And the other was a certain token that Danye gave him before his death, as if thanking him for the liberation and also as if for revenge.

Simply put, it was the pass that the Emperor gave to the Second Prince.

The pass to Stillwater Prison—a core like jade

...

The area of Stillwater Prison was much larger than Reji had imagined.

Rather than calling it a prison, it was more like a small underground world.

After walking out of the teleportation gate, perhaps because he took the "internal passage", Reji directly appeared on a relatively high cliff.

There were no criminals here, nor the flesh monster described in Kazaar\'s diary. Find more adventures on m-v|-NovelBin.net

Everything was very quiet, extremely silent.

Reji came to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Perhaps that was the real Stillwater Prison. It was a dark land shrouded in thick gloom.

The gloom exuded an ominous aura. There seemed to be signs of something moving inside. If one looked more carefully, it seemed that the shadows of trees and vegetation could be seen.

Unfortunately, because the distance was too far and the gloom blocked most of the view, Reji couldn\'t obtain more information just by gazing.

As for this cliff where he was currently located, the reason it wasn\'t covered by the gloom was entirely due to an ancient lighthouse emitting a dark green light, located not far away, a hundred meters away on the cliff.

The light at the top of the tower isolated and dispelled all the gloom that wanted to spread over.

This kind of dark green light was almost identical to the jade core of the Second Prince before. Very obviously, this lighthouse should also belong to the internal facilities of the empire.

Reji withdrew his gaze from the cliff below and moved towards the inside of the lighthouse.

The iron door at the entrance of the lighthouse was locked, with complex magic seals on it. It would probably take a lot of effort to forcefully open it. But fortunately, Reji quickly found a hidden embedded slot next to the iron door.

The shape on the slot perfectly matched the jade core of the Second Prince in his hand. After putting the jade core in, accompanied by the flashing of a faint light, the entire lighthouse seemed to be awakened from its previous standby state.

The dark green light at the top of the tower flourished and began to rotate rhythmically. Immediately after, all the seals on the door in front of him were also removed and opened to both sides on their own, as if welcoming Reji.

The interior of the lighthouse was divided into three floors.

The first floor was like the room where the Second Prince stayed most often.

Many bookshelves were arranged here. On the shelves were books that Reji flipped through briefly. Most of them were Danye\'s experiences and various formulas when using "synthesis".

In addition to the bookshelves, a notebook on the desk in the center of the room quickly attracted Reji\'s attention.

The Second Prince probably never thought that anyone else would be able to come here, so he didn\'t take any confidentiality measures. The notebook was just left open on the desk.

The notebook was like a memoir. Most of it was used by Danye to record the warm and happy bits and pieces he experienced with Lana when he was a commoner before becoming an imperial candidate, that is, the "Second Prince", although poor and ordinary.

It could be seen that unlike other princes.

Danye served the Emperor and used insect eggs to infect all humans in the world purely for the sake of his woman.

Because of this, he didn\'t have any fanaticism towards the Emperor. On the contrary, from Danye\'s memoirs, Reji could see that the Second Prince\'s suspicion of the Emperor actually started very early.

The reason was the same as his own. Danye also didn\'t understand why the Emperor did this, what the purpose of insect egg infection of humans was.

But from the Emperor\'s repeated requirements for the improvement of insect eggs later on, Danye seemed to have figured out something.

The insect eggs currently parasitizing in human bodies had gone through three versions.

The first generation version, as seen in the memory image in the court before, the insect eggs only coexisted with humans.

And the second generation version, mentioned in the notebook, was that the Emperor took the initiative to summon Danye and asked Danye to conduct experiments, using "synthesis" to continuously optimize the insect eggs until the insect eggs reached the level of being able to absorb the host\'s magic power without causing death.

It was also during this period that the empire\'s efforts to promote the "Treaty on Prohibiting the Spread of Magic" reached its peak.

Danye judged from this that it might be because the Emperor wanted to maintain the empire\'s ruling position, so the emperor used this method to form a monopoly on magic talents, so that from then on, other countries would no longer be able to give birth to powerful individuals.

The third version later confirmed half of what Danye had guessed.

This time, the Emperor summoned Danye and asked Danye to apply the "pheromone" ability of the insect race to humans through the method of synthesis.

The so-called pheromone was actually equivalent to a monitoring device.

The previous insect eggs could curb magic power, but they couldn\'t curb human wisdom and desire for exploration.

Especially after the insect egg parasitization brought an unprecedented population explosion to humans. Originally, the human population, which had been reduced by two-thirds after the human-demon war, not only recovered to its original state in a few years but also quickly achieved a reversal.

Under an extremely large base number, there would always be a small number of people who could discover something or make breakthroughs in other fields and have new technologies.

For example, the mentor who researched a new type of magic cultivation technique, or the Herb Sage who discovered the insect eggs, and so on, in the memories of those judges that Reji read before.

The "pheromone" required by the Emperor was aimed at this type of person.

Whenever there was a major breakthrough or an outstanding discovery in a certain field that might lead to revolutionary progress, the insect eggs in the bodies of these key individuals would release a special pheromone, thereby being captured by the main body.

Afterwards, it was the action of the Court of Judgment.

To hunt down these core talents worldwide.

Seeing this, Reji finally understood why humans would regress so much a thousand years later, with no progress in civilization at all.

It was equivalent to precisely locating every genius, truly strangling geniuses in the cradle in the true sense.

This was undoubtedly anti-human.

And very wasteful.

The Second Prince in the notebook, after thinking that he understood the Emperor\'s intentions, had repeatedly proposed to the Emperor that there was no need to hunt down these talents. The talents could be absorbed into the empire.

After all, hunting down talents was just to hinder the development of other countries or forces, thereby consolidating the empire\'s supreme position.

Then if these talents could be won over and made to serve the empire, wouldn\'t it allow the empire to accelerate its development and open up an unbridgeable gap with other countries?

Even later, the Second Prince took the initiative to propose to the Emperor that insect eggs that could control talents could be developed. In this way, the Emperor wouldn\'t have to worry about the loyalty of these talents who had defected to the empire.

However, this time, the answer given by the Emperor was no.

And there was no room for negotiation at all.

It seemed that in the Emperor\'s eyes, those scholars and geniuses who could bring progress to human civilization were not elites, but tumors and scourges.

Once such people appeared, they were to be killed without mercy.

The Emperor was like this towards other countries and forces.

Even within the empire... it was the same.

At this point, the Second Prince in the notebook seemed to have just understood that in the Emperor\'s eyes, even the empire didn\'t matter. What the Emperor wanted was to be the "strongest".

For this, the Emperor didn\'t hesitate to use any means, even if it meant letting the entire human civilization stagnate, and no challengers who might threaten the position of the "strongest ".

After seeing the Emperor\'s true colors, the Second Prince quickly became terrified.

If the Emperor was really such an authoritarian dictator, an extreme individualist, would the Emperor possibly give up the position to these "princes" who had no blood relationship?

Even more boldly speculating, was it possible that the so-called "change of Emperor" had always been a lie from ancient times to the present, and every Emperor was actually the same person, that first generation Emperor?
