The same test repeats all the time, so almost the same things should happen all the time Maybe the zhirions kidnap the player so they can steal their aether and bracelet to evolve (this aether is returned to the player when they dies). Then, when the ship arrives at the planet, these zhirions with winds will fly to the ship because they think this way, they will arrive to a better place. I think they are slaves of the oracle without knowing it, to fulfill the function of testing the players. Maybe those zhirions that arrive to the ship the oracle or the player will have to kill them
This sacrificial ritual sacrifices the oracle power of the players and transfers it to the people of that world so that they can become players themselves. And the amount of sacrificed players has to be a lot to overright the oracle settings. maybe the players sacrifIced will become residents of the world If they succeed while they become players...
The ancient designer is the Oracle System. The tribes of harmony and dream are tribed that worship the other two ores, Naequat and OrXamium. All three tribes were put on planet or stranded for the benefit of second ordeal to challenge the players. Should they actually win and get spots in Phantom Sanctuary, there is no guarantee they get golden ticket to leave sanctuary alive. But either way, they think they will have a chance and fight Players accordingly.
The Zhorions are way too op for a second ordeal. What's stopping them from killing the players every time the ordeal starts? What's the point if there is no chance of survival against them? Like lord Xue Ying once said. Having cultivators killed in their cultivation journey trials is ok. But if some old demon is going massacare trillions of people, than for the people killed, it is not a trial. So, that devil needs to be killed.
Whatever it is it seems reasonable that the oracle is aware of it and may even have a deal in place with these Zhorions. This ordeal is the same for everybody so a new batch of players will constantly arrive on island to learn and be tested. After a certain length of time these Zhorions are allowed to capture and sacrifice(?) the players to benefit themselves in some way. Possibly for bracelets and a chance to leave island through the end of ordeal? Either way the Zhorions serve to further teach/refine/cull the rest of the player. “There may only be 100!!!”😄
Well looking over the comments if the bracelet has no info on zhorions or the 3 main minerals then its mostly abt the phantom sanctuary. I say the ordeal needs it more than anything. by the level of competition there are tons of planets out there stronger than zhorions and why they havent been converted into the mirror universe earlier. Since this is all just understanding Aether anyway. maybe this a ritual of breaking down the Oracles aether from the millions of participants and finally trying to understand and reassemble something simple like the Oracle system which comes in the form of a bracelet .
