Life Dungeon Game

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You came here today deliberately to use yourself as 'bait' to lure me out?"

I'm not feeling well, but I'll wrap this up in the next few days.

Chapter 832 Yiluo, is your plan really going smoothly?

"Why do you think so?"

The boy asked in a low voice.

“You know we’ve detected someone entering the Eternal Kingdom. Now that the illusory kingdom has been exposed, its real-world anchor point may also be exposed,”

Koven spoke calmly, looking at He Ao, “You have shown great power in the Divine Kingdom. In order to deal with such a powerful enemy as you, we will inevitably send the most stringent blockade. However, large-scale personnel mobilization will expose the Divine Kingdom’s anchor point in reality.”

"To prevent your aim from alerting the enemy, we will only send the city's most elite combat forces first."

You guessed that.

"So you came here to 'lure' the most elite combat force."

"Actually, I initially suspected that it was 'Ilo' who entered the divine kingdom, but I didn't expect it to really be you. You only brought this little girl with you, so you must have absolute confidence in 'dealing with' me?"

At this point, he raised his eyebrows slightly. "Or is it that your initial target was not me, but the 'Patriarch'?"

"You're thinking too much."

The boy didn't answer his question, but instead smiled noncommittally, "But what if I hadn't guessed that the boundary between the Eternal Kingdom and the real world is here?"

Cowen's expression suddenly froze; clearly, he hadn't considered this question.

He then coughed lightly and continued,

"You're so smart, how could you not guess?"

Then, he composed himself and forced a smile. "Besides, if you hadn't come here, you wouldn't have been able to see me, or even hold me back, would you?"

Then he didn't continue on that topic, but changed the subject and asked,

"However, I'm actually a little curious. Although we all think you were able to find this place, how did you guess that the Eternal Divine Kingdom and the real world intersected, and how did you find this place so accurately? Was it just based on your brief 'observations' inside the Divine Kingdom?"

"Those 'experiences' are enough, aren't they?"

The boy spoke slowly.

"The inner church of the Eternal Secret Cult is clearly your 'experiment' for creating a divine kingdom on earth. Its shortcomings are obvious. Although people can physically enter it, it requires a constant supply of highly spiritual souls as 'sacrifices' to maintain the space's existence."

"And the resentment of these highly spiritual souls can become one of the destabilizing factors in the space."

"Consuming a large number of highly spiritual souls only yields a small physical space, which is far from your plan to build a 'divine kingdom'."

"So you changed your approach, absorbing only souls to create a pure 'spiritual space,' but similarly, this spiritual space also needs 'energy' to maintain it."

"Of course, you can also choose to directly sacrifice the souls in the divine kingdom, which is more efficient in terms of energy utilization. However, you will also have to bear the risk of the divine kingdom being polluted by the resentment of those souls after they are sacrificed. I initially thought you would adopt this method."

"Until I entered the eternal kingdom,"

The boy spoke calmly.

"After my visit to the divine realm, I realized that you may have chosen a 'more efficient' method."

"The souls in God's Kingdom need to 'work,' and that certainly cannot be because of some kind of 'perverse taste' of yours."

Instead, it is through these "works" that the Kingdom of God obtains some kind of "benefit".

"Therefore, I suspect that what you now call the 'earthly divine kingdom' is actually a distorted 'life form,' with most of its body hidden in the void and only a part in contact with reality."

"It can 'maintain' its existence through certain things in reality, and to acquire these things, it needs to 'work'."

"Putting myself in their shoes, if I were designing the 'Earthly Divine Kingdom,' I would definitely make the 'things' that the Earthly Divine Kingdom needs to acquire as common and ubiquitous as possible. This would maximize the 'error tolerance' of the 'Earthly Divine Kingdom.'"

"In a mystical sense, this thing is most likely 'blood food'."

"To sustain the 'blood sustenance' of a vast divine kingdom, there cannot be too little."

"Then I checked the information I obtained, but I didn't find any information about you transporting 'blood food'. Instead, I found information about you transporting a large amount of 'food', and all of the 'food' was sent to the Novite District."

"The 'food' supply in the Novite District naturally does not require the Eternal Secret Cult to open up a special route."

“It seems that your ‘earthly divine kingdom’ is doing very well. It only needs some sacrifices and basic ‘food’ to sustain its existence.”

“And this also corresponds to the ‘work’ in God’s Kingdom,”

The boy turned his head and glanced at the 'blood-red figure' still working inside the door. "You drive the souls in the divine kingdom to 'work,' and then use the income you earn to 'buy' food to maintain the existence of the divine kingdom, while also maintaining the consumption you arbitrarily 'withdraw' within the divine kingdom."

"Once we figured that out, the rest was simple: just find the places where the grain was being brought in and then find the corresponding regions."

The boy turned his head and glanced around the workshop.

"This area has always existed in the Novit District, but the surrounding area has probably been covered by the domain of the 'Eternal God Kingdom,' which can naturally drive away ordinary people. Normal people are not even aware that there is such an area in the Novit District, and even superhumans cannot find it if they do not pay close attention."

"So you created a 'hidden place' in the heart of the bustling city, a perfect example of 'blind spots under the lamp,' isn't it?"

This field is not unique; the paper butterfly that Alice transformed into also possesses similar abilities.

Alice's abilities come from the broken inner church.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Eternal Kingdom possesses such capabilities.

Therefore, He Ao could easily associate it with the domain, and then with the 'hidden paradise' of the Novette District.

"So to say,"

Lena, standing to the side, subconsciously glanced at the figures working in the workshop. "In a sense, this Eternal Kingdom is a large 'company'?"

"A 'company' where you can't leave, can never stop working until your soul dissipates, has no possibility of resistance, and has no future?"

"And the souls trapped inside are employees of this 'company'?"

“Strictly speaking, we are not a company, but a new ‘order’.”

Cowen, standing opposite, shrugged.

"When the Kingdom of God descends, this world will ultimately be bathed in eternal light."

When the 'new order' under its light takes over, you will not be surprised by these things.

"That will be a glorious era, a 'new world' that ends everything will descend, and everyone will live in an orderly manner in the eternal divine kingdom, without hunger or ice."

"Is there only work that can never be finished?"

Lena picked up on his words and scoffed, "Your 'new world' is about killing everyone and then handing over everyone's souls to your evil god who accepts blood sacrifices?"

"The great, eternal light is always benevolent,"

Cowen chuckled softly, “He will forgive your offense. If possible, I would like to personally escort you to the eternal kingdom of God so that you may see that immortal new world.”

He certainly didn't want Lena to enter the Eternal Kingdom 'alive'.

"If you don't like Aunt Lena, why send her to the wonderful new world you speak of? Are you such a noble person?"

The boy's voice was calm, "Or do you actually know that it's not heaven, but hell?"

Ke Wen's expression froze.

Lena, who was standing to the side, first twitched her eyebrows when she heard "Auntie," but after hearing what followed, she smiled faintly. She turned to look at Cowen and, seeing his stiff expression, her smile grew even wider.

After a brief pause, Cowen smiled slightly and said softly, "Your small and insignificant lives cannot comprehend the great cause we are undertaking."

"Is the great cause you speak of built upon the lives of innocent people?"

The boy's voice remained calm, but his tone was noticeably slower.

"Necessary sacrifices are inevitable for the glory of all mankind."

Cowen lowered his head, smiling as he looked at the boy.

“Ilo, I know what you’re talking about. We’ve always known about your parents’ situation, including Bright and his heretics’ plot to turn your parents into monsters of truth so they could find the Eternal Kingdom. We’ve always known about that too.”

"Thanks to your parents, we were able to lure those heretics out step by step, and even lured Bright over. Of course, I also want to thank you for killing Bright, which eliminated a major threat to us."

"The decision to use your parents was made by the Hereditary and me together, and judging from the current outcome, our choice was not wrong."

"Is it,"

The boy paused for a moment, "Actually, you don't need to thank me for dealing with Bright. I'm just a slow worker and prefer to do things one at a time."

Do you still think you have the victory in your grasp?

Upon hearing his words, Cowen laughed instead.

"Let's put aside whether you can defeat me, just look at your current situation,"

He slightly raised his hand, his smile growing even wider.

"Use the FBI investigation team to stall Chief Lutz, use the heretics to stall the new bishop, and then you come here yourself to lure me out."

"King against king, general against general."

"In this way, all three B-level officers in the city will be tied down. Then your men can raid the unsuspecting mayor's mansion, rescue the mayor, and in turn influence the city defense forces loyal to the mayor to open the city gates, allowing you to successfully request reinforcements and trigger the Federation's intervention."

"To use their power against the church."

clap clap-

He clapped his hands gently.

"A very good plan, although somewhat risky, it has a high success rate when launched into a surprise attack."

"And the fact that you are so patient in answering my questions and communicating with me so much is actually a way to buy time. Once you successfully rescue the mayor and contact the federal central government, the scales of victory will tip, and you will have the opportunity to turn the tide of the entire game."

"but,"

He leaned down slightly, trying to see the boy's face beneath his hood.

"My lovely little Elo, what if someone isn't in your planned place?"

"The significance of a surprise attack lies in the 'surprise' aspect. If the 'surprise' is seen through, then it becomes 'dangerous'."

He paused slightly, his voice low, "Is your plan really going smoothly?"
