One has to admire Mr. Huang's efficiency; the investigation results came out in just one hour.

"The families of those rebellious psychics have long been controlled by mind control. Spending too much time with them will corrupt them. It seems we've let our guard down." Not long after Li Xuanzu returned to his residence, Elder Huang sent him a message.

"Aunt, is there any news from Elder Huang? What is the reason for these psionicists' rebellion?" As one of the people handling this psionicist rebellion, Fu Yu should naturally know the truth.

"Have those people been interrogated? Did you get any useful information?" Li Xuanzu didn't hide anything and directly held up his phone so that Fu Yu and Ouyang Ningxue could see it clearly.

"No, although they were just ordinary people or low-level psionicists, they committed suicide as soon as our people found out something. It happened so suddenly that we couldn't stop them."

"Didn't we send you a third-tier psychic before? Did you find out anything?" Li Xuanzu was still unwilling to give up and continued typing to ask.

"No, no matter how we ask him, he gives the same answer. We can't do anything about it, so we can only release him and have someone follow him to see if we can find anything." Old Huang's message came quickly.

Li Xuanzu could tell the other party's helplessness just from the words.

"Yes, it's still best to have someone keep an eye on him. I'll also plant a few blood servants nearby to keep watch. Those gods' methods are too secretive."

Li Xuanzu thought of something and continued to ask.

"By the way, the gods of the Dragon Kingdom still haven't manifested. What method do you plan to use to awaken them?"

"We already have a method, but it's not mature enough, and the sacrifices would be too great, so we're not considering it for now." Old Huang didn't give Li Xuanzu a direct answer. After all, there was no need to leave too much hope for a plan that even he himself wasn't sure would be used.

“Alright, after the Spring Festival, arrange a vehicle to take us to the Nordic region. But I suggest you take more drastic measures in India. I’ve been thinking about this, and something seems off.” Li Xuanzu reminded Huang Lao.

If you think about this matter carefully, you'll find many suspicious points.

"I understand, I'll have to trouble you then." With these words, Old Huang brought their conversation to a close.

After reading the information, Fu Yu and Ouyang Ningxue had a general understanding of the whole incident and its resolution.

Foreign gods have invaded; the Dragon Kingdom has launched a plan to summon gods.

"Li Xuanzu, what is the point of doubt you mentioned?" Ouyang Ningxue was puzzled. She hadn't been involved in this matter much and didn't know what the gods that Li Xuanzu and the others were talking about meant.

"This incident gives me a very strange feeling. It's like, if you secretly put on a hood and hit someone with a club, would you shout your own name? That's very illogical."

Li Xuanzu could never forget those fools shouting "Odin, the father of the gods" and "For Asgard," revealing their stupidity.

If their aim is to secretly erode the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom, the best approach would be to utilize the numerous fourth-tier psionicists within Kyoto to continue turning other fourth-tier psionicists against them, rather than exposing themselves prematurely and being held accountable by the Dragon Kingdom later—something they cannot afford to do.

There is another theory: they didn't understand Li Xuanzu as a variable, and thought they could catch Huang Lao off guard by relying on these spiritualists, and even directly attack the capital. In that case, whether they exposed themselves or not didn't matter.

However, although Li Xuanzu thought much more than others, he was not omniscient or omnipotent, nor could he always arrive at the correct result after careful consideration; he merely increased the probability.

As he analyzed the possibilities between the two, numerous leaders and high-ranking officials from several countries near the Mediterranean region gathered together, and behind them, a thin layer of light and shadow appeared.

Though faint, it was so faint that it was almost unbearable to look directly at.

"What's going on? When did the people of the Dragon Kingdom become so strong? Our divine spirit was actually stopped by some ragtag bunch who aren't even high priests." The speaker had a heavy accent and was speaking his country's dialect.

After the interpreter beside him translated and repeated his words in full, some people in the room let out a few cold laughs.

"Kurqis, what's the point of spouting this nonsense? Why not think about the next Chosen One? If it weren't for Goddess Apat's method, we would be the ones bearing the brunt of the Dragon Kingdom's wrath," a woman over forty, somewhat overweight, said, mocking him in front of so many people.

Because these countries speak different languages ​​and are unwilling to unify them, even when people are swearing, it's often two translators arguing back and forth, which is slow.

"Senor Yassin, show me some respect. This plan was only implemented because you all agreed to it. What? You have a problem with what I'm saying now?"

"Otherwise what? A fool who only knows how to keep making mistakes and stagnates all day long. I really don't know how the highest leader of Greece could have chosen such a brainless pig as his leader." The middle-aged woman named Senoryasin responded domineeringly, completely ignoring the other party's anger.

"You vile woman, it's a disgrace to the entire nation to have a woman like you become the highest leader of Qi Kingdom!" the man retorted, not to be outdone.

What's particularly funny is that the combined population of all these countries is less than that of any single safe spot in China, and their handling of zombies is far less effective than China's.

But they always manage to find the time to use the primal power of their own gods to annoy the people of the Dragon Kingdom and the Nordic region.

This kind of thing is thankless, harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, yet it was still planned and agreed upon by the top leaders of various countries.

Although the gods behind them undoubtedly played a part in all of this, it is still astonishing that such a thing happened to them.

"Alright everyone, now is not the time to discuss this," the female phantom behind Kurqis said, stopping the nonsensical argument.

Strangely enough, even though the language He spoke did not belong to any country, everyone present could understand what He meant, much like the divine consciousness of Li Xuanzu.

She is the goddess Apat, mentioned earlier, the goddess of deception in ancient Greek mythology, and the mastermind behind the rebellion in the Dragon Kingdom, who shifted the blame to the Norse pantheon.

In fact, this lie was quite clumsy, because the goddess of deception had just been awakened and her divine power was not yet strong.

If you were to ask why the sophistication of a lie is related to divine power.

She can make you believe the lie directly, which is why so many fourth-tier psionicists fall for it. No matter how clumsy the lie is, it is still a lie of the gods.

These countries haven't awakened many gods; at least none of the twelve major gods that are well-known in their mythological systems have been brought to life.

However, in a sense, the goddess Apate, as the offspring of Nyx, the goddess of night, was not too weak.

In addition, there are many other gods who represent misfortune, such as Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance; Kakya, the goddess of vice; Thanatos, the god of death; and Eris, the goddess of discord.

They are all offspring of Nyx, the goddess of night, and have just awakened. They are not very strong yet, and at this time they are each possessing the supreme leaders of four other countries besides Greece.

(Wow, this is a bombshell! Ancient Greek mythology is a bit mind-blowing, full of incest and hybrids. There are also many versions of the list of the twelve Olympian gods. I searched around and it was all very confusing. The later plot mainly focuses on the exorcists, who weren't discussed much in the early part of the story, and the focus will be on the war between the gods.)
