A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 412 Mr. Error Encountered an Accident? No, He Was Moved to a Different Position
Chu Zihang and Su Xi, who were on a mission in New York, suddenly discovered that the fifth generation of the race was wreaking havoc in Times Square. They rushed over and killed the fifth generation race before it could cause more bloodshed.

Before Chu Zihang, who had instantly killed the fifth-generation species, could say anything, he saw the illusory gray mist spreading in front of him, and at the same time he could hear Mr. Fool's announcement of "a gathering in ten minutes".

Chu Zihang looked around Times Square, which was ablaze everywhere, and used his control over the flames to extinguish them as inconspicuously as possible.

Susie walked up and gave him an inquiring look. Chu Zihang nodded in tacit agreement, indicating that he had also received the same notification, which made the executive department specialists following behind Chu Zihang look at each other in bewilderment.

Wait, what happened to the team and the Iron Knight having the best synergy? How come in this aspect, they, who are part of the team, are not as good as Susie, who is outside the team? Is that right?

Chu Zihang arranged for his team members to patrol the area and rescue people. After that, he and Susie flew to the rooftop to prepare to go up into the gray fog to participate in this impromptu gathering.

Both of them had the same premonition that Mr. Fool would only call them together on Mondays, as was his custom.

The sudden request for their attendance suggests that something significant has occurred. Combined with the five-generation corpses that have suddenly appeared and are wreaking havoc in Times Square, Chu Zihang and Su Xi have a premonition that something terrible is about to happen.

Ten minutes later, the crimson spread precisely on time. When they came to their senses, they were already sitting in their respective bronze seats. Chu Zihang and Chen Motong were the first to realize that this gathering was different from the past!

The first seat on the left, to Chu Zihang's left and directly opposite Chen Motong, was surprisingly empty.

Mr. Error? Absent from the meeting? He was actually absent?!

Chu Zihang and Chen Motong were both very worried about Xu Lie. Logically speaking, such an unusual impromptu gathering must have foreshadowed some major event, and all members would definitely participate. How could anyone be absent?

Unless, some kind of accident occurs.

The two men's attention to the first seat on the left was quite significant, attracting the attention of the other members. Upon seeing this, everyone also began to worry about Xu Lie.

"Ahem." Xu Lie noticed that the other members were staring intently at his original seat, so he had to speak up to remind them that he was there.

The members looked in the direction of the sound and found that Xu Lie was sitting at the other end of the bronze table, facing Mr. Fool directly. At first glance, it looked like kings facing kings.

Even seated at the head of the table, Fortress Benedict was still pondering whether this counted as a tribute—a tribute to the true fool and the world.

However, the members below had no time to think about anything else; they were simply overwhelmed by the sight of Xu Lie, who had switched places.

"Huh?" Even someone as calm as Chu Zihang couldn't help but open his mouth wide and utter a question.

“Wrong, wrong, wrong…” Susie raised her hand to Xu Lie, wanting to say something, but the words got stuck in her throat.

Fingel's answer was the simplest and most direct: "Lying down and blanching."

Aso was initially stunned, but then she remembered a secret Xu Lie had told her, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

Chen Motong was the busiest of all the members. The moment she saw Xu Lie sitting opposite Mr. Fool, she immediately entered audience mode, her eyes darting back and forth frantically.

He kept glancing at Mr. Fool, then staring intently at Xu Lie. He was worried that Mr. Fool might do something to Xu Lie, and he was also curious about why Xu Lie had changed his position. His eyes were constantly darting around.

Erii was the quietest one. She didn't think there was anything wrong with changing seats at all. Instead, she wondered why everyone seemed so surprised. It was just changing seats, after all.
Xu Lie took in all the members' reactions and was actually quite happy. Even though he hadn't spent much time with the members on a daily basis, they all cared about him.

So Xu Lie's tone softened with his mood: "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Fool, and thank you all for your concern. Just ten minutes ago, I was lucky enough to break through the limitations of Sequence 1 and advance to the pinnacle of the sequence, Sequence Zero."

"?" This time, all the members had the same expression: confusion. Breaking through the limitations of Sequence 1? Reaching the pinnacle of the sequence? That sounds incredible!

"Tuk-tuk."

The members turned their heads at the sound and looked at Mr. Fool. Bao Lie smiled and tapped the bronze table lightly: "I didn't tell you before because you couldn't advance to Sequence Zero like Mr. Error."

"In theology, we usually refer to the zero at the end of the sequence as the true God."

"And above the true God is the order that our church follows—the Old Day."

Chen Motong was utterly shocked, so shocked that he was out of his daze. Sequence Zero? The ancient times above the sequence?!
This was completely different from what Chen Motong had expected. When she heard Mr. Fool say that the Old Church needed a large number of Sequence 1 Extraordinaries to reconcile the contradictions left behind by the Old Church with the universe, she thought that the highest possible path was Sequence 1.

To put it bluntly and disrespectfully, Chen Motong initially thought that Mr. Fool was a strongman of Sequence 1.

It turns out that Sequence 1 is not the end of the Old Path; above Sequence 1, there is actually a Sequence 0! Furthermore, Mr. Fool says that Sequence 0 is equal to the true God!
If Mr. Error, who has advanced to the zeroth rank, can sit opposite Mr. Fool, then isn't Mr. Fool also a true god?!
Chu Zihang and Su Xi were both infected by Fingel, and the three of them exclaimed in unison, "Holy crap!" Shocked, this secret was simply too shocking! Mr. Error, the Mr. Error they knew, had actually become a god quietly and without a sound?
Erii was simply happy for Xu Lie, while Nuwa looked at Xu Lie with great surprise, never expecting that an extraordinary person could have such a wonderful future as becoming a god.

Aso was the most excited, because it meant that from now on, the deity worshipped in the Tokyo diocese was the true God.

After the initial shock, the members gradually realized that this sequence zero seemed to have little to do with them.

They had actually noticed that Mr. Fool said, "They can't be like Mr. Error..." which is why Mr. Fool didn't tell them at first.

The meaning is quite clear: Mr. Error is special, while others are not special enough to become gods.

The members recalled Xu Lie's 'confession' about his past, saying that he had been weak and suffered from headaches since childhood, which was caused by the fusion of ancient remnants of power at birth.

Later, with the help of Mr. Fool and the Old Church, Xu Lie was able to master this power and was no longer weak and suffering from headaches.

Members like Chen Motong and Finger, who are quick-thinking, have already deduced that Xu Lie's ability to become a god is most likely related to the ancient remnant power he fused with at birth.
In other words, those who did not receive this unique legacy from the past are destined to be estranged from the true God.

From his position, Bao Lie could better observe everyone's expressions. Taking advantage of the cover of the gray fog, he could openly and carefully examine the details of each member's expression and found that although everyone was a little disappointed, no one had any feelings of jealousy.

It seems that everyone has a kind of open-mindedness, accepting whatever comes their way.

This is not difficult to understand.

"Why him and not me?" Some members might think this, and such fleeting thoughts may arise. This is a very real moment in human nature, and it is perfectly understandable and human nature.

But they would let it go after a short while. Things left over from the past are beyond their control, just like how someone wins the lottery every month, but all the other lottery players just think about it and move on.

Some members didn't care at all. For example, Chu Zihang might have craved the power of a true god before rescuing Chu Tianjiao. But after rescuing Chu Tianjiao, Chu Zihang's pursuit and obsession with power had actually decreased a lot.

For example, girls like Susie and Erii don't have much of a desire for power.

“It seems you’ve already figured it out.” Forre spoke again: “When Mr. Error was born, he incorporated the ‘godlike characteristics’ left over from the past.”

As early as when the main body discovered that Sequence 1 could reconcile the conflict between the nine source substances and the universe, Xu Lie told Bao Lie that there was no need to make the members become gods. At most, cultivating the members to Sequence 1 would satisfy Xu Lie's needs.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Bao Lie doesn't need to provide a detailed and accurate explanation of uniqueness; he can just give a perfunctory answer.

"Without the 'godlike characteristics' left over from the past, extraordinary individuals cannot cross the final hurdle and advance to Sequence Zero."

"Given that Mr. Error has successfully ascended to godhood, I discussed with him the possibility of adjusting his seating arrangement at the gathering."

The members accepted the seating arrangement quite naturally. Didn't you hear Mr. Fool say the word "discuss"?

This shows that Mr. Error is now on equal footing with Mr. Fool, and they are equals. It is only natural that Mr. Error should move to sit opposite Mr. Fool.

Xu Lie could not remain silent at this moment. He liked the atmosphere of the gathering very much, and he could not ruin this friendly atmosphere after he became a god: "I still have to thank Mr. Fool and the church."

“If I hadn’t been found and taught by Mr. Fool and the church, and given the resources for advancement, I might have died long ago from the pain caused by the ‘divinity characteristics’, and I would never have had the chance to ascend to godhood.”

The members subconsciously began to clap, both to congratulate Mr. Mistake on becoming a god and to rejoice that he remained peaceful, even after becoming a god, he did not turn his back on people after achieving his goal.

As the applause subsided, Fingel couldn't help but look at Xu Lie, eager to ask him many questions about the gods.

How could Bao Lie allow it?

Immediately, he tapped the bronze table twice, making Fingel's face turn awkward. Bao Lie smiled and said with relief, "This impromptu gathering is for two reasons: first, to celebrate Mr. Error's ascension to godhood; and second, to celebrate the Black King's resurgence and the global dragon plague."

Fingel, who was initially curious and wanted to ask questions, and who was unaware of the situation because he had taken members of the news club to skip school, was shocked. A global dragon plague?

Chu Zihang and Su Qian quickly exchanged glances, recalling the fifth-generation beast they had killed before the meeting. Could it be the Dragon Disaster that Mr. Fool had mentioned?
Chen Motong, who was in Italy, and Aso Makoto, who was guarding Tokyo/the mainland, both raised their hands, as they were quite aware of this.
