Could he lead everyone in a desperate situation if the leader of a faction was mentally unstable and met with real difficulties?

No matter how powerful he was now, it was just seasonal seafood.

The mentality was the cornerstone of becoming a powerhouse.

“Lord Richard, I see is a fragment in the endless mist. It might happen if nothing changes and things develop in this direction.

“But it will only be a warning if we set up the plan.

“The New Era is the same. We could achieve our goals if we slack off and even give up on our goals just because we see the future full of possibilities.

“Then the result might be that one would shatter hope and extinguish the flame.”

Windsor had a noble temperament and had a deep and calm look in her eyes that outsiders could not understand.

“Lord Richard, before the New Era, the Mortal Plane will be in unprecedented chaos and darkness.

“Those gods one had stripped their authority will transform into the most brutal beasts and devour everything.

“The forces hiding in the dark for countless years will also be restless.

“Even the bottomless abyss will be connected to the Mortal Plane.”

He stared at Richard, and his tone became unusually solemn.

“The system will reorganize all the rules after the chaos. And I will lose half of the power I control. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you anymore.

“But I hope you can lead your territory and survive until the day the New Era begins, no matter what happens in the future.”

The air fell silent again.

Richard’s expression was complicated. He was silent for long.

Dark Valkyrie and Vale’s expressions softened.

Fortunately, that so-called future fragment had not become an unchangeable fact.

Otherwise, they could not imagine what would happen if that happened.

They probably did not need to live in this world anymore. The sky would fall if anything happened to Richard.

He would shatter again the confidence that Dark Valkyrie had gained from her rapid increase in strength.

A strong sense of urgency rose in her heart.

She needed to become stronger, stronger!

She was so powerful that no one could hurt her master under her protection!!

She would never allow the future fragment Windsor mentioned to happen. Never!

The desire for power again engulfed her eyes.

She wanted to break through to legend or even demigod as soon as possible.

Then demigods would be the most powerful existences in the Mortal Plane if the gods lost their authority.

She could only protect her master by mastering the soul-strapping power.

Vale’s heart was also in turmoil. Some of the plans he had previously conceived were risky, and some quickly surfaced in his mind.

He suddenly made up his mind.

High risk meant high returns.

Time didn’t allow the Violet Merchant Association Chamber of Commerce to continue developing like this.

He needed the Violet Merchant Association Chamber of Commerce to expand in the shortest time possible to provide more support to Twilight City.
Richard looked at Windsor. She was silent. She let out a long sigh.

All the gods had lost their authority, and Windsor naturally could not be an exception. Otherwise, there would be no need to start a New Era.

Wouldn’t it be better for the other party to eliminate all the unstable factors?

Richard pondered. He slowly said, “Will the Ell Players Association be less useful to us if the big change is coming soon?”

One had stripped the gods’s authority. The conflict between the Old Camp and the other party became less vital.

Windsor shook her head.

“No, it’s the opposite. The more unstable it is, the more obvious the effect of the Grace Mainland Lords will be.”

“The Ell Players Association will be the last straw to crush the gods.”

“The devouring of the gods will also be the key to a New Era.”

She spoke in a solemn tone.

“Lord Richard, last month, the Crimson Moon established a branch in a Special Plane.”

“Next, you can tell the coordinates of that plane to the Ell Players Association and let them go…”

“All the Grace Mainland Lords here will receive rewards one can’t refuse.”

“The only condition is to become a member of the ancient ones.”

Richard nodded and did not object.

At this stage, most players were still neutral or on the side of the sect.

However, it was not a big deal for the players with milk switch camps. They would even sell themselves as long as the benefits were enough.

Crimson Moon was the main character of the new expansion pack. Those guys had probably waited for this day for a long time.

Who didn’t want to reap benefits more often?

Richard discussed the general direction. He discussed many details with Windsor.

The Crimson Moon’s next move, the other party’s plans after the situation changed, and so on.

Richard and Crimson finally stopped after three hours when the dwarf clock on the wall reached 12.

The Mortal Plane was about to enter unprecedented chaos. There were too many things to prepare.

Windsor summoned the maid and asked her to prepare lunch.

The entire floor where her office was a private area. There was no one else.

The office was not the only private area. The dining room, living room, bedroom, and bathroom were secluded.

The group returned to the office after lunch in the dining room.

The maid made hot tea again.

Richard sat comfortably on the soft sofa and slowly savored the food.
