it's world building, not filler. don't get confused between the 2. these chapters are important for the quality and the enjoyment of the whole story. you don't get a masterpiece by shoving non-stop action on the mc, go read xianxia
Sweet_Tea:the only thing we learned is that there are supposed to be 12 ad but 2 betrayed the oracle and 1 died so 9 left
You lot have to be slow to say this was a filler chapter. This chapter is more or less the continuation of events from after the 4th ordeal. It essentially reveals the oracle has given all the high ranked evolvers following the meeting Aurae was called to and this follow up session is meant to be about passing down those orders to the individual oracle overseers However the situation and the next steps going must be grim for a probationary oracle governor to be like this, there's even more you can infer from this.
