Once, I wanted to be a good person

Upon learning of this matter, the demigod was quite startled and hurriedly reported the information to the venerable ones of his faction.

That venerable one was evidently unaware of the issue. Therefore, upon receiving the news, they promptly arranged for the demigods of their faction to verify it.

As soon as the investigation started, leaks were inevitable. During this period, more and more demigods and venerables became aware of the information. In their shock, they all contacted believers in the Real World to confirm the truthfulness of the information.

Thus, before long, the venerables and demigods learned the whole story, knew about the capture of Venerable Yuan Gu, and officially learned about Fang Ze....

If Fang Ze was previously just one candidate among the mysterious persons, now he was almost completely exposed.

In such circumstances, especially those venerables who had just gone to war couldn’t wait to charge into the Real World and slay Fang Ze.

Furthermore, because this was the first time in many years of world reincarnation that there appeared the ability and items capable of imprisoning and controlling venerables and demigods, the venerables of Heaven Beyond the Heavens were also very concerned about this matter.

During this period, the venerables were almost never idle, constantly engaging in private contacts, exchanging opinions, and searching for solutions.

One could say that after Fang Ze’s identity was exposed, he single-handedly stirred up disturbances in Heaven Beyond the Heavens.

After listening to the Flower God’s story, Fang Ze nodded slightly.

All of this was almost within his expectations: the capabilities of the Late-Night Investigation Room were just too buggy. After being made public, they naturally incited panic and concern among the demigods of the outer realm.

However, this was exactly Fang Ze’s intention.

During his second conversation with Old Mr. Bai, Fang Ze learned many secrets and received a lot of advice.

The most important piece was: never let the Human Race fall into the rhythm of the demigods.

Humans only participated in the first boundary war and were completely groping forward, but those outer realm demigods had experienced an unknown number of boundary wars. They knew how to infiltrate a race, knew how to gradually infiltrate, instigate the weak-willed among them, and knew how to boil the frog in water to destroy this world.

In their investigation into the demigods, humans found that more than 85% of reincarnation worlds were not forcibly breached and destroyed by outer realm demigods; most were gradually infiltrated, gradually brainwashed, and were internally breached by the Pathfinder Faction, actively attracting demigods to collectively descend into their world, harvesting the populace.

Therefore, in Old Mr. Bai’s view, the infiltration by demigods was more terrifying than their military might as a trump card.

In recent years, the human world has already shown signs of this. The complete infiltration of Tuoya Province, with tens of thousands of troops brainwashed, indicates the infiltration crisis faced by the human world now: the Eastern Administrative Region is already considered the best, most peaceful area, yet even its situation is dire; one can imagine the state of other administrative regions.

Therefore, Fang Ze must disrupt the rhythm of the outer realm demigods, throw them into chaos, and make them start making blunders and mistakes.

As for whether Fang Ze’s aggressive approach would bring the final battle forward, Fang Ze had already considered this: it would not.

The boundary barrier was still at its peak; forget about venerables, even a demigod’s true body couldn’t descend without sufficient sacrifices.

In such a situation, venerables collectively descending into the Real World and starting the final battle is simply impossible.

As for whether Fang Ze’s actions would startle them, making the venerables more vigilant, preventing Fang Ze from capturing new venerables?

Fang Ze had already devised his own plans....

Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn’t help coming back to his senses, then asked the Flower God, "Have you completed the list I asked you to compile?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s inquiry, the Flower God threw a flirtatious glance at him and said, "Of course."

She then reached into her collar and pulled out a slip of paper, handing it to Fang Ze.

Fang Ze took the slip, which recorded the names of venerables who had territories in Heaven Beyond the Heavens but had not appeared for at least ten years: they were Fang Ze’s targets.

Since the last battle with Yuan Gu, Fang Ze realized that with the power he currently held, along with Venerable Yuan Gu’s lack of cooperation, trying to defeat a venerable head-on was too difficult. Adding the premise of "not alerting other outer realm demigods" made it nearly impossible.

Thus, since that battle, Fang Ze had been pondering whether there was another method to help him capture venerables.

As he pondered, he did devise a method.

Fang Ze remembered information he had received from Dahei Jialuo, the Flower God, and even Teng: to while away their near-endless time and replenish their lifespan, demigods would go into slumber every once in a while.

The duration of this slumber could be as short as a few years or as long as centuries, varying greatly.

Though venerables had nearly infinite divine power, they too needed to replenish their lifespan and while away time, so they would slumber as well.

The old monsters lurking deep in the outer realm, because they slept in their demigod secret realms, were beyond Fang Ze’s reach. But let’s not forget, Heaven Beyond the Heavens had over a hundred venerables.
