Chapter 81: I Use the Empire's Money to Fund Myself!

[This dream can indeed be considered ambitious, but it is far from your limit. I don't know what Mikael communicated with you, but looking at your performance in the Imperial Capital after that, and the choice to return to Nanling, it is enough to prove that you have understood one thing]

['The sublimator is the largest and highest technological crystallization of Terra, and any technology that changes the world is greater than the sublimator's change to the world. Unless you create a new system of cultivation that completely replaces the influence of the sublimator on society, what you do is only the minutiae and cannot change the world at all, but only add bricks and tiles to the reality of the supremacy of the sublimator.

The dark blue light flashed in Viscount Decas's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: [He didn't find the way, Mikael is still hesitating, and he is still walking the path of sublimation, but I have found one by one, even if he inherited his grandfather's inheritance, it is still me who took the first step]

[Ian, I don't ask you to make a choice now, we won't force a talented team of your level...... Whether it's me, Mikael, or Allegria victory, you'll be safe.]

[But I hope you can understand who has mastered the 'key ,...... of the new era in the future]

[And, who will make you transform this world faster]

The deep blue glow faded, and Ian fell into deep thought.

Viscount Ducasse shook his head, he looked at Ian and smiled helplessly, "Hmm...... I'm sure you'll understand what's going on, Baron...... In general, that's what happened."

"I have come by the will of His Highness Carlos, but it is only a small matter. Your Highness wants to recruit you, but he doesn't force it."

「...... I understand."

Ian spoke slowly, his eyes closed, lost in thought.

Just now, it was obvious that Viscount Decas was temporarily possessed by the Grand Prince of Carlos, and the 'divine power transmission has also become' deep divine power transmission, and the spiritual light body of the Imperial Grand Prince appeared directly in front of him, and he relied on his subordinates to talk to him.

And...... What he said really intrigued Ian.

Be. Today's Terra, no matter what technology is developed, is essentially a tinkering with the essence of the 'sublimation civilization' - in this world, there is no technology that ordinary people can use, sublimators can't use, and ordinary people use technology that works better than sublimators.

Because the essence of the sublimator is also a human being, but a group of people who are stronger and smarter, more calm, rational and self-aware, but have direct violence...... They can use all technologies to develop and grow themselves, and they are the crystallization of many advanced technologies.

If you want to change the entire Terra civilization, you need to start with the path of ascension itself.

Just like the 'arcane path' that Ian wanted to create, and the 'essentia heart' that followed...... This kind of direct transformation of the spiritual system is the right way to truly change the world.

And the Grand Prince of Carlos also saw this, unlike Mikael, who had not yet found a way and could only continue to practice and try to become a fifth-level person, Carlos may have found the 'Arcane Path' in his heart.

- Terra Continent is not the only smart person.

Sensing this, Ian felt a little comforted.

He didn't feel at all that all the smart and strong people in this world were his enemies,...... Maybe their dreams will conflict, but in some things, they can definitely walk side by side, or be prostituted by him.

Friend or foe, known or unrecognized, everyone can bring Ian what he wants and help him reach the heavens.

And for now...... The technology mastered by the Grand Prince of Carlos may be related to "divine power."

"You can lend your power to your subordinates, or you can help your subordinates by relying on your own light body...... It must have been Carlos' innate psionic ability, but it was later developed and became a completely new technology."

Ian thought to himself, and he suddenly felt a little abrupt: "Could it be ...... I'm on the way to the Spiritual Calamity, and the reason why I can be on the South Ridge and the Empire side, that

How quickly to develop the 'Cult of the Spirits, is there any technical support from the Great Prince's side?"

"Hmm. It can basically be said that it is certain that there may be the endorsement of the Marquis of Batun in the development of Nanling, but after the expansion of the Cult of the Spiritual Spirit, it is impossible for Mikael to carry himself in the background of the empire. The eldest prince should also cooperate with him."

"His divine power transmission system must have a great effect on the transformation of the 'Dead King Technique' into the 'Spirit God Technique' - the path in his heart is probably similar to the 'Century of the Gods, that is, with the Spirit God as the core, sheltering and ruling the people' belief system,"

Almost in a few seconds, Ian relied on the future and path he saw in the Prophetic Vision to reveal part of the Great Prince's long-hidden hole cards.

That's the power of the Prophet, and of course, because Ian is indeed Carlos' fellow travelers.

As Carlos said, the Grand Prince of the Empire...... Grasp the key to the next era.

"Carlos is not my enemy. But it's not really an ally."

Ian affirms this: "There is a limit to the path of spiritual calamity, and the evil of the void is. The power of all the spirits, combined with the power of destroying the world, cannot break through the Prison Star Prison, and this has been proven - the path of the Great Prince can indeed bring about a new era, and in this respect, he is indeed stronger than Mikael and Alegria, and he is worthy of being the eldest son of the Emperor."

"But I'm not going down the old path, he might help me speed up some of the denominations, but really cooperative...... Let's take a look."

"It doesn't interfere with prostitution."

As for killing Chris......

Please, is Ian justified in self-defense? Even if the eldest prince finds out about this in the future, then Ian will go and apologize.

Presumably, His Highness Carlos will surely forgive him for the mistake that this young man made because he was too young...... Right?

After confirming his attitude towards Carlos, Ian raised his head and looked at Viscount Ducas: "Your Highness is right, I am very supportive in my heart."

He lied when he opened his mouth, and his face was not only not red, but he looked very sincere: "To tell you the truth, after talking with His Highness Mikael, I have indeed realized that there is a huge gap between my current ability and my dreams, so I want to return to the territory, develop economy and technology, and dominate the hearts of the people......

"And after the Avak Territory incident, I have a different view of the human heart—a million souls are enough to create a subspace anomaly that envelops an entire viscount, so what about more people?

"In an attempt to find out the secrets behind the Avak Territory, I'm developing a sect ......

Ian showed a little bit to Viscount Dicas. Yes, but not much. And Viscount Dicas, who had been secretly observing for a long time and had long known the doctrine of the Spirit Cult and the Star Soul Sect, also had an expression as if he didn't know anything about it, and nodded in agreement, appreciating Ian: "It's worthy of you, you have actually started to practice, and this kind of action ability is really a first-class young man!"

"Don't dare to be a ......"

Ian shook his head, "Overall, I think the Grand Prince is right. But it's true that I don't really want to make a decision yet, it's too early for me and it's a big hindrance to my research......

"Don't worry."

Viscount Decass waved his hand and said proudly: "Your Highness is not asking you to make a choice now, what he hopes is that we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future - if you have research or experience in related fields, you can share it with us, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

"The Flint Group is certainly rich, but in front of His Highness, it is just a small fight."

This hint of 'I'm rich, come and lie to me' made Ian understand, and he nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course. Technology still needs soil to germinate, and if I want to hatch the practical version of technology I want, His Highness's power must be indispensable...... I'm looking forward to working with us in the future!"

"Hmm."

Viscount Ducas also nodded in satisfaction

"I'm looking forward to it."

"And as a demonstration of our sincerity...... Look, Baron."

With that, he handed over a blank paper.

Ian took it with some curiosity, and then saw a line of words.

【Imperial Orthodox Qualification Certificate】

The name on the back is blank, waiting for Ian to fill it in by himself, and the official seal of Nanling and the Empire has been sealed, and even the official signatures have been completed.

Saliva. Ian was slightly shocked in his heart, it seemed that the Soul Worship Sect was noticed by someone with a heart at the first time, and was paid attention to by the eldest prince.

Sure enough, this guy is very interested in the sect and thinks he has the potential to do it!

But that's not a bad thing.

In this way, the Cult of the Spiritual God is not an underground cult, a folk belief of the mountain people, but a normal sect recognized by the empire - although the four major orthodox churches say so, it is only the orthodox religion of the whole Taila, and there are still many folk beliefs and small churches in various regions, which are officially recognized by the local authorities.

When the time comes, not only can you preach openly, but you can also get subsidies from the imperial government, and all you need to do is to cooperate with the imperial official to carry out some propaganda at the critical moment, and cooperate with the imperial official to carry out various mobilization activities.

And who is the official representative of the empire in Southridge?

He is a noble lord of various territories.

And who is the lord?

It's Ian himself.

Now it's okay, Ian takes care of himself, mobilizes himself, and uses the funds of the empire to fund his own sectarian activities!

- Good sincerity!

"Thank you very much!"

Looking away from the papers, Ian reached out and thanked him sincerely, "This is exactly what I need!"

"No thanks."

And Viscount DeCasse also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Ian's hand: "Then the next thing is to officially award you the medal and transfer the reward of the Empire."

"Your Highness has secured the lion's share of aid for you."

"Trust me, we're definitely happy to work together."
