“Free Covenant? The backer of the Bounty Hunter is actually the Free Covenant...” Zhang Yuanqing's mind flashed with information about the organization, and he suddenly gasped, “The Bounty Hunter is a neutral organization, spread throughout Europe and the United States, with an unimaginable number of registered members. The Hunter Guild seems to cooperate with these hunters, but it can completely manipulate Lingjing Xingzhe all over the world through missions.”

“As long as the reward is high enough, even members of the Orderly or Evil organizations will pursue profit and be manipulated by the Hunter Guild. No wonder the Chief Prosecutor of Heavenly Punishment almost died in the Free Covenant's assassination. Such an organization is too dangerous.”

His expression grew more solemn, and he said, “President, the purpose of you promoting me to Gold Hunter is to hope that I can infiltrate the Bounty Hunter Guild, find a way to contact the Guild's high-level officials, and thus penetrate the Free Covenant?”

“Smart!” The President, dressed in a pure black suit, clapped his hands lightly.

In the applause, he said in a low, timeless tone, as if reciting a beautiful poem: “Lost lamb, I will guide you to the sacred and victorious kingdom. You are one of the most potential Night Watchers in the world. Your future is the sea of stars, not the gentle embrace of Chinatown.”

“The war has already begun. Beneath this calm sea lies turbulent undercurrents, sea beasts that devour in threes, and whirlpools that devour everything. Follow the great President and advance towards victory. You will be redeemed in hymns and applause.”

What a load of nonsense. This is the least imposing and most unreliable demigod I've ever seen… Zhang Yuanqing slandered in his heart, while at the same time understanding the President's meaning, and said in a deep voice, “The war has already begun?”

The President held a goblet in his palm, took a sip of red wine, and said, “Do you think the war between the Dionysus Club and the Merchant Guild is really just because of a conflict of interest? Don't be silly. The market competition between the two major organizations was settled decades ago.”

“Then…” Zhang Yuanqing humbly asked for guidance, “What is the real reason for the conflict between the two major organizations this time?”

“A battle of camps! The Lingjing Administrator War!” The President rarely exaggerated, his tone low and solemn, “The Dionysus Club and the Merchant Guild are just vanguards in this war, the first moves for both sides to test each other, the beginning of a disaster sweeping the globe.”

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing frown in thought, confused, the President said, “Your true combat power is already comparable to a Dominator, and your level is high enough. I can disclose a lot of information to you. There are countless Lingjing Xingzhe organizations around the world, but in the final analysis, there are only two major camps: Orderly and Evil! Which camp do you think the Free Covenant belongs to?”

Zhang Yuanqing's tone was a little low, “Evil!”

“That's right!” The President snapped his fingers, “Lingjing Xingzhe all over the world think that this world belongs to the Orderly faction. The powerful Heavenly Punishment, the powerful Five Elements Alliance, and the major Orderly organizations divide the world and maintain order. Evil organizations are just stinky rats in the gutter. At most, they can only rule the world in the shadows, far from being comparable to the Orderly.”

Zhang Yuanqing said, “Isn't it?”

“No!” The President shook his head and said a shocking piece of information, “The two major camps of Orderly and Evil have actually fought a duel. The time node was a century ago.”

Zhang Yuanqing blurted out, “The War of the Destruction of the Papal Court!”

The President nodded slightly, “The Papal Court was destroyed, and the Free Covenant was born. The Orderly camp had already lost in the first camp confrontation. The overall strength of the Evil professions is stronger than the Orderly. If this situation cannot be reversed before the second camp confrontation arrives, then the Orderly will undoubtedly lose.”

“So, after the high-level officials of Heavenly Punishment obtained information from Hades and learned that the owner of the Bounty Hunter Guild was the Free Covenant, they chose to support the Merchant Guild?”

Zhang Yuanqing immediately understood, then frowned again, “Since the Evil camp was the victor a hundred years ago, why didn't the Free Covenant hold on to the fruits of victory, but instead hid? Although they can still develop their power by hiding, they are ultimately no match for the several major Orderly organizations that control official resources.”

The President explained, “Because the time has not yet come. The characteristics of the Evil professions determine that they cannot stand on the stage and dominate the world. All things are born towards the sun; this is the law. If the Free Covenant really dominated the world, then in the past hundred years, they would have constantly experienced resistance from the people and the Orderly professions, weakening themselves time and time again. So they hid and developed secretly, while dominating the direction of the world.”

Zhang Yuanqing had some guesses in his heart, but still asked, “What opportunity are they waiting for?”

As expected, he heard the President say, “Waiting for You Yue Xing to return to its place! This Lingjing game does not yet have an administrator. For the past hundred years, it has been running according to a fixed program, not controlled by anyone. The ultimate goal of the Night Watcher profession is the supreme administrator authority. No matter which side controls the supreme authority, it is a devastating blow to the other side. Therefore, the node of the second camp confrontation is the time when You Yue Xing returns to its place.”

“Now you understand why the Fallen Night Watcher must die, and why the Soldiers of the Church want to support Ling Tuo.”

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood, “So, the Free Covenant threw out the Compass of Light back then and single-handedly directed that global demigod war, just wanting to forcibly advance the process, so that all high-level Lingjing Xingzhe would know the special nature of the Night Watcher, and give birth to an administrator with supreme authority.”

The President nodded, “Now, the Star Lord and the Lunar Lord have both returned to their places. As long as the Solar Lord appears, the war will begin. And the Solar Lord's appearance is not far away.”

He stared at Zhang Yuanqing, his eyes hidden beneath the mask carrying deep meaning.

I feel like I'm bearing pressure that shouldn't be on me at this age… Zhang Yuanqing smiled self-deprecatingly.

The President continued, “Of course, there is a personal reason why the Merchant Guild has become a pawn in this war. First of all, I snatched the Illusion God item, occupying a demigod spot in the Evil camp. In addition, I am the only person in the world who can use the Myriad Worlds Mall authority. From the Evil camp's perspective, there is no Orderly profession more disgusting and troublesome than me.”

“Well, the Star Lord is on par with me. And then, the Evil camp suspects that the core fragment of the Compass of Light is on me. They want to take back the fragment and create a Solar Lord.”

It seems that no matter where or in what group, whale players must be beaten to death… Is the core fragment of the Compass the key to becoming the Solar Lord? So much information! Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred, “So you've been hiding in the Second District, unwilling to return to the Merchant Guild, because you were forced to, afraid of being sent back to Lingjing by the Free Covenant?”

The President snorted, “I can enter Lingjing at any time!”

He held his wine glass, leaned against the desk, and said in a deep voice, “The Free Covenant is different from the Evil camp. It is composed of Evil and Orderly professions. The reason it was able to overthrow the Papal Court back then was because various large and small organizations and rogue cultivators joined forces. Most of those Orderly professions who overthrew the Papal Court simply couldn't stand the Papal Court's tyranny. A small number were Fallen ones. These Fallen ones integrated into the major Orderly organizations, enduring and lurking, and many of them are in high positions. I don't trust the Merchant Guild. There must be people from the Free Covenant in it. Naturally, I can't return.”

Zhang Yuanqing nodded, “So you formed the Benevolent Society. That's your trusted aide. Tsk tsk, no wonder you're a demigod. You can get someone like Chen Shu, who is so headstrong, to work for you.”

The President also “tsk tsk”ed twice, “I can hear the resentment in your tone. I promised Chen Shu that I would find a way to resurrect Zhang Zizhen in the future, and that I would help you become the Solar Lord. She believes me, so she will work for me with all her heart.”

Help me become the Solar Lord… Zhang Yuanqing suddenly fell silent. The resentment in his heart dissipated by more than half, and he asked, “President, can becoming a Gold Hunter get me in contact with the Free Covenant?”

The President nodded, “One of the Hunter Guild's tasks is to find Evil professions with potential and Orderly professions that are easy to fall, and deliver fresh blood to the Free Covenant. So, as long as you show enough potential and become a Gold Hunter in a short period of time, they will come to investigate you. Don't worry, I've already had Fu Qingyang create a fake identity for you. With his current status and power, he has the ability to create a character out of thin air. Your identity and information will be sent to you later. The Free Covenant has placed spies in the Orderly organizations. Of course, we can too. This is a werewolf game among Lingjing Xingzhe.”

“Alas, this move was originally pending. I would rather invest in an outstanding Night Watcher and support him to become the Solar Lord, so that those evils hidden in the shadows can be wiped out in the most domineering and fierce manner. But Wang Shi Wu Hen had a disagreement with me. He knew that once he tried to advance to demigod, he would definitely die, but the role of a Level 9 peak Dominator is actually limited. When the real catastrophe comes, a peak Dominator may be a good combat force, but it is impossible to become a decisive factor.”

“So he decided to sacrifice himself and forcibly take the Illusion God item.” Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood, “The Illusionist's ever-changing abilities are the most suitable for spies.”

The President nodded lightly, “Yuan Shi, you are the only one who can infiltrate the Free Covenant, because you have Wang Shi Wu Hen's relic. Well, it's not enough to just have the Illusion God item. When necessary, you have to know how to properly use the Perfect Human Skin.”

So I am an intelligence agent in a large-scale war… Zhang Yuanqing found an accurate position for himself, and then his mouth twitched, “You've been planning this for a long time? You gave me the Perfect Human Skin, just waiting for today?”

The President laughed, “I told you, this move is pending, but the chess piece has to be placed in advance.”

When I become a demigod in the future, I will also be a chess player and play you guys to death… Zhang Yuanqing asked without joy or sorrow, “I will advance to Gold Hunter as soon as possible. Well, what if the Hunter Guild assigns me a task to kill high-level officials of Heavenly Punishment and the Merchant Guild?”

The President stared at him, “This is a choice between the big picture and personal feelings. You shouldn't ask me. You have to ask your own heart.”

In other words, you decide for yourself, and you bear the consequences yourself. The corner of Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched, and his gaze fell on the goblet in the President's hand, “Mr. Landlord is a Void profession. Is he one of your people?”
