After putting away the stone tablet, Du You glanced around briefly without saying anything and turned to leave. As for the future of these gorilla-like monsters, it had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t even have the right to care about human survival and developnt, so why should he bother with other races?
Following the direction indicated on the tablet, Du You flew in a straight path for two days before arriving.
Du You suspected whether that large gorilla had acquired its overwhelming strength precisely because of gatherings like this. After all, despite the chaotic laws of this world, all its creatures were naturally nurtured by these laws.
In this world, the native creatures didn’t specialize in tempering their bodies, making this one a rare exception. Moreover, this scenario of a large group of similar creatures living together was also sothing Du You encountered for the first ti.
No matter how it ca to be, Du You was certain this creature had learned sothing from elsewhere.
And the placent of that stone tablet there spoke volus.
Two days later, Du You, from a distance, saw the sky ahead and felt a peculiar aura. Flas were scattered across the heavens, coalescing into clusters of fiery red clouds that drifted lazily in the air.
Although these clouds looked ordinary, Du You could sense the terrifying power hidden within them. Even he might end up injured if he happened to enter them carelessly. And these clouds were definitely not just there for decoration.
Faintly, the clouds seed to form a unique resonance and pattern. It was evident they served a special purpose.
"I wonder who could put together sothing of this magnitude. The resources consud to design this place must be astronomical," Du You couldn’t help but sigh.
Just then, soone riding a beast resembling a donkey approached from behind.
Upon hearing Du You’s comnt, the man laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Brother, this must be your first ti here, huh? Have you never heard of the ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven?"
"The ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven? I’m not familiar. Can you tell about them?"
Du You remained on high alert. In this world, who knew when soone might attack out of nowhere—it was always dangerous.
"No need to be so cautious, brother. In this place, we are no longer enemies. Or rather, no one dares to make a move here—it’s against the rules." The man didn’t seem bothered by Du You’s wary deanor, at least not outwardly.
"The ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven is the sovereign of this region. I’m not entirely sure of their exact strength, but rumor has it they’ve already reached the pinnacle of the main god tier. There are very few opponents left for them in this world."
Main god? So, tier eight, Du You thought silently. In most divine worlds, tier seven is considered a True God, while anything below it is either a Fake God or a Demigod. Tier eight corresponds to the main god, while tier nine represents the Divine-King level.
This world, as it currently stood, could only accommodate tier eight entities at most. Reaching the peak of tier eight indeed ant being virtually invincible.
"So why would such a powerful entity bother setting up a place like this?"
The man casually explained, "It’s not much of a secret. Apparently, it’s for selecting and cultivating subordinates. We’re just lucky enough to reap so benefits, which is already an incredible honor."
From the man’s explanation, Du You roughly understood the situation. The ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven had set up a massive formation here to forcibly control this area. Within this domain, no one was allowed to engage in combat.
If soone wanted to fight, it had to be done in a designated location, and they couldn’t cause their opponent’s death.
Periodically, Fire Cloud Heaven hosts competitive exchanges during which everyone must select opponents of comparable strength to themselves for battle. The manifestation of laws during these fights provides benefits for all. While the combatants benefit the most from their insights, spectators nearby can also gain so understanding.
anwhile, individuals who exhibit exceptional potential and talent during these battles may be recruited under the ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven.
Refusing to join doesn’t seem to carry any negative consequences, at least not from what anyone has heard so far. On the surface, the ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven appears to have a very agreeable personality.
Naturally, Du You didn’t dare trust this entirely. After experiencing so much over the years, he knew better than anyone that people’s outward appearances could be vastly different from their true selves. This kind of duplicity was sothing Du You was painfully familiar with.
It was said that the ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven had already recruited and trained a significant number of subordinates, even reportedly elevating an individual at the main god tier to beco their right-hand ally. No matter which world they ca from, such power was undoubtedly astonishing.
With at least fifty tier-seven elites under their command, they’d be considered the prototype of a top-tier power, even back on Earth.
Leveraging this place, it seed the ruler was amassing significant benefits.
"I’ve heard the ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven initially ascended in this world, receiving imnse assistance from it. That’s why they want to give back to the living beings of this world. Honestly, since these exchanges started, there’s been far less bloodshed in this region. Plus, the land around here has begun to flourish."
"Is that so? If that’s the case, I definitely need to take a look inside," Du You said with a smile.
It seed as long as he refrained from revealing certain things, this place would be relatively safe.
"It’s a bit of a pity. We don’t have fire attributes; otherwise, the ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven likely wouldn’t hesitate to recruit us. Being under their command cos with countless benefits, I imagine."
Du You nodded calmly, "As long as you perform well, opportunities for success exist everywhere."
At the sa ti, Du You transmitted a ssage to the two sisters, "Once we’re inside, let’s proceed cautiously. Don’t reveal too much. For now, let’s disguise ourselves as ordinary tier-seven individuals, and especially make sure not to expose our Professional identities."
As a Professional, Du You was perfectly aware of the nurous adversaries Earth had made and the worlds it had offended. If his identity were exposed, who knew what would happen? This precaution had been emphasized in the booklet he obtained earlier.
Unless one held a significant upper hand in strength, it’s best not to casually reveal a Professional identity. The more public the environnt, the more critical this becos, since certain individuals are always looking to retaliate against Earth’s Professionals.
The man didn’t seem to notice anything amiss and remained hospitable, inviting Du You to accompany him.
Upon entering the area, Du You felt a shift in the aura pervading the land. The previously disordered laws seed to exhibit a faint semblance of order. Albeit, the order was strictly related to the Fla Law.
It seed the ruler of Fire Cloud Heaven intended to reshape this region.
