"Lord Human Robin is not the type to release something like this without studying every minute detail with absolute precision," Timari shook her head slowly, "that ratio, I am certain he personally engraved it, refined it, and bound it according to his own will, leaving no room for error or randomness."
"..." Morval fell silent for a few moments, clearly digesting her words, then turned toward Timari with a deeper look, "Doesn't that mean he is capable of creating an even more complex array, one that could compress a far greater number of units and perhaps reach an entirely different scale?"
Timari nodded calmly, "We already possess a method that achieves something similar, so why would it be surprising for someone like Lord Robin to reach such a point, or even surpass it in his own way?"
"...Just how far has he advanced in soul matters as well, Timari?" Morval frowned slightly, his brows tightening before he looked forward again, "This time he has shown his progress in that field in a very clear and undeniable manner, and this is not amusing at all... that person is still only a thousand years old, yet he moves as if time itself bends around him."
"As long as he is our ally and does not intend to strike at our interests, what is the problem?" Timari laughed lightly, a hint of amusement in her voice, "Last time you said he always walks along the edge of the red lines, hehe, and it seems he is doing exactly that once again."
"Ooh, not this time, this time he has gone beyond it, he made an enormous leap far past the red line," Morval shook his head slowly, "Publishing his array itself does not pose a major threat, not directly at least, but his personal advancement in the field of the soul is deeply concerning... this level of progress in soul matters is not something we would normally allow to exist freely without interference."
Then he continued after a brief pause, a strange smile forming on his face, "...Lord Robin has crossed the red line entirely, I can practically see him standing there, provoking me, licking his lips as if daring me to make a move, yet both he and I know very well that I cannot act against him."
His eyes then gleamed sharply, "The sheer amount of benefits that come from the Soul Inheritance Array is simply enormous, beyond what most can even imagine!"
The array was priced at only one thousand pearls.
A single person can bind it to themselves soul-wise and use it exclusively, it cannot be shared with others, and more than one cannot be activated at the same time, ensuring that duplication or misuse is impossible, which means it cannot truly be stolen or redistributed, and it is not even dangerous for someone to openly reveal that they possess one.
Its price is also carefully balanced to suit residents of the Middle Belt, even someone living in a remote village could eventually gather this amount with enough time, patience, and effort, making it widely accessible rather than restricted to elites.
And everyone will undoubtedly attempt to obtain it... this array represents their guaranteed path toward silver soul power, and potentially even beyond that threshold into greater realms of strength and influence.
Gradually, over the coming years, the streets will begin to empty... some
individuals will dedicate themselves entirely to gathering emeralds to strengthen their power, while others will pursue them as a source of easy and consistent profit, creating a shift in societal behavior.
Based on the usual price of emerald units, where one unit equals a pearl, any individual will be able to recover the full cost of the array, the one thousand pearls, within just three years of steady use, and anything beyond that point will become pure profit, an extremely significant and life-changing gain for the poor and the struggling.
Some will choose to sell their earnings in exchange for resources, while others will reinvest by purchasing more emeralds to further enhance their strength... the coming period will witness the emergence of a massive new emerald market among ordinary people, a decentralized economy growing beyond the direct control of governments.
It will finally provide a stable and independent source of income for lone fighters, who previously had no choice but to wander in chaos or work as mercenaries as their only means of survival... now they can create their own livelihood through the array, shaping their own path.
You could spend a year mining your wealth, accumulating resources and power, and then spend another year exploring the universe freely, without chains or obligations.
"The coming period will witness an enormous surge in the number of people who now possess a stable and respectable source of income, individuals who were once struggling to survive but will soon find themselves capable of standing on their own feet, people who will purchase all of Lord Human's products with open hearts, satisfaction, and genuine gratitude, not out of necessity alone but out of belief in what those products represent."
"The benefits of the Soul Inheritance Array are truly vast and far-reaching, it will significantly strengthen the path of lone trainees who previously had little to rely on but themselves, it will increase the number of low-level soul users across countless regions, and it will drive our sales upward at an unprecedented rate. We have already begun planning a dedicated division specifically for the trading and circulation of soul emeralds to keep up with the expected demand... and beyond all that, it fits perfectly with our original long-term strategies," Timari nodded with confidence, "but I still do not think that Syndicate will welcome this development."
"..." Morval gave a slow nod, his expression calm yet thoughtful, "I do not believe our little friend will hesitate even for a moment before causing them harm."
That Syndicate, the Hidden Hand Syndicate, stands as the primary controller and the largest owner of specter farms throughout the entire universe, an organization whose influence stretches far deeper than most are willing to
admit.
For example, if that Syndicate owns one hundred farms, then all other forces combined might barely manage to own a single one, such is the imbalance of power they hold in this domain.
It can be said without exaggeration that they are the central authority over the supply of emeralds across the universe, as specters have long been the primary and sole source of emeralds available to the general population, at least until
this very day.
"...I understand that there are conflicts and tensions between them, but to this extent?" Timari spoke with visible concern, her tone more serious than before, "Soul emeralds are the backbone of that Syndicate's entire profit structure. I cannot even begin to imagine what kind of reaction they will have to today's announcement."
"They will not take direct action against Lord Robin as long as the Cosmic Elder remains alive and watching," Morval waved his hand lightly as if dismissing the immediate danger, "the most they will do is intensify the pressure they are already applying on the Shadow Swords... Theo will soon be facing an epic storm in response to what happened today, and perhaps Caesar and Aro will find themselves dragged into it as well."
"And what about us?" Timari asked, her gaze sharpening slightly, "Are we not partners in what is unfolding right now? Are we not already involved whether we admit it or not?"
"..." Morval smiled faintly, a knowing look in his eyes, "You are a promising first row scion, without a doubt, but you have yet to see the full picture, and even
I... have not seen all of it yet."
"...?"
"Timary, to put it very simply... we do not desire a direct confrontation with
that Syndicate, this is an undeniable truth," Morval spoke in a firm and serious tone, "but at the same time, they have no intention of coming to us in search of trouble either."
"I find myself wondering what the universe will look like a hundred years from now, or perhaps a thousand," Morval shifted the topic as his eyes drifted toward the crowd, where people had already begun placing purchase orders in a near frenzy, their excitement barely contained, "this will be a magnificent sight, something truly grand, something worth waiting for with patience."
"What exactly are you referring to?" Timari asked, clearly curious now, "Are you talking about the expansion of purchasing power, the rapid increase in the number of minor soul masters, or perhaps the rise and empowerment of lone cultivators across the sectors?"
"...." Morval slowly raised his head, his expression turning distant, "No, I am
speaking of something far greater than all of that... I am speaking about the complete collapse of the imperial system as we know it, or perhaps the irreversible destruction of the very boundaries that define human morality"
"...?"
"Whichever path reality chooses to take," Morval continued with a faint, almost anticipatory smile, "we will witness it with our own eyes soon enough, and when that moment comes, there will be no turning back."
