Chapter 1055 The Secession n
Greem only read the request from Billis for an audience a monthter.
He had been busy with the matter of his bloodline recement and hadpletely cut off all connection to the outside world. It wasn’t until his bloodline reconstruction was sessful and he emerged to nurse his body and Spirit that he saw the list of requests for an audience presented by the tower spirit.
Any small changes to one’s bloodline was a significant affair, let alone a thorough bloodline recement like Greem had just undergone. As the bnce between his soul and his old bloodline had been shattered, Greem’s power had fallen to the bottom of the valley. He urgently needed to construct a power system with his new bloodline as the core.
It was going to be a long and challenging journey!
As such, Greem started nursing his body as best as he could once he emerged from the room.
He had already established several important phases in his mind for the seclusion this time.
Naturally, the first phase was the recement of his human bloodline with the starbeast’s bloodline. That allowed him to gain new bloodline talents.
The second phase was to construct some vital energy organs based on his new bloodline talents to rece the ‘outdated’ organs of his current body. The utmost priority of these organs was the me Fiend’s Heart.
The me Fiend’s Heart was no longer beneficial to Greem and often ended up as a burden in battle. Modifying the Heart into a true ‘heart of me’ was an absolute priority!
The third and final phase was the most crucial part of this seclusion. That was to use the origin substance to experience and master the principle powers, such that Greem might advance to Fourth Grade.
Of these three phases that Greem had established, the first two were to strengthen his foundations. He had to streamline and optimize all of his power systems rting to bloodline and magic prior to his advancement to ensure that these inefficiencies would not affect his future advancement past Fourth Grade.
Now, Greem had sessfully reced his bloodline with a starbeast bloodline. He had obtained the Chaos Physique and a reasonably potent bloodline talent. In doing so, he had sessfully achieved his goals for the first phase.
However, before he began the second phase, he still had to allow his body, his new bloodline, and his soul to be amodated with each other. He could then construct a new power system from the foundations. Thus, in the downtime between the two phases, Greem took the opportunity to learn more about the n’s internal affairs.
Many of the summarized reports presented by the tower spirit were routine work reports from the core members of the n; Greem didn’t need to interfere in these affairs. He only needed to have a basic understanding to be able to grasp the general trend of the n’s development.
There weren’t very many things in these reports that genuinely required Greem’s approval or instructions, but there were always a few.
For instance, Meryl had submitted an extremely ssified report from the White Tower in the Northern Lands that required urgent instructions from Greem. The Magic Energy Association, the underground organization established by Princess Vanessa, was starting to show signs of breaking from the Crimson n’s control.
Reports from moles nted in the Magic Energy Association revealed that the past four decades of development had allowed the Magic Energy Association to grow significantly. The Association was now a major force with over a hundred core members and nearly a thousand subordinates. Moreover, the Magic Energy Association had been showing signs of unrest recently. A shocking ‘Secession n’ was brewing within the organization!
This Secession n’s central idea was to liberate the Goblin ne from the Crimson n’s reign, thereby allowing the goblins to be the rulers of their ne once again.
The elementary stages of their n were to gather and organize the knowledge, system, and alchemical achievements of the World of Adepts, slowly siphoning and smuggling them to the Goblin ne. Once the higher-ups of the Magic Energy Association believed they had collected sufficient materials, the core members would employ ‘suicidal’ offensives to simultaneously destroy all teleportation arrays that connected the Goblin ne and the Crimson n.
Once the connection between the two worlds had been severed, they would have regained their ‘freedom’!
When that happened, the newly independent Goblin Empire would rely on the alchemical knowledge that the World of Adepts had umted for several hundreds of thousands of years as a foundation to walk down a path of magic energy development that suited the goblins.
This way, the goblins might be able to be a new major contender of the multiverse, rising amongst all the other nes!
Greem almost choked fromughing when he first read Meryl’s summary report on the Magic Energy Association. However, after some serious consideration, he couldn’t help but be somewhat impressed at the ingenuity of these little creatures.
Vanessa had never abandoned her identity as the princess of the goblins. She was always, constantly nning and scheming for the independence and rise of the goblin race. Their n might sound somewhat feasible and practical, but in truth, it was no more than ridiculous andughable.
Any random core adept of the Crimson n could easily crush this ‘Secession n’ they had been organizing for the past fifty years, let alone n Leader Greem himself.
Setting aside everything else, even their n to destroy the teleportation arrays, which they viewed as the key to their independence, was incredibly hrious.
Destroying the teleportation arrays would sever the Crimson n’s connection to the Goblin ne? That was such a childishlyughable thought!
To prevent such a situation from happening, the leaders of the n had already secretly buried special Locating Stones in five discreet ces in the Goblin ne. Even if the Magic Energy Association’s n seeded, the Crimson adepts would still be able to calcte the world coordinates of the Goblin ne through those Locating Stones.
When that happened, it would be a breeze to open a portal and invade with an elite group of adepts.
Moreover, the goblins’ worldview and perception of the universe were still too lowly. They had absolutely no concept of the intensity and bloodiness of development and evolution throughout the multiverse!
Goblins. Even a species as lowly and humble as them dared to dream of standing at the top of the universe?
Should Princess Vanessa learn of the fate of Morrian ne, she might never dream of such a thing again.
The Morrian ne was a powerful and prosperous empire of arcanists who possessed an arcane systemparable to even the adepts. Such a dominant race was attacked by an alliance of all the existing significant forces when they wanted to rise to be a major contender themselves, for seemingly no reason at all.
If one wanted to be an apex predator in this cruel and bloody universe, they would have to have the sharp ws and fangs required to deter their enemies. Otherwise, your battlecries would not only fail to intimidate, but they would even draw packs of carnivores upon yourself.
You might be sufficiently powerful in your own eyes, having conquered one weakling after another. However, in the eyes of real apex predators, your plump and growing flesh would only be delicious dishes.
Without the power to protect yourself, it would be much better to continue hiding in your pungent and dirty swamp and living out your isted, idyllic life, rather than expose yourself to the sights of these apex predators.
With the size of the multiverse and the vastness of the endless sea of stars, the predators would have a hard time finding a single ne to invade and enve, regardless of how powerful they were.
In truth, this was a paradox for the development of all nar worlds!
If the nar worlds chose to remain isted from the rest of the universe, they could avoid being discovered by potential predators. Yet, at the same time, it would be incredibly difficult for those civilizations to continue growing in power. After all, the resources in an isted nar world were finite. Though there was always a natural cirction of resources, the total amount of nar origin would remain the same. The number of lifeforms and substances that it could create would stay the same as well.
Why was the World of Adepts so powerful?
That was because the adepts stepped out of their ne and invaded countless other lesser nes, bringing back the resources and lives they found back to the World of Adepts. In doing so, the nar origin of the World of Adepts subtly grew and strengthened without stop. The World of Adepts could then create more substances and lifeforms, allowing all beings living within the ne to grow stronger and stronger.
Why was it that adepts looked down on the natives of lesser nes so much? It wasn’t just out of a psychological sense of superiority. Beings of the World of Adepts were superior to other nar natives in their biological construction and the quality of their souls.
The nar origin created all substances and lifeforms in a world. The empowered creatures of the ne would then bring back spoils from other worlds, indirectly nourishing the nar origin.
It was a fundamental principle in the development of a ne!
Without a powerful force interfering in this process, any ne would be able to be improved from its core through umtion over a long period of time.
However, for a ne to develop, the beings within would have to step out of their world to wage war, invade other worlds, to enve other people, or to engage in trade. They had to use all sorts of methods to find opportunities to strengthen their origin world.
However, once one stepped out of their ne and lit the fire of civilization for all to see, they would have exposed themselves in the blinding darkness. When that happened, would they be a predator that continued growing by devouring other nes? Or would they attract an even more powerful predator towards yourself and end up as prey instead?
It was utterly unknown!
As such, the rise of a nar civilization not only depended on formidable military strength, but incredible fortune as well. In fact, there were many times when luck was a more important factor than sheer might!
Greem was now at the peak of Third Grade. He stood before the threshold of this nar world’s peak of power. He could see more aspects and faces of the universe, the more realistic elements, and the more brutal aspects. Princess Vanessa, on the other hand, was no more than an advanced First Grade mechanical adept.
The World of Adepts that she saw was only the very surface. There was no way she could evere into contact with the more profound reasons that determined the status of the adept’s faction in the multiverse.
The more Greem understood about Princess Vanessa’s Secession n, the more he pitied her! He had to admit that Vanessa was an ambitious individual with great dreams. Unfortunately, she did not have the power required for her aspirations.
The higher her dreams, the more severe the damage she would inflict upon her own race.
If one were to be brutally honest, she would be destroyed and fall into despair with her dreams in her arms, dragging the entire goblin race, and even the entire Goblin ne, down into the abyss alongside her.
It was not something that could be changed by an individual’s ‘dreams’ and ‘willpower’!
