Ansel stood atop a small hill, gazing out over the boundless desolate land, while also taking in the sight of the gathered adventurers.
This was a wasteland approximately four kilometers from the Dispute Fortress, still within its territory. The reason Ansel had come here was naturally the same as that of the adventurers gathered here—a Zero Realm Enigma gate was about to open.
The method to reliably locate the entrance to the Zero Realm Enigma had been developed as early as the era of the Sky Conquering Dynasty. Although the remnants of the dynasty were almost entirely lost after the Great Cataclysm, new methods of positioning had gradually been perfected over time.
