Familiar scenery, familiar people, but this time, it is a completely different contrast in status.
"...Elder Liu, long time no see."
Still the familiar lake, the familiar gigantic face, but this time, there is no gentle and warm wind.
Wailong State, Moon Dragon Island has already become the frontline, even here, Lu Ping’an can smell the fishy and bloody scent.
"Hehe, indeed it has been a long time."
The returned Elder Liu, revealing a gentle smile...Just by looking at appearances, one would never guess that this was once a Deity, and part of his "body" is still strangling the Fishman around the sea area.
The Big Shot who has assimilated with the entire island, has become a stable keystones in the south of Eastern Country, his alone has the effect of a defense war zone.
"Your Excellency, I wonder what matter requires me to personally make the trip."
Lu Ping’an didn’t waste time, both of them are busy people, each with their own war zones.
Although here, it is just a Clone, but at this time, wasting power and energy meaninglessly is unacceptable.
Lu Ping’an’s words also had some hidden meanings.....Why not communicate through Lord Xiuyi directly, that would clearly be more convenient and faster.
And with her abilities, even if we meet privately, can we really avoid her information gathering capability?
".....Please rest assured, I have no complaints against Elder Xiuyi, it’s just that there are indeed some disagreements, and now, I need your support."
The Big Shot directly spoke, yet Lu Ping’an did not respond immediately, he listened patiently, but the more he listened, the more he frowned.
".....Have they gone mad? Intending to release super dangerous life forms and toxins directly into the ocean, completely turning it into the Dead Sea?"
Lu Ping’an furrowed his brows, isn’t Lin Nu’s Church a Proper God Church? Why does it seem like an apocalyptic Evil Church.
"Actually, in the internal resolution, it was four against three, the opposition faction has the advantage."
𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Obviously, in such a resolution meeting, only Quasi-Gods and above have the right to vote.
"Does it involve me?"
"Lady Lin Nu has not yet voted, and her one vote counts as at least two votes, possibly three."
This doesn’t represent a special privilege in the rules, but if Lin Nu makes a decision, many neutral and abstaining votes would likely change sides.
A piece of stone that floated up brought a document bag, inside the documents.....precisely speaking the components of special Demons and Poison Liquid, all make one doubt whether those people really want to exterminate humanity.
"Lady Lin Nu said, her vote, goes to you."
Lu Ping’an was stunned, then he suddenly understood.
This does not mean that Lin Nu really values him to the extent of doting. Entrusting such a crucial decision to Lu Ping’an... In such principled incidents, Lu Ping’an only had one option, and Lin Nu surely knew this.
This is just Lin Nu also making the same choice, then taking the opportunity to push Lu Ping’an onto the stage.
Elder Liu did not ask for Lu Ping’an’s decision, because such principled stances are well known to each other, some votes you know the result even if not cast, and some votes would give the same result even if cast a hundred thousand times.
"....What about Lord Xiuyi?"
Lu Ping’an pretty much asked a futile question, if Xiuyi also held the same stance, there was no need to avoid her for this contact.
"She is a radical among the Radicals, actually, I suspect she is the drafter, part of the Demons are obviously her handwriting...without her legion, there wouldn’t be three votes in favor."
This puzzled Lu Ping’an further, his memory of Lord Xiuyi was always of a gentle and rational old lady.
If he were to find the most trustworthy person within Lin Nu’s Church.... Lu Ping’an would only choose Lord Xiuyi, she appears to be a rare normal person among top Strongmen.
Now Elder Liu is actually saying this normal person is also from the Extreme Faction, making Lu Ping’an a bit confused.
"....She has been through a lot, a great amount."
Alright, Lu understood instantly, one look at the past Big Cat explained it.
The gentler the person, the more frightening they become when harsh; the more rational people become irrational, the more they are utterly impossible to reason with.
"Doesn’t this disapprove of it.....alright, I understand."
What the internal situation is like in Lin Nu’s power, outsiders may not understand, but wouldn’t he and Elder Liu know?
Probably Lord Xiuyi has long known her proposal would be rejected, when the current situation was not yet dire enough, directly initiating the "final plan" originally had no chance of passing.....personally passing it would definitely be vetoed as long as Lin Nu still holds the position of Proper God.
But she proposed it, perhaps as a "notification" that she was about to act..... such an existence, no one really could restrain her.
As far as Lu Ping’an himself observed, it’s feared that many Deities may not match her.
"...I understand, I’ll be careful. Do I need to notify the Eastern Country Official?"
"It would be best while you and some official are having tea, suddenly have to go to the lavatory, accidentally leave the document bag on the table, and just happen to have the seal broken, letting a part with writing on it to leak out....."
Elder Liu, still worried about Lu Ping’an being too young, directly taught the method of a "*stable leak*" understood by each other.
Lu Ping’an felt a bit of a headache...if next month he heard news of Lord Xiuyi leaving Lin Nu’s Church, establishing an Evil God Church, he wouldn’t be surprised at all.
"She recently made a rare move, it was a huge scene."
It appears, the hometown being attacked has directly angered that seemingly amicable old lady.
"How did I not realize?"
"The world linked to Mercury 42, Octopus’ Domain, directly had a small world completely become desolate. She and her Legion, should now have already advanced into the world of Octopus."
Lu Ping’an really hadn’t expected it, he thought that since the Earth’s homefront had incidents, Mercury 42 would take it slowly, especially since a lot of strength had already been pulled from there.
However, Elder Liu still had more unsaid, who has gone mad is not merely Xiuyi, Elder Liu himself is much harsher.
Octopus’ Domain, subject to attacks from Quasi-Gods and national-level Legions, at this moment, several Quasi-Gods made real moves, several linked worlds were destroyed, and Earth’s Legion in Mercury 42 also began an all-out attack.
Different from people like Lu Ping’an who grew up in the "Era of Peace", the older generation of warriors, who saw much more, also had long expected this day....they might have waited for this day too long, perhaps having simulated this day happening countless times.
"...Some words perhaps are not to be said by us, but we have witnessed the end of too many worlds. When the homefront is threatened, perhaps some excessive reactions are necessary, to cut off more hands..."
Lacking this kind of experience made Lu Ping’an suddenly realize, if the Multi-universe is seen as a jungle, a "Beast Nest" being attacked yet seemingly unaffected, will only be seen as a soft persimmon that can be hunted at will.
Mercury 42 like this, directly attacking the opponent’s homefront, that’s a justifiable counterattack.
Always just thinking about defending the homefront, one day it won’t hold.
Once a Plane linkage has opened, it’s difficult to completely sever.....but it can intimidate the other party, making them not dare to step over the Boundary.
At least, remind the opponent to consider the consequences before going mad.
"Somewhat extreme...but right now, it seems like we need more extremes."
