Cave Refuge

If the Plane Will were not dormant or had selected a spokesperson to manage all affairs, then even if the people from otherworldly realms wished to sacrifice lives in exchange for information, they might end up receiving false intelligence.

They might even deliberately provide coordinates to dangerous zones, or offer the locations of pre-set traps as coordinates to the others.

However, the planes where the Plane Will is awake or has selected a spokesperson are essentially advanced planes; for the majority of planes like Blue Star, the Plane Will remains in a state of slumber.

Thus, under normal circumstances, the sacrificial method used by creatures like Bat Monster would usually yield accurate coordinates.

The method used by Bat Monster, an otherworldly being, to search for treasures does not work for the humans of Blue Star.

After all, the essence of the plane that is contained within the humans of Blue Star belongs to Blue Star; even if they are sacrificed, for Blue Star it's just a transfer from the left hand to the right, hence such a sacrifice cannot succeed.

Of course, once the Plane Transmission Channel opens up, humans can also capture creatures from other dimensions and bring them back to Blue Star for sacrifice.

This method of sacrifice is not considered a bug exploit; it is 100% effective. However, the coordinates obtained through this sacrifice will only be the most recent location of the treasure.

As for whether the treasure at the specific location obtained by the sacrificer already has an owner, the Plane Will does not provide any hints.

After all, to the Plane Will, all creatures or items present on the Plane are considered the property of the Plane. Whether the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures fall into someone's hands, as long as they are not taken away from the Plane, whether they are used or stored, it makes no difference to the Plane Will.

This leads to the possibility that even when the Plane Will provides the exact location of the treasures, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the hints may be unclaimed or may have already been collected by someone else.

However, to the invaders from a Different Dimension, whether the items are unclaimed or have become someone's collection, it is basically the same.

Those Bat Monsters who invade Blue Star, upon seeing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, although they cannot speak the language of the Traditional Chinese Dynasty, are just like Zhuang Zhou from Primordial tales, uttering the words "This treasure is predestined to be mine" when facing any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Not just the Bat Monsters, but all invaders from the planes do likewise. If it were territorial warfare within their own plane, perhaps the powerful would make up an excuse just like the Traditional Chinese Dynasty did during external conquests; but when it comes to a Plane War, the language and script are different from those of the adversary anyway.

What is more crucial is that, in a Plane War, whether for invaders or defenders, it is an irreconcilable battle. If the invaders suffer heavy casualties in a Different Dimension, the essence of the plane originally within the invaders will be absorbed by the invaded Plane.

Conversely, if the invaders take away objects containing a great amount of plane essence or act as slave raiders, plundering a large number of creatures from the invaded Plane, the invaded Plane will also lose a significant amount of its essence.

I have already mentioned the role of plane essence. If a plane loses a great amount of it, the plane's space will shrink and, accompanying the shrinking of the plane, various Natural Disasters will incessantly arise.

So an invasion of a Plane is a battle of life and death, with no peaceful resolution once an invasion occurs.

Because the invaders have already expended a substantial amount of plane essence to open the Plane Transmission Channel, if they do not recoup the expended essence through plunder, then they would have lost so much plane essence for nothing.

There's no need to elaborate for the defenders; the very intent of the invaders' entry into their Plane is plunder. Regardless of how much the invaders take away, it is always a loss for the defenders.

Unless the creatures in the invaded plane can completely annihilate the invaders, once the invaders manage to take treasures from this plane, it would result in an irreversible and permanent loss for the invaded plane.

Already experienced in invasions, the Bat Monsters are very familiar with the ability to obtain coordinates of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures through sacrifices. At the same location, no matter how many sacrifices or how many times they offer, the target given is the coordinates of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures nearest to their current position.

Therefore, in order to obtain coordinates of more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, these Bat Monsters would immediately disperse after transporting that colossal object, and sacrifice at different locations in an attempt to obtain more information on the whereabouts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

As for the sacrificial offerings, they did not use their own kind, since, as previously stated, the vast majority of things in the plane contain an almost consistent amount of Plane Origin.

Unless non-living materials enter an Otherworldly plane, their contained Plane Origin would be instantly assimilated by the plane. In fact, the amount of Origin within an equal weight of items is not less than that found within living organisms.

However, since the Plane Origin contained in living organisms is not easily assimilated after entering an Otherworldly plane, it is possible to obtain specific coordinates of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures through sacrifices.

Otherwise, if the Plane Origin contained in living organisms is instantly assimilated after entering an Otherworldly plane, it would be impossible to obtain information about the location of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures through sacrifices.

After all, an assimilated Plane Origin is seen as its own by the Plane Will, no matter whether it is sacrificed or not. Only a fool would agree to trade what is already theirs.

The Bat Monsters who understand the rules of sacrifice, naturally, wouldn't use their own kind as offerings, but instead use those large flying birds that are extremely easy to breed in their plane.

Apart from their specially developed bird-training techniques, the most important reason is that they do not possess Storage Equipment capable of carrying a large quantity of living creatures. Since all the sacrificial sites need to be a considerable distance apart, only well-trained large birds can conveniently accompany them and fly to the sites of sacrifice.

If they were to choose livestock that cannot fly, it would take a tremendous amount of energy just to herd the animals to the sacrificial area.

While well-trained birds can not only move with them but also serve as expendable assets in critical times of combat.

The Acid Rain Technique that covers the Magic City area and has the ability to interfere with electromagnetic signals was specially developed for fighting mechanical lifeforms in Plane Wars.

Although covering a large area requires numerous people casting the Spell simultaneously and a prolonged casting time, the effects after deployment are extremely effective.

Without the correct countermeasures, despite the Acid Rain Technique's inability to directly harm living organisms, its destructive power far surpasses those spells that do direct damage to organisms.

Against Silicon-Based Creatures, the signal interference caused by the Acid Rain Technique is tantamount to depriving them of their senses, and its continual corrosive effect inflicts severe damage upon them.

The corrosive nature of the Acid Rain Technique may be relatively weak, but the actual damage depends on the specific locations corroded. If only corroding the hard outer shells of the Silicon-Based Creatures, it might take a long time to cause damage, but the actual impact won't last.

However, if the Acid Rain Technique corrodes the unprotected joints of the Silicon-Based Creatures, it can cause serious damage.

The hazy drizzle of the Acid Rain Technique allows the acid to spread like a mist over the entire area covered by the Spell. Although this method further weakens the acid's corrosive capability, it covers all areas in the Spell's range without any dead angle.

In such a scenario, unless all the vulnerable spots on the Silicon-Based Creatures are covered by Armor, any gaps in the Armor's coverage will lead to an outcome that goes without saying.
