If Mark believes what Jingyuan says, then everything is over.
Morgan looked at Mark and said, "The reason those people on the ground have superpowers is because they compromised with the Mana ecosystem and became part of it, which is why they have superpowers!"
Morgan then looked at Jingyuan, "So... integrating into the ecosystem is your so-called solution to the ecosystem problem? Are you even human?"
Morgan's words were indeed something Jingyuan hadn't expected.
He knew that Bai Yuekui and the people of Longgu Village gained their abilities by stimulating their source potential.
But when asked what the essence of unleashing potential is, Jingyuan couldn't explain it either.
Moreover, Jingyuan's cheat ability is to absorb the life essence of the Devouring Beast to enhance his mental power.
The Devouring Beasts are part of the ecosystem.
If something is absorbed from the ecosystem, will it eventually truly become integrated into it?
Morgan's viewpoint does indeed have its merits.
Mark looked at Jingyuan and asked, "Is that so?"
"I don't know either," Jing Yuan said honestly. "I think we need to find those people on the ground to understand the situation before making a conclusion!"
"Hmph!" Morgan sneered. "Mark, if you insist on going your own way, I can't stop you. But please don't gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Lighthouse."
Jingyuan looked at Morgan with a strange gaze; the old man now seemed to be a benevolent father to his people.
Jingyuan said, "The people on the ground have a skill that allows them to conceal the scent of their life essence, which is their key to survival on the ground. If we can also learn this skill, even without cooperating with the people on the ground, it will be much easier for us to collect resources in the future."
“Then you have to be like them and compromise with the ecosystem!” Morgan still disagreed.
“I don’t think so.” Jingyuan looked at Morgan. “Lord Morgan, you have a prejudice against the people on the ground. We came to you to ask you for some information about the ground. The lighthouse has been floating in the sky for decades, and the ordinary people know nothing about the ground. As the city lord, you can’t possibly know nothing. Now that things have come to this, I don’t think you need to hide this information.”
"What else do you want to know? Haven't you already found out everything by testing me?" Morgan knew that Jingyuan had been trying to provoke him and probe for this information.
After things calmed down, Morgan also realized this.
It is impossible for a person to completely control their emotions.
When it comes to painful topics, they get so angry they jump up and down.
"Lord City Lord, I know you are not yet ready to fully hand over the Lighthouse to me..."
Jingyuan suddenly looked at Mark, wondering what he was up to!
"However, given how things have developed, I can only act as the city lord. We'll discuss this with you again once we've thoroughly investigated the situation."
After Mark finished speaking, he looked at Jingnan and said, "Take the city lord back to his residence and take good care of him!"
"I will."
Then, Jingyuan gave Xuefeng and Kunjie a look, and the two nodded in understanding.
From today onwards, Morgan will have to live in his luxurious residence.
……
After the coup in the early morning, the surviving lawyers who participated in the coup were all imprisoned.
However, the Light and Shadow Society has many members, and many of them are supporters of Charles.
But with so many people, it's impossible to detain them all, and keeping them outside risks them causing trouble.
Mark then convened an emergency council to discuss how to manage the lighthouse going forward.
In the central command hall, Mark's trusted hunters gathered.
In addition, there are several department heads.
Currently, Victor, the commander of the city's defense forces, is being held captive by Charles. Jingyuan sent someone to replace Charles's men and continue the captivity.
Charles, Sengge, and others were imprisoned.
Of the remaining supervisors, the supplies supervisor, Ewan, was also one of Charles's men.
However, now that Charles's coup attempt has failed, he has wisely begun to fawn over Mark.
Mark stood below the platform. Although he was now the city lord, he did not want to stand in that high and mighty position.
He chose to stand with the others.
Mark looked at everyone and gave instructions: "Xuefeng, you will take over the city defense forces and make sure to stabilize the situation at Lighthouse. Kunjie, Gaoge, Gavin, and Haji, you will assist Xuefeng."
“No problem!” Xuefeng agreed.
"it is good!"
"I never thought our little boss would become the city lord today." Haji, who usually liked to joke, was joking, but Xuefeng glared at him for it.
Mark, however, didn't care.
"Mo Cheng, you are now in command of the Wilderness Hunters. Jeff and Corey, you will assist Mo Cheng. The Wilderness Hunters' main task now is to work with the city defense forces to stabilize the situation."
"understand!"
All eyes turned to Jing Yuan.
If Mo Cheng is in charge of the Wilderness Hunters, what about Jing Yuan?
Chapter 113 The New Head of the Association
As everyone knows, this time Charles plotted to frame Mark, even assassinate him, and launch a coup.
Thanks to Jingyuan's secret planning and preparations.
Mark's rise to city lord was largely due to Jing Yuan's efforts.
Jing Yuan was originally the deputy captain of the Wilderness Hunters. Logically speaking, since Mark became the city lord, the position of commander of the Wilderness Hunters should have been handed over to Jing Yuan. However, Mark handed over the command of the Wilderness Hunters to Mo Cheng.
Mark remained unconcerned by the surprised looks on everyone's faces. He turned to the supplies manager, Eun, and asked, "Eun, how is the food supply at the Lighthouse?"
"We have enough food now to last us for a long time."
"What about the food for the upper class?"
"It's enough!"
“Take a portion of the food from the upper class and distribute it to the lower class.”
"Give it to the Dust People?" Yuen exclaimed in shock, "Captain Mark... Lord City Lord, there are too many Dust People. Even if we give all the food of the Upper People to the Dust People, it still won't be enough!"
Mark hesitated for a moment without speaking, but Jingyuan said from the side, "I didn't ask you to give it all. Set a time in the next two days to open the food of the upper class to the common people under the pretext of celebrating the ascension of Lord Mark. It will be limited to one day, and tell them that there will be such days in the future."
Eun then asked, "If the food is distributed to the common people, then there won't be enough food for the upper class."
"If you don't have enough, just eat insect cakes. It's not like you can't eat them!"
"Yes!"
Jingyuan looked at Mark. Even if Mark said it out loud, he would feel awkward about such a small trick to win people over.
Mark continued, "From now on, Dust People's children can also attend school. We'll open up pathways for Dust People to advance; as long as they have the ability, they can still become Hunters or City Defense Force members!"
"This..." Mark made such a big change as soon as he took office, which was hard to accept at first.
In particular, the upper class will feel that their interests have been eroded.
Only Dr. Carrie laughed from the side, "I thought you were an honest kid. You actually know how to win people over!"
Carrie has a sharp tongue; she'll criticize anyone she can get her hands on.
"Dr. Carrie, you are in charge of ecological research. I will come to you later to ask you some questions."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you, Lord City Lord."
Mark looked at everyone and said, "From now on, stop calling me 'sir'. I have a name, Mark. You all have names too. Names are for calling people, not for 'sir'."
"Yes!"
……
Inside the Church of Light and Shadow, in front of the Wall of All Beings, Jingyuan carefully examined the statues.
Mark stood beside him and asked doubtfully, "Can you handle these people from the Light and Shadow Society?"
Jing Yuan sighed, "To completely solve the problem of the Light and Shadow Society, we can only change its living environment. But this is something that can't be solved in a short time. So, to deal with the charlatans, we can only become 'gods' ourselves."
Mark looked at Jing Yuan and said, "It seems that you are the only one who can accomplish this!"
"Yes!"
The Light and Shadow Society issued a call to action, and all the believers of the Upper Class flocked to the church.
Early in the morning, they learned that Charles's coup attempt had failed.
So who is gathering them now?
Many people know that only the city lord has this ability.
Sure enough, as the believers entered the church, they saw Mark standing on the steps from afar.
Beside Mark stood Jing Yuan, dressed in a black robe.
"Lord Mark!"
"Lord City Lord!"
