Chapter 417 The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility

Upon hearing Wu Chang's reply, Hou Jingchuan advised:
"Actually, the impact of the faith virus is only likely to affect you, if you do it more discreetly..."

He only realized what he was saying halfway through, and his persuasive words came to an abrupt halt.

Wu Chang's quick agreement caught him off guard. Before deciding to use the Faith Virus, he had a general understanding of Wu Chang's situation from Jian Xing and Leng Shan.

Not only Jianxing, but even the steady and calm Lengshan patted his chest and assured him that Wu Chang's condition was definitely not normal and that he must have been exposed to something.

That makes sense, considering that Wu Chang first entered the trial instance more than ninety days ago.

In just three months, he went from a newbie to a seasoned player in the Abyss game to a seasoned player. If he's not the problem, then all the other Abyss game players are.

Wu Chang's illegal methods might have been acceptable in the past, but things are different now. The Faith Virus reports directly to the Abyss Game administrators, and the four major organizations have tested them many times with great success.

Wu Chang agreed so readily; wasn't he being a bit too disrespectful to the Abyss Game Administrator?

He hesitated for a moment, then reminded him:
"Your Excellency Peace, perhaps you are unaware that the Abyss Game truly has administrators. Perhaps you should reconsider?"

Wu Chang shook his head and said:
"A clear conscience fears no accusation. I have come this far because all my strategies and procedures have been legal and compliant, unlike those followers of evil gods who use crooked methods to disrupt the balance of the Abyss game."

Hou Jingchuan suddenly understood; He Pingkai was not afraid of being sealed off.

Like a certain game, it cracked down hard on skin-changing software, but when faced with malicious scripts, it stubbornly insisted that it could not be detected, even when someone used a script to record the screen and report it, the official team did nothing in the aftermath.

Between the two, it's like the believer in the evil god and Wu Chang.

They report the followers of the evil god, and the Abyss Game will immediately launch a heavy crackdown on them, making the followers of the evil god tremble at the mere mention of the faith virus.

But if they report Wu Chang, Wu Chang will only raise a middle finger and say disdainfully, "If it's not banned, it's not a cheat."

That's high-class.

Having figured out the key points, the people in the management bureau looked at Wu Chang with envy.

Wu Chang was bewildered by the stares from everyone. Ignoring their gazes, he asked:

"When do I need to bring the Faith Virus to the Realm of Reason?"

When it came to serious matters, Hou Jingchuan said solemnly:
“The faith virus cannot be transported too early, for fear that if it stays in the realm of reason for too long, the society of light will get wind of it. The transportation time cannot be too late either, as we must give the Order faction time to release the faith virus.”

"If possible, I would like you to transport the Faith Virus to the Realm of Reason three to four days before the start of the world instance."

"To ensure the secrecy of the operation, the specific timing will be decided by you personally."

Wu Chang tapped his fingers lightly on the conference table. It was three to four days before the world instance started. The timing was really coincidental, just in time to make it to the realm of reason with Julie.

He immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, we'll do as you say."

"There's one last thing I need to confirm: when do you plan to detonate the faith virus?"

The use of the Faith Virus is divided into two stages. The first stage is the spread of the Faith Virus. In this stage, the Faith Virus stimulates the immune mechanism of the plane, allowing the immune mechanism to mark violations that affect the order.

The second stage will only begin when the time is right: the outbreak of the faith virus, reporting it to the Abyss Game administrators, and triggering the Abyss Game's suppressive force.

If it's targeting ordinary evil god cults, only members of the four major organizations in the Desolate Realm need to bring the Faith Virus into the world instance; Wu Chang doesn't need to send the Faith Virus to the Realm of Reason alone.

Hou Jingchuan and others also planted a faith virus in the realm of reason, in order to ignite the Light Society. Therefore, the timing of the second phase of detonation is crucial.

If the conflict had been detonated too early, and the Guangming Society hadn't been deeply involved, they would have had time to distance themselves and avoid being implicated.

Hou Jingchuan looked at Wu Chang and said with a sincere expression:
"In fact, we would also like to ask you to take charge of the timing of triggering the faith virus."

"The fact that an S-rank, nearly out-of-control instance appeared in this qualification instance is enough to show that the difficulty of the upcoming world instance will be far greater than before. The faith virus is spreading in the instance, and the out-of-control instance will be more difficult than we expected."

"Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that, apart from you, no one dares to be sure that he can judge what the best time is in the instance, and no one even dares to say that they can survive until the best time."

Hou Jingchuan stood up, and the other four high-ranking members of the four major organizations in the meeting room followed suit, rising in unison to address Wu Chang:

“Your Excellency Peace, only you are capable of doing this.”

Wu Chang: ...

No, you've become attached to him, haven't you?
Previously, it was said that he was needed to handle the matter of the faith virus. It turns out that it's not just about transporting the faith virus, but also about judging the timing.

He wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he stopped himself from speaking.

Although it seems like all the trouble has been pushed onto him, to be honest, he really wouldn't feel comfortable letting anyone else use such a powerful weapon.

First, there's the concern that the holder might have been bribed by the Bright Society, or that they might die as soon as they enter the instance, thus disrupting the plan; second, there's the concern that, as Hou Jingchuan said, the guy with the detonator couldn't hold back and pressed the report button prematurely, even though it wasn't the optimal time.

He was different. His intuition was sharp enough to detect the movements of the Light Society, and he also had the Omniscient Crystal to aid his judgment, making it difficult for him to make a mistake.

From another perspective, Hou Jingchuan and others were unaware that the feud between him and the Guangming Society was far deeper than they imagined, to the point of being irreconcilable.

He was planning to take action against the Light Society in order to make his entry into the Realm of Reason more comfortable in the future.

From Hou Jingchuan's perspective, they used his power to complete their rebellion against the Brightness Society. But in Wu Chang's eyes, handing over the detonator of the faith virus to him was equivalent to him getting the faith virus from the four major organizations for free.

You have to understand, the manufacturing cost of the Faith Virus alone is no less than that of an S-class item. If he were to do it himself, he wouldn't be able to find such a good method.

However, at the negotiating table, he cannot let the other party feel that he has gained an advantage.

He stared at the table with a somber expression, his eyes deep in thought. Only when Hou Jingchuan and the others standing there looked uneasy did he sigh and say helplessly:

"With great power comes great responsibility. Things have come to this point, and I can't shirk my responsibilities."

When everyone saw that Wu Chang had agreed, their faces lit up with joy, and they all praised Wu Chang for his righteousness.

Hou Jingchuan quickly said:
"Within the four major organizations, there are still enough unfinished products of the faith virus. We need a day or two to complete the final processing."

"We will contact you once the faith virus is completed."

Wu Chang nodded and said, "I'll wait for your news."

Throughout the entire process, whether it was fighting against the Light Society or deciding to use the Faith Virus, the four major organizations never consulted with other organizations.

Compared to Wu Chang, the four major organizations may be somewhat inferior, but compared to other forces in the Desolate Realm, even though they have suffered internal strife and lost nearly half of their power, they still hold absolute authority.

Regarding the fate of the Desolate Realm, others only need to obey and do not need to participate.

Having finished explaining the most important matters, the four major organizations saw no need to linger there and immediately instructed their subordinates to expedite the interrogation and leave as soon as possible.

In the current Wilderness, players are more anxious about the countdown to the world dungeon than they are about how many days are left until the college entrance examination. Time is precious and cannot be wasted on small fry like the Totem Organization.

While Wu Changzhen and I were having a meeting with the four major organizations, the main body located in Wanghai City received two messages.

The first message came from a follower of the Yongguang sect in Wanghai City. The sender was named Li Xingyao, a well-known entrepreneur in Wanghai City and a close friend of Tang Renquan.

Since becoming a player and joining Revelation, Tang Renquan has been thinking about bringing his former friends together to convert to the embrace of the true God.

When Tang Renquan was preaching in Wanghai City, Li Xingyao followed Tang Renquan to join the Revelation sect. Later, on the night Wu Chang seized the earthly kingdom of God, he became a believer of the Yongguang sect.

Li Xingyao is capable, has a wide network of connections, and comes from a well-connected family. Among ordinary people in Wanghai City, he belongs to the top tier of the pyramid. Wu Chang then entrusted him with the missionary work of Yongguang Church and the site selection for the super factory.

He also promised Li Xingyao that if things went well, he would appoint him as archbishop in the future.

Li Xingyao had assured Wu Chang that he would finalize the location of the super factory within three days, and just as he said, he had already completed the task before the morning of the third day.

Wu Chang put on a disguise mask and followed Li Xingyao to the designated location.

First was Yongguang Cathedral. Li Xingyao chose the location within a church in the old town. The church, named Garden Cathedral, boasted a prime location, situated in a park at the intersection of residential and commercial areas, with a surrounding plaza.

This church is an old building in Wanghai City, with a history of over seventy years. It was once a Christian church.

The building has a unique design and is one of the landmark buildings in Wanghai City. It has undergone several renovations.

The development plan for the old town has been changed several times. During the peak of the real estate boom, many old buildings were demolished and high-rises were built. However, here, due to protests from a large number of believers, not only were the buildings preserved, but the surrounding parks were also left unchanged. Unexpectedly, Wu Chang benefited from this.

Wu Chang asked curiously, "How did you get this church without any objections from the believers?"

This church has stood for seventy years, and many believers were baptized in the Garden Cathedral from birth. They have a deep affection for the church and would not easily accept changing their allegiance.

Li Xingyao exclaimed, "It is because of the greatness of my Lord's existence that they accepted it."

Wu Chang: ?
How could he not know that Eileen had this ability?

"speak English."

Li Xingyao, his face showing both fervor and composure, began to explain to Wu Chang.

In choosing the main church of the Eternal Light Church, he selected three different churches and renovated them simultaneously.

He figured he'd just do it first and see what happened. If the protests weren't too loud, he'd treat all three places as the Eternal Light Church. If the protests were too loud and he couldn't handle it, he'd ask the gods for help.

In the early stages of the renovation of the Garden Cathedral, there were indeed many believers who came to protest.

The missionaries hired by Li Xingyao, with a "nothing to lose" attitude, used the narrative of the Steam Phantom Dimension to explain to the believers that the Eternal Light Church and the Cross Church had the same origin, and that the gods of the Eternal Light Church and the Cross Church were relatives.

Li Xingyao thought people would scoff at his claim, but to his surprise, they actually believed it.

Not only did they believe, but they also spontaneously spread the word, which not only made the renovation of the Garden Cathedral go smoothly, but also allowed them to fully accept the believers from the previous church.

Not only the Garden Cathedral, but the other two churches also exhibited the same situation.

"This effect was achieved entirely by the power of our Lord; we did nothing at all."

After Li Xingyao finished speaking, pride and fervor reappeared on his face.

He was different from the pseudo-believers at the Garden Church, who were old, die-hard believers who believed in the great eternal light itself, not in anyone's relatives.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chang couldn't help but click his tongue. Is this the true value of the highest-level temporary management authority over the desolate realm?

The Abyss game's announcement stated:

"The areas of the real world covered by the player's divine kingdom will be under the absolute control of the player, and the existence of the player and the divine kingdom will be in a state of absolute rationality."

He had assumed that the state of absolute rationality meant that people would not suspect the Yongguang Sect's incongruity in Wanghai City. He never expected that the state of absolute rationality would have such an absolute law.

Li Xingyao and other core believers look down on the pseudo-believers in the Garden Cathedral, but with Eileen, no matter what the reason for their faith in her is, the faith power contributed by the believers will not be diminished.

Gods never think they have too much divine power, especially the divine power of the current plane.

Wars between nations are essentially financial wars between them; war is a competition of spending money, and this theory applies equally to deities.

The battles between gods also consume the power of faith.

Aside from players being able to naturally recover divine power through their stamina attribute, the divine power of the original gods in the abyss can only be converted through the power of faith.

The higher the level of divine power, the more faith power it consumes.

For example, in the Steam Phantom dimension, the Undying Holy Flame that Eileen used only prevented the Executioner from self-destructing. The divine power consumed drained all the faith power she had gained from preaching in the slums, and she also sacrificed some of the faith power of the Silent Route dimension.

Why do gods go to such lengths to spread their religion and expand their kingdoms? Is it because every god is an ambitious person who enjoys being worshipped?

Of course not, it's all out of necessity.

If you don't develop followers, you'll have to be very careful when using skills in battles with other gods.

Others can use their orderly skills randomly, but when you use divine power you have to think carefully about whether to add special effects to your next attack. You wish you could split one unit of faith into eight pieces. How can you fight against others like that?

Players who ascend to godhood are less reliant on the power of faith, but the power of faith can still serve as a reserve energy source for players, which can be quickly converted into divine power during battle.

In a situation where players are evenly matched, a player with followers is stronger than a player without followers.

In the past, when Eileen took action in the real world, the divine power she consumed needed to be replenished by the power of faith from other planes. Even though Eileen had used the "Research Report on Miracles and Wish Power", the power of faith would still be depleted when transferred across planes.

If there are enough believers in the real world to store enough faith power, Eileen will not feel bad about wasting divine power when she fights with others.

Wu Chang was very satisfied with the Garden Cathedral. After leaving the cathedral, he got into Li Xingyao's car and headed to the eastern suburbs of Wanghai City.

The eastern suburbs of Wanghai City are the most industrialized area among the surrounding districts and counties.

Many large industrial parks are built in the eastern suburbs. The Tianmu Third District Industrial Park, which Li Xingyao chose, is one of the most well-known parks. More than 30% of the high-tech enterprises in Wanghai City are gathered here, earning it the nickname "Little Guigu of Wanghai".

It's not easy for ordinary people to get a factory in Tianmu Third District, but for Li Xingyao, as a major shareholder of Tianmu Industrial Park, finding a suitable factory site is not difficult.

The factory area chosen by Li Xingyao covers an area of ​​about 45,000 square meters. It is located in a corner of the industrial park, inconspicuous, and the buildings have just been renovated and can be used directly.

Wu Chang didn't care about the size of the factory area. He could use the Inner World to expand the area, and as long as it wasn't too small, it would be enough for his use.

Once the factory is operational, it will run entirely automatically. The gatekeepers will be devout believers, so there's no need to worry about the underworld being exposed.

However, he was very satisfied with Li Xingyao's choice, and he never hesitated to reward his capable subordinates.

As agreed, he promoted Li Xingyao to the position of Archbishop of the Eternal Light Sect and promised that as long as he continued to develop the church, he would be rewarded with the first fruit when the Tree of Miracles bore the "Fruit of Eternal Light".

Li Xingyao was not a superhuman, so he didn't understand what the Eternal Light Fruit was. But Wu Chang told him that eating the Eternal Light Fruit would grant him one reasonable wish, even if it was seven times every night. He understood immediately.

Upon learning of the effects of the Eternal Light Fruit, Li Xingyao's gaze became frighteningly resolute, his eyes filled with a desire to be loyal to the church.

Less than two hours after he and Li Xingyao finished exploring the industrial park, his phone rang, but the caller ID showed it was not in service.

Wu Chang answered the phone, and He Yun's voice came through, telling him that the super factory had been assembled and could begin to be moved.

Wu Chang had reason to suspect that He Yun had timed the meeting so perfectly that she had been checking on his situation through her phone's camera and receiver.

He sighed, took a step, and entered the Holy Song Company's dimension, appearing in the Holy Song Company's industrial park on the outskirts of Wildo City as He Yun had requested.

He recognized this place; it was here that he killed the Fly King, the incarnation of Farrell, when he was attacking the Anthem Company.

This industrial park is larger than all the districts of Tianmu Industrial Park combined, and half of the park belongs to Shengge Company.

A drone appeared in front of him, guiding him to the central warehouse. Inside the central warehouse, he saw He Yun, and hundreds of huge metal modules around He Yun.

Each metal block was a size larger than the peacekeeper.

Even if Wu Chang upgraded his spatial magic to the lord level and increased his personal space fivefold, he would still have to make more than thirty trips to transport all these guys to reality.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a massive project!"

He Yun herself was next to the module, adjusting a mechanical doll. The doll was about 80% similar to her and at first glance looked no different from a real person. Only when He Yun was adjusting it could various weapons pop out of the doll's body, making it clear that the mechanical doll in front of her was not a real person.

Wu Chang said, "My world is very safe. There is also Eileen's divine kingdom there. There is no need to equip it with so many weapons."

As He Yun made the final adjustments, he said:
"I have basically mastered the knowledge contained in the mechanical crown you sent me before. I created this doll so that I could go with you to the world where the mechanical crown was born and see those extraordinary steam engines with my own eyes."
