Chapter 1404: Chapter 916: A New Path

Kana’s lips curved slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

His gaze swept over those seated around the conference table, finally settling on Abis, suddenly asking, "Abis, how much Stone of Creation does the Night Watcher currently hold?"

Deep red and murky light filtered through the thick fort observation window, casting oppressive shadows indoors, and the air seemed to still hold a lingering scent of sulfur and blood.

Upon hearing this question, Raelia, Abis, Grey Fang, and others exchanged a tacit glance, evidently already vaguely guessing Kana’s intent.

Of course, except for the Sky Dragon sitting in the corner, whose countenance was cold and seemingly at odds with the surroundings—she merely lifted her eyes slightly, then regained her indifferent appearance.

Those present, such as the sisters Raelia and Abis, and Grey Fang, were among the founding elder members of the Night Watcher.

They have followed Kana for many years, watching this organization rise from obscurity to the present step by step.

And throughout this grand development history, the mysterious and powerful Stone of Creation has always played a crucial role, which they understand well.

Now that Kana mentioned it, clearly their prophetic leader was about to use this precious item to give the Night Watcher some invigorating news.

"Ha!"

Raelia suddenly straightened her body, with her lightly armored four hooves lightly stepping on the carpet in excitement.

The brown ponytail swayed as well, her face instantly blossomed with a youthful radiance, and she was impatient to speak.

"Are you starting again? After all these years, finally some new ideas! I thought you stopped doing the ’usual’ once you became a god."

For her, and the elders like Abis and Grey Fang, every time they witness Kana using the Stone of Creation to implement ideas that no one else could imagine, creating things that altered the landscape, is the moment they most eagerly anticipate and relish.

Abis gently placed the report on material loss she was reviewing aside, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

She recalled briefly and answered, "I don’t have specific real-time data on my side, but during a strategic meeting a few months ago in Ring Tower City, I heard Bobo mention some related data summations."

She paused, organizing her language, and her fingertips unconsciously tapped on the table: "Bobo analyzed that with the Night Watcher’s growing stature, it’s begun to dominate and lead the direction of the continent’s affairs.

"Plus, after successfully expelling the entrenched Evil God’s Influence, the pressure on the world’s essence should indeed be much reduced."

Her brow furrowed slightly, continuing with a hint of caution: "Though we cannot directly converse with the world’s will, through the Child of the World, we can still indirectly learn some things.

"According to feedback, during the darkest period of the Evil God’s invasion, the world, to protect itself and retaliate, consumed a vast amount of energy on the cycle of the Stone of Creation, which nearly exhausted the essence.

"So, after the Evil God was repelled and the world temporarily stabilized, the energy originally used to forcefully foster the cycle of the Stone of Creation was significantly reduced and redirected to consolidate the world’s defensive barrier and foundational rules."

Abis lifted her head, gazing confidently at Kana, with a hint of confirmation in her eyes: "Therefore, Bobo’s conclusion is that in recent years, the natural cycle speed of the Stone of Creation has substantially slowed down.

"However, fortunately, due to the Night Watcher’s current scale and control, most of the newly generated, and found, Creation Stone Fragments on the continent are systematically collected and stored by us."

She finished speaking and tilted her head slightly, with a hint of inquiry, looking at Kana.

"However," Abis’s tone took on a bit of grave reminder, "Bobo particularly emphasized at the meeting that she insists these collected Stones of Creation must be strictly stored as strategic reserves and not be used lightly.

"Because the scope of influence of the Divine Kingdom Plan is too vast, and its foundational structure’s stability and carrying capacity must use the Stone of Creation, which contains the world’s essence and rules, as the most core pedestal and node. This—"

She stared into Kana’s eyes, "—should also be one of the core principles you initially formulated with him, right?"

Her implication was clear: these stones are the foundation of the Divine Kingdom Plan, and not easy to collect; using them now may not only slow the overall progress of the Divine Kingdom Plan but also bring unpredictable variables and risks.

Kana listened carefully, nodded slowly, and responded steadily: "Correct, Abis, this is a fact and was our previous consensus. The Divine Kingdom Plan is fundamental, Stone of Creation is the keystone."

He shifted his tone, with new light flashing in his deep eyes, "However, having visited Titan World and witnessed the structure and depth of the Star Realm’s top Order Forces, expanding the horizon and reference, I’ve indeed gained some new ideas and assessments on the priority and possibility of certain matters.

"Therefore, regarding the use of Stone of Creation, we can reassess, rest assured."

Upon hearing Kana’s firm "rest assured," Abis’s tense expression visibly relaxed, and a reassuring smile reappeared on her lips.
