The Third Expeditionary Army's Exploration Team discovered that the Crystal Wall System, named the World of Tides, wasn't promoted by plundering massive resources from the Outland but by a special treasure ascension. The reason the War Zone convened many mid-to-high-level meetings was to discuss how to compete for that treasure.
Lin Xiao was quite interested in that so-called treasure, after all, it was an artifact that could promote the dimensional upgrade of a Crystal Wall System.
If the War Zone got its hands on it, the likelihood of it being allocated to him was almost nonexistent, given that he had just joined the decision-making echelon of the War Zone as one of the members, without the standing to claim it. However, if he applied to study it, that would not be a problem.
