Lin Ran reached out and patted Luo Qingyan's head:
"There's no need to rush things so much..."
"I've already analyzed their energy. Since they've just arrived in a strange space, it will take them at least seven days to regain consciousness..."
"We just need to find a way to deal with them within these seven days."
Luo Qingyan was taken aback:
"A way to deal with them?"
Lin Ran nodded:
"That's right, a way to deal with them..."
"There's a reason these people are called the Forgotten Ones."
"With the power of fate, they are incredibly resilient and can hardly experience true death."
"Taking them down without destroying the Disaster Crystals is not easy. We can only resort to unconventional methods."
"And if I have to destroy the Disaster Crystals... I'd feel pained!"
"Such a high-level treasure must be preserved."
Luo Qingyan was speechless for a moment:
"You are truly greedy..."
"Since you've already made up your mind, let's do as you say."
"You don't need to explain all that stuff to me, I wouldn't understand anyway..."
"Just tell me where to go, and I'll follow you."
Lin Ran chuckled and pointed at the red moon in the sky:
"Come! Look up! Look at that!"
Luo Qingyan raised her head and looked at the red moon still hanging in the sky.
Just as she was about to say that there seemed to be no difference, she suddenly noticed that out of the eighteen gray stars revolving around the red moon, only fifteen remained.
"The three missing ones are the ones you knocked down?"
"So, our goal is to knock down all the stars up there?"
Luo Qingyan felt like she was starting to understand.
Lin Ran stretched comfortably:
"More or less..."
"Once we gather all eighteen of these stars into the Divine Might Space and temporarily seal their energy flow, the true Boss behind that red moon will likely surface."
"Then, we can deal with the Disaster Crystals by starting with him!"
Luo Qingyan nodded:
"Understood..."
"So, all we have to do is round up all those guys!"
"With your Divine Might, instant kill and sealing will be a matter of a single glance."
"And with a full seven days of buffer time, it should be quite ample..."
"Shall we head out now?"
Lin Ran waved his hand:
"Not yet. I'm still considering another issue..."
Luo Qingyan was surprised again:
"You mean..."
Lin Ran pointed at the giant vortex that the three Forgotten Ones had just created and said:
"It's like this..."
"Through their connection to the Disaster Crystals just now, I discovered that besides a necessary guardian – similar to the Blood Elf just now – there's also something called the Heart of Disaster serving as the formation's core."
"This Heart of Disaster is currently lying at the very center of this vortex..."
"I haven't decided yet whether I should snatch it away."
Luo Qingyan didn't quite understand Lin Ran's meaning:
"Huh? Snatch it away?"
"If you can take it, why are you hesitating?"
"With a vast world like the Divine Might Space for storage, wouldn't more be better?"
Lin Ran sighed:
"It's like this..."
"The Heart of Disaster, serving as the formation's eye, is continuously causing disasters here."
"For example, this bizarre scene of waves without wind is a result of it."
"If the Heart of Disaster is removed, the disasters here will cease."
Luo Qingyan was dumbfounded:
"What? That's what you're worried about?"
"So, you intend to let this Heart of Disaster continue to run wild until it sinks the entire Kyushu Island?"
"Even with the current scale of tsunamis, the continuous crashing against the coast will cause massive destruction very soon..."
"If it continues to accumulate power for a while longer, who knows what kind of storms it will unleash."
"Are you planning to use the disasters caused by this Heart of Disaster to heavily damage Sakura Nation and settle old scores?"
Lin Ran coughed several times from Luo Qingyan's words:
"Of course not..."
"If I truly intended to sink Kyushu Island, it would be more reliable to summon Heavenly Condemnation Stars."
"Then, activate Susanoo and release the undead army I acquired, and Kyushu Island would be flattened in minutes."
"The reason I'm not acting immediately is that I'm afraid if this last formation eye is removed, their entire barrier will become unstable..."
"In that case, the Forgotten Ones' plan will likely fall apart."
Luo Qingyan was also speechless:
"The way you're talking... it's as if you're on their side."
"What does it matter to us if their plan fails or not..."
"You're not thinking of using their formation to further your research on array formations, and then go back to China to show off, are you?"
Lin Ran gave Luo Qingyan a light bonk on the head:
"You know nothing!"
"Firstly, I've basically deciphered their formation, and there's no need for further enhancement..."
"Secondly, the reason for doing this is to capture all the Forgotten Ones in one go!"
"They are undeniably targeting me now. If I don't seize this opportunity to completely resolve this matter, who knows what trouble they'll stir up in the future..."
"It's better to have enemies out in the open than hiding in the shadows!"
"And most importantly, we've already captured three of their troublesome subordinates, which means we're being held hostage..."
"If we don't deal with those three Disaster Crystals, are we just going to let them sleep in the Divine Might Space?"
Luo Qingyan was even more speechless:
"Isn't that simple? Just don't take them..."
"Leaving these Hearts of Disaster here isn't so bad."
"After all, the lives of those Sakura Nation people have nothing to do with us, and watching them die might even be enjoyable..."
Lin Ran sighed again:
"But the Heart of Disaster is also a rare and valuable treasure..."
"To let it slip through my fingers like this is somewhat dissatisfying."
"Especially if I can gather more Hearts of Disaster, combined with Heavenly Condemnation Stars, it might become an even more devastating national-level mobile weapon than nuclear bombs!"
"In that case, perhaps no one in the world would dare to mess with me..."
