Chapter 2736: Chapter 1177: Humans’ Harmony Ability (Part 3)

Faith in people and faith in True Gods are not conflicting.

As for beliefs, we don’t need to impose on the people. We can completely embrace this attitude of religious freedom, placing all beliefs before them, allowing them to choose freely.

However, this freedom is relative and limited to those benevolent beliefs favorable to our rule. The cults of the Evil Deity are not included in this range." Gaven always maintained a tolerant attitude towards this issue.

"As long as your thoughts haven’t changed." Zalanda visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why? Were you worried that after becoming the God of the Road, I’d exclusively follow the Path?" Gaven asked with a smile.

"Indeed, a little." Zalanda honestly admitted.

"Are my visions so short-sighted?" Gaven put on a pitiable expression.

"Sorry..." Zalanda felt a bit embarrassed.

"I’m the one who should apologize. I’ve communicated too little with you on this aspect." Gaven proactively revealed his future development plans to Zalanda, "Everything should be viewed with a developmental perspective, including being a Deity.

In the process of national construction and development, my faith will naturally expand. The Path is just a beginning; in the future, it might expand towards infrastructure and development.

Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the issues regarding the development of my faith. You just need to manage your domain well; that’s the best support for me.

Moreover, as people gradually become enlightened, their autonomy will increase, and faith will be the same."

"In this way, won’t your Divine Position be closely linked with the rise and fall of the nation? Won’t it be affected because of this?" Zalanda expressed an uncontainable concern amidst the excitement.

"At that time, what I represent is not just the rise and fall of a single nation." Gaven remained very calm, "When this nation declines, another nation will inevitably rise, whether it’s infrastructure, roads, or development; they are inevitable processes.

We are still in the process of casting the Divine Foundation, of course, it’s extremely closely linked.

Your territorial development is no longer just your own matter; it relates to the expansion of my future Divine Position."

"Understood." Zalanda completely understood the stakes involved, "Please continue, what’s the second point?"

"The second point is to start with an independent supervisory agency to supervise and inspect local Lords, preventing power from going unchecked." Gaven suggested, "This is something most countries lack and is a major reason for the downfall of Thacel Kingdom to its current state."

"I’ve already started working on this matter. I’ve granted those Strategy Priests supervisory duties."

"Strategy Priests?" Gaven shook his head in denial, "We can’t use them again; their power within our domain is already substantial enough. They’re involved in civil construction, they command the military.

Giving them supervisory duties will ultimately lead them to dominate, turning them into a new privileged class.

The most suitable for this role are the Paladins of the Lord of Justice.

The previous combination of military and political power was completely out of necessity.

For long-term stability, the Strategy Priests need to be gradually removed from civil construction, allowing them to focus solely on the military.

Finances and military power must be separated; otherwise, it’s easy to foster a new warlord within us."

"Will it feel like demolishing the bridge after crossing the river? Will Lady Strategy agree?" Zalanda had his concerns.

"I’ll personally explain to Lady Strategy." Gaven replied with a smile, "You should be one of the people who understand the Lady best; you should know her nature. This reason is very easy to communicate.

Don’t underestimate the foresight of True Gods; compared to momentary gains and losses, they focus more on future development."

"As long as Lady Strategy agrees, it will be easy to handle." Zalanda reminded, "If there’s an opportunity, you should visit the Outer Realm, take a look at the Lady’s God Kingdom—she’s sealed the God Kingdom for too long, and people’s hearts are starting to waver."

"I’ll make a note of it; I’ll visit personally when I have time." Gaven readily agreed.

In this matter, he truly holds a unique advantage that others do not.

If the Souls of Slaughter in Lady Strategy’s Gunboard Chess Bastion haven’t been fully digested, he can directly let the Slaughter Left Hand extract them.

He believes the Slaughter Left Hand would be very willing to do such a thing.

For Lady Strategy, it is poison.

For the Slaughter Left Hand, it is a source of Strength.

"Remember to pay attention to Shawnde Selowen and Zanarola Silverzera, the former is Shoon VII’s Releaser, while the latter is one occupied by his Soul." Gaven steered the topic back to Shoon VII.

This was the last piece of information he had left.

The rest would rely on efforts in this lifetime.

"Zanarola Silverzera?" Zalanda inadvertently repeated the name.

"Why? Have you heard of her?" This time it was Gaven’s turn to be surprised.

"I haven’t heard of this name, but I know of this family." Zalanda detailed, "Silverzera is a prominent family in Amu, always controlling Amu’s shipbuilding industry, possessing the strongest fleet in Amu.

It’s said to be the largest benefactor of Calder and his Golden Legion, naturally becoming the biggest beneficiary of the New Continent exploration. Their family head, Namar, is likely one of the members of the Six-Person Council!"

"What a calculation, Shoon VII is clever." Gaven suddenly realized, "It turns out that occupying Zanarola Silverzera was not a random act but a carefully planned move.

If my guess is correct, Zanarola must be Namar’s daughter, Namar was one of the three Masked Members assassinated. After his death, his daughter took control of her family, even taking on the Masked Member identity as a matter of course.

From beginning to end, she will appear as a victim, greatly reducing Sharptooth’s chance of suspecting her.

The other two Masked Members were likely assassinated for this very move—to thoroughly muddy the waters and blame others, thereby reducing her degree of suspicion."

This belonged to his reasonable speculation based on intelligence in hand, not derived from the discrepancy of past life information.

After all, some of the information was constrained by the source, with many secret details yet to be unearthed—Shoon VII’s whereabouts were always quite mysterious.
