Was zoh protecting the forbidden lands?
Zoh Shia was sapping energy from the dragon torch making it so not alot of energy flowed to the rest of the forbidden lands, elder dragons and high level monsters are attracted to places with abundant sources of energy as show in world where the elders recess was where all the strong monster stayed on the continent for the most part. If zoh Shia was taking all the energy that would lead to the forbidden lands lacking large amounts of energy additionally once we slayed zoh Shia new monsters immediately started to show up and continue to through title updates, so what if zoh put the forbidden lands on low power mode to not attract attention from the elders?
