It turned out that lives were worth so little in the Grotto Continent! It was a luxury just to be able to live comfortably.
Or rather, it could be said that besides the elite bigshots who were able to decide if regular people lived or died, there were no normal citizens to speak of.
The average lifespan of regular citizens in the Radiance Federation was more than 90 years.
Having lived all her life in the Radiance Federation, Chu Ci did not think 90 years was especially old.
But since coming to the Grotto Continent, she found out that the regular people only lived to around 23 years of age. Any older than that and they would be seen as having a long lifespan!
She would never have believed that such a world existed without witnessing it herself.
She finally knew what it meant when people said that reading always fell short of experience.
