"Oh, I never thought that while our leader was on tour, we actually found new followers?"

Among the three ministers, Xiu Denan was the first to speak. He stared at Fang Zheng with his sharp eyes under his sunglasses and then began to speak.

"Could it be that the leader thinks that our Three Pillars need to be replaced?"

"I certainly have no such intention, General."

Hearing Xiu Denan's question, Fang Zheng glanced at him. He knew, of course, that the other party was not looking for trouble for no reason.

"By the way, didn't you say you don't like clothes that make you look serious?"

"Depending on the situation, I will change."

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Xiu Denan reached out his hand, pushed his sunglasses, and then answered with a slight smile on his face. Fang Zheng didn't care, but walked in front of the three people. He first glanced at the three people in silence before speaking.

"What I'm going to say next may surprise you, but I'm going to say it anyway..."

Hearing this, Bellpeol, Hecate and Xiudenan's demeanor changed. They looked at the man in front of them quietly without saying a word, but at the same time were also waiting for him to speak.

"Bellpeole."

"I am here."

Hearing Fang Zheng's name being called, the tall beauty stepped forward and bowed her head respectfully.

"Do you still remember what our imperial mandate is?"

"Of course, leader, we have to create a new world for the Red World followers where they can do whatever they want..."

"That's right."

Hearing Bellpeol's answer, Fang Zheng nodded in satisfaction - or he could feel that the sacrificial snake attached to his body thought the same.

"Well, then what?"

"……Then?"

Hearing this unexpected question, Bellpeol, Hecate and Xiudenan all showed surprised and shaken expressions on their faces.

"Yes, you created a new world. Then, what are you going to do next?"

"this……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Belle Peabody, the most outstanding military strategist among the Three Pillars, also fell silent. To be honest, she had never expected that her leader would ask such a question. All along, Belle Peabody had focused on how to complete the imperial order, and as for what would happen after it was completed... Frankly speaking, if Fang Zheng hadn't asked her at this moment, she would not have thought about this question at all.

"Can't we do whatever we want? That beautiful new world is what we all long for."

Xiu Denan also spoke at this moment, and it was unknown whether he was trying to further test Fang Zheng or simply to help Bellpeollu out.

"And what about you, General?"

"I……"

Seeing that Fang Zheng had shifted his target, Xiu Denan suddenly felt as if he had dug a hole and buried himself in it.

“Does the so-called freedom of doing whatever you want really exist?”

Seeing the three people in front of him - including Hecate - starting to think about this question quietly, Fang Zheng finally led them to the point.

"During the three thousand years of being sealed, the Sacrifice Snake has been thinking about this question. Creating a new world, a new world that can satisfy the Crimson World disciples is our hope. But the problem is that no one is sure what kind of new world the Crimson World disciples want. Look at you, even you can't give a specific answer of 'whatever you want'. So what do other Crimson World disciples think?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng's voice became lower.

"You should understand that the Creator God cannot create without the wishes of others, but if the wishes of others are ambiguous, then there will be problems. Three thousand years ago, the wishes of our compatriots were simple and clear, but now... it may not be the case."

"You mean..."

“People change, and the world changes too.”

Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"We failed three thousand years ago, but that doesn't mean we have to accept failure three thousand years later."

Having said this, Fang Zheng paused.

“So, we need to communicate and exchange with others.”

"You mean..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Bellepeol's face showed a surprised expression, and Xiu Denan took off his sunglasses without knowing when. Hecate also slightly widened her eyes, and a look of surprise and astonishment appeared on her face, which had originally been expressionless.

"Belpeole, I hope you can find the followers of the Guiding God and invite them to the masquerade. I will go talk to the God of Punishment."

"no!"

But what was surprising was that as soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, the first person to speak out against it was the usually taciturn Hecate.

"That is the god who controls judgment and conviction, and can even kill gods! Leader, you are putting yourself in danger! This is a very dangerous act!"

"I don't think it's dangerous."

Looking at the pale-faced Hecate in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"Well, maybe you don't know yet, the current contractor of Tianrang Jiehuo in this world is also my student. I also taught her for a while. Sometimes, pushing potential allies to the opposite side is not a good choice."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and gently touched Hecate's little head. Feeling Fang Zheng's touch, Hecate's white cheeks flushed, and Xiu Denan beside him made a bored sound, but said nothing.

"You need to understand this clearly."

Retracting his "reckless right hand", Fang Zheng once again looked at the three ministers in front of him.

"We want to change all this, but we are not villains. We should not assume that the whole world is our enemy. This will not help the execution of the imperial order."

"You are still so naive... Leader."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Bellpeol couldn't help but sigh, and the other two showed similar expressions. Obviously, they all remembered that three thousand years ago, when the Ritual Serpent created the "Great Binding Chain", it invited the Fire Mist Warriors to participate in the ceremony together, but was defeated by the other party.

"The failure three thousand years ago was not necessarily a bad thing. Thanks to the Fire Mist Warriors, we were able to carefully review the entire plan and start over. If it weren't for these three thousand years, I'm afraid it would be impossible to find such a way out. As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise. If the Great Chain had been successfully built at that time, the consequences might have been worse than we imagined."

“…”

This time, the three ministers did not speak, but thought carefully. Just as their leader said, at that time they only thought about what would happen after the successful construction of the "Great Chains", and as for the subsequent impacts and changes... they did not think too much about it at that time.

"But... do you really want to take the risk yourself?"

Bellepeol was still a little worried, but Fang Zheng obviously didn't care.

"Considering my personal relationship with the other party, it is most appropriate for me to take action personally. If it were any of you, I think it would turn into a battle."

Fang Zheng was not lying. These three people might not be too afraid of Shana, but they were definitely wary of Alastor. As for Hecate, Fang Zheng felt that if he asked her to go find Shana, the result would be that only one of these two people would be able to come to him alive.

"And even if we fight, I won't lose to those fire mist warriors."

"I see."

This time, Belle Peole was quickly convinced. It was because Fang Zheng's record was too impressive. As a human, he could kill seven fire mist warriors in one go. They were a little surprised before, but now they were calm. After all, the opponent was a sacrificial snake. With his strength, not to mention seven fire mist warriors, even another seven hundred would not be a problem.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t get fooled by the “Secret Method of No Return”.

"But Alliance Leader, do we really want to let them interfere with our plans?"

Xiu Denan asked again, and from the look on his face, he was obviously not very happy about it - Fang Zheng could understand that, after all, this was the plan of the Red World Cult, and letting the Fire Mist Warriors join in, for the Red World Cult, who knows if they will play a counter-espionage trick again like they did three thousand years ago?

"No."

Facing Xiu Denan's question, Fang Zheng shook his head.

"I just went to reach a consensus with the Guidance God and the Heavenly Punishment God. As for the grudge between the Crimson World and the Fire Mist Warriors..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"It's time to settle accounts, and we still have to settle them."
