Galen, Merlin, Kun Zheng, Klein, and the others, all of whom were aware of the existence of the space and were elders of Zhao Hai, appeared in the space.
They still did not know what had happened, only hearing Laura say there was an extremely important and urgent matter to discuss, and that they should put down their work and come to the space immediately. Galen and the others understood Zhao Hai well and knew that if it were not for something extremely urgent, he would not say such things. Thus, upon receiving the notice, they quickly wrapped up their tasks and entered the space.
Currently, Galen and Merlin were mainly responsible for matters in the Black Earth Wilderness. There were many races there, and every day there were numerous issues to handle, which were naturally left to Galen and Merlin.
Kun Zheng was still busy dealing with matters on Golden Island. Although the front lines were engaged in battle, people still needed to live. Generally, Zhao Hai transported materials for frontline use, while ordinary civilians relied on trade to obtain supplies for their livelihoods, so Golden Island was still quite busy.
Klein and the others were also very busy. They were occupied with solving the issues related to the defensive magic circle, which Zhao Hai was anxious about. However, upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, they quickly rushed to the space.
When they arrived at the space villa, they saw Zhao Hai sitting there with a frown. Xu Wanying and Shun Yi were sitting beside him, silent, while Mu Tou and Shi Tou had just come downstairs.
Seeing Zhao Hai's expression, Galen and the others immediately knew he must be contemplating something serious. Xu Wanying and the others did not dare to disturb him, but Galen did not hold back his concerns. He said, “Young master, what urgent matter called us all here?”
Upon hearing Galen's voice, Zhao Hai snapped back to reality. Seeing everyone had arrived, he quickly stood up and said, “Grandpa Galen, Grandma Merlin, Grandpa Kun Zheng, father-in-law, you’re here! Please sit down; this time, there truly is a major matter to discuss with you.”
Once everyone was seated, Zhao Hai recounted the events that had occurred in the Extreme North Icefield, as well as his thoughts about bringing people from the Ark Continent into the space. Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Galen and the others were taken aback; they had not anticipated that the situation would escalate to this point. With the issues between the divine race and the demon clan still unresolved, now there was news of the Underworld. Anyone hearing this news would want to curse.
Just as the situation had begun to show some improvement, another major crisis had emerged in the backyard. Under such circumstances, there was truly no better solution than to relocate everyone into the space.
Seeing that the others remained silent, Zhao Hai shared what Xu Wanying and Shun Yi had said with them, hoping to hear their opinions. Although Zhao Hai had experienced a lot over the years, compared to these seasoned veterans, he still felt somewhat inexperienced.
Not to mention he was inferior to Galen and the others, even compared to Xu Wanying and the others, he was lacking. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have only thought of this when Xu Wanying mentioned the power of faith. After listening to Zhao Hai, Galen and the others frowned. To be honest, they hadn’t considered this point before. The space was the Budah family’s greatest secret, and they had never thought about making it public, which was why they had considered relocating to the space as a last resort. However, now hearing Xu Wanying’s reasoning, they felt that relocating people into the space might not be such a bad thing.
After contemplating for a long time, Galen turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Young master, this matter may not go as smoothly as we hope, but we can certainly give it a try. However, if we do this, the divine race, the demon clan, and the people from the Underworld will likely become aware of our space’s existence. Even if they do not know what the space is like, they will probably have some guesses. Given the divine race’s level of respect for cultivators, they will definitely inform that cultivator about this. If one day we really reach that cultivation realm, we might lose our most crucial trump card.”
