This news is not groundless. Although people use the [City] as the boundary, there are always some powerful organizations that blur this boundary. The one that spread the news is a secret organization jointly established by several giants and consortiums. This organization is almost exclusively responsible for matters related to the [Cup], including monitoring the federal world.

In addition, during the period when the federal seal was stable, they were free and were responsible for trying to communicate with the [Gods]. However, this work had not made any progress until a few days ago, when they suddenly received a response.

In the past, in order to communicate with the gods, the extraordinary people would carve some very complex circuits representing "sacrifice" and "inquiry", and then place enough extraordinary cores and materials on them to support "communication". Although it was called "sacrifice", in fact, the gods would not receive anything from this communication, and the extraordinary materials used were only to support communication.

So whether or not to respond depends entirely on your "mood" and "luck".

Even if it is just one communication, the amount of extraordinary materials required is very huge. Therefore, it is impossible for someone to try to chat with the gods for no reason, so that the gods will be annoyed and close the communication channel.

Therefore, after the [Cup] was sealed, the [Gods] of other attributes suddenly disappeared, which caused a huge uproar at the time.

Fortunately, everything that happened later proved that the disappearance of the [Gods] did not seem to have any impact on other things. They were not seen normally, and it was the [Agents] who were doing things. The agents did not seem to be affected at all, so people gradually got used to it.

After all, [Gods] are, in the final analysis, just "supernatural beings" who have mastered various attribute rules, not real gods. They are called gods simply because their powers are no different from those of gods in the eyes of other supernatural beings and creatures.

But no matter what, [God] is indeed the end of all the extraordinary people at present. When reaching the level of [God], there is no other goal except the pursuit of ascension.

Many people speculate that the [Gods] of various attributes killed themselves in their pursuit of ascension.

After all, in their long and almost immortal lives, apart from maintaining the "order" and "balance" of various attributes, the only thing left to do is to figure out how to ascend.

[God] will not encounter direct "death", but there will be other ways of extinction. In other words, when reaching that realm, being killed will no longer kill you, but there will be other more fancy ways of dying. Who knows if you will really kill yourself by asking for trouble?

In this regard, people who had not seen gods for a long time had many speculations, but it was undeniable that at this moment when the [Cup] was wreaking havoc, the sudden news of gods was indeed quite exciting.

The news was released by the investors behind this organization, namely several giant cities and consortiums. It is worth mentioning that Liancheng is also one of the secret supporters of this organization, but after the incident, a purge was carried out within the organization with the aim of removing people related to Liancheng.

After all, at this point, they are no longer trustworthy.

In addition to the news that they had successfully contacted the gods again, the news also included a word from the gods.

【No need to worry.】

Just four words calmed the public's panic.

Because the word of God cannot be forged or tampered with!

This is why people have been speculating for so many years that God has fallen, but no cult dares to recruit believers in the name of the new God.

Since the news claims that this was sent down by God, it must be correct.

After the news was released, the originally slightly declining situation changed instantly. A large number of people who wanted to start the game and directly throw the [Cup] gave up the idea instantly. Those who were originally hesitant became firm again, and even began to mock those "traitors" who directly threw themselves into the arms of the [Cup] at the beginning.

The atmosphere has changed.

But who can say that such a change was not within the expectations of the Cup?

At least, Xu Zhi didn't think that the [Cup] would be completely unprepared for this.

He has been planning for so long, and as a fellow God, how could he not know whether his opponents are dead or alive?

Xu Zhi even wondered if the disappearance of the gods had anything to do with the [Cup]?

But that level was not something she could consider right now. All she knew now was that [Cup] seemed to be getting agitated because of the news.

She felt that He was giving orders to the archbishops. He wanted them to gather at a certain place, and that place was Lotus City.

".hiss."

Today's Liancheng can be described as a paradise for the [Cup]. What kind of paradise is it exactly? The main feature is that it is sufficiently "chaotic".

Each layer has its own order, and some layers even have three or four orders. Even if you are a fellow believer, without any external force, you will almost beat your brains out every day.

Simply put, Xu Zhi completely ignored the fact that [Cup] wanted her to manage Liancheng. Now that the other party asked other archbishops to gather in Liancheng, it was most likely that they were going to do something big, and the fact that she was completely a hands-off boss would be exposed.

".Whatever, I'm lazy anyway, so what's wrong with being lazy?"

Could he just kill her?!

"That shouldn't be the case."

She guessed that most of the other believers in Liancheng were just consumables. They shouldn't kill her directly just because her improper management caused too much loss of consumables, right?

She felt that [Cup] was quite appreciative of her. At least when she was being tested in His domain, Xu Zhi felt that the other party was quite appreciative of her.

After He gave the order, the other archbishops had already started to rush to Liancheng. Xu Zhi estimated that they could arrive within an hour at the earliest. After all, apart from her, the other believers really took the words of the Cup seriously.

So she found Qi Yanxin, thought for a moment and said, "I have fulfilled my promise to Xu Zhi, and now I have to leave and do my own thing."

Qi Yanxin didn't seem surprised by this. He just nodded to show that he understood, and added a sentence "Be careful on the road."

Xu Zhi was a little worried, so before leaving, she gave him another warning: "Live well, Xu Zhi will come back to find you."

After saying this, she felt that what she said was a little wrong, as if she was certain that Xu Zhi would come back.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yanxin did not question this sentence. Instead, he looked up at the spirit body meaningfully, and his eyes and tone seemed to carry some kind of certainty: "Of course, I know."

Strange, so strange.

Her behavior can be interpreted as trust in Xu Zhi, or as a problem with Qi Yanxin. What she thinks depends entirely on Xu Zhi.

It's not right that Xu Zhi is biased towards Qi Yanxin.

However, she had no time to stay here. No matter how wrong the other party was, it was a fact that he saved her life and had not harmed her so far. If she stayed here any longer, the other archbishops would come to her.

Xu Zhi immediately headed to the bottom floor, where the red light ritual circuit was located. She did not intend to show up there, but instead planned to find a place to stay and create the illusion that she had been staying there all the time.

At the very least, she is protecting the circuit well, isn't she?

Before the other archbishops arrived, Xu Zhi had been thinking about what was wrong with Qi Yanxin. In front of "Xu Zhi", she did not seem to show anything unusual, but in front of the "Archbishop", she unexpectedly exposed many details that were wrong.

Is it because of the change of identity to believer?

Or is she just being extra careful in front of "Xu Zhi"?

No, that's not right.

Xu Zhi narrowed her eyes. She carefully reviewed Qi Yanxin's attitude towards the "spiritual body" since the Liancheng Incident, and gradually figured out that something was wrong.

Why did she feel that Qi Yanxin seemed to know that "she" was Xu Zhi?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was extremely high, especially since Qi Yanxin looked directly at her and said things that were too subtle several times, as if he was talking directly to "Xu Zhi" through her.

She didn't think too much about it at the time, but looking back now, she just felt that the woman might have known the truth from some point in time, but she didn't want to expose it. She didn't know what was in her mood when she pretended not to know her.

Xu Zhi tilted his head and gritted his teeth, and for the first time, he showed some anger and shame.

It was all her fault for believing too much that Qi Yanxin was a naive person!

After becoming a believer, did she really become a bad woman?

However, since she already knew that I was Xu Zhi, why didn't she show any reluctance when I was about to leave?

You can’t just do it because you’ve already acted out the role, so you might as well act professionally to the end!

Or, because she is gone, Qi Yanxin can do his own thing?

What can Qi Yanxin do?

Xu Zhi thought about it carefully and didn't think that Qi Yanxin would do anything big behind her back. Even if she seemed to have some secrets, it was impossible for a person to completely hide themselves in daily life.

Thoughts and subconsciousness will reveal one's true nature. She didn't think Qi Yanxin had started pretending before she became a believer, nor did she think she couldn't see that she was pretending during the time when she was wary of Qi Yanxin.

The reason why she didn't realize it at the first time was simply because Qi Yanxin had already gained a certain degree of trust from her.

She was certain that conversion should have begun after becoming a believer.

"Next time we meet, just ask directly."

Xu Zhi didn't want to guess, or rather, she didn't want to make random guesses when facing someone she trusted a little. She preferred to ask the person directly if she had any doubts.

If she hadn't sensed the archbishop approaching, she would have even wanted to ask him in person.

The person coming had a strong aura and was extremely fast. At their level, even if their extraordinary abilities did not enhance their speed, their speed in normal actions was far beyond that of ordinary extraordinary people.

Xu Zhi was just pretending to hide aside, and the connection between them allowed the archbishop to find her quickly.

Xu Zhi also saw the first archbishop she met after coming to the real world.

How should I put it, what she wears is quite special.

Dressed in a black and white nun's uniform, she looked like a character from a movie or TV show. Her appearance was not outstanding, but her beauty revealed a holy aura. At first glance, she looked like a compassionate nun.

She had obviously noticed the chaotic state of Liancheng on the way here, and when she saw Xu Zhi, her eyes revealed some confusion and dissatisfaction.

“Why haven’t you governed this city as the Lord has instructed?”

Xu Zhi just raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then said perfunctorily: "How do you know I didn't care?"

The nun obviously hadn't expected Xu Zhi's answer to be so shameless. She paused and said, "If you had really intervened, the things I saw on the way here wouldn't exist."

"They are important believers in the Lord. How can you let them kill each other?"

Xu Zhi blinked and said bluntly, "They are just some cannon fodder destined to die. Sister Sister, since you care so much about them, why don't you take care of them for me?"

She thought the nun had some mental problems.

But then again, after becoming a believer, who can be without some problems in their brain?

As soon as Xu Zhi said this, the nun in front of him immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll take care of it for you."

Xu Zhi laughed out loud upon hearing this, not even trying to hide her laughter. After she finished laughing, she looked at the nun with a playful expression and said, "If you want the management rights here, you can just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush like this?"

It's still installed.

Xu Zhi's straightforwardness obviously annoyed the nun opposite. Even for the archbishop, as a believer of the [Cup], negative emotions are extremely easily magnified. Her anger towards Xu Zhi obviously expanded infinitely at this moment, causing her to dislike this "colleague" extremely as soon as she met Xu Zhi for the first time.

"Perhaps you should study languages."

The nun said this in a sarcastic tone.

"This sounds familiar, as if someone has said it to me before." Xu Zhi muttered to himself, then looked at the nun and said with a smile, "You should learn something and say something I like to hear. Otherwise, I will hand over the management of Lotus City to someone else. What will you do?"

Today, Liancheng is a hot spot for the archbishops, and Xu Zhi is well aware of this. Of course, this is only limited to the archbishops who are truly loyal to the [Cup].

The nun obviously did not expect that Xu Zhi would say that he would hand over Liancheng to her one second, and then change his mind the next second. The speed of his expression changed caught her off guard, but she had no time to say anything, because the next breath of the archbishop had already arrived.

In the next few minutes, the remaining archbishops found this place one after another. Except for the small alien, the remaining six archbishops had gathered here.

Moreover, it seemed that everyone was unfamiliar with each other, and it seemed that they had never met before.

Logically speaking, Liancheng is Xu Zhi's main city, and he handed it over to Xu Zhi for management. At this moment, Xu Zhi should have stepped forward to preside over this sudden gathering, but Xu Zhi ignored these "guests" at all. He just sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.

"Hmph, lazy, the name suits you."

Someone snorted coldly and said something without disguising it, then raised his voice slightly and said, "Since someone is useless, then I will preside over this meeting."
