“The Lifeless Sect, is it? Not killing them in one strike has only made things more troublesome.”
Ever since he had experienced failure on the Source Star, he had foreseen that the Source Star would become a major concern.
The feeling of knowing yet not being able to nip it in the bud was quite uncomfortable.
“Blasted Starry Sky Rules…”
Of course, it was just lip service.
Were it not for the Starry Sky Rules, he felt that facing Wang Sheng would have been even more troublesome; at least now he was somewhat guarded.
The Prophet did not have a convenient method like the Faith World to relay information, only through inter-realm channels.
By the time the Prophet’s Believers got the news, Ni Daoxin had already resolved the issue with the Bai Family.
“Elder Bai, we need to prepare for some things. Most of the Bai Family members who are bewitched are serving in the Federation, and clearly, quite a few high-ranking officials in the Federation have been bewitched. We must be well-prepared.”
The Bai Family’s Ancestor nodded, evidently realizing this as well.
“But such bewitchment is hard to defend against… Isn’t there any safe way? Did the True Saint pass down any instructions?”
Just this once, he had recognized the power of the True Saint and his enemies.
If it weren’t for Ni Daoxin and the family Divine Artifact, the Bai Family might have fallen.
And this was merely the work of two ’deities’ acting casually.
If they were to truly descend, it would be unimaginably horrifying.
“The True Saint has passed down Divine Arts for protection and warning, but only Believers can learn it. Next, I will send a Believer here, along with that treasure of the Bai Family, there shouldn’t be too big of a problem.”
Divine Arts, because they rely on the power of the Faith World, could only be learned by Believers.
The deeper the belief, the better the effect.
If Xia Yang were to utilize the Divine Arts, he could achieve the power of the Seventh Realm.
The Bai Family’s Ancestor, hearing this, felt somewhat disappointed.
However, having a Believer stationed was also good, knowing that they would not be bewitched unknowingly.
“Considering the situation of the Bai Family, one can imagine what it must be like for other families in the Federation. It can be presumed that some families have already completely fallen.”
Ni Daoxin nodded and then said, “That’s precisely what I needed to explain, Elder Bai, the followers of the Evil God will definitely not rest easy, we need to prepare in advance.”
The Bai Ancestor immediately understood the implications: “I will start preparations right away.”
Before long, the Federation news announced that high-level officials in the Federation had been bewitched and had become Believers of the Evil God, which would bring disaster to the Tianhe Federation.
Public opinion was in an uproar.
But no action was taken.
However, an hour and a half later, another authoritative media of the Federation, Tianhe News, declared that the Lifeless Sect spreading within the Imperial Ancient Capital was actually a Cult, which would become the breeding ground for the birth of the Evil God, and everyone would become sacrifices.
Authoritative media of the Federation, within a day, announced the coming of two Evil Gods.
“Federation news is controlled by the Bai Family, and Tianhe News by another top family, the Wei Family… are the two families conflicting?”
Many within the upper echelons of the Federation were puzzled.
But they also knew there was a serious issue.
An undercurrent that had emerged a year ago seemed about to surface.
The two top families were coming head to head.
Families in good relations with each other began to inquire amongst themselves.
Even ordinary citizens, upon seeing such matters discussed by two authoritative media, sensed something amiss.
“It’s exactly showing lapses, the Wei Family is likely one of those that has completely fallen. Lucky we announced earlier, otherwise, the situation would have been troublesome!”
The Lifeless Sect did not hide; they brought it plainly into the open.
Had it been declared a Cult by an authoritative media first, it would indeed have caused significant problems.
But now, being a step behind, it appeared to outsiders as though they were trying to cover something up.
And the Wei Family was the family bewitched by the Evil God.
“Even so, this will still cause considerable trouble.” Ni Daoxin knew, the effect was bound to be significant.
The Bai Ancestor shook his head: “There’s nothing we can do about it now. From now on, some things will come to light.”
After this, the conflict of faith would gradually escalate.
There might even be bloodshed.
He continued, “If we can find the Wei Family and remove the bewitchment, it could directly reverse the whole situation.”
Ni Daoxin, however, threw cold water on that idea:
“We are prepared, but the Evil God must be as well. My realm and Divine Arts are not powerful enough; it might not be easy to clear the core members of their bewitchment.”
It wasn’t a lack of confidence in the Divine Arts, but in himself.
The Bai Ancestor thought for a moment and agreed with this point, considering Ni Daoxin had only been a Believer of the Lifeless True Saint for a year.
“Since that is the case, then let’s have a ’direct’ confrontation.”
The top families confronting each other plunged the entire Federation into turmoil.
People gradually regained their composure.
The Lifeless True Saint and the Prophet, weren’t they the two Ninth Realm powerhouses predicted by the Prophet?
In the following year, the temporarily neutral top officials of the Federation witnessed the power of the Ninth Realm.
Not a power in terms of strength, but influence.
“Just the mention of their titles stirred up turmoil in the Federation, if this continues, there’s no need to act, the Federation will be conquered.”
“And we were considering going against the Ninth Realm before?” Some were inwardly fearful, thinking that if they attempted to act, their own people might turn their guns against them.
Of course, there were also those from the Iron Blood Faction who were not convinced.
“So-called Ninth Realm, creating turmoil across the Federation, dare they show themselves, I want to blast them to ashes.”
Various opinions existed.
But regardless of the opinion, none could change the outcome.
