After listening to Vincenzo's explanation, Fade connected the dots. "Which means that Lukas is targeting Taeyoon World because he wants to go there and take control of Spiritual Cores. He wants to reach Controlling Realm."
"Exactly." Vincenzo confirmed.
Fade mulled it over. Suddenly, he thought of another question. "But why does Lukas insist on searching for Spiritual Cores in Taeyoon World? Aren't objects in Earth Yuan World much stronger than that of a lower world?"
"For example, won't a mountain from Earth Yuan World be much stronger than a mountain from the lower world? Why doesn't he just search for Spiritual Cores here to achieve Controlling Realm?"
Vincenzo said in a low voice, "You're right, but that only applies to regular controllers."
"Lukas is the Young Master of Taeyoon Domain. His goals are not as simple as controlling a mountain. What he really wants to do is to take control of the entire world."
"What? Control the world! T- That can't be possible". Fade was in shock.
"Why not? I already told you that everything has a Spiritual Core, and can thus be controlled."
"Since mountains and rivers have Spiritual Cores, logically every world should have one too. As long as one is able to refine it, one will have control over the entire world and become its God."
"H-How..." Fade was at a loss for words for a moment. After a pause, he murmured to himself, "Earth Yuan World has stronger mountains and rivers, so Lukas is unable to take control of it. That is why he chose a smaller world. If he succeeds, his powers will be much stronger than if he chose to take control of the objects here."
Vincenzo said, "Exactly."
"Actually, the governor of Taeyoon Domain was the last controller of Taeyoon World. Now that he is weak, the control he has over the world has lessened. Taeyoon World is free to be taken over by a new controller. Once Lukas succeeds, he will without a doubt become the next governor."
Fade could not help but sigh. He was truly in shock. "I had no idea Lukas had his sights set so high."
Suddenly, he realized something. Hurriedly, he said, "If Taeyoon World can be controlled, that means other lower worlds can be controlled too, right?"
Thinking of this, Fade couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.
If the Earth was under control, that would mean that they would constantly be watched. The controller would be able to see their every move.
Naturally, that included Fade, who was currently living on Earth.
"Could it be that someone has been controlling my life all along?"
Thinking of this, Fade couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness and fear. After all, no one would want to be mindlessly controlled by another.
Vincenzo understood Fade's feelings at the moment. He explained, "Controllers are strong, but it's not as bad as you think. There are countless living beings even in lower worlds. There's no way the controller will be able to pay attention to each and every one of them all the time. Anyway, it would be completely meaningless to do so."
"Think about it. Would you spend your time paying attention to what every ant in a colony did?"
Fade was slightly relieved by Vincenzo's explanation. At the same time, his comparison to ants made Fade realize how terrifying the existence of controllers was.
Then, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Vincenzo, the crisis you mentioned earlier that Earth will be facing, is it because of controllers?"
Vincenzo sighed and said, "Yes, that's right, but it's not what you think. The controllers aren't going to come and destroy the Earth."
"Earth is a unique world. So far, no one has really been able to take control of it."
