Born into the Royal Family, Zhao Chuanzhu understood the principle of gains and losses.

In the past, she was deeply tied to the Northern Song Imperial Family, enjoying luxurious clothes and sumptuous food, as well as wealth and glory.

But she had no say in her marriage, whether it be marrying off to faraway barbarians or being given in marriage to appease ministers.

When the Northern Song Imperial Family weakened, the Jin Soldiers invaded, and all the imperial family members were captured in one sweep.

That was enough.

As for being loyal and obedient, previously she had to listen to her monarch and be loyal to the emperor. It was the same cost, so what was the difference?

Compared to her monarch’s weakness and the emperor’s incompetence, being obedient to Bai Pu, a strong and skilled person, even made her feel safer.

Thinking this, Zhao Chuanzhu looked at Bai Pu with a bit more relief in her eyes.

"Chuanzhu, in the Celestial Hero World, besides investigating the secrets regarding the Supreme Profound Sword, remember to also help publicize Master and spread the name of Immortal Master Yujing throughout the Central Plains." Qin said.

Zhao Chuanzhu understood this as well and immediately nodded in agreement.

"There’s no need to rush. Wait until you have the strength of a first-class expert (enhanced leader) and cultivate enough power base, fully grasping the real power of the New Song Court before doing this."

Bai Pu said blandly, "The world of Celestial Hero: Jingkang Incident is, after all, just a Mid-level Spirit Realm, merely an appetizer. My focus now is still on the Original Sin World."

The Original Sin World had just upgraded to the Advanced Spirit Realm, not as difficult as top-level planes like the Demon Fighting World, making it suitable for Bai Pu to stir the winds and clouds.

If he can change the fate of the Original Sin World or uncover its secrets, Bai Pu should be able to obtain more Legendary Points.

Bonnie also reported the latest situation.

She has followed Bai Pu’s plan and joined the "Light of Redemption" organization, officially becoming a subordinate of Redeemer Nur.

At the same time, Bonnie was also preparing to sell the Light of Redemption organization to the Thorn Church at an appropriate time, triggering the Thorn Church’s powerful forces to eliminate Nur.

By that time, she would conduct the Source Lord’s Descent ritual, invoking Bai Pu’s arrival.

Qin reminded, "The Source Lord’s Descent ritual is rather complex and requires preparation several days in advance. Bonnie, have you checked the contents of the ritual to summon Master’s descent?"

Bonnie nodded, "I have checked. It requires drawing a specific Divine Descent Array, lighting seven candles at the array’s nodes, and letting them burn for seven days to accumulate enough power for Master to descend across realms."

"Don’t you need to find a native?" Qin asked curiously, "Back in the Celestial Hero World, Spirit Realm Will had me find Zhao Chuanzhu, a native, to trek together on Yu Wang Mountain for a full five days."

Bai Pu said, "Because Bonnie herself comes from the Original Sin World, she’s considered half a native. She hasn’t left the Original Sin World and hasn’t given up the World Waymark’s blessing yet."

...

After the meeting ended, Bai Pu returned to the real world.

To be precise, he returned to his Boundary Land, the Giant Fern Mountain Range.

"You really are quite the busy person."

Li Ling routinely reported the recent big events to Bai Pu, ending with a bit of a jab.

Bai Pu smiled faintly, "Once you advance to Advanced Awakened, you’ll feel it too. The environment in the real world becomes somewhat uncomfortable, instinctively making you want to find a more comfortable place. The intensity of spiritual particles in the current Giant Fern Mountain Range is rather thin... having an Advanced Boundary Land would be better."

As he spoke, Bai Pu glanced at the backlog of messages on his personal wristwatch.

Due to the presence of Practical Officer Li Ling, his "little secretary," there actually weren’t many who could directly reach Bai Pu’s personal terminal number.

Only a few standing members of the Jiangnan Region Council, and at worst, mid-level influential figures of the Special Service Bureau.

In conversation with bigwigs, no grassroots in the comings and goings.

Of course, acquaintances and friends from before Bai Pu’s rise could still reach Bai Pu’s number.

For instance, a few teammates from Special Service Group Six’s first team, classmates from the university team, Su Xiaoxiao from the Divine Strategy Army, Qilin, and others.

These old acquaintances also knew of Bai Pu’s current elevated status. They cherished Bai Pu’s number and only called in dire need of help, generally not disturbing Bai Pu or wearing down their relationship.

There were also some acquaintances who witnessed Bai Pu’s ascent and were now deeply regretting, like Overlord, Crazy Zen, Iron Crocodile... Once they had a powerful ally right in front of them, but they failed to cherish it.

If anyone regretted the most, it would undoubtedly be Golden Bull from the Genius Camp of the Divine Strategy Army.

At least people like Overlord still had family backgrounds, and even without clinging tightly to Bai Pu, their lives weren’t too shabby.

While Golden Bull, being from a grassroots background.

Ever since "selling out" Bai Pu, Golden Bull was marginalized in the Genius Camp of the Divine Strategy Army by those aware of the inside story, like Qilin. Even Mad Dog, who was once close to Golden Bull, rarely interacted with him.

Without the help of teammates, Golden Bull could only venture into Spirit Realm alone, joining various wild teams.

As can be imagined, his progress was significantly hindered, and now, with the three-year term nearing its end, as a member of the Genius Camp, he hadn’t even reached Level 6. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

When signing a long-term renewal agreement, naturally, Golden Bull was abandoned.

Li Ling knew there was another reason Golden Bull was abandoned; the middle and high-levels of the Divine Strategy Army couldn’t gauge Bai Pu’s attitude.

If they weren’t sure, they chose to forgo.

Not even bothering to test the waters with a question, because Golden Bull wasn’t exceptional enough to warrant it.

Li Ling gazed at Bai Pu’s clear face, feeling a bit dazed. In less than a year, this rapidly rising young man had already reached a level where many had to look up to him.

Every action he took was scrutinized for hidden meanings by many, who carefully avoided crossing any lines.

Bai Pu opened a series of information light screens, discarding the unnecessary and keeping only the most important ones.

"The recent reports from the Special Service Bureau indicate rising criminal activity in the Jiangnan Region, including several crimes by evil Awakened individuals?" Bai Pu frowned, opening some rather bloody photos, some even pixelated.

"Yes, evil Awakened individuals have been a bit rampant lately. Initially, they only dared to commit crimes secretly in mountainous regions or villages, but now they’ve extended to various cities. Not sure who is behind this with such audacity." Li Ling said.

Bai Pu flipped through the messages, "Vice Group Leader Yuan Tang sent me a private message. The organization’s preliminary investigation suggests these criminal activities have significant ties to the Superstar Alliance... Has the Regional Committee made any moves recently? Regarding the Superstar Alliance."

Li Ling thought for a moment and said, "Nothing on the surface. However, I heard that former standing member Wu Yunzhong privately visited Commander Qiao but parted on bad terms."
