    Chapter 195

    Su Hao enjoyed the meal thoroughly.

    It had been a long time since he had experienced such simple physical satisfaction.

    As he finished eating, he found himself becoming increasingly pleased with Yashan.

    If it were possible...

    He would have liked Yashan to remain by his side forever.

    But...

    How could that ever happen?

    When this life eventually ended, he would once again begin wandering endlessly through the countless worlds.

    Yashan, meanwhile, would eventually disappear with the passage of time.

    Thinking of this...

    An unfamiliar feeling of loneliness quietly surfaced within Su Hao's heart.


    ---

    The pursuit of knowledge was, by nature, a lonely path.

    When one made a breakthrough...

    There was no one with whom to share the joy.

    When one encountered failure...

    There was no one to confide in.

    Although Su Hao had long since grown accustomed to such solitude...

    He still felt a trace of regret.

    Wouldn't it be better...

    If there were trustworthy companions walking beside him?

    People like his father from his previous life...

    Wu Yuntian...

    Or someone like Yashan in this life, who tirelessly supported him without complaint.

    As this thought crossed his mind...

    Su Hao suddenly fell into deep contemplation.

    "...Perhaps..."

    "...it's possible?"

    Soon afterward...

    He shook his head with a smile.

    He was still far from reaching that point.

    His understanding of Marble Space remained far too shallow.


    ---

    Over the years...

    His greatest priority had always been survival after each reincarnation.

    He had constantly pursued greater strength and broader knowledge...

    Yet had almost forgotten the true foundation of everything—

    Marble Space itself.

    The research notes he had recorded back when he was Zhao Hui still lay quietly within Marble Space.

    He couldn't even remember how many years had passed since he last seriously studied them.

    Back then...

    Research itself had been a source of pure joy.

    Learning.

    Solving problems.

    Exploring the unknown.

    Life had been wonderfully simple.

    Unfortunately...

    Before he could enjoy those things again...

    He first needed sufficient strength to survive.

    Without that strength...

    Someone like the Fiend could have killed him long ago.

    Then everything would have started over from the beginning.

    He would have had no time to study anything.

    Now that the Fiend had been eliminated...

    Time was finally on his side.

    Whether it was continuing his genetic research...

    Or uncovering new functions of Marble Space...

    Su Hao believed meaningful progress awaited him.


    ---

    He leaned back comfortably in his reclining chair, quietly organizing his plans for the future.

    Nearby...

    Yashan had copied him exactly.

    He also created a reclining chair and lay beside him, gazing up at the sky.

    After a long silence...

    Su Hao suddenly asked,

    "Yashan."

    "Are you sure Huiyang City will be fine while you're away?"

    Yashan nodded without hesitation.

    "Of course."

    "I haven't really been managing things these past few years."

    "Taini has been handling everything."

    "Soul Eater Norin and Heavenly Lord Meng Chuan have been helping her as well."

    "They've done an excellent job."

    He scratched his head with a laugh.

    "Honestly, Boss Wei..."

    "I've finally realized that I don't have much talent for management."

    "I'm still the same old Yashan."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "The fact that you understand your own strengths and weaknesses..."

    "Already puts you ahead of many people."

    Yashan laughed.

    "Exactly!"

    "My job now is simply to provide direction."

    "To become a symbol everyone believes in."

    "As for the actual work..."

    "They handle everything themselves."

    Su Hao nodded approvingly.

    "Not bad."

    "You've already grasped the essence of management."

    "It's much more complicated than you make it sound."

    Yashan laughed sheepishly.

    "Actually..."

    "My idea has always been very simple."

    "If someone listens to me..."

    "I'll treat them well."

    "If someone doesn't..."

    "I'll beat them until they do."

    "Then I'll treat them well anyway."

    "I didn't expect it to work so well."

    Su Hao laughed.

    "Exactly."

    "Simplicity..."

    "...is the ultimate sophistication."


    ---

    Yashan continued,

    "When Taini hadn't evolved yet..."

    "I was always worried about leaving everything to her."

    "I followed her around constantly."

    "But now..."

    "I've helped her become an Earth Lord."

    "I've even taught her how to fly."

    "I finally feel at ease."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Speaking of that..."

    "Is Taini the youngest Earth Lord in existence?"

    Yashan scratched his head awkwardly.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "After some more time..."

    "I'd like to help her advance to the Lifebearer stage."

    "Once she has enough strength to protect herself..."

    "She can return here and help you with everyday matters."

    "As for all those complicated affairs in the Temple Forest Association..."

    "I'm honestly not interested."

    "I'd much rather stay by your side."

    "If possible..."

    "I wouldn't even go back to Huiyang City."

    Su Hao glanced at him.

    "That's your choice."

    "The greatest freedom people possess..."

    "...is the freedom to choose the life they want."

    "As long as you're prepared to accept the consequences..."

    "Any choice is acceptable."

    Yashan immediately brightened.

    "Then I've decided!"

    "I'll return to Huiyang City twice every month for inspections."

    "The rest of the time..."

    "I'll stay here in Temple Forest City."


    ---

    Su Hao asked,

    "By the way..."

    "How are things progressing over there?"

    The moment Huiyang City was mentioned...

    Yashan burst into laughter.

    "The Four Kings Gang has completely transformed."

    "They're now the Temple Forest Association's Public Safety Division."

    "They've officially announced their complete integration into the Association."

    "They're some of our strongest supporters now."

    "Nobody even mentions returning to Linyuan City anymore."

    Su Hao nodded before calmly saying,

    "Yashan."

    "Don't be fooled by appearances."

    "Gaili is a Prophet."

    "He's exceptionally intelligent."

    "And he has his own principles."

    "He isn't someone who can be controlled forever through simple ideals."

    "Even if he accepts them today..."

    "He'll eventually analyze everything himself."

    "Right now..."

    "He supports the Temple Forest Association because, according to his current understanding..."

    "It's the best path available."

    "But if one day..."

    "He discovers a better path..."

    "He won't hesitate to abandon the Temple Forest Association."

    "He may even replace it entirely."

    "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

    Yashan froze.

    "Then..."

    "What should I do?"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Haven't you already answered that yourself?"

    "Maintain overwhelming strength."

    "If they refuse to obey..."

    "Beat them until they do."

    "If that still isn't enough..."

    "Remove them."

    Yashan's eyes immediately lit up.

    "I understand, Boss Wei!"

    Su Hao continued,

    "The Temple Forest Association is still in its infancy."

    "The current world isn't mature enough for every disagreement to be resolved peacefully."

    "You must remember one thing."

    "You are the faith of the Temple Forest Association."

    "If you make a mistake..."

    "The entire Association will follow you into that mistake."

    "So..."

    "Once you've chosen a direction..."

    "Move forward with everything you have."

    "Use the blade in your hand to cut through every obstacle."

    "Only after reaching the end..."

    "Will you know whether your path was right or wrong."

    "It's like someone telling you food tastes bad."

    "You'll never truly know..."

    "Until you taste it yourself."

    "And if you do make a mistake?"

    "So what?"

    "Correct it."

    Then he added calmly,

    "But all of this..."

    "Depends upon one prerequisite."

    "You must possess absolute strength."

    "Strength great enough to crush every obstacle."


    ---

    Yashan silently absorbed every word.

    Because they came from Boss Wei...

    He accepted them without reservation.

    After a long silence...

    He nodded solemnly.

    "Boss Wei."

    "I understand."

    "You can rest assured."

    "The Temple Forest Association will never lose its way."

    "And even if it does..."

    "I'll pull it back..."

    "One step at a time."

    Then, as though suddenly remembering something, Yashan smiled brightly.

    "Oh, Boss Wei!"

    "I've already had a temple built in the central square of Huiyang City."

    "There's a statue of you inside."

    "After a unanimous vote by the Temple Forest Association..."

    "We decided to call it..."

    'The Genesis God.'

    Su Hao nearly choked.

    "Cough!"

    "Cough, cough!"

    I think building an idol is not a bad idea who knows it became an anchor so that when he died he can pin point it in the pinball space he reincarnate there too if he want. He can aslo built an cosmo map from it.
