Chapter 2883: The Challenger of Predetermined Fate

The greatest resistance to this comes mainly from two points: one is the so-called honor of the Upper Family, who believe that testing is a denial of their loyalty and honor, and an insult to them.

And the other is the testing itself; it would be one thing for ordinary family members, who only need to undergo bloodline-level testing, but important figures of the family must also undergo an additional mental screening.

Although they only ask questions related to Demon Descendants, the fear is that some people have ulterior motives! Or rather, the Upper Families cannot fully trust each other and will always worry about others playing little tricks.

Or, from their own perspective, as long as there is an opportunity, they will play tricks during others' testing processes; it doesn't necessarily have to be to frame anyone, it could just be to pry into the secrets of other families.

Therefore, from the day the theory of comprehensive testing was born, the voices of the opposition have never ceased.

Even now, with two Upper Families in the country suspected of colluding with demons, there are still plenty of opponents firmly against comprehensive testing, among whom are many supporters of the Crown King.

Yilisaier is well aware of this, so when he saw followers bringing up comprehensive testing again, he did not express his stance immediately; only after observing did he still feel shocked by the attitude of other supporters.

Although one could take advantage of the disappearance of the two Upper Families to forcibly push for comprehensive testing, lacking the support of the broad majority, even if it brings temporary gain, it is hard to avoid leaving hidden dangers.

Thinking this way, Yilisaier already had a decision: "As far as the current situation is concerned, comprehensive testing is still too radical. It is desirable, but the Demon Descendant problem cannot be treated as non-existent just because we don't look at it. Once the situation worsens, I ask you all to remember today's discussion."

After Yilisaier finished speaking, the courtiers and leaders praised the Crown King's wisdom one after another, a scene that made Yilisaier sigh in his heart once again.

Aimo's identity in the Darkness Society, even within the Darkness Society, was known only to her—the introducer—and the Wise One; other Apostles at most had some suspicions based on Aimo's public identity as a prophet, but could not be one hundred percent sure.

This time Aimo's disappearance not only exposed Aimo's identity, but even the identity of Yilanshaer, which she had operated for a long time, could not be preserved; the loss in this is something only Kuierpafen herself knows.

Due to this sudden incident, Kuierpafen had to abandon everything she had operated in the open, which made her very dissatisfied, while at the same time, there was a trace of trepidation engraved in the bottom of her heart that was hard to erase.

It was just the disappearance of one Dark Apostle; no matter how much compensation or appeasement there was, it was hard to avoid leaving a mark in the hearts of other Dark Apostles.

And on the other side, because of Aimo's sudden disappearance, there had been a period of commotion and chaos within the Darkness Society, but under the calm handling of the Wise One, everything returned to tranquility.

"This world has many variables, and for a Time Line, the more we observe and intervene, the more variables there will be. This can be considered the instinctive resistance of the Time Line, or fate's mockery of prophets."

"Feidisi, what do you mean by saying that? Even if I chose Palisi, without your agreement, could he participate in the plan? If I am wrong, then by what right do you stay out of it?"

"I know, this matter is my fault after all; it was my decision that was wrong." The Wise One lowered his head and eyes, as if truly repenting for his own mistakes.

Although this matter would inevitably invite mockery from other countries after being synchronized to the Northland Alliance, at the very least, domestic public opinion would not spiral out of control.

"This is something I should have known long ago, but I held onto a fluke, and only then missed an important window period. This is indeed my fault; none of you should argue with me."

"Enwexi, what is the situation with the newly established research institution of the Northland Alliance? Have any secret lines infiltrated it?"

But when such words came out of the Wise One's mouth, it was a different feeling. For the members of the Darkness Society, it was the Wise One who led them to overcome the predetermined fate and allowed them to be born into Reality from nothingness.

"Apologies, Wise One. The Northland Alliance's protection of that new institution is unprecedented. All who join must undergo the strictest screening; even inquiring about related situations will be recorded and questioned. Currently, our secret lines cannot get close at all."

In fact, for a moment, he had considered making public the truth about the two Upper Families fleeing the country, but the chaos that would cause was not necessarily something he could control.

"As for those two Upper Families, externally, use the excuse of illness and changes; synchronize the real situation to the Northland Alliance and issue a wanted notice within the Northland territory."

It is just that the Demon Descendant problem is becoming increasingly serious, and Yilisaier does not know if his decision is correct now; he can only let time bear witness.

And within this place filled with Heianshengdian, Kuierpafen's expression was indifferent. Perhaps only in this situation could she truly see herself clearly, and also see the essence of the Darkness Society clearly, from which a doubt she had never had before arose in her heart—

"As of now, we have done well enough, and even completed the Chushizhiyin. Next, there are still twelve window periods. We don't need to succeed every time; as long as we succeed half the time, it will be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes."

Yilisaier ultimately chose to cover for those two Upper Families, not out of any soft-heartedness, but to look after the face of all Upper Families.

And as a king, he still instinctively hoped to reduce variables and have everything transition smoothly.

At this moment, even Kuierpafen, who had just had a trace of doubt about the cause of the Darkness Society, could not help but reignite hope.

The one speaking was a sturdy Gold Elf male, but just as he finished speaking, the Wise One stretched out a hand to make a stopping gesture, "Feidisi, Dadaer, let the past be the past; look toward the future."

Just as Kuierpafen was lost in thought, the Wise One, sitting in the main seat of the sanctuary, spoke, seemingly not taking the recent changes in Keman to heart at all—

The saying "challenging the predetermined fate" might just be an exaggerated expression for those outside the Darkness Society, but for members of the Darkness Society, it was just the most ordinary fact; their very existence was the result of overcoming fate.

Can our cause really succeed?

At this time, another Apostle pointed out, "How is this the Wise One's fault! It was clearly Palisi; he had such a big reaction to just a little movement, completely ignoring the Wise One's plan. Who chose Palisi in the first place? That is whose fault!"

"However, the existence of Ailan, for the current Time Line, was not something that existed to begin with. Wanting to reverse the void and reality is in itself challenging the current Time Line, challenging the predetermined fate."

"The most urgent matter at present is to investigate the kidnapping of Aimo. The perpetrator actually impersonated the Divine Sword Mark; it must be investigated to the end. I want to see who is provoking us!"

Especially Kuierpafen, who had completely abandoned her public identity and gone underground according to the contingency plan this time; she was also Aimo's introducer, whose public identity was a Yierlan prophet, Yilanshaer.

Speaking to this point, the Wise One rose from his seat, came before the wall on one side of the sanctuary, stared at the intricate and exquisite patterns on the wall, and could not help but sigh:
