Palaris couldn't help but lament, "Sigh... yes, that's exactly it. So, what will you do with this information?"
Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "Does it look like I can do anything about it? I'm just a human, so I'll just follow the flow and see what happens."
Palaris and the others were slightly surprised by Rean's words. Then again, he was right. As a human, there was nothing he could do. In fact, even if he was a Zasfin, unless he had a high position in the organization, he would still be powerless to do anything.
Ophele then shook her head before continuing, "It doesn't matter if he knows or not. It's not like he can spread this information outside anyway. Even if he did, who would believe a human? Last but not least, only the higher-ups know how to use those humans to create Soul Stones. In the end, it's a piece of useless knowledge for him." Ophele was quite full of herself when she mentioned that.
Surprisingly, Rean simply agreed with her, saying, "Miss is right."
Palaris then looked at Ophele before asking, "I'm counting on you to convince your mother, alright?" He still wanted to find out what more Rean could do with formations. Of course, the same went for Ophele.
Roan, who had been listening to everything so far, had a dark expression on his face as he said, 'So, the Soul Stones are really made out of human souls.'
'Yes. It seems like we won't be able to do much about this issue. At most, we will only be able to save those who are there now. Then again, these Zasfins will eventually find more human kids to continue the process.' Although Rean wasn't showing it on the surface, he felt incredibly indignant.

Roan pondered for a bit before thinking about something else, saying not long after, 'At least, we should be able to prevent this process from happening for a long time.'
'Could it be...getting rid of the formation that controls the Bloodline Trials?' Sure enough, Rean understood what Roan meant. 'Now that I think about it, a formation capable of doing such a thing should be enormous and extremely complex.'
Rean continued to analyze the possibilities. 'But then again, there's also the method of transforming human souls into Soul Stones. Suppose the formation used to control the Bloodline Trials is destroyed and can't be restored for a few years. In that case, the Zasfin will not waste time making the kids wait. I'm certain that they will transform them into Soul Stones straight away.'
Roan then asked something else, 'Do you think they also use formations to transform their soul?'
Rean pondered for a bit and nodded, replying, 'Most likely. However, I doubt it's as complex as the formation controlling the planet's Bloodline Trials. Even if we manage to destroy them, the Zasfins should take some time to fix up those formations. In my opinion, as a Formation Master, I believe that the Zasfins' main issue with Soul Stones is to find humans with high Soul Purity.'
Roan shook his head in the end, saying, 'That means we can't do anything in that regard. In that case, we might as well not destroy the formation controlling the Bloodline Trials. At the very least, it will prevent those kids from being used for Soul Stones straight away.'
In the end, there's just so much they can do with their power. They could bring the kids they found into the dimensional realm, but they would have to leave straight away. Other than that, their actions were limited. That was the difference brought by their cultivation level.

Roan narrowed his eyes as he soon muttered, 'It seems we can only rely on her...'
[Hey, are you really THAT unwilling to have your beloved Sister Orb's help?]
Roan's mouth twitched as he replied, 'Beloved your ass!'
[I don't have an ass. Haha!]
Rean let out a quick chuckle before heading back to the main topic. 'Anyway. How would Sister Orb help with something like that? Such a formation is definitely at a very high level. Just how long would it take before she could take control over it?'
As mentioned in the past, Sister Orb's power at controlling formations depended on the formation's level and the Soul Gem System's processing power. Rean and Roan still didn't have any direct method to increase the processing power of the system, though they did have a passive method to increase it. That method was based on their current cultivation level.
[Hmm...indeed. Such formations would be ridiculously hard to crack. Nonetheless, they wouldn't be as terrifying as the natural formation that controlled time back in Sunkan Planet. Don't forget that I finished analyzing Soul Power, so I don't have problems analyzing Soul Runes anymore.] Sister Orb seemed somewhat very confident.
Roan ignored her smugness, though. 'Alright, then. In that case, we might as well stay there for some time. Besides, if our guess is correct, that area should be heaven for cultivators.'
Rean nodded and asked something else, 'But what will we do if we find out that one of the kids is about to be taken away?'
'Ignore them!' Roan didn't even need to think before answering. 'Are you really willing to sacrifice the big picture just to save a few? In the end, that will simply increase the number of sacrifices.'
He then continued, 'If we suddenly appear, and the kids that don't have the requirements to control the Bloodline Trials anymore began to disappear, what do you think the Zasfins would have in their minds?'
Rean couldn't help but show a dark expression after hearing that. However, he understood that Roan was right. They could secretly use the Soul Gem System to bring the kids inside. But their disappearance would raise many suspicions around them. After all, it would start happening right after they were brought in. The Zasfins would need to be idiots to not connect the dots.
However, it was then that Rean had an idea. 'Oh, right! In that case, let's not touch the Bloodline Trial Control Formation. Instead, Sister Orb, use your time to analyze the Soul Stone Formation. Make sure it won't work.'
Sister Orb didn't mind, however...
[I can try to do that, but I will at least need to be somewhat close to it. Also, you still don't know whether they really use a formation to create Soul Stones or not. If that's not the case...] Sister Orb stopped talking after that.
Rean sighed, knowing that Sister Orb had a point. Soon, he replied, 'Well, I'll see what I can do.'
