"Why are you here?"

Balder looked at Liens, who walked into the tent, with some surprise.

"I want to talk to you," Liens said.

Hearing that, Balder frowned slightly, then turned seriously to the adjutants who were handling affairs in the tent, and ordered, "You all go out for a moment. Do not come in unless it is urgent."

"Yes, sir," the adjutants immediately put down their work and quickly walked out of the tent.

Although he didn't know what Liens wanted to talk to him about, Balder still dismissed everyone else.

"Sit," Balder said, gesturing for Liens to sit down after the adjutants left.

"Do you need soundproofing?" Balder asked Liens, confirming the privacy of their conversation.

"I've already done it," Liens replied calmly.

"Is that so? Your methods are truly superb. I can't tell what ability you used at all."

Balder looked around the surroundings a few times but still found nothing unusual, so he stopped paying attention and refocused on Liens.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Balder asked.

"Originally, I didn't know what kind of interaction I would have with the last person, but after seeing you, I knew what my question was."

"Balder, what is your reason for raising the banner of rebellion?" Liens responded to Balder's question with a counter-question.

According to what he learned from Lucrezia, the Rebel Army was initially formed by Balder recruiting people one by one.

At the same time, it was Balder who actively contacted the God of Absolute Fairness Elthorp, which to a certain extent, prompted the occurrence of this special war.

Balder didn't know what Liens meant by "the last person," but he understood the subsequent question.

He didn't answer without thinking after hearing the question. Instead, his mind raced, considering how to answer Liens's question reasonably.

He was past the age of speaking without thinking, and his current position forced him to be responsible for every word he spoke.

After a while, Balder responded earnestly:

"I want to build a nation of equality, a country without royalty or nobility, a country without oppression."

"This country might not be able to achieve absolute equality. People's status might still have highs and lows, and some people might discriminate against others due to work or other reasons."

"But at least in law and human morality, everyone is equal. No one can arbitrarily trample upon or oppress others."

Although Balder's words were somewhat embellished, Liens could still see that he was not lying but was expressing his true feelings or dream.

"Have you ever been lost? Or rather, will you be lost?"

"Facing a war that might fail, facing the intervention of an unmatchable, incomprehensible higher existence, facing Their schemes, will you feel powerless due to your weakness?"

Liens looked at Balder and continued to ask.

"Yes."

"I will be lost, sometimes I will feel powerless, even despair… But I will not give up, because I am now on the path to success."

"I will not fail; at most, I will not be as successful."

"Although time is short, the Rebel Army has already spread its ideals. The seeds of equality have been sown along the Rebel Army's journey."

"Even if we are ultimately defeated, those who come after us will raise the banner of resistance against oppression along our path."

"This is also success."

Without the slightest hesitation, Balder responded with a firm tone.

"The self pursuing dreams… I roughly understand the revelation of destiny."

Liens listened to Balder's speech, feeling his inner resolve. After he finished speaking, Liens pondered for a moment and then whispered softly.

"Revelation of destiny?"

Hearing that, Balder frowned, his expression becoming even more serious. Although he didn't know the details, these words made him even more certain that this conversation with Liens was not simple.

Liens didn't explain but asked another question: "What was your reason for actively seeking out the God of Absolute Fairness? Was it purely to counter the Sword Saint?"

Although he had roughly understood what destiny wanted him to do, he still had some questions in his mind, and he took this opportunity to ask Balder for clarification.

"Liens, have you ever been to other countries, or learned about other countries on the continent?" Balder asked in return.

Compared to his previous firmness, this question made Balder hesitate for a moment.

But thinking of Liens's importance to the Rebel Army, and thinking of the giant sword that fell from the sky, he finally chose to speak out.

Liens was too important to the Rebel Army. He didn't want some so-called secrets to cause Liens to misunderstand and distrust the Rebel Army.

"I went to the neighboring Neil Kingdom and stayed in their border town for half a year. As for other countries, I only learned their simple introductions from books," Liens replied.

"Then you should know about great nations with titles like the Magical Guidance Nation and the Free Country, right?"

"Whether it's the prevalence of magic in the Magical Guidance Nation or the free atmosphere in the Free Country, after investigation, I found that they are more or less related to the Legend who founded the country."

"The power of a Legend is like a beacon, constantly influencing the citizens of that country."

"The millions of people in the Hartwin Kingdom have endured hundreds of years of oppression and domestication for generations. Most people find it difficult to change their perception of being humble."

"Therefore, I hope to use Liens's power to subtly change the minds of the citizens, and with education, true equality will become everyone's habit in a few years."

"People will also respect each other and no longer arbitrarily oppress and harm each other."

Balder's eyes showed yearning, as if the prosperous era he anticipated was being projected before him from the future.

"So that's it. Do you want to invert cause and effect?"

Balder's words reminded Liens of when the God of Absolute Fairness Elthorp dispersed part of his Godhood in Kala City.

He suspected that Elthorp had deeply integrated his power into the spread of the Rebel Army's concept of equality in this region, intending to invert cause and effect after most of the kingdom's people accepted the idea of equality.

To achieve the transformation from a wicked God of Absolute Fairness to a Legend symbolizing equality and respect.

Although he wasn't entirely sure that this was the complete truth of the ritual, his intuition told him that it was at least part of the truth.

Previously in the instance, Elthorp also stated that the ritual had reached a new stage. Currently, it seems that this new stage might be when the number of people who accept the concept of equality reaches a certain number.

If that's the case, the existence of "those who come after" that Balder mentioned is indeed very likely.

The seed has already sprouted. Even if they are defeated, Elthorp will not easily give up and will certainly re-establish a new Rebel Army.

And as a wicked God, Liens has enough time to complete his plan. If it doesn't work once, then twice; if not twice, then three or four times. As long as Liens lives long enough, there will always be opportunities.

"Through what channel did Lucrezia join the Rebel Army?" Liens asked another noteworthy question.

Hearing that, Balder's gaze towards Liens became somewhat unusual, but he didn't ask Liens why he cared about such things. Instead, he gave the answer directly.

Upon hearing the answer, Liens wasn't too surprised; he only further confirmed a conjecture in his mind.
