The next day, Yinsha once again returned to the World Tree's space of consciousness.
"It's just the two of you today?"
Josiah was holding a paintbrush as he hovered above the town Yinsha had built yesterday. Josiah had spent the whole morning streamlining the buildings Yinsha had built yesterday.
There were only two Sublimators visiting the space of consciousness today: Matriarch Yinsha and Matriarch Jin Ze … Josiah stared at the door behind Yinsha, but until Yinsha closed the door, he did not see any other Sublimators.
"Let me guess … Your other clansmen refused to come because 'we don't even have enough energy, so why waste it on outsiders'?"
Josiah landed in front of the two Sublimators and imitated someone's tone to guess the reason why there were only two of them today.
When Yinsha heard Josiah's words, the solemn expression on her face was replaced by astonishment.
"Watcher, how … did you know?"
Jin Ze, who was the Matriarch, appeared a little tired as if he had not rested for the whole day.
"Because your clansmen said it themselves." Josiah hovered in the air and made a locking gesture with his index finger and thumb. "My little gift to you isn't as simple as opening the door."
"You're spying on us?" Yinsha instantly understood the meaning of Josiah's words.
"My informants will only appear in your so-called public areas."
Josiah landed on the ground again. After asking Bai Yue about the energy crisis of the Sublimators yesterday, Josiah had been monitoring the situation in the Sanctum.
In the end, after Yinsha and Jin Ze returned to the Sanctum, the majority of the Sublimators who followed Yinsha chose to give up, while the others publicly accused Yinsha of 'wasting energy'.
The society of the Sublimators was more equal than Josiah had imagined … and this was the disadvantage of equality, which was that the speed of mobilizing manpower in times of war was too slow.
"We didn't expect that fulfilling your request … would require so much energy." Jin Ze's voice was apologetic. "Every brick and material of these buildings is equivalent to using our lives to build them."
Over the past few days, Josiah had roughly understood the personalities of these two Sublimators. Jin Ze was a moderate ruler. He was used to a comfortable life, just like most Sublimators. He only hoped to be content with the status quo.
Therefore, Jin Ze wanted to tell Josiah that they wanted to give up.
"I didn't say that I would use your lives to build a house. Do I look like that kind of black-hearted employer?"
Josiah thought he sounded sincere, but when both Yinsha and Jin Ze heard Josiah's question, their expressions seemed to say 'Isn't that the case?'
"When I first met you, I already said that I will provide all the energy needed for the modeling," Josiah repeated the proposal that they couldn't refuse.
"Ordinary magic power can't become our food," Roland said.
Yinsha certainly remembered Josiah's promise back then, but she didn't believe that Josiah could do it.
"I heard Bai Yue explain that the purer the emotion, the purer the energy, right?" Josiah asked.
"That's right, but … the only way I can think of …" Yinsha paused for a moment before giving Josiah a suggestion. "Is to lock a group of human prisoners in a dungeon and torture them."
"About that … Let's demonstrate it, Bai Yue!"
Josiah shouted at the building behind him, and the blue-haired Sublimator poked her head out from one of the houses.
"Is your body alright, Mistress?"
She appeared to have just woken up, but immediately ran to Yinsha when she saw her.
"I'm fine, Bai Yue. Is your body still at the place where the mission was carried out?" Yinsha suddenly remembered that she still had a Sublimator who was lost outside.
"Her body is at the place where I asked you to absorb energy. You Sublimators should be able to exchange bodies, right?"
Josiah pointed at Yinsha and Bai Yue. Yinsha and Bai Yue looked at each other, and before Bai Yue could speak … Yinsha's fingers dug into her arm.
"I hope you won't let me down." Yinsha said.
… … …
Yinsha opened her eyes, and above her was an unfamiliar ceiling.
She hadn't moved around in her body for almost a hundred years. After Yinsha's consciousness entered this body, she first regained her sight, then taste and touch.
Finally, Yinsha slowly felt the existence of this body's hearing.
"You're awake?"
Yinsha heard an unfamiliar voice, and when she turned her head, she saw Josiah sitting by the bed.
She controlled this body to get up from the bed, and just when she tried to grab the edge of the bed, her arms lost their strength, and she fell onto the bed in a very awkward position.
"Watcher, you … removed the magic in this body?"
Yinsha found that this body was terrifyingly weak, like a dying patient with a terminal illness.
This body was designed to have a physique three times that of a human's.
The only possibility that Yinsha could think of was that Josiah used the watcher's ability to remove the inscription in this body.
"The amusement park hasn't officially opened today, but I've invited all the High Elves to experience it. There are about three thousand people, are you sure … you want to activate the inscription in this body?"
In order to eliminate the High Elves' rejection of the Amusement Park, Josiah let all the High Elves on Assequero come to the Forgotten Land to play.
So far, they all seemed to be having a good time.
"We're not that weak." Yinsha said coldly to Josiah. She didn't like this feeling of weakness.
The gray magic dissipated in Josiah's hand, and Yinsha instantly felt a powerful force begin to gather in her body.
The inscription on the surface of this body also emitted light.
Yinsha tried to stand up from the bed in the same way again, but this time because she used too much force, the wooden edge of the bed was completely crushed.
This feeling of being filled with power was very wonderful. Yinsha's feet carefully stepped on the ground, and she supported her body from the bed to stand up.
"Hey …"
There were inscriptions left by the Dark Elves on the back of Josiah's hand, so he could see the emotional inscriptions around Yinsha.
After she gained control of this body, she began to absorb the surrounding energy frantically, and Josiah could only see a large number of colorful emotional imprints pouring into her body.
