After everyone had spoken their minds, Wei Cheng had a general understanding of the situation. However, he wasn't upset, instead, he laughed and said, "This is actually a good thing. Four major powers, each defending a city gate, with power levels that aren't too different from each other. At the very least, this is much better than the situation when we were in Floating Cloud City."
"As for the subsequent output inside the Map of Demon in the Fire, it's not ours to claim but rather allowed by the trial mechanisms. The Lava River that we discovered spans hundreds of miles up and down the river. Can we occupy it all?"
"The 15,000 new trialists that have joined us, don't they need resources to grow? They certainly can't develop through laboring in the city alone. Be it resources or divine light exposure, including combat consciousness, and so on, they have to go out and cultivate in the wild."
