Chapter 1241: Chapter 576: A New Line of Thought
"Tide Master Brain, does Liang’s dark attribute skills have a way to be resolved?"
Hu Zhong opened his mouth to ask.
Inside the Tide Master Brain, electric arcs flashed, and three brains operated at high speed.
A moment later, it said: "Based on the current conditions of the Water God Cult, there are three methods to resolve the [Dark Abyss Mouth]."
"One method is to forcibly tear apart the Dark Abyss Mouth with light attribute energy, allowing free entry and exit from the shadow world."
"The second method is to use a Dark Attribute Superpower User as a medium to open the Dark Abyss Mouth with their assistance."
"The third method is to use a Sealing Rune to prohibit the operation of dark attribute energy, causing fissures in the shadow world."
These three methods correspond to three different superpowers.
Those present exchanged glances, and Hu Zhong asked in confusion: "Do we have a Light Attribute Superpower User on our island?"
Tide Master Brain: "In the Water God Cult’s list on Denggong Mountain, there is one named Yan Yiqiao, main attribute is 50 points. Due to the lack of a light attribute genetic species in the cult, she has not been able to break through and cannot reside in the Miyuan Rainforest, which can be heavily cultivated."
Inside the Tide Master Brain, it holds all the information of Water God Cult’s personnel, and its immense mental capacity is enough to store vast amounts of data.
Knowledge Priest Hu Zhong immediately said: "Yan Yiqiao... Captain Liang Long, do you have any impression?"
Liang Long nodded slightly: "I do have some impression; when selecting the Water God Maid, it seems like I saw her, but she wasn’t a Water Attribute Superpower User, so she didn’t make it in. Didn’t expect she would still be at Denggong Mountain."
"I’ll have someone find her later."
Wu Wenfang said: "Then for the second dark attribute, does our Water God Cult have such superpower users too?"
Immediately, the Tide Master Brain provided another list.
"There are two dark attribute superpower users, named Yang Jian and Li Na."
"Yang Jian’s main attribute is 43 points, Li Na’s main attribute is 45 points; both reside on Denggong Mountain. These two have undergone gill-lung fusion surgery modification and currently haven’t joined the Drowning Spirit Guard or Abyssal Stalker teams, mainly living off salvaging old world metals."
Hu Zhong nodded slightly, having no impression of these two people.
Dark attribute superpower users inherently have low presence, and aren’t particularly important figures, so it’s normal they haven’t been noticed.
Wu Wenfang said: "I will immediately have someone find these two and conduct a thorough baptism on them."
The so-called thorough baptism refers to deep brainwashing.
Water God Cult’s Knowledge Priest Hu Zhong excels particularly in this.
He belongs to the Spirit Ability User, and his ability is called [Spirit Baptism].
After awakening the genetic species, this ability became even more powerful, allowing widespread spiritual brainwashing.
The rapid expansion of the Water God Cult is largely due to the contributions of him and Han Tai.
"The Sealing Rune can prohibit superpower energy; essentially, it can seal dark attribute energy—this method I also have thought of," Liang Long said.
He immediately asked: "How many Sealing Talisman Stones do we have left?"
"Tide Master Brain, how many Sealing Talisman Stones are left in the warehouse?" Hu Zhong quickly asked.
Tide Master Brain: "There is a total of 9221 pieces of Sealing Talisman Stone weapons."
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That’s quite sufficient."
"Everything is ready; just waiting for contact with the other three parties, then we can give Yangshan’s Liang a decisive blow."
"Once he is dead, the resources of Yangshan will entirely belong to us," Liang Long said gleamingly.
He exchanged a glance with Hu Zhong, and both laughed.
Only Wu Wenfang remained deep in thought, among the three, only he had faced Liang Yuan directly.
For some reason, he always felt that Liang wasn’t that simple.
Only when facing him directly can one feel that terrifying pressure.
At the same time, at the Earth Mother Sect, Yellow Earth Divine Origin.
In the discussion hall, seven people were sitting in their seats, each looking very grim, the atmosphere heavy.
The Fertile Soil Department, Root Legacy Institute, Bountiful Circle, Seasonal Priests, four functional departments, seven leading figures gathered here.
The Fertile Soil Department belongs to the construction department, led by Shi Lianhai.
The Root Legacy Institute is somewhat similar to the Water God Cult’s Abyss Archive, amending history, repackaging the Earth Mother Sect beliefs and responsible for recording various events, training clergy, etc. The department head is a woman in her thirties, named Shu Zhanyue.
The Bountiful Circle is responsible for the allocation of materials, managing miscellaneous church affairs with some decision-making power, and led by Guan Maocai, somewhat holding partial financial authority.
As for the structure of the Seasonal Priests, it is somewhat similar to the Water God Cult.
These Seasonal Priests naturally divide into the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter—nominally overseeing the seasonal ceremonies, but each with its own functions.
Among them, the Spring Priest Li Chunhua oversees agricultural cultivation, with a function similar to Yangshan’s Agriculture Department. He is also a Wood Attribute Superpower User.
Summer Priest Xia Yutian manages the island’s water infrastructure and is a Water Attribute Superpower User.
Autumn Priest Wu Qiuyue is the only woman among the four great priests and belongs to the earth attribute type of superpower user.
Winter Priest Wu Dongdong, is also a very special person among the four great priests, with a superpower that is ice attribute!
Upon hearing that Mist City might be an ice attribute Floating Island, he personally dispatched Evangelical Mission personnel to this place to seize that floating island.
If it weren’t for simultaneously striving for the Yellow Earth Divine Origin floating island at that time, he would surely have gone in person.
At this moment, these seven people represent the seven top positions in the Earth Mother Sect.
"Have you finished reading?"
Seated at the chief seat, the leader of the Fertile Soil Department, Shi Lianhai, asked in a deep voice.
After he spoke, the Winter Priest Wu Dongdong at the farthest seat put down the slip of paper in his hand, asking gravely, "How could this happen?"
"Why has such a major event outside only been communicated here now?" The Autumn Priest Wu Qiuyue asked angrily.
Shu Zhanyue of the Root Inheritance Institute said blandly, "Based on my obtained clues, it should be the son of the Forest Bishop Lin Tianci who incited the leaders of River Valley Elders, Desert Watcher, and Evangelical Mission."
"And the purpose? Is Lin Tianci an idiot? Doesn’t he investigate? Liang has already surpassed 100 points; why haven’t they been alerted to such crucial information?" The Spring Priest Li Chunhua couldn’t help but curse.
Summer Priest Xia Yutian responded calmly, "What’s strange about it? Lin Tianci is the son of the former Forest Bishop Lin Guangqun. He’s focused on avenging his father. Why would he care about anything else?"
"I’m just curious, with the brains of Qi Hongwen, He Mingzhi, and Fang Hao, they shouldn’t be this foolish."
At this moment, Guan Maocai, the manager of the Ring of Abundance, spoke up.
This was a middle-aged man with a small stature and a brush mustache.
He pinched his mustache and said, "It’s not hard to speculate; both the Water God Sect and the Spiritual Ability Sect have already taken action. They moved quickly upon hearing the news."
"After all, Yangshan possesses two Floating Islands, particularly the Spatial Floating Island, whose potential rivals even our Yellow Earth Divine Origin."
"In essence, this could be a standalone Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, likely impervious to flood invasion and void of constant torrential rains."
"Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a place?"
"We must recognize one key detail from this incident."
"It shows our grasp over the believers on Cangfu Mountain is too lax!"
"The Forest Bishop, River Valley Elders, Desert Watcher, Evangelical Mission—these mid-tier institutions meant for our control collaborated to deceive us."
"Isn’t this scenario more terrifying?"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly awoke to this realization, and their expressions changed dramatically.
These mid-tier institutions stationed at Cangfu Mountain had now gone behind their backs with disastrous results.
Guan Maocai was the only one among the seven who had previously held a position in government.
Among the seven, he was considered second-ranked.
The Ring of Abundance controlled a vast amount of resources from the Earth Mother Sect, aside from Shi Lianhai of the Fertile Soil Department relying on strength to be the strongest present.
The other attendees, their combat abilities were roughly equal, with main attributes reaching 100 points.
However, in terms of administrative ability and management skills, no one here could match Guan Maocai.
Years ago, when the Earth Mother Sect seized the Yellow Earth Divine Origin from multiple forces such as the Spiritual Ability Sect, Guan Maocai’s contribution was indispensable.
Because of his strategic alliances and persuasions, the Earth Mother Sect ultimately gained control over the Yellow Earth Divine Origin.
Now, the Heart Core of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin was refined by Shi Lianhai.
The Brain Core was refined by Guan Maocai.
It can be said that they were the genuine controllers of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin.
His remarks at this moment made everyone suddenly enlightened and solemn.
For someone like Guan Maocai, who navigated institutions, the greatest danger often came not from the outside but from within.
This feeling of losing control beneath him was what made his heart most afraid.
This is a concern for all high-level individuals.
Shi Lianhai asked, "Old Guan, do you have any good solutions?"
Guan Maocai replied, "It’s not a bad thing that Lin Tianci’s people died on Yangshan. It’s a chance to reorganize institutions, place people, and control Cangfu Mountain."
"This matter is not difficult; within half a month, I can regain control of Cangfu Mountain."
Shi Lianhai nodded slightly, and then asked, "And how should this Liang from Yangshan be dealt with?"
"His main attributes are also at 100 points; his territory and population are no less than ours. With fully fledged wings, he’s difficult to suppress."
"My suggestion is to try negotiating; their grievances should be considered settled with Lin Tianci dead by his hands."
"Not seeking trouble with them is already our greatest concession. He should not lack appreciation of what is good."
Guan Maocai’s words made the people there frown deeply, clearly not comprehending his thoughts.
Shu Zhanyue of the Root Inheritance Institute stated directly, "Teacher Guan, how can this be allowed? Even if Lin Tianci and his kind are disobedient and deserve punishment, that’s our issue. How could outsiders deal with it?"
"Exactly, Teacher Guan; if this spreads, what about the dignity of our Earth Mother Sect?" Spring Priest Li Chunhua couldn’t help but say.
Although Shi Lianhai said nothing, his gaze towards Guan Maocai carried a hint of doubt.
Guan Maocai smiled slightly and asked, "You’re correct, but what do you think the Spiritual Ability Sect and the Water God Sect will do?"
"Of course, strike, kill Liang, and share Yangshan’s resources!" Shu Zhanyue said bluntly.
Guan Maocai nodded slightly, smiling, "But Yangshan’s strength is likely no small feat."
"Water God Sect and Spiritual Ability Sect will almost certainly rally everyone to jointly combat Yangshan Liang Yuan."
"At this moment, if we tactically retreat and manage to ally with Yangshan Liang Yuan, and if we heavily damage the Water God Sect and Spiritual Ability Sect in this battle, what do you think we stand to gain?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
No one expected that just a moment ago, while everyone discussed how to strike Liang Yuan of Yangshan, Guan Maocai opened his mind to prepare an assault on the Water God Sect and Spiritual Ability Sect!
