Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

The bird muttered to itself, revealing the true nature of this evil power.

Bai Lin quickly calmed down.

Zuo Chang looked at him and asked, "Who is your enemy?"

"The leader of the Divine Sound Society, the agent of Divine Sound."

Not impressed.

Zuo Chang asked, "Who is it?"

Bai Lin looked up at him with a puzzled expression: "Don't you know? Back then, the Church of Time, which spanned tens of thousands of communities, disintegrated and split into hundreds of organizations of different sizes. The Divine Sound Society was one of them, and one of only two 'orthodox' ones."

Zuo Chang was even more confused. Since it was none of his business, he asked, "Only two? What's the other one?"

"Book club".

Bai Lin provided the answer.

The confusion in his eyes grew more pronounced, and he couldn't help but ask, "General, how come you don't even know these things? Have you lost your memory?"

Zuo Chang shook his head: "I haven't lost my memory, I just don't care. The split in the Church of Time seems to be due to conflicting doctrines, right? Their core decision-makers disagreed on the meaning of the church's existence, which ultimately led to its destruction."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room exchanged bewildered glances.

Bai Lin couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Yes. You are the fuse that ignited the schism in the Church of Time."

"……what?"

Zuo Chang was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with me?"

The others were also taken aback, and they all turned their heads to look at Zuo Chang with suspicion.

Zuo Chang found their stares odd and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Asuka explained, “General, the disintegration of the Church of Time is closely related to you. Back then, the Church of Time could be said to be the most important organization in the ascended world. There were two factions within them: the control faction and the funding faction. The control faction believed that the church should actually control the community; the funding faction believed that their task was only to spread the gospel, not to demand control, but simply to maintain a good relationship with the leaders.”

Zuo Chang asked, "So?"

"You received strong support from the funding faction and subsequently won a series of victories, destroying several communities controlled by the control faction, which greatly exacerbated the conflict."

Asuka explained calmly.

Zuo Chang blinked frantically.

Mayumi also said, "Everyone thinks you are the sharpest knife in the hands of the funding faction, used specifically to slaughter the pigs of the control faction."

Ah this.

After marrying the Holy Maiden of Time and receiving financial support from the church, Zuo Chang did indeed work for the church, destroying several communities.

but……

He was clearly labeled a "heretic" back then, but nobody told him it was infighting!

He was somewhat helpless and annoyed: "What does this have to do with me? I'm just a thug, you can't just throw all sorts of accusations at me, can you?"

Asuka said, "The internal conflicts within the Church of Time have indeed existed for a long time, but the world generally believes that it was you who caused them to erupt."

Zuo Chang waved his hand: "What the world thinks doesn't matter. The key is for the people inside the Time Church to understand the principles. This is none of my business. I'm just a tool."

Am I right?

White scales.

Zuo Chang turned to look at Bai Lin, whose expression was indifferent.

He looked at Zuo Chang and said, “General, after the defeat in the God-Slaying War, I was immediately purged. The people I trusted betrayed me, and the mastermind behind it all was the leader of the Divine Sound Society—'Divine Sound Agent'. I’m not saying this to blame you, but everything I’ve suffered is inextricably linked to you.”

"..."

Zuo Chang remained silent.

He clearly remembered that in Qian Wuyi's dying threat, he explicitly said, "Shenyin will take over everything he owns."

That is to say...

He's being watched.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I have bad news for you. The Divine Sound Society has taken notice of me, and they will take over Qian Wuyou's legacy. If what you're saying is true, then we will soon face a rather severe challenge."

Bai Lin's eyes widened, and the power of the external path leaked out uncontrollably once again!

Zuo Chang patted his palms and said, "When things come to this, it's impossible to hide forever. No religious person is not fanatical; they won't let me go. But hiding for a while is still possible and necessary... Bai Lin, you need to control yourself for now."

Bai Lin concealed his aura: "General, what is your current situation? How many men do you have under your command?"

Zuo Chang pointed to a few items on the low table: "That's all."

"...With such a small number of people, I'm afraid they can't compete with the Divine Sound Society."

Bai Lin remained silent.

Asuka's expression was also grim: "The situation may be more complicated than we imagined. The Divine Sound Society is a genuine 'superior force.' Once they successfully take over Qian Wuyi's legacy and complete the integration, we may be forced to leave the Heavenly King's sphere of influence and seek development elsewhere in 96511."

The Divine Sound Society is one of the orthodox groups after the split of the Church of Light and Time, and their professional competence is beyond question.

One should not harbor any侥幸心理 (a sense of wishful thinking or taking chances).

Zuo Chang thought for a while and looked at Bai Lin: "After the church split, there are two orthodox schools, one is the Divine Sound School and the other is the Study School?"

Bai Lin nodded: "The church has two role models, one is the Divine Voice Agent, and the other is the Holy Maiden of Time. The two organizations they lead are naturally the two orthodox ones."

Zuo Chang then looked at Blood Rose: "The reading club has a branch in the mailbox department, which has been operating for two years and is quite prestigious, right?"

Blood Rose nodded: "Yes."

Zuo Chang immediately made the decision: "Let's move to the mailbox department."

Bai Lin didn't understand the situation here, so he didn't say anything and just listened.

Asuka nodded and said, "It's a good choice."

Money was lost, but not completely.

His intentions were too sinister, and he was hardly a decent person. He entrusted his business to the Shenyin Society before the game even started, which was obviously a trap for Zuo Chang.

Zuo Chang won, but not decisively.

The Black Goat's actions came too suddenly. Under the threat of the Divine Sound Society, there was probably no fertile ground for its development within the Heavenly King's Department, so it was forced to relocate.

By comparison……

A mailbox with a book club is the most suitable choice.

Zuo Chang left without any burden.

After all, he had only been in Tianwang City for less than half a month, and hadn't even really looked at the city properly. So what difference did it make where he went?

Even birds flying in the air bear some burden.

She invested slightly more in Tianwang City than Zuo Chang, but the layout had not yet been launched, so there was no damage to speak of.

In any case, it's just a waste of three months.

It was around 2 a.m.

The "Yaotai Clan" has already put away their belongings and prepared their vehicles. Once the members scattered throughout the city return, they can head to the mailbox department.

Zuo Chang stood in the flower-filled courtyard, looking at Bai Lin, who stood with his hands behind his back and chest out, his calm demeanor tinged with sadness: "You've really changed a lot, completely different from what I remember."

The white scales didn't react much.

In his memory, the Heavenly King General was not a gossip.

The general was ruthless and pragmatic, with an extremely strong sense of purpose, and he rarely said anything other than what was required for his mission.

At one point, Bai Lin even believed that the Heavenly King was not human.

Otherwise, how could he be as cold as ice, as hard as iron, and live like a precise and efficient machine?

He said, "General, you seem to have changed quite a bit too."

"Being defeated by the gods gave me many insights."

Zuo Chang could say these words without hesitation.

He looked at Bai Lin and said, "I now believe you are right."

Bai Lin frowned: "What?"

"Upright, generous, and gentle." Zuo Chang looked at him. "I think people should possess these qualities. In the past, I was too utilitarian. I only knew how to climb the ladder, but I didn't know how to be considerate, which hurt many people."

Bai Lin's brows furrowed even deeper!

He revealed a hint of disgust, clearly stating his position: "General, my thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours. Honesty, kindness, and gentleness are all useless; humans cannot understand each other! Some people can only be persuaded with an iron fist, and some words... are only listened to when accompanied by a knife!"

"..."

Zuo Chang looked at Bai Lin and remained silent for a moment.

He shook his head and said, "It seems that you have had a terrible year. I can't believe that someone who was once so sunny and was hailed as a 'model of chivalry' could say such dark things."

Bai Lin did not deny it: "I regret my past naiveté and immaturity. I understand you better now, General."

If someone familiar with their past were present, they would probably sigh and say that fate had played a cruel joke on them.

A man who only knew how to advance like a chariot and was regarded as a tyrant is now learning to accept kindness and compassion.

A fair, upright, and kind man, hailed as a paragon of chivalry, came to understand the value of cruelty.

only……

In Zuo Chang's view, he hasn't actually changed.

Bai Lin's past actions were truly valuable. Now, he is blinded by hatred and has forgotten what he should uphold.

Zuo Chang pondered for a moment, then said, "Bai Lin, I'm giving you a task."

"Please give your orders."

Zuo Chang looked at him and said, "Write a detailed report about the betrayal you suffered. I need to know what you went through."

Bai Lin frowned: "I'm not very willing to recall those things... If you want to hear, I can describe them simply."
