"I want some resources and privileges to build an organization." Kayden would have to sacrifice some of his time with others, without any research purpose this time.
His goal was to build a strong enough organization so that he could live peacefully in the future without needing to advance rapidly to gain enough strength to survive.
He could create several monsters, and combined with Yan’s influence, he could easily make a few hundred peak mages, enough to dominate a significant portion of the universe.
The main problem was being betrayed in the end, but that would be ridiculously difficult because he would place subliminal messages in the souls of the people around him. Kayden would essentially make his subjects love him with all their might.
"That won’t be a problem." Yan and Kayden discussed for a few more hours everything Kayden could take and a space for him to cultivate on this planet.
The boy was granted a small continent surrounded by seas on all sides, large enough to accommodate a few trillion people. It was currently uninhabited because it was the next reward Yan planned to give to one of his false gods for their excellent millennial work.
After many agreements and days, the two returned to the farm. Incredibly, everyone was waiting for them. Kayden’s presence was simply too much of an enigma to be ignored, and they could easily wait a few days.
"Atlas, from today on, Kayden is your master. This is a unique opportunity in your life, one even I would have wanted as a mortal," Yan sweetened the words that shocked the whole family.
"Father!"
"No!"
"YAN!!!"
Several cries came from different sources. Most couldn’t understand how this happened—who exactly was Kayden, and why was he being treated so well by their father? On top of that, why was he becoming a master to one of them?
"Quiet, this decision has already been made. They will live on the Island of the Condemned." Since it was located in the most distant part of the planet, many called it by that name. "Atlas, trust your father this time and go with Kayden."
Yan simply pushed his son, Kayden, and Reyna out of the farm, launching them a few tens of thousands of kilometers away. The god seemed to be facing a good argument at home.
"Atlas," Kayden took the reins of the situation, "you just need to stay with me for one year and decide if you want to be my disciple or not. Until then, just call me Kayden." Atlas was a boy who grew up being bullied by his brothers.
Even though his family was united, and he knew it was all just play, being the weakest cast a shadow in his mind that weighed on him at all times, never leaving him alone.
This was a unique opportunity in his life. The boy could at least try. Like it or not, it was a recommendation from his father, and he knew how protective Yan really was of his children.
"Fly a bit away, Atlas. I need to talk to Reyna alone," Kayden requested as the boy agreed to his previous words.
"Swear to the heavens you won’t let anything I say here slip," Kayden’s words scared the woman who had spent the last few hours under incredible tension caused by the presence of Yan’s children.

The big problem was the god’s wife, who had far more experience. With just a few words and some pressure, she managed to get every piece of information she wanted out of Reyna.
"I swear to the heavens that I won’t let anything escape from my lips." The heavens glorified her with a golden lightning bolt, symbolizing that they had accepted her words.
"Marry me," Kayden said two words Reyna never expected to hear, not even in her wildest dreams. All the while, the boy had been bombarding the girl’s soul with emotions of love and attraction.
"I..." Kayden knew it wouldn’t be easy. He would need to push a bit more to secure a wife.
"Let me tell you a story," Kayden began detailing everything he had discussed with Yan. With every word, Reyna’s expression grew heavier and more closed off.
After a few minutes, Kayden said everything he had to say, presenting all he had gained and what he would do in the future. Meanwhile, he continued bombarding Reyna’s soul with positive emotions about him.
Something Kayden quickly realized was that the more emotional an event was, regardless of whether it was negative or a great joy, everything made the soul more prone to receiving new information and desires placed artificially.
"Become my queen, rule the entire continent and my organization. In return, all I ask is that you be the mother of my children." By this point, Kayden had spent long minutes bombarding Reyna.
"Is this a political marriage?" Reyna didn’t want to do something like that. Power was enticing, but in exchange for her freedom of choice, it simply wasn’t worth it.
"In part, but I genuinely was captivated by your beauty from the moment I met you," Kayden started adding various sweet words to his speech while continuing to bombard these feelings into the woman’s soul.
"Since when have you been in love?" Kayden didn’t expect that question.
"Since the day I first saw you." An obvious answer that Reyna would have regarded with great suspicion if she were fully in control of her thoughts, but Kayden’s constant attacks on her soul had left her practically infatuated with him.
"I..."
"How about we just have a casual relationship for a few years, until you’re ready to make this decision?" Kayden first offered a very strong option that would require many changes in Reyna’s life, then gave her a small escape route.
"I accept." Her soul accepted it immediately. Kayden would have plenty of time to mold the woman’s soul to his control; all he needed was time.

Once they returned to Reyna’s city, they began recruiting people to handle the administrative side of the continent’s population and resources. It was a simply colossal place, but luckily, Reyna had many contacts.
It took only a few months for them to recruit a few billion people and a few thousand top-level individuals. They only had to promise some rewards to the primary residents.
