Chapter 831: The Future of the Butcher King Society
Chapter 831: The Future of the Butcher King Society
Whoever is willing to wear the sleep cap and help eliminate the God of Food will be promoted to the rank of Pillar God by the society.
Upon hearing the conditions set by Ouchen, not only did Princess Catherine's eyes widen in surprise, but the White Snake, who heard this through her earring, was also taken aback.
"Your Majesty!"
After blurting out these words, the White Snake anxiously reminded her:
"The True Gods who previously agreed to wear the sleep cap are already more than ten! If there are three to five more people, that means there will be over fifteen Pillar Gods! And if we include the promises made to the older members and Your Majesty, the total number of Pillar Gods might exceed twenty!
Your Majesty, although the rules of the present world are solid, and the number of humans and other beings is vast, it's uncertain if the world can support so many Pillar Gods appearing at once! Don't you want to reconsider?"
"No need."
Princess Catherine shook her head slightly, and Ouchen, standing beside her, spoke with determination:
"The God of Food is too dangerous. If we fail this time, the Purification Bureau will definitely use more than one numbered abnormal object to protect him. We will never have such a good opportunity again!
White Snake, go and write down what I just said directly on the top of the Law Scroll fragment. Then, take everyone to see it, to show them the society's sincerity!"
"But that's over twenty Pillar Gods..."
"That's something to consider for the future! The most important thing right now is to eliminate the God of Food!"
Interrupting the White Snake, Ouchen spoke with trepidation:
"His growth is too rapid, and the incomprehensible means he possesses are too numerous! Even before becoming a True God, he can partially resist my authority. If he crosses that threshold, or even goes further, he will be another Third Generation Director, and possibly even stronger!
When the Third Generation Director was still alive, the Purification Bureau directly controlled the Star Realm, completely blocking the passageways. It took nearly twenty years for them to fight their way from the Abyssal Bottom to Heaven's Summit. If they hadn't been stopped, all the True Gods in the present world might have been wiped out by him!
White Snake, I ask you, if a monster of the Third Generation Director's caliber were to appear in the future, do you think the Purification Bureau would make the same mistake again? Could they complete the plan they failed to accomplish back then?"
Oh...
Following Ouchen's description, Princess Catherine and her White Snake earring couldn't help but shudder at the imagined scenario.
Whether the present world can support so many Pillar Gods is one thing, but if they fail to eliminate the God of Food this time, it will be their own downfall! The previous Third Generation Director nearly wiped out all the True Gods in less than twenty years, and this 'New Third Generation' is much younger! Being hunted by a monster of this caliber for over a hundred years would mean certain death for anyone... Hmm?
As if suddenly remembering something, the lifelike White Snake earring turned and looked at Princess Catherine, who was wearing it.
Speaking of which, there seems to be someone who isn't afraid of the God of Food. If he escapes this time, the truth that the Magpie possesses might immediately become invaluable, and the more powerful the God of Food becomes, the higher the value of the Disaster Avoidance...
Wait a moment!
At this thought, White Snake's mind buzzed as she recalled the prophecy spoken by the Great Witch King when he met the Magpie disguised as Princess Catherine.
'I think I recognize who you are. Good luck, the future of the Butcher King Society depends on you!'
The future of the Butcher King Society depends on the Magpie... Could this be what he was referring to?
Facing the prophecy made by the Great Witch King, who was qualified to become the God of Time, White Snake couldn't help but shiver. She immediately withdrew her consciousness from the White Snake earring, leaving behind a resolute promise.
"I'll go find people right now! I'll bring as many as I can!"
"Go!"
Seeing that White Snake had also understood the importance of the matter, Ouchen nodded in satisfaction. Then, she turned to the 'Princess Catherine' beside her, her gaze flickering as she asked:
"Magpie, what are your plans now?
"Huh?"
Hearing the strange question from the Tale of Illusions, Princess Catherine couldn't help but pause slightly, then squeezed out a smile and pleasingly said:
"I don't have any specific ideas either. I'll just do as you say."
"Good."
Sensing that the Magpie was about to stir up trouble, seemingly ready to challenge her bedtime story, and then becoming 'well-behaved' again, the black raven couldn't help but nod slightly. Then, with a fixed gaze on Princess Catherine, it opened its beak to speak:
"Magpie, I know you don't want to face the God of Food. You think that with your Disaster Avoidance, you can still keep your life in his hands, so you've always wanted to withdraw from my plan..."
"I didn't..."
"You do."
Interrupting the Magpie, the Raven, the embodiment of the Tale of Illusions, spoke in a deep voice:
"You might not even realize it yourself, but your Disaster Avoidance is constantly conflicting with my truth. You want to avoid the dangers related to the God of Food, and although the degree of conflict isn't high, I can feel it very clearly."
"Well... I just..."
"Magpie, my truth is the Tale of Illusions, but I'm not someone who likes to tell lies. So, you don't need to think about hiding things from me, and I won't try to deceive you either."
The black raven opened its beak, its voice deep and steady as it promised:
"Rest assured, if there's really an unexpected turn of events, I'll immediately unravel the bedtime story and let you go. I won't force you to fight the God of Food to the bitter end. After all, if I fail, your Disaster Avoidance will be the best tool against him, and the Butcher King Society will need you."
The Raven, the embodiment of the Tale of Illusions, flapped its wings and spoke sincerely:
"I know that because you have an escape route, you have other plans in mind. But I just hope you can hold on a little longer and try to seize this last chance with me!"
Now that the White Snake has gone to find someone, my story will soon be back on track. As long as you're willing to persist a little longer, we will definitely be able to eliminate this major threat for the society!"

"Alright..."
Facing the Tale of Illusions, who could have forcefully compelled her but instead chose to speak honestly, Princess Catherine's eyes flashed with a touch of emotion. She slowly nodded and promised:
"I will... What exactly do I need to do?"
Phew... Finally, the biggest source of instability has been dealt with.
Seeing the Magpie, who had been persuaded and finally let go of other thoughts, no longer randomly challenging her own story, the Tale of Illusions couldn't help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. Then, with a gentle expression, it spoke:
"Just hold firm to your beliefs and choose to face the God of Food. I've just strengthened the constraints of the bedtime story with those newly added elements, and the God of Food will soon follow the predetermined plot..."
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Just then, a rapid knocking sound interrupted the Tale of Illusions' words. A close attendant outside the door anxiously shouted:
"Your Highness! Prince Lyon has blocked the Great Witch Court and demands to see you immediately!"
"Coming."
Seeing that the story, which had already broken free from control, was finally back on track, Princess Catherine's raven couldn't help but reveal a smile in its eyes. Then, it urged:
"Let's go, the next story node has arrived. Now, it's our turn to take the lead!"
"Um... Can we wait a moment?"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Princess Catherine standing still, the Raven, the embodiment of the Tale of Illusions, tilted its head in confusion, its eyes full of puzzlement as it asked:
"Do you have any other questions?"
"Well... there's not really a big issue."
Facing the Tale of Illusions' puzzled gaze, Princess Catherine couldn't help but return an awkward smile and explained:
"It's just that when I heard the name of the God of Food, my legs suddenly went stiff, and I can't seem to move them..."
"..."
