Chapter 334 Chaos Abounds
Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, the expressions of all the titled reincarnators present changed.

They all knew very well how terrifying an intelligent god was.

Spreading the myth of God and guiding souls to faith—all of this is orchestrated by an intelligent God.

If they were to truly corrupt the mythology of God, it would mean standing completely against this cyber god, thus becoming involved in the disputes between these top figures.

For titled reincarnators who are used to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in various worlds, this is definitely the last thing they want to see.

Once you get involved in this level of competition, the slightest misstep can lead to utter ruin.

However, Lu Yan seemed to ignore the changing expressions on the faces of these titled reincarnators, as well as the hesitation and struggle deep within their hearts, and simply spoke indifferently:

"From the moment you were sent to this world by the God of God, you have involuntarily stepped into this invisible battlefield."

To think one can remain uninvolved and watch from the sidelines is utterly delusional.

At this point, Lu Yan's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile.

"To tell you the truth, your belief that City Fourteen is a safe haven, including the so-called Heavenly Code that can shield you from the prying eyes of an intelligent God, has been wrong from the very beginning."

City Fourteen cannot truly block the gaze of the intelligent God.

"It's just that this area isn't yet fully covered by the celestial canopy, which limits the perception of the intelligent god. It needs to rely on the real world's networks and electronic media to monitor the city's interior, but that doesn't mean you're safe there."

"In fact, your every move has already fallen into the eyes of the intelligent God."

The reason He has not yet dealt with you intruders is not because He is incapable, but because He is happy to see more souls, whether through war or other means, continuously sent into that world of souls called Heaven, in order to accelerate the completion of His magnificent myth of Heaven.

As for those soul towers you destroyed, they may not be that important to Him.

That's nothing more than a tool for collecting souls; it can be destroyed and rebuilt.

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, and all the titled reincarnators were suddenly startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

They had always thought that City Fourteen was impregnable, but it turned out to be just a self-deceiving illusion.

Their supposedly clandestine actions were actually under the watchful eye of an intelligent God all along?!
"Speaker, is everything you've said true?" A titled reincarnator, dressed in an ancient Taoist robe and exuding an air of otherworldly grace, couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly.

Lu Yan merely glanced at him indifferently, and in a flat tone that was almost like stating a fact, softly asked, "Do you think you are worth my effort to deceive?"

This seemingly plain rhetorical question struck like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of all the titled reincarnators hard.

Upon hearing this, most of the titled reincarnators present believed it.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. From their perspective, this mysterious and unpredictable Speaker's strength is unfathomable. He could probably crush them, these so-called titled powerhouses, as easily as ants with just a flick of his finger.

With such a vast difference in strength, the other party had absolutely no need to waste words deceiving these beings, who in his eyes were perhaps no different from ants.

Having figured this out, many titled reincarnators immediately began to panic uncontrollably.

These reincarnators came to this world primarily to complete the tasks assigned by the main god.

From their standpoint, they are naturally on the opposite side of the intelligent God who controls this world.

Now they suddenly realize that their greatest reliance, City Fourteen, is utterly incapable of protecting their safety, and that the intelligent God could strike them down with lightning speed at any moment and wipe them out completely.

This feeling of having one's fate completely in the hands of others, and having no say in life or death, is absolutely unacceptable to these titled reincarnators who are used to controlling everything.

Since they were already destined to stand on the opposite side of the intelligent God, and faced the risk of being purged at any time, then at this moment, agreeing to Lu Yan's task of polluting the myth of God did not seem so unacceptable.

At least it seems like a way to temporarily save one's life, or even a chance to survive.

Moreover, although Speaker Lu Yan may seem easier to talk to on the surface compared to the two lofty beings, the Supreme God and the Intelligent God, no one really dares to treat him as a nice guy who can be easily fooled.

If you want to refuse his request, you must first carefully consider whether you can bear the possible consequences of refusing.

In the blink of an eye, the numerous titled reincarnators reached a consensus through eye contact and thought exchange.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, what exactly should we do to effectively corrupt that so-called myth of God?" Blood River Demon Lord withdrew his fawning expression and asked cautiously, his tone full of probing.

Lu Yan glanced at the Blood River Demon Lord and the reincarnators behind him who were also holding their breath and waiting for an answer, and said in his usual casual tone:

"You are all well-traveled and knowledgeable people who have experienced countless worlds and all kinds of storms."

I have faith in your professional abilities in this matter. As for the specifics of how to proceed, I'll leave that to you; I won't interfere too much.

"Of course, in order to coordinate with your actions, and also to further attract the attention of the intelligent God, I will mobilize all the troops in City Fourteen, as well as those lower-level reincarnators with considerable strength, to launch a large-scale all-out war against the area controlled by the global behemoth."

As he spoke, Lu Yan gently waved his right hand, and hundreds of golden streaks of light appeared out of thin air as if they were alive, emitting a reassuring aura.

"Considering that you may need to stay outside of City Fourteen for an extended period of time, this is an advance payment for you."

"Each of you will first receive thirty Heaven-Concealing Talismans. This should be enough to effectively conceal your tracks and prevent the Intelligent God from easily locking onto you for a considerable period of time." "If anyone performs beyond expectations in the matter of corrupting mythology, they will have the opportunity to receive more Heaven-Concealing Talismans, and even some unexpected benefits."

As soon as the words were spoken, a burning light, like that of hungry wolves eyeing a piece of fat meat, suddenly burst forth in the eyes of those titled reincarnators.

After learning the cruel truth that City Fourteen was utterly powerless to stop the intelligent God from spying, they realized even more deeply the preciousness of this Heaven-Covering Talisman.

This is no longer just a tool to help complete a task; in critical moments, it's practically a life-saving talisman!
If the intelligent God truly decides to settle scores with them, this shroud will be their only reliance.

"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

"We will do our utmost to complete the mission and will never let the Speaker down!"

Suddenly, voices of loyalty arose one after another, and the previous hesitation and unease had long been replaced by the desire for tangible benefits and survival.

The secret meeting that took place in the top-floor office of the City Council Building in City Fourteen was known to no one except Lu Yan and the eleven titled reincarnators.

The long-prepared coalition of fourteen cities began its grand march towards the vast areas outside the cities a week later, and the shadow of war quickly loomed over the entire cyberpunk version.

The great battle between City Fourteen and the global giant is about to break out. Almost everyone who is paying attention to this war believes that it will be a fierce and protracted contest between evenly matched forces.

One of the world's largest corporations possesses an almost godlike intelligent god who controls the entire world's information network, as well as a vast and virtually inexhaustible pool of resources and an army of psionic beings.

On the other hand, City Fourteen has gathered countless top experts, each of whom possesses terrifying strength capable of taking on ten thousand opponents, as well as various unbelievable and bizarre abilities.

In the eyes of ordinary people in the lower classes, it was difficult to accurately judge the true difference in strength between the two sides. All sorts of speculations and opinions about the course of the war sprang up like mushrooms after rain, spreading in every corner of the city.

As these various narratives about the war spread wider and became more bizarre, all sorts of unheard-of religious sects quietly began to emerge within the vast territories ruled by the global behemoth.

Some claim that this impending war will be a harbinger of the end times, ultimately leading to the complete destruction of the world.

Only by devoutly worshipping the Supreme Eternal Mother and entering that pure and free vacuum homeland can one escape the catastrophe of the end times and attain eternal peace.

Some even more extreme and imaginative believers began to proclaim that the Eternal Mother is the origin of all things in the universe and the mother of the so-called omniscient and omnipotent God.

It was the Eternal Mother who gave birth to God in the chaos that led to the great miracle of God creating the entire world!

In some relatively isolated cities, psionicists claim to be God's offspring who have been sent to earth and possess divine bloodlines. They have begun to secretly spread their own fabricated gospels and doctrines.

As a result, his remarks were so unorthodox that they angered the local fanatical believers who had long been brainwashed by the myth of God, and he was nailed to the cross by the angry mob.

However, to everyone's astonishment, three days later, this holy son miraculously came back to life and returned to the world.

Furthermore, this holy son publicly displayed a series of incredible miracles, which led those believers who had previously harbored doubts to completely venerate him as the incarnate holy son and worship him.

Some psychics with ulterior motives have begun to publicly claim that the God touted as the supreme deity by the authorities of major cities is actually a complete heretic and evil god.

His greatest skill is to bewitch people and weave lies. The so-called heaven is nothing more than a false illusion that He has carefully created to deceive souls.

Some even went so far as to claim that this evil god actually had four different incarnations, each representing a different aspect of His evil.

There is the Lord of Armies, symbolizing endless slaughter and destruction; there is the Creator of Plague, representing disease and decay; there is the hypocritical God, skilled in lies and deception; and there is the indulgent Heavenly Father, spreading desire and depravity.

Others have put forward a more ethereal, yet thought-provoking argument.

They believe that whether it is the so-called God, the all-powerful global corporation, or even the entire bizarre cyberpunk world itself, it is nothing more than a bizarre dream of a greater and more indescribable ancient deity in its endless slumber.

Beneath a ruined tower of souls, even more bizarre miracles occurred.

An ordinary pregnant woman gave birth to a baby boy with great difficulty next to the ruins.

The child, barely born, was able to stand on his own and took seven steps in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north. With each step, golden lotus flowers appeared out of thin air beneath his feet.

Finally, he stopped, pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the earth, and uttered a solemn chant as loud as a great bell: "Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!"

As titled reincarnators who have experienced countless cycles of reincarnation and witnessed all sorts of bizarre and wonderful sights, they might not be able to do a very good job of doing proper work and completing those complex and dangerous tasks.

But when it comes to causing trouble, sabotaging, spreading rumors, and creating chaos, it's practically an instinct and talent ingrained in the bones of these reincarnators!
They rely on their diverse and persuasive abilities, their methods of bribery and win-win, and their rich experience in secretly manipulating situations.

In just over half a month, all sorts of strange and unheard-of religions and sects sprang up like mushrooms after rain in various cities under the control of the global giant.

The White Lotus Sect, the Holy Son Sect, the Human Truth Empire, the Brahma Dream Sect, and the Future Buddha World Honored One Belief are just a few examples of the many sects that exist.

Initially, these scattered legends and beliefs, which circulated quietly among the lower classes and were not systematic, did not attract much attention from the top management of global giants.

After all, in their eyes, these were nothing more than meaningless superstitious acts of ignorant people in their doomsday panic, and were not worth worrying about at all.

But these diverse religious doctrines began to become increasingly outrageous and inflammatory.

Many religious doctrines have begun to directly target the core doctrines of the God myth, attempting to shake God's supreme status as the only true God in this world.
