Clear all Originium around the altar...
After Presis's hint, Huang Cao finally understood why his vision was being interfered with.
The Power of Abundance he had just used was merely supplementary; the true driving force behind his creations' rapid growth was Originium.
If he didn't want to be interfered with, he could simply switch the power source to the Power of Abundance.
In a sense, this could be considered discovering a minor flaw in his own body.
Seeking votes for support, thank you everyone!
Chapter 65: Stand-ins Attract Each Other
So that's how it is...
If he encountered experts who could directly evade Originium in the future, he wouldn't be startled.
A moment's lapse in concentration during combat could be fatal. Although, with his recovery rate, no one should be able to inflict fatal damage on him currently.
However, Presis seemed to have something to tell him.
"Your power is more wondrous than I imagined. Is this perhaps the project of some unknown researcher? Can you tell me about it?"
As Presis, reflected in the water, spoke these words, her tone was uncharacteristically silent for a moment, and she finally spoke in a gentler tone.
This surprised Huang Cao quite a bit, as he considered himself the main culprit behind the disruption of someone's salvation plan.
"It's a shame it's useless to tell you, we're not on the same level at all."
Huang Cao played coy, mimicking Kal'tsit's tone as he recited a lot of meaningless nonsense.
Occasionally teasing the Cyber Ghost wasn't a bad thing; after all, her importance in the Ark's storyline was also average.
Terra's top-tier "heavy women" truly lived up to their reputation.
In the game Arknights, there were three tiers of "heavy women."
The first tier was Lao Pu, on a cosmic level.
The second tier was Theresia, on a civilization level.
The third tier was Amiya, on a normal family relationship level.
This ranking wasn't about who loved the Doctor more in the original story, but rather about the different meanings they represented.
After all, everyone was putting pressure on the Doctor.
But it didn't matter, because with himself here, Doctor would no longer have such suffocating pressure in the future!
"How do you know it's useless if you don't tell me?"
"Do you really want to hear? Then I'll reluctantly tell you. You'd better listen word for word!"
For the next half hour, Presis finally understood how annoying her pet cat could be.
The riddles this guy spouted, while seemingly related, were only tangentially connected, like a science fiction novel.
Moreover, whenever a crucial piece of information was about to be revealed, he would stop right at the brink of disclosure, making it incredibly frustrating.
It wasn't just others who would get annoyed; even Presis would turn into a furious "hakimi" after listening.
What had her cat experienced in these thirty thousand years? And why would this man say he learned from Kal'tsit?
Didn't her cat and this man just meet?
Then the question arose: who did Kal'tsit learn her long, nonsensical, and difficult-to-understand riddles from?
Seeing that she wouldn't get the information she wanted, Presis didn't rush. She let out a light laugh, brushed the surface of the water, and left.
She came quickly and left just as fast...
Meanwhile, Kal'tsit, feeling as if she'd been thoroughly criticized, suddenly sneezed.
"Has the weather turned cold so quickly?"
Kal'tsit muttered, glancing at the sky before starting a bonfire under a withered tree.
It was getting late. Even an iron man needed rest, and she had to scout the capital of Kazdel tomorrow.
As a master of scattered assassination, Kal'tsit was very confident in her stealth abilities.
At the same time, she was eager to know if Kazdel had changed after the war.
It was hard to say whether Kal'tsit's actions of starting the war were right.
For Kazdel, it was definitely wrong, extremely wrong. The grievances of national and familial hatred couldn't be washed away, and it even sowed the seeds for future division.
Whether what she did was right or wrong, Kal'tsit herself wasn't entirely sure even now.
Kal'tsit was currently contemplating this. As a true member of this land.
Theoretically, this big cat's mindset had already betrayed her; she had developed an attachment to this land even before meeting Theresia.
Later, drawn by Theresia's noble ideals, she decided to take a gamble with her creator.
This gamble was no small matter; with a snap, she had dragged her entire household into it.
Directly putting the Doctor in an impossible situation, where no one was happy.
It's impossible to kill them, and it's impossible to let them go. I'm being tormented to the point of shutting down.
Until they were captured and imprisoned for several hundred years by Big T and Small T in the unofficial histories, they finally behaved.
Salute to the legendary unofficial histories! Love Cat TV's Big T and Small T!
Kal'tsit shook the gold coins in her bag, her thoughts drifting back to Eden.
Is the answer in Eden or in Kazdel?
Meanwhile.
Theresia, far away in the capital of Kazdel, had not slept either.
The Demon King plunged herself into the library, immersing herself wholeheartedly in the survival of civilization.
She tried to find a way for the Sarkaz to break through their predicament in the records of past Demon Kings.
As for the letter handed to the King of Leithanian, it had long since been delivered.
Leithanian indeed stopped attacking Kazdel, but the situation on the border remained precarious.
The current King of Leithanian continued to deploy troops to the border, but dared not approach Kazdel.
This was actually normal. After all, a sudden withdrawal would definitely attract the attention of the nearby blast furnaces. Maintaining the status quo was the best approach.
This would only lead other countries to believe that Leithanian had merely changed its combat deployment, rather than truly intending to retreat.
However, Theresia's heart could not settle.
The news of victory could not be kept secret forever, as the participants in the battle were not only Huang Cao, but also the Lords of the Royal Court and their subordinates.
Even after the battle ended, the bodies and blood of the Leithanian soldiers were divided among the Blood Demons and Corpse Eaters, but what about the armor and artifacts left behind?
Theresia was very afraid, not of being scolded by the Sarkaz for suppressing the news of victory.
She was afraid that after tasting victory, the Sarkaz would no longer be able to suppress the fire of revenge in their hearts and would want to use this opportunity to avenge their past humiliation.
Then the development conditions that had been painstakingly established would be broken again. Would they have to be beaten again?
Kazdel should not belong only to war; this country should not only have mercenaries!
Lost in these thoughts, Theresia gradually began to doubt the meaning of conflict.
Why do the countries and peoples on this land fight each other?
Can't they abandon their past grievances and walk towards the future together?
The contents of the books could not help the Demon King escape her current predicament, nor could the wails of the souls in the crown make Theresia change her mind.
What should I do? What can I do?
Can Kazdel truly continue to survive on this land?
This most gentle Demon King in history was, at this very moment, creating the ideals she would uphold, ideals that could save all of Kazdel...
Thus, over the next few months, Theresia's thinking gradually ascended to a level beyond this era.
But it was not enough, as others were needed to add a touch of crisis and justification to her ideals.
And that person was on their way to Kazdel.

Chapter 66 Ji: Good tea! I'll send some to my sister.
As some of you may recall, a few months ago, when Huang Cao was fighting in the Demon King's Palace against Leithanian forces.
To demonstrate Eden's sincerity, Warfarin had a Calamity Messenger deliver a tin of tea to Yan Country.
This tin of tea, however, took a full three months to reach Yan Country after its winding journey.
"This tin of tea."
A noble man named Ji opened the tin can containing the tea with his knife and brought a leaf to his nose to smell it.
The aroma of the tea was top-tier, surpassing even the finest teas in Yan Country.
This was a good tea. Although it hadn't been roasted, it was still an exceptional tea that was hard to come by.
Sister, what can I use to alleviate the pain you are suffering?
Ji muttered, carefully examining the tea leaves in his hand.
How do you brew tea that hasn't been dried? Are you supposed to just chew on it dry?
Fortunately, Warfarin had written detailed instructions on how to consume this tea in her letter.
Just eat it directly. High-end ingredients only require the simplest cooking methods!
Ji read the letter carefully and discovered that many of the phrases within it subtly hinted that this tea possessed extraordinary medicinal effects.
