Chapter 147 Swear Loyalty To Me, I Can Grant You Great Power!
Even after Alister's introduction, the old man didn't know anything about how powerful a Transcendent Saint was since he didn't know that a powerhouse above the Transcendent Emperor had existed.
Or more like, only the higher-level transcendents knew about the existence of the Transcendent Saints. Those ordinary humans and low-level transcendents didn't know that there was a much more powerful existence above the Transcendent Emperor.
Due to that, the old man thought that Alister was a powerful Transcendent Emperor who earned the title of Sword Saint due to his extreme swordsmanship. After living so long, the old man had encountered countless transcendents who used a sword whether it was in real life or in the news but only a few of them could use the sword intent.
The old man already estimated that Alister was a Transcendent Emperor and for that, he was glad that such a powerful existence like Alister even bothered about the lives of ordinary humans like him.
Although it was the duty of transcendents to protect ordinary humans, the old man was more than old enough to know that it was nothing but a mere facade put up by the Transcendent Association.
Most of the higher-level transcendents didn't care about the lives of ordinary humans and treated themselves as an existence above ordinary humans. They only fought against monsters from the otherworld in order to enhance their power and combat experience rather than having a noble goal of saving and protecting the human race.
Especially existences above the 9th-level, the old man knew that finding someone amongst them who truly cared and protected the human race was as difficult as finding a diamond in the streets.
The old man didn't blame them since he knew that he had no right to judge others when he hadn't experienced what they had gone through.
He was truly glad that he had encountered Alister who not only cared about his old life but also even put effort into saving that young child who he had even thought had died. If not for Alister, the young boy would have died since even he didn't know that the boy was still alive.
And even if he did know that, just several minutes were enough to cause the death of that young boy due to his severe injuries. Only a transcendent with healing powers could save that boy and the old man was grateful that not only was Alister powerful, but he also possessed healing skills.
Otherwise, not only the young boy, but even he would have died since he had suffered from heavy injuries and if it was left untreated, he would die from blood loss.
"Thank you, Sir Wright! Even if I can't repay this favor in this old life of mine, I promise that I will repay you in my next life! Even if you don't care about the need for me to repay it, I still won't forget it!"
With both his purple-grade Eye of Good And Evil as well as his absolute mind superpower, Alister could notice that the old man was sincere and the old man wasn't lying.
"Well, it's not that you can't repay the favor now. If you want, as long as you swear your loyalty to me, I can grant you great power."
With the intention of giving a top-grade star artifact from his system inventory, Alister asked the old man whether he was willing to swear loyalty to him or not.
He had at least ten thousand top-grade star artifacts from his system inventory.
Alister knew that it was too much to give a god-grade star artifact to someone he barely knew but for a top-grade star artifact that he had in abundance, he didn't mind giving it to someone as a form of investment.
After all, what he lacked the most in this world was his internal forces since most of the forces he had were in another world.
It was much more convenient for him if he had forces that were in the Transcendent World since those people already had an identity in this world.
Since he had planned to dominate this world, amassing a bunch of loyal subordinates who would heed his every command was a must.
After all, it would be too tiring if he were to handle all of the problems during his plan for world domination when they could be solved by those below him.
'It's best if I can just become the hidden boss behind the scenes and only show up when my subordinates can't defeat a powerful enemy. Anyways, my absolute mind superpower can come in handy if I ever wanted to create loyal subordinates from the Transcendent Association and plant some spies there.'
Although Alister disdained using the mind control ability of his absolute mind superpower, disdain was only disdain and he wasn't foolish enough to not use something that could allow him some sort of convenience.
He only planned to control the minds of the higher-ups in the Transcendent Association.
Even if the old man declined his offer, Alister didn't plan to force him or use mind control against him since he wasn't that unreasonable.
After all, with his current power level, Alister could easily bestow the power of a Level 99 Revered Constellation to anyone regardless of their talent and aptitude.
Although he couldn't do that in quick succession since he didn't have unlimited amounts of astral energy, he could at least create one Level 99 Revered Constellation in every night.
As for the lack of combat experience and skills, Alister could just use his absolute mind superpower to transfer the combat experience he had stolen from the Level 99 Revered Constellation powerhouse that he had killed before.
On the other hand, the combat skills would be from his red-grade Founder Of Martial Arts talent since he could give anyone a top-grade martial art but still below the martial arts techniques that he and Lynn used.
Again, Alister wasn't dumb enough to grant someone a power and skill that was at his level. Only those loved ones of his as well as his absolutely loyal subordinates could get those.
After waiting for half a minute, the old man finally replied.
