"Astronomer, with each major Holy City dispatching Destruction Level beings to fend off the catastrophe, is it not inappropriate for us, the Supreme Court, as the top human force, to remain silent?"

The Supreme Court.

Alone in a small world.

Here, there is no distinction between day and night, with everlasting brilliance illuminating everything in a Divinely manner.

In a hall shrouded in a hazy golden glow, Zuo Qing spoke.

As someone who personally experienced the catastrophe that erupted in the Thirteenth District, even after returning to the Supreme Court, he remained highly attentive to the developments there. In reality, it wasn't just him; anyone aware of the disaster had their attention drawn there.

After all, who could turn a blind eye to a catastrophe of such scale, capable of easily swallowing the lives of millions of humans?

Within the hall, an elder, unusually not clad in the Supreme Court's attire, was meticulously organizing books in front of him with extremely gentle movements, fearing that any carelessness might damage the precious items.

Without lifting his head, he said softly, "You see, you're getting anxious again."

In the face of the Astronomer's composure, Zuo Qing felt as if something was stuck in his throat.

During the great cleaning campaign, he had slain many bloodthirsty and cruel Non-human Aliens.

And in the Thirteenth District, he had fought side by side with the Conservative Faction of Non-human Aliens.

His state of mind had already begun to change.

However, upon returning to the Supreme Court and reporting the catastrophe, there was no response, shaking his inner convictions.

Because.

Even the Evolution Divine Teachings had appeared to resist the disaster.

Yet the Supreme Court had shown no action at all, so what right did they have to judge those Non-human Aliens defending humanity against the catastrophe?

Seemingly sensing what Zuo Qing was thinking, the elder gave a faint smile and said softly, "People sometimes like to gauge the world from their partial perspectives, which can easily lead to biased conclusions."

"Standing on one side of the sea, only seeing the tip of the iceberg, without knowing the undercurrents beneath."

"I'm not blaming you for this, because I too went through that process."

"Think carefully, among the orders from the Holy City's high ranks, is there something you overlooked?"

Upon hearing this.

Zuo Qing was left baffled, looking at Jia Ran beside him with some confusion.

Jia Ran was equally puzzled, repeatedly pondering over the orders from the Holy City's high ranks.

The order was very brief, only a few words.

Rate below Catastrophe Level…

One world is on the path to extinction…

Isn't it straightforward? What's so unusual about it…

Oh, wait!

As if a flash of inspiration, Jia Ran seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the rating is incorrect?"

Hearing this, the elder finally lifted his head and cast a look of appreciation.

"Seeing this is already quite impressive."

"The rating can be argued both as correct and incorrect."

"Imagine, a Catastrophe Level being only has a slight grasp of the Heavenly Dao, and now, with a disaster involving the extinction of a Heavenly Dao, how could the rating be below Catastrophe Level?"

"All things strive for salvation; even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. With a world's extinction, even if its Heavenly Dao is weak, the force it unleashes to preserve itself is beyond your imagination."

"The hundreds of Destruction Level beings you see heading to the frontlines to fend off the disaster is just a façade. In reality, the true battle has already started where you cannot see, and it includes our Supreme Court's high ranks."

"One might even say those Destruction Level beings sent out are merely cleaning up the outskirts of the battlefield."

"The reason for rating it below Catastrophe Level is that there's considerable confidence among the human high ranks that they can contain the real terror and prevent the release of force above Catastrophe Level."

With these words.

Zuo Qing and Jia Ran felt as if their minds were about to explode.

They could never have imagined that their actions in the Thirteenth District were so insignificant, and even those Destruction Level beings they held in high regard were merely small fry.

For a moment, their feelings were incredibly mixed.

They were joyful to be united for humanity, yet also seeing it as tragic and pitiful.

Just the aftermath of the battlefield left most people in despair...

Instantly.

A deep sense of powerlessness seemed to shatter their past pride into pieces.

Seeing this, the elder offered words of comfort: "You don't need to be so discouraged. After all, you're still young, and there's hope for you to reach higher levels. Actually, these matters shouldn't even be discussed with you. In normal circumstances, everyone performing their duties is the ideal state."

"It's just that, if I didn't clarify it, I was afraid you'd become stubborn like Pei Jing, going down a dead-end."

Upon hearing the mention of Pei Jing by the Astronomer, Zuo Qing and Jia Ran couldn't help but feel curious, as they had spent some time in the Ninth District and were naturally familiar with this legendary figure.

"Rumor has it he was part of a Holy Sanctuary Family, and after breaking away, he settled in the Ninth District. Can you tell us the specific reason?"

The elder glanced at these curious souls and chuckled helplessly, "You guys..."

"It seems this trip has impacted you quite a bit."

"However, it's no secret, so there's no harm in sharing."

"In the Extraordinary World, there have been several explosive periods of Extraordinary development, the most famous being the Era of Forging All Laws, where every Transcendent unreservedly shared their knowledge of the Mysterious Path for the world to comprehend."

"That era produced several Supreme Saint Masters."

"But now, with the increasing number of Transcendents, more Mysterious Paths are being discovered. Hence, Pei Jing, being headstrong like you, without seeing the full picture, wanted to recreate the Era of Forging All Laws and inevitably faced a big setback."

"Isn't that a good thing for humanity?" Jia Ran asked, puzzled.

The elder shook his head, "It's good for humanity, but not necessarily for those leading Holy Sanctuary Families."

"In humanity's rocky journey forward, extraordinary helmsmen occasionally emerge, but as long as the ship can stay afloat, no helmsman wishes to be replaced."

"These helmsmen have reached such levels of arrogance, believing themselves to be the world's Savior."

"Above the heavens and below the earth, who else but me."

"Besides, resources are always limited. Let's take you, Jia Ran. Would you share resources with Zuo Qing due to his slightly superior talent, allowing him to quickly reach Destruction Level?"

Jia Ran glanced at Zuo Qing beside her.

Then slowly shook her head.

Though Zuo Qing currently overshadowed her, who's to say who might be stronger in the future?
