“Interesting, you're the first person to praise me with a straight face while lying through your teeth.” Lothaire's lips twitched, barely managing a sarcastic smile to hide the panic in her heart.

“You can disguise yourself with ambition, but you can't fool everyone. You created a new religion and tampered with people's beliefs, not because of ambition, you have ulterior motives.” Han Xiao chuckled.

Han Xiao's understanding of the Lothaire in front of him was limited, but in his previous life, during the Silver Revolutionary Army version, players had collected a lot of Lothaire's information. After Han Xiao recognized Lothaire, he recalled this data, a significant portion of which was Lothaire's past experiences. She had told others about her past deeds, although she hadn't told players exactly where her hometown was, she had mentioned what she had done and her motivations back home.

Based on this information, Han Xiao knew that Lothaire's real motive had nothing to do with ambition. She wasn't manipulating faith for power. Han Xiao understood Lothaire better than she understood herself.

To become a core member of the Silver Revolutionary Army, one needed not only a special ability but also a restless heart and a unique ambition.

Lothaire was shocked. This was the first person to see through her disguise. She quickly suppressed the surprise in her heart and used vigilance and caution to stabilize her mind. This had been her habit for many years, and she thought to herself, “Black Star has only met me twice, and he's saying these things for no reason. He must have some ulterior motive… He's definitely exaggerating on purpose, how could he know what I'm thinking…”

The real motive for establishing a church and gathering faith had always been the deepest secret in her heart. Lothaire had never told anyone else, and she didn't think Black Star could guess it.

Reynard also turned to look at Han Xiao, his eyes suspicious. Could it be that his sister had other secrets?

“Your ability is to subtly rewrite people's mental outlook. The effect isn't violent, and you can't completely control others according to your will, but you can instill all kinds of thoughts into them.”

Han Xiao looked confident and slowly said, “Thoughts are invisible, but like the strings that control puppets, they affect every aspect of an individual. Whether he is loyal or rebellious, enthusiastic or hypocritical, cheerful or gloomy, largely depends on his thoughts. The same environment can create different people, also because of thoughts.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the forcibly composed Lothaire and smiled faintly, “The new ideas you impart to them through your ability are very contagious. In the eyes of your hometown's regime, your ideas are a virus, but in my opinion, your ideas are seeds, seeds that can reverse the development of an entire nation by tens of thousands of years.”

“You…” Lothaire's expression changed drastically.

Before she could react, Han Xiao continued unhurriedly.

“The racial personality of a civilization depends partly on nature and partly on the traditional ideas passed down from ancient times. Those that cannot be controlled by later generations will change on their own at various stages of the historical process. Finally, these historically inherited ideas will eventually dissolve into the blood of this race, becoming their spiritual background. History only happens once, and a race has no second chance to choose… In fact, it can be said that there is no chance to choose at all. From a macro perspective, the culture and personality of a civilization are almost random, finding a result that may not be the optimal solution in infinite variables, and of course, there may be no optimal solution at all.”

“I call you a reformer because I know that you established a church in your hometown not for power, but to reform your own race.” Han Xiao smiled slightly, “To be honest, I admire your ambition. What you want to reform is not a regime, not a system, but the entire ethnic group's cultural thought and spiritual pursuit, thereby changing the spiritual background of the race!”

This news was like a hurricane, Reynard was shocked, his mouth open, staring blankly at Lothaire. If what Han Xiao said was true, his sister's handwriting was simply unbelievably large.

Lothaire was as if struck by lightning, dumbfounded, with an incredible expression on her face.

Han Xiao smiled secretly. These were the motives Lothaire herself had said in his previous life. Now, using them to fool the main character was incredibly effective.

After a pause, he continued, “Reforming the system and reforming the regime are not as far-reaching as changing the spiritual background of the entire race. Many problems are human problems, and character determines destiny. When there is no external influence, this law also applies to a civilization.”

“History has been finalized. In the process of development, a civilization basically has no chance to actively change its character background, and your behavior is to implant new ideas into the group through the form of ability and religion, giving them the opportunity to change. This is your 'Race Transformation Plan'.”

Han Xiao stroked his chin, “Well, but you are just an individual in this ethnic group. In the eyes of others, you are not qualified to reverse everyone's thoughts. Everyone has been branded with historical traditions in the process of growing up. You can't impact the deep-rooted traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years, so you have become a heretic, a sinner.”

In his opinion, Lothaire's behavior was simply aimed at becoming a saint!

Han Xiao couldn't help but complain inwardly about Lothaire—denying history, denying the inherited national spirit, you are very nihilistic, your thoughts are too dangerous, there's really no problem locking you up.

But this woman's idea is not wrong… Han Xiao's eyes turned. Assuming that there were no Lao Kong Lao Meng in his previous life's history, no Confucianism, then the thoughts inherited by later generations would be different, and the logic of dealing with people would also change to a certain extent.

“And the easiest way to change the spiritual outlook of a group is through religion and schools of thought, so you chose to establish a church, gather faith, and subtly change people's character background. This is your real motive.” Han Xiao stared at Lothaire with great interest, “I wonder if I'm right?”

Lothaire's hand trembled, took a deep breath, and looked at Han Xiao with extreme complexity.

“What you said… is correct.” Lothaire's tone was low, completely without the cynical appearance she had just had. At this time, Han Xiao vaguely saw the aura of a church leader in her.

She looked directly into Han Xiao's eyes, her eyes unwavering, and said in a deep voice, “I'm not that noble. My parents and Reynard's died in political marches. The Cecily civilization has disappointed me time and time again, so I wanted to change something… You're right, I really don't have the right to change the spiritual background of the entire ethnic group, and they may not need me, but if no one does anything extraordinary under pressure, nothing will change. I've been founding a church for many years, and I've only managed to change the character of a small number of people. Through dogma and superpowers, I make them positive, let them grasp the present, and make them better. As long as the church is passed down again and again, even if there is no superpower in the future, these ideas will become more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts, but unfortunately, it has caused a backlash…”

After so many years of suffering, Lothaire was deeply wary of everyone. Her venomous tongue and cynical attitude were her protective disguise, because there was too much intrigue, too many people wanted to use her, she had once made up her mind not to open her heart to anyone, even if she was misunderstood, she would not defend herself.

But now, Lothaire was confiding her inner thoughts to outsiders for the first time.

She stared at Han Xiao, and complex emotions rose in her heart, including shock, relief, and a hint of comfort at meeting a confidant. These were all the deepest secrets in her heart, never told to others, but Black Star saw through them so easily and said her real thoughts. Lothaire also met such a person who understood her so well for the first time, almost making her lose her composure.

Reynard was speechless, looking at Lothaire in disbelief, looking her up and down, seemingly suspecting that his sister had been replaced. He couldn't imagine that Lothaire would have such a grand ambition, which was to go to heaven and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Seeing Lothaire admit it, Han Xiao was secretly excited.

This fertilization method is as effective as before. The Silver Revolutionary Army used this method to fool her in his previous life!

“Achoo!”

On Aquamarine Star, Bennett suddenly sneezed.

After Lothaire finished speaking, the room became quiet. For a while, no one spoke. Han Xiao tapped the table and took the initiative to speak.

“So what are your plans for the future? You can't go back to Cecily. Now you are nominally a prisoner of the Purple Crystal. I bailed you out, and you can't run around yet.”

Hearing this, Lothaire turned to glance at Reynard and smiled lightly, “I understand. After saying so much, you still want to keep me here.”

“You are a talent, and I like talents.”

Han Xiao naturally didn't need to deny it.

“Since my brother works for you, I think even if you use me, you won't go too far. Okay, you used your connections to save me, and I owe you a favor. My brother is my brother, and I won't use him to repay your favor, and I don't have much fighting power, so I'm definitely not your opponent…”

Lothaire stretched and regained her cynical attitude. She winked at Han Xiao, deliberately revealing a hint of ambiguity, “Since I can't escape, I have no choice. I'll lend you my body as a tool. Use it as you please, don't be polite.”

“Okay.”

Han Xiao remained calm and nodded, but he was secretly complaining in his heart—you stubborn tsundere, you're still pretending. Such a big +80 red heart of goodwill, do you think I can't see it? Would you die if you honestly said you were grateful, would you die!

With the biggest problem settled, Han Xiao asked Reynard to take Lothaire to rest and eat something to replenish her nutrition. After being imprisoned for many years, Lothaire's body was quite weak and urgently needed to recover.

After the two left, Han Xiao stayed alone in the hall, tapping the sofa with his fingers, pondering how to make the most of Lothaire, this special talent.

Lothaire's ability is very suitable for ideological construction. He felt that it could be used to strengthen the Black Star Army's corporate culture and cultivate slogans such as "Let the glory of Black Star spread throughout the stars" and "May Black Star rise as usual". There are also specialized talents in the war field for ideological and cultural construction.

“In other words, Lothaire can serve as a political commissar?”

Han Xiao excitedly touched his lips.

Using spiritual construction to make leeks grow stronger…

Isn't this a powerful compound fertilizer!

“And her ability is very special. In the future, the Silver Revolutionary Army may still target her. It's impossible for me to keep such an ambitious person forever. In that case, if she becomes a core member of the Silver Revolutionary Army like in her previous life, maybe I can form a good relationship with them, maintain a good relationship, and not be enemies.”

The Silver Revolutionary Army can become the main line of a major version, so naturally they are very powerful. Although Han Xiao doesn't want to join them to rebel against the three major universe civilizations, he doesn't want to be enemies with them either.

Perhaps through Lothaire, he can discover the traces of the Silver Revolutionary Army before they start their activities, and then he can make preparations in advance.

Han Xiao thought it over and felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea, and then he opened the panel.

In the task list, the [Reformer] task has long been completed, the rewards have been obtained, and a completed Reynard character summoning card is waiting in the panel.

[Character Summoning Card-Reynard: [Perfect Mechanical Sense]-Mechanical Overall Affinity x1.4, this effect directly acts on the total value; when using Mechanic Force to strengthen machinery, the quality of the machinery is temporarily increased by 1~2 levels, up to a maximum of pink rare quality; all Mechanic System active skills, the actual effect is defaulted to level +4, which can break through the level limit, the effect lasts for 16 hours, usage limit 0/3——In your senses, every machine is an ecologically balanced world]

“It can be used three times, each lasting sixteen hours, which is very durable. It seems that the effect of this type of character card also takes into account the cycle of making machines. It can be used for both combat and manufacturing.”

Han Xiao was quite satisfied. With the effect of this character card, it was basically no problem to create orange equipment. He only needed to complete the blueprint task and get the silver inheritance blueprint.

After looking at the effect again, Han Xiao was increasingly envious of Reynard.

I really want to get the genuine [Perfect Mechanical Sense] specialty…

Alas, we are different!

……

After rescuing Lothaire, Han Xiao and Reynard split up, letting Reynard take Lothaire back to headquarters to settle her down, while he drove his spaceship away from the Colton Star Cluster and headed to the location of the blueprint task.

Whether it was the affairs of the Black Star Army, Verna, or Lothaire, their importance was not as great as his job transfer task. Improving his strength was the only way to maintain his current foundation. With the dawn of completion for the job transfer task, Han Xiao put down the other work at hand and focused on the job transfer.

Just as Han Xiao left the Colton Star Cluster, in the dark corner he couldn't see, a pair of eyes were staring closely at his movements.
