Professor Barrett said pessimistically: "Their chance of survival is very small, likely they were wiped out early on like Starry Sky City."
"Not necessarily," Amides raised a counterpoint, "Saint Reel has endured for eighteen hundred years, maybe the other two Fire King Cities can too. Although humanity has declined, leading to a significant drop in overall strength, entities like 'Life of Man' must gather in the remaining civilizations. So, whether it's Starry Sky City, Saint Reel, or us, we possess countless geniuses."
Professor Barrett shook his head slightly: "Lord Amides, this exactly where my pessimism stems from. Although the loss of history means we can't know what Trolian was like long ago, in the last few decades, the number of our geniuses has skyrocketed. Does this represent a terrifying prospect that all humans have perished, leaving only us?"
Amides's tone also became somewhat heavy, but he still expressed opposition.
