Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

"This is no longer the old world. For the survival of the Lighthouse, this matter is insignificant. Whoever can lead the Lighthouse into the future will be the next city lord."

Jingnan probed again, "Do you have other candidates in mind?"

Morgan looked at Jingnan, nodded, and said, "What do you think of... Mark?"

"mark!"

Upon hearing the name, Jingnan was initially shocked, but then gradually came to understand.

Mark is very capable. He became the commander of the hunters at a young age, and under his command, the hunters almost always returned with a full load.

Mark's strength and prestige are comparable to Charles's.

However, Charles's followers were all members of the Light and Shadow Society, and to put it bluntly, most of them were good-for-nothings.

Mark's followers are all warriors who can go down to the ground and fight against the Devouring Beasts.

Charles’s prestige was built on the authority of law firms and priests.

Mark's reputation stemmed from every piece of supplies the hunters brought to the Lighthouse.

If Jingnan were to choose, he would also choose Mark.

Jingnan had a big question on her mind. She asked Morgan, "If you choose Mark to succeed as lord of the city, what will happen to Charles?"

Morgan seemed to have thought of this beforehand, and he calmly said, "Mark can tolerate Charles."

Morgan answered a question that Jingnan had never even considered.

Mark can tolerate Charles; in other words, Charles cannot tolerate Mark.

Everyone saw these things.

The reason Charles targets Mark in every way is because he fears Mark will steal his position as heir apparent.

"No! I mean, will Charles be content with this?"

"I'm not willing to accept it, but there's nothing I can do! I gave him a chance!"

Jingnan didn't understand what "there's no way" meant.

If Morgan really wanted Charles to be the city lord, he would have just announced it directly.

Mark certainly wouldn't have any objections.

Morgan looked at Jingnan and asked a question: "Jingnan, do you think I did the right thing?"

Jingnan was taken aback, unsure how to respond. How could she possibly comment on Morgan's rights and wrongs!

"I just don't understand."

Morgan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "If Charles succeeds as city lord, he won't tolerate someone like Mark, whose strength and prestige surpass his own. This is a major taboo for any ruler! Power is not a toy, nor is it static! To consolidate his power, his best option is to eliminate Mark!"

From a moral standpoint, Jingnan cannot accept this scenario, which is Morgan's assumption.

After all, Mark is the commander of the Hunters, with great achievements, high prestige, and strong abilities. To eliminate him simply because he threatens one's position would be putting the cart before the horse!

Logically, eliminating all threats is the only option for those who pursue power.

Jingnan mustered his courage and asked, "Lord City Lord, if I may be so bold, what's wrong with sacrificing a Mark if you truly wish to pass the throne to Charles?"

Morgan's expression didn't change much. He called Jingnan over to discuss things, and naturally, he also intended to let Jingnan know some things.

"Mark cannot die! He is our hope for solving the ecological problem and reclaiming the land!"

Jingnan was so startled that his hand trembled, and all the chess pieces fell to the ground.

Mark cannot die!

Is Mark really that important? Just because he's personally capable?

Jingnan had a lot of questions on her mind, but she couldn't just ask Morgan directly.

She was very tactful; if Morgan was willing to talk, she would listen, and if Morgan didn't want to talk, she wouldn't ask.

At this point in the conversation, the matter has been resolved.

Since Mark cannot die, the only option is to make him the city lord.

As the city lord, he will not make things difficult for Charles. Charles can still be the head of the Light and Shadow Society and remain a high-ranking member of the Beacon.

But then the same question remains: will Charles be content with this?

Jingnan knew that Charles wouldn't be satisfied, but that wasn't something she could control.

Since Morgan had summoned him, he must have wanted to hear her opinion.

However, Jingnan cannot say things like "choose Charles" or "choose Mark".

All she could say was, "Lord of the City, whoever is chosen as the Lord of the City must be able to lead the Lighthouse forward! Lead us to defeat the ecology and reclaim the land! For the great goal of the survival of mankind, any sacrifice is worthwhile."

Morgan looked at Jingnan, a hint of relief in his eyes.

All he wanted was that sentence.

Everything Morgan did was for the great goal of human survival.

This is a moment that will be recorded in history!

After talking with Morgan, Jingnan's mind was still blank.

Mark wants to be the city lord!

This spot actually belongs to him!

However, in the end, Morgan never explicitly stated how he would deal with Charles.

My younger brother is no pushover!

He would absolutely not agree to Mark succeeding as the city lord!

Who knows what kind of bloodshed will unfold at the lighthouse next?

……

Inside the Church of Light and Shadow, Charles stood alone in front of the Wall of All Beings.

Fanlu came up from behind and said to Charles, "Chief, our informant reports that Jingnan went to see the city lord again today, and he went to the city lord's residence."

Charles, of course, had no idea what Morgan and Jingnan had discussed. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly send an informant into Morgan's study to eavesdrop. He could only monitor Jingnan's movements.

"What exactly is this woman up to? Yesterday, she secretly went back to see Morgan without telling me. And she did it again today!"

"Our covert manipulation of intelligence gathering...it must have been her who complained to the city lord," Fan Lu stated his speculation. "This morning, all the people in the flight control room were reassigned! Now the entire flight control room is full of Jing Nan's people!"

"Hmph!" Charles said angrily. "What exactly is she trying to do!"

Although Jingnan is Charles's nominal sister, she chose to help Mark instead of Charles.

At this moment, Charles had already decided to remove Jingnan from the core power circle.

"Notify Melissa to continuously arrange for Jingnan to enter the Dawn Hall. Get her pregnant as quickly as possible!" Charles's plan was that once Jingnan was pregnant, she would be sent to rest and recuperate, which would free up power in the flight control room.

By the time Jingnan returned after giving birth, everything had changed.

"And what about the man? Who will be arranged? Will it all be Jingyuan?"

"Since he wants Jingnan, let's arrange it for him!"

“But…” Fan Lu hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"what happened?"

Fan Lu said, "We arranged for Penny and Jing Yuan to go to the Dawn Hall three times, but Penny still didn't get pregnant! I'm worried that Jing Yuan might not be able to get Jing Nan pregnant."

Charles hesitated for a moment, then said, "Try Jingyuan a few times first, and if that doesn't work, try someone else!"

"Replace who?"

"Anyone will do, preferably someone with a high success rate!"

"Yes!"

Jingnan was naturally unaware of Charles's series of arrangements and plans.

Later that evening, Jingnan bathed and changed clothes before heading to the Hall of Dawn.

Even at this moment, she still believed that it was because she had reached the age where she would have children soon that it was too late to arrange the breeding task in the Dawn Hall.

The Hall of Dawn, sacred and solemn!

The golden lights further emphasized the unquestionable authority.

Inside the Hall of Dawn, under the watchful eyes of two priests, Jingnan removed all his clothes and put on a gray robe.

As one of the high-ranking members of the Lighthouse, Jingnan could not allow men to watch her even when she was carrying out breeding missions, so all the priests around her were women.

This also prevented Jingnan from feeling too bad.

Accompanied by the priest, Jingnan walked into the Golden Hall.

At this moment, the male gentry on the opposite side also entered through another door.

Jingnan looked at the man in front of her. He was tall, muscular, and had a sculpted physique!
