Lucrezia roughly described the Loose Alliance and what had happened over the past seven days to Liens.

The so-called Loose Alliance was not a specific faction name, but a general term used by the Rebel Army for the numerous forces that had united to stir up trouble in the Hartwin Kingdom.

These forces included noble factions within the kingdom that had not joined the Rebel Army but had rebelled against the royal family amidst the chaos, as well as forces secretly inserted by neighboring countries.

When Lucrezia mentioned this, Liens thought of the Divine Wind Adventurer Group, with whom he had some karmic ties.

At the time, he had suspected that the Divine Wind Adventurer Group was a force inserted by the Neil Kingdom to cause trouble in the Hartwin Kingdom.

Given the Divine Wind Adventurer Group's situation, even if they were caught in the Hartwin Kingdom, the Neil Kingdom could easily disavow them at any time.

They would claim it was merely an independent action by an Adventurer Group within the Neil Kingdom, not representing official views, and then issue a strong condemnation, and that would be more or less it.

Although everyone knew what was going on, at least on the surface, the two countries would not have a major diplomatic incident because of it.

If the Hartwin Kingdom eventually quelled the rebellion, then the Neil Kingdom would still be the Hartwin Kingdom's good neighbor, and they could still do business together and maintain mutual exchanges.

However, this facade was dropped by the Neil Kingdom itself after Alfred encountered problems.

Compared to gaining a bad reputation, the Neil Kingdom clearly cared more about tangible benefits, such as territory.

According to the information Balder and his team had investigated, the Neil Kingdom had already gathered troops at the border between the two countries and could invade the Hartwin Kingdom and seize its territory at any time.

Besides the forces inserted by neighboring countries, Balder and his team also found traces of Eldore, the Free Country, within the Loose Alliance.

Several days ago, the reason the Rebel Army was forced to withdraw from Baker City was that a certain force had suddenly attacked a city occupied by the Rebel Army.

They intended to carry out a terrorist attack on the city's residents to increase public anxiety about the war and reduce public trust in the Rebel Army.

If Liens, the new member who had just joined the Rebel Army, hadn't happened to be present at the time and prevented this crisis, who knows how many ordinary people in that city would have died in that sudden attack.

According to the post-incident investigation, Balder and his team highly suspected it was the work of the Free Country because those guys often did such things.

The Free Country is a nation very keen on war, often sending people to other countries to cause trouble, sometimes even claiming it is to spread freedom.

However, while they shout about freedom, their hearts are filled with self-interest.

Through this method of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, the Free Country has plundered resources from countless nations and is deeply resented by many.

Unfortunately, this world ultimately respects strength.

As a major power, the Free Country has an overwhelming advantage over smaller nations in all aspects; no matter how unwilling they are, smaller nations find it very difficult to deal with the Free Country.

And to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Balder and his team decided that, in addition to Patricius City, which served as the front line, at least one high-ranking official should be stationed in each of the other cities.

Therefore, five individuals, including Uria, left the front line, just like Robert and his two companions before them.

After her lengthy speech, Lucrezia pulled out a cup of warm black tea from somewhere, elegantly sipping it to moisten her slightly dry throat.

Looking at the tea in Lucrezia's hand, surprise flashed in Liens's eyes, then he smiled and congratulated her.

"I haven't congratulated you on successfully entering this realm yet. I didn't expect you to forge your own path so quickly. It truly is Lucrezia."

Hearing the compliment, the smile on Lucrezia's face deepened. She dropped her earlier pretense and chuckled, "I thought you'd say something like, 'As expected of a divine reincarnation.'"

"Although not much, I think I still have some emotional intelligence. When complimenting someone, you naturally have to find the right target."

Liens chuckled.

"By the way, can you reveal a little about the direction you've chosen?"

"The path I'm taking is relatively 'diverse'; it requires me to see more of the world and learn more about things I don't know."

From Lucrezia's deliberate showmanship just now, he had already discerned a characteristic of the path she had chosen; he could confirm it was a direction of solidifying the illusory.

The tea she had just consumed was not taken from a spatial item but was materialized through some kind of power.

It was so real that he hadn't even realized at first glance that it was an illusory object materialized by power.

One must know that Sense was his most outstanding ability in all aspects; in a sense, in terms of perceptive ability, he might be considered to have one foot in the Legend realm.

Space, causality, destiny… these conceptual abilities were not something an ordinary Master-level could touch.

"I was just thinking the same thing; I wanted you to give some guidance to me, who has just entered this realm."

"To avoid affecting my growth, 'He' erased most of His knowledge about that realm before reincarnation, retaining only some basic concepts."

"Although I have found the direction I want to take, I still have some confusion about how exactly to proceed."

Lucrezia nodded happily, briefly explaining her confusion.

"The direction I've chosen is called 'Illusory-Reality,' taking the illusory to form the real, and treating the real as illusory. A phantom world in my heart materializes in the world, and my own will replaces the will of Heaven."

After listening to Lucrezia's description of her path, Liens pondered for a moment, then replied.

"Your path is somewhat similar to mine. I wonder if it's something I gave you that influenced you?"

"However, since you are able to establish a connection with the world, it means our paths are fundamentally different… How about this, I have an ability that might provide you with some reference."

With that, Liens rose from the bed, raised his index finger, and lightly touched Lucrezia's forehead.

His index finger glowed faintly, and a vast stream of information about Heaven and Man as One poured into Lucrezia's mind.

After a while, Lucrezia finished receiving the information Liens had transmitted. Coming back to her senses, she looked at Liens with the eyes of someone staring at a monster.

"No wonder your emotions were so detached before; using this ability too much must have a severe impact on your own consciousness, right?"

"Moreover, I find it hard to understand how you constructed this ability? Just from the information you transmitted, I can feel the danger of the process."

"With the slightest carelessness, your consciousness would probably be directly submerged in an immeasurable sea of information."

"The word 'courage' isn't enough to describe your audacity."

Lucrezia sighed with emotion.

"However, this should be a 'Proving the Path' ability, right?"

The term 'Proving the Path' came from Liens.

When he established the Myriad Phenomena Path, he re-organized his own understanding and defined the cultivation path from Master to Legend as four stages.

Seeing the Path, Cultivating the Path, Proving the Path, and Walking the Path.

To put it simply, 'Seeing the Path' is just establishing a connection with the world, 'Cultivating the Path' is continuously extending along the chosen path, and 'Proving the Path' is demonstrating one's existence to the world.

As for 'Walking the Path,' it is beyond Legend, and Liens himself only has a basic concept of it.

Liens had included all this content in the 'Master's Gift Pack,' and Lucrezia was merely expressing it at the opportune moment.

"I only wanted you to give me some pointers, but you're so generous, directly offering your signature skill. It's left me a bit flustered."

"How do you think I should repay your generosity? How about I give myself to you?"

Lucrezia smiled, a blush rising on her cheeks. She stood up and moved closer to Liens, and the room obediently transformed itself into an alluring setting, with a hint of pink lingering between the two.
