289 World Authority
“Now I need to look for another clan head for the Zhan Clan. That bastard killed anyone who could be an obstacle for him, so it will be difficult finding someone decent.”
Although Liye didn’t care too much about the Zhan Clan, he didn’t plan to let it turn in an anarchy because they were still his descendants and he planned to use them to clean the Revgen Empire from the True Empire.
After all, Liye could beat the great powers, but there were a lot of small ones across the Empire and Liye’s time was limited, so it was better to delegate the small fries to the noble clans.
After some minutes looking all the possible candidates, Liye teleported towards the place where an old woman was resting.
That old woman was at the 5-star Sage Rank and mainly worked on healing. Moreover, since she didn’t have any interest in power and was loved by almost all the clan to the point that almost everyone called her grandma, the previous clan head didn’t try to harm her.
“I pay my respects to the ancestor.”
The old woman kneeled when she saw Liye. Liye didn’t try to hide, so for someone at the Sage Rank, it wasn’t difficult to know what had happened.
“From now on, you are the new clan head of the Zhan Clan.”
The old woman didn’t seem surprised by Liye’s words.
“Ancestor, I am not someone who could lead others, and I don’t have any interest in power.”
She had never involved herself with any of the political affairs of the clan, and she even maintained a neutral position by not joining any faction. She healed anyone who asked her for a healing and avoided making enemies even with the dire situation inside the clan.
However, she wasn’t like Ange, who avoided any form of harming others, that old woman hated the people of the True Empire and the previous clan head, but she knew that trying to oppose openly to them would just provoke an internal war.
Thus, she worked on the shadows to save the lives of those who fell in the plots of the True Empire or the clan head. Given that everyone knew about her personality of healing anyone who asked her, no one thought that she was deliberately interfering of their plans.
When Liye killed the members of the True Empire, that old woman didn’t feel any pity for them, and the same went for the clan head’s death.
“I know that. You don’t have any interest in power, but you did your utmost to save the lives of the members of the Zhan Clan without being discovered by those traitors or that shameless clan head. The Zhan Clan doesn’t need a leader hungry of power, needs someone who cares about all the members and wants the best for them.”
The Zhan Clan had been heavily damaged, and even though the traitors died, there were stills several factions that had conflicts with the others. Thus, someone like that old woman who didn’t belong to any faction and didn’t want conflicts int eh clan was the best person to take care of the Zhan Clan.
“I am not capable, but I will follow ancestor’s orders.”
The old woman didn’t try to continue rejecting after seeing that Liye understood very well her personality.
“Ancestor, may I ask a question?”
Liye nodded.
“Your body looks like the body of the youngster who has a bounty on his head issued by a faction of our clan. May I know if you two have some relationship?”
The previous clan head never bothered about who asked for a bounty, but that old woman was different and wasn’t happy when she saw that members of the Zhan Clan wanted to kill another member of the Zhan Clan by issuing a bounty.
“We are the same person. That is my identity after reincarnation, to think that those fools would ask to kill their own reincarnated ancestor, they deserved their deaths.”
The old woman had already guessed something like that, but after confirming it, she kept in mind helping that faction that supported Yale’s mother as that faction had turned extremely week in the past years till the point that had almost disappeared.
“If you have nothing else to say, I still have some matters to do.”
Liye waved his hand, and the old woman’s bloodline reached the perfect grade. Then, Liye disappeared from the Zhan Clan.
When he improved the old woman’s bloodline, he also improved the bloodlines of other members of the Zhan Clan that had a good moral character. However, no one else obtained a perfect bloodline.
Liye didn’t head towards the Tofesh Clan nor the Hyeran clan; instead, he appeared just in front of Revgen giving him a scare.
“Don’t appear so suddenly; you scared me. Wait, your power… I can’t see through your level; have you recovered your powers?”
Revgen’s eyes shined with expectation because he knew very well the prowess of the man in front of him.
“Temporally, I should have about forty hours until the power is exhausted, but if I use my strength, the time will decrease quickly.”
Origin Link was a forbidden skill for recovering the power of the previous life, so its length was much higher than the side effect of the Death Bloodline.
“Tell me about the current situation.”
Revgen knew that hoping for Liye to recover all his power in such a short time was impossible and that it made more sense that he had just temporally recovered it, but even knowing it, he couldn’t avoid hoping for that to become true.
After that, Liye told Revgen about everything that had happened, including the topic about his memories and the Mysterious Expert.
“So, that is how it is. Don’t blame me for not deducing it from beforehand; you are way too unpredictable as always. You should have sent me a message when you awakened the last time.”
At that moment, Liye finally understood about the Condensed Essences that Yale had received, the reason for the lack of memories and why the Mysterious Expert was working of the shadows.
“The time of the side effect of the Death Bloodline was too short, and I was hoping that my oldest friend would understand me better.”
Liye had never told about the Origin Link to Revgen before, but he thought that would be obvious that he would have that type of trump card for a dangerous situation when he was weak after reincarnation.
Revgen indeed thought that Liye had some trump cards, but he never thought of such a powerful trump card.
“Let’s stop the chit-chat. I will check all the traitors on this continent, and then, you will order the Imperial Family and the Noble Clans to kill all of them.”
A powerful aura surrounded Liye, and the world laws of all the continent reacted at that moment. Liye had obtained temporally the control of the world laws thanks to the use of his second level world authority.
The person who creates a world have by default a first level world authority and could do anything in the world without any effort. Unless the world creator denied it, any children or direct disciples would also obtain some world authority, but the children would only obtain a second level world authority that required more effort to use, and its power was limited.
As for the direct disciples, they would obtain a third level world authority that barely let them feel the emotional state of the people in the word and even in that case required a lot of effort to use.
Revgen had a third level world authority, but he barely used it as it wasn’t too useful. In fact, Ange as Liye’s child also had a third level world authority which she used in her past life to act as the sacred maiden and help the people who were suffering.
Five minutes later, Liye opened his eyes, and the World Laws stopped working after Yale made them create some scrolls with the locations and names of those who belonged to the True Empire.
“Take those six scrolls, one for the Imperial Family, one for each of the four noble clans and another one for you to check the progress. The names of the killed ones would cross automatically, and when some traitor is within a radius of one kilometer, the name will shine. Sadly, a second level world authority is too low; I expended ten hours of my remaining time in just five minutes, and I only managed to scan this continent.”
The scrolls had imprinted the information obtained from the World Laws and were the best resources for their mission of cleaning the continent of members of the True Empire, but Liye had needed to sacrifice one-fourth of his remaining time.
“The Tofesh Clan had yet to be cleaned of traitors.”
Revgen didn’t dislike the idea of the noble clans helping to clean the Revgen Empire, but first, the clans needed to be cleaned.
“There are only five traitors in the Tofesh Clan; it seems that they didn’t put too much effort on them since they didn’t focus in battle. Just order the Imperial Family to kill those five ants, and the Tofesh Clan is clean.”
Those five were at the Grandmaster Rank, so it wasn’t hard for the Imperial Family to kill all of them.
