"We need to move."
"We don't have much time left."
"They've all been deployed, but one or two of them have been destroyed."
"The losses are within the normal range."
In an underground space, a group of Primordial realm experts that shone with golden light gathered together as they discussed the recent events.
This was not the underground space where they had communicated with the creatures of the church. Instead, it was a different one.
However, even if it was a different one, there would still be creatures spying on them.
"They seem to be talking about the recent events." The Scholar stood behind a crystal pillar. She could see the Primordial realm experts and hear what they were saying by sticking her head out.
She had come here because the Inca insects had teleported her away earlier. Teleporting a single, small object like the Scholar had a relatively higher chance of being teleported to these secret places.
For some reason, perhaps even the small protectors responsible for the teleportation did not know why, but no matter what, the Scholar was able to obtain some information from these Primordial realm experts.
The scorpion had been teleported to who knew where. Sometimes, the location would be different, but without it, the Scholar felt slightly more peaceful.
"Keep activating them. Activate them all. We need to use everything we have to ensure that we don't fail."
The golden Primordial realm experts were clearly very excited. The Scholar also discovered that the thing they were talking about was the structure she had seen in the silver swamp.
This was because the Primordial realm experts were looking at a three-dimensional image. They could see huge structures bursting out of the ground, rapidly rising up from the ground.
There was a world map beside the image. There were lights everywhere on the map. These were the locations where they had activated the structures.
The Primordial realm experts had already activated these structures in various parts of the world. Many of the structures vanished as soon as they appeared, which meant that they had been destroyed by the insects.
Perhaps because there were many of them, the Primordial realm experts did not care too much about the destroyed structures. Instead, they continued to activate more and more structures until they constantly flickered in every region of the world map.
"Very good. The preparations are complete," said a Primordial realm expert, "We can activate them at any time."
"Do we really have to do that?" Another Primordial realm expert asked, "We can still use our full strength to protect our world."
"But we've never seen creatures that fight to the death when they can flee," said the first Primordial realm expert. "There has never been a civilisation like that in this world. We don't have to keep fighting. We have to retreat before we suffer even more losses."
They really want to run.
The Scholar had heard Cryopteris translate some of the contact languages for him. Cryopteris believed that the Primordial realm experts in the meeting were probably discussing escape.
Here, the scholar heard the Primordial realm's words accurately. In that case, they did indeed want to leave. They did not want to fight anymore. The buildings seemed to be the key to their escape.
Although the buildings were constantly being destroyed by the swarm, they did not care. Perhaps it was because they only needed to raise the buildings and activate them.
"We're going to a place far, far away." At this moment, the Primordial realm expert spoke again, "We'll go to a place where neither the transpirators nor anything else can find us. We'll continue to grow there and return once we're powerful enough."
"That's right, we will continue to live."
The Primordial realm experts in the surroundings were clearly very excited. As it seemed, none of them objected to the idea of fleeing.
"Then, let's begin the activation."
A Primordial realm expert suddenly moved. It took a few steps back at first before charging towards the 3D image.
Although they didn't know why it was doing this strange thing, and they didn't know how it was going to escape, the scholar thought that maybe they should stop it.
Bang!
"Arghhhhhh!" With a small explosion, the Primordial realm expert who originally wanted to charge towards the projection suddenly rolled to the ground. Afterwards, he rolled around in great pain.
"You're here."
The other Primordial realm experts ignored their companion who was rolling around in pain. Instead, they quickly looked towards the Scholar. Golden light illuminated the Scholar's face. The Scholar knew that he had been discovered.
"Do you want to flee?" The Scholar stood out from behind the pillar and asked the golden Primordial realm experts.
"You know very well," said a Primordial realm expert. "But that's meaningless now. You won't be able to find us. We'll only be able to meet again very soon."
"However, since you're here, I want to discuss some things with you," said the golden Primordial realm expert, "What do you represent?"
"What do I represent?" The Scholar was taken aback by the question. Afterwards, he asked, "What do you mean?"
"We know that the races that attack us are not the same," said the Primordial realm expert. "There are many races that attack us, but apart from one, there are very few of them."
"We also understand the races. What do they generally do? Some of them are spies like you, while others mingle with large groups to do some simple tasks or do nothing at all," said the Primordial realm expert, "We understand most of their uses."
"But it's just you. We don't understand you."
"You don't understand me," said the Scholar, "Won't you know once you see me? I'm a machine, an intelligent machine. I can hide, and I'm made of materials that can avoid your detection."
"No, you're not just a machine," said the Primordial realm expert. "We've heard about you in the past. Your world has many races. The transpirators didn't tell us everything. There are some very powerful things among you."
"That's what we heard recently," said the Primordial realm expert. The Primordial realm expert said, "As a result, we began some investigations on you without you knowing, and we discovered something."
"You're connected to a very distant place. You're not some machine controlled by an intelligent core," said the Primordial realm expert, "And most importantly, there's more than one connected to you."
"There's more than one."
"We've investigated carefully," said the Primordial realm expert, "There's a very ordinary one and a very special one, and it's very powerful. Perhaps it's the special, powerful creature from your world."
"The main reason why we left was because of it," Lin Sanjiu said.
