Lysander felt groggy and heavy in the head. It was as if his head was placed under a giant boulder.
A rough feeling permeated on his lips and face along with the crushing feeling.
As he slowly woke up, he found his vision to be slanted.
Slowly, when he was fully awake, he found his face planted on the ground.
'Huh!?'
Lysander was startled. He channeled his spiritual power to put power in his arms and body to stand up, but failed to budge even an inch.
"Oh? Someone seems to have woken up."
A sharp voice entered his ears and a crushing pressure caused a crack in his jaw, making Lysander let out a piercing howl.
The guard aggressively rubbed his ears and clicked his tongue. "Shut the fuck up."
He stomped on Lysander's mouth and sealed it shut.
At the same time, holding a talisman in his hand, he tried to contact the higher ups of the clan, asking them about the steps he should take next.
As the man injected a bit of his spiritual power in it, what he expected would happen did not happen.
The talisman did not light up. There was not a single response from it.
Confused, he injected some more spiritual power, yet felt nothing.
"Huh?"
More. He injected some more yet the result was the same once again.
Before he could do it again, a soothing voice rang in his ears, saying:
"Don't bother."
"Huh?"
The confused man turned around and saw a beautiful woman in an all black outfit. Before his eyes got a chance to feast, the world around him spun.
He then felt as if he had jumped, found his vision to be gazing from a height, getting a bird's eye view of everything, then with a loud thud, saw Lysander's face mashed on the ground.
'Hu...h...?'
His vision slowly went dark, until he eventually had all his thoughts stopped and permanently went to sleep.
Clapping the dust off her hands, Qingshan walked towards the headless body of the EGC guard. She touched the chest area of it and it erupted into flames, burning completely until even ashes weren't left.
The guard was killed. True death. His soul would never reincarnate again or get assimilated with heaven's will.
Lith looked at the screens and said.
Everything would begin with Lysander waking up. He was the key to capturing the Midnight Bay.
Lith could only hope that Qingshan had not knocked him too badly. Hopefully he wakes up in a day or two and does what he had been tasked to.
Sipping on the herbal milk tea, Lith chatted with Qingshan and Wang Wei, and waited for the man to wake up.
.....
Two days later.
The Evure God Clan got a package sent to them. It had the head of the guard from Midnight Bay and a video message from Lysander.
Lysander mocked the Evure God Clan officials in his message and openly stated that he was taking over the Midnight Bay. This infuriated everyone present, and they sent a strong response to the Asuras by capturing one of their important territories and raised a bounty against the second young master.
The Asuras were furious to find the Evures pulling off such stunts. However, before they could retaliate, they got a package delivered to them.
It contained Lysander's head in it along with a note that mocked them. The note also threatened their integrity and stated that they should be prepared for what was about to come.
Thus, a small spark ignited the flames of war in Shen Ze with two of the major powers going against each other.
Midnight Bay was temporarily forgotten, and due to this miscalculation, a small clan from the central alliance took over the world and made their base there.
Neither the Evure God Clan nor the Asura God Clan could do anything about it as the clan was from the central alliance.
The two powerhouses did not need allies, but they also did not want enemies at this stage when going against each other. They took a loss of the Midnight Bay and continued on with their warfare.
Lith successfully acquired the Midnight Bay and began making changes to this world.
This world was like Earth's Suez Canal. It was of great economic importance and had connections from a lot of places. The Evures and the Asuras had failed to see its majesty due to how big they were.
Lith pushed the new clan that arrived here to work hard and open gates to every single place in Shen Ze so that trade could be done easily.
This world had the potential to become a free trade zone and also a neutral place in the times of war, just like how the Neutral Continent in his own world was.
The coming few months were quite busy and hectic due to the many changes being done in the Midnight Bay. While this was happening, Lith did not slack and kept a close watch on the situation between the Evure God Clan and the Asura God Clan.
The feeling he had a while ago that caused him to faint... he did not want to remember it, but it left a deep mark on him.
There was a sense of urgency and Lith quickly wanted to go to the place where the lamp was.
Without thinking of anything else, Lith worked hard. As hard as he could and made plans to infiltrate the Evure God Clan to see the lamp with the faint golden light.
