He waved the tentacles on his fleshy body and then said, "The 'Hidden Mist Society' doesn't have different treatment for different ranks, as you think."
"And we will make specific arrangements based on the members' circumstances."
"Humans like you, with enough power and potential, even a peak fourth-tier member can join the 'Mist Shadow Society.'"
"But we gods must start from the fifth rank."
"I've heard that the requirements for members are even more stringent in the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart - Core Area'."
"And the treatment given is similar."
“If someone craves power, the organization will use other members to control anti-government forces and help him gain merit.”
“They even deliberately weakened some non-organizational evil gods and sent them to him to gain merit.”
"It's like someone who longs for themselves, their loved ones, or their family to live forever and be healthy."
"Then the organization will let me use my cataclysmic abilities to provide them with lifespan and vitality."
Qiu Tu was diligently taking notes at first, but then he suddenly paused and looked up at the ball of flesh in front of him.
"Wait a minute. So... when you lured me into the 'Hidden Mist Society,' what kind of territory, right of first night, and beautiful stone sculpture were you using..."
Mu Ye looked at Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu looked at the twilight.
'Damn it! In the eyes of the evil god, I'm just a lecherous pervert and a weirdo?!'
He cursed under his breath, but Qiu Tu didn't care.
Creating a false weakness in the mind of the enemy can sometimes be surprisingly effective.
But... at nightfall, Qiu Tu was determined to expose him.
While internally complaining about this, Qiu Tu stopped discussing the issue and steered the interrogation back on track.
He glanced down at the notebook, then asked, "You said before that the 'Hidden Mist Society' has members in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Sanctuaries."
Who are they?
This time, Mu Ye's face clearly showed a struggle.
However... if he were at the peak of the fifth rank now, and his resistance was so fierce, Qiu Tu might suffer a backlash because he couldn't pay the price.
But He is now an ordinary fifth-order being, and in a state of near-collapse.
Qiu Tu suppressed Him as easily as playing a game.
So in just a moment, his expression returned to calm, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
He began, "Actually... I'm not really sure either."
"Our 'Hidden Mist Society' is actually a fairly secretive organization. So, aside from what the regional leaders reveal to everyone..."
"Other ordinary members all contacted each other anonymously."
"While we will have regular gatherings, they will only be held remotely in a void location, concealed from view, under the guidance of the regional head, using a special 'Cataclysmic Artifact.'"
"All I know is that our two regional leaders are named 'Beauty Wind' and 'Yaksha,' both of whom are 6th-tier deities."
"The sixth, seventh, and eighth shelters have a total of six members."
"One each in the sixth and eighth sanctuaries, and four in the seventh sanctuary."
"The member of the Sixth Shelter was codenamed 'Masked.'"
"The member of the Eighth Sanctuary is codenamed 'The Emperor.'"
Qiu Tu: ....
Upon hearing Mu Ye's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up at him.
If Qiu Tu wasn't certain that his abilities were still in effect, he would have even suspected that Mu Ye was teasing him.
emperor?
Why doesn't that person just call himself "Huang Shangzong"?
This is no longer an implication; it's a blatant frame-up.
Who exactly is this member of the Eighth Shelter? He's so cunning.
Using someone else's name as your own pseudonym.
That way, even if information is accidentally leaked, someone will take the blame.
Seeing Qiu Tu's reaction, Mu Ye's fleshy face also showed an innocent expression.
"He did indeed use that code name."
"I also wondered if Huang Shangzong was playing on logic."
"But the secret contact didn't seem quite right."
"Moreover... there were originally more than thirty people in the upper echelons of the Eighth Shelter. They were all high-ranking and powerful figures."
“People of this caliber wield enormous political influence. Without evidence or leads, investigating any one of them could trigger a political earthquake.”
"And in order to play the opposite of logic, they hand over 'clues' to others for investigation?"
"I don't think Huang Shangzong would be so unwise."
Hearing Mu Ye's words, Qiu Tu looked at him with slight surprise, and then said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about human politics."
Mu Ye chuckled, "Haha, it's always good to have many skills."
Seeing Mu Ye's expression, Qiu Tu smiled and shook his head, then inquired about some information regarding the "Mist Hidden Society".
According to Muye.
"The Hidden Mist Society" is a secretive organization that originated from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".
It is said that its strength in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" is also very powerful.
The reason for infiltrating the "Boundless Heart Sea - Peripheral Area" is actually to plunder resources, select talents, and enhance their competitiveness in the "Core Area".
Therefore, the main criteria for selection in this organization are: strength and power.
This is also why most of the evil god members are at least at the fifth rank, while most of the human members are at the peak of the fourth rank.
Because of the support of resources in the "core area" and the sharing and exchange of benefits among members of the "Mist Shadow Society", members improve very quickly after joining the "Mist Shadow Society".
In addition, recruiting promising individuals can increase contributions within the "Hidden Mist Society".
Contributions can be exchanged for various resources or to fulfill wishes.
Therefore, many members will recruit some trustworthy and promising individuals to become peripheral members—just like Mu Ye has been scouting Whale and Evil Moon.
This also allowed the organization to grow and expand rapidly.
And for the convenience of communication and the ease of transmitting orders.
Each member is also accompanied by a "messenger".
Members or their trusted subordinates can obtain the latest intelligence or missions from the "messenger".
It can also be used to relay messages upwards.
After learning about the "Hidden Mist Society," Qiu Tu circled the three characters "Hidden Mist Society" heavily.
A secret organization with thirty or forty members, all of whom are at the peak of the fourth, fifth, or even the peak of the fifth rank.
Moreover... the regional leaders are two sixth-tier deities. This is truly terrifying...
Because the other shelters have been concealing their strength, it is not yet clear what level their peak combat power is.
When it was placed in the eighth shelter a month ago....
This organization could easily sweep them all if they sent out a three-man team.
No wonder the leader of that organization was stationed in the sixth and seventh shelters.
This shows a complete disregard for the strength of the Eighth Shelter!
Thinking this, Qiu Tu turned his pen and jotted down his thoughts in his notebook.
Then he looked at Mu Ye again and asked another question that interested him.
He said, "When a living being does something, it either follows its instincts or it must have its own purpose."
"You have been making threats to invade Dongye Prefecture, sending people to cause trouble and spreading rumors about 'Shan Gen'."
"He must have his own motives, right?"
"What is your purpose? And what are you hiding?"
At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "You wouldn't actually be... searching for some rare and precious treasure, but using the 'root of the nose' as a cover, would you?"
This question may have really touched a nerve with Mu Ye.
Just now, under the influence of the "Order Space", his eyes were out of focus, and his speech became more and more casual.
As a result, after being asked these three questions, he began to struggle again, his expression on the fleshy ball became ferocious, and his tentacles danced wildly.
But... unfortunately, it was useless.
He was like an infant facing the crushing force of the world's laws, weak and powerless.
So after struggling for two seconds, he closed his eyes and slowly said, "The Flower of the Earth's Ley Lines."
"A rare disaster material that only comes from the real world."
"Although it's called 'Leg Blossom,' its creation has absolutely nothing to do with 'Leg Nodes.'"
"It was born from the collective will of humanity. It's somewhat similar to the towering 'projection of laws' that n possesses when a fourth-tier Cataclysm advances."
"However, it can only be observed and harvested using special methods."
Qiu Tu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
A rare and precious material born from collective consciousness?
What's this novel thing?
The spirit of this world can influence the real world; even collective consciousness can coalesce into special catastrophic materials?
This is amazing.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu even had a picture in his mind: above a bustling city, there was a towering, illusory flower.
Every human in the city has a transparent thread above their head, connecting them to that enormous, illusory flower, without their knowledge...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Then what is its function?"
Mu Ye has now given up entirely.
He spoke with his eyes closed, "It is called the 'Flower of the Ley Lines' because of its effects."
"It can nourish the earth's veins and strengthen the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart' region."
“The area that originally had only 18 or 36 ley line nodes can, with its help, leap to become a top-tier area with 365 ley line nodes.”
"And more importantly, the energy level of this region can be elevated."
At this point, Mu Ye even countered with a question to Qiu Tu, "You know the conditions for becoming a Tier 6 Cataclysmic Being, right?"
Qiu Tu nodded slightly.
"Peak of the fifth tier, nine interconnected regions, then proceed to the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart - Core Region' for advancement."
Mu Ye smiled and nodded. "Yes."
"This is public information left behind by the 'Origin of the World.'"
"And according to information provided by the 'Hidden Mist Society' and Lord 'Yaksha'..."
"The reason why a Tier 6 Cataclysm must go to the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area,' and why they need to possess nine interconnected areas, is because of... the 'World Seal'!"
"World-level conferment?" Qiu Tu didn't understand.
Mu Ye said, "Yes."
He gave an example, "Like you now... are the Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly of Dongye State. Theoretically, Dongye State is your jurisdiction, right?"
Qiu Tu nodded slightly.
Mu Ye said, "And this area under your jurisdiction was granted to you by the human sanctuary."
