Chapter 275 Mother of All Creatures and the Streetlight


The events that transpired at Violet Manor were but a minor episode for Lu Yan.

In truth, under normal circumstances, the primary obstacles faced by the union's development should have been the emerging aristocracy and the capitalists.

Before the workers truly unite, the emerging aristocrats and capitalists maintain an absolute advantage, requiring long-term evolution to truly unleash the union's potential.

However, Lu Yan did not have the time to engage in a battle of wits and courage with those minor nobles and capitalists.

He directly utilized Creation and Transformation to alter everyone's perception, allowing them to subconsciously accept Lu Yan's transaction, accelerating the union's formation.

From the perspective of normal societal evolution, this approach is indeed somewhat radical.

Workers suddenly acquiring these rights without undergoing struggle could not fundamentally change the existing mindset, laying some hidden dangers for the future.

But possessing an almost overwhelming power yet being overly cautious, adhering to societal evolution, such actions seem somewhat hypocritical and laughable.

Ultimately, this is an Extraordinary world where everything is based on power.

If Lu Yan truly had a power comparable to This World's Only One, providing security for all workers and closing all brothels would be merely a whim.

Overly adhering to societal evolution while ignoring the influence of one's own power can instead lead from one extreme to another.

After completing this transaction, Lu Yan chose not to linger much longer.

Declining the invitations from the nobles and Transcendents, Lu Yan left the manor and boarded the carriage for his return journey.

Sitting in the carriage, watching the dim lights outside, Lu Yan fell into contemplation.

The Extraordinary banquet at Violet Manor concluded successfully, and Lu Yan achieved all his objectives.

The only unexpected incident was Baron Welton and the saint behind him.

After killing the Sequence Four saint, Lu Yan had also looked into Baron Welton's memories, gaining some understanding of the prior events.

Baron Welton is considered an emerging noble, and neither his family's reputation nor foundational strength qualifies them to engage with a Sequence Four saint.

Baron Welton first encountered that saint because of his son who embarked on the Path to the Extraordinary.

His son is a Sequence Eight Transcendent, and during an underground Transcendent gathering, his lavish spending caught the saint's attention.

The saint took the initiative to appear and took his son as an apprentice, then leveraged the Welton clan's influence to amass wealth and gather Extraordinary resources lavishly.

The Welton clan naturally wished to latch onto this saint, almost catering to his every need.

In fact, just a few months ago, the saint claimed to need a large number of living people for an experimental Extraordinary ritual, and Baron Welton complied.

For this, the Welton clan's people blew up one of their own coal mines, burying no less than three hundred workers, creating the false appearance of a mine accident.

After a mock rescue yielded no results, Baron Welton symbolically compensated each of the three hundred workers' families with five gold pounds as compensation.

Seizing this opportunity, Baron Welton obtained a Communication Secret Talisman from the saint, enabling communication if necessary.

At the Extraordinary banquet at Violet Manor, Baron Welton used this Communication Secret Talisman to convey the information about Lu Yan presenting a large number of Space Artifacts to the saint, which attracted the saint's surreptitious peeping.

"It seems the value of Space Artifacts in the enigmatic version is much higher than I imagined."

Lu Yan secretly calculated in his heart.

"Besides, the entirety of Oranck seems to have extremely tight monitoring on Extraordinary Power from Sequence Four and above.

At the moment I made my move to erase the saint, even a slight trace of inconspicuous Extraordinary fluctuation attracted the Great Cathedral's investigation.

If it hadn't been for hastily altering memories, perhaps those eyes might have captured some trace."

Within the carriage, Lu Yan recalled those eyes above the high heavens, not particularly powerful, but carrying a peculiarly distinct aura of rules.

If not for the Supreme Divine Techniques of Creation and Transformation possessing a crushing Position, perhaps he would indeed be constrained by the rules.

"Is this the Sealed Object monitoring Oranck?"

Contemplating this, Lu Yan glanced towards Violet Manor from the corner of his eye.

With Lu Yan, the core of the banquet, leaving, neither Transcendents nor nobles present had the inclination to continue any further.

Today, Lu Yan brought too many shocks for them, especially the Transcendents who couldn't wait to go back and test the effects of the storage bags.

The banquet quickly reached its conclusion, the light of the crystal chandelier gradually dimmed, and the many elegantly dressed nobles and Transcendents began to exit the manor one after another.

The waiting attendants promptly greeted them, as one luxurious carriage after another started, with the sound of hooves gradually receding into the night.

Amidst the many departing guests, Baron Welton was unremarkable.

He sat in the dark carriage, his silhouette appearing solitary and weary in the dim light.

Today, having reached a transaction with a saint should have been a joyous event, yet Welton felt an inexplicable unease, as if unseen eyes were watching him from behind.

His hand instinctively reached several times for the Communication Secret Talisman in his bosom, the only means to contact the Hidden Saint.

But each time, just as he was about to touch the Communication Secret Talisman, he stopped, as if an invisible force was holding him back, his subconscious making him abandon the idea of consulting the Hidden Saint.
