As for Austin, Guppa really admired him.

Throughout his many years, he had never seen a Blue Young Dragon with such spirit, diligently cultivating to improve himself, comparable to some human ascetics.

Although within the Dragon Race, the bond between groups is not close, they are mostly indifferent to those not of their own line.

But at Guppa's level, he had a broader understanding of the continuation of the race.

Austin, placed among the Dragon Race, could be called a talent not seen in millennia.

With his pace of cultivation and resolute spirit.

If he does not fall halfway due to death, he is bound to become a major figure in the Dragon Race in the future.

If possible, he truly did not want Austin to get involved in this murky water.

"Senior Guppa..."

Austin pondered over his words, then slowly said:

"Senior, I mainly came here to broaden my horizons and gain experience, and I absolutely won't get involved in this chaos."

"Your own matters, you decide. I can't interfere."

"However, I should inform you of some things, to avoid you running into unpredictable dangers later on."

Guppa's face showed no expression.

But Austin's refusal was within his expectations.

The only thing he could do now was to carefully explain the current situation in the Kawa Great Forest to him.

He gazed into the distance.

His distant eyes were filled with reminiscence.

"...In the past, the war between the Arcane Council and the Divine swept across most of the Multi-universe, countless Planes were destroyed, and the bridges connecting them crumbled into ruin..."

"That great war ended in a Divine victory, but as they were severely wounded and fell into slumber, the entire continent entered a power vacuum..."

As Guppa's slow words unfolded, the history of this continent gradually came into view.

The era where Arcane Mages and the Divine shone brightly vanished, followed by major powers waging wars across the land, until the rise and fall of the Beastman Empire, the rise of humans, and the establishment of numerous Duchies...

This history, like an epic painting, slowly unfolded before Austin.

Much of this, he actually knew quite a bit, and the primary historical narrative Guppa described didn't differ much from what Austin knew,

but only this mysterious bald middle-aged man before him, who likely experienced these eras firsthand, could recount every detail without omission.

Through Guppa's narrative, Austin gained a deeper understanding of the world's history.

Then, Guppa began to explain the current situation in the Kawa Great Forest.

"If not for the war back then, whether Arcane Mages or the Divine, any party in this era would be enough to crush the entire Prime Material Plane, they were rightfully the overlords above the Starry Sky."

"Their power is beyond any doubt."

"Even as the defeated Arcane Council was destroyed and the Arcane Mage's heritage faced a severance in the time continuum, some things have inevitably been passed down."

"The rise of Mages, Alchemists, even Warriors, is intricately related to the Arcane Mages of yore."

"For these forces, originating from Arcane Mages, the pure-blooded Beastmen who inherited the Arcane Council's legacy and built an unprecedented vast Empire across the continent evidently possess an incredible allure."

"They need the forbidden knowledge mastered by the pure-blooded Beastmen to elevate and transform their transmitted knowledge."

"However, The Vatican will definitely not agree to this."

"They would never allow the Arcane Mages of old to stage a comeback, bringing the Divine above the Starry Sky back into slumber once more."

"Moreover, some ancient descendants, reactivated after the Twilight of the Divine, have also joined this war with various hidden motives, hoping to achieve some unknown aims."

"In summary, this war is a murky quagmire, impossible to discern anything clear. There are definitely strong figures of my level involved, not just me."

"So, once the great war breaks out, I won't have the energy to look after you."

"Be careful in all things."

Hearing this, Austin's expression grew grave.

It seemed this war was practically a dance of countless demons.

While guarding against enemies, he also had to be wary of his own people.

Who could laugh at the end? No one knew.

Moreover, before arriving, Austin had heard from the pure-blooded Beastmen, Tyr, that a mysterious mastermind lurking in the Core Royal Court was secretly preparing a grand gift.

Danger!

But on second thought, it didn't seem as dangerous as imagined.

The Core Royal Palace area must surely be the most fiercely contested segment.

Those hidden in the shadows with various motives would mostly focus their attention on the Royal Palace.

Because only the Royal Palace Heights would have the things they sought after.

Thus, he could take advantage of the chaos and be the first to seize a fragment of the Gate of Truth.

After all, the Plane Teleportation Array built using the Gate of Truth fragment was not in the Palace area, but rather in a relatively remote corner.

And due to the relationship with the Elf Mother Tree and the Fox-faced Man Quik, Austin's understanding of the Core area's terrain was definitely superior to others.

This would allow him to take a significant lead!

Once he acquired a fragment of the Gate of Truth, he would leave immediately; no matter how fierce the battle got, what did it have to do with him?

Just a brief contemplation, and Austin had already made his decision.

This journey, he must undertake!

Even though he hadn't thought things would be so complicated.

The Mage Alliance, Warrior Alliance, Alchemist Alliance, as well as ancient descendants hidden in the shadows, various hidden forces, and characters with hidden agendas...

It was chaotic and complex.

But precisely because of that, it gave him the chance to fish in troubled waters.

"If you're ready, let's set off."

Austin didn't delay, solemnly bidding farewell to Guppa before flying swiftly into the distance.

Since he planned to fish in troubled waters, it was naturally best to keep a low profile.

Acting alone was the best option.

As a figure akin to a major power, if Guppa appeared on the battlefield alongside Austin, it would draw countless eyes, making covert actions impossible.

Moreover, major figures enter the fray last.

Figures like Guppa, similar to major powers, would surely make their appearance at the very last moment.

And by that time, he might already have secretly acquired a fragment of the Gate of Truth and then left.

With his plans in mind, Austin quietly and swiftly flew toward the direction of the battlefield.
