His personal dimension has undergone some changes. The most noticeable would be the lake, which was created by himself using his authority, only that nowadays it is a proper lake. The subsequent changes would go unnoticed unless one knew the original state of this place, because unlike before, now there are beautiful flowers and a variety of insects that land on them before flying away.
The one who brought about these changes is still at work.
"Sky Petal, we need to talk. Go to the mansion as soon as you're free."
"Ah, Lawrence… Yes, I'll be there in a while."
She greets him with her hand and then returns to controlling dozens of vines, which remove the earth and plant seeds and plants from the outside.
After this brief exchange, Lawrence creates a Dimensional Rift and this time heads to the Inferior Plane. According to his women, each time he travels between planes the personal dimension does not undergo any change, only the stationary doors are the exception.
Lawrence calls Serene Will and Coldness Divine to the throne room. Although he thought about excluding Absolute Prominence, he ended up summoning her anyway.
Once Sky Petal arrives, he shares the predictions of Prescribed Dream.
"Will you lose your memory?"
This causes commotion, they all worry about the future that awaits him.
"If those were her words, it means that your regressions won't be able to help me or…"
Coldness Divine continues his words, "Or that is the best outcome."
Lawrence nods. Leaving aside the possibility that this is a false prediction, if an event were to happen where the gains far exceed the losses, he might consider it depending on which memories exactly he would forget. But if not, losing his memory in exchange for eliminating a formidable enemy is a good trade.
It's that or he will witness something he shouldn't have seen.
The one who breaks the silence is none other than Absolute Prominence.
"Regarding her prediction…"
She hides her proud smile with her hand, her demeanor appearing to be that of a noble lady. "By
No one objects to it, Lawrence just looks down at the ground, thinking about how much they will lose that day. If these women are still standing in front of him, their love for him is not necessarily the main reason, it is because he promised them that one day they would completely erase their past, that they have given him everything they possess.
This silence lasts much longer than the previous one. This time it's Coldness Divine who speaks. Because she cannot read his mind, she needs to get answers from her husband's mouth.
"Lawrence, I need to know what you will do, what you plan to do from now on. That's the only way to understand that prediction before it's too late."
Coldness Divine can rarely be so sincere, and Lawrence fears that if he doesn’t respond at this moment, this dragon girl might do something foolish.
"Alright. Although they're just thoughts, I'll tell you if you're so curious."
Planning is something only those in a good position can do, a position he does not have, so he has no choice but to act according to the situation, but this does not mean he hasn't created a landscape in his mind.
"The personal dimension showed that we still know nothing about what the evil sect Abyss Soul did to me, all our concern turned out to be in vain when it was all due to the improvement of the Boundless Fruit… Which made me wonder, what exactly is the purpose of the evil sects? And what are they doing to succeed?"
Despite being a member of it, the information he had access to was limited.
"If the opportunity arises, I want to investigate the evil sects."
Serene Will snorts, "That's a goal too ambitious. Knowing too much will make us enemies of humanity and the Greater Demons."
He does not deny it, he nods in agreement. "It's just a thought, now let me continue."
Lawrence gathers his thoughts and then snaps his fingers, "Right, if possible I want to establish a connection with the major merchants of the auction house. I'll use the second name of Sky Petal and let them know that Bearer of Light is not just a fertility pill refiner, that there are no pill recipes he cannot refine. Through this I will approach them."
Soon a new auction will be conducted at the Violet Twilight auction house, it will be at that moment that he plans to approach the item owners with the promise of accepting some special orders for his refiner.
"Yet, being friends with them is just a means to my true purpose."
It is then that he raises the topic that they were all waiting for.
"To destroy the Unquenchable Fire Brothel."
In her regressions, Coldness Divine showed that that subspace is not just a place where only prostitutes of level 300 reside, there are rankers who far surpass that level. Noble Indolence is one of them, the companions of Dark Root are other examples.
Coldness Divine faced the Unquenchable Fire Brothel with a level 500 compressed and manipulating the laws of the world, but even then was easily subdued and had it not been for Lawrence, she would not have been able to commit suicide.
"That place has existed for a long time, it's naive to think it doesn't have relations with the Heavenly Path Kingdom and some of its sects. Not only that, do you remember? That foreign sect from the Immortal Radiance Kingdom?"
"How could we forget?" Coldness Divine closes her eyes in disgust, the image of that day vividly appearing in her head. "Had it not been for the Supreme Ranker Imperishable Night, I would have had to regress."
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
Compared to her disgust, Lawrence speaks without any emotion.
"We must act thinking that the Unquenchable Fire Brothel has relations with both kingdoms. If we want to succeed we must be prepared for the worst. That's why I must keep working there, only with internal help can we increase our chances of success and overcome access restrictions. And that help, can only come from no one else but me."
When he manages to have Prescribed Dream on his side, he will be happy if those people allow him to continue working as a dao protector. There will be no one more trustworthy than him to obtain internal information, even if it means losing the privileges he has taken for granted until now.
"The prerequisites for this are that you reach level 700 and that…" He looks at Serene Will and smiles. "You steal all the contacts from that, you can keep hiring his services until you're sure you know them all."
Only with information will they be able to find the weakness of the strong and make their way through adversity. If they rely solely on their sword, it's laughable that they still have hopes for the future.
"I've already stolen some of his contacts, although it's still too early to establish communication with them. I will earn the ire of an informant like Sacrilegious Pagan, so before doing anything against him, I'll earn his trust."
"You're doing well, making an enemy of an information seller can be a thorn in the side."
Lawrence tries to think of something else to talk about when he sees Absolute Prominence raise her hand. It is interesting to see how this tiger girl is slowly starting to stop seeing him as someone to whom she swore her loyalty, but instead as a man.
"What will you do after the destruction of the Unquenchable Fire Brothel?"
"Wait."
The faces of his women change at his answer and he sighs, "10 years, no… We'll have to wait 20 years before we can go outside. Anyone will be willing to provide information about us in order to obtain favor from one of those kingdoms, I don't want to become someone else's stepping stone."
"Wait? Is that your answer?!"
Although it is Coldness Divine who expresses her fury, the rest do not have a very different opinion. Except for Sky Petal, all of them are extremely proud women. They are willing to follow a plan, but not if it means poisoning the target without giving him a chance to fight.
For them waiting is no different from hiding like a worm in order to survive.
He snorts and stands up from his seat. "20 years is nothing! Do you think those behind this will forget us? I'm only doing this to avoid unnecessary problems, to walk quietly through the streets without attracting unnecessary attention!"
The destruction of the Unquenchable Fire Brothel may not be the end. The subsequent effects can sweep everything in their path if they are careless and this is something Lawrence plans to avoid. That inside that subspace there is a brothel, does not mean that the brothel owns the subspace.
Is there something hidden behind all this? Such thoughts force him to act with caution.
"My only damn plan is to destroy everything without leaving a trace and wait for our enemies to reveal themselves. If I have to wait 20 years, it will be 20 damn years!"
Then he begins to laugh like a madman, "And that will only happen if we survive! One damn day won't be enough to succeed. At some point, Coldness Divine will have to decide whether to regress or risk continuing. If she continues and, in the end, higher-level rankers arrive as reinforcements, the fire will consume everything! Absolutely everything!"
When he mentions the final phrase of the prediction of Prescribed Dream, everyone remains silent.
They are arguing about waiting 20 years when they don't even know if they will be successful, they forgot that this talk is about the future and not a planning of it.
Even so, Lawrence wants to achieve something from all this.
"Promise me that if we succeed, you will wait 20 years with me."
He knows that when the time comes these women will not agree, they will do everything possible to pounce on the enemy if this means getting answers or at least some strength. Because if they get something from the destruction of that place, it will not be happiness.
Again they remain silent, only one of them could have answered at the beginning if she wanted to. He, who knows her identity, after waiting a while looks at that woman.
"I promise."
Sky Petal is the first to promise and as soon as this happens, Serene Will wrinkles her nose. There may not have been a prior agreement, but she is able to read their minds, she knew what her husband wanted to convey with that previous look.
"Hah…"
Absolute Prominence is the next to do so. Her sigh is due to the fact that she does not know if she will participate in that battle.
"As long as we succeed, you can do what you want."
Coldness Divine is the next and after her is Serene Will, who just nodded her head.
"Good, don't forget your word when the time comes."
Lawrence walks towards the exit and just before leaving, reveals the last of his thoughts.
"I would also like to gather the talents from the Inferior Plane to turn them into cannon fodder when we face that brothel. Whether they will have the level necessary to be useful, only time will tell."
"Are you planning to create a sect?!"
Serene Will is surprised, this is something she hears for the first time. But her words echo without getting an answer, Lawrence has left the place.
