Pandora World, deep within a certain underground cave.
This is where the Pawas gather, and it's the last bit of green in this world.
At the center of this underground cave, an erald energy crystal radiates a gentle glow, worshiped as if it were so kind of totem.
Within the range of this glow, the petrification caused by the stone virus is warded off.
The surviving Pawas rely on this scant glow, coupled with artificially generated sunlight, to plant the last green plants in this small cave.
"Are these the last mbers of your race?"
Running in the form of a chanical Nine-tailed Fox, Wuhua could not conceal her astonishnt upon seeing this cave.
Before coming to Pandora World, Wuhua had repeatedly overestimated the survival difficulty of the Pawas, yet she still underestimated the lasting impact of the Godslayer Civilization.
Without needing an exact count, just by scanning the area of this underground space, Wuhua could ascertain that there would be no more than a thousand Pawas able to survive here.
This ans that the entire Pandora World might only have a few hundred of these natives left.
"Yes, you could say that."
Following alongside a group of Pawas near the Steel Worm, the leader, Quechua, spoke calmly.
"When the Godslayer Civilization invaded this world, our Gods took a group of elites and left this world."
"When we chose to fight back against the Godslayer, over ninety percent of the Pawas across the world were wiped out."
"When the stone virus spread, a significant portion of Pawas chose to voluntarily accept the infection just to survive."
Even while recounting the past hardships of his race, Quechua's tone was as composed as if he were recounting the history of another race.
"If Ashoron had not insisted on seeking external help, bringing a glimr of hope, you might have seen even fewer Pawas this ti."
Upon hearing this, even Chidan couldn't help but glance sideways.
"Haven't you considered leaving this world altogether?"
Chidan's voice was deep and resonant, echoing the question Wuhua and A ng wanted to ask.
Given that there are so few people and a technology to leave this world had been developed, why not simply take the remaining mbers and leave this world together?
"Of course, we thought about it."
Quechua continued his unique Pawa way of moving forward while not ignoring Chidan's question.
"But if we leave this world, where can we go?"
"The Divine Fall Realm that Ashoron described is also a world full of war and chaos."
"Let's not even discuss if we could take root and survive in that world…"
"Do you think we, with our small numbers, are qualified to remain in a world full of Demigods?"
These words imdiately made Chidan and the others realize their oversight.
Perhaps the Pawas did develop ships that could navigate the void, but in the end, only Ashoron's ship managed to return to this world.
This ans the Pawas didn't have any alternatives.
.........................................................
Three days later, in the remaining Pawa settlent.
After deeper interactions, Wuhua and her Arms Dealer trio realized that the survival conditions of these Pandora World natives were far worse than they'd imagined.
Even in this base under the shroud of erald energy crystals, infected by the stone virus continue to appear occasionally.
At these tis, the special vines planted in their territory move like living creatures, tightly binding those infected individuals.
This is a specialty of Pandora World and one of the reasons Wuhua was willing to trade with the Pawas.
"Weaponized plants… or more precisely, the possibility of 'plant vitalization.'"
Watching the vitalized plants capable of automatic targeting and attack, Wuhua's eyes flashed with contemplation.
Ascenders in the Mountain and Sea Realm generally possess the ability to exorcise and control spirits.
The Nine-tailed Fox Race to which Wuhua belongs is particularly outstanding, almost pioneers in this path.
However, much like how the Skeletons popularized Implant Technology at a common biological level,
in the Mountain and Sea People, the Nine-tailed Fox Race has always been committed to extending "Exorcism and Demon Control" abilities to individuals below Ascenders.
There's no need to practice the true Exorcism and Spirit-Controlling Techniques, nor is there a need to ascend the Ascension Ladder.
The Wise n and Prophets of the Nine-tailed Fox Race hope to develop a technology akin to "implants
