Once, I wanted to be a good person

Upon hearing Dahei Jialuo's words, Fang Ze didn't want to pay him any attention at all.

After all, Dahei Jialuo is indeed the most cunning demigod Fang Ze has ever encountered. He chose to reveal some information at this moment, clearly not because he was complacent after gaining the upper hand, but because he wanted to disrupt the minds of those present.

Therefore, seeing through Dahei Jialuo's thoughts, Fang Ze directly interrupted him, saying, "Since you wish to thank me, then kneel down and bow your head a few times. I will accept your gratitude."

Hearing Fang Ze's humiliation, Dahei Jialuo's words were caught in his throat. His black face turned black-red with anger, and he wished he was the one in control so that he could tear Fang Ze into pieces.

Unfortunately, Fang Ze is the one in control now, so although Dahei Jialuo was displeased, he could only suppress his resentment and continue trying to shake the minds of the experts present.

He said, "You dare not let me speak, is it because you have guessed your purpose?"

"Hahaha. That's right. You're the bait we released. If it weren't for you drawing the attention of the Eastern Administrative Region, especially He Weidao's attention, how could we have accomplished so much right under their nose?"

"If it weren't for you drawing attention to the various states, causing so many experts to go to the Xida State Provincial Government, how could we have had a reason to send people to the Xida State Provincial Government to accomplish the most crucial setup?"

"If you hadn't gone to Yun City for your report, leading so many experts away from the Provincial Government, how could we have succeeded so easily?"

"So, don't you think we should thank you? Hahahaha!"

Even knowing that Dahei Jialuo was spouting nonsense and intentionally disturbing them, Fang Ze's forehead couldn't help but throb with veins. Even with psychological preparation, he felt this way, and the other experts felt even more so—their attacks noticeably slowed down and were less sharp than before.

Seeing this, Dahei Jialuo laughed arrogantly and continued, "Moreover, the girl beside you didn't say everything. Or perhaps she doesn't know what's happening in the other states."

"Let me tell you. Although your Federation tightly guards and controls the Mortality-Shedding Fruit to prevent our demigod forces from growing in the Real World, they miscalculated—they didn't anticipate an Absolute Pinnacle demigod would defect. You think we demigods can't have Mortality-Shedding believers in the Real World, but you don't know how many Mortality-Shedding Fruits we've obtained through the Galan family over the years, and how many Mortality-Shedding experts we've trained."

"This arrangement of ours is not limited to Xida State and Galan State. Now, the other five states of the Eastern Administrative Region are also in turmoil, and each state is struggling."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Galan family can openly approach Tian Cong City? Is it not because the states can't spare the resources to deal with us?"

"Moreover, the demigod of the Galan family is an Absolute Pinnacle demigod, the pinnacle of human demigods. There are only two in the entire Eastern Administrative Region; unless Emperor Li of Tang State personally comes, how can other demigods be his match?"

"As for Emperor Li... hehe, someone else will keep him occupied. He simply can't come over..."

Saying this, Dahei Jialuo's dark eyes swept over everyone, full of mockery and pride. "So, I can officially tell you... the Eastern Administrative Region is finished."

After hearing his words, the atmosphere at the scene became even heavier.

Originally, before the experts besieged Dahei Jialuo, they had guessed some major changes in the Provincial Government through certain anomalies but didn't know the specifics.

Now, with Bai Zhi and Dahei Jialuo's brief words, they roughly understood the situation.

Thinking of the current predicament in Xida State, thinking of the changes in the entire Eastern Administrative Region, to be honest, this group of experts truly had lost the heart to fight.

Fang Ze's personal favor is indeed important, but if their home is destroyed because of it, then it's completely misplaced priorities.

Their feelings were written all over their faces, so after sensing the hesitation among them, Fang Ze frowned slightly and gave Dahei Jialuo a deep look.

Dahei Jialuo's file in the Special Service Department shows that his ability is of the Mind Category and can influence people's minds. Fang Ze hadn't grasped this concept too strongly before.

But now seeing how his few words easily reduced the morale of the experts present, Fang Ze had no choice but to take it seriously.

He secretly activated the Emotion Snake on his finger and said, "Don't be alarmed by his words!"

"The situation in Xida State may not be good right now, but who knows the real situation in other states? Is what he said even true? What if he's just making it up?"

"Moreover, even if everything he says is true, letting him go now won't fix things, will it?"

"Therefore, everyone might as well give it their all, capture him, and we can go to Yun City to learn the real situation sooner!"

Although Fang Ze's words were simple, with the boost of the Emotion Snake, they were very persuasive. The experts present couldn't help but feel their spirits lifted, morale surging, and their actions sped up.

Just when Fang Ze managed to dispel Dahei Jialuo's influence, Dahei Jialuo spoke again, dodging attacks while saying, "Whether it's true or not, you should know in your hearts."

"In recent years, other regions have seen demigods forcibly descend, and yet the Eastern Administrative Region has remained calm except for the foolish Flower God. Is this normal?"

"The Special Service Department and Security Bureau in other major states continually accumulate experience dealing with demigods' descent, while the Eastern Administrative Region can't even figure out the process of such a descent. Isn't this strange?"

"As for capturing me..." Dahei Jialuo laughed arrogantly, "I am an Outer Realm demigod. My Divine Soul is indestructible. Even if you kill me now, aside from shortening my lifespan by a few decades out of thousands of years, it has no impact. You're just wasting your effort."
