Thirteenth District.
An underground base somewhere, surrounded by countless giant stone pillars standing tall.
Vast and empty, as if the entire underground had been hollowed out.
Tap, tap, tap!
Accompanied by the disordered sound of heavy footsteps.
One after another, terrifying auras emanating from non-human aliens appeared, gathering on either side of a stone staircase.
The upper end of the stone staircase connected to a high platform, and on the platform stood a stone throne several meters high. Seated on the throne was a tall figure with an indistinct face, perpetually shrouded in a darkness so thick it seemed almost tangible.
The non-human aliens below looked deeply at that dark figure, their expressions somewhat complex.
Indeed.
That dark figure was the Bishop of the Evolution Divine Teachings' Thirteenth District base — You Chong.
He had been sitting there for three years, not moving an inch, nor uttering a single word, as if he had quietly died.
However, it was well known that non-human aliens either ascend or enter the Mature Body, completely dominated by 'Divinity'.
To quietly die was an unimaginable luxury.
Thus.
During this period, some bold non-human aliens had attempted to ascend the platform to probe Lord You Chong's condition, for within the Evolution Divine Teachings, regardless of rank, once confirmed to be nearing the Mature Body, they would be assigned to execute the 'Holy War'.
For them, the 'Holy War' marked the extinguishing of rationality and the ignition of divinity, their final contribution to the Evolution Divine Teachings.
Thereafter, they would break free of all shackles, becoming unfettered transcendent life forms.
However, the moment that non-human alien approached Lord You Chong, he made a move. Extending a finger, he touched the forehead of the alien, who then twisted into a mass of flesh, even the pollutants within being completely absorbed.
Afterward, Lord You Chong fell back into silence.
Since then, no one dared to approach him again.
Moments later.
The variously shaped non-human aliens withdrew their gazes. One among them, wearing a red robe, with a face as gaunt as a mummy, slowly spoke: "Qin Anlong and Li Kai... 'Holy War' failed."
Ruan Maoshan, High Priest of the Evolution Divine Teachings in the Thirteenth District.
Due to You Chong's silence, almost all decisions were made by him.
After he spoke, the other non-human aliens did not react much.
'Holy War' failure was also a common occurrence for them, after all, losing rationality, attacking indiscriminately, the pre-defined targets of the 'Holy War' might not be fulfilled. Even if it failed, the fear the 'Holy War' instilled was enough to make everyone proud.
Thus, someone spoke up.
"How many did Qin Anlong kill? His power isn't low, a Level Thirty Four, and after evolving to the Mature Body, his strength became even more terrifying." The speaker was a non-human alien with his chin connected to his neck, covered with numerous spots.
Not a single hair on his forehead, instead, variously sized fleshy nodules, with holes occasionally emitting hot air.
Corrupted by pollutant traits, each non-human alien's form was different, unpredictable, uncontrollable.
Ruan Maoshan's face changed several times, saying somberly, "Not a single one!"
With that statement.
The grimaced faces of the non-human aliens finally showed expressions of shock.
"How is that possible?"
"With his power and hatred towards the Ninth District, he should have seized the opportunity to massacre, how could he not kill even one, this is too ridiculous."
"Was he perhaps discovered in advance by Pei Jing?"
"That shouldn't be, Pei Jing's power is said to have been falling, yet managed to easily handle Qin Anlong?"
"Or was Qin Anlong immediately besieged by all Apostle Level in the Ninth District?"
As they spoke.
The crowd couldn't help but grow agitated.
Wasting the life of a Mature Body for nothing, not killing anyone.
Saying it aloud was a disgrace.
Thus, each became indignant, ready to head to the Ninth District, intent on washing away the disgrace of the Thirteenth District Evolution Divine Teachings with blood!
"Silence!" Ruan Maoshan stopped their quarrel, sweeping his cold eyes over them: "One of the reasons I summoned you here."
"Let's vote, decide whether to continue with the 'Holy War' against the Ninth District."
"Of course!"
"No need to vote, I dare anyone to say no!"
"When Lord You Chong wakes, if he finds we've disgraced the Evolution Divine Teachings, we'll pay dearly, each and every one of us!"
"In that case, we'll draw lots to decide which group will act." Ruan Maoshan concluded, then continued: "Next, let's discuss the second issue: how's the negotiation with the City Lord's Mansion regarding the price of beast meat?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The non-human alien responsible for negotiating with the City Lord's Mansion stood up: "Those three women, truly infuriating, they won't budge, want us to sell below the Ninth District's price, or they'll order from there!"
"Again with the Ninth District, are they trying to push us to extinction!" someone gritted their teeth and said.
Others were equally enraged by the City Lord's Mansion's actions: "Do those three women need a lesson, do they think the Thirteenth District is theirs, utterly absurd! Without our covert assistance, they are nothing!"
"True, but we still need them to cover many things, don't forget, the Supreme Court maniacs are watching closely." Another spoke more calmly.
Ruan Maoshan paced around.
This was yet another difficult problem, with no immediate solution, so they moved to the next topic.
"How about the Conservative Faction investigation?"
Presently, the backing forces of the Ninth District's cleaning company were emerging, many speculate it's the Evolution Divine Teachings.
But they know it cannot be the actions of a specific base, such actions could not get top-level authorization.
Yet whatever the case may be, there seems to be a connection with the Evolution Divine Teachings.
The only possibility is — the Conservative Faction of the Evolution Divine Teachings.
The so-called Conservative Faction attempts to find all methods to maintain rationality under the pretext of evolving with pollutant traits.
Initially within the Evolution Divine Teachings.
It was essentially all Conservative Faction.
After all, who doesn't want to maintain rationality?
But the path was too difficult, to the point of despair.
Thus, many from the Conservative Faction couldn't persist, hopeless persistence is pointless, better to indulge, live in the moment, let reason be damned!
Gradually, they turned into the Radical Faction.
The two factions once clashed violently in philosophical conflict.
In an irreconcilable move, the Radical Faction enacted a deranged action, slaughtering the Conservative Faction, maybe only bloodshed could make these people realize.
Pollutant traits' resistance is the supreme force.
Every bit of rationality is futile, otherwise why were people with such high rationality invaded by the Ten Thousand Realms' creatures?
Thus, the remaining Conservative Faction exited the historical stage.
Now, the emergence of the cleaning company made them consider a question — has the Conservative Faction revived?
"We've captured a Conservative Faction member."
A burly non-human alien, brimming with explosive power, said.
