(8000, 2nd update)_3 Adalbert said, “To tell the truth, the reason why the laboratory wanted to capture the King of the Mountain’s child was to study the unique aspects of the Dragon Soul… even the research on Deceased Monarchs is deeply related to dragons.”

“But in the end, we didn’t figure out anything.

We could only rely on the special nature of the Dragon Soul to extract some relevant data from the Domain of Void.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Now, Ian fully understood the thinking behind the ‘Monarch Legacy.’

In plain terms, the wise men of Terra Continent had all pondered a question that Second Prince Michael had asked Ian not long before:

—If Sublimators can do everything, what do we need ordinary people for?

—If we must protect ordinary people, how should we protect them?

The Deceased Monarch is the ultimate answer to this question.

—If one thinks that ordinary people are useless, then the essence of all power of the Deceased Monarch comes from the convergence of a multitude of souls.

Whether evil, heartless, cunning, or arrogant, one must reach a consensus with the Lost Souls to gain power.

—If in this world filled with natural disasters one cannot protect the lives of ordinary people, then just kill all ordinary people and only protect their souls!

Moreover, unlike inheritances of the Fourth and Fifth Power Levels that require large amounts of resources,

The Monarch Legacy only needs people.

All it needs is for every person to have a soul!

And the related technical challenge has already been overcome by Adalbert and a portion of the previous era’s technology!

Thus, the resource-independent Monarch Legacy is instead the heritage most deeply connected with ordinary people, completely opposite to the majority of Sublimators.

Additionally, because it doesn’t need various resources, the entire Monarch System will also be the most stable inheritance.

Because Ian had already seen the final form of this legacy.

—Death will not be an end, but the beginning of ‘revenge.’

Those who die of natural causes long for ‘stability and prosperity for their descendants.’ Whether it’s enemy nations or natural disasters, they are the targets for their ‘revenge consensus.’

Those who die accidentally, as long as the Monarch himself is not the perpetrator, the Monarch will judge for them, slay their enemies, and harness their power for their use.

In this way, as an emperor, the Monarch, if he still wants to maintain his power and continue his rule and authority, will become the fulfiller of the people’s wishes—and these wishes will have no impractical or bizarre demands, only the most stable ‘safety’ and ‘vengeance.’

He must protect the living’s homes, and he must avenge the deceased’s enemies.

If necessary, he will also personally kill all citizens and then gather all power to avoid natural disasters, avoid powerful enemies, and ensure ‘existence and continuation.’

In front of this type of inheritance, the entire social order on Terra will shift greatly, and kingdoms without a Monarch will become the backwards ones, just as one side might have a full set of underground facilities for countering nuclear war, while the other does not.

The moment conflict arises, the Monarch side could even leave the planet and wander in other regions, seeking a potentially suitable home, or simply transform into a Spirit Energy Ark Spaceship, much like those Sparks that arrived on Terra.

As for the other side…

The other side can only wait for death.

After all, the Sublimators’ lifespan issue has not been overcome, but the Monarch still has a chance to find a place to rebuild the ecosystem and recreate civilization, or at least entrust their own soul to the next Monarch.

Other Fifth Level powers might also be able to rebuild an ecosystem, but where do they get human souls?

Without a world to experience those Magic Potion ingredients and mental training, where will they get space to grow?

“If this is what Inega II wanted to achieve but didn’t have the time to develop… it certainly fits his style.”

“Instead of struggling within the system with this bunch on Terra, it’s better to bring about a revolutionary inheritance technology that completely smashes the old world—even if it leads to a ground littered with corpses and blood… a new world will also be born.”

However, whether the new world that is born will be a beautiful one or a worse one full of corpses and Tyrants… that’s uncertain.

After all, everyone knows that ordinary people and the masses are blind followers and easily swayed… Apart from seriously responding to the wishes of the Deceased, the Monarch can naturally use various means to twist those wishes.

Besides that, there’s something in Ian’s mind that doesn’t quite sit right.

Even if Inega II was a true madman, and his disciple, the madman Duke of Solin, heightened his madness,

Just to change the world, one doesn’t necessarily need the Monarch’s extreme methods.

At this point, Ian had fully understood why the Duke of Solin had collaborated with the Spirit Wisdom Institute and Fiery Flame Land for research.

Without the technology of Fiery Flame Land, there would be no Attached Brains with Artificial Souls.

Without the abundance of books related to the Domain of Void and Spirit Energy brought by the Spirit Wisdom Institute, Adalbert’s soul research wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

Adding on Duke of Solin’s own set of Spirit Energy inheritance, the birth of the Monarch was a matter of course.

But he still felt that it wasn’t quite enough,

It seemed… there was something more hidden.

—If Duke of Solin simply wanted the power of the Fifth Power Level for himself, he would only need to specialize in his own legacy.

His legacy could already reach the Fifth Level, though it was tough, but by achieving Fifth Level first and then working on becoming the Monarch, the chances of success would significantly increase.
