However, this ti, it ended in failure, and there wasn't even a trace.
But this didn't make the Hunter King feel any anger or helplessness; instead, he felt excitent.
"Powerful, truly powerful."
"Such a mighty being, their soul must be cast into the furnace."
"At least for hundreds of thousands of years, there would be no worries about the dual-star celestial body having issues."
He doesn't consider whether he can win, if not once, then ten tis, if not ten, then a hundred tis—as long as it can bring stability to the entire world cluster for hundreds of thousands of years, any price is acceptable.
What? Not burn himself first, but others?
The Hunter King had long been burned; he too is part of the ashes.
Of course, even if soone called him a hypocrite, he wouldn't care; as long as you're willing to be burned as fuel, even if you turn to ashes and beco a Ghost Hunter, you can curse him, and he won't get angry.
"Find, we must find this mighty being!"
Before, he could be indifferent, but now that the stability of the world cluster for decades is at stake, he has to care.
As for the other person's life, the Hunter King doesn't care; he doesn't even care about his own life, so why would he care about others' lives?
...
"Who's got nothing better to do than to bring this ss?"
Gu Shanhai felt soone was constantly probing... no, tracing his tracks and muttering behind his back.
This made him a bit uneasy in his heart, which lasted for almost half an hour before he cald down.
"Could it be the Hunter King?" Gu Shanhai couldn't help but speculate.
In terms of heavenly secrets and perception, Gu Shanhai had actually blocked most people, aning if their strength wasn't up to par, muttering behind his back wouldn't be perceived by Gu Shanhai unless they tried to plot against him, which would then be archived and not directly manifested.
This led to only the strongest Hunter King's murmurs being received by Gu Shanhai in this world, while others could not be perceived.
"Then why is he muttering about ?" Gu Shanhai couldn't help but complain, feeling it's a bit odd to be ntioned by a big guy.
"Could it be that sothing went wrong with those Ghost Hunters that died?"
Gu Shanhai knew that intercepting the ash imprint directly, if nothing happened to those thirty Ghost Hunters, that would be truly strange.
"Then in this case, muttering about is understandable... no, obviously he's targeted . For the next action, I must be cautious."
"What if I'm truly caught in a trap?"
Gu Shanhai was actually pondering what to do next.
The Hunter King indeed couldn't find him, but it's still a potential threat.
"Should I go over and make him drop dead on the spot?" Gu Shanhai thought for a mont and found the simplest solution.
"Not feasible, it might alert others, and besides, I might not really be able to kill him."
"Even Ghost Hunters are just refined ash imprints; even if the Hunter King isn't one, he's not much different."
"Killing the Hunter King won't have any effect; it would only expose . If he then uses the dual-star celestial body against , even if it doesn't harm , it would cause imasurable losses."
So losses aren't material, actions can also cause losses.
"Sigh, I'm so used to keeping a low profile, I just don't like being in the spotlight or showing up everywhere." Gu Shanhai sighed; if he really rushed over, there might not even be any danger, but Gu Shanhai preferred caution.
If there's no danger, that's fine, but what if?
It's the "what if" that we fear in everything.
If he falls, what then?
Because of these thoughts, he acts with caution.
"Forget it, hiding well is enough; as long as he can't find , everything's fine."
Gu Shanhai doesn't intend to have a frontal confrontation with the Hunter King; he has no interest in the Hunter King, so there's no need to clash.
If he can't provoke, he can certainly hide.
"Better continue researching the World Tree leaves; there's already quite a bit of progress."
Though there's not much progress, Gu Shanhai does want to proceed quickly, but sadly, it's not up to him; having leads is already quite good.
"Indeed, the best thod is still temporary isolation."
Isolation doesn't an rendering the dual-star celestial body ineffective as before; these two celestial bodies are involved in too many areas, covering the entire world cluster, and he naturally doesn't dare to ss around.
However, if the leaves of the World Tree could be temporarily isolated, they could escape the gravitational entanglent of the dual-star celestial body.
Once free from gravitational entanglent, Gu Shanhai's maneuverability greatly increases.
At least he doesn't have to worry about the impact the dual-star celestial body has on him.
The core of the plan remains the magical tides, supplented by ash imprints and Destructive Frost, with a decent success rate.
"The idea is excellent, and the feasibility is very high."
"The problem is there's no progress; completing it seems far off..."
Gu Shanhai didn't know what more he could say.
"Moreover, the more important issue is whether the Elf Clan's subsequent developnt will further change upon my intervention?"
The butterfly effect is sothing he can't stop unless he perfectly replicates everything about Simoko, including behavior and growth; however, that's simply impossible, as Gu Shanhai's disguise can only surface level, with varying facades in different settings.
"Especially since I've provoked the Hunter King; considering various circumstances, it's most suspect for the elf clan."
In terms of comprehensive combat power, this branch of the elf clan from the World Tree's leaves is definitely the most prominent, who else would you suspect?
Other world's powerhouses, no matter how strong, have their limits; they have no ans to obliterate a squad of ghost hunters, a capability only this elf clan could wield in this world cluster region.
Henceforth, the elf clan might have to face the Ghost Hunters directly.
It's truly a misunderstanding, as it wasn't the elf clan but Gu Shanhai who did it.
"Either keep a low profile, or apply for a mission to avoid trouble?"
Gu Shanhai felt the latter seed better.
Staying here, lying low has no use, the entire elf clan numbers so few; staying had no aning.
Better to run temporarily, find a small world, and focus on research.
"Alright, let's evacuate first."
"If the elf clan is extinguished by the Ghost Hunters, that's the best scenario, and I'll co back to scavenge."
"If not, then return and proceed as usual."
Gu Shanhai contemplated; irrespective of whether the Ghost Hunters attack the elf clan, he benefits.
If the elf clan is wiped out but not by his hand, as a survivor, he could justifiably inherit this Ark from afar and sail it away, without a word of opposition.
"Great, best find a small, uninhabited world... though not easy, pretty random, yet for a small world, I can't believe any civilization withstands Destructive Frost, not everyone being as unique as the Wizard World."
If a small world could withstand Destructive Frost, it wouldn't be a small world.
As for larger worlds, Gu Shanhai never considered it, not here to plunder, just seeking a peaceful place.
The civilizations in large worlds aren't extinct and can still resist, inevitably leading to connections with natives for resource collection, can't go empty-handed and waste ti, right?
Though he won't receive harsh criticism, Gu Shanhai wants to maintain his cover.
Therefore, going to an uninhabited small world is optimal.
"Better report to Noc Fu, I'm leaving soon." Gu Shanhai naturally acts promptly rather than delay.
