The woman in the black veil spoke.
"I see."
Lu Chenzhou finally understood why the Tower Master had lived for so long.
When one becomes powerful enough, even the Universe supports those around you.
"It's very difficult to kill a Supreme being, like the Hive Mind. We've defeated it many times, yet it always comes back... If your civilization faces a similar threat, be sure to kill the enemy before they ascend to Supremacy; otherwise, even as a Supreme, you can only repel them at best."
The woman seemed to see through Lu Chenzhou's thoughts and suddenly spoke.
"Thank you, Tower Master."
Lu Chenzhou left with a heavy heart.
Even for him, an Immortal, killing was so difficult, not to mention a Supreme; it's too normal.
...
This rescue operation was completed successfully, and Lu Chenzhou earned two billion battle merits in the Elemental Tower.
Then, the Vice Tower Lord took him to extort various households, racking up another fourteen billion battle merits.
