessing Polo Ye was indeed a strand of Gluz Deward’s Divine Thought.
"Probably," Gluz Deward’s Divine Thought said softly.
Polo Ye: "Should we find it and bring it into the city?"
"Forget it, the creatures in the Void that can excite me are countless. Many existences that even my true self can’t handle, let alone just a Divine Thought." Gluz Deward’s tone was slightly regretful. The more special the existence, the more it excited him. He had a vague feeling that this mystical creature peeping from the Void was probably very special, as it could excite him from such a remote distance, indicating the other’s extraordinary nature.
If it could truly be brought into Phantom Spirit City, he would be excited enough to start a citizen celebration.
But, as wonderful as the fantasy is, one must face reality.
The other party could sense Polo Ye from such a remote distance, suggesting its strength was also extraordinary. Creatures that could survive in the Void were inherently difficult to deal with, not to mention strong ones.
Even the true form may not be able to deal with it, let alone a Divine Thought, so it’s best to accept reality.
Gluz Deward: "We’ve already been discovered. If the other party bears malice, they might come quickly. Head to the Southern Domain first; with the suppression of the World Will, the other party won’t easily come in, and they might not even find the entrance to the Southern Domain in the interlayer."
Polo Ye nodded: "Whoosh, whoosh, understood!"
Without paying further attention to the peeper in the Void, Polo Ye transformed into a pink arrow and disappeared into the pitch-black void space, entering the boundless interlayer.
...
On the mist-covered sea.
Angel relayed his encounter with the Observer in the Mind Ribbon.
Although Kanter didn’t respond immediately, Angel knew from the scattered feedback from Ferro that they probably heard it too.
Nis: "I didn’t expect the person Ferro encountered before to be an Observer. Observers are pretty good, at least there’s no need to worry about them veering towards the Laboratory."
Angel: "Observers won’t interfere with the Southern Domain’s affairs, so we can put that aside for now. But the situation mentioned by the Observer must be taken seriously. If Phantom Spirit City indeed dispatched a powerful Extraordinary Life to the Southern Domain, we had better swiftly leave the vicinity."
Undoubtedly, distancing ourselves is the best strategy.
It would be terrible if we were inadvertently affected because we were nearby.
Nis also agreed with Angel’s view. What they needed had already been acquired, and leaving now wouldn’t incur a loss, but Ferro and Kanter were still in a standoff over there.
"Ferro, can you hear me?"
Because Ferro had given a brief response earlier, Nis thought about it and decided to try contacting Ferro first.
"I heard your conversation, and I also agree with Angel, but it seems Lord Ruye has shielded the Mind Ribbon, and I can’t approach right now," Ferro said swiftly.
Nis frowned slightly, "What’s going on with you guys? Hasn’t Lord Ruye subdued No. 03 yet?"
Ferro was currently navigating through wave after wave of giant waves, trying to get closer to the center of the battlefield, but the waves were too large, and the energy impact was very strong, forcing Ferro to retreat step by step.
As he retreated, Ferro also spoke in the Mind Ribbon, "No. 03 seemed to have consumed something before and now has a form similar to a Treant, its strength suddenly increased dramatically."
