The officials were not stupid.

If they couldn't get the information from one returnee, then they would approach the second returnee and dug various information from them. Some specific information was indeed only known to one returnee, but if they were only asking about some general information, there was no problem in asking other returnees about it.

One of them was the fact that most of these returnees used to be rank 7 before they came back to this world after their 'deaths.'

So reaching rank 7 seemed to be something that would definitely happen for these returnees and it was nothing special.

The officials were already prepared.

The moment these patterns appeared one by one in the sky, they understood that these returnees should have reached the peak of their previous strength and will slowly improve on their own.

As for whether they knew the path forward…

These returnees never said anything.

For this matter, they somehow managed to have a tacit understanding not to say anything about the paths above rank 7.

"Continent Y has already started using the nuclear bombs. Various bases have been destroyed along with countless magic beasts," an official said with heavy tone.

If their returnees were like those three returnees in Continent Y, there was no doubt that their fate would not be any better than Continent Y.

It was only because their returnees were willing to fight and sealed the cracks that they were able to sit here calmly and discussed about this matter instead of worrying about whether they should abandon these bases and used the nuclear weapon like Continent Y.

"Continent X is also considering to use the nuclear weapon, but they have decided not to… and Continent W is urging us to return Ruth as soon as possible," the other official continued with a sigh.

Well, the four continents were still busy fighting covertly.

But the appearance of the second earthquake and countless rank 7 magic beasts out there did make them realize that this was indeed not the time for them to fight.

"We have no time to deal with Continent Y's request for help. While it's true that leaving things be might be bad for the overall situation of the Green Planet, but Continent Y is too far away." The official with higher power shook his head.

He didn't want to send any of their returnees to Continent Y and possibly have to risk their lives.

Because the action of the returnees from Continent Y had already caused many rank 7 magic beasts to come out of the cracks.

No one tried to block them.

And at this moment, sending any of these returnees were the same as sending them to their death.

Who knows how many rank 7 magic beasts would greet them the moment they arrived in Continent Y?

Anyway, the official didn't want any returnee from Continent Z to face these things.

"Let's discuss the cracks first. The military will first focus on the crack under the Martial Arts Association and will work together with them to create a military base around the crack. While the crack is a potential danger, it can also provide with a lot of opportunities…"

Previously, they have been trying to set up bases around the cracks for easier exploration. But the problem was that there were simply too many cracks for them to pay attention to and they didn't have enough manpower if they have to focus on one of the cracks.

So they could only station some military to explore the crack.

But now that there were only 12 cracks all over the world and 5 of them were in Continent Z, they could start to implement this matter.

Two cracks were sealed by Riya, one crack was taken care by Dina, one crack was guarded by Peter and the Martial Arts Association, while the last one was taken by the Magic Association.

The Magic Association had already promised to split the resources they obtained from the crack.

And the officials didn't have such a good impression for he Magic Association for several reasons.

One of them was naturally because of their strong persistence in trying to obtain the crack and the rights to explore it.

It was inexplicable.

This made them certain that the cracks might be a bit different from the previous cracks that appeared all over the world.

Even though they hadn't explored it yet, they already had this premonition.

"Also, Riya and Samuel raised a very important matter… there are also other rank 7 magic beasts that have grown up on Continent Z's land and they're trying to deal with them," the official said with a solemn expression. "I want to send more military to try exploring the borders. The bases further away are more scattered and it wouldn't do us any good to let these magic beasts to grow up…"

In this way, the officials were busy formulating countless plans.

They chose to ignore Murin's action for the time being, but it was obvious that they would not consider him if there was any benefit either.

As for Riya and Samuel…

Even though one of them was a real black hearted businessman that had caused them heart attack for a long time, these two were considered good children in their eyes.

At least, they were good enough to be willing to help when it was necessary.

As for the fact that they were being taken advantaged off in daily basis…

They chose to turn a blind eyes to it.

"When they come back, let's give them a reward…"

…

Riya and Samuel's side

At this moment, Riya and Samuel didn't know anything because they were busy following those corpse eater flying magic beasts and trying to find their nest.

If they were to know what the officials were thinking, they might feel that it was a bit strange.

Because they didn't do it for any reward.

No, it was more like that these corpse eater flying magic beasts were already a big enough reward for them.
