A month passed.
And in that month, one of Lucien's new facilities quietly changed the way countless people looked at their futures.
The Path Compatibility Pavilion opened first in the main Lootwell territory.
Then in Grand Confluence.
At first, people had approached it with curiosity.
Then caution.
Then hunger.
Above the entrance was written:
[The Pavilion does not choose for you.]
[It shows roads.]
[You walk.]
Lucien liked that line.
The first rule of the Path Compatibility Pavilion was simple.
For those who had not integrated with a Law yet, entry was free.
Peak Metamorphosis Realm practitioners were the ones who needed the Pavilion most. They stood before the threshold where a wrong choice could waste decades or twist an entire life sideways. Making them pay heavily before they even understood their path would defeat the purpose.
However, those who had already used the Pavilion and later integrated with a Law would need to pay if they wanted further projections.
