Chapter 135: Two Years Of Development In Sinclair Order Island
Lucy stood beside him, watching as the mist twisted and swirled around them. "We're in the perfect position. Now we just need to bide our time."
Ted stretched, looking toward the ocean. "And when we're ready, the world won't even see us coming. The Sinclair Order will become the strongest force in the entire world!"
Linsley smiled, the weight of the coming years already falling into place in his mind.
The island was secure, their power would grow, and when the time came, the Sinclair Order would emerge from the shadows, becoming the strongest force in the Diviner World!
…
Two years passed, and during that time, Linsley's grand vision for the Sinclair Order took shape in full.
The island, now entirely veiled by the mist of secrecy, became a haven of power and an impenetrable fortress.
At its heart, Linsley's most ambitious creation came into being—the Holy Spirit of Judgment, a sentient entity that embodied the very rules and laws he had crafted for the island's governance.
It wasn't just a guardian, but a manifestation of his will, enforcing the divine order that would define the Sinclair Order for centuries to come.
The Holy Spirit of Judgment held dominion over every aspect of the island, ensuring absolute obedience and discipline. It upheld a strict code of laws that Linsley had imbued into its very essence.
These laws were woven into the island's very fabric, and none who lived there could escape their influence.
Under Linsley's meticulous guidance, the Sinclair Order's island became a hidden sanctuary, safeguarded by the powerful Holy Spirit of Judgment, a creation that ensured order and control.
Over the two years of their secluded work, Linsley had laid down a series of fundamental laws—binding rules that would govern not only the inhabitants of the island but also those who sought refuge or power under his dominion.
The first of these laws was the Rule of Faith.
Faith wasn't merely a matter of belief but a tangible currency within the Sinclair Order. Those who sought Linsley's protection or strength had to commit to the Sinclair Order as their true divine path.
As followers deepened their faith, they contributed what was called faith points—a mystical form of energy that fueled the island's growth and empowered its systems, including the Holy Spirit of Judgment.
This steady influx of faith was what would allow the Sinclair Order to flourish in isolation, yet grow ever stronger with time.
Next came the Rule of Dreams, a unique means of recruitment that allowed Linsley to expand his influence across the world without ever leaving the island.
Using a specially crafted artifact, Linsley projected a manifestation of himself into the dreams of mortals. This wasn't just an ordinary vision but a divine encounter.
Those who truly sought salvation from the harsh realities of the outside world would dream of Linsley.
In their dreams, they would meet him, and he would judge their worthiness. If they proved themselves worthy of his cause, Linsley would grant them the ability to teleport directly to the island. Thus, new followers would arrive already devoted, willing to serve the Sinclair Order faithfully.
Then, there was the Rule of Judgment.
This rule gave the Holy Spirit of Judgment the authority to deal with intruders, traitors, or any who posed a threat to the Order. However, this law wasn't merely about punishing disobedience—it was far more severe.
The Holy Spirit could strip any defiant individual of their free will, turning them into a mindless servant or, in the worst cases, an example to others. This absolute power created an atmosphere where rebellion was unthinkable, and every action was carefully weighed against the Order's well-being.
For those who stayed loyal, they would be protected and guided, but for any who defied, there would be no mercy.
Lastly, the Rule of Salvation provided a pathway for those seeking redemption and purpose.
While the Rule of Dreams brought new followers to the island, the Rule of Salvation ensured that these recruits knew they were not merely entering a place of safety but also submitting themselves to a divine cause.
Salvation was earned through loyalty, and once on the island, followers were expected to devote their lives to the Sinclair Order's greater purpose—whether through faith, service, or combat.
Over time, these rules intertwined to form a cohesive system of control, protection, and faith that made the island both a sanctuary and a fortress.
As the two years passed, the mist of secrecy had completed its encasement of the island, cloaking its very existence from the outside world.
No mortal or monster would be able to detect the island's presence in the core area of the Devouring Whale Ocean unless they were invited or powerful enough to defy the laws of concealment.
To outsiders, the core of the ocean appeared untouched, its hidden truth guarded by the devouring whale clan that now loyally served Linsley's every command.
The island itself, now fully risen from the depths of the ocean, was enormous—stretching as vast as a large country, with natural landscapes shaped by Linsley's Real Fantasy gift. It was a place of serenity and beauty on the surface, though its core housed immense power and the ever-watchful Holy Spirit of Judgment.
Linsley, Lucy, and Ted had spent the past two years not only building the infrastructure of the Sinclair Order but also growing in strength themselves.
Ted had reached Level 9, standing at the peak of royalty, while Lucy had ascended to Level 9.5, marking her as an Overlord—a dominant force in her own right.
While Ted was only a fraction of a step away from reaching the same status, Lucy had already surpassed that threshold, firmly establishing herself as one of the most powerful beings in the world.
Linsley, however, had reached a bottleneck. Stuck at Level 9.8, he sensed a great shackle imposed on him by the world itself—something preventing him from advancing to Level 9.9.
It was as if the laws of the world had imposed a barrier that kept him tethered to the realm of mortals.
Linsley knew that breaking through this barrier would not only elevate him but would open the path to the higher realms beyond.
Unable to push past that limit just yet, Linsley turned his focus elsewhere.
