Once, I wanted to be a good person

Upon hearing Mandy’s mother’s words, Fang Ze realized he had been too captivated by the conversation and moved a bit too slowly.

However, the difference in power between himself and the two people before him was too great, so even if he was exposed, the consequences wouldn’t be terribly severe. Therefore, Fang Ze wasn’t panicked. Instead, he relaxed and mimicked Mandy’s tone, lowered his head, and apologized, "Sorry, Mother."

After speaking, he sped up his movements, placed the fruit on the table, and quickly left the room.

Perhaps because Fang Ze appeared too calm, even though Mandy’s mother felt that today’s "Mandy" was a bit strange, she only glanced at "Mandy" before retracting her gaze and continued chatting with the deputy general.

Fang Ze walked out the door, closing it behind him and blocking out the voices of Mandy’s mother and the deputy general’s conversation, only catching their last few phrases like "abandon the car to save the chess-piece" and "don’t startle the snake," before he heard nothing more.

Nevertheless, the information Fang Ze gathered from this probing was already valuable enough. As he pondered the conversation between Mandy’s mother and the deputy general, he wandered back to Mandy’s room.

Back in Mandy’s room, Fang Ze couldn’t help but start reflecting on the information he’d just received.

First, Fang Ze confirmed his suspicion: the disappearance case of the train was indeed orchestrated by a demigod, and it was the Peace Faction demigod, who was always friendly toward humans!

By verifying this alone, Fang Ze felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Furthermore, from their conversation, Fang Ze learned about the believer who could contact the Venerable Moon Rabbit. As he expected, it was Mandy’s great-grandmother, the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer.

So next, Fang Ze’s plan was simple: he just needed to imprison Mandy’s great-grandmother and transform into her, allowing him to meet the Venerable Moon Rabbit without obstruction.

Lastly, Fang Ze felt puzzled and confused by the information that Mandy’s mother said — the Venerable Moon Rabbit’s slumber this time was actually to contact the True God?

If this sentence was said by another outer realm creature, Fang Ze would mostly treat it as a joke. However... Mandy’s mother was an ascension-level expert. Such a level expert already had a certain understanding of demigods, venerables, and even the True God, unlike other lower-level Awakeners who spread rumors wildly.

Moreover, more importantly, this sentence was said privately by Mandy’s mother: meaning she wasn’t making baseless claims due to a propaganda mission, without the need to lie.

Besides, Mandy’s mother was considered to be of high status among the Moon Rabbits, she possibly did know some inside information, which made Fang Ze furrow his brows, his facial features almost twisted together, ’Could there actually be a True God? It shouldn’t be....’

Fang Ze slapped his face to calm himself down. He began analyzing the possibility of the existence of the True God.

According to legends circulating among outer realms, achieving True God could end the world’s reincarnation and make one’s race the protagonist of the universe.

Thus, if a True God indeed exists, the world shouldn’t still be in endless reincarnation.

Moreover... If the Venerable Moon Rabbit truly could communicate with the True God, and the Moon Rabbit clan truly received protection from the True God. Damn it, why would their domain war fail?

With domain barriers and help from billions of Moon Rabbits, the True God still couldn’t defeat those venerables and demigods? Fang Ze found it unreasonable.

So, he thought there were only two possibilities: either the True God wasn’t as powerful as imagined.

Or... The Venerable Moon Rabbit didn’t know what kind of existence she communicated with, and mistakenly believed the entity was the True God.

Or perhaps, the Venerable Moon Rabbit actually deceived even her most loyal believer.

Thinking this way, Fang Ze felt slightly assured, and then decided to wait until he had imprisoned the Venerable Moon Rabbit before trying to assess the true nature of the so-called True God. To see what kind of figure could trick a venerable and even dare to proclaim themselves as a True God: wasn’t this stealing business from the Late-Night Investigation Room!

However, all this was a matter for the future. What Fang Ze needed to do next was to find the old Divine Officer, transform into her; only then would he have the opportunity to meet the Venerable Moon Rabbit.

Thus thinking, Fang Ze transferred his consciousness to the body in the Late-Night Investigation Room and began extracting information about the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer from Mandy.

Half an hour later, Fang Ze finally had a certain understanding of the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer.

According to Mandy’s inner revelation: the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer is a position only Mandy’s most close and trusted believers can hold, representing the Venerable Moon Rabbit and exercising demigod rights as the Emissary of the God!

The Moon Rabbit Divine Officer is typically held for life, only competed by other high-ranking officials of the Moon Rabbit Palace after the death of the previous Moon Rabbit Divine Officer. The current Moon Rabbit Divine Officer was Mandy’s great-grandmother, who was Mandy’s mother’s grandmother.

The Moon Rabbit clan reproduces so prolifically that Mandy’s great-grandmother bore twelve daughters over several decades, with Mandy’s grandmother ranking eighth.

And Mandy’s grandmother had seven daughters, with Mandy’s mother ranking fourth. From this, one can discern the size of this family.

Additionally, because the family is so enormous, Mandy isn’t familiar with her great-grandmother, nor even with her grandmother.

Thus, if Fang Ze rashly sought out the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer, it could easily raise suspicion.

Plus, the Moon Rabbit Divine Officer’s power had reached the absolute pinnacle decades ago, considered as an old master of that level. If Fang Ze wanted to avoid startling the snake, it would be best to allow her to relax her vigilance.
