Chapter 1055 Conclusive Evidence

"Me? Intentionally hindering you?"

Kongming cried out anxiously, "I didn't! That spear demon was chasing us. We panicked and lost several companions. Such a heavy price, just to stop you from doing the King's side quest? What good does this do us?"

Bai Pu could have avoided wasting time talking to Kong Ming.

However, the spirit world contract signed with Kongming beforehand was a shackle that prevented Bai Pu from taking action against Kongming.

To break this contract, one must submit evidence of "Void hindering oneself" to the will of Gaia for judgment.

Normally, Gaia's will manages the notarized contracts between awakened beings through fixed rules.

When the will of Gaia is required to make a judgment, one must call upon the gaze of the will of Gaia to actively watch over one's eyes.

To paraphrase a saying from Blue Star, "If the people don't complain, the officials won't investigate."

Now that Bai Pu is suing Kong Ming for violating the contract, he naturally needs to explain the reasons for his deduction and submit it to Gaia's will for judgment.

Gaia's will is very fair. Even though Bai Pu is a Gaia Major General and Kong Ming is just an ordinary evolved being, He will not favor Bai Pu.

"You're stopping me not for any personal gain, but simply because it's an order from your master."

Bai Pu said calmly, "Do you remember? This King's side quest is called 'Confrontation Mission'."

Kong Ming was a little nervous: "Of course I remember. I even asked you about it back then, and you said that it was because the evolved beings from the demon faction also came in that there was factional conflict..."

That was to lull you into a false sense of security.

Bai Pu said, "I have gathered more information than you can imagine. This factional conflict does not refer to the human faction versus the demon faction... because the human side does not know about the 'Immortal Throne Secret Realm', nor has it launched any attack on the secret realm! The faction is located in the Ember Wasteland, which is surrounded by high-level demons and there is not a single human in sight, which is proof of this."

After a pause, Bai Pu took out the book "The Immortal Legend" and continued:

"The truth behind this factional conflict is that it's a battle between the 'Gaia Faction' and the 'God Faction'! I belong to the Gaia Faction, and at the same time, the chosen ones from the God Faction, who are also watching this secret realm, have also arrived in this secret realm..."

"The evidence is in this book. During the Immortal King's growth, a deity watched over him and gave him the seed of blessing. On the Immortal King's path to becoming a top-tier powerhouse, the deity provided him with much assistance, but when the Immortal King finally ignited the divine fire and attempted to ascend to godhood, he failed due to the deity's sabotage!"

The group of evolved beings in the Kongming team all had somewhat vacant looks in their eyes.

Kongming gritted his teeth and said, "So what if it's a conflict between the Gaia camp and the divine camp? I belong to the Gaia camp! As for how the chosen ones of the gods sneaked in, that's none of my business!"

"No, it has something to do with you!"

Bai Pu stated decisively, "There's no such coincidence. When we entered the secret realm and triggered the quest, the chosen ones of the divine faction also entered. They couldn't possibly have a second set of the Immortal King's Set; and if they had entered through some back door or secret passage, they could have entered long ago, not now!"

"The only explanation is that they've been secretly monitoring me through you... When I put on the Immortal King's Set and entered the secret realm, they somehow managed to sneak into it!"

As for the specific method used, Bai Pu couldn't figure it out. But based on speculation, it was nothing more than "imitation," "concealment," or "infiltration."

Furthermore, the chosen ones of the gods belong to the category of "otherworldly travelers." The fact that they came to the world of Saints and Demons: Hatred, yet did not trigger the "Scavenger" quest, raises some intriguing questions.

Bai Pu only knew one way: to secretly match himself with the spirit world controlled by Gaia's will through an internal traitor within Gaia's camp.

As for how to circumvent the fixed rules of Gaia's will, there must be some behind-the-scenes manipulation by deities or divine messengers.

And these members of the Kongming team in front of him are the "Evolver traitors" that Bai Pu has identified!
At least Kongming, the leader of the team, was a traitor. As for the others, Bai Pu didn't know whether there were any traitors, or how many there were.

Kongming likely also has some kind of surveillance method on Bai Pu—energy cannot be released and skills cannot be used in the secret realm, so priority is no longer useful. Kongming is using some special divine item to monitor Bai Pu, and it is indeed very likely that Bai Pu will not discover it.

Therefore, when Bai Pu seized a piece of ivory and fled towards Elder Valley, Kong Ming used the demons' pursuit to hinder Bai Pu's actions.

“Steelheart, you’re far too suspicious. All of this is just your speculation! Based on this alone, your appeal to Gaia’s will will most likely fail. I advise you not to waste your energy.”

Kong Ming remained calm.

All the doubts Bai Pu raised can be explained in other ways.

For example, the fact that the spear demon was used to hinder Bai Pu's mission can be explained as a desperate act of panic.

For example, the smuggling of the chosen ones of the gods could be explained as an evolutionary traitor within an unknown team, not necessarily the Void team.

Based solely on these seemingly plausible but ultimately dubious points, can they attract the active attention of Gaia's will to investigate the truth?
It certainly wouldn't work if it were any other Gaia Major General. After all, the Gaia Will is extremely busy and wouldn't go to the trouble of investigating without solid evidence. There are tens of thousands of Gaia Major Generals in the Galactic Heart alone. Looking at the entire human universe, how many Gaia Major Generals are there?
However, Bai Pu is a Lord-level evolved general and a superhuman seed of the Gaia Group. He might receive some preferential treatment, and there is a small chance that the Gaia Will will take special care of him.
That's why Kongming said "most likely cannot pass", rather than "definitely cannot pass".

“There is also solid evidence.”

Bai Pu suddenly said, "Kong Ming, do you know when I started to have doubts about you?"

Kong Ming sensed something was wrong and forced a smile, saying, "You're so suspicious, who would know?"

"From the very first time we met."

Bai Pu said leisurely, "You once said something that impressed me deeply—'On the Immortal Throne, it is possible to find a way to upgrade the spear.'"

"What's wrong with this sentence?" Kong Ming also remembered this sentence.

"You should know that there are two ways to obtain Tier 1 purple equipment."

Bai Pu smiled slightly: "The first way is to kill a king-level creature in the Awakener plane and open a purple treasure chest to obtain it. This way you get 'one-star king-level' equipment."

"The second method is to help Gaia's will seize the sacred artifacts in the Awakened Plane, and then use the extra sacred artifacts as a reward to ask Gaia's will to transform the sacred artifacts into equipment! The transformed equipment is 'Two-Star King-level'."

"Only the second method can be used to obtain a 'two-star king-level' purple weapon that can be upgraded to the second tier."

Bai Pu's tone suddenly changed, "Then explain yourself: how do you know that my Doomsday Spear is a two-star purple weapon transformed from a sacred artifact, and not a one-star purple weapon obtained from a purple treasure chest?"
