Chapter 2208 Decision

Chapter 2208 Decision?

The ant got right to the point. "There's no reason why an ordinary Mortal like me shouldn't help a practitioner of the Divine Journey. And I wouldn't gain anything by lying to you."

"Do you gain anything by telling the truth?" Maximilian asked curiously.

"Certainly. Not earning the enmity of a group led by a Sovereign is enough to leave a Mortal in a good position." Strin commented before adding. "As much as many natives of Zocarro dislike space explorers, and some will try to make trouble for you, the vast majority don't dare to risk themselves against practitioners of the Divine Journey.

The Divine Journey is long, and there are different levels of power. But the weakest practitioner of it still has enough to terrorize entire tribes of Mortals.

In Zocarro, the highest law is the law of the strong. The weak must obey and help the strong whenever possible or necessary. I just do what I have to do and help my tribe stay out of trouble."

That was the truth. This world was much more complex than the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land. Here, beings of different strength levels would not just respect the strongest. They would truly fear the strongest, bow their heads, and act like subordinates to beings they had never seen before, just out of fear for their very existence.

Of course, some would act this way out of self-interest to gain access to stronger people. But they were the minority, and the vast majority of living beings would behave similarly to Strin.

"So what do you recommend, Strin? Is this place up ahead worth it? Or should we continue on our way to Examire?" Ruth asked when Maximillian fell silent.

"If you want to learn more about this world and return to your home planet as soon as possible, I recommend traveling to Examire. Even if you don't achieve some of your goals there, you can certainly learn a lot.

In Examire, you will have access to resources, jobs, cultivation opportunities, techniques, historical books, and even opportunities to join the great powers of my world.

On the other hand, you will have many difficulties in this place. But it would definitely be safer for you to enter this city first. You're not weak by local standards, but that wouldn't be the case if you decided to go to Examire. You won't have the same opportunities here, but you won't face the same dangers and could learn a few things.

If you plan to stay in Zocarro for a long time and aren't in a hurry, staying here for a while might not be such a bad idea". It was sincere in its advice.

Minos agreed as he nodded to Maximillian, while the others in the group sighed as they looked at the city at the base of the area before them, curious but also nervous to get to know this new place.

Minos said to Strin. "We will stay in this area for a while. Could you lead us to this place?"

Strin wasn't surprised by this decision and nodded as it led the way. "The city ahead is called Kilburn. As I said, it's influenced by one race of ants. However, there are at least 30 races living there in harmony.

Most are definitely ants, but there are other beings of related races here."

"Are all the beings in your world like you, Strin?" Ruth asked.

"Not at all. Subterranean parasites and beings with exoskeletons characterize this area we're in. But if you travel the world, you'll find beings very different from me. But there is nothing like you. So don't be surprised if they look at you like you're monsters...

I didn't mean to offend you..."

The people in the group smiled because, to them, the monsters were actually the natives of this place, especially those who looked like Strin.

"So that's it... But what about the space explorers?" Minos asked.

"There are space explorers who are said to be more or less like you. But I've never seen them in person. I've only heard reports about them." Strin explained. "That is certainly the case for most of the natives of Zocarro. As much as this is a world that has long had contact with extraterritorial civilizations, more than half of this planet is fairly close to foreigners.

It will probably take you a while to meet other space explorers until you get to Examire."

So the group continued to talk to this being as they approached the city they would be entering in a few minutes.
