"What's the matter?" Lady Merston frowned, "Feel free to raise any issues. The title of Lord Ao Sha wasn't obtained without reason."

"You know the situation of the First Prince."

Doctor Jin Jielie paused and said:

"The First Prince, Leoz the Dawnbreaker, he did not inherit the life force talent of the Royal Family, and is essentially a waste on the Pathway."

"Indeed, in the Border Abyss where strength rules and the fittest survive, if the leader is a waste, he simply cannot practice the Dawnbreaker Family's Pathway of Redemption, and cannot shoulder the responsibilities of the royalty."

Lady Merston gently shook her head:

"But there's no choice, he's the only one left in the family."

"The Dawnbreaker Family and the Dawn Royal Family laid the foundation with the Power of Redemption, providing a vast amount of quality Pathway of Redemption talents to the Border Abyss, once relying on the convenience of the Underwater Abyss Port to dump medical resources on Layer Abyss, thus creating the current nation."

"To put it plainly, the entire Oxiulia is just a disguised medical academy as a nation, relying only on the people's own farming and meager handicrafts, making it impossible to support over a million People of the Border Abyss."

"Especially now, when the cheap, high-quality labor from the Layer Abyss is absent, even the food supply cannot be self-sufficient, added to the fact that Oxiulia's pillar industries have actually been interrupted, leading to political instability and economic decline — at this time, supporting an incapable person who can't practice the Pathway of Redemption is essentially sending the nation into the fire."

After Lady Merston finished speaking, she looked at Doctor Jin Jielie:

"You just wanted to say that, right?"

"Leoz the Crown Prince wouldn't be a suitable choice. Even if you could protect him until adulthood, it would only increase his worries and responsibilities, leaving him to face the whole nation and Narrative Civilization alone—"

"I am his aunt."

Lady Merston stated plainly, with her exposed skin turning into porcelain and the divine pressure silently diffusing:

"Anyone who dares to harm Leoz, Lord Ao Sha Merston will ensure they never return their soul to the Nether Abyss."

Doctor Jin Jielie was silent for a moment, not yielding to the divine power oppression, even when facing a Sigma (18) rank demigod, he would not retreat.

"I just think that His Highness Leoz shouldn't bear so much pressure, perhaps we should secretly spend more effort searching for the Second Prince's whereabouts."

"I currently only have this nephew, with whom I share the same blood."

Merston withdrew her divinity and restored her original gentle and harmless dignified lady image.

"If you have the whereabouts of the Second Prince, report it to me anytime, but my focus will be more on the living Leoz now — even if he's a waste, he's a waste that Lord Ao Sha Merston protects."

...Although they say those with the title Feng Qing have some psychological issues, it's said to be because of too much contact with the Starry Abyss.

But when truly facing such individuals, there's still significant psychological pressure, and ordinary people don't even have the thought of resistance.

"I will collect the Second Prince's information."

Jin Jielie nodded.

"That's all for today." Lady Merston said lightly, "Return to Destiny Fort, incidentally Little Leoz has reached one year old, you should also conduct a routine checkup."

"Yes."

..............

"It's already been a year."

Leoz sat beside the big bed. The Oxiulia People develop quickly, in just one year he has reached a level equivalent to a three-year-old child of the Azure Star.

The breastfeeding period lasted less than two months, then he could eat soft meals, followed by proteins and processed vegetables, and now, at the age of one, there are no dietary issues.

Looking at the mirror, Leoz once again sighed at how correct his choice had been.

The child in the mirror had red lips and white teeth, a delicate face blurring the boundaries of species and gender, anyone with vision would involuntarily fixate on this pure and beautiful face.

His short blonde hair was like a ray of dawn at daybreak, fluttering in the wind, giving a sense of rising hope.

This appearance was too endearing, even Leoz himself wanted to rub his golden hair and cute face.

Of course, the most striking thing about him was those deep blue eyes.

Profound, serene, indifferent.

This was precisely the manifestation of Leoz's soul.

Independent free will would not let him reincarnate as a child and turn into a child's playful character, even with different hormone levels, his nature would not be affected.

Lucite indeed found a very good way.

In this infant's body, the integration of Li Aozi and Leoz had taken a further step, now whether self-referred as Li Aozi or Leoz, it made no difference.

"Not only does it possess Leoz's efficient and cold thinking, but it also extends Li Aozi's humane aspect — at this rate, perhaps in less than a hundred years, divinity and humanity could perfectly blend!"

It truly is... amazing.

This is exactly what Leoz, as a Cannon Fodder Deity, hoped to achieve.

"The only trouble is that we're still in the Pathway integration phase, the system panel can't show any data. I could browse forums and players though, and continue using the Invincible True General to crush novices."
