Aaron didn't hesitate and sent his spirituality down towards a light spot.

His spirituality was limited, so he needed to quickly ascertain the basic situation of those who might enter here in the future and become his favored ones.

If their character was good, they could be brought above the dark gold mist and carefully nurtured. If their character was cruel, they would be marked for future elimination.

In the capital of the Feynapotter Empire, Feynapotter, in the South Suburb of Srenzo District, within a slightly old but garden-equipped high-rise villa.

A black-haired girl sat at a table, carefully studying the book before her. She had blood-red eyes and pale skin, clearly a Sanguine.

On the decorative shelf beside the desk, a string of light green diamond necklaces emitted faint glimmers of light. It was her coming-of-age gift from her mother.

Louise Sears closed the book on the table with a bit of distress and rubbed her long black hair. As a Sanguine with a long lifespan, having just come of age, she was still full of curiosity about everything.

Every time she gathered with her kin in private, listening to them talk about the customs and people in various parts of the Northern Continent, she yearned to see them. Finally, having reached adulthood, she expressed her desire to travel to her parents.

After gaining her parents' consent, she began studying the languages of various countries on the Northern and Southern Continents. At the same time, as one of her parents' requirements, she would travel to Backlund, the capital of the Loen Kingdom, to visit her maternal grandfather, Count Mistral.

She would travel in Backlund for a period under the care of her maternal grandfather, Count Mistral, to gain experience and learn lessons.

Withdrawing his spirituality, Aaron sat on the throne, contemplating slightly.

A Sanguine girl who just came of age, Sequence 7 already. Emlyn White is probably still obsessed with puppets right now.

Hmm... Sanguine, Church of the Earth Mother, Lilith.

Speaking of which, the Trunsoest family also has a deep connection with Sanguine. The Sanguine's Sequence 1 'God of Beauty', Blood Moon Queen Auernia, was the wife of the Night Emperor.

Perhaps the Evernight Goddess agreed to help the Night Emperor considering Lilith's attitude.

Ultimately, I also have a close relationship with Sanguine, and given the historical ties between the Trunsoest family and Sanguine...

As a continuation of the Trunsoest family, the East Chester family should have some Sanguine Beyonder characteristics that are difficult to sell. These could be used for trade and cultivation.

Time was limited, so Aaron directed his spirituality towards the next light spot.

Northwest of the Berserk Sea, Hakata Port, a dilapidated two-story building on North Street.

A blue-haired mixed-race young man with deep features, a rugged outline, calloused bronze skin from long-term physical labor, and some elven blood, opened the slightly drafty door and walked in.

Ferran Eddas returned home, dragging his weary body after a day's work at the docks. He placed a light blue dagger on the table; the dagger glowed faintly.

His father, who had passed away a few years ago, told him that this dagger contained extraordinary power, but until now, he hadn't figured out how to truly use it.

Hakata Port in the Berserk Sea is off the main shipping route and doesn't belong to any country; it's a free city for pirates. Famous pirates from the Five Seas and their fleets have all visited here. Whether it's to replenish crew, supplies, or fence stolen goods, Hakata Port can meet their needs.

Unlike the conservatism of the inland, in Hakata Port, a pirate haven, extraordinary power is not a secret but a symbol of power and status. In such a chaotic city without order, Ferran Eddas, as a mixed-race individual, found it even harder to survive.

Without support after his parents' death, he yearned for extraordinary power even more, yet he didn't want to become a pirate, struggling to make a living by loading and unloading goods at the docks every day.

Aaron on the throne contemplated slightly. Hakata Port in the Berserk Sea, elven bloodline. He should be suitable for the Sailor pathway.

He pinched his aching brow and sent his spirituality into the last light spot.

Southern Continent, West Balam, north of the Star Plateau, west of the Paz River Valley, within the Intis colony of Caesar Port.

In a building near the port that blended Balam and Intis architectural styles, a slightly thin young man was kneeling before a crystal-clear skull, praying for the protection of his ancestors.

In 1194, Roselle discovered a new sea route, reopening communication between the Northern and Southern Continents, enabling colonial rule. In the early days, before Roselle was assassinated, he practiced gentle colonization, cooperating with local native chiefs.

In 1198, Roselle was assassinated by a joint force of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the former Intis royal family, the Sauron family, and other nobles, falling at White Maple Palace. The new Intis Republic was dissatisfied with the speed of gentle colonization and began violent colonization.

This provoked resistance from local native families, and the Watson family, as native nobles of Caesar Port, was brutally suppressed.

Thanks to being in close proximity to the Loen colony across the Paz River Valley, the Watson family was not completely wiped out, but they were severely weakened and never recovered.

In West Balam, there were cities managed by Loen, valleys belonging to Intis, native generals supported by Loen, and tribes obeying Intis's commands.

More numerous were relatively independent states that leveraged the balance needed by the two great powers. They secretly contacted different factions of the Numinous Episcopate, vying for or claiming to be descendants of Death.

Additionally, the Rose School and the Feysac Empire also had a strong influence in West Balam. On the surface, no force belonged to them, but in reality, many generals and chiefs were subservient to them.

Sidd Watson, as the chief of the Watson family in this generation, bore the mission of revitalizing his family. Members of the Numinous Episcopate hidden in West Balam secretly contacted him, expressing their desire to recruit him into the Numinous Episcopate and giving him one day to consider.

Sidd Watson knew about the Numinous Episcopate; they were fanatics who believed in Death and sought to resurrect him. It was said to be a secret organization initially founded by some descendants of Death attempting to resurrect him.

They believed in concepts such as death not being the end... a world beyond the senses... everything can be reversed.

Honestly, Sidd didn't want to join such a dangerous and seemingly evil organization. However, as the chief of a native family that had once resisted colonial rule, he was heavily ostracized in the Intis colonial area.

Not wanting to become a pirate or join a church, joining such a secret organization might be his only chance to become a Beyonder.

After paying respects to his ancestors, Sidd tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, unsure of what choice he should make.

Aaron withdrew his spirituality, finding the observed information quite interesting.

Southern Continent, West Balam, Caesar Port, Intis colony. And it's connected to the Numinous Episcopate. Could I potentially plant an informant within the Numinous Episcopate?

Speaking of the Paz River Valley, it seems the East Chester family's colony in the Southern Continent is located there. It appears confrontation with the Numinous Episcopate and the Rose School will be unavoidable in the future.
