Eye System

After Zeek's mind had been mostly dormant for so long, it was thirsty for knowledge and had a lot of spare capacity, while Zeek also had a high pain tolerance and a large mental capacity, anyway.

Waling over to Zeek, Lex placed his forehead against that of Zeek's.

Zeek's instincts told him that Lex didn't have malicious intentions, and he also trusted him.

While even if Lex did have malicious intentions towards him, there was no way for him to defend himself against it anyway, so he let Lex get close to him.

As soon as their heads made contact, there was a bright flash, then lex passed onto him basic knowledge and information of most things, along with basic language skills that he would need.

Zeek stumbled backwards due to all the foreign things that suddenly appeared within his mind, but they were quickly absorbed into his active memory and understanding.

Within a matter of minutes, Zeek had become literate and able to speak much more fluently, which was incredible to watch and only due to Zeek's natural understanding speed and mental capacity.

There were various factors as to why the transfer of energy was so successful and it made Lex confident that he would be able to impart a lot of his knowledge onto Zeek.

The receiver's mind needed to be ready, fast and not already have that the information that Lex was departing.

The receiver would need to be completely relaxed and willing to take on board the knowledge and they would also need time to digest the knowledge.

While in most occasions, it was a case of compatibility and it seemed as though Zeek met all of those conditions.

He began explaining his life to them and spoke slowly to them, but his speech began to flow more and more and became fluent as he continued to speak.

Lex, Ella and Angela didn't speak throughout and listened closely to his life story, interested by it, but also feeling pity for him for his hardship.

They then went on to test his character through various tests and Zeek passed all of them, prioritising the lives of others, especially those that were weak and innocent, over his own.

He was the perfect candidate for the leader of the island and his potential made it so that his future was likely to be much more amazing than they expected.

Looking to either side and seeing that both Ella and Angela were happy with leaving Zeek as the one responsible for the island, Lex handed over the totem to him.

"What is this?" he asked.

"That totem has control of all the powerful bandits on this island and also can bind as many people as you want to it. As long as they willingly bind themselves to it with their blood, which can be done through force, they will be completely obedient," revealed Lex.

"However, before I pass onto you its complete control and leave this island in your hands, I would like to ask you one final question,"

"Are you willing to swear your life to protect and create a prosperous environment for all people within your territory and become a beacon of hope for everyone?"

"Are you also willing to completely submit to me and also never allow anything to jeopardise the peace and prosperity of your territory?"

"Yes, I am,"

"Then, we can begin the fun part,"

As he said that, Lex made sure to form a life or death contract with him in which he swore to never go against all the things that Lex had said to him and to never do anything that went against the best interests of the people.

Zeek has to always value the lives of all and work for the betterment of society and to create a better and safer environment for all people to live in. He also has to always aim to expand his clutches throughout the Lower Plains as much as he could to spread such things to more people.

Enjoying the fame and power was fine, as long as he was creating a better life for everyone and Lex trusted Zeek anyway, only forming the contract for extra security.

"Well now, that the contact is formed, I will give you a lot of knowledge at once, which may be painful, but I am sure you can handle it and will need it,"

Lex began by showing him how to bind the totem to himself and others and also how to use it to control all those that he bound to it.

He then imparted him with many cultivation methods, skills and techniques that suited him and all the knowledge that he could ever need up until the peak of the Golden Mortal Cultivation Level.

Lex also gave him most of the resources that he had gathered and taken from the bandits on the island, they also contained an abundance of knowledge that Zeek could use to improve himself.

The large sum of information that Lex dumped into Zeek's mind all at was once was very dangerous and hard to handle, but Zeek's mind was very developed and hungrily sucked in everything that he poured into it.

It would take a while to completely absorb all of the knowledge, but he had stored it and superseded it within his mind.

Standing up, Zeek bowed towards Lex and was extremely grateful, while he also apologised for attacking him and stated that he wanted to be just like him.

"I am far from being a saint and am merely lending a hand to those that are less fortunate and capable. It doesn't make me a good person, and this is your opportunity to build your own legacy and create a great life for generations to come," said Lex as he smiled at Zeek.

"But remember to rely on the totem and never trust anyone or go astray. People are cruel and you can never truly know when someone has ulterior motives. Your best bet is never getting too close to anyone or giving anyone the opportunity to exploit your weaknesses."
