I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Chapter 368 Historic Differences

"What is the source of your confidence, Sienna?" Albion inquired with growing curiosity.

Sienna's confident answer couldn't have stemmed from nothing. She must have known something or strongly believed in something for her to give such a definite answer.

"In terms of background and heritage, the Scarlet Nether Realm is simply far too inferior to our Celestial Fairy Realm, my Lord. That is the source of my confidence," Sienna stated.

"Interesting," Albion thought before urging her, "Elaborate further, Sienna."

"Understood, my Lord," Sienna acknowledged with a nod.

It was clear to her that her new master knew nothing about the Netherworld and the thirty-three sectors, not even the local realms on the borders of the Grand Netherheaven Sector and Ancient Darkheaven Sector.

Anyone who has lived in the area for some time would know even the most basic knowledge of their land, except her master. Evidently, he was new to the area.

Although she didn't know where he came from, it was clear that he had a mysterious strength and background.

"My Lord should have already noticed, but Netherglow City is home to quite a broad diversity of races. This situation is pretty much the same throughout the entire Scarlet Nether Realm," Sienna stated.

"Dating back fifty million years, the Scarlet Nether Realm didn't even exist. It was nothing more than an unexplored wilderness zone. On the other hand, the Celestial Fairy Realm was founded over eight-hundred million years ago."

"More importantly, the denizens of Celestial Fairy Realm are predominantly dark faes and humans, two of the twelve ruling races that had been around since the beginning of the first chaos," Sienna added.

"Two of the twelve ruling races… That makes sense," Albion acknowledged Sienna's reasoning.

The Celestial Fairy Realm held such an overwhelming advantage over the Scarlet Nether Realm that it wasn't even open for debate.

Albion recalled reading some information on the twelve ruling races.

Due to the infinite vastness of chaos, only twelve sectors had been fully explored and ruled by each of the twelve ruling races.

The Grand Netherheaven Sector was just one of the other twenty unexplored sectors collectively called the wilderness.

Thus, the Scarlet Nether Realm was relatively weak compared to the Celestial Fairy Realm, which had the backing of the entire Ancient Darkheaven Sector.

Despite that, the Scarlet Nether Realm still waged a Realm War with the Celestial Fairy Realm.

Albion didn't believe a person capable enough to the position of Realm Lord would be so foolish as to start a war that could not be won.

There was a catch.

"Hmm…" Albion hummed with a thoughtful look.

"The Celestial Fairy Realm is just one among billions of other realms within the Ancient Darkheaven Sector. And considering Realm Wars are common, other realms in the sector wouldn't back it up just because it got attacked by another sector's realm."

"Furthermore, Celestial Fairy Realm might have dark faes and humans, but the Scarlet Nether Realm must have other members of the twelve ruling races among them, even if they are few in numbers."

"So it doesn't make sense that a third realm can just interfere in another realm war between two other realms," Albion mentioned.

"That's right, my Lord," Sienna acknowledged Albion's statement before saying, "Although it's not forbidden, the realms don't usually receive third-party assistance in their Realm Wars."

"To begin with, Sienna never said the Celestial Fairy Realm had a higher chance of winning the Realm War due to its backing. It doesn't need another realm's assistance to win the Realm War against the Scarlet Nether Realm."

"The Celestial Fairy Realm has more than enough experts and resources to deal with the Scarlet Nether Realm, my Lord," Sienna stated.

"I see," Albion uttered.

Nevertheless, as Sienna said, it wasn't forbidden for a third realm to interfere in the Realm War.

Thus, while it was unlikely for the Celestial Fairy Realm to resort to such methods, it was hard to say the same for the Scarlet Nether Realm.

In the end, it was hard to say which side would win.

The Celestial Fairy Realm had clear advantages, but it didn't mean the Scarlet Nether Realm would definitely lose.

There were too many factors and variable changes to take into account and determine the victor in Realm Wars.

"Thank you for your input, Sienna. You were very informative. However, there's no need to concern yourself further. You may go back and cultivate," Albion dismissed her.

It was best not to get involved in the Realm War.

However, if they really had to participate in the Realm War, they could start worrying after soldiers actually rock up to their doorstep to conscript them.

"Understood, my Lord," Sienna humbly left after her respects to Albion with a bow. She closed the door on the way out.

It was only for a brief moment, but Albion noticed she had a lot of thoughts on her mind regarding the impending all-out Realm War.

The other four maids most likely had the same concerns.

Nevertheless, Albion didn't dwell on the dark faes and observed the black fleet looming over Netherglow City's sky

"Each of those warships must be comparable to Immortal-grade spiritual tools or greater. It must be nice to own one or two," Albion thought to himself.

Even the Dark Emperor didn't possess such a large fleet of high-quality warships when he was still the Ashura Emperor, ruler of the Ashura Divine Heaven.

The Realm Lords in the Netherworld must be filthy rich.

Alas, that was just Albion's misconception. Not all Realm Lords possessed such a large fleet of Immortal-grade or above warships.

One must possess an extraordinary background to even have the ambition to explore the wilderness.

After all, the wilderness might be full of opportunities and unclaimed resources, but it is also full of danger.

According to a book Albion read in the past few days, the wilderness's dangers come from natural disasters and nether beasts.

Although the twelve explored sectors also have natural disasters and nether beasts, they weren't comparable to the wilderness.

The wilderness had nether beasts with monstrous strength on par with Heavenly Soul Immortals and beyond, and little was known about their natural disasters.

Suddenly, Albion narrowed his eyes, sensing a group of people with heavy footsteps approaching his estate.

"It seems this can't be avoided," Albion muttered.
