Every person's opportunity is limited. It is best to seize opportunities when they arise, and one must bear the corresponding consequences if they do not.
This is the rule of the game, and it is also a message I wish to convey.
According to my current plan, I intend to have all these mercenaries cultivate. However, I also fear that they may not be able to persevere.
Furthermore, I do not wish for these individuals to exceed my control. If possible, I hope they will all be my people.
If I cannot control them, they might turn against me later.
Or perhaps, they will leak my secrets!
If the secret of the Shepherd God's Power is leaked, I will have fewer trump cards against the assassins from Vishi.
This is a situation I absolutely do not want to see.
Therefore, I would rather let them be disappointed for a while, or even feel some dissatisfaction towards me, than compromise so easily.
What I need is for them to be loyal to me and not stab me in the back.
At the same time, I also need them to have enough patience and perseverance to undertake this endeavor!
Cultivation is not a joke. While it can indeed grant immense power, it also comes with a heavy price.
For instance, the cultivation process can be incredibly tedious, and one must endure pain when accepting power.
This is not something ordinary people can withstand, so I need their resolve to be sufficiently strong.
On one hand, I do not wish to waste my time. On the other hand, to improve their efficiency, I will also utilize certain resources.
Spirit Stones, Water of Life...
These resources are extremely limited; each use diminishes them further!
If they were to give up halfway, it would not be good news for me.
Seeing my expression, Chen Ran and Bai Ran smiled helplessly and nodded, "Brother Lu, we understand! This was indeed our mistake. We will cherish the next opportunity when it comes!"
I nodded without saying more and turned back to my room.
Luo Yaqin had gone out. It was likely that she was going to help someone else. As a doctor, there were many places where her skills were needed here.
I sat in my room, closed my eyes, and entered a state of cultivation.
The moment I closed my eyes and began circulating the Shepherd God Art, I suddenly felt that something was amiss.
I abruptly realized that the Shepherd God's Power around me seemed to be losing control.
I frowned slightly and then used all my strength to control this power.
However, the Shepherd God's Power on my body actually diffused outwards, forming a giant protective shield that enveloped me.
It looked like an egg.
The instant this power enveloped me, I suddenly felt that the world around me had changed.
The surrounding world seemed to plunge into darkness, and everything in this place turned into nothingness.
I had no sense of time, nor any senses. My sense of smell, hearing, and taste all became useless at this moment.
It was completely dark all around, like being at the edge of the universe.
This feeling had not appeared in a long time. Then, in the distance, a ray of light appeared in the sky.
I desperately ran towards it. At this moment, I felt no power within my body, including the Shepherd God's Power.
Yet, for some reason, under these circumstances, I did not feel any fear at all.
I even felt a slight sense of peace.
I ran forward desperately, not knowing how long I had been running. The point of light in my eyes slowly grew larger.
At a certain moment, I reached the front of the light and stepped forward.
The light instantly enveloped me, and in that instant, my vision turned snow white.
I could not see anything around me.
When I could see clearly again, I suddenly found myself in a new place.
This appeared to be a valley. In the distance, I could see a waterfall cascading down from the sky, falling into the stream below and splashing into droplets of water.
The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance. Tall trees were everywhere, and the grass was lush and green. Occasionally, colorful small flowers could be seen, exuding an indescribable beauty.
I knew clearly that I had never been to such a place, and I felt that this place was unlikely to be on that island.
Could it be that I had transmigrated to another place?
I was somewhat bewildered.
Just then, a sigh came from afar: "Alas..."
Hearing this sound, I frowned. Could there be someone else here?
I followed the source of the sound. It seemed to be coming from the direction of the waterfall. The sound of the waterfall impacting was loud, but it did not drown out that sigh at all.
