Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 941 Sardin and Victor
"This is too outrageous."

Wu Mingyue was somewhat incredulous. "The first step of this series of missions requires killing a Naga general and obtaining the Secret Bottle! Could other Awakened teams kill a Naga general? And they must be carrying the Secret Bottle?"

Wu Qingyun also pondered for a moment, which was unusual for her: "They still need to decipher the contents and capture the Naga spies... But Gallius only has one wife. Could it be that the Naga replaced his brothers or subordinates, and were found out by the other two Awakened teams?"

Bai Pu shook his head and said:

"I don't mean that there are two awakened teams that replicated our quest chain."

"Instead, they gained Gallius's favor through other quest chains, proving their team's strength... which led Gallius to entrust them with the important task of infiltrating the Naga and discovering the Naga army's movements!"

The map of the Ascended Plane is much larger than any of the other Awakened maps Bai Pu has experienced.

Consider this: three thousand Silver Heart Major Generals entered the Ascension Plane, but Bai Pu has only seen no more than ten teams of Awakened Ones so far, at most a hundred.

The other Silverheart Major Generals must have been matched with other imperial territories or barbarian territories.

Of those, about 20-30% are unable to start the Ascension main quest; this is the initial screening.

Major generals who receive the Ascension questline will travel to the New World with a privateering caravan of the indigenous nobles.

However, only a small number of people can obtain a privateer's license issued by the Empire or the barbarians to complete Ascension Quest 1.

According to Bai Pu's estimate, there might only be one or two teams in a city or even a territory that could obtain a privateer's license at this time—proportionally speaking, only one or two out of ten awakened major generals could do it.

This small group, comprising one or two percent of the team, totaling three to four hundred people, should be the elite Gaia Major Generals in this Spirit World War.

Among these top-tier major generals, some who possess both luck and strength will participate in the most significant event of this ascension to the next plane through various missions.

—A Naga conspiracy!
Gallius was the commander of the Imperial Vanguard.

It's not surprising that two teams of top major generals from the Empire were ahead of Bai Pu and made contact with Gallius first to infiltrate the Naga.

As the commander of the legion, Gallius's strategy of casting a wide net, sending out multiple spies to collect intelligence and hand it over to the staff for discussion and judgment before deciding on the Imperial fleet's attack targets... is not surprising at all!
Those elite major general teams were carefully selected and organized 13 cosmic days before entering the Black Tide world.

Some people may be strong and skilled in direct confrontation, some may be nimble and adept at intelligence gathering, some may have high charisma and be good at persuading indigenous people... and there are also secondary professions such as blacksmith, alchemist, etc., so they must be very well-rounded.

This is the advantage of forming a team in advance. Those 13 cosmic days were the time that Gaia's will specially reserved for its generals to prepare together!

Bai Pu appears calm and collected on the surface, but he is actually quite anxious inside.

The mission has progressed to the fourth step, and the objective has coincided with that of someone else.

If someone beats you to it, causing your consecutive tasks to fail, you'll truly lose everything.

Up to now, the rewards from this series of missions have all been carried over to the next step. Bai Pu did gain some benefits from it, such as the recipe for the [Witch's Transformation Elixir], his noble status, and some points.

However, the final step of the continuous mission yields the greatest rewards and the most points!

……

Coral Rift Valley.

Bai Pu, along with the two shamans, searched through this long, narrow, and beautiful rift valley.

In fact, the main force behind the search was Korxasis and Navia, those two Naga traitors.

Soon, Navia sent a report: "Master, we have indeed discovered traces of Naga scouts. There are some special markings that can only be recognized by fellow Naga. These scouts are mapping the terrain of the Coral Rift."

Kossasis arrived shortly afterward: "Master, we have discovered a covered battlefield. Judging from the traces of the battle, one side should be the Coral Guardians, monsters from Coral Rift, while the other side is the Naga Scouts."

Bai Pu hummed in agreement: "My speculation has been confirmed. Since Naga scouts have appeared in Coral Rift, the Naga army's main base is most likely here."

Bai Pu exhaled a breath of magic power, and under the manipulation of his mental energy, a three-dimensional map appeared.

Bai Pu's fingertip touched the west side of the Coral Rift.

—Anemone Forest!
Why were other areas excluded?

Because the eastern side is the Shining Plain, where privateers and transport caravans of the empire's nobles come and go, it's impossible for a large army to hide there silently.

To the north lies New Iron City, which is also densely populated.

As for the south of Coral Rift... it's too far away. Unless the Naga army all had wings and flew there, it would be impossible for them to break camp there. Besides, it's far from the planned center of the major event—"Tidal Cliffs."

……

Anemone Forest

A team of awakened major generals hid in a cave at the root of a giant petrified sea anemone that was hundreds of meters tall.

Several Naga scouts were bound in front of them.

"Lord Sardin, these are all the Naga scouts we can capture right now."

The leader, a tall man clad entirely in silver plate armor, sat on a simple stone bench, yet looked down upon the crowd as if he were on a throne blessed by the gods.

He is the leader of the "Covenant Team," and the second strongest player on the power ranking list.

Sardin the Redeemer!
“Sing hymns to cleanse their sinful bodies and minds. Let them turn to the Holy Light and be reborn,” Sadin said slowly.

In layman's terms, it's brainwashing.

Among the team were two female major generals who served as "preparatory lead singers" at the Temple of the Covenant, who sang together.

The hymns they sang were not in any known language, but rather in some complex and incomprehensible symbols and syllables. These symbols and syllables seemed to have a tangible quality, emanating pale golden arcs of light.

As the pale golden arc of light spread, the anger, resentment, and hatred on the faces of the Naga scouts gradually softened.

But there was one Naga scout who was not cleansed by the hymn. Instead, he became more and more tormented and finally vomited out large clumps of black thread!

"Shadow Mage! Brother, this Naga scout has been manipulated by the Shadow Mage Victor!" Alvarez, a newly promoted major general, quickly reported.

"Damn it, the other racer we're competing against is that guy Victor."

Sardin swiftly swung his sword, killing the Naga scout. His expression was grim.

"We must speed things up... Once the conversion is complete, send these Naga scouts to infiltrate the Naga army camp!"
