Volume 6 Agate Chapter 600: Bad Reputation
The Trisur Empire.
Royal City, Tourmaline Closter.
With the royal family at its center, undercurrents are surging at the top of the empire's power pyramid.
The middle and upper classes, including the powerful and wealthy, smelled a hint of gunpowder and became increasingly uneasy. Only the common people at the bottom of society were completely unaware of the situation and continued to lead the same peaceful life as before.
This day.
The sun is shining and the sky is clear.
A golden holy light descended from the sky, falling on the highest Sun Palace and enveloping it.
Countless residents of the royal city saw this scene and could not help but bow their heads in prayer and praise the sun.
However, it was from this day that a big news came out.
Princess Annatrixul was deprived of her power to rule...
André, the Sun King, returns to the throne!
All parties reacted violently.
The royal family convened a top-secret meeting at the first opportunity, and all the leaders of the Seven Gods Church in the royal city received the invitation. None of them refused, nor dared to refuse.
Because the person who convened this meeting was Emperor Andre the Great!
The meeting lasted three days.
No one knows what happened, but this indicates that something big is going to happen...
…
…
…
The Polaris team traveled from the spirit world and finally arrived at Linbang Lengye City in the northern region.
After entering the Bountiful Church area, they were soon led by Reverend Lishman to the living room and met Jack.
Although it has not been long, the perception of this gentleman in black hat by the top players has changed drastically.
Because they know clearly that the person sitting in front of them is no longer simply the leader of the power in the past... He is also the ultimate villain BOSS of the new version, the King of Cang Yi!
"Teacher Jack."
Polaris took a deep breath, stepped forward, took off his hat, and saluted.
The gentleman in the black hat gently closed the poetry collection in his hand, smiled and raised his hand.
"Everyone, please sit down."
"yes."
The members of the Polaris team seemed to be back to the time when they first met. They nodded seriously and obediently, then sat upright on the sofa, not daring to move.
"Why are you all so serious?"
Chen Lun chuckled.
He called Floy and asked her to make a pot of tea for the guests.
Players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Jack didn't seem to have turned evil as expected, or had a drastic change in personality.
"Teacher, we have received news that the Imperial Royal Family, the Inquisition, and the Church of the Seven Gods will join forces to deal with you! The rest of the Undead Strangers may also join their camp..."
Polaris said in a deep voice.
According to the plan they discussed, the first step was to rush to Jack and present the information they knew so that Jack would not be caught off guard.
Unexpectedly, the gentleman in the black hat just nodded and said lightly:
"I know."
Everyone was shocked.
Chen Lun glanced at them, then took the teapot from Floy and poured a cup of hot tea for each expert player.
"If I say that I have indeed inherited the power of the Dark Father, but have never thought of harming the world, would you believe me?"
Chen Lun said softly.
"Of course I believe it!"
Tailtone was the first to shout.
"We believe in you, teacher."
Polaris also nodded solemnly.
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
He actually couldn't figure out why the main quest of version 3.0 distorted the facts and made it seem like he had done something bad that would anger God and man... Although he did take the two unique divinities of the Father of Darkness and also stole the mythical creature characteristics of the Dragon of Light.
But it is impossible for him to become the second Father of Darkness.
First of all, he would not become Lie's father's lackey, let alone become a medium for sewage discharge... Secondly, Destiny and the Black Sun Path are extremely far apart, how are they connected?
Why would anyone still believe it?
Chen Lun was extremely puzzled.
Unfortunately, this information was captured by the game in a form unknown to him, and processed again, turning him into an unforgivable villain.
He guessed that this was probably caused by "not returning home", and perhaps it was caused by Huan Gong...
The purpose was to deliberately force him into a desperate situation.
“I am very pleased with your choice.”
He smiled at the high-level players.
Polaris was about to speak.
Suddenly, Chen Lun frowned.
An invisible, indescribable force radiated through.
Chen Lun's pupils shrank slightly. With the authority of not returning home, he was immune to and captured this power, but no one except him noticed it.
"teacher……"
Polaris's expression changed, and he continued with a worried look:
"Although you have no intention of harming the world, the power is too strong. Will it corrode you?"
Chen Lun's smile gradually disappeared.
He didn't answer the question.
His eyes instantly climbed up the crystal, reflecting the swirling mist.
A quick glance.
Chen Lun couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He discovered that the players of the Polaris team had their cognition altered invisibly!
Although they chose to believe in themselves, they were deeply rooted in the belief that they had indeed seized the power of the Father of Darkness and were in danger of losing control or even becoming a second source of pollution!
Chen Lun turned his head again, looking through the building, and saw the circus cadres and the councilors under his command. [Mind Stealing] was activated... Without exception, their cognition had all been tampered with!
This power was not strong enough to cause his subordinates to rebel directly, but it also made them worried that they would be backfired by the power of the Dark Father and ultimately be unable to recover.
"My fierce father..."
Chen Lun murmured to himself.
His eyes gradually became colder.
Liefu possesses ten portions of the only divinity, and his status is the strongest among the true gods.
He used his authority to deceive the stars to deceive the entire world once again and tampered with everyone's cognition...
I was forced to bear this bad reputation!
This is revenge on myself...
Because he helped Jiaoyang kill the Father of Darkness and destroyed the important sewage discharge medium that He relied on to stabilize His own state!
"Jiaoyang must have become a thorn in Lie's father's side, but he is a Sequence One Angel after all, so he is not easy to deal with for the time being. So he picked me, a soft persimmon, to squeeze first?"
Chen Lun felt angry.
It was okay for Lie's father to target him, but he couldn't tolerate his father arbitrarily tampering with the cognition of people around him.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Chen Lun said calmly to Polaris and others.
"We believe you can defeat the encroachment of darkness."
Polaris and the others laughed.
At this moment, Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
Because he suddenly discovered that behind the high-level players such as Polaris, there were actually zigzag lines emerging...
That is the trajectory of their destiny!
Not the game characters, but their destiny in real life!
"Before, I could only see the faceplate, but now I can actually see their own fate..."
Chen Lun was secretly shocked.
He thought back to the past.
After Prince Dazzlet was wiped out by the Sun King, the players, like ordinary people in this world, had no recollection of this character.
Even the posts on the game forums disappeared.
At that time, Chen Lun noticed some clues.
'When the power reaches a certain level, the game can affect the real world. This time is no exception... Liefu tampered with the players' cognition.'
Chen Lun lowered his eyes.
"And because I didn't return home, my power and position seemed to have broken through this barrier?"
An idea suddenly occurred to him.
A tentative idea.
"Polaris, do you believe in fate?"
Chen Lun asked the question again in a gentle tone.
Polaris was stunned.
Teacher Jack had asked this question once before they became each other's student.
At that time, he just treated it as a plot question, but now, he calmed down and thought for a while, thinking back to the past, and finally said in a deep voice:
"I believe in fate, sir."
"very good."
Chen Lun nodded.
He looked at Dongyang Chenxi and others and asked them:
"What about you? Do you believe in fate?"
Dongyang and the others looked at each other, pretending to believe, and gave a positive answer:
"We believe in fate, too, Mr. Jack."
Chen Lun just remained silent.
He knew that among these players, except for Polaris, the real thoughts of others were that they didn't really believe it... But it didn't matter. He asked this deliberately just to leave a deep impression on them.
What I’m going to talk about next is the highlight.
Chen Lun crossed his fingers and gently placed them on his legs. He looked at everyone with a calm and meaningful look and spoke softly:
"Dongyang, please pay attention to the color red when you return home tonight."
Dongyang was slightly stunned, not knowing what this sentence meant.
Then, Mr. Jack continued:
"Morning and evening, flowers are in full bloom, but beware of thorns."
Chen Xi raised her eyebrows and also showed a puzzled look.
Chen Lun said something similar to the other players, which made everyone quite confused.
Finally, he looked toward the North Star.
"Between wealth and perseverance, you still need to make one more choice, and this time, it will completely change your life, Abei."
Polaris' pupils shrank slightly.
He bowed his head deeply.
After saying this, Chen Lun seemed to have lost interest and waved his hand to send the players away.
The living room returns to tranquility.
Chen Lun looked normal, lying on the sofa, as if waiting for something.
After a moment.
A man in a gray robe quietly walked out from the shadows on the other side of the coffee table.
Chen Lun lowered his eyes and just raised his hand to signal.
"Please take a seat, Chancellor Azgiero."
The man in gray robe nodded slightly and sat on the sofa opposite.
The two were silent for a moment.
"Jack, have you taken away the power of the Dark Father?"
Speaker Azgiero asked softly.
Chen Lun did not deny it and nodded.
"Yes, you could say that."
"Will this power corrode you?"
Speaker Azgiero thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"Not really."
Chen Lun replied.
The Speaker narrowed his eyes, and then a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
"It seems... my cognition has indeed been tampered with."
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"You are being targeted by the true gods, Jack... The Sun King personally convened a royal meeting and prepared to carry out the highest level of encirclement and suppression operations against you. In addition to the Council of Generosity, the Imperial Inquisition and the rest of the Church of the Seven Gods all unanimously passed the vote."
The Speaker paused for a moment and added:
"The Sun King even sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Byron and the Capital of Shuoli. I think you should know what this means."
Chen Lun did not answer.
He just remained silent, and after a while he spoke:
"The whole world's cognition has been tampered with. I have now become the source of evil in everyone's eyes. Next, I will fight against the whole world..."
"My king is digesting the last of his authority, and I'm afraid he won't be able to respond to your prayers..."
The Speaker frowned.
His subtext was very clear: His Majesty Conrad could not help with this matter for the time being.
Chen Lun nodded to show that he understood.
"I'd like to ask you for a favor, Chancellor Azgiero."
"Speaking."
The grey-robed man said.
"Please, in the name of the Generous Parliament, officially announce that Jackspeight has resigned from the Parliament... I don't want to embarrass the Parliament on this matter."
Chen Lun said calmly.
Unexpectedly, the Speaker shook his head and refused.
"My king will not agree."
"The Council of Generosity can't help me. This is a joint encirclement and suppression by the Empire and the Church of the Seven Gods... and I have a feeling that this matter will involve a struggle on a higher level."
Chen Lun sat up and looked directly at the Speaker.
There was a kind of suppressed ferocity in those eyes, which even frightened Azgiero.
"Since my father wants me to bear this bad name and never be able to turn over a new leaf, then I might as well do as He wishes..."
Chen Lun grinned.
There was something indescribably eerie about that smile.
