Another thing that he noticed was that the strongest of the rank 6 cultivators with only one Divine Metac had a Cave Heaven that was exactly 100 million square kilometers.
This was the largest size of Cave Heaven that he saw among the divine beings with one Divine Metacs. But the divine beings who possessed this kind of Cave Heaven were very few. He saw only 11 of them among the total 56 divine beings.
On the other hand, the rank 6 cultivators with two Divine Metacs had Cave Heavens that reached up to 125 million square kilometers. Some had 124 million square kilometers, but no one had more than 125 million square kilometers.
He saw five rank 6 cultivators with two Divine Metacs out of the 56 divine beings. Three of them had reached 124 million square kilometers. The other two were above 100 million square kilometers.
As for the rank 7 cultivators, all five of them had Cave Heavens that were bigger than 100 million square kilometers. Even the two rank 7 cultivators with only one Divine Metac had Cave Heavens that were more than 100 million and 125 million square kilometers.
This information made him realize something about the relationship between cultivation and the size of Cave Heaven. It also reminded him of something Hammock had said about the limit of the size of Cave Heaven.
So he said to himself, ’It seems Hammock was right, and there is a limit for the size of Cave Heaven that exists after all. The normal limit for rank 6 cultivators should be 100 million square kilometers. Any rank 6 divine being with a Cave Heaven bigger than 100 million square kilometers must have two or more Divine Metacs.’
’For those who have two Divine Metacs, it seems they gain an increase to the limit of the size of their Cave Heaven. So it might not be that the limit doesn’t work on me. I just haven’t experienced a limit because I have so many Divine Metacs.’
Loki thought that it was interesting to see how Divine Metacs and cultivation rank affected limits. But what he found most interesting was how some of the divine beings had exactly the same size for their Cave Heavens and the exact same number of law fragments in those Cave Heavens.
He saw five different groups of divine beings who had the exact same Cave Heaven and law fragments. The divine beings in these five groups were also standing together.
One of the group of divine beings with the same Cave Heaven was the money cultivators of the Thorn House of Commerce. All five of them possessed the same Cave Heaven, which had a size of 2,843 million square kilometers and a 900% amplification from the law fragments in their Cave Heaven.
Two more groups with identical Cave Heavens were nearby. They were the two alliances of the enslavement cultivators and the forge cultivators.
The other two groups were part of the crowd that had been waiting for them. All five groups were headed by a rank 7 cultivator.
After Loki saw this trend of possessing identical Cave Heavens, he said inwardly, ’Forget the enemies that want to attack us. The true source of danger for me is my teammates.’
When he remembered how the divine beings of the Thorn House of Commerce and the divine beings had been adamant about getting the three continents and paying such a high price for them, the things he didn’t understand about their motivations suddenly became clear.
His eyes flickered with understanding as he said to himself, ’It all makes sense now. No wonder they were willing to do so much for a small continent worth 25 million square kilometers. It is all because it will benefit all of them.’
’Their Cave Heavens are linked to one another, so if one of them gains the continent, all of them will gain it. That way, something that is worth 25 million square kilometers will be worth five times its value and can reach up to 125 million square kilometers in value.’
The more he thought about the entire struggle for the Cave Heaven in the second heaven, the clearer things became to him. He felt as if he had been enlightened all of a sudden.
’No wonder independent divine beings could never win the struggle for the continents. The power of one person simply can’t match the power of five people working together.’
’And no wonder the first thing that Forced Exchange asked me for is for me to surrender my Cave Heaven. I thought for sure that he was doing it to enslave me.’
’I thought he would never surrender his Cave Heaven to anyone, but it turned out that he had already done so and was extending me a hand of friendship. So he actually made that offer to truly incorporate me into their alliance. It seems I have misjudged him a little bit.’
While thoughts swirled through his head, the group of winners and losers was confronting each other. On one side were the three alliances of winners. On the other side were the two alliances of losers and another group of independent divine beings.
The rank 7 in the Thorn House of Commerce said to the rank 7 divine beings of the two alliances of losers, "It is over. You’ve lost. No matter what you do, we can match it. So you can never win."
Another rank 7 divine being from the alliance of forgers said, "There are three of us and only two of you. There is no way you can defeat us like that."
The rank 7 of the alliance of giants pointed at the group of independent divine beings and asked, saying, "What about them? It seems you forgot to account for them."
His question made the three rank 7 divine beings and many more rank 6 divine beings on the side of the winners snicker, chuckle, or laugh.
Eventually, someone answered the question. It was the rank 7 forger who said, "I didn’t forget anything."
