Chapter 2: After that great power was destroyed, the Gods, the Soul Clock Tower, and the Rune Family simultaneously entered this world. Their goal was very clear: to seize control of this world.

A truly bizarre situation then emerged. After entering this world, these three major powers surprisingly did not fight to the death. Instead, they established the "Empire," the strongest force in this world. Even the Rune Family, who were all battle-crazed individuals, became one of the original shareholders of the Empire.

Although no proxies were sent out in the early stages, soon after, the "Three Ministers" proxy camp was formed and pushed to the forefront, representing the Rune Family's interests within the Empire.

If this world were to become a "Transcendent World," then even a family like the Rune Family would be reluctant to ravage it. They would use this place as their home base to go and ravage other worlds. This was even more true for the Gods and the Soul Clock Tower, which had stable and mature organizational frameworks.

What situation would cause these three competing parties to set aside their conflicts so peacefully?

The answer was that this world was a seemingly ownerless but actually a trap—a "Semi-Transcendent World." That is, once you enter, you can't leave. Under such circumstances, the three parties would choose restraint. At the very least, before breaking this trap, they would fight, but not to the point of a life-or-death struggle.

But this wasn't entirely correct either. Members of the three major powers had been known to go out to other worlds. In fact, due to trade needs, some members of the Mechanical God Cult were permanently stationed in the Void.

Let's consider another angle. What if a "Supreme Peak" powerhouse, upon entering this world, could no longer leave? In that case, the leaders of the three major powers would be very willing to temporarily negotiate a truce.

Furthermore, the very threshold for participating in the initial struggle for this world was that the leader or ancestor of a faction had to be a "Supreme Peak" to qualify for the competition.

This made the situation logical. However, the problem was: if this "Star Heart" was indeed bait, and it had inadvertently lured Su Xiao here, why hadn't the "Supreme Peaks" of the three major powers made their move yet?

Continuing with the speculation, the cage of this world was even more formidable than anticipated. It not only trapped the "Supreme Peaks" here but also suppressed their combat power ceiling, limiting the peak combat power of this world to the extreme of "Super-Top-Tier Supreme," unable to reach "Supreme Peak."

This was not impossible. Look at the scale of the original great power that owned this world. Making this world transcend was likely not their all-consuming plan, but merely one of the more important plans among several they intended to complete.

For this unknown great power, having their home base transcend would be good, but if it didn't, it wouldn't matter much. It was just icing on the cake. In comparison, the Wind Sea Continent and the Witch Realm, which staked everything on transcendence, seemed far more desperate.

In summary, the clues regarding this great power are:
