Chapter 884: Chapter 337: Mutual Efforts (6k)_3
As an observer, Shang Ji saw the situation more comprehensively and clearly than those who participated in the bloodshed.
Given the current strength of the Holy Paradise, the likelihood of taking action against her is not high, as the gain wouldnât compensate for the effort needed to seize the planet.
Moreover, recently, the expeditionary army has also been fighting in the world of the Holy Paradise, with both sides at each otherâs throats.
Of course, this does not completely rule out the possibility, as free will is inherently unpredictable.
If the Paradise truly harbors a consciousness, itâs possible for it to make any choice.
No one knows if the Paradise might suddenly turn and decide to attack Bai Yi, who controls the expeditionary army, as a diversionary tactic.
However, comparatively, the two pharmacists in the starry sky are more motivated to take action.
After agreeing to use the current channels to gather information, Shang Ji made a suggestion to Bai Yi.
"Your Highness, if you truly need intelligence, inquiring directly with the Medicine Alliance you established might yield unexpected results.
Although youâve managed to make a move against the forces of the two pharmacists, there must also be thoughts about them.
If you reveal that youâve been targeted, they would undoubtedly be the most anxious, and with their channels, intelligence gathering would be much faster."
Bai Yi thought about it and realized this was indeed the case.
The high-tier, who have been suppressed for so long, would definitely have the most impetus to act against the two pharmacists.
"I will consider it."
Disconnecting from the faith-based communication, Bai Yi did not immediately return to her research but instead recalled the reminder from Blood Night.
Even though it is now certain that the Holy Paradise is unlikely to take action against her, this served as a wake-up call.
She had previously never considered the Paradise as a threat, mainly due to her confidence in her own strength; a single Paradise, at least, couldnât pose much of a threat to her.
Even though the various Paradises now possess not a few Seventh Rank combat powers, she still holds equivalent intimidation power, if not more.
The other reason is that upon entering the starry sky, she discovered the Paradiseâs minimal influence over it, assuming the Paradise only engaged within the Paradise World.
Despite their mutual annexation and conflicts, the scope remains confined within the Paradise World.
But as Blood Night said, the Paradise has not clearly listed its rules, and current speculations are only based on reverse deductions of its actions.
No one can guarantee whether the Paradise will expand into the starry sky in the future.
If it were just one or two Paradises, it wouldnât be a big issue, but if the contractors within the Paradise swarm out, a large number of Transcendent beings flooding into the starry sky would certainly cause chaos.
If she is unprepared, her plans might be disrupted.
"It seems itâs time to find an opportunity to talk with the two Paradises. If the Paradise really begins to expand into the starry sky, the Lordâs Paradise in my domain will undoubtedly be on my side.
Along with the Chaotic and Fertility Paradises, we wonât have to worry about other Paradises standing against us."
Although nothing is certain yet, once things are confirmed, it would be too late; itâs better to prepare in advance.
"However, thereâs no rush. Like the threat from the Holy Paradise, compared to these Paradises that havenât shown any signs yet, itâs better to first handle whatâs directly in front in the starry sky...
Hmph, those two pharmacists, just wait until Iâm ready..."
......
The next day, in the starry sky, amid a prosperous planet
In the starry sky, high-level strong persons, especially those who have reached the 8th Rank, are entities of "gravity," as if all the resources in the starry sky would cascade towards them, naturally surrounding these strong persons.
As the base of an 8th Rank stronghold, this planet exemplifies that phenomenon.
Particularly when the owner of this planet is exceptionally adept at management, it gathers the largest wealth from the surrounding star systems.
But everything changed in recent days.
Once the busiest Star Port is now half-deserted, with numerous ships dispersing like blooming flowers towards various parts of the starry sky, with few heading into the planetâs interior.
Within the planet, once bustling cities have become much quieter; even when people can still be seen, they pass by in haste.
It seems that overnight, this planet, once synonymous with wealth, has plunged from paradise to the core of the earth.
Watching from afar as the sunset-tinted ships leave the planet, the desolation of the city below was particularly acute, and Leia, the planetâs administrator, looked upon this scene with deep sorrow.
Even though this outcome was anticipated days earlier, given the planetâs owner holds a particularly unique identityâa Pharmacist.
Despite his utmost efforts in public relations to divert the attention of the starry sky away, the matter was too significant to remove the influence, only to reduce it.
With a heavy sigh, Leia wiped the worry from his face, ensuring no trace of negativity remained before leaving the window and heading into the depths of the building.
While he may bear the burden of worry, as the planetâs administrator and a studentâs teacher, he cannot appear troubled in front of his subordinates under these circumstances.
Passing by numerous similarly concerned subordinates, Leia finally crossed several doors to arrive before a deep-set door.
