The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

……

No longer fighting with his daughter, Xue finally succeeded in creating the glittering fertilizer after a series of cutting, burning, alchemy, and magic.

Moreover, he also discovered something else noteworthy on the apostle's body.

The coordinates of the Ninth Apostle's home planet!

Xue's Law was stunned when he found this thing.

To go or not to go?

Xue Lude was shocked to learn that the Ninth Apostle's homeland was located there. He was even stunned for a moment after obtaining the coordinates.

However, reason prevailed over his adventurous thoughts. After all, tonight was the start of the new session of the Mist Council, and Xue Luding planned to explore the apostle's homeland after the Mist Council concluded.

All he knew was that the Ninth Apostle had killed the world consciousness of his home planet and taken its place, and from then on, he had turned his planet into a pasture capable of providing population and energy.

In fact, the Ninth Apostle's attitude toward his home planet was almost exactly the same as that of Zeus. If Zeus had successfully completed the creation of the world and seized power over it, he probably would have done the same thing as the Ninth Apostle.

As for whether Zeus would plant a tree if he knew about the divine tree.

He was willing to exterminate all the people of Greece in order to seize power over the world. What else wouldn't he do?

Who knows, he might even go and sow seeds wildly and reproduce, hanging all his offspring on the sacred tree.

Xue's Law never overestimates Zeus's morality, because he simply didn't have it.

So when the Ninth Apostle's actions resembled those of Zeus, Xue Lude panicked and resorted to the most ruthless methods to deal with him.

……

While Xue Lude was pondering the matter of the Ninth Apostle, Little Tree Girl seemed to have stopped clamoring to watch the German serial killer and was instead intently watching Ultraman.

Xue's Law is also under consideration.

After school, the house was just as usual. Aunt was cooking, Little Dragon Girl was watching TV, and White Crow and Siam were learning about plant cultivation and animal husbandry, respectively. They seemed to have found their own paths.

As for Fafnir, when she wasn't having a fit, she would always be studying in her study, working as hard as a high school senior, trying to make up for the six years of gap between junior high and high school in just one month.

After patting Xiaolongniang's head, ordering more professional books for Baiya and Siam online, and tutoring Fafnir, Xue Dinglu successfully returned to his bedroom, ready to enter the Mist Council.

……

Soon, his consciousness arrived in an unknown distance in the universe, in the same misty world, but this time, everyone's face was terribly gloomy.

"Number Nine, Tawi, is dead," the Sixth Apostle said, glancing at the newly arrived Xue Lude with a sinister air.

"Really? That's unfortunate," Xue replied calmly.

The Sixth Apostle ignored Xue's consciousness, it seems he was just bluffing, after all, he was the big boss of the Ninth Apostle.

Chapter 323 The Idiot Arrives on Earth

Once everyone except the Ninth Apostle had arrived, the Mist Council convened once more.

This time, however, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

"Gentlemen, this meeting is held here, and also to inform you that our friend who has been with us for nearly a million years, the Ninth Apostle, Judgment-Tavi, has perished in the siege and relentless attack of the enemy. This tragedy is something no one wanted to see, but it serves as a warning to you all."

"The ruling—Tavi's position remains intact and will forever stand in Parliament, serving as a warning to everyone that we cannot lose our caution and reverence. That's all I have to say."

After the leader on the main seat finished speaking, he remained silent. Perhaps He was not familiar with the Ninth Apostle, or perhaps He simply had this attitude towards everyone.

Then, when it was time for normal communication, everyone fell silent. Originally, the topic was supposed to be to continue the Xinghai Project and discuss how to increase the planet's population through various means, but because of the death of the Ninth Apostle, no one had any such plans.

"Heh, it seems like we've got a rat infiltrated our ranks this time," the Sixth Apostle said first, his gaze fixed on the last few people, including Xue Luding.

Xue Dinglu remained expressionless, but inwardly he was filled with doubt.

Has it been exposed? When?

After all, half of the Ninth Apostle's body was recycled by Xue Lude, and his ashes were turned into golden fertilizer and fed into the roots of the Insect-Eating Tree. The remaining wasted energy was allowed to drift into the consciousness space.

But Xue Dinglu wouldn't just jump out of boredom, and in fact, his identity in the council was fake; he was actually the mystic Brinton in disguise.

Even if exposed, Xue's Law has only lost the skin of the mystic Brinton, but the location of the home planet may be revealed.

He had already begun to consider how to escape if he were exposed, how to sell Brinton's suit, and how to ensure that the coordinates of the solar system were not revealed.

The universe is so vast that the probability of encountering a corresponding planet is even smaller than the probability of finding a corresponding grain of sand in the ocean. As long as the coordinates are not exposed, the other side will never be able to find you, no matter how hard they try.

If the coordinates are accidentally exposed, Xue's Law can only consider finding an interstellar column to shift the orbit of the solar system to a more remote part of the Milky Way.

Even a slight deviation can lead to a significant difference from the original coordinates in just a few dozen days.

That's all it will do to drive astronomers and geologists on Earth crazy; it's not a big deal.

Just as Xue Lude had already mentally prepared for the worst and devised several escape plans, Number Eleven next to him said with dissatisfaction, "Heh, an apostle with a subspace was actually attacked and killed? I can't understand why there would be such a stupid guy, and your first reaction is this?"

His tone was extremely arrogant, and he seemed to completely disregard the Sixth Apostle.

"But who has almost been killed by Number Nine on their own home planet?" The Sixth Apostle retorted without backing down.

Xue's Law: "?"

He looked around and, sure enough, the Sixth Apostle's gaze had been on Number Eleven, not on him. It was just that he was too close to Number Eleven and his gaze was caught in the eye.

Are they enemies?

With just a few sentences, Xue's Law can deduce a great deal of information.

Number Nine and Number Six should know each other or be close business partners, while Number Eleven seems to have a grudge against Number Nine. So after Number Nine died, Number Six immediately suspected Number Eleven.

At the same time, it seems that Number Eleven's home planet was invaded by Number Nine, which means that Number Nine at least knew the location of Number Eleven's home planet. This seems to make Number Six even more convinced that he was the one who leaked information about Number Nine, thus causing His death.

Watching the two locked in a fierce confrontation, Xue Luding, the traitor who was truly preparing for his final supper, remained perfectly hidden, quietly observing the drama from behind the scenes.

Fight! Fight! How exciting!

If the environment hadn't been unsuitable, Xue's Law would have been ready to applaud.

However, he remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on both sides until Number Four stepped forward and said, "Alright, let's stop. Don't make these unnecessary and unfounded speculations anymore."

Number Six also remained silent. He did indeed suspect there was a mole, and the first person he suspected was naturally Number Eleven, who had a grudge against Number Nine.

However, this was just suspicion. After all, in the entire council, perhaps only Number Eleven, besides himself, knew the most about Number Nine and was the most likely to take action.

Despite his reluctance, he did not continue the topic.

After all, it was just a guess.

The meeting proceeded uneventfully, mainly focusing on how Number Nine died. Although she was the weakest member of the council besides Xue Dinglu, she was still a count-level expert, and if she wanted to escape, the enemy would have no chance of stopping her.

He was clearly forced to be worn down and killed because his escape route was completely cut off.

In the end, no substantial information was obtained. Number Six still suspected that Number Eleven had killed Number Nine, while the others were basically trying to get information from each other to see if the other had any more information.

The meeting passed in this atmosphere of mutual suspicion. Although the apostles at the front seemed indifferent, those at the back seemed to be beginning to distrust each other.

When the meeting ended, Xue Luding looked at the slightly brightening sky and rubbed his temples.

Information is scarce, but knowing that Number Eleven and Number Nine have a conflict is enough. As for information about the other apostles, it remains unknown to Xue's Law.

But he still has plenty of time. Number Nine was the first to die, but he certainly wasn't the last.

However, this incident also served as a reminder to him that he must conceal himself when he makes a move in the future, and at the same time, he must not make enemies with any of the apostles, otherwise, he will be the first to be suspected after he makes his move.

After thinking for a while, Xue Dinglu also realized that although they all belonged to the Mist Council, it seemed that there were small groups among the Apostles, and the internal situation was actually quite disorganized. Moreover, they would still attack their own people.

They might even have fought each other over ranches.

He rubbed his forehead and suddenly paused, wondering when he had been thinking about using underhanded tactics all this time?

It seems that ever since Greece, he has become accustomed to scheming and plotting, but his schemes are still not ruthless enough or skillful enough, just like this time when he almost lost his own suit.

Let's go and learn from Odysseus when the time comes.

After thinking about these things, Xue looked out the window. The sky was gradually getting whiter, and the dampness of the early morning brought a touch of coolness.

He looked at the schedule and saw that not only was today full of classes, but tomorrow's classes would also be rescheduled to make up for the classes missed during the 7-day holiday.

Xue's Law: "..."

After outwitting and outmaneuvering the apostles, do we still have to outwit and outmaneuver our teacher?

Or should we run away?

……

At breakfast, looking at the drowsy Little Dragon Girl, White Crow, and Siamese, as well as Fafnir who was reciting modern history points while eating, Xue Dinglu also began to relax from thinking about the apostles.

"By the way, where is the child?" Aunt asked Xue Dinglu while wiping the drool from the corner of Xiaolongniang's mouth.

The aunt was naturally asking about Xue's youngest daughter, the insect-eating tree, whom she had also met.

Xue Luding then remembered the unfortunate child. She hadn't spoken for so long in the consciousness space that Xue Luding had almost forgotten about her. It seemed that the child had stopped speaking after he turned the Ninth Apostle's corpse into Jin Ke La.

Fearing something might have gone wrong, he immediately checked his consciousness space and found that Little Tree Mother seemed to be asleep. This was what made Xue Lude feel uneasy. Can trees sleep? She shouldn't have that ability, right?

Soon, Xue's Law discovered the change in the Seed of the World: the seed split open, and it seemed that a seedling was blooming on the Seed of the World.

Even with the naked eye, the saplings are gradually growing stronger.

Only then did he remember what his mother had said: the Ninth Apostle's body would help Little Tree Mother grow and take human form.

After all, the Divine Tree itself blossoms and bears fruit by absorbing spiritual energy, and the apostle's half-body is one of the most spiritually potent treasures.

Back inside, Xue Dinglu explained, "She should be transforming into human form. She should come out in a few days."

"Yay, my little sister is coming! I'm not the youngest anymore!" Little Dragon Girl put her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to be the older sister, seemingly never quite satisfied with being the youngest member of the family.

Although she was actually half a head taller than Fafnir, that was because Fafnir was too short.

Xue Luding pinched the little guy's face hard, suspecting that even if Little Tree Mother appeared at home, this silly child would still be completely fooled by his sister.

Oh well, let them be.

As he was getting ready to go to school and leave home, Fafnir suddenly said, "Teacher, I have an exam tomorrow, it will last for two days."

"Hmm?" Xue Dinglu looked at the child, then thought about his own school tomorrow, and said, "Then I'll take you to the exam venue tomorrow. Is it over in the science building? I know that place very well."

"Okay!" Fafnir left immediately, seemingly energized to study again.

Thinking about what kind of expression she would have if she knew that the class times for part-time and full-time university students were completely different, Xue Dinglu suddenly had a bit of a urge to tease her.

But since things have come to this, let's go to class first.
