So that they could develop and cooperate with other countries with peace of mind in the future, but the time for that hasn't come yet, and Theresia couldn't do it.
Teresis's eyes drooped slightly, as if unwilling.
If I can't make this country better, then what reason do I have to fight so hard?
Isn't it all the same whether there's a Demon King or not?
In the original plot, both Teresis and Theresia were on the side of the people's hatred.
Brother knows that sister's ideals can lead Kazdel out of the cycle of endless destruction.
But the Sarkaz people don't understand, and have no reason to understand, because their lives have not changed one bit from beginning to end.
After hundreds of years, this land is still barren and dilapidated, coupled with constant harassment from foreign races, so with the addition of hatred, the other half of the Sarkaz decided to blow up the world.
So Huang Cao has always had a question: if Kazdel's development had improved and the people's living standards had increased during these hundreds of years, would the siblings still have parted ways?
This is a question worth studying.
"Actually, solving Leithania is also very simple. Attract the elite troops of this country to take the initiative to attack. After beating them hard, they naturally won't have any more ideas."
Perhaps curious about future developments, Huang Cao added a few more words.
"Even if they have ideas, they have to weigh whether it's worth it."
"There's also Gaul lurking nearby. Wasting precious national strength on Kazdel is not a wise move."
Recalling the future battle of the Four Emperors, it was Gaul who was destroyed, not Kazdel.
Moreover, the main battlefield of the war was actually in Leithania.
This shows from the side that the relationship between these two countries is definitely not good.
"Your Highness, I came from Yan Country, so I have read some military strategies. Military books state that future wars will absolutely not only be a contest of military strength, but also a political game."
"Sometimes, just one sentence spoken at the negotiating table is enough to plunge an entire country into the abyss of war.
But it is also possible that because of this one sentence, a country can gain a very important bargaining chip in future wars, and even directly decide a victory."
"War, war has completely changed, respected Your Highness Teresis, I hope you understand."
The young man's words were moving. Teresis, who reacted to his words, couldn't help but marvel at the other's wisdom.
Even though this wisdom was unremarkable in the eyes of the high-level officials of each country, it was so pleasing to the ears of the young Teresis.
Because he had never heard such an idea, and even in the vast and smoky historical books of the Sarkaz, such an idea could not be found.
Because in the past, this race did not need any bargaining; strength alone was enough to crush everything.
But now times have changed.
There will be another update this afternoon! 2
Chapter 51: Abundance Pathfinder? I won't do it!
"Is it possible, Mr. Huang, I have a position here for you..."
Teresis's eyes flickered with the same fire as his sister's just now.
However, the difference between these siblings was that one was about the body, and the other was about the mind.
The sister craved the body, and the brother craved the mind.
One wanted the Grass-eating Demon bloodline to come and work for her quickly, and the other wanted Huang Cao's wisdom and foresight to work for him.
These siblings were something else, wanting Huang Cao in both mind and body.
Although strictly speaking, they were both for legitimate purposes...
"I guess this position might be below two people, but above ten thousand."
"How do you know? If that's the case..."
"So I refuse!" Huang Cao decisively refused the other's offer to work.
"Putting aside whether you have actually assessed my abilities, and moreover, I have stayed in Yan Country for too long. What I said is merely my judgment based on my experience, and I have not conducted any on-site investigations of Kazdel."
"Your Highnesses, as the highest decision-making bodies of the country, don't always think about pushing your work onto others. If you don't know how to do it, then go and learn."
"Don't not do it just because you don't know how. Every country in the world has its own national conditions."
Huang Cao was giving them a pep talk at this moment, but this pep talk was not wrong.
If you don't know how to govern a country, go and learn. If you can't learn, go and investigate other countries.
In the vast Sarkaz Royal Court, can't they find a master of disguise?
In this era, even electricity is not popularized. Although cameras exist, they are bulky.
Ordinary people would have no way of knowing the appearances of these two siblings.
The power that Huang Cao possessed indeed came from the selfless Abundance. The Pharmacist, through him as a medium, was also paying attention to Terra.
And hoping that the people of this land could live a better life under Huang Cao's care.
However, in the Pharmacist's words, it was only a request for Huang Cao to do his best.
Because even if Huang Cao achieved great success and transformed the land of Terra into a paradise of abundant resources overnight, would the contradictions in this world not exist?
A momentary change would only lead to greater disaster.
Huang Cao had also been contemplating what to do in the future; managing a civilization was a huge pressure for him.
Was being full simply the end of all problems?
[Possessing my power does not mean you have become an Abundance Pathfinder; only the truly selfless can.]
The Pharmacist did not demand that Huang Cao, who had received her power, become an Abundance Pathfinder, nor did the responsibility for this land fall upon him.
Thinking about it, was the contradiction in this world truly about being full or not being full?
After bidding farewell to Teresis and Lamian, Huang Cao walked alone through the ruined streets of the capital of Kazdel, lost in thought.
Undoubtedly, everything he was doing now was an attempt to change the country of Kazdel.
But all of it came at a price.
During his time in the small town, Huang Cao had acquired his initial startup capital by selling expensive grain. Even after finding a gold mine, the price of grain had not changed at all.
Despite this, according to Huang Cao's understanding, since his arrival, no one in the town had starved to death.
The high price of food was due to greed. He wasn't a good person at that time, just an ordinary person who had just gained power.
However, at that time, Huang Cao did not understand what abundance meant, nor did he know about the Pharmacist's existence or the upper limit of his own power.
If Huang Cao had truly implemented the doctrine of the Abundance Pathfinder and fed everyone in Kazdel during this period.
Once the Sarkaz had their survival secured, the only desires left besides survival would be an unquenchable thirst for revenge.
Revenge against this land.
Because it had been less than twenty years since the war ended, after they had eaten their fill, the Sarkaz would naturally seek trouble with countries around the world.
National and personal vendettas – how could they be eliminated by a temporary full stomach?
Could everyone here listen to Huang Cao? If they didn't, what should Huang Cao do, now that he had decided to become a true Abundance Pathfinder?
Should he allow these Sarkaz to march on other countries, causing devastation and bloodshed? Wouldn't that also violate the definition of an Abundance Pathfinder?
Wouldn't Huang Cao, who caused all of this, be caught between a rock and a hard place?
If Huang Cao planted seeds in every Sarkaz who was fed and manipulated their thoughts at will, wouldn't that be harming them?
Did the deep-seated hatred of the Sarkaz not need to be avenged? These matters could not be resolved simply by being fed.
Extending his thoughts further, Huang Cao immediately removed his physical limitations and transformed the entire land of Terra into a paradise.
But even so, the rifts between races and the historical conflicts between nations would not disappear.
Emotional issues were always a gap that intelligent life could not completely bridge.
Moreover, the superior races in this world were naturally more powerful than the inferior races; the theory of bloodlines truly held true here.
After the worries of survival were resolved, the world would belong to these superior races.
At this point, should Huang Cao slaughter these superior races in the name of abundance?
This also did not align with the definition of abundance.
Furthermore, ambitious individuals would not become benevolent just because they were fed; they would only pursue greater benefits. Would Huang Cao then have to distribute more power or even lifespan to these people?
From the moment he met the Pharmacist and heard the definition of abundance, Huang Cao was destined not to become an Abundance Pathfinder.
Ultimately, it was because Huang Cao's power was too immense, and his wisdom and mindset could not match this power.
The chain reaction caused by using such great power was something that Huang Cao, who was not even forty years old, could not handle.
An Abundance Pathfinder was undoubtedly great and selfless, but at the same time, it was the most difficult path to tread.
It easily led to the paradox of good and evil, from which even the Pharmacist could not escape.
It wasn't that the Pharmacist didn't care about the aftermath; it was simply that she couldn't manage it. The limitations of the path of abundance made it impossible for her to intervene.
"It's hard to be a good person, and to be a bad person... I can't do that either."
Having said this, Huang Cao decided that until he understood all of this, he could only accumulate experience one step at a time.
But as he thought, he became increasingly agitated, stuck in a state where he couldn't be good, nor could he be bad.
Finally, Huang Cao cast his thoughts aside, deciding to stop worrying so much.
"So I'm not doing this Abundance Pathfinder thing anymore! Whoever wants to do it can do it! I don't believe this power can turn bad in my hands!"
In his dream, the Pharmacist also told her own story to Huang Cao.
Wasn't the Pharmacist an Abundance Pathfinder? On the contrary, she was the greatest Abundance Pathfinder in the entire universe, and the best one at that. Everything she did perfectly fit the definition of abundance.
But contrary to her power, the Pharmacist had a poor reputation in her universe.
Even a grand existence like a Star God could not resolve this matter, so why should he dwell on it?
With this in mind, Huang Cao decided to just be himself. Wasn't what he was doing now leading the people around him towards a better life?
It could only be said that the scale of change was insufficient, but if the scale of change were large enough, the harm caused would not be limited to just one or two people.
Because any Terra was a super pitfall.
This Terra, filled with catgirls, was no exception, nor was the Terra next door where giants roamed.

Chapter 52: Big T: The Protagonist Hasn't Slept Either
That night, neither sibling slept.
Theresia plunged headfirst into the Sarkaz library, trying to find a way to save the nation within its books.
But it was all in vain. If there truly was a way to save the nation within books, the Lich, who had already completely left this country, wouldn't have failed to try it.
As for Teresis, he had many questions he wanted to ask Huang Cao.
The man had an intuition that Huang Cao's impact on Kazdel would likely be more profound than that of all the Lords of the Royal Court present.
Therefore, he wanted to continue a deep conversation with this Mr. Huang. After all, as a super Terra-person, his physical condition was strong, and he could go days without sleep.
Moreover, he believed that Huang Cao at this time definitely wouldn't be sleeping either.
Huang Cao indeed hadn't slept, but this was the Terra version.
However, halfway there, Teresis saw that Huang Cao was actually staying in the same room as the Banshee Royal Court Lord.
Just how familiar are these two? Or have they met before...
It was then that Teresis remembered that during the meeting today, their actions seemed unusually intimate.
Perhaps the two of them had indeed known each other before.
Theresia knew that Huang Cao and Lamian had known each other for a long time, but she hadn't told her brother.
Considering it was already late, barging in unannounced would be quite rude.
If Lamian hadn't been there, Teresis wouldn't have cared about etiquette and would have simply kicked open the door for a true man's talk.
But with a woman present now, it was different, especially since she was his sister's good friend.
