The Man’s Decree – Chapter 6416

"It is thorny. A direct head-on assault won't be easy to force through..." Jared rolled the intelligence scroll closed, his expression set, his voice low.

Elder Cillian stepped forward slowly. He considered it for a moment, then offered the steadier course. "Master Chance, in my view, we should delay the assault on Northern Abyss Gaol for now. We should enter seclusion first, build our strength, and raise the whole team's power step by step..."

"Especially you... Your innate chaotic force naturally suppresses the celestials' holy radiance and celestial nascence. You are the key to breaking this situation open and turning the board around. If you can use this chance to break into True Immortal Realm Level Three, or even the fourth tier, your combat power will surge. Then, when all of us gather and attack Northern Abyss Gaol together, our odds will rise sharply. That would be the safest course," Elder Cillian added.

Jared gave a slow nod. The truth of it needed no explaining, if his cultivation broke through, he could overwhelm stronger enemies. But the timing gave him no room to drag this out.

"Of course I want to go into seclusion, focus on breaking through, and temper my combat power. But right now, what we lack most is time. We cannot afford to waste even a minute or a second. And beyond that, we lack resources." Jared understood better than anyone that raising himself by even a minor realm would swallow a massive amount of resources.
