Chapter 241

Then they actually managed to push Luo Ge, this Chief Deceiver Officer, onto the altar of 'Chief Thought Mentor'.

Throughout the narration, Zhang Xianzhong's expression was full of,

A kind of dreamy feeling of 'Who am I, where am I, what am I saying'.

When he finished speaking, the entire command center once again fell into a strange silence.

After hearing all this, Qin Hao fell silent.

He lowered his head, seemingly digesting this overly dreamlike amount of information.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Xianzhong, and asked a question that struck straight at the soul.

"So, we… have we actually changed a third-level civilization with thought?"

Zhang Xianzhong's mouth corner twitched violently.

"From theory…… it seems…… yes."

"Moreover," Zhou Shaoqing added from the side in an even stranger tone, "They seem to have learned even better and more devotedly than we ourselves."

"Just last month,"

Intelligence Minister Kong Jie pulled out the latest intelligence, 'The leader of the Star Sea Divine Religion has released the newest Fifty-Year Plan.'

"The plan clearly proposes to basically complete a strategic counteroffensive against the reactionary rule of the Silicon-based Union within fifty years."

"At the same time, they aim to preliminarily establish within the religion a harmonious new order of equality for all, distribution according to need, and joint development."

"To achieve this goal, they even founded an organization called the Galactic Revolutionary United Front Alliance, broadly inviting all oppressed civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy to join them."

"And the honorary chairman they nominated for the first term of the alliance…"

Kong Jie paused, then glanced at Qin Hao.

"It's you."

Qin Hao: '……'

He felt that his brain, that Super Brain honed by rules and capable of calculating stellar collapse models, showed the first signs of crashing.

This script is off.

It's way off.

I just wanted to use this powerful ally together to fight the enemy.

How did I, without realizing it, almost develop the ally into… my own subordinate?

And it's that kind of super subordinate who is even more enthusiastic and fervent than myself?

"What about… Luo Ge?"

Qin Hao struggled to change the subject, 'Is he still okay?'

Whenever Luo Ge was mentioned, everyone's face showed a sympathy that was hard to put into words.

"He… is not doing well."

Zhou Shaoqing sighed, 'The day before yesterday, he even applied to me, saying he wanted to go to the front and operate a minesweeper.'

"He said he would rather touch antimatter space mines than go back to teach those godlike students."

"He said he is about to be drained dry."

"Those students are too eager to learn; they are no longer satisfied with just studying theory."

"They began to ask Luo Ge to combine their religion's actual situation and tailor-make a complete ideological reform plan for them."

"From economic base to superstructure, from cultural propaganda to cadre selection… they want it all."

"Luo Ge said he feels he is not acting as a mentor, but as the Chief Designer of a third-level civilization."

"He is under too much pressure."

After hearing Zhou Shaoqing's description, Qin Hao's mind already conjured up Luo Ge's face, devoid of any will to live.

He sincerely felt for this Federal Diplomat comrade, a little bit…… sadness!.

"In that case, I need to go back to the Solar System to check the situation, meet the Church Leader and others, and secretly observe whether they are genuine or pretending, and whether vigilance is still needed."

After thinking for a while, Qin Hao made a decision.

"Good! As for the problem you're worried about, we've already made arrangements—after all, hearts are hidden behind bellies, how could we possibly trust them completely?"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, his complexion returning to normal.

Thus, three days later, Qin Hao returned to Blue Star in the Solar System.

With his current understanding of space, he crossed a distance of over a hundred light-years in such a short time.

At Luo Lao's home, Qin Hao hadn't chatted with him for long.

An urgent communication then came in.

The screen showed it was from the Institute of Truth Practice.

On the screen appeared the anxious face of a Federation Liaison Officer.

"Report, Rote Commissioner! Qin Consultant!"

"Luo Ge Mentor… Luo Ge Mentor he… has fainted!"

"What?" Both of them were startled.

"Just now, the Church Leader was asking him about how to concretely implement democratic centralism within a theocratic system,

'Luo Ge Mentor he… he foamed at the mouth and then collapsed.'

"The accompanying medical team has already examined him and said it's spiritual exhaustion and mental fatigue, nothing else serious; he just needs rest to recover."

"But the Church Leader and others don't agree!"

The liaison officer's expression was a mix of laughter and tears.

"They say the mentor collapsed from exhaustion while guiding them, and they can't let the mentor just fall like that!"

"They are now preparing to use their religion's Holy Light to give the mentor an initiation!"

"They said they wanted to help the instructor replenish mental power and raise his life level!"

"We... we can't stop them!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Qin Hao's face turned ugly.

Holy Light Empowerment?

That thing is a method used by the Star Sea Divine Church Civilization to convert the most devout believers!

Although they no longer practice that Faith Assimilation now.

But the Holy Light contains the core of their civilization.

Although Lei Ge had injected the Super Thought Gene Drug, he was still essentially a mortal, his mental power far inferior to Qin Hao's.

If he accepted it, even if he didn't become one of them, he'd likely be burst apart by that immense faith energy!

"Nonsense!" Lao Luo slammed the table.

"Xiao Qin, look at this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Hao's figure had already vanished from the spot.

The next second.

Inside the Institute of Truth Practice's classical hall filled with a futuristic feel.

The Church Leader, Kan Ti, the Grand Archbishop, the Holy Word Master, and others were gathered around the unconscious Lei Ge, their faces filled with anxiety and self-reproach.

On the Church Leader's body, a brilliant golden Holy Light had blazed to the extreme.

He was about to inject a portion of his core power into Lei Ge's body.

"The instructor collapsed from exhaustion for our sake! We absolutely cannot just stand by and do nothing!"

"This is our highest tribute to him!"

Just as his hand was about to touch Lei Ge's forehead.

A hand appeared out of thin air, lightly resting on his wrist.

"Enough."

A calm voice sounded in the hall.

The Church Leader and the others were startled, turning their heads to look.

They saw Qin Hao's figure appear behind them at some point.

He simply stood there quietly, with no energy fluctuations.

But the Church Leader felt that the Holy Light about to burst forth was actually being forced back by an invisible force!

His body, composed purely of energy, even trembled slightly.

That was a suppression stemming from life level!

"You... you are..."

The Pope's voice showed excitement for the first time.

He gazed at Qin Hao's deep purple eyes.

He felt as if he were looking up at a true Creator God.

Qin Hao looked at him, the corner of his mouth curling into a meaningful smile,

"You guys seem to have messed up my comrade."
