Get up, Xiar remembered this special term from his past life playing games.
It was said that this portal connected to the source of the world, and once opened, it could grant divine power. This was why that organization would stop at nothing to open the Source Gate.
"The Source Gate is located on the eastern coast of the Empire, west of Tirisfal County, just a few hundred kilometers away from Farn County, and less than five hundred kilometers from Shining Gold Town. This recent upheaval is precisely because they want to attract the Empire's attention in preparation for opening the Source Gate."
After hearing about the riots from Field, Xiar's heart trembled as he realized that the wheels of History were turning inexorably, dragging the entire world into endless disaster.
The widespread chaos engulfing the Empire and the massive invasions by nomadic tribes from the north and south were all part of that organization's behind-the-scenes conspiracy to divert the Empire's attention, not to weaken its power.
However, no one expected that the Empire's already decayed system had given rise to countless brutal Lords, subjecting numerous civilians and even merchants to harsh treatment. The various oppressive taxes had become unbearable.
This riot merely served as a catalyst but successfully ignited a spark that ultimately spread throughout the Empire and even the entire world.
Even the Lorensath Empire located along the Eastern Highway could not escape disaster, let alone those kingdoms that fell apart one after another, ceasing to exist!
"With Two Great Empires and dozens of kingdoms possessing over a hundred divine beasts, they were far stronger than their opponents. Yet due to the decaying and backward bureaucratic system of the Empire, those great nobles were preoccupied with pleasure-seeking, even engaging in absurd acts reminiscent of playing with fire among feudal lords, leading the entire Empire down the path of destruction."
Xiar felt no waves in his heart; having studied Flowering Family History, he knew that no matter how powerful an empire was, it could not withstand internal decay. Even in another world, it was no different.
Although today's emperor was ambitious and talented, attempting reforms from top to bottom to bring new life to the Empire.
Unfortunately, the vast foundations of thousand-year-old families could not be easily shaken by a single emperor; it required a long time for gradual progress.
"And he probably doesn't even know that he has just over a year left to live; in some future moment, he will be assassinated by his most beloved son..." A hint of pity appeared on Xiar's face; this was truly a classic case of dying before achieving success.
Assassinated at the start of a world war, becoming the fuse for a brutal conflict that swept across the globe.
One by one, "protagonists" rose to power; each of the Two Great Empires had one trying desperately to save this crumbling empire.
In the end, one protagonist reached the pinnacle, completely integrating imperial forces and defeating the other two major powers, thus bringing an end to this battle.
"I am too weak now; I am of no use in this war, and it's even difficult to save my family," Xiar increasingly felt his own weakness.
In the future scenes, those protagonists rose amidst the chaos, each possessing extraordinary talents and unbeatable luck favored by the world. They transformed their Main Totems through Super Evolution into divine beasts, ultimately aiming for even greater heights.
"I really don't believe that having cheats is worse than these protagonists!" Xiar was confident in his Evolution Modulator, especially after understanding the source of Evolution Points, which gave him the courage to compete with those individuals.
But where did the Evolution Points he initially possessed come from?
A question surfaced in his mind, leaving him puzzled. After all, he had previously possessed over a dozen Evolution Points. Was such a substantial number a beginner's gift for crossing over?
"Brother Xiar, when we reach Storm Harbor, will you take me for a walk by the sea? I heard there's a newly opened estate there, beautifully decorated!" Tiffany looked at him with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
"Um, I have other matters to attend to. Let Field accompany you," Xiar straightforwardly refused, causing Field behind him to roll his eyes.
Tiffany's affection for him was evident to anyone who wasn't blind, but whether it was the original Xiar or the current one, he had no interest in her.
Though she was a noble lady, her appearance didn't even match half of Eve's. With thick legs and acne on her face, she was only brought along due to the connections of three families. The previous Xiar wouldn't even bother to glance at her.
………………
In Shining Gold Town, at the Mestlin Family estate.
The recovered Marcus spread out a map of the territory while discussing strategies with Baron Bougiano. His expression was grim as he said, "Lord, recently there have been refugees crossing into our territory from the north. There have even been incidents of burning and looting that have left the people in panic. I suggest we implement severe punishments."
"Don't be hasty. I've received news that there's been a famine in Antu County in the northwest. That foolish Lord has left his subjects with no means of survival, which has caused countless people to flee," Baron Bougiano sat there with mockery in his eyes.
"Now that the gold mine's output is decreasing year by year, we will lose this golden mountain in a few years if we don't find alternative solutions quickly. We must accept refugees to expand our population as much as possible. Simon, you will manage this; Marcus, capture a few who dare to disobey orders and execute them as an example."
"In my territory, there is no need for servants who dare to defy orders!"
"Yes, Lord!" Marcus's eyes were filled with a fierce glint as he already thought of several excellent methods to make those lowly people understand their place.
“Lord, Viscount Mark is urging us once again to deliver those furs as soon as possible. To be honest, those furs are our stock for half a year, and giving them away at less than half price has already caused many…” Steward Simon said softly, slightly bowing.
“Don’t mind them. If it weren’t for their intervention, Xiar wouldn’t have qualified for the assessment,” Baron said, his eyes filled with longing. “Our family has been stuck in this place for too long, so long that we’ve forgotten the glory of our ancestors. I just want Xiar to achieve something, not to grow old and die in this place!”
“The young master has been studying diligently. It seems he understands your good intentions and will surely have a brilliant future,” the Steward smiled.
“Let’s hope so,” the Baron sighed, choosing not to discuss the topic further and instead continuing to deliberate on how to manage the increasing number of Refugees.
…………
The carriage slowly traveled along the official road, with Xiar sitting inside, engrossed in reading a book on Noble Etiquette. His mind was immersed in various future possibilities, wanting to organize his thoughts and see what else he could gain.
While he was reading, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Firefly instantly woke from her dreams, raising her head and alertly scanning the surroundings.
A loud shout from outside pierced the air: “Who goes there!”
Swish!
With a sharp whistle, the knight’s shout abruptly ceased, followed by a heavy thud against the ground.
Other knights shouted angrily: “There’s an assassin! There’s an assassin!”
