Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, not feeling surprised.
Among the Eight Great Shelters of humanity, except for the 2nd Sanctuary, all are located in the Edge Zone of the world.
Generally speaking, the lower the sequence number, the earlier it was established, hence the stronger its power.
Moreover, because the First Sanctuary set a good example, each Sanctuary, after entering a steady development path and having enough additional resources, would support other human regions in establishing new Sanctuaries.
The reason for this is... ever since the Era of Disaster began, the entire world has resembled a massive dual-ring puzzle.
The center of the real world and the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region" merged into one, occupying the world's center.
And the humans barely surviving in the Edge Zone, even if they established a Sanctuary, could not solely rely on one organization to rule over a long narrow circular area.
