Chapter 142: Chapter 134: Countermeasures Bureau’s Analysis, Bishops See Through the Trial?

"That’s a strong possibility, but we can’t rule out that he’s cultivating his own ’Player’ faction on the Carter Continent."

"But, based on this Chief Player’s past record, he shouldn’t have that kind of real-world influence. Otherwise, why would he have sold that item back then..."

"Therefore, the Wisdom Brain Group has determined that when this Chief Player asked about the Karte Continent, it was most likely for himself."

"In other words, this Chief Player can actually play across two different maps..."

"If that’s really the case, then everything makes sense."

At these words from the elderly man of the Countermeasures Bureau, the others present all nodded unconsciously.

"That’s true. After all, if you look closely at this Chief Player’s gameplay, his growth rate is astonishing."

"Ultimately, training other Players can’t compare to wholeheartedly focusing on his own path to power."

"After all, his rate of advancement is just too fast! In essence, rather than training Players from the real world, it would be more effective for him to recruit native Transcendents from the Game World."

"Of course, we can’t rule out that he sees the Potential of Players as something native creatures can’t match. But for now, he doesn’t seem to have a pressing need to build a team from the real world."

"So, I’m more inclined to believe that this Chief Player is actually planning to start his own war on the Karte Continent after understanding the Giant Demons’ strength, in order to quickly obtain Growth Level rewards and strengthen himself."

The Countermeasures Bureau had been watching Lince’s in-game character progression, so the current situation was actually quite easy to deduce.

In fact, Lince himself had no intention of hiding it.

After all, his presence on the Karte Continent would be discovered by other Players sooner or later.

Therefore, it wasn’t difficult for the Countermeasures Bureau to grasp Lince’s situation.

"This Chief Player’s growth is truly enviable."

"With his speed of advancement and his opportunities, to be honest, I feel like he’s something of a ’representative’ for the True Game, or maybe a ’shill’."

Wu Manyu sighed in admiration, her voice full of envy.

"A representative? A shill? Those terms are quite fitting."

"However, there’s no point in discussing that now."

"The Human Alliance has no choice, and neither does the Countermeasures Bureau. All we can do now is try to determine our official stance on this Chief Player based on the facts." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"As long as he bears us no ill will, and even shows an inclination to help Blue Star fight against external threats like he is now, that’s enough."

"The world today has become somewhat unrecognizable. Many things are already far beyond the Human Alliance’s comprehension. Just being able to maintain a relatively stable society is already pretty good."

At this, the elderly man surnamed Gao paused to think for a moment, then looked at Wu Manyu.

"From now on, Man Yu, your work is especially important."

"Remember, you must maintain a good relationship with this Chief Player. Whether or not Blue Star can truly break through this situation might depend entirely on his attitude."

"If he contacts you tomorrow, cooperate with him as much as you can."

"As for intelligence gathering, the statistics department should have a more detailed report on the Carter Continent compiled by tomorrow morning."

Wu Manyu nodded at once, without hesitation.

And so, after Wu Manyu spoke a little longer with the three leaders from the Countermeasures Bureau, the office finally grew quiet once more.

「Meanwhile, elsewhere.」

At this time, having learned of the fall of the gods, the six Bishops had left the Divine Hall, utterly dejected.

Clearly, none of them were in a good mood.

The moment they stepped out of the Divine Hall, one Bishop let out a deep sigh.

"Gentlemen, what’s done is done. The time has come for us to make a choice."

"Do we stay in this world and conquer it for His Majesty, or do we return to the Oakland Continent and continue to spread the faith of our Lord?"

"Our Lord achieved Ascension to Divinity through faith, so naturally, He can be resurrected through faith."

"His Majesty just confirmed this a moment ago, so I believe it is time we made our decision."

As the Bishop’s voice fell, the others around him stopped in their tracks.

Aemon looked at this Bishop, his expression grave.

"The situation in the Eagle Kingdom is dire. With the Beast Tide erupting, there’s very little we can actually do."

"Not to mention, we already lost the war against the Royal Family!"

"At this point, we really have no choice."

"Although this world is occupied by the so-called Giant Race, the Human Race is still present in large numbers."

"Although these members of the Human Race are merely slaves, in His Majesty’s words, as long as their enlightenment goes smoothly, they should be able to contribute to our Lord’s resurrection."

Aemon’s tone was very solemn; he had clearly already made up his mind.

Looking at him, Bishop Oleg, for once, stood on the same side.

"I agree with what Aemon said."

"Setting aside the Beast Tide in the Eagle Kingdom, the Royal Family’s attitude alone is hard to predict right now."

"How could the Eagle Kingdom compare to an entire world that is a wasteland of faith?"

"Besides, His Majesty of the Dragon Race may have given us a choice, but isn’t it also a form of test?"

"As the ancient Overlord of the Oakland Continent, as the Dragon God, He absolutely has many ways to help our Lord resurrect."

At this point, Oleg paused in thought for a moment before continuing:

"But even if His Majesty has the ability to resurrect our Lord, why would He do it?"

"For Him, our Lord is far from the only one who needs to be resurrected."

"Right now, His Majesty’s honesty is, in fact, a test of our faith in the truth!"

"Otherwise, His Majesty would have had no need to speak with us so candidly. After all, He is so noble and has no shortage of mortal beings He could use."

"Why would He go to such lengths?"

"Therefore, in my view, His Majesty is perhaps judging the faith of us worldly mortals, and through that, also judging some kind of ’resurrection value’ for our Lord."

"And what use are we to His Majesty?"

Oleg’s expression grew pensive.

’The only thing I can think of is the path of enlightenment, which the Church excels at.’

’His Majesty needs us to spread and teach the truth to this world’s Human Race, freeing them completely from their ignorant enslavement.’

’Without a doubt, the so-called Giant Demons of this world are the extra-continental enemies of our Oakland Continent!’

’Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the noble His Majesty came to this world and wants to completely purge them.’

"This is a war of vengeance, and it is a great crusade! Gentlemen, what is there to hesitate about?"

Oleg’s expression was incredibly resolute; he was clearly convinced of his own speculation.

"If His Majesty were not the Dragon God, we might really have to doubt everything."

"But His Majesty is, without a doubt, the great god of the Dragon Race! As for the Dragon Race, I believe that even if you don’t know much, you should understand the primeval binding power of the Dragon Race Code!"

When Oleg said this, a glimmer of hope clearly rose in the eyes of the other four Bishops.

"It must be so!"

"His Majesty’s intention must be this, otherwise why would He bother speaking so much with humble mortals like us."

"This is a test! A test for His Majesty to decide whether to resurrect our Lord first!"

"No wonder! Now that I think about it, it seems to be true."

"What reason would the Dragon Race have to deceive us? None! I can’t think of a single reason!"

"If the Dragon Race had wanted to rule the entire Oakland Continent in ancient times, it would have been effortless. In fact, nominally, the Oakland Continent was indeed under the Dragon Race’s dominion."

"The noble His Majesty has no reason to deceive us now, and this is all we can do!"

"Enlighten this world’s Human Race, and spread the glory of our Lord and the civilization of the Oakland Continent!!!"

"Haha~~~ It must be so!"
