In the deepest part of the Lion King Temple, upon hearing Xiao Jing's concerns, the other strong members present also furrowed their brows, with a heightened alertness in their eyes.

"Don't worry, if this guy was still connected to the 'Ruins Returner', wouldn't he have been discovered by other 'Corrosions' long ago over the millennia?"

"No, to be more precise, from the very beginning, even if this guy hid within the White Knight, he would have been detected by the 'Ruins Returner' at the first instance, how could he escape capture smoothly?

Leo Ray had evidently considered this point a long time ago, and he spoke with confidence, "Hence, it's not difficult to deduce that this guy already figured out a way to sever the link with the 'Ruins Returner' when deciding to flee the depths of the ley lines."

"Lord of the Human Clan, you indeed have some cleverness."

After a moment, the 'White Knight' slowly spoke, "Indeed, although it cost me dearly at the time, I eventually succeeded in severing the connection with the 'Ruins Returner' and will no longer be found."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency."

Leo Ray smiled slightly and asked, "We've talked for quite a long time, may I know how to address Your Excellency?"

"Lord of the Human Clan, you need not attempt to draw closer to me."

The 'White Knight', still expressionless, responded, "I already mentioned earlier that the Great Catastrophe will certainly occur, and there will be no intersection between you and me. Although I have left my kind, I am still a 'Corrosion'. This will never change."

"Your Excellency, I believe you've misunderstood something. From the very beginning, I never intended to become friends with you."

Leo Ray maintained a gentle smile and said, "But as you said, we are on the same path, both seeking the long-hidden truth of this world. As fellow travelers on a rugged road, is it not a natural thing to ask each other's names?"

"Well, but I have no name. Under the coordination of the 'Ruins Returner', 'Corrosions' do not need names to fulfill their roles."

The 'White Knight' furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, and ultimately spoke, "But you may call me Seeker."

"Seeker? A long road ahead, indeed fitting for our current situation."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, then immediately said, "Then, Seeker, since you can see the memories of the White Knight, you must have already heard of the Battle of the Dragon Nest. At that time, your kind became a pawn for a certain member of the Dragon Clan and parasitized many giant dragons."

"I believe you have misunderstood something, Your Excellency. We 'Corrosions' could never be manipulated by anyone, especially those 'Purple Corrosions', who are the most cunning existence."

Seeker remained calm, saying, "Though I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's easy to guess that they might have only let that giant dragon temporarily gain a small portion of the 'Ruins Returner's' power, that's all. As for what cooperation they reached with the giant dragon's mastermind, that remains unknown."

"So the power of the 'Ruins Returner' can be shared?"

Upon hearing this, both Leo Ray and the other strong members present furrowed their brows tightly.

This undoubtedly means that the mastermind behind Poluso is evidently closely related to these 'Purple Corrosions'.

"I hope for now, Scarlete won't be further troubled by the mastermind, because currently I can't reach the depths of the Outer Region where the Red Dragon Territory is located, not even Ice Stone City can be reached."

Leo Ray took a deep breath and thought so in his heart.

"Even if one gains the power of the 'Ruins Returner', it's only a very small part, because no strong member of the Ten Thousand Clans can bear or touch the consciousness of the 'Ruins Returner'. Once attempting to overstep, the best outcome is falling into madness like that unfortunate old wandering poet."

Seeker folded his arms and added.

"But why would those 'Corrosions' choose to cooperate with the mastermind? The goal of 'Corrosions' is to destroy everything, isn't it quite contradictory?"

Xiao Jing tilted her head, her fair face full of confusion.

"It is not contradictory. The enemy can be destroyed from the front, and still can be destroyed from the back, it's just that the means of achieving the goal differ."

Seeker glanced at Xiao Jing, responding expressionlessly, "The 'Ruins Returner', as the supreme consciousness, naturally explores every possibility to ensure the mission is accomplished smoothly."

"After all, we 'Corrosions' can currently only come here in small amounts through the ley line bursts, unable to appear on a large scale. Isn't this something you deduced? Otherwise, the Great Catastrophe would have arrived long ago, and the Ten Thousand Clans would no longer exist."

Upon hearing this, amidst the new solemn silence, our strong members simultaneously thought of the same question.

Ariel Watson did not hesitate, expressing the confusion in everyone's heart, "Seeker, Your Excellency, why can't you all come here from the depths of the magical ley lines now?"

"Isn't it evident? Because there is an exceedingly powerful Magic Restriction that separates us in the depths of the magical ley lines from here, like an insurmountable giant peak. After thousands of years of trying, we can only come here through the ley line bursts."

Seeker scoffed lightly in response, "We call this giant Magic Restriction covering the entire continent the Magic Barrier, because it is so refined that even Magic Particles find it difficult to pass through."
