When I fight others, I never blame heaven or others. Watch closely, this is the gap in spirit and will between you and me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the holy sword in Wu Chang’s hand flashed with dazzling light, the blade emitted golden radiance, and a light blade soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glorious duel in the Holy Land forbids all talents, active skills, techniques, and items, but one can transform belief into a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is belief?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier considered himself the Son of the Plane, and the mission he carried was belief; the will on Wu Chang’s attribute panel was also belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he fought Xavier before, he only used the body of the Holy Sword of Lake Light and did not use his belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time for his 257 points of will to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier tilted his head, looking at the giant light sword whose tip disappeared into the sky, spanning over two hundred meters in total length, and a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To hell with fairness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang swung the giant holy sword in his hand and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great Excalibur!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant light sword slashed down vertically, with the momentum to cut the entire island in two, and cleaved down on Xavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier’s body of steel, condensed by belief, had no resistance under the giant light sword and was sliced in two vertically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and let out a relaxed breath; it was truly a hearty duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt satisfied with the final sword strike, but Xavier did not seem satisfied with this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he expected, a pool of resentment, red to the point of black, remained where Xavier had fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away the Holy Sword of Lake Light and walked toward the resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, it was time to reveal the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the resentment left by Xavier, and a large amount of red steam surged out from it, enveloping Wu Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the steam dissipated, he had already possessed the childhood Xavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier was born in a small town like White Stone Town; his parents were the town’s lords, and besides renting out land, they also ran a textile mill because the territory was near a tributary of the Hills River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a genius in the town since childhood, learning math and physics instantly. By the age of five, the private tutor his father hired was already sweating profusely under his questions, unable to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At seven, the tutor claimed there was nothing left to teach Xavier, suggested he go to the capital, Grimland, to study, and wrote him a letter of recommendation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Xavier, math and physics were puzzles where he knew the answer at a glance; the sense of achievement from answering them was not even as interesting as watching the private tutor scramble to flip through books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he truly liked was machinery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of gears colliding and the sound of steam gushing from valves fascinated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how complex the machine, he only needed to look at it a few times to dismantle its internal structure and understand its principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when he entered Grimland to study, he studied machinery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Researching machinery is an extremely expensive endeavor without sponsorship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To obtain sufficient wealth, he improved the existing looms in Stilan, doubling their work efficiency at the very least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This invention brought him huge wealth and made him a prominent figure in academia for a time, but he didn't care; he just wanted to focus more on studying these big guys made of steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier was a devout believer in the Holy Lord; he believed that everything was the Holy Lord’s arrangement, and he came into the world with this talent to fulfill a certain mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had not yet found what this mission was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, he arrived at the age of twenty in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until one day, he heard that a peer had improved the loom he designed, so he went to the factory that applied the new type of loom to check it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that day, he encountered two things that left a deep impression on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the guy named Masais, who came from a worker family, was indeed very talented. He was self-taught, had never entered a university, but had an extremely strong intuition for machinery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Masais looked very green at the time and would be at a loss as soon as he saw people, he stuttered many times when facing Xavier’s questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Chang still recognized that this immature young man would later transform into an executioner, capable of taking the lives of hundreds of transcendents with a blank expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was that Xavier saw a female worker who died suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that the female worker died after a twenty-hour overtime shift. Her colleagues were very indifferent to this; in the textile mill, such things were commonplace, but Xavier found it incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, when he was a child, his hometown ran a textile mill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family were only small lords and could only run basic water-powered textile mills, which used a lot of manpower during the weaving process, and workers needed to work 12 to 14 hours a day to support their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grimland’s industrial textile mills used the most advanced steam looms, and the weaving efficiency was sixty times that of water-powered looms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did Masais say that Grimland’s textile workers had to work 16 to 18 hours a day to survive, and 20-hour overtime was common?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more developed the industry and the higher the production efficiency, why did workers work longer hours without any obvious change in their living conditions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier, who was proficient in mathematics and known as a genius, encountered a problem he could not solve for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was that he seemed to have found the mission the Holy Lord had given him: to use machinery to liberate humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news was that the talent the Holy Lord gave him was not enough; he couldn't solve this problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, he had tried many inventions, attempting to make production completely independent of human labor, but all attempts ended in failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the research process, as his status rose, he began to come into contact with many big figures and learned that there were existences beyond ordinary human power; besides machinery, there were existences called transcendents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind became active, thinking about whether it was possible to integrate transcendence with machinery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, he discovered that he was not the only one with this idea; some scholars and new nobles were also trying to integrate the two, and even formed a club called the New Continent for this purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his understanding of machinery, Xavier easily joined it and learned a lot of knowledge about transcendent power there, such as mysticism and alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next period, he devoted all his energy to the Transcendent Club, hoping to use transcendent power to create the steam engine he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and he reached the age of thirty-five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He failed to integrate transcendent power and machinery into one, but he had studied mysticism and alchemy deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that he was only a thin layer of paper away from the integration of the two, and he only needed an opportunity to make a breakthrough and create a steam engine with transcendent power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this time, Luo En was elected Prime Minister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his inauguration speech, Luo En turned a gear and said the famous quote, \"I heard the roar of the era,\" which attracted Xavier’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the second year of Luo En’s term as Prime Minister, he secretly visited Xavier and asked Xavier for advice on some industrial issues. Among them, a concept was involved, which was transcendent industrialization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To consult Xavier, Luo En took out a large number of books recording mystical knowledge, the depth of which far exceeded the shabby collections of the New Continent Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the ideas in them were so good that even he couldn't help but praise them after reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his approval, Grimland University was established, inviting scholars from all walks of life to participate in the research of transcendent industrialization. Members of the New Continent Club, relying on their long-term research, easily mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the scholars who arrived, Her Majesty Olivia and Prime Minister Luo En gave great trust, and all books recording transcendent power were fully opened to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The New Continent Club was already half a step ahead in the research of transcendent machinery, and it only took them half a year to research the transcendent steam engine ahead of Grimland University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the transcendent steam engine was researched, the New Continent Club underwent some changes, and many members began to think that they possessed the power of progress and should have the status to match it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To highlight their status, they renamed the New Continent Club the Steam Parliament, meaning they were the parliament hidden in the steam and should have the right to influence the entire country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Steam Parliament finished changing its name, Grimland University, under Xavier’s secret efforts, also completed the transcendent steam engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the support of the Queen and the Prime Minister, their transcendent steam engine was bigger, better, and more perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the members of the Steam Parliament unable to sit still; they had been diligently researching transcendent machinery for decades, only to have the Queen and Prime Minister pick the peaches. How could they endure this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to monopolize the transcendent steam engine, they began to plot an attack on Grimland University to take away the books recording transcendent knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this moment on, Xavier discovered that this group of former companions began to lose control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he was devoted to research and had a high status in the Steam Parliament, but he had no real power and could not stop the people who had fallen into madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only look for opportunities to anonymously tip off Prime Minister Luo En to strengthen the defense of Grimland University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his tip-off did not produce results, and the Steam Parliament successfully triggered the fire at the Grimland University library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people died in that fire, many of whom were stand-ins for members of the Steam Parliament, including Xavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier did not approve of the Steam Parliament’s actions, and from then on, he restarted his own research, only returning to the Steam Parliament when he needed to check information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Steam Parliament’s actions became increasingly crazy, but their madness did indeed bring about progress in research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier began to hesitate; just as he was hesitating whether to give up certain things for the sake of research progress, two people followed the traces left by the Steam Parliament and discovered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was Lei Wendun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day Lei Wendun took action, the Steam Parliament had made a breakthrough in transcendent steam engine research and was about to hold an internal academic conference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier should have been there, but he had to deal with the second person, so he was a little late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second person to discover the Steam Parliament was Prime Minister Luo En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Lei Wendun’s investigation, he learned of the existence of the Steam Parliament, and then, not knowing what method he used, he came directly to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prime Minister Luo En took out the warning information Xavier had given at the time, claiming that he was unprepared at the time and underestimated the actions of the Steam Parliament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came this time not to hold Xavier accountable, but because he had encountered a problem and wanted Xavier to help solve it, just like when they cooperated back then, and promised that as long as Xavier needed help, he could go to the old place to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Xavier, accompanied by Maseis, finished helping Prime Minister Luo En resolve his difficulties and prepared to rush to the Steam Council stronghold, he discovered that the stronghold had already been wiped out by Lei Wendun and his secret police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Steam Council members were executed; furthermore, Lei Wendun used the lists collected within the stronghold to issue warrants for all survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier and Maseis hid in their secret base for half a month, waiting for the heat to die down before attempting to flee Grimlund.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one day before their escape, Xavier chose to trust Prime Minister Luo En and arrived at the agreed-upon location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, Prime Minister Luo En revealed the purpose behind his reaching out to Xavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to build a world under absolute order, where everyone performed their own duties and everyone could survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To complete this world, he needed to develop machinery that surpassed extraordinary steam engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed Xavier's help; as long as Xavier agreed, he would use his own abilities to provide Xavier with all kinds of support, allowing them to complete their research with peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xavier did not agree, he could pretend they had never met, and could even provide him with a passage to leave Grimlund.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manufacturing machinery that surpassed extraordinary steam engines—this statement stirred Xavier’s past goals and reminded him of the mission he felt rested upon his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With almost no hesitation, he accepted Prime Minister Luo En’s proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, with the help of Prime Minister Luo En, they rebuilt the organization upon the ruins of the Steam Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was different from what Xavier had imagined: as the Prime Minister of Stilan, Luo En was not repulsed by the Steam Council’s use of human lives for experiments; instead, he urged Xavier to follow that path and intensify the efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier felt repelled by this and asked Prime Minister Luo En for the reason; Luo En did not shy away from it, speaking with a frankness that was chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ultimate steam engine he envisioned was one that used the lives of extraordinary beings as fuel to convert into power beyond the extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Steam Council used the lives of ordinary people as fuel, which could convert into the power of the source and even touch upon the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one followed this path and conducted further research, using the divinity of extraordinary beings as fuel, would it not be possible to transcend the rules and condense the power possessed only by gods?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo En stated that he understood Xavier’s repulsion and supported Xavier in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as one day you can develop an extraordinary steam engine that can condense divinity without consuming life, we can abandon this path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before then, I hope you can follow the planned schedule and fulfill my requirements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo En threw the problem back to Xavier, leaving Xavier not knowing how to refute him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the time that followed, he acted according to Luo En’s plan, secretly cooperating with members of the Ziyou Party, such as Baron Philip’s Pine Coal Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also secretly cooperated with the Church of Tranquility, using the influence of the Church of Tranquility to obtain experimental data on a larger scale and exchange it for more relevant occult knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Prime Minister Luo En, much of the occult knowledge involved in extraordinary steam engines was the \"God-Given Wisdom\" taken from the God-Given Library when the Secret Knight Order breached the headquarters of the Church of Tranquility years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xavier was repulsed by the method of using human lives for experiments, facts proved that the \"Flesh and Blood Extraordinary Steam Engine\" route indeed allowed him to make great progress in the research of extraordinary industrialization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He not only developed the power of the steam source but also discovered the method by which the power of the source influenced the rules of the plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, every time he brought up canceling the flesh-and-blood experiments, Prime Minister Luo En would express his support, but due to the lack of a viable alternative, Luo En could not accept the stagnation of the plan and could only shelve it temporarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier did not have that much insight, but Wu Chang, who was watching from the sidelines, saw it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prime Minister Luo En had been using moral blackmail, binding the fact that extraordinary steam engines required human lives for experiments to Xavier’s failure to develop a new plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led Xavier to believe that the use of human lives for experiments was because he was not working hard enough, and that it was his own problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this subtle influence, Xavier gradually accepted this narrative, even adopting the mindset that \"a long pain is worse than a short one\" and \"after darkness comes the dawn,\" self-numbing himself to intensify his research on flesh-and-blood extraordinary steam engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the coordination of Prime Minister Luo En and the cooperation of Xavier, their progress was extremely rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did the power of the Steam Council expand significantly, but to a certain extent, it could truly influence Stilan just like a council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also designed an alternative to the divinity extraordinary steam engine, which was the \"Steam World\" project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By exposing the existence of extraordinary steam engines to the public and using the First Law of Occultism, they made people accept the existence of steam rules and extraordinary steam engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in turn, they used the power of people’s belief to construct a world of absolute order with the extraordinary steam engine as its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Steam World\" already had a prototype, but who would have thought that at the most critical moment, Xavier would suddenly receive a letter from Prime Minister Luo En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the letter was a ticket to a new world and a short sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The plan is out of control, preserve the spark, come back in two months!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Xavier saw the news of Prime Minister Luo En’s assassination through the newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3259,"2026-06-20T04:32:05.714Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
