"Platinum Rank Dimension?!" Eve was shocked when she heard Cyrus's revelation.
"Surprising, huh? But if you think about their evolution and transmutation, don't you think it makes sense? The Ice Lion Region is indifferent toward the other regions despite having the means to deal with them all. Only if they have a bigger target will they show such indifference.
"This Platinum Rank Dimension appeared around the time the strange phenomena had appeared in the Moonshine Forest, and according to this guy's memory, it was the day when the dimension gate was formed.
"Half of their region, as well as their King, were trapped in the dimension formation period, and when the gate was finally formed. The Ice Lion King emerged far more powerful than he had ever been and took care of the invaders single-handedly.
"It turned out the dimension they had been trapped in was not hostile toward magic beasts because they also belonged to a much-advanced race of magic beasts. They not only took the Ice Lions under their wings, they even taught and shared their knowledge with them and now they are all advanced by leaps and bounds." Cyrus summarized the memories he got from the Ice Lion to Eve.

Cyrus thought for a moment before he replied, "No, it is not a dimension with a temple. The other party seemed to know about how a dimension work, so they took control of the dimension core before the ignorant Ice Lions, and then they made them submit as well.
"You can say that they are extremely intelligent and knows how to win others' hearts. They didn't hide or try to limit the Ice Lions' potential. Instead, they are nurturing them to the best of their abilities after they find out the Ice Lions have no idea about what a dimension is. In a sense, we are doing the same but with an iron fist instead of going through all those schemes." He chuckled at the end.
"Then are you going to take control over that dimension?" Eve asked with a hint of excitement.
Cyrus's eyes went cold as he replied, "Control it? It's alluring as a dimension is filled with rare resources, and we need those resources. But I can't allow another dimension to purloin from my territory, right? It is either their rule or ours, and I think they had a goal like ours, so they had to go away. Since I'll be taking over their work."
"How thievish." Eve giggled as she also liked Cyrus's approach. They needed to protect and grow their own dimension, and another dimension had no place in their territory.
Furthermore, this discovery also confirmed that there are other dimensions in this world, and it won't be easy to annex it.
Cyrus then paid attention to the mirror, and a white map suddenly lit up within and then moved toward the deeper region of the Ice Lion Region. He no longer needed the directions, and this mirror would help him avoid any unnecessary situation with the runes.
He no longer cared about the Ice Lions in this place because they were going to be his war trophies anyway. The easiest way to subdue them was to get rid of the Platinum Rank Dimension and prove his might by destroying the power they had given their allegiance.
By avoiding the traps with the mirror, he finally reached the core of the Ice Lion Region, and Eve was surprised because there were massive walls seemingly made of ice.
"A city?"
"Indeed, and not just an ordinary city, those walls are made with Ice Steal, a bronze-grade ore found in icy places. They have four massive lodes of Ice Steal Ore here, and it is one of the materials they used to barter with the power in Platinum Dimension." Cyrus revealed as he looked at that ice city and chuckled, "At least Carla will be pleased to have no longer built a fortress city in this place."
"Hmph! You should've brought them with you if you miss them so much." Eve snorted with dissatisfaction.
"Not a bad idea, but I want to adventure with my grouchy wife for a while," Cyrus said matter-of-factly.

While messing with Eve, Cyrus directly walked over those walls, and he spotted many Ice Lion Patrols on the wall.
The city made by the Ice Lions was a medium size city, and they had built building like igloos. Many transmuted Ice Lions were walking in the street, and all of them were powerful, while the Ice Lions who were still not transmuted seemed to be cultivating.
Cyrus knew these Ice Lions had acquired a cultivation method for magic beasts from the Platinum Dimension, and that's why they were able to evolve. Furthermore, he already had that method in his head, and it could help them cultivate to the peak of the mortal realm, which was not bad at all.
Additionally, the ruler of this place, the Ice Lion King, spends his time in the Platinum Dimension and seldom appears. It was because the Platinum Dimension has a much richer environment with Qi than Moonshine Forest.
Staying in the Platinum Dimension was also treated like a privilege, and anyone who performed well would be eligible to enter for a limited period of time. Right now, the Ice Lion King and his pride live in the Platinum Dimension.
Cyrus continued to walk deep into the city and finally spotted a heavily guarded place which was a massive igloo that appeared to be an ice dome.
Looking at all those armored Ice Lions guarding it, it was quite obvious that the platinum dimension gate was within this igloo, and Cyrus didn't waste time and cast a golden-grade spell of a legendary element.
