This was their real goal.
However, there was one thing these old folks perhaps hadn't noticed at all. Deep down, they already knew Jin Botao had certainly become aware of something, enough to make him stake everything on one throw! Yet, they all unanimously, and in perfect harmony, preserved this last, largest secret of Quan State for Jin Botao without a second's hesitation.
After all, preserving such a secret might indeed lead to pulling the entire city's people toward making the ultimate sacrifice. However, if this news were to spread, there was no doubt that within an hour, the entirety of Quan State would be in complete upheaval and then disintegrate. For those predators lurking about, particularly the Beast Clan hailing from certain uncharted territories within the Human Race's domain, the earlier the collapse of the Human Race, the less they would naturally have to expend. Yet, the feast awaiting them would surely be even more abundant!
