Head Nova's handsome, young features remained as neutral as ever, but there was no doubting the darkness in his eyes. To be blatantly smeared in front of the leaders of their 99 universes… No matter how level-headed a person normally was, they'd be pissed.

The worst part about it all was that Head Nova wouldn't put this potential possibility past his brother. To say that Elder Nova was a stain on the Nova family's name was an understatement… The sad reality of it all was that he was far more talented than Head Nova, yet never put his effort into what he should have.

This sort of analysis of Elder Nova's life would be shocking to many. This was an elder who humbled himself to acting as a doorman. Even Dyon would do a double take.

It had to be said that although he and Elder Nova were enemies, it was just that. Dyon may dislike Elder Nova for being a potential danger to him and who he cared for, but he didn't hate him. He didn't particularly have a reason to… Dyon wasn't so naïve as to believe that everyone should be his ally and that all people who weren't were terrible individuals. The world was rarely so black and white.

The truth was that anyone who knew how Elder Nova had lived that last few thousand years of his life would never assume this of his past…

In the end, Head Ceres and Master Ores didn't get the rise out of the Head Nova that they wanted.

"Thank you for your input. In my humble opinion, even when this third possibility is taken into account, the safest route to take is that of the second possibility. Meaning, we should assume that the enemy is not afraid of us, but is afraid of our employer.

"It is best for us all that my younger brother would make such a mistake, because at least then it won't affect the employer's plans of suppressing the soul path. Know that if you are correct, the Nova family will do everything in its power to bring our second prince to justice.

"However, should the second possibility be true, we have a true problem on our hands."

Head Nova calmly diffused the situation, causing the faces of his opposers to darken. It didn't take a genius to realize that Head Nova's words were akin to saying that their possibility hardly mattered, after all, at the end of it, Head Nova had still come to the correct conclusion.

It felt like Head Nova had clapped at their monkey dance, only to ignore it all and move on with important matters. This one moment reminded them all why the Nova family stood above them all. Although their 99 universes couldn't compare with their employer, in terms of raw power, they were comparable to a top 30 quadrant even without the help of the tower to cultivate their youth. Therefore, the Nova family's prowess couldn't be understated.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his analysis, Head Nova nodded and moved forward.

"For now, we have to be cautious. In preparation for this day, we maintained control over 48 of the 49 key towers, however, due to the fact we purposely allowed them to maintain rights as the key wielder, all of that is null and void.

"This may seem unfortunate on the surface, but it actually works out better for us this way. We can concentrate our attack on a single gate and toward a single tower."

Head Ceres and Master Ore could only watch as Head Nova once more took control of the meeting.

There was a total of six inhabited planet in Universe Cathedral. One for each of the five Sub-Peaks, and the last for Soul Rending Peak.

By extension of this fact, there were also 6 gate entrances, with the epistemic tower holding gate being found on Planet Cathedral, the home of Soul Rending Peak.

Originally, the plan of the 99 universes and their employer was to leave Universe Cathedral as bait. To the outside world, the 98th quadrant was incredibly weak, and Universe Cathedral was a testament to this.

To that end, the key wielder of the quadrant was left in the hands of the Peaks. However, in recognition that something like this might occur, the 99 universes controlled 48 of the 49 key towers – 8 from each of the 5 sub-peak gates, and 8 of the 9 key towers, not including the epistemic tower, of the Soul Rending Peak gate.

The reason owning 8 of 8 key towers didn't allow them control over the cultivation threshold was because the rules of the gate changed when there was an owner of the Epistemic Tower Key. The other gates became all but irrelevant in front of the key wielder.

Of course, this power was limited to those 6 gates only as they shared a universe with the main gate.

Thus, the goal of the 99 universes was simple. As long as they conquered the epistemic tower, the key wielder would lose their strength, and then they could finally gain an accurate understanding of just what they were facing.

"It's very possible that this key wielder plans to raise the cultivation barrier once we send our younger generation in. If that's the case, we could be setting up our youth to be massacred." Head Nova explained calmly.

Head Nova knew very well that this might be a trap, but he was ready.

"Here are some of my thoughts for how to deal with this…"
