"With the power of the four Vatican cities weakened, many smaller churches will surely rise. It's probably not something a small church can do to create new people. Could Bai Ze be supporting her behind the scenes?"

The sound came from behind Lu Jing and Xiang Liu.

The two were taken aback at first, then turned their heads sharply.

Lin Mo sat up from the back seat and yawned lazily.

When did you get here?

"I've been here all along, you two just didn't notice."

Lin Mo pointed to her injured arm. She had been wounded during the battle and had simply bandaged it up in the car.

Lin Mo blinked her big, bright eyes. "So it seems that Bai Ze is actually the mastermind behind it all."

He led the Night's Watch of the European Union in a war against the four Vatican cities, but his real purpose was... to create a world populated only by newcomers and destroy the entire world!

Lu Jing and Xiang Liu exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.

That idea is a bit too crazy.

“Bai Ze isn’t crazy,” Xiang Liu said, “but it’s certain that he’s colluding with the Church of R'lyeh.”

Otherwise, given the size of the Church of R'lyeh, it wouldn't have been able to grow so rapidly in such a short time without backing. I will inform Qilin of this; it's a matter of great importance and not something we can interfere with lightly.

Bai Ze is the head of the European Union.

Even if he did something wrong, it's not something they can decide.

This matter must be told to the Qilin, who is of the same rank as Bai Ze.

Then it will be decided by Qilin...

Lu Jing felt a sense of suspicion.

Before coming, Qilin had secretly told Lu Jing to pay attention to the movements within the European Union.

If something goes wrong, the most likely culprit is the head of the European Union, Bai Ze.

In addition, in the Arctic instance, Tengu mentioned Bai Ze's name before he died.

Lu Jing gently tapped on the car window.

Bai Ze...

He recalled Bai Ze.

Would Bai Ze betray him? Would he betray the Night Watch?

Lu Jing was unsure, and he recalled several conversations he had had with Bai Ze.

"........."

Bai Ze lives underground.

Because of the existence of portals, humans once considered moving underground.

However, the plan failed, but the underground structures were preserved.

Later, as more and more awakened beings appeared and their levels increased, newborn babies also began to become awakened beings.

Humanity gained the courage to fight against dungeons, and the underground was abandoned.

However, some people are still left homeless due to the destruction caused by monsters in the dungeon.

It was placed underground.

Bai Ze grew up there, which is quite a coincidence.

His home is just one street away from Zhuque.

That was probably one of the most chaotic periods in human history.

Portals kept appearing, humanity's power was limited, cults were rampant, and even the government was temporarily paralyzed.

The laws governing awakened individuals are also inadequate, allowing those with power to act with impunity.

Killing a few people is no burden at all.

They kill people and casually throw them into the portal, or they simply fabricate that the person was killed by a monster that came out of the portal.

No one would be able to find out, and of course, no one would care about the life or death of others during this period.

This situation is even more severe in the underground world.

Beep beep beep~

That was the sound of water droplets falling into the bowl.

As a child, Bai Ze looked up at the water tap.

We hoped he could produce a little more water, but it was clear that there was only so much left.

As he walked back with the bowl in his hands, he saw a little girl who lived on the next street and was the same age as him.

Bai Ze recognized the other person, but couldn't recall their name.

Three days later, a group of thugs broke into the girl's home and killed her mother.

Bai Ze's mother and the other party's mother used to have a good relationship.

The mother asked Bai Ze to bring some food to the girl.

Bai Ze saw the woman riddled with bullet holes and the girl squatting beside her.

Bai Ze put down the food, unsure of what to say.

The girl asked Bai Ze, "What is the meaning of life?"

Bai Ze was unable to answer.

The next day, he worried that the girl might do something rash.

So he went to the girl's house under the pretext of delivering something, but what he saw was a scene he would never forget.

The girl's deceased mother opened the door for him, a gentle smile on her face.

The scene terrified young Bai Ze so much that he wet his pants on the spot, because of yesterday.

He also saw the woman's body riddled with bullet holes, and her corpse had already begun to decompose.

Bai Ze was so frightened that he turned and ran away. After he got home, he told his family about it.

The parents thought he was talking nonsense, and Bai Ze took them to the girl's house.

But by then, the girl and her mother had already disappeared.

That was the first time Bai Ze doubted the world.

Does this mean there really is a God in this world? Someone who can resurrect a dead person?

Young Bai Ze sat at the door of the girl's house, while a television screen nearby broadcast a news report.

A level A dungeon has appeared, and the monsters inside have rushed out and killed more than 300 people.

If... if there really is a God, why can't He destroy all of this?

Chapter 197 Announcing Your Return

In this vast and boundless world, do gods truly exist?

Young Bai Ze often pondered this question alone.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name]

Every time night falls and the stars twinkle, he would look up at the endless sky, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.

If gods truly exist, then why do they remain unmoved in the face of so much suffering and injustice in the world?

Why can't we use our divine power to change this devastated landscape?

Not long ago, Bai Ze's father left home to work in the world above.

However, when Bai Ze finally had the chance to learn about the so-called "world above," he was surprised to find that it was not a beautiful paradise either.

Anytime, anywhere, a hideous and terrifying monster could suddenly appear, bringing immense panic and disaster to the people.

The numerous portals are like unhealable wounds, scattered throughout the city.

The Awakeners Guild is using its powerful influence to pressure the government and initiate negotiations.

They made a series of unreasonable demands, and if the government did not agree, the Awakeners Association threatened to continue the strike and no longer fulfill its responsibility to protect the people.

At this moment, Bai Ze walked slowly down the deserted street, his eyes meeting a desolate scene.

Abandoned vehicles, utterly destroyed by monsters, were parked haphazardly along the roadside. The once towering buildings had collapsed and crumbled, as if telling the story of that thrilling battle in the past.

The shops on both sides of the street had their doors and windows tightly closed, and the once bustling crowds were nowhere to be seen, leaving only a desolate street scene and fallen leaves fluttering in the wind.

Not long after arriving in the mortal world, Bai Ze's father died in a catastrophe.

Only he, his mother, and his younger sister remained at home.

Bai Ze did not show the grief one would expect from his father's death.
