After dealing with his phone calls, Edward looked at Grindelwald and asked: "Did you find the people who instigated the revolt?"
"Yes. They belonged to a radical anti-Imperialism group. I tracked many of their secret bases in many different planets in our solar system and have eradicated them. However, I noticed that their operation was funded by someone or a group of people.
"Unfortunately, these people were very good at erasing their traces."
After saying that, he looked at Amelia, who added more to the topic.
"Since your departure, a group of corporations has been using their financial means, threat, and dark magic to influence many members of the council.
"They have been trying to pass laws regarding lowing taxes, Nobility Titles, and the rights to privately own planets. I believe that they are responsible for the fundings of these radical groups."
Edward reviewed the information that Amelia sent him, and a deeper frown appeared on his face. Their actions have begun to affect the foundation of the Empire.
One of the reasons that the empire has been flourishing so well is because it is a meritocracy. As long someone contributed enough, they can rise in both status, strength, wealth, and many more.
However, many of these corporations have begun to take credit for their worker's contributions for their own benefit. Edward will never allow this to happen, otherwise, the Empire will crumble at a rapid rate.
"Why don't you deal with these people?" he asked.
"The main reason is that there is not enough evidence to back these accusations; these people are very good at cleaning their tracks."
Edward understood her meaning. As the most powerful elder of the council, she still has to follow certain laws and regulations. However, he does not.
"Don't tell anyone about my return. I will attend the Council Meeting three days later and deal with these people."
Edward knew that these people were dying to know what other universes are like and what he experienced, so he showed them. He uploaded his memory and experience in a private server of Skynet and have them experience it themselves.
Of course, a few private things were left out.
So, all of them closed their eyes for a few minutes before opening their eyes.
"The wonders of the world never stop amazing me," said Flitwick with a big sigh. He was not the only one who felt that way.
After everyone reviewed the memory, all of them gave Nicolas Flamel a strange look before averting their eyes. In the information that they just learned, they knew that someone with the same name as him was involved with the Philosopher's Stone.
All of them were not stupid and guessed something. However, since Edward did not mention this topic, they did not bring it up.
Then, all of them began to review the knowledge Edward brought back from his voyage. Besides Nicol who was interested in Gate Alchemy and Snape who was interested in Alkahestry, all the other members focused more on the Arcane Rune Magic that Edward invented.
"So, we, wizard, finally have a way forward," said Rowena as she read the information on becoming Tier 4 and Tier 5.
"Not just wizards, but mages too," added Hermione. "With this new system, most if not all the problems that mages faced will be solved."
The creation of mages has always been very important to her as it was a way for her to allow her parents to use magic.
"I can even use it to deal with the issue of Bloodline Rejection," commented Fleur.
Edward nodded his head as he could see that each of them could find inspiration from the knowledge he brought back.
"Nico, what do you think?"
"The Gate Alchemy seemed to be an advanced form of Transmutation Magic. With it and the new form of enchantments you created, we can finish Project Uranus in two years or less. If there is more manpower, it can be done in 6 months."
"Indeed," replied Edward as he sent new schematics that he developed for the Floating City to Nicol; it was a better and more powerful version of the old ones.
Nicolas was intrigued and began to study it.
"What about you aunty? What do you think?"
"The Gate Alchemy is a system that can be generalized to the people. As long as someone has a soul, they can have a Gate, meaning that we will enter an era where every individual in the empire has some sort of extraordinary power.
"However, that is not necessarily a good thing. Once people have power, their inner desires will also be augmented. So, we need proper regulation to ensure that things do not go out of control."
"Don't worry, I've been prepared for this possibility."
Then, Edward sent all of them a new document with the title:
"Project Pangea."
"This will be our main next project in the next few months, so I need you guys to become knowledgeable in Gate Alchemy. Additionally, I will organize a symposium with all the Tower Masters and other influential wizards of the empire to help."
"I'm glad that you already thoughts of everything," nodded Amelia. With the current plan, no matter whether it is wizards, mages, or other extraordinary beings, it will be easier for them to be managed.
Amelia read the information about the destruction ability of Tier 5; she could imagine what kind of catastrophe these people could make if they went rogue.
"There is more," suddenly said Edward as he sent them another blueprint with the title: Project Akashic.
After everyone read the entire thing, a solemn look appeared on their faces; everyone became quiet. Finally, Flitwick said:
"Is this a little too dangerous? If something goes wrong, there will be catastrophic ramifications."
Many people agreed with Flitwick.
"This is the reason I'm showing you all of this," replied Edward. "I want your help to deduce the possible danger that I overlooked and come up with ways to reduce them."
Many people immediately understood that there were no ways to change Edward's mind. Without them, he will still take the risk.
The only person slightly excited was Rowena.
"Does this Akashic Record truly exists? Does it really contains all the knowledge in the word?"
"They do exist. However, I do not know if they contain all the knowledge in the world, but there should be more than we can imagine."
The meeting continued for a few minutes before everyone was dismissed. Edward could see that many of the people present wanted to become Tier 4 Wizards as soon as possible, and even Tier 5.
So, he dismissed them before warning them that they should probably practice [Aura] to strengthen their bodies before trying to reach the higher stages, otherwise they risked failure.
Then, he waited for the Council Meeting three days later.

Three days soon passed, and a council meeting took place. All the elected officials along with the Council Elders showed up thinking that this would be a regular meeting like any others.
However, after everybody arrived, they discovered that the Emperor sat on a throne in the highest seat of the council. They did not whether he instantly appeared on that sit or he was always here but they could not notice him.
Many people immediately became scared. There was a rumor that the Emperor went to a faraway place and would not return for at least a few decades if not centuries.
Because of this, many people became impudent and did things that they were not supposed to; things they knew could get them killed or imprisoned.
So, after seeing the Emperor alive and well after only a short five years, these people knew that they were in trouble. A few of them wanted to run, however, as soon as this idea popped up in their minds, a powerful pressure enveloped the room making everybody unable to move.
Arcane Rune Spell: Spiritual Pressure.
This was a spell that Edward invented based on Bleach's anime reiatsu or spiritual pressure. With this spell, he could release the strength of his soul to intimidate his opponent.
And if there is a vast difference in soul strength, he can render the person immobile and unable to use their mana. With Edward's Tier 5 strength and the fact that his soul has always been innately powerful, he was able to immobilize all the Tier 3 wizards in the room along with the other regular people.
Once everybody was unable to move, Edward began to use a large-scale Legilimency Spell to read the mind of these people.
This act infuriated all of them, even the people who had nothing to hide. After all, no one wanted to have their mind and memories read by someone else; this was an invasion of property.
So, all of them collectively resisted.
Unfortunately, soon after, a warning was sent in their minds:
"If they resisted, more force will be used, which could lead to damage to their minds and souls."
Immediately, these people knew that the Emperor was furious and will not play nice with them as usual. Anyone who stood in his way today will suffer the consequences.
Although some people were unwilling, they stop resisting. As for the ones that refused to, they suffered the consequences. Many of them dropped to the floor, screaming in pain as they held their heads.
Once Edward was done with his search, a few people discovered that some people had a red "X" braided on their foreheads. More importantly, Three Council Elders had the same mark.
The room instantly became quiet with everybody having a subtle look in their eyes.
Then, one of the people who had a mark on them was suddenly enveloped by a dark aura that allowed him to break the spiritual pressure immobilization. Afterward, that person began to turn into a shadowy figure seeming to want to apparate away.
Unfortunately, before he could do so, a magic circle appeared on the ceiling and a green light flew from it and hit him. With a look of horror on his face, that person fell to the ground, his body paled–although there was not a single scratch on him.
A few knowledgeable wizards could tell that this spell looked similar to the Killing Curse that was once infamous in the wizarding world.
And these people were correct, at least partially. Edward modified the Killing Curse to destroy people's souls instead of the vitality inside the body, thus making the spell more deadly.
While everyone was still terrified by this person's death, members of the Imperial Guard entered the room and took away the people who had marks on them.
"I would like to apologize to all of you who are innocent in this incident," said Edward calmly. "Unfortunately, the situation required desperate measures.
"To express my gratitude for your loyalty to me and the Empire, you can rest assured that you will be compensated."
Immediately, the remaining people receive a notification that a great number of Arcane Points have been added to their accounts. Additionally, they discovered that the Grand Library has been updated with two different power systems and many other new things.
The Wizards in the room quickly took notice of Tier 4 and Tier 5 advancing methods, while the Mages took notice of the ways to stabilize their Magic Core and increase the upper limit of Mana.
"Alright, you can review these things after this meeting. They will not be publicly announced for another two weeks, which should be plenty of time to give many of you an advantage," said Edward.
So, everyone quieted down and provided their attention to him.
"First, there will be a rise in taxes to all the Private Corporations along with laws that strictly regulate them. You can emphasize the aspect of them taking credits for other people's works. I have a zero-tolerance policy regarding their actions.
"The Imperial Guards will assist in the arrest of the people found guilty of such crimes. They will have the power to kill anyone who resists before reporting."
A few people clenched their teeth after hearing this. Although they were publicly elected, they still have private businesses on the side. But now, they could foresee hard times with these new laws.
"Second," continued Edward. "All people with extraordinary abilities will be collectively referred to as 'Arcanist.'
"Mages will be called Arcanists, wizards as Bloodline Arcanists, Wizard Knight as Arcane Knight or Arcane Swordmen based on their preferred choice."
Edward then proceeded to divide the different classes of Arcanists.
People who use Gate Alchemy will be known as Gate Arcanists. People who modified their genes, people who replaced their bodies with robotic, and [Aura Masters] will be under the category of Enhancer Arcanists.
Although he wanted to have a separate category for mechanically enhanced individuals, the field was just beginning and there were not many people or knowledge to be an independent department.
Another department that faced the same problem is Psychic Energy that Narcissa Malfoy and Soleil discovered. This particular system has not developed yet to the point of being on its own.
However, once they do, they either be called Spiritual Arcanists or Arcane Psykers. He hasn't decided yet.
After the meeting was over, Edward left the council. He hoped that the first law deal with some of the issues regarding class division and wealth distribution in the Empire.
As for the second, it is to bridge the gap between wizards, mages, and other extraordinary people. With the common identity as "Arcanist", it will be easier for people to be united and rally together.
So, from now on, he is no longer a wizard but an arcanist.
