"It seems Mr. Liens also knows a bit about 'inheritance items'."
"We initially suspect that the Glenbagen Family's decades of rule and the Kara City populace's understanding of the Dark Guards, a unique group, caused this magical artifact to exhibit characteristics of inheritance."
"If this magical artifact were given more time, an 'inheritance item' that could theoretically allow a family's bloodline to control all ordinary people would likely have been born."
A look of lingering fear appeared on Reid's face, as if he was thinking of the bloodbath that would ensue if this thing came into existence.
"Since that's the case, let's destroy it," Liens said calmly.
"What?!"
Reid looked at Liens in a daze, as if he hadn't fully understood what Liens meant.
"No one can guarantee human nature. You handed this thing over to me to deal with, probably because you were worried that you or others would use it for evil."
"Since that's the case, then just destroy it."
Liens continued calmly.
"Aren't you going to reconsider? This is a treasure that can theoretically grow indefinitely."
"Is there a need to reconsider? I don't need this thing, and you don't dare to want this thing, which means it's useless and harmful to us. Since that's the case, then destroy it."
Looking at Liens, whose tone was calm and expression indifferent, respect arose in Reid's heart for this young man who was a generation younger than him.
It wasn't because of his strength, but because he felt genuine admiration for the realm of his thought and his awareness.
"I'll leave it to you to handle."
Reid once again solemnly handed over the box with both hands.
This time, Liens took the box and opened it to see a small vase wrapped in soft cloth. The vase was very beautiful, and faint flowing light shimmered on it, making it very ornate.
Liens didn't pay it much mind. He reached out and placed his hand on the vase, and then an invisible force erupted, sweeping across the entire vase like a ripple.
Liens withdrew his hand, and with that, the ornate vase turned into a pile of dust lying in the box.
Closing the box, Liens returned it to Reid and then asked him, "Is there anything else… Oh, how is the takeover of the Inner City going? You haven't encountered any trouble, have you?"
"The takeover of the Inner City went very smoothly. Although there was resistance from a small number of people in the middle, we quickly suppressed it."
"The only regrettable thing is that we didn't completely block all the fleeing nobles, and still allowed people from several families to escape Kara City."
Reid took the box and responded seriously.
"No harm… Besides the Glenbagen Family, the remaining nobles in Kara City at most only have two or three Extraordinary Ones."
"Given the situation outside the city now, they might not have run far before becoming food for many demonic beasts."
Liens said with a smile.
"More than that, you should worry about how to restore public trust. The things your Rebel Army did before left a very bad impression on many of the populace."
"Without the support of the populace, it will be very difficult for Kara City to recover from the war."
"I sincerely hope you don't become the next nobles."
Liens continued, his tone becoming a bit more serious.
"We are working hard to restore the Rebel Army's reputation. Five days later, Kara City will hold a ceremony, the theme of which is to announce the birth of New Kara City to the populace."
"Before then, we will strive to prove our ideals to the populace, to prove that we are different from the nobles."
"I hope you can supervise us. If there is anything we do wrong, please don't be polite and send us directly to join those nobles."
Reid looked at Liens firmly, making a military pledge to him.
"A mission, huh? That's not bad."
Feeling the belief conveyed from Reid, Liens couldn't help but curl his lips, revealing a faint smile.
After a night of effort, he had now initially established an "Anchor Point" centered on causality.
By establishing causal connections with others, he could convert the beliefs conveyed to him by others into the "soil" of humanity, thereby counteracting the influence of heaven and earth.
Although the deeper the causal connection, the greater a person's influence on him, in the face of a large base, the causality of individual people was actually not that important.
As the main reason for the end of this war, he had now basically established causal connections with the entire populace of Kara City.
Even if most of the populace didn't know of his "existence", they were invisibly influencing him.
The more positive the beliefs conveyed by the Kara City populace, the more positive the influence on him, and vice versa.
Of course, the beliefs of tens of thousands of people seemed like a lot, but a portion of it was lost by the time it reached him, and even less was converted into the "soil" of humanity.
Therefore, the current causality cannot counteract the influence of heaven and earth on him; it can only be considered a sip of water in the desert, merely quenching thirst.
Causality is different from faith. Initially, he was preparing to imitate deities by using faith as an "Anchor Point," but during his experiments, he found that although faith was purer than causality and could provide more beliefs, the problem that came with it was that faith would have a greater impact on him, and he would need to spend a lot of energy to maintain others' faith in him.
So, after a simple choice, he abandoned faith and chose causality, prioritizing quantity.
"If there's nothing else, please leave. I still need to continue cultivating."
Liens told Reid not to disturb him anymore if there was nothing else, as he was still preparing to perfect the "Anchor Point."
"It's getting late. Would you like to have breakfast? It has already been prepared for you and is placed outside the door," Reid asked.
"Eating?"
"Unknowingly, I've become further and further removed from ordinary people. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, yet my body feels no hunger at all."
Liens touched his stomach and sighed with emotion.
He knew this was due to the support of elements and other energies of heaven and earth. After establishing a connection with heaven and earth, this body began to become extraordinary.
When he was still in Hughes Town, his need for normal food had already begun to decrease, and most of his body's energy was maintained by absorbing elements and the energies of heaven and earth.
After officially stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, the support from heaven and earth became stronger for him. Now, he already had a feeling of "longevity through consuming ki."
"However, eating is not simply for filling one's stomach. Since it's already made, there's no need to waste it. Enjoying delicious food is also a pleasant activity."
"From now on, just give me a different breakfast each day. There's no need to send food at other times."
"Kara City is now in ruins, and ordinary people need to eat more than I do."
"There's too much food on that food cart outside the door. A cup of morning tea and a slice of bread will suffice."
Liens smiled slightly, then with a wave of his hand, the door opened, and a steaming cup of tea and a soft, fluffy slice of bread automatically floated into his hand.
"Then I won't disturb you any further. I will deliver breakfast on time every day, and in five days, we will undergo your inspection at that ceremony."
After speaking, Reid respectfully exited the room.
Liens walked to the window, gazing out at various parts of Kara City in the warm sunlight, slowly and carefully finishing the breakfast in his hand.
"I hope tomorrow will be better."
With a slight smile, Liens leaned against the wall again and entered the instance.
