Chapter 239: The Tide Rises

Lex was the most absurd and useless Heroic Soul Li En had ever met, but he was also indeed the most generous.

His "single-mindedness" was ridiculously strong, and combined with the state of possessing a Heroic Soul, it allowed Li En to enjoy the talent and progress speed of a heaven's favorite for several days.

"Want to raise satisfaction? Treat my daughters well."

Lex said nothing, but his fluctuating satisfaction seemed to repeatedly emphasize this sole standard of judgment. This absurd Heroic Soul was only interested in his own family; to gain his satisfaction, one had to be a good "foolish father."

Compared to Sul's "judging evil" and Kuk's hard work in studying (Li En's completion rate was very low, so the final settlement score was actually not high), Lex's requirements were probably the easiest to fulfill.

"I just said I'd consider it, didn't promise I could definitely handle it, and he raised my satisfaction by 20 points."

Li En sighed; he knew that after the matter was over, he could regret it. But looking at the pitiful Dai Niya, and under the influence of the Heroic Soul, in the end, he couldn't hold back.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

Considering the many competitors to come, he had no confidence in ultimately winning.

But if a "Kingdom" was used as bait, it should attract many figures worthy of being called heroes.

In reality, if the Kingdom continued like this, its collapse would likely be a matter of twenty years; it was better to take a gamble.

"Sigh."

Li En sighed; he really didn't want to deal with this mess.

And the developments shortly after proved Li En's expectations.

"Uh, if I burn a portion of my power and soul, I should be able to conduct a hero potential search across half a continent. Although I'm not as skilled in spatial abilities as Senior Snake, brute force should work."

This person is completely beyond saving.

But if one truly recruited talents from the entire world, it might actually change many things.

Honor, beauties (fraudulent), power, a Kingdom, territories, strength, the legacy of a hero... this should be enough to twist many things.

Ninety-nine percent of the visitors had nothing to do with winning, but their arrival alone would be enough to reverse the Kingdom's current decline, at least helping Radiant City solve the major trouble below and avoid total national destruction.

If Lex could reach contracts with a few core personnel, it could also prevent the situation from spiraling completely out of control.

And Li En seemed able to gain a lot in the middle of it.

He had realized that the existence of the Hall of Heroic Souls made him, who "controlled" resources, unknowingly become the core of the Heroic Soul heirs. These young people, whose abilities and virtues were recognized, were like a "class reunion" in another sense, vaguely forming a private alliance.

Every inheritance of a new Heroic Soul was a reunion of this "organization."

These young talents scattered across the world were destined to grow continuously and expand their influence over time.

Their power would naturally grow stronger, and they would naturally become more capable of interfering with the world.

Perhaps this was the design of the Thousand-Faced Dragon; it meant that special individuals like Li En, while continuously acquiring power, could also gain the power to gradually change the world.

When he first met Dai Niya and heard about the "legendary Hall of Heroic Souls" and the "title of heir," perhaps in history, some generation of the Thousand-Faced Dragon like Li En used the young people of the Hall of Heroic Souls to form a hidden force to transform the world.

"But I don't want to change the world; I just want to live well."

Li Ensu, the workplace chameleon, had this kind of personality to begin with; if he truly had great desires and ambition, he wouldn't have taken that path.

"Actually, I just want to live well too; I don't want to be a continental hero or the unrivaled one under heaven."

In this regard, Lex and Li En were in agreement.

But looking at Lex, Li En frowned; why did this feel like he had set a negative flag?

But reality was just like this: with power, resources, and status, when the whole world stirred up a storm, one could not ultimately remain outside the matter.

You think you are strong and capable of self-preservation? But this strength and this reputation mean you are destined to become a pawn in others' calculations.

"Uh, I'm different, right? I'm just a commoner, I haven't encountered chaotic times, the Kingdom is struggling to survive now, and I have no ability to cause trouble."

"Are you sure? The Demon Tide is about to begin, isn't it?"

Li En fell silent; it was indeed true, and this seemed to be the reason for his "awakening."
