Chapter 928 264: The New Magic Monarch Kael? The Further Spreading Influence (10K) (Part 3)

For example... the devoted believers.

However, such rules are clearly only fully comprehensible to those who have already stepped into or even mastered a Domain.

Because this latent trait essentially embodies a further understanding and development of a Domain.

But compared to the higher-level teachings the Bartleta Monarch imparted to Kael on "mastering" a Domain, this straightforward use of a Domain is merely a basic technique that, once told, you instantly know how to use.

Yet, as the saying goes, there's a significant gap between those with a legacy and those without one.

If one relies solely on their own exploration of a Domain, wanting to discover this trait of the Domain, it could truly take a considerable amount of time.

However, if you receive guidance and legacy from predecessors, it can be just a matter of a word.

This is roughly the most straightforward manifestation of the saying "the true legacy in one word," where what requires monumental time and effort for you to comprehend might be "outdated knowledge" long summarized by others.

However, upon further reflection, he suddenly felt this was quite normal.

After all, he understood that Lucius lad well, being a cunning old fox too, like master, like apprentice.

Kael, somewhat surprised, lightly chuckled and said, "Does this matter relate to a country that has already perished?"

"It somewhat relates, you could say. They were, in fact, one of the supporters of the goblin empire back then, and later, due to various reasons, they acquired a part of the goblin empire's technology, and then..."

"Don't tell me it's about the Abyss invasion..."

"To some extent, it also had something to do with the technology they mastered. In the end, they utterly destroyed themselves; in this respect, one can't really blame the holy Briania for not supporting them.

Some technologies simply aren't meant for small nations; meddling with them might well become the fuse for destruction.

Clearly, the Shadow Country back then didn't have the power, and ultimately, the entire nation nearly got obliterated..."

When the Bartlet Monarch spoke of these matters, there was a moment of ruefulness.

Some things indeed require a certain foundation; once accomplished, they may instead brew more severe consequences. This was also why, in the very beginning, when he had a relatively high chance of safely returning to the Bell Federation, he hesitated.

Because nobody could guarantee that when Bartlet returned to the then feeble Bell Federation, whether he'd ignite a self-destructive blaze in the already fragile Federation situation back then.

Later, Bartlet maintained communication and connection with the Bell Federation's internal affairs for a long time. In those years near his return, the primary person he communicated with was Lucius, now Kael's teacher.

But by the time of his return fifty years before now, for the holy Briania, he was already at a military weapon level of existence.

Nobody in the entire holy Briania wanted him to return to the now-existing Bell Federation, and even Bartlet himself knew that, under normal circumstances, he probably couldn't leave the Holy Mountain with his brain and soul intact.

Since encountering a transformative Magic Monarch or necromancer Monarch, extracting Bartlet's related memories and technologies from his brain and soul was still within the realm of possibility.

It truly was a juncture where time, place, people, and harmony had aligned in his favor, allowing him to return.

Thinking about this, the Bartlet Monarch jokingly said, "If someone completes the last link of the Heavenly Ladder Plan, how likely do you think it is to see the final achievement of the Heavenly Ladder Plan appear in this era?"

Kael pondered for a moment and gave a rather precise answer, "Over eighty percent... ultimately, the reason the final product hasn't appeared is because the foundational theory had problems from the start, right?"

Actually, Kael wanted to provide a one-hundred-percent answer.

After all, part of the technology related to the Heavenly Ladder Plan is mastered here in Wandong City, and with his assistance and theoretical support, there's no reason it couldn't fill in the last part of the Heavenly Ladder Plan.

Ultimately...

The Heavenly Ladder Plan itself is a basically complete plan, and the fact it didn't smoothly come into being was truly just a matter of timing and fate.

If the goblin empire had a little more time, perhaps researching for another forty or fifty years, it might really have been possible to change development paths and make up for the original theoretical shortcomings of the Heavenly Ladder Plan.

Bartlet nodded and said, "What a pity, the Heavenly Ladder Plan was probably the closest theoretical research framework to a 'divine path' in the past few hundred years.

Ironically, the Heavenly Ladder Plan never broke through its limitations, ultimately just a pathetic and lamentable echo."

"Someone has to do it, right? At least, the initial intention of the Heavenly Ladder Plan was good."

"It's a pity it's too late now; there's no chance. No one knows what the most critical step in the Heavenly Ladder Plan is anymore... anyway, let's not dwell on these old matters.

Speaking of which..."

Looking at Kael, who had once received part of his legacy, the Bartlet Monarch rubbed his brow and said:

"I've read through the content of your War Mage theory. Honestly, for someone who hasn't delved into the Domain you're researching, fully grasping what you're trying to convey to everyone is somewhat challenging.
