Hearing the name Messiah, a trace of understanding and some relief flashed across Lynch's eyes. This Bright Goddess of the Third-tier Domain was indeed one of the most important anchors he left in the Jade Land.

Originally, he used the power of the system to shape this existence based on faith to cope with the complex situation in the Jade Land. Unexpectedly, in the face of such a world-sweeping disaster, she truly played a decisive role.

Fred continued his report with an apologetic tone: "My lord, due to this disaster, a large amount of manpower and resources are needed everywhere for relief and reconstruction... I'm afraid the few large-scale underground ruin excavation projects you've been particularly concerned about will have to be temporarily suspended for a while. We need to prioritize the survival of the populace and the restoration of order."

Lynch remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

Fred's report did not differ much from his expectations, and the situation might even be more severe than described.

He said solemnly, "I understand. Fred, your decision is correct. Halt the excavation, concentrate all resources on disaster relief, stabilize order, and comfort the people. Tell them that the Lord of Emerald is with them."

His voice carried an undeniable power through the Magic Mirror: "If there is any need or an unforeseen event occurs, contact me through the Magic Mirror at any time."

"Yes! I will faithfully follow your command, my lord!" Fred bowed deeply again, a complex expression of relief mixed with a sense of responsibility on his face.

The light of the Magic Mirror slowly dimmed, and the mirror surface returned to normal.

Lynch leaned back in his chair, rubbing his brow.

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight. This ancient saying echoed in his mind at this moment.

Power often means heavy responsibility. As the Lord of Emerald, it's not just a noble title, nor a position where one can rest easy by being a hands-off leader.

The safety and welfare of countless beings in this vast land, even the fire of civilization, need his protection, his crucial decisions, and his negotiation and coordination of resources between each Witch Domain.

This pressure is far beyond what he faced when he only needed to focus on his own cultivation in the past.

"To be honest, it was actually more relaxed back in the Shadow Tower." Lynch couldn't help but recall when he was still an apprentice, with nothing to worry about.

It indeed was like that.

At the Shadow Tower, when he wanted knowledge, someone provided it to him.

The cultivation resources he needed were ready and waiting for him.

He never worried about the expenditure of Magic Stones.

Even his daily needs were thoroughly taken care of.

Thinking of this, Lynch couldn't help but feel nostalgic for that carefree apprentice era.

He missed that name.

"I wonder... how things are over there now." Lynch furrowed his brow as a complex emotion crossed his eyes.

He had already arranged for personnel to go to the Ancient Ruins to ascertain the specific situation.

In the past, his complete indifference to that place was not because he didn't care but because he didn't have the capacity to consider it.

The disputes in the Ancient Ruins are conflicts between Purebloods and Muggle Species.

Between Wizard Families and the Truth Church.

It had risen to the Domain Level.

Although Lynch had advanced to the Domain, the differences between Domains are enormous, even greater than that between Apprentices and Wizards, or between Wizards and the Mystical Level, or even between the Early Stage and Late-stage Mystical Level.

With his strength at the Domain Early Stage in the Jade Land, he was powerless to intervene.

Not to mention, the Dark Princess Margaret had far surpassed him at that time, let alone the inscrutable Wise Man Erodion.

However, the situation now is different.

After being nurtured in Fran over these years, especially after emerging from the Lost Tower, his abilities had undergone earth-shattering changes.

In terms of raw strength, his Spirit Law had risen to Level 76, and his total spiritual power was close to sixty million, reaching the peak of the Middle Domain, just a few steps away from the Late Domain. Also, the Rule Fruit and other materials he brought back from Strange Tree Island filled him with confidence about smoothly advancing to the Late Domain.

In terms of the depth of Knowledge Laws, he was an anomaly—the three arduous pathways of Space, Time, and Decay, not only did he tread them simultaneously, he also pushed them all to the pinnacle of Domain Level!

The power unleashed by the combination of these three highly advanced Laws far exceeds the imagination of ordinary Domain Wizards. Now, the only thing limiting his grasp of the rule threshold was the still lacking mysterious and elusive Soul Law.

If purely discussing combat and survival capabilities, Lynch was confident that with the synergy of the Triple MAX-level Domain Law, combined with the Ifrid's Sword, which possessed limitless potential, and various trump cards, he feared no Domain Wizard in this world!

Even those old monsters who had been entrenched in the Late Domain for years, although he might not be able to defeat them, he was confident in handling them calmly and escaping unscathed.

Moreover, over these years in Fran, he had cultivated strong connections.

His friendships with powerful figures like Space and Vanilla, Dean Abbas, and even the Space Truth Guerwige... along with the influence he gradually established among the upper echelons, transformed him, Lynch, the Lord of Emerald, from a rootless newcomer to a true giant in the Wizard World that no one could ignore!

He now fully possessed the ability and capital to intervene in, and even affect, the situation in the Ancient Ruins.

The only thing that openly restricted him was perhaps the unwritten rule from the Supreme Council stating that "the internal affairs of each Witch Domain must not be openly interfered with by external forces."

But as the saying goes, rules are dead, and people are alive; haven't there been enough rebellious acts in the Tower of Order?

As long as he could manage it well and gain backing from powerful individuals behind the scenes, even if he did something, it wouldn't be entirely impossible—especially if he operated discreetly, ensuring not to leave any leaks.

After all, it's just a matter of changing names; hasn't he used names like Saphiro, Arthas, and Diablo before?

He was never one to stick strictly to rules anyway.

"Strength, it always comes down to strength!"

Shaking his head, Lynch refocused his thoughts on what truly mattered. Although his current strength was enough to take action, it was far from sufficient to decisively determine that Witch Domain's fate with an unquestionable finality.

In these years, while he was improving, others couldn't possibly be stagnated either.

Especially that monster Erodion, a legendary existence with a Fifth Rank Wizard Talent, who transcended all as a Muggle, becoming a Witch Master of a Witch Domain in merely a few centuries, and ultimately overturned the entire domain's rules.

Moreover, having tread the path of a Faith Wizard—a so-called dark path—though it's unknown how he avoided soul pollution, over the years, there's been no problem reported about him or his Truth Church, proving that he had indeed made progress on the Faith Wizard path.

Lynch knew better than anyone the power of faith. The Bright Goddess he created had reached the Domain stage in such a short time, her growth rate even faster than his.

How terrifying has Erodion grown these years down his faith-powered path?

The population of the Ancient Ruins is certainly no less than that of the Jade Land.

"Keep pushing forward!"

Shaking off his messy thoughts, Lynch left the study and entered the Cultivation Room.
