"Ah yes, there are other dominant forces too!"
"The many level-eight oases accumulated over the years by these dominant forces are not few, it's just that they lack the spare strength to promote all of these oases."
Strong dominant forces, such as the Neverwinter Empire and the Scarlet Lotus Empire, are already preparing to promote their third, fourth, and fifth level-nine oases.
But weaker dominant forces, like those of Shuiman Country, don't even dare to start a second promotion.
They lack confidence.
After the second disaster tide, the world has become more polluted, and now promoting a level-nine oasis has become even more perilous than before.
They dare not, but Flamefire dares.
"Isn't it just a lack of power to defend the city? We at Flamefire can lend strong support, for just a small price."
For example, Divine Origin.
Of course, it's not just Divine Origin.
