Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 25 Planning

Ultimately, Truman did not preside over the so-called thirty-day Mass.

He brought the hidden angel to his stone house.

"You've come." Lilith, with a cold expression, sat on a stone stool and looked at the two people who walked in.

She stared at the hidden angel for a long time, then looked at Truman and said in a commanding tone, "I want a clone like that too."

"I'll make you my pope too." But she quickly realized the problem with her tone, softened her tone, and made the promise.

Truman didn't mind, but his expression was a little strange. "Wake up, you're just a vampire now."

Vampires are not church-affiliated, so naturally they have no pope.

But to be honest, I'm a little tempted. After all, the Church of the Earth will also be a righteous church, one of the mainstream faiths, and it's in no way inferior to the Church of the Night.

For him, the position of Pope is not just a crown, but also the countless believers who can give him more power to leverage the Book of Dreams.

"They're vampires," Lilith corrected. "It won't take long."

"We'll see when the time comes." Truman did not refuse, while the goddess remained calm. She already knew that her Pope also served as the Dream Angel under the Sun God.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, and at the same time, try to bring some future bigwigs onto your chariot.

This is Truman's strategy for survival in this era.

Otherwise, given his "Purifier" trait, if the Ancient Gods discovered him, they might not even care about the Book of Dreams and would directly attack him if they went berserk!

Among the ancient gods, there are two who dare to touch the source matter!

The Imaginary Dragon was corrupted by the Chaos Sea, and the Phoenix Ancestor was even more ruthless, directly diverting a tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness.

As for these people who are now collaborators, the ancient sun god goes without saying; before the Fourth Age, He was the biggest backer.

After the Third Age, the two true gods will probably be able to protect themselves.

Given the inability to quickly become a god through extraordinary characteristics, this is the best choice.

The goddess approached Lilith, who remained expressionless, though Truman could sense her nervousness; even the flower wreath on her head seemed to gleam more brightly.

She saw that resolute and ruthless scythe before she faked her death.

"Ahem, the meeting's in session!" Truman called out at the opportune moment, breaking the silent standoff.

The Book of Dreams in his hand flashed, and the magnificent scene of the dreamlike heaven flashed in the eyes of the human, the ghost, and the angel.

The next moment they were sitting in a dreamlike palace.

Sasriel was also summoned and immediately entered this place.

Another dream council.

The last time the four gathered, it led to the complete demise of two ancient gods and the rise of the ancient sun god to the stage of history. This time, it will surely have a profound impact on the future world order.

"You go first," Truman said, gesturing directly to Sasriel, who was also the convener of the meeting.

"I am preparing to reveal the potion sequence to the world." Sasriel dropped a bombshell right from the start.

"The sequence has been made public..." Once this sequence is made public, the ancient sun god will be firmly established in the hearts of mankind as the awakened creator, and will truly be ranked above the ancient gods.

Moreover, what was revealed this time was probably the same as what Hermes took away—low-to-medium sequence knowledge. To truly obtain knowledge of demigods or higher, one would have to submit to the ancient sun god or pay a price ten or a hundred times greater than the corresponding knowledge.

In this way, it wouldn't take many years for the power of the ancient sun god to grow to the point where it could crush the ancient gods.

"Knowledge monopoly is a recipe for huge profits..." Truman exclaimed.

"Aren't you afraid that the Ancient Gods will be on guard and unite to deal with you first?" Lilith asked after a moment of silence.

This time, the ancient gods were all injured to varying degrees and their condition was unstable. It could be said that this was the most dangerous time for them. Facing life and death, the ancient gods might indeed unite to fight against the ancient sun god.

"It's impossible. What the ancient gods need most now is time to heal their wounds. Unless my lord takes back all authority and launches a divine war, the ancient gods cannot unite." Sasriel was very confident.

The ancient sun god probably verified this through some mysterious means.

The goddess suddenly raised her hand, looked at Sasriel, and then at Truman, "My Church of the Night will also officially integrate into this world."

Truman nodded slightly; as the Pope of the Church of the Night, he naturally had to make a gesture.

"..." Sasriel glanced at Truman, "You're still my master's dream angel..."

But he shook his head, already having a plan in mind: "I will avoid the nighttime route, but you cannot involve other sequences."

As he spoke, he glanced at Truman, who sat upright, ignoring everything and saying nothing.

This is already the biggest concession Sassril has made to its partners.

"Thank you." The goddess nodded gently; receiving such a promise was already quite good.

Ultimately, He is not yet a true god and cannot negotiate with the ancient sun god who controls all sequence knowledge.

As for Lilith, she's still just a vampire.

"When are you planning to make your move?" Truman brought up another matter.

"We'll talk about it when all the ancient gods have recovered. My lord will end their era when they are at their strongest," Sasriel said slowly, leaving the goddess and Lilith silent.

This one sentence brought them immense pressure.

No one doubts that the sun god can do it; it's just a matter of time.

This likely means that even if they become gods in the future, they may still be overshadowed by the sun god.

This was something I had anticipated before the collaboration, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"This process could take hundreds of years, and many things cannot be decided now," Truman said, ending the topic.

"Now it's time for the transaction." Truman looked at Sasriel. "Do you possess the 'Trojan Horse of Destiny' properties?"

Sasriel nodded slightly.

"Then let's make an exchange!" Truman took out a Sequence 2 property from the Alien King.

"Okay." Sasriel did not refuse. Now that he thinks about it, he probably had most of the "wrong" paths in his hands.

"Excellent!" Truman's spirits lifted. He had a particular fondness for the three mysterious pathways, and now that he had obtained the Sequence 2 characteristic of these three pathways, he could upgrade the Ancient Gloves!

"Unfortunately, there aren't any skilled craftsmen yet, so we have to do it ourselves."

The transaction concluded here. Sasriel was wealthy and powerful, and no one knew how many special abilities he possessed. The goddess had just mastered the Night Path and a small portion of the Fool Path, as had Lilith.

Truman was the poorest of them all.

"No, we need to build up some resources, preferably something with sequence-one characteristics and uniqueness!"

In fact, he also possesses a Sequence One trait, the "Divine Abomination" from the Alien King, and in fact, this is the most common trait he has.
