After finishing his workday, Lawrence returns to his residence, but instead of traveling to the Inferior Plane, he heads to his personal dinsion.
His personal dinsion has undergone so changes. The most noticeable would be the lake, which was created by himself using his authority, only that nowadays it is a proper lake. The subsequent changes would go unnoticed unless one knew the original state of this place, because unlike before, now there are beautiful flowers and a variety of insects that land on them before flying away.
The one who brought about these changes is still at work.
"Sky Petal, we need to talk. Go to the mansion as soon as you're free."
"Ah, Lawrence… Yes, I'll be there in a while."
She greets him with her hand and then returns to controlling dozens of vines, which remove the earth and plant seeds and plants from the outside.
After this brief exchange, Lawrence creates a Dinsional Rift and this ti heads to the Inferior Plane. According to his won, each ti he travels between planes the personal dinsion does not undergo any change, only the stationary doors are the exception.
Lawrence calls Serene Will and Coldness Divine to the throne room. Although he thought about excluding Absolute Prominence, he ended up summoning her anyway.
Once Sky Petal arrives, he shares the predictions of Prescribed Dream.
"Will you lose your mory?"
This causes commotion, they all worry about the future that awaits him.
"If those were her words, it ans that your regressions won't be able to help or…"
Coldness Divine continues his words, "Or that is the best outco."
Lawrence nods. Leaving aside the possibility that this is a false prediction, if an event were to happen where the gains far exceed the losses, he might consider it depending on which mories exactly he would forget. But if not, losing his mory in exchange for eliminating a formidable enemy is a good trade.
It's that or he will witness sothing he shouldn't have seen.
The one who breaks the silence is none other than Absolute Prominence.
"Regarding her prediction…"
She hides her proud smile with her hand, her deanor appearing to be that of a noble lady. "By she is referring to the Unquenchable Fire Brothel, right? That's the only for which we all are willing to burn."
No one objects to it, Lawrence just looks down at the ground, thinking about how much they will lose that day. If these won are still standing in front of him, their love for him is not necessarily the main reason, it is because he promised them that one day they would completely erase their past, that they have given him everything they possess.
This silence lasts much longer than the previous one. This ti it's Coldness Divine who speaks. Because she cannot read his mind, she needs to get answers from her husband's mouth.
"Lawrence, I need to know what you will do, what you plan to do from now on. That's the only way to understand that prediction before it's too late."
Coldness Divine can rarely be so sincere, and Lawrence fears that if he doesn’t respond at this mont, this dragon girl might do sothing foolish.
"Alright. Although they're just thoughts, I'll tell you if you're so curious."
Planning is sothing only those in a good position can do, a position he does not have, so he has no choice but to act according to the situation, but this does not an he hasn't created a landscape in his mind.
"The personal dinsion showed that we still know nothing about what the evil sect Abyss Soul did to , all our concern turned out to be in vain when it was all due to the improvent of the Boundless Fruit… Which made wonder, what exactly is the purpose of the evil sects? And what are they doing to succeed?"
Despite being a mber of it, the information he had access to was limited.
"If the opportunity arises, I want to investigate the evil sects."
Serene Will snorts, "That's a goal too ambitious. Knowing too much will make us enemies of humanity and the Greater Demons."
He does not deny it, he nods in agreent. "It's just a thought, now let continue."
Lawrence gathers his thoughts and then snaps his fingers, "Right, if possible I want to establish a connection with the major rchants of the auction house. I'll use the second na of Sky Petal and let them know that Bearer of Light is not just a fertility pill refiner, that there are no pill recipes he cannot refine. Through this I will approach them."
Soon a new auction will be conducted at the Violet Twilight auction house, it will be at that mont that he plans to approach the item owners with the promise of accepting so special orders for his refiner.
"Yet, being friends with them is just a ans to my true purpose."
It is then that he raises the topic that they were all waiting for.
"To destroy the Unquenchable Fire Brothel."
In her regressions, Coldness Divine showed that that subspace is not just a place where only prostitutes of level 300 reside, there are rankers who far surpass that level. Noble Indolence is one of them, the companions of Dark Root are other examples.
Coldness Divine faced the Unquenchable Fire Brothel with a level 500 compressed and manipulating the laws of the world, but even then was easily subdued and had it not been for Lawrence, she would not have been able to commit suicide.
"That place has existed for a long ti, it's naive to think it doesn't have relations with the Heavenly Path Kingdom and so of its sects. Not only that, do you rember? That foreign sect from the Immortal Radiance Kingdom?"
"How could we forget?" Coldness Divine closes her eyes in disgust, the image of that day vividly appearing in her head. "Had it not been for the Supre Ranker Imperishable Night, I would have had to regress."
Compared to her disgust, Lawrence speaks without any emotion.
"We must act thinking that the Unquenchable Fire Brothel has relations with both kingdoms. If we want to succeed we must be prepared for the worst. That's why I must keep working there, only with internal help can we increase our chances of success and overco access restrictions. And that help, can only co from no one else but ."
When he manages to have Prescribed Dream on his side, he will be happy if those people allow him to continue working as a dao protector. There will be no one more trustworthy than him to obtain internal information, even if it ans losing the privileges he has taken for granted until now.
"The prerequisites for this are that you reach level 700 and that…" He looks at Serene Will and smiles. "You steal all the contacts from that, you can keep hiring his services until you're sure you know them all."
Only with information will they be able to find the weakness of the strong and make their way through adversity. If they rely solely on their sword, it's laughable that they still have hopes for the future.
"I've already stolen so of his contacts, although it's still too early to establish communication with them. I will earn the ire of an informant like Sacrilegious Pagan, so before doing anything against him, I'll earn his trust."
"You're doing well, making an enemy of an information seller can be a thorn in the side."
Lawrence tries to think of sothing else to talk about when he sees Absolute Prominence raise her hand. It is interesting to see how this tiger girl is slowly starting to stop seeing him as soone to whom she swore her loyalty, but instead as a man.
"What will you do after the destruction of the Unquenchable Fire Brothel?"
"Wait."
The faces of his won change at his answer and he sighs, "10 years, no… We'll have to wait 20 years before we can go outside. Anyone will be willing to provide information about us in order to obtain favor from one of those kingdoms, I don't want to beco soone else's stepping stone."
"Wait? Is that your answer?!"
Although it is Coldness Divine who expresses her fury, the rest do not have a very different opinion. Except for Sky Petal, all of them are extrely proud won. They are willing to follow a plan, but not if it ans poisoning the target without giving him a chance to fight.
For them waiting is no different from hiding like a worm in order to survive.
He snorts and stands up from his seat. "20 years is nothing! Do you think those behind this will forget us? I'm only doing this to avoid unnecessary problems, to walk quietly through the streets without attracting unnecessary attention!"
The destruction of the Unquenchable Fire Brothel may not be the end. The subsequent effects can sweep everything in their path if they are careless and this is sothing Lawrence plans to avoid. That inside that subspace there is a brothel, does not an that the brothel owns the subspace.
Is there sothing hidden behind all this? Such thoughts force him to act with caution.
"My only damn plan is to destroy everything without leaving a trace and wait for our enemies to reveal themselves. If I have to wait 20 years, it will be 20 damn years!"
Then he begins to laugh like a madman, "And that will only happen if we survive! One damn day won't be enough to succeed. At so point, Coldness Divine will have to decide whether to regress or risk continuing. If she continues and, in the end, higher-level rankers arrive as reinforcents, the fire will consu everything! Absolutely everything!"
When he ntions the final phrase of the prediction of Prescribed Dream, everyone remains silent.
They are arguing about waiting 20 years when they don't even know if they will be successful, they forgot that this talk is about the future and not a planning of it.
Even so, Lawrence wants to achieve sothing from all this.
"Promise that if we succeed, you will wait 20 years with ."
He knows that when the ti cos these won will not agree, they will do everything possible to pounce on the enemy if this ans getting answers or at least so strength. Because if they get sothing from the destruction of that place, it will not be happiness.
Again they remain silent, only one of them could have answered at the beginning if she wanted to. He, who knows her identity, after waiting a while looks at that woman.
"I promise."
Sky Petal is the first to promise and as soon as this happens, Serene Will wrinkles her nose. There may not have been a prior agreent, but she is able to read their minds, she knew what her husband wanted to convey with that previous look.
"Hah…"
Absolute Prominence is the next to do so. Her sigh is due to the fact that she does not know if she will participate in that battle.
"As long as we succeed, you can do what you want."
Coldness Divine is the next and after her is Serene Will, who just nodded her head.
"Good, don't forget your word when the ti cos."
Lawrence walks towards the exit and just before leaving, reveals the last of his thoughts.
"I would also like to gather the talents from the Inferior Plane to turn them into cannon fodder when we face that brothel. Whether they will have the level necessary to be useful, only ti will tell."
"Are you planning to create a sect?!"
Serene Will is surprised, this is sothing she hears for the first ti. But her words echo without getting an answer, Lawrence has left the place.
