"Could it be that this solution is to seize power?"
Chizuru Ginsei's eyes widened again.
The white-haired woman nodded, then shook her head:
"Similar, but not entirely..."
"Like the prophecy, the crystal ball's solution was also very vague."
"Based on my analysis, the crystal ball's answer is roughly to cause as much disruption as possible in this world that has fallen into boundless chaos..."
"The greater the stir you create, the greater the possibility of breaking free from those blood-red shackles..."
"The smaller the stir, the smaller the possibility of being dragged into the endless abyss by the blood-red shackles..."
"If we want to survive, we can only choose this most extreme method!"
"Only complete madness has meaning..."
Chizuru Ginsei took a deep breath:
"So, we are going to put all our chips on Tanaka Kenko and go all in?"
The white-haired woman shook her head:
"Silly child, how can you still be so naive..."
"What I said was indeed to adopt the most extreme method, but when did I ever say to put everything on Tanaka Kenko?"
"That cunning, wolf-hearted wretch, does he even deserve it?"
"We have always started from ourselves..."
"That so-called Tanaka Kenko is merely a temporary stepping stone for us."
"Now, because of the urgency of the situation, we can cooperate with him for a while."
"Once we escape this sea of blood-like crisis, we must kick him away as quickly as possible! It's urgent!"
Looking at the determined face of the white-haired woman, Chizuru Ginsei swallowed and quickly lowered her head in agreement.
The white-haired woman was, of course, extremely satisfied with Chizuru Ginsei's performance, and patted her head again:
"Since you already know the first thing, there's no need for me to go on and on..."
"But there's no need to be too pessimistic. People like us should not fear death at all."
"Death is more like a release, a release to return to the divine kingdom, to meet the true God..."
"So failure is nothing to be afraid of."
"As long as we give our all in the process, the true God will surely not blame us."
"And if we succeed, the magnificent achievement of spreading the temple's teachings throughout Sakura, and even having the country of Sakura change its name for us, will add luster to our future ascension..."
"In other words, no matter how the situation develops according to our expectations, we should be in an invincible position."
The white-haired woman appeared extremely pious and confident as she spoke these words.
However, Chizuru Ginsei was not as optimistic as she was, and gave a difficult grimace.
Because, even if that so-called true God was willing to reward his believers, and willing to guide their souls to the divine kingdom after they died, there had to be a prerequisite.
That is, when a person dies, their soul can perish normally.
And some extremely dangerous individuals actually possessed such disgusting means, like Lin Ran...
This guy had used the method of soul extraction in front of her.
That scene left a particularly bad impression on Chizuru Ginsei, who was already very sensitive to soul power.
Uh... but then again, it's probably a mess outside right now, with all sorts of strange phenomena appearing, and battles raging in almost every region...
Under these circumstances, the probability of her encountering Lin Ran again is extremely low, let alone confronting him.
And perhaps at this very moment, Lin Ran, who has made countless enemies, might have died outside...
Although that would mean they would lose a good vessel, in these times when life and property are hard to preserve, the plan to plunder Lin Ran might have to be shelved for a while.
It wouldn't be impossible to look for Lin Ran's "corpse" after everything is done...
Chizuru Ginsei muttered to herself, nodding in her heart.
At this moment, after an unknown prayer, the white-haired woman opened her eyes again:
"Now, it's time to tell you the second secret..."
"Disciple, do you know why it is so unusually cold here?"
Chizuru Ginsei, who already didn't know, naturally wouldn't pretend to know at this moment:
"Disciple is foolish, please instruct me, master."
The white-haired woman walked to the end of the wooden house and knocked on the back wall:
"Because, beneath this wooden house, a terrifying existence is buried!"
"Do you know the renown of the 'White Reaper'?"
Chizuru Ginsei's face changed dramatically, and she exclaimed:
"White Reaper?! Isn't that one of Ye Yun's former mounts?!"
"I heard that in a battle in the bay a long time ago, this White Reaper, along with the fallen Ye Yun, died in the boundless sea..."
"Could it be that this is false?"
The white-haired woman smiled mysteriously:
"To say it's false, but not entirely false..."
"The matter of the White Reaper's death is indeed true, but the whereabouts of its corpse are not so ethereal."
"Although I don't know how that guy's corpse was sealed beneath the Eastern Ying Temple, it is there!"
"And if we think further, perhaps we have misunderstood the matter entirely..."
"Perhaps the founding of the Eastern Ying Temple was precisely to conceal the secret of this wooden house!"
Hearing this, Chizuru Ginsei's expression did not improve at all, and she asked doubtfully:
"But hiding this thing is a thankless task!"
"If news of this hot potato leaks, not only will the righteous forces that hate Ye Yun and the Ye Yun organization founded by Ye Yun to their bones hold us accountable, but that mad dog from the Ye Yun organization will also cling to us like a shadow..."
"At that time, even if our Eastern Ying Temple controls the whole of Sakura, we might not be able to withstand such pressure!"
"This... this... this..."
Seeing Chizuru Ginsei stuttering more and more, the white-haired woman laughed heartily:
"Of course, anyone who hears this news for the first time will definitely think so..."
"Because they often base this premise on our inability to gain any benefit from the White Reaper..."
Chizuru Ginsei's heart stirred:
"Could it be that we can really get benefits from the White Reaper?"
The white-haired woman wagged her finger:
"Far more than that..."
"Because, we possess the secret tome that can control its corpse!"
"Now that we are fighting for our lives, I don't think there's any need to hide it any longer!"
Saying this, the white-haired woman beckoned, and a rumbling sound came from underground the wooden house.
