After entering the Instance , Liens first "learned" a few rounds from Earl Bard, then probed Bishop Roxana, and finally began to test his previous idea.

That so-called idea was named "Anchor Point."

It was an idea he had after seeing faith, recalling a novel from his previous life where faith could serve as an Anchor Point to maintain the balance between divinity and humanity, thus he conceived the idea of establishing an Anchor Point for himself.

His current "condition" can be simply described as—his emotions are being assimilated by the immeasurable information of Heaven and Earth.

As mentioned before, when a person forges their True Path to reach Heaven, while influencing Heaven and Earth, they are also influenced by Heaven and Earth.

This is similar to how ordinary people become Extraordinary Ones by borrowing the power of elements, their bodies, and even their spirits are also influenced by the elements.

This is also why knights like Leinajin have Sword Styles that are very similar to their elemental attributes.

This is partly due to their active pursuit and partly the result of the subtle influence of the elements.

The current situation is much the same; because of the Instance , his progress in the realm of Heaven and Earth has been too fast, causing his self-adjustment ability to be unable to keep up with the assimilation speed of Heaven and Earth.

Coupled with frequent "Heaven and Man as One," he has gradually stepped into another level of existence, and it is no longer possible to counteract the influence of Heaven and Earth by relying solely on his own will.

According to his estimation, his emotions would slowly degenerate to the state of "Heaven and Man as One," or even worse, become a completely rational state without even a goal.

To put it nicely, his divinity would completely occupy his mind; to put it harshly, he would become a "stone" that can think, and later might even abandon thinking.

Of course, perhaps the body's instincts and old habits would make him appear human, such as eating when hungry or fighting back when attacked.

But for him, what difference is there between such a life, completely without goals and even without the existence of thought, and death?

The reason why a person is a person is because of the existence of humanity, the existence of desires, and the existence of goals to pursue.

He doesn't know if higher-level existences would lose their humanity, but in his situation, if he loses his humanity and his goals, he wouldn't even have the motivation to advance to a higher realm.

Therefore, he must make changes before his "condition" reaches its most severe state.

Currently, only part of his emotions has been affected, which is why he appears somewhat melancholic and easily influenced by external emotions.

If human emotions are likened to a massive mountain range, both peaks and valleys are part of human emotions and manifestations of emotional diversity.

But most of the time, the emotions of valleys and low peaks are suppressed by conspicuous high mountains, causing people to exhibit a certain personality in their emotions.

For example, aloofness, bloodthirstiness, infatuation, passion, narcissism, and so on…

The influence of Heaven and Earth on him is like a spreading and rising sea level; when there was less "water" before, the emotional mountain range could still absorb that "water."

But when the "water" exceeds the absorption limit of the emotional mountain range, it will gradually submerge the low valleys and eventually engulf the entire mountain range.

Now, because the low-lying areas have been submerged, his originally integrated emotional mountain range has become isolated peaks without connection.

This has caused some previously suppressed emotions to also begin to show their existence, which is also the reason he is now easily affected by external emotions.

Attention to the opposite sex, resonance with tragedy, pity for others… he might have had these before, but they would absolutely not be emotional, thus affecting his own thinking.

For example, if it were his former self perceiving that resentment upon entering Kara City, he would most likely treat it as something worth paying attention to, rather than sighing.

After explaining the "condition," it's time to talk about how to treat it.

Since he can no longer prevent the "sea level from continuing to rise," he will find a way to reclaim land from the sea, allowing the isolated emotional peaks to reconnect into a single mountain range.

As for where the "soil" for reclaiming land comes from? This involves the so-called "Anchor Point."

Human emotions are not static; they change with a person's experiences, and with the people and other things encountered.

Just like vast changes over time, with the passage of time, what was once a vast sea can become mulberry fields, and what was once flat ground can rise into high mountains.

He hopes to use the "Anchor Point" to establish a connection between himself and all beings, and through this connection, obtain the "soil" of humanity from other people or things, thereby resisting the influence of Heaven and Earth.

This process will continue until he himself possesses the ability to resist the influence of Heaven and Earth, which means finding a steadfast "beacon" for himself.

Of course, force is mutual; he anticipates that while utilizing the "Anchor Point," he will likely also be influenced by the "Anchor Point," which might cause his own emotions to lean towards the "Anchor Point."

But this influence, compared to the result of becoming a "stone," is choosing the lesser of two evils.

As long as the time delayed by the "Anchor Point" is sufficient, he believes he will eventually find his "beacon" and reclaim himself.

With this confidence, Liens combined what he had learned, and even continuously sought answers from Heaven and Earth through "Heaven and Man as One" to gradually complete his idea.

...

Liens opened his eyes and looked at Reid in front of him. Now, when he enters the Instance , he sets up a simple magic around his body, which will wake him up when someone approaches.

"Is there something?"

Liens glanced at the box in Reid's hand, guessing that this might be the other party's purpose in coming to him. Sure enough, Reid's next action confirmed his guess.

"Mr. Liens, I apologize for disturbing your cultivation so abruptly. I am here to hand this over to you."

Reid extended the box in his hands towards Liens with both hands.

"What is this?"

Liens did not take it directly but first asked Reid about the item inside the box.

"This is an item you brought back from the Glenbagen Family's evacuated personnel. Because it is too important, Ben and I unanimously agreed that it would be safer in your hands."

"This is a magical item that has begun to show 'inheritance' properties, and it is the control core of the Glenbagen Family's hidden guard contract."

"As long as the owner establishes a connection with this magical item, then people of the same bloodline as the owner can influence those marked by this magical item through the contract."

"Of course, this magical item has its limits and cannot control too many people, but when it begins to show 'inheritance' properties, everything will be different."

"Mr. Liens, do you understand 'inheritance items'?"

Reid asked Liens seriously.

"Inheritance items."

Liens looked at the box in Reid's hand with some surprise. He had learned a little about the concept of "inheritance items" when he was in Hughes Town.

To describe it simply in game terms, it is a type of growth-oriented tool or weapon that can theoretically be upgraded indefinitely.

Although it can only theoretically be upgraded indefinitely, such a growing item is undoubtedly a treasure.

He didn't expect such a thing to drop from the Glenbagen Family's relics.
