King Milan smiled slightly, and after considering his words, he said:

"In fact, when we talk about the Holy Land, we have to mention the mysteries. After the summaries of our predecessors in history and my own insights over the years, I have gradually gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between the mysteries and the world."

"If magic and fighting spirit are likened to the external forces of the world, then the power of the mysteries can be understood as the original power of the world, which is an important source of the world's composition and operation. First there are various mysteries, and then there are various overflowing and diluted magic and fighting spirit."

"When we comprehend the mysteries, it is equivalent to comprehending the original power that is unique to our world. Compared with those external magic and fighting spirit, our combat effectiveness will naturally be several levels higher."

"I personally believe that the process of cultivation for extraordinary people is a process of deepening their integration with the world. As long as they follow the path of our world, the higher their strength, the deeper the mark they leave in our world. Just like the strong ones in the Saint Realm, this is the current limit. As long as they cross this threshold, their affinity with the world will increase significantly and they will be favored by the world. The mysterious power that was difficult to feel during the period of being an extraordinary person will also be more clearly revealed in front of you."

"Of course, this seems fair, and everyone can reach the top through hard work. But I'm sure you've discovered that this isn't the case in reality - many people not only have differences in the speed of comprehending the mysteries, but some people don't even have talent."

Lei Te nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Yes, why is that?"

King Milan continued, "Because the power of the origin of the world is limited, some people are favored while others are not. In other words, some people are born with a deep mark on the world, and such people naturally have a unique advantage in comprehending the mysteries. But some people's progress is quite slow."

Hearing this metaphor and insight, Lei Te suddenly had an epiphany and said:

"I see. So what this means is that... as long as the world imprint is deep enough, it is equivalent to having a higher authority, and the perception of the mysteries can be accelerated?"

King Milan was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Your summary is more concise and clear. That's right."

Why does this sound like civilians and members, and there is also an acceleration function, it smells too strong... Lei Te secretly complained, but he still had many questions in his mind, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what about the magician's spiritual power talent and the knight's fighting spirit talent? Listening to your explanation just now, they don't seem to have anything to do with the world mark."

King Milan pondered and said:

"Indeed, history has proven that there is no connection between extraordinary talents and affinity for the mystical. Some people may have outstanding extraordinary talents, but mediocre mystical talents. On the other hand, some people have poor extraordinary talents, but have a unique advantage in the mystical path. No one has figured out the specific reason for this. Some people speculate that it is because the world operates unconsciously, unlike humans, who have clear subjective consciousness. When it comes to the evolution of life, it cannot actively intervene."

Lei Te nodded in understanding, "I see... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your explanation. It really opened my eyes!"

"With your talent, you will know it sooner or later." King Milan said with emotion: "Rhett, hurry up and become a sanctuary. Don't waste your outstanding world affinity. There is not much time left for you and us..."

Hearing this, Lei Te's face became a little heavy, and he said: "Is it because of the invasion of the orcs? Our world...can't hold out for much longer..."

King Milan's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked Lei Te up and down and said, "Oh? You actually know all this? Has anyone else told you the secrets of the sanctuary?"

"I have heard about the invasion of the higher world before, because I have also read the notes left by the Holy Mage Mozaxi ten thousand years ago, and I have some understanding of the orcs..."

"Mozaxi..." King Milan thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It was him, the water-based holy mage who once had an obsession with the murlocs. I don't know if he found the murloc's artifact back then. It's a pity that all the secrets about him have been buried in the long river of history. Having said that, he did have a positive spirit of exploration into the origin of the world at that time, no wonder you know those things."

Lei Te said modestly: "I don't know much, I just know that the invasion of the higher worlds did have an impact on our world, but I don't know more. Your Majesty, the number of holy places in our world seems to be less than ten thousand years ago?"

King Milan looked at Leiter with a complicated expression and said, "I didn't want to tell you these things in advance. Since you know a lot, it's okay to reveal the facts to you, but you have to promise that our conversation today will not be known to a third person!"

"I will strictly follow this order!" Rhett said, touching his chest.

King Milan looked at Leiter, sighed, and whispered:

"You are right. The number of Saint Domain masters in our world is constantly decreasing. Even our world is declining. The invasion of higher worlds is extremely harmful. Our predecessors did not have a deep understanding of it, but we know it clearly now. Even if they just survive, they will affect the operation of the original power of our world. The longer they exist, the more serious the interference we will suffer."

King Milan said with anger: "In fact, the orcs have always been suppressed by our world, but these orcs are very talented. The world that sent them to must be much stronger than ours. So no matter how difficult it is for them to grow, they have a strong origin to support them and they have persisted."

"At this point, they are like a cancer that is difficult to eradicate. Their survival and growth will leave more and more alien marks on our world, making our world even more depressed and providing them with a more comfortable living space. This cycle will continue, and sooner or later our world will face destruction!"

Lei Te's face gradually darkened, he clenched his fists and said, "Damn it! Doesn't this mean that if we continue to delay, they will grow faster and faster, and we will grow slower and slower... until we die!"

"This is a vicious cycle!" King Milan said with a cold look in his eyes, "In fact, since we humans have learned from our mistakes and avoided civil war in the past thousand years, we have made a plan - if the situation does not improve within a thousand years, it will be time for us to fight the orcs to the death!"

At this moment, Rhett felt a chill all over. Although he knew a lot of inside information from the simulation, the effect of hearing it with his own ears was different. He could capture more details and more essential content.

Before, he was still wondering what specific ways orcs or alien creatures used to interfere with the native world?

It turns out... there is such a thing as the world's mark.

Under normal circumstances, the growth of native creatures will leave more and more marks. Although Lei Te did not know what use these marks would have on the world, it was undoubtedly a beneficial thing. Moreover, the more marks left by native creatures, the more power they would gain.

However, the invasion of alien species is equivalent to disrupting the ecology here. The alien imprints they leave behind are not only harmful to the world, but will also continue to accumulate over time until it sinks.

Although the world is not without countermeasures, the invasion of alien species will be suppressed. But the life essence of the orcs is too high. Since they dare to invade, it means that the world behind them has made sufficient calculations and preparations in advance - they can continue to grow under the suppression of the world...

At this point, Rhett suddenly thought of the elves. Perhaps the fact that the elves must rely on local life, have limited ways of existence, etc., is also inseparable from the suppression of the world?

There was silence for a few minutes.

"We really don't have much time left..."

King Milan's expression had already calmed down. "It's good that you have this determination, but at least you have to become a sanctuary to be qualified to join the official counterattack!"

"Come on...Son of the World..." King Milan looked at Rhett deeply, turned around, and with a flash of fire, he disappeared on the spot.

Leaving Leiter standing there in shock, just now... King Milan called him the Son of the World? This almost made him think that his secret was exposed.

But soon, he recalled the recent exchanges with Locke at the cold front, and the jokes between the two of them, and he suddenly realized. I guess he was heard at that time...

Rhett shook his head with a smile, but when he thought about the conversation he had just had with King Milan, his heart became heavy again and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Saving the world is a long and arduous journey..."

A day later, Leiter returned to the temporary base of the Sixth Legion.

In the hall, Ledros stretched out his arms joyfully, gave Leiter a big hug, and laughed: "So beautiful! As expected of His Majesty the King, he has extraordinary strategies. He even invited several Sanctuaries to ambush in advance and annihilated the five Sanctuaries of the orcs in one fell swoop!"

Rhett smiled without saying anything, then sat down on a bench and relaxed.

"How about we hold a grand celebration banquet at our training ground and prepare a sumptuous dinner for all the soldiers!"

Ledros was in a very good mood. He looked at Rhett and expressed his thoughts.

"I think, let's just forget it." Rhett shook his head.

“Why?” Ledros was surprised. “I have scouted the enemy situation nearby in the past two days. The orcs’ offensive has been affected. The frequency and scale have been reduced a lot. If you are worried about being attacked, we can just leave another group of people to guard!”

"On the way here, my scouts detected signs of activity by high-level orcs, and there were quite a few of them. I originally wanted to deal with them alone, but I was worried about accidents, so I decided to come back and gather more troops." Rhett said seriously.

"High-level orcs? Where are they?" Ledros's face suddenly became serious.

"Near Ice Belt Creek (17,28)."

“Do you think the two of us, plus a few soldiers, can take down this group of people?” Ledros put the celebration aside completely and began to pace back and forth in the hall, speaking with a uncertain look.

"With all the mid-level soldiers, plus Locke, we should be able to be confident." Rhett thought for a moment and gave an answer.

“Alright!” Ledros said firmly. “Speed ​​is of the essence. Let’s act now. I hope those high-ranking orcs are in ambush or on standby. In this way, we may still make it in time.”

Lei Te pondered for a moment and said, "Then you go and count the people. To be safe, I will go to the cold current camp to find Locke for support, and then we will meet at the end of the ice belt stream."

"No problem, let's do it!"

The two chatted briefly, added some details, and then left the battle hall one after another.

It took Rhett a day to advance at full speed and finally return to the cold wave defense line.

He walked along the street, preparing to go to Fortress No. 12, but he ran into an unexpected figure on the way—Hypast! Hypast was wearing a dark blue wizard robe today, with a round necklace that looked like a sapphire hanging on his chest. When he saw Leiter, he smiled and said:

"What a coincidence, Rhett. I just came out for a walk and happened to see an old acquaintance."

Leiter was slightly stunned. He did not expect to see Haipast here, but he reacted quickly and said enthusiastically: "Master Haipast, long time no see. I did not expect to see you here. Did you support us a few days ago and annihilate those Saint-level orcs?"

Hypast nodded and said, "Yes, I am one of them, but the successful completion of this operation is still attributed to King Milan. His intelligence is really excellent. He can grasp the movements of the Orc Sanctuary. I am surprised by this."

Leiter's eyes flickered. The other party's words meant that King Milan still kept the news about him secret and did not leak it to the outside world. Even Hepaster didn't know, let alone other people.

"Indeed, this news is so inspiring and boosts morale!" Leiter echoed, as if he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Lord Hypast Tower, the bloodline potion you promised me last time..."

"You are talking about the bloodline potion. The materials have been collected and the extraction step is almost completed. It is estimated that the finished product will be ready in another two years." Haipaster said with a faint smile.

"Thank you!" Lei Te nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "Master Hepast Tower, when will you leave the cold current defense line?"

"I'll leave right away. I'm here to see you for the last time." Hypast said, "I've heard about your recent performance, which is quite impressive. I'm here to tell you that in the fight against orcs, we humans are highly united regardless of our nationality. I hope you can continue to do so. Of course, you must also pay attention to your own safety..."

"I will." Lei Te said with a firm look, "But I have a request. Can you postpone your departure for half a month?"

"Postponed for half a month?" Hypast looked surprised and said hesitantly: "Have you... encountered any trouble? Or is there another reason?"
