The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"I don't know what that moon goddess priest was thinking, sending this guy as an envoy!"

For a moment, Gu Xu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

After finishing his rant, Gu Xu took the scroll and looked at its contents.

However, once he looked, Gu Xu was even happier.

The reason is simple: the letter was written in the language of the gods, with neat and tidy handwriting and extremely sophisticated wording.

The opening paragraph was full of polite phrases, such as "I have long admired the strength of the Chinese civilization" and "I deeply admire the bravery of your commander."

Gu Xu read the beginning three times with a slight smile, then skipped over the flattery and focused his attention on the key content of the letter.

According to the letter writer, their Emerald Leaf Faction is a faction within the Elven race, and the faction's elder, who is also the person who wrote the letter, is a Moon Priest in the Emerald Palace.

The letter's message was clear: the Greenleaf Elders believed that High Priest Elonis had dragged the entire Elven race into a war they could not win.

They have even gone so far as to begin deceiving the gods.

As a result, the Elven race paid a heavy price from Silver Fern Valley to Falling Cloud City.

The root of all this lies in the high priest's insane and irrational ambition; they are unwilling to be buried with a madman.

Therefore, they were willing to defect and cooperate with the Sheikh army in its advance.

In addition, the letter also mentioned that they had received a blessing from the Elf Queen, Milsophie.

High Priest Elonis has successfully broken through to become a so-called "Messenger of God," possessing strength roughly equivalent to a Source-level powerhouse among humans.

At the same time, his trusted priests also took advantage of this opportunity to collectively advance to the rank of high priest, which is equivalent to a demigod.

In order to fight to the death, Elonnis has retrieved the forbidden item from the Emerald Palace's treasury—the Branch of Death's Hatred from the Goddess of Nature.

Prepare this to slow down the Calamity Legion and buy time for the "gods" who might appear behind them to send reinforcements.

Gu Xu scanned the entire scroll from beginning to end, his expression a fascinating mix of emotions.

The contents of this letter cannot be said to be completely unrelated to the requirements of his advancement mission.

It can only be described as exactly the same.

It was because of this letter that the thread that had never been connected in Gu Xu's mind suddenly snapped shut.

He finally understood why the elves were the kin of the False God of Devouring Dimensions.

After all that fuss, the root of the problem is here.

He still clearly remembered that the direct cause of the collapse of the entire Northern Alliance was the sudden invasion of the Dragon Court.

The reason why the Dragon Royal Court was able to increase its combat power so rapidly in a short period of time, as if it had been injected with chicken blood, was, according to subsequent intelligence analysis, because the agent of the Devouring God Clan, Munedimi, gave them a so-called "blessing".

In other words, these false gods are not good at anything like head-on confrontation.

Instead, they engage in pyramid schemes and recruit new members.

Their tactics are remarkably consistent: find races with potential or ambition in the universe, promise them power, and help them "force growth" to rapidly increase their strength.

Then, they drive these cannon fodder, blinded by power, to charge into battle for them and gnaw on the toughest bones.

Whether it was the Dragon King's Court back then or the Elven race now, they are all victims of this pyramid scheme, or rather, fish that willingly took the bait.

Having figured this out, Gu Xu gained a new understanding of these guys who called themselves the "Dimensional Devouring Gods".

Those bastards are really bad.

He weighed the scroll in his hand, then his gaze returned to the elven officer named Elwin.

At this moment, Alvin was as nervous as a quail, not daring to breathe.

Looking at the ever-changing expression on Gu Xu's face, he felt extremely uneasy, fearing that if this master became displeased, he would throw him and the letter away.

Gu Xu casually rolled up the scroll, tapped it lightly with his fingers, making a "bang bang" sound: "Messenger of the gods? That title sounds pretty impressive."

Upon hearing this, Li Tiezhu, who was standing nearby, immediately retorted in a gruff voice, "What does it matter what it's for? On the battlefield, the corps commander will just crush them in an instant!"

"These guys can't even beat those Starsea pirates, they're definitely weaklings with no real strength!"

"If you ask me, don't waste time talking to them, just push through and that's it!"

Su Qiong took a drag of her cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "We can't be careless. With one Origin-level expert and several demigods, the Jade Palace's top combat strength is stronger than we anticipated."

"If we launch a full-scale attack, the casualties will be considerable."

The fact that the two were discussing strategic goals face to face terrified Alvin so much that he almost suffocated.

He seriously doubted whether he would make it back alive today.

"Okay, let's talk about that later."

Gu Xu waved his hand, interrupting their conversation, and then looked at Alvin: "I've read the letter and understand its contents. I'll consider it an acceptance of your sincerity."

Hearing this, Erwin finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his back completely soaked.

"So...so you mean...?"

"My meaning is very simple."

Gu Xu tossed the scroll back to him: "Take it back and tell that you so-called Moon Goddess Priest that I've approved his proposal."

"You want to be collaborators? Fine, I'll give you that chance."

"From this moment on, you Emerald Leaf Faction are my eyes and ears in the Emerald Palace."

"I need to know everything about Elonnis, from how many bowls of rice he eats each day to how many times he goes to the toilet, to what kind of mischief his newly appointed high priests are plotting today."

"In addition, you also need to draw a complete defense map of the Emerald Palace, down to the location of every single brick and every magical trap."

"Is it possible?"

Alvin was horrified. This was hardly a collaboration.

This is clearly a scheme to sell off the entire Jade Palace.

"Yes...it's possible!"

Alvin dared not say no and nodded vigorously.

"very good."

Gu Xu straightened up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Go back and tell your elders that after this is done, I guarantee that the people of your Emerald Leaf Sect will live. I'll even leave you a place to live!"

"But what if...you dare to play any tricks..."

"Smack."

With a soft sound, a boulder not far behind Elwin silently turned into a handful of dust.

It was blown away by the wind and scattered.

Upon seeing this, Alvin's pupils suddenly contracted, and his scalp tingled.

He didn't even sense any magical fluctuations...

The stone is gone?
