"How to say?"

P.S.: Okay, actually she's not my girlfriend, just a female reader I met online when I was writing a serious book. We've known each other online for four years, but I've never met her in person. We have each other on WeChat and Weibo. She's quite pretty. It just so happens that I'm going to meet my online friend at the Christmas offline gathering in Hangzhou. Of course, if there's a chance... you know what I mean.

Chapter 87 140

"With the Realm of Illusionary Gods, you'll be safe until you reach the sixth rank. The main gods generally don't pay direct attention to ordinary participants below the sixth rank; that would be a complete waste of their time. There are billions of participants below the sixth rank in the entire dimension. Although you are a special case, the Realm of Illusionary Gods has already ensured that you won't be noticed by the main gods until you reach the sixth rank. So my advice to you is to slow down your leveling up and quickly increase your pseudo-god level to become a true god before the sixth rank. If I'm not mistaken, the True God Technique of the God of Deception can perfectly allow you to evade the main gods' gaze. This may be the only path that will allow you to embark on a completely different path from other participants."

"Really? That's amazing?"

After saying so much, Sivana finally told Lynch what she really wanted to say.

Lin Qi was immediately stunned. He could understand that the main god wouldn't pay attention to sixth-tier participants, but the number of billions still surprised him. The number far exceeded Lin Qi's expectations. What surprised Lin Qi even more was the matter concerning the God of Deception.

Lin Qi is currently a Level 1 Level 2 False God. It only takes 100 points of divine power to upgrade from Level 1 Level 1 to Level 1 Level 2. Lin Qi originally thought that he would also get free attribute points after upgrading, but it turns out that there is no such good thing. When he upgraded to Level 1 Level 2, he did not get anything!

Therefore, Lin Qi never upgraded the false god again. He originally planned to continue upgrading after he had enough divine power, but unfortunately, the divine power he had accumulated was used up by Cup Black when he modified the Holy Demon Touch not long ago. Although he has recovered some of it now, Lin Qi plans to save it to use the divine power of the Holy Demon Touch to temper and train his body, so he still did not use it to upgrade the level of the false god.

Now that Shyvana has said that, Lin Qi realizes that he may have completely underestimated the class system of the false god, the God of Deception.

"That's why I said you were lucky. If you had only obtained ordinary godhood fragments, or hadn't reached the Illusionary God Realm, I would never have told you this. You'll know whether it's true or not when you reach the True God level. The God of Deception is definitely more useful than you imagine."

"Then how can I help you?"

Shyvana didn't continue this time, but let Lynch upgrade the God of Deception himself, which made Lynch somewhat expectant. However, after a moment of silence, Lynch asked Shyvana a question.

Before Lynch learned that Hope was also a candidate for the Supreme God, he already realized what was going on. Shyvana, who was once a candidate for the Supreme God, was definitely not willing to be an apostle of the Supreme God, so she decided to help Lynch embark on a completely new path. In return, she would naturally help him get out of his predicament.

This world is fair; you reap what you sow. You can never expect something for nothing. It's not that there's no such thing as getting something for nothing, but rather that it's the privilege of the protagonist, not you.

Although Lin Qi believed he had the potential to become the protagonist, he never fantasized about getting something for nothing. He firmly believed that only when everyone's interests were aligned could disagreements be avoided. The world is actually far more cruel and realistic than imagined, which is why Lin Qi did not trust anyone.

"You can't help me now. Let's talk when you become a true god."

"Is becoming a true god that difficult? As long as I collect more dimensional proofs, gain more faith power and divine power, and keep leveling up, isn't that enough?"

However, Shyvana's answer surprised Lin Qi once again. In Lin Qi's mind, advancing to True God should be very simple. Just by mastering the faith power of the Goddess of War, Lin Qi could gain about 40 points of divine power every day. As long as he collected the two Dimensional Tokens in his hand, with Lin Qi's abilities, he could quickly control the faith of the Demon Ninja and the Demon Knights. Even without considering the explosive increase when he first gained faith in Lin Qi, he would still gain more than 100 points of divine power by tomorrow, and advancing to True God should not be difficult.

"It's not as simple as you think. Whether it's your normal level, your pseudo-god level, or even your berserker class, there are special conditions for advancing from the third to the fourth tier. If the first tier is the beginner period, then the period before the third tier is the period of mastering the operation, getting familiar with the game rules, and eliminating trash. The period after the fourth tier is the period of advancing to the expert level."

Shyvana gave Lin Qi a nonchalant look, then revealed another piece of inside information, leaving Lin Qi stunned. He hadn't expected that he hadn't even reached the true master-level advancement stage yet.

But then I thought about it again, and it really is true. Take her Berserker class for example. When you advance from the second to the third level, you already need bloodline, and when you advance from the third to the fourth level, I don't know what you need.

Suddenly, Lin Qi thought of the berserker Bolt. This guy was stuck at the fourth tier, level nine for a long time until the final battle, when he was forced to start killing humans. Only then did he find a way to advance from the fourth tier to the fifth tier by sheer luck. It required human blood to advance. Although Lin Qi didn't think that advancing required human blood, he figured it was probably related to the bloodline he chose for advancement. Bolt, after all, had the bloodline of an alien race.

"And I won't tell you that it takes a complete divine spark to advance from a false god to a true god."

"..."

What stunned Lin Qi even more was that Shyvana seemed to deliberately want to discourage him, and revealed the conditions required to advance to the True God realm in advance!

Lin Qi went berserk almost instantly. Advancement my ass! He'd only ever seen one fragment of godhood: Rocky's and Black's! Advancing to true godhood required a complete godhood! Wasn't that like killing a true god?! That was harder than slaying a dragon!

Upon receiving this news, Lin Qi abruptly stopped himself from using all his divine power points to upgrade, deciding instead to save up another 500 points to temper his body first.

After defeating the werewolf Mutu, Lin Qi immediately headed towards the Wuche Academy, the headquarters of the Anti-Demon Ninja, where Asagi was located. Judging from the speed at which he gained faith points, Asagi's actions at the Wuche Academy were obviously not going well. It would be a waste to keep Asuka, whom he had just acquired, on his own. It would be more appropriate to assign her to Asagi to assist in the recapture of the Anti-Demon Ninja. He could also send Sakura there at the same time.

In this way, Asagi will be surrounded by some of the strongest members of the first and second generation of Anti-Demon Ninja. With Lin Qi's assistance, including Kaguya and others, his plan to control the Anti-Demon Ninja is basically on track. As for whether Asuka will obediently follow orders, Lin Qi is not worried at all. She has always been dissatisfied with the Anti-Demon Ninja system, and what Lin Qi is going to do now is reform, so Asuka will naturally cooperate fully.

Chapter 88 141

"The operation has not gone smoothly for many reasons, mainly three. First, the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization's main economic and intelligence sources are currently controlled by Conqueror, making it like a child that cannot yet be fully independent. Even if it were independent, economics and intelligence would still be very problematic. Second, the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization has many internal factions, with these ninjas coming from different ninja families and schools. Even if they all joined the organization, it would be difficult for the small groups within to reach a consensus. Third, Asagi's influence is still too weak. Her personal strength is indeed very strong, but she only has a deep influence on the younger generation of Anti-Demon Ninjas. However, these people are insignificant in the short term, and Asagi has no say in front of the real decision-makers."

After infiltrating the Five Carts Academy, Lin Qi did not contact Asagi directly, but instead found Kaguya and the others.

After inquiring about the specific progress of Asagi's operation, Kaguya demonstrated excellent strategic thinking, clearly indicating that the operation was not going smoothly, and directly listing the three most important reasons.

Lin Qi frowned slightly. As expected, controlling the Demon Ninja was not as simple as Lin Qi had believed. The Demon Ninja organization was not like the God Realm. The God Realm was originally about faith and worship, and only the Temple was an organization that managed the people. So, if you took control of the Temple, you would take control of everyone.

However, the nature of the Demon Ninja is much more complicated. It is an organization established by the government, and it also brings together various ninja schools and families that are already fraught with contradictions.

However, Lin Qi smiled slightly in the blink of an eye. He was actually very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. He had carried out similar missions many times before. Lin Qi immediately released Sakura and Asuka.

"Sakura, you stay here to help your sister. Tell her that for now, she doesn't need to pay attention to factions and the old decision-makers. Let her develop her influence and followers among the younger generation of anti-demon ninja. Kaguya, you two continue to stay here and secretly assist Asagi. Also, collect relevant information on the faction leaders and older decision-makers among the anti-demon ninja and compile it for me. Asuka, come with me."

Lin Qi always valued efficiency. After assigning tasks to Sakura, Kaguya, and the others, he turned and left Gosha Academy with Asuka.

What are we going to do?

After leaving the Five Carts Academy, Asuka stared at Lin Qi with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she was going to do now. Lin Qi had promised her that he would reform the Anti-Demon Ninja organization, which was why she had come along.

"Go and seize control of the Demon Ninja's economic and intelligence sources."

"Ok?"

After Lin Qi explained something, he fell silent, leaving Asuka completely confused, still not understanding what Lin Qi wanted to do.

Meanwhile, a company in Tokyo that had just successfully gone public was throwing a party, with several core members gathered together in a joyful atmosphere.

"Boss, if we cooperate with demons, won't that...?"

Just then, an executive whispered to the boss with some concern that the reason their company was able to go public so quickly was because they had secretly cooperated with demons. Everyone here knew about this, and many people shared his worries, since demons were universally hated.

"What's wrong with that?! So many businesses are cooperating with demons these days! Not just businesses, even some officials are! If that's the case, why don't we cooperate? Look at those officials and businesses cooperating with demons, aren't they all thriving?! We… wait?! Demon Ninjas?!"

The boss laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned about the situation. Before partnering with the demons, he had honestly run his company for 40 years, yet it was still inferior to those companies that partnered with the demons, which surpassed his company in just a few years. This filled him with immense resentment. Now, after only one year of cooperation with the demons, his company had gone public! That was the difference!

Just as he was about to proudly show off, he suddenly froze, because Lin Qi and Asuka appeared in their room!

"Draft a company transfer and share transfer contract, make it as perfect as possible, and transfer it to Asagi, the leader of the Demon Ninja. After she signs and stamps it, write a letter of repentance for cooperating with demons. Remember to make the reasons reasonable, and then jump off the building."

Without even glancing at anyone else, Lin Qi appeared directly in front of the boss and stated the purpose of his visit in front of everyone.

"What...you said is!"

The boss immediately exploded, but only halfway through his outburst before staring at Lin Qi with a fanatical expression, completely captivated. Then Lin Qi threw out the control ring, taking control of his actions.

"Hello everyone here. The ringleader has been punished, and you will not be implicated. Please rest assured. As long as you all work hard, everyone will receive a share of the company's shares in three years."

Just as the boss began drafting the contract, Lin Qi turned around and smiled at the terrified executives around him. Everyone was stunned. Their fear was instantly replaced by joy. They didn't have to die! And they even got free shares!

"You know what to do?"

"Don't worry! Leave it to me!"

Shortly after Lin Qi left the company building with Asuka and the perfectly stamped contract, a black figure jumped off the roof, followed by gasps from the street.

Lin Qi handed the control ring to Asuka and asked her a question. Asuka immediately nodded excitedly. Asuka's favorite thing was to personally punish these humans who had colluded with demons!

Lin Qi smiled and then split up with Asuka to meet and take action. Asuka was left to handle the company's affairs, while Lin Qi had to deal with the intelligence matters.

Who are you?! What do you want?!

In the home of the deputy director of the intelligence bureau, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him awake. However, just as the deputy director was about to cry out, Lin Qi grabbed his face, made a shushing gesture, and glanced at his wife, who was still fast asleep beside him. The deputy director nodded, quickly calmed down, and followed Lin Qi to the balcony, where he questioned Lin Qi in a low voice.

"I just want to inform you that from now on, I hope you can secretly hand over a copy of all intelligence directly to the anti-demon ninja Asagi, without any omissions."

"Don't even think about it!"

Lin Qi also directly told the deputy director the purpose of his visit, but the deputy director immediately and decisively rejected Lin Qi's suggestion. 

P.S.: Some of the pictures in the main post have been censored. I don't know exactly where they were censored. I've uploaded them all to the group file. If you want to see them, join the group. You know what I mean.

Chapter 89 142

"Don't be so adamant. Actually, this won't cost you anything; it's just a convenient favor. Of course, if you don't agree, I can find someone else. After all, you're not the only one in the intelligence agency with access to all the information. But all your family members will fall into the hands of demons. By the way, I won't kill you, but I'll make you witness what happens to them after they fall into the hands of demons, watch them wail and beg you to save them. I don't want you to give in only after such a thing actually happens, and I don't want to tell them in front of them that all of this is because you refused to provide information that has nothing to do with you."

Lin Qi had actually expected the deputy director of the intelligence agency to refuse so decisively. These people who work in intelligence are all spineless and won't admit defeat until they see the coffin. If you try to reason with them, they will never compromise. The easiest way to get them to compromise is to threaten them. This trick has never failed.

Like a villain, Lin Qi turned his gaze to the sleeping woman with a cold smile and began to threaten the deputy director of the intelligence bureau.

"I... I agree to your request..."

Sure enough, the deputy director's expression immediately changed, and his heart began to waver. At this moment, Lin Qi used mental suggestion to quickly change the deputy director's mind, bypassing the long period of psychological struggle, and he nodded to Lin Qi.

"Very good, then sign this statement. I guarantee that as long as you cooperate, no one else will ever see this statement."

Although the deputy director nodded, Lin Qi never believed in verbal promises, so he took out a statement he had prepared beforehand. The statement briefly explained that the deputy director had privately provided the Anti-Demon Ninja with intelligence for a year and was an undercover agent planted by the Anti-Demon Ninja in the government.

To put it bluntly, it's a certificate proving that I'm an undercover agent for the Anti-Demon Ninja. Once this statement is made public, regardless of whether the deputy director actually provided intelligence to the Anti-Demon Ninja or whether he is actually one of them, his fate will be far worse than the one Lin Qi threatened him with.

After his face turned pale, the deputy director still signed the statement. Betrayal is like drug addiction. At first, he would refuse, but once he took the first bite, the second and third bites would become natural.

After securing the deputy director's favor, Lin Qi didn't linger. The intelligence bureau had three deputy directors, and Lin Qi would visit the remaining two in the same way. Lin Qi never put all his eggs in one basket, especially when it came to intelligence. Receiving the same information from three people at the same time would immediately reveal who was up to something.

However, although intelligence is currently being handled by others, in the end, it must still be in our own hands. Intelligence is the most important aspect of modern warfare, which is why Lin Qi had Sakura deliver flowers to Asagi to help her train new recruits. His goal was to cultivate a new intelligence agency from among these new recruits.

"Hmm? The Dimensional Proof is reacting! It's the part about the Demon Ninja!"

Just as Lin Qi left the second deputy director's house and headed to the third, the Dimensional Proof fragment on his body suddenly began to guide him once again! When Lin Qi took out the Dimensional Proof fragment to examine it, he immediately became excited! He had actually collected two fragments, only lacking the last one—the Dimensional Proof of the Demon Ninja!

Lynch possesses two types of dimensional proofs: a red one, which is related to Ingrid and is thus known as the Demon Knight's dimensional proof, and a purple one, which is the Anti-Demon Ninja's dimensional proof. The current guidance is based on fragments of these two dimensional proofs of the Anti-Demon Ninja!

Immediately, Lin Qi changed course and headed towards the Dimensional Proof, activating the search device along the way. However, after the werewolf died, the search device stopped displaying any coordinates, indicating that the werewolf was indeed the last person among the first batch of participants. The second batch of participants had not yet been sent in by the main god and the main god candidates, so Lin Qi had time to take advantage of this gap to slowly search for fragments of the Dimensional Proof.

Japan is a country with multiple political parties. The largest opposition party, the Democratic New Party, has always advocated learning the technology of the Demon Realm and has already cooperated with the Demon Realm. Yazaki Souichi, a cadre of the party, is one of the most steadfast members of this party.

"Humans no longer dominate society. The demons are stronger than us, and their technology is far superior. So why do we use their technology to strengthen our soldiers and then use them against you?!"

At that moment, Yazaki Souichi was roaring at the person on the other end of the phone, reiterating his stance once again.

"Since we disagree, there's no point in continuing this discussion. Let the next election decide! I'll prove to you stubborn fools that if you can't keep up with the times, you'll only face death!"

"What do you mean by this?! Are you trying to threaten me?! Let me tell you! I will not change my political views! Please stop calling and harassing me!"

However, it was clear that the other end of the phone had a completely different idea from his, and neither of them was happy about it. Yazaki Soichi eventually hung up the phone with a look of resentment.

"Yazaki Souichi's attitude is very tough."

"Then let them do it. Clean up the trash around Yazaki Souichi and give him a piece of advice, but don't kill him yet. He's still useful to us."
