that question caused the room to be silent.


    hong xiang said, “every period of time, demon monsters will invade our territory. this period differs. a long time has passed since they invaded. now that they have all gone out, it should be similar. they want food.”


    “you, i, and everyone outside are their food.”


    in the long road of history, the posthumous people and saint light hall had been battling against the demon monsters.


    demon monsters treated humans as their energy to evolve. humans treated them as items to survive. they were each other’s food.


    when humans were strong, they tried to conquer the demon monsters. similarly, when the demon monsters were strong, they would attack the humans for food.


    but recently, due to the poor secret realm situation, humans found adapting harder. humans started to get weak, and they were in a downturn. they couldn’t gain an advantage in their battle against the demon monsters and could only defend themselves.


    now that they were attacking, the humans were sad and furious but weren’t surprised. although they weren’t as intelligent as humans and didn’t have an organisational structure like humans, they were intelligent.


    they would start a war when they sensed a chance.


    demon monsters weren’t humans. levels were important; the stronger you became, the smarter you became. you had control over the weaker ones, and starting a war was much easier than being a human.


    it had been long since the last invasion, so it wasn’t hard to imagine why they were attacking again.


    “i think there are two possibilities.” the saintess had considered this problem, so her thinking was clear.no?v(el)b\\jnn


    “first, their numbers have exceeded what the night demon plains can handle, so they are attacking humans to reduce their numbers. this is a way they reduce the problem of having too little living space. or some of them need to evolve, and humans are their key to evolution, so they start this race war.”


    this was something everyone could think about. this was also the main reason why they invaded in the past.


    “second one.” her voice became unnatural, “humans have no more level nine, and that level nine monster sensed it. it wants to conquer the humans.”


    everyone looked at him. was there another reason?


    ye zhongming pointed at the sky, “saint father knew this place was about to collapse. all of you knew; i also knew. there is no way that monster can’t sense it.”


    “since that is the case, will it think about starting a war to survive in this space?”


    hearing ye zhongming say that, the saintess said, “you are saying...”


    “en.” ye zhongming nodded, “i think one point you said is possible. it wants to break through and rely on its strength to break the restrictions and gain freedom.”


    “also, don’t forget that it has a simpler way to leave.”


    saint light hall and the posthumous people looked at each other and understood what ye zhongming meant.


    “but it can sense the space gate?” xia lei frowned. saint father knew because ye zhongming was noticed when his soul went to the gate of blessing. that made saint father pay attention to the posthumous people.


    but this level nine monster relied on his sense to confirm that the space gate existed.


    “that is possible...”


    saintess came into contact with the saint father the most and she understood level nine people the most. thinking about how lifeforms of that level has such an ability, she felt that ye zhongming was right.


    “that is the reason i don’t agree to give up on the secret realm.” ye zhongming saw that everyone didn’t understand, “if they came for the space gate, then we might not need to give up on the secret realm. i might have a way for everyone to retreat to earth in a better way, and we can still work around here.”


    “how do we make sure?” zai li asked.


    ye zhongming looked at his secret realm key. “we just need to try, and we will know.”
