At the very beginning of the development of the Dragon Nest Tribe, Austin felt that the Fox-faced Man, Quik, seemed to have some secret.

At that time, he just thought that Quik was probably from a Great Tribe, and there was no need to get to the bottom of it. As the Dragon Nest Tribe gradually expanded and all sorts of affairs increased, Austin put it out of his mind.

Unexpectedly, one day, Quik, under the collusion of Vini, came to Austin to confess.

According to Quik, he came from the core of the Forest Land and once served the Beastman Royal Court.

Of course, he was just a nameless low-level soldier, like the Beastman Armor in a background story.

However, with his wit, he managed to gain quite a decent status among the lower-ranking beastmen.

A role similar to a flattering follower of a Beastman army captain.

However, it was this role that led Quik to accidentally discover some core secrets of the Beastman Royal Court during an unexpected event.

He disguised it well later on and wasn't found out.

But not long after, the Beastman army to which Quik belonged received orders from above to leave the core area and go to search the Outer Domain of the Kawa Great Forest for some strange large-eared creatures, namely elves.

Now it seems that the mission of the army Quik belonged to back then was to search for the remnants of the Elf Kingdom that had escaped years ago.

Unfortunately, after a thousand years, the traces left by the Elf Kingdom's escape had long disappeared without a trace.

In the vast region of the Kawa Great Forest, trying to find their traces was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And Quik's army, likely due to a one-in-a-million chance held by the pure-blooded Beastmen of the Beastman Royal Court, was not very prioritized. Ever since the army left the core area with the mission, they never received any supplies or support.

The Royal Court's army searched outward, and the perilous Forest Land continued to inflict heavy casualties on the army, until during an attack by a swarm of bone ants, Quik fled in panic, getting separated from the Royal Court's army.

Later, Quik met Rodney, and a series of events began.

Austin wasn't much interested in the arduous experiences Quik went through during the search.

What truly shocked Austin and made him plan to overthrow his previous plans and personally join the war against the Beastman Royal Court was the secret Quik revealed about the Royal Court!

An earth-shattering secret!

The Beastman Royal Court might possess a method of traveling across worlds!

And moreover, it might very well be the Doomsday Plane they were entering, from where the undead zombies originated!

Being a native of this world, Quik certainly wouldn't know what a Doomsday Plane is.

All this, Austin deduced from Quik's speech.

According to Quik, a Beastman friend he made at the Beastman Royal Court was a guard at a valley warehouse.

During a casual conversation, Quik's Beastman friend boasted in front of him, using some bizarre items from the valley warehouse as talking points, like an iron horse that roars when drinking pungent water, some strange iron bars that automatically spray fire and cause death, and in his fear, he also leaked words like "resurrected from death, with rotting flesh-covered moving corpses."

Quik couldn't understand those bizarre "magic items" at all, but he understood that within the Beastman Royal Court, there was an enormous colossal decayed soldier army.

According to that Beastman friend, each colossal decayed soldier was hundreds of meters tall, looking like a mountain from afar.

These colossal decayed soldiers gathered together, forming an Iron Wall Great Wall guarding the Royal Court. When needed, these colossal soldier troops would break through the sealing rock layers outside, delivering a disaster-like blow to the enemies.

Quik was shocked by the Royal Court's secretive power and also feared being implicated, hence he proactively reduced contact with that Beastman friend.

Later, it was heard that the Beastman friend encountered an accident and died in a mission.

Feeling cold-hearted, Quik focused more on hiding himself and only left the core area when dispatched to search for the remnants of the Elf Kingdom.

Although Quik was merely reiterating his Beastman friend's words, Austin's scales almost stood on end.

Despite lacking concrete evidence, his innate intuition told him,

The Beastman Royal Court might truly possess a method to travel to the Doomsday World and obtain certain items from it!

The undead zombies might actually be real zombies!

It was precisely this deduction that stirred within Austin a strong urge to explore the core area.

If the Beastman Royal Court indeed had a method to travel to the Doomsday World.

Then, using that method, could he return to the world of his past life?

Even now no longer human, Austin still longed to go back and see his homeland.

Moreover, most importantly, the ability to freely travel worlds almost meant a chance of transcendence!

It was only with great difficulty that Austin managed to suppress his urge.

"It's not the time yet, various legendary beings, possibly even the Divine, are watching this war. It's not my time to get involved yet."

Even if he went, the results he wanted might not be attainable.

Competing in front of so many Great Divine Power users, Austin wasn't sure he'd have the protagonist's aura, and be the final winner.

Nevertheless, though he pressed down the notion, a seed had already deeply taken root in his heart.

The war in the core area, he would ultimately get involved.

This required thorough preparation, but fortunately, there were still likely a few years before the final decisive battle.

Austin began to organize his thoughts.

"Traveling the Doomsday World... I wonder what method they used to achieve this. If it's true that they can travel and bring back certain things, perhaps that groundbreaking explosion was a nuclear bomb."

His thoughts rapidly churned in his mind.

Information, Austin needed information that could help him make a judgment!

All of this was just his speculation after all.

Everything Quik knew had been uncovered, who else might know about the Beastman Royal Court?

Suddenly, Austin thought of the Elf Kingdom.

Perhaps the Elf Royal Court, which made an ancient alliance with it, might know something.

"According to Quik's words, it seemed apparent that the Beastman Royal Court only decided to seek out the remnants of the Elf Royal Court about eight or nine years ago. That period coincides with the initial emergence of the undead zombies, and the mystery man took something essential from the Beast God Divine Kingdom to maintain the kingdom... All these changes seem to have occurred around that time period."

Numerous thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind, and Austin frantically sorted through this information mentally.

"In that case, perhaps something happened during those years that put immense pressure on the Beastman Royal Court, prompting them to try various methods of self-rescue. At that time, it's possible that the Legendaries had already decided to overthrow the pure-bloods' Beastman Royal Court established in the core, and began various probes and actions."

"Only this could drive those pure-blooded Beastmen to such frenzied action."

But why do they want to recover the remnants of the Elf Royal Court?

Could it be that the Beastman Royal Court still hopes the Elf Royal Court will uphold that so-called ancient alliance?

The Elf Kingdom must have secrets.

Some secrets that could enhance the Beastman Royal Court's power, otherwise, in such a crisis, the Royal Court wouldn't recall the Elf royals they'd betrayed millennia ago, and even expend efforts searching for them.

For the Beastman Royal Court, the remnants of the Elf Kingdom are of such importance, and there's also that ancient alliance from long ago...

The Elves, perhaps, hold some insights into the Beastman Kingdom's cross-world travels.
