Unable to escape, and too afraid to fight, Lofvis ultimately had no choice but to compromise with Wen Wen.
Otherwise, he might end up like Yan Zu, locked in a cell, serving as a pillar.
Although he didn't know what the so-called pillar was, it didn't stop him from being filled with fear about it.
So, trembling with fear, Lofvis, under Wen Wen's coercion, signed several unequal treaties, becoming one of Wen Wen's henchmen.
The most crucial clause in the treaty was that Lofvis had to fight for Wen Wen whenever Wen Wen needed him.
Unless it was a suicide mission, Lofvis could not refuse.
Additionally, Lofvis had to reside in the time silhouette of Xia Mansion's Land, unable to enter the real world unless Wen Wen required it.
Even within Xia Mansion's Land, Lofvis couldn't move freely and could only move within a limited range.
Within this range, he could preach but was not allowed to play with ordinary people's lives and dignity.
Of course, aside from these restrictions, Lofvis did have a small bit of rights, as Wen Wen was generous to his henchmen; for example, Lofvis received a daily supply of a crate of vodka...
When Lofvis tearfully returned to the time silhouette, Wen Wen gained a Catastrophe-Level henchman.
This intimidation was meticulously designed by Wen Wen and Mo Gong to exert maximal pressure on Lofvis, leading to his easy submission.
However, even if Lofvis hadn't submitted, both Wen Wen and Mo Gong were more than capable of subduing Lofvis within the Sanctuary, albeit with some effort.
When Lofvis accepted Wen Wen's invitation and was summoned by the Rune Array, his fate was already sealed.
With Lofvis on board, Wen Wen felt much more confident.
Additionally, letting Lofvis stay long-term in Xia Mansion's Land had another benefit, which was maintaining its stability.
After capturing the Righteous True Immortal, Xia Mansion's Land began to diminish continuously, though the reduction wasn't significant, it was persistent, and over time, it would eventually shrink to the size of a regular time silhouette.
Even relocating the Monster Factory to Xia Mansion's Land only delayed the pace of shrinking.
Since, under Yuriano's judgment, creatures below Catastrophe-Level did not require such a large space for activity, Lofvis's presence effectively resolved this problem.
Wen Wen allocated a territory for Lofvis, neither too big nor too small, located slightly west of the Da Song Dynasty.
There was forest, grassland, city, and riverland; whatever environment Lofvis desired, he could find a suitable spot there.
Meanwhile, Lofvis also brought Wen Wen intelligence regarding the rift beyond the real world.
The rift resembled an independent space where those inside can't enter the real world or move far from it.
The number of Catastrophe-Level creatures surviving within the rift was unimaginable.
All Catastrophe-Level monsters expelled throughout history roamed there; these experts were immune to the ravages of time, able to exist forever within the rift.
The enormous numbers even made Wen Wen's scalp tingle.
These Catastrophe-Level experts harbored intense hatred for the real world. If they manage to break through the barrier into the real world, they'd certainly slaughter life indiscriminately.
By that time, even if all the Federation's experts united, they couldn't stop the world's collapse.
This made Wen Wen realize even more the importance of Hunter Island; if anything happens to Hunter Island, the world is doomed.
As long as Hunter Island remains, those monsters cannot enter the real world.
By the time the barrier disappears, the Inner World will have completed its erosion of the real world.
By then, those monsters won't be confined to a small rift and can leave on their own accord, while the real world is safeguarded by the rules of the Primordial Land, no longer posing a threat.
After leaving the Sanctuary, Wen Wen received some surprising news.
The Guide Blasphemous Bai Du sent a messenger, the Death Knight who once battled Jin Kela, saying he wished to meet Wen Wen for discussion.
Bai Du was considered an enemy of Wen Wen; he sent an envoy at this moment for reasons unknown.
Curious, Wen Wen directly arrived at the SRS Foundation's headquarters in Qianhe City through the Sanctuary.
Death Knight Andulusa sat in a reception hall of the Foundation, and the staff served him refreshments, but he did not touch them, merely observing everything around with a sense of awe.
Just over a year ago, the Sanctuary showed only faint signs of revival, yet now it had grown to such a scale. It's conceivable where it would be in just a few more years.
Andulusa finally understood why the Guide suddenly changed his stance toward the Sanctuary; it was no longer something they could shake.
A shadowy figure appeared before Andulusa, and Wen Wen stared at him with deadfish eyes.
"You said you had something to tell me; you can speak now."
Death Knight was momentarily stunned upon seeing Wen Wen; the last time he saw Wen Wen, he was a mere insignificant ant, now grown to such an unfathomable extent.
He stood up solemnly and looked at Wen Wen: "I come on behalf of the Guide to present you with a gift." The source of thɪs content is novel⚑fire.net
A burst of black mist emanated from Death Knight's hand, revealing a tightly bound figure before Wen Wen, the very envoy sent by the Truth Society to negotiate with Bai Du.
"The Truth Society aims to establish a Secret Organizations Alliance; this person is a lobbyist and should know some things."
Wen Wen's eyes lit up. Although he already knew about the Secret Organizations Alliance, this individual was still valuable to Wen Wen.
What intrigued Wen Wen more was why Bai Du sent this person to him.
"Additionally, the Guide has a piece of advice; this person once hinted at helping the Guide against the Sanctuary, meaning you might be a target of the Secret Organizations Alliance, so don't be careless."
Wen Wen raised an eyebrow: "Oh, have your brains been trampled by an elephant? If you weren't once hunted by you, I might suspect you're the good guys."
Death Knight shook his head and said: "I am merely conveying the Guide's will; other matters are unrelated to me, but please do not insult the Guide in my presence."
Wen Wen shrugged; given that this time the other party seemed well-intentioned, he didn't continue to mock.
"Lastly, the Guide has one more message, which I will pass on."
"Though he is no longer a part of the Sanctuary, he doesn't wish for the Sanctuary to be defeated by those trash either."
After saying that, the Death Knight whistled, walked to the window, and jumped out, with a black two-footed dragon carrying him into the sky until he disappeared from sight.
Wen Wen did not stop him but sinisterly looked at the envoy: "So, how should I deal with you."
