Of course, it is not ruled out that there really are such good people in the church.

"I've said it before. I'm here only because I'm interested in the people behind the scenes who are driving the development of the secret realm." Rhine said straight to the point.

"As expected of Lord Wiseman, have you discovered the anomaly in the secret realm?"

"Stop flattering me. If you, as a world-leading force, can't you spot this, wouldn't you have been swallowed up by other forces long ago?" Rhine even suspected that the other party was trying to flatter him to death.

"Just as Lord Wiseman said, I believe everyone has already realized that there is a mastermind behind the development of this incident, right?"

"In order to prevent each of us from being defeated individually, the content of this meeting is to establish an offensive and defensive alliance. The forces joining the alliance must at least ensure that they advance and retreat together, and must unconditionally assist other members when they are attacked."

“That sounds good, but what if the Fountain of Life appears in the world? Will it also be the same if we advance and retreat together?” A powerful man who is half a step into the divine realm questioned.

"That's not necessary. Advancing and retreating together refers to situations where we face external threats, while the competition for the Fountain of Life is a competition within the alliance."

"You are all world-leading forces, so it is very difficult to ask you to obey other people's orders. But in order to prevent everyone from fighting on their own when encountering emergencies, we still have to choose someone who can coordinate the overall situation."

"As for the person who can take on this important task, I think there is no one more suitable than President Wiseman. Of course, if you think you can also take on this important task and have everyone's recognition, you can recommend yourself, like me."

"Wait a minute, I heard you say that you want me to be the leader?" Rhine was a little confused.

He is here to be the insider!

How does one say that? If you don't close the net, you will become the boss, but he becomes the leader right away?

"That's right. If it weren't for Master Wiseman, I believe I would be able to take on this important task. But now that Master Wiseman has joined, I think my ability is still a little lacking compared to the president."

"The most important thing is that no one present here can match your achievements. If they were allowed to be the leader, I'm sure the people from other world-leading forces would be dissatisfied. But it's different, I believe everyone will be convinced if you take on the position of leader."

The church's Half-Step God Realm expert was not only speaking to Rhine, but also to everyone else.

Although I don’t know if this is just flattery from the church, what he said does seem to make sense.

In terms of strength, Rhine defeated two Half-Step Gods with one strike, and they were Half-Step Gods from the Silver Moon Elves.

In terms of achievements, Rhine founded the Magic Unification Association, a world-leading force, and laid the foundation for the current witch system. He is considered the ancestor of all witches.

"No, no, no, thank you for the compliment. I just came to take a look." Rhine declined.

Being elected as the leader was completely unexpected for him, because he expected that the church would take the position of leader in the end.

But now the church wants to "give" him the position of leader, which caught him off guard.

“Mr. President is still too modest. How about this, those who agree that Lord Weiseman can take the position of alliance leader please raise your hands to vote.” After saying this, he raised his hand first, followed by the other three half-step gods in the church.

Just like Rhine, everyone thought that the church would take the position of leader in the end, but unexpectedly, the church gave it away itself.

Is there any hidden secret here? Everyone had to think about it.

But since the church itself has no objection, what else can they say?

As a result, more and more people raised their hands, and there was no need to count to know that the number of people in favor had exceeded two-thirds.

In this way, Rhine, the traitor, dramatically became the leader of the alliance.

“So, Lord Alliance Leader, what do you think about the mysterious force hidden behind the secret realm?” asked the Half-Step God Realm of the church.

"Ah this..."

If he hadn't known that there was no chance that the news would leak out from his side, he would have thought that the church already knew that he was behind it, and he would have asked such a explosive question right away.

"Then I will briefly analyze it."

"First of all, this force is most likely a world-leading force. I don't think an organization that hasn't even reached the world-leading level would have the guts to do this."

"Secondly, a force as huge as the world's hegemony cannot possibly leave no traces when it is active. So I would like to ask you, how much information do you know about the power behind the scenes so far?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and no one responded.

It’s not that I don’t want to answer it, but I don’t know how to answer it.

There are only a dozen or so world-leading forces on the mainland, and everyone is an old acquaintance. It can be said that each force has spies from a dozen other forces. Therefore, as long as there is any movement, basically everyone knows about it.

But this time it was different, they found that it didn’t seem like they were the ones behind it?

Because none of the existing world dominant forces are abnormal. Just as Rhine said, it is impossible for such a large organization and such a large activity to have no clues at all.

"President, you're joking. When it comes to understanding the forces behind the scenes, shouldn't you know more than us?" The smiling tiger of the church finally showed his fangs.

"What do you mean?" Rhine frowned. Was he doubting him?

No wonder he was recommended to be the leader of the alliance. This guy had bad intentions from the beginning.

"It's nothing, it's just that the church's intelligence department learned through some special channels that the organization that deliberately spread the secret information, that is, "throwing bait", seems to be a group called Bloody Rose." Smiling Tiger slowly explained to everyone,

"The head of this organization mysteriously disappeared a few days ago. The current head is a woman named Shahua."

"From what I know, the Lord Alliance Leader seems to have an unusual relationship with this woman. The reason why the Lord President fought against the Half-Step God Realm expert of the Silver Moon Elves was probably because of her. As the saying goes, one will risk one's life for the sake of a beauty. What a heroic spirit!"

"Oh, yes, there is one more thing. I remember that a few days ago, Miss Sahua's love story of threatening to die for a man caused a sensation in the lawless land. Lord Fox, no, Lord Alliance Leader, there is no way he doesn't know about it, right?"

With the intentional guidance of the church, one piece of information after another was sent to the hands of the major world hegemonic forces, including all the details of what happened after Rhine appeared in the lawless land, as well as the actions of Bloody Rose in recent days, Shahua's actions, and so on.

One coincidence is a coincidence, two coincidences may be accidental, but when multiple coincidences are superimposed on each other, it becomes inevitable. So when there are too many coincidences around you, you must be vigilant to see if someone is trying to get you.

The first president of the Magical Unification Association first appeared in the Kingdom of Solcie, which was nothing. Coincidentally, not long after the first president disappeared, "Master Fox" appeared in the lawless land just across the sea, and then staged all kinds of farces in the lawless land.

This was nothing, but after the secret realm was opened, "Master Fox" mysteriously disappeared. With what he did in the lawless land, it was impossible for him to be indifferent to the secret realm, but the church people searched the entire secret realm but could not find Fox. Instead, the first president who disappeared in the Kingdom of Solcie returned to the public's attention.

This would not be a big deal, but the fact that the first president's first show of anger for his beloved was for the woman named Shahua from Bloody Rose is a bit intriguing.

Of course, the church does not have decisive evidence, but it does have some other clues.

For example, after Rhine risked his life for his beloved, the two were seen kissing on the sea by onlookers. Combined with Shahua's various behaviors in R'lyeh and the large amount of life fluid of unknown origin on her body, the church can basically be sure that "Lord Fox" is the first president, the one who was fishing behind the scenes.

When Rhine heard the name Bloody Rose, he was struck by lightning. Was he exposed?

When he heard the name Fox, he knew he had been exposed.

The church is indeed the world's most powerful hegemonic force. Its advantages are not only reflected in its combat power and influence, but also in its intelligence network, which crushes other world hegemonic forces.

Following the explanation of the smiling tiger of the church, everyone present showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Although some of them had guessed the identity of Rhine, they dared not make such a guess without evidence.

It seems that the church already knew Rhine's identity, but still recommended him as the leader. Why? To humiliate you and kill you! Telling you in front of everyone that your conspiracy is totally worthless and full of loopholes, and even teaching you which part should be done better, this is no longer an exposure, but a naked humiliation.

Anyone who knew about the incident 6000 years ago would immediately think that this was revenge from the church. After all, that incident made the church a laughing stock in the world, and now they wanted to make Rhine a laughing stock.

"Although the alliance leader's strategy is a little immature, we still have to thank him. After all, without him, we might have missed this secret realm."

"Before setting off, we checked the relevant documents. This secret realm belonged to the royal family of the High Elves Era. The documents record that there is indeed a fountain of life in this secret realm."

"So there's no need to be angry, Lord Alliance Leader didn't lie to us. I just don't know why Lord Alliance Leader used such a crude fishing technique to attract us here?" Big Brother Yangguang still had a warm smile on his face, but the curve at the corner of his mouth revealed his happy mood at the moment.

Just as Rhine was about to speak, someone beat him to it.

"Hey, you little brat over there! Where is your mother? Didn't your family teach you to respect the elderly and love the young?" A rough voice spread throughout the venue, shocking everyone present.

"Don't you know whether this is fishing or not? You know it's fishing, but you still come here. Are you cheap? And what did that old man lie to you about? The news he spread was that there is a fountain of life here."

"Besides, you said yourself that there is a fountain of life here, which means he didn't lie to you. If he didn't tell you, would you know? Instead of thanking him for sharing the news with you, you mocked him. Not only are you a mean person, but you also have a mean mouth. I even doubt whether you have a mother."

"Oh, now I remember. It seems that all the people in the church are selected from orphanages. You really don't have a mother, so it's really not your fault."

There is no solution for the ultimate kill.

The atmosphere at the scene became weird, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, wanting to see who was so powerful.

When they saw the owner of the voice, they were immediately relieved.

It turns out that he is the God of War of the Demon Pass. Relying on the fact that his life is almost over, this old guy is truly fearless and is willing to fight against everything.

"What's going on? Did you arrange this old man? Why is it different from the plan?"

"No, I didn't arrange this session. I can only ask you to expose yourself deliberately." Ivan was also very depressed.

He had already anticipated that Rhine's identity would be exposed. It could be said that this was part of the plan. However, this tough old man was not arranged by him. Why does someone always add drama to himself?

But to be honest, this old man is good to deal with, and he really helps when there is something going on.

(Can you give me a recommendation vote? I want votes~)

Chapter 240: Plans are not as fast as changes, war begins!

In Ivan's plan, Rhine's identity was bound to be exposed.

After all, even a young boy like him could find the loopholes in the fishing plan, let alone those old scoundrels from the world's dominant forces.

So Ivan simply took advantage of the situation and included the exposure of his identity in his plan.

If it weren't for the martial god in the Demon God Level, the next development would be that Rhine took the opportunity to reveal his purpose of fishing, letting everyone know that he gathered everyone together in order to save the ancient dragon Lushela who was sealed in the secret realm.

It is normal that many emerging world hegemonic forces do not know about what happened more than 6000 years ago, but they definitely know about the "ancient dragon's destruction of the world" event more than 400 years ago.

After learning of Lai Rhine's purpose, people might wonder, isn't it just to save a legendary ancient dragon? Is it necessary to mobilize (lure) all the world's dominant forces in the entire continent?

Then Rhine said that some changes had occurred in the formation that sealed Lucela, basically, the formation that sealed Lucela and the formation that sealed the Fountain of Life partially overlapped, so in order to unlock the seal of Lucela, the seal of the Fountain of Life must be unlocked.

The reason why the world's dominant forces from all over the continent were summoned here was because a divine beast was also sealed in the formation that sealed the Fountain of Life. After the seal of the Fountain of Life was released, the divine beast would also run out.

Because he had just reincarnated and his strength had not yet recovered to his previous level, he had no choice but to use this method to "summon" helpers. After all, it was impossible to gather so many world-dominant forces through normal means.

Although he did treat them as thugs, he did not lie, because there really was a fountain of life in the secret realm, and it was guarded by a beast from the divine realm.

If they want the Fountain of Life, they must defeat the Beast from the Divine Realm, and if he wants to save Lucela, he also needs to defeat the Beast from the Divine Realm. The interests of both parties are the same, so it cannot be simply said to be exploitation, but a bilateral partnership.

In this way, after learning the truth of the matter, although everyone will be a little angry, they will feel more relieved.

The reason for being angry is that if one faces the beast from the divine realm without preparation, no matter how many people come, they will all be food for the taking, especially the first group of people who will probably die in a rash contact with the beast from the divine realm.

To put it nicely, Rhine asked them to help; to put it bluntly, Rhine asked them to be cannon fodder.

We feel at ease because “fear comes from the unknown”. Before knowing the full picture of the incident, no one knows what will happen next, and no one knows what they will face next.

But when Rhine opened up, even though the Beast from the Divine Realm was still a big problem, with the world's dominant forces from all over the continent gathered on the scene, it was not impossible to get rid of the Beast from the Divine Realm if they were well prepared.

In this regard, Rhine was right to "summon" the world's dominant forces from all over the continent.

After making things clear at last, the natural thing to do was to discuss how to deal with the beast from the divine realm.

In addition, in order to avoid a world war caused by the competition for the Fountain of Life, the division of interests needs to be determined in advance.

That is, in the process of dealing with the beasts in the divine realm, whoever contributes the most will get the biggest share, while those who slack off will not even think about getting a share.

This method is relatively fair. How much Fountain of Life you can obtain depends entirely on your own ability. In this way, no one will hold back in order to obtain more Fountain of Life.

As for whether everyone would agree with his proposal...

Yes, definitely, and I will strongly support it.

First, this plan can indeed avoid the internal friction of mankind. After all, the people who come here are the pillars of their respective forces, and the death of one or two will be extremely painful. If a world hegemonic force really gets angry, it may really cause a world war.

Second, this plan is in the interests of most of the world's hegemonic powers. Under normal circumstances, they would never be able to compete with the top few world hegemonic powers, let alone share some meat, and they might not even get to drink soup.

However, Rhine's plan was that as long as they contributed, they could get a share of the profits. How could they not support it?

As for whether the Church, the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty, the Demi-Human Empire... and other upper world overlords will support it, it doesn’t matter, because under the influence of the general trend, no one will jump out and say that I disagree.

Especially the first person who opposes will definitely offend most of the world's dominant forces. Even a powerful organization like the Church would not be so brainless as to do such a thing that would not only lose popularity but also offend a bunch of world's dominant forces.

The world overlords of non-human forces, such as the Demi-Human Empire and the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty, dared not jump out to oppose.

The church would lose popularity if they did this, and it would be a disaster for them if they did this. So they had to support it even if they didn’t want to, otherwise it would destroy the unity of mankind.

Another question is whether someone will cheat and violate the rules. That is impossible, even the church would not dare to do so.

Therefore, according to Ivan's original plan, not only can the world's dominant forces be willing to be thugs, but he can also get himself out of trouble. It can basically guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

But the explosive words from the God of War Baal made the atmosphere at the scene extremely weird.

All attention was focused on the church to see how they would respond.

They were being pointed at and called orphans. If the church didn't take any action, how could they gain a foothold in the Penician continent? How could they maintain their dignity as the dominant force in the world?

Sure enough, the amiable and warm smile on Brother Sunshine's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy and vicious look.

The other three Half-Step Gods also had ashen faces. If they had simply scolded that person for having no mother, they would not have reacted at all. They might even have gloated over his misfortune. After all, the church was not a monolithic entity.

But if you criticize the church members as orphans from orphanages who have no mother, then the nature of the criticism is different. Even if they have internal conflicts, they must maintain the face of the church. Otherwise, isn't that telling others that the church is easy to bully?

“What? Do you think I’m afraid of you just because you come in large numbers?” Looking at the four Half-Step God Realm warriors standing side by side, the Martial God Bal was not afraid at all.

"I am a lonely man. Others may be afraid of your church, but I am not. Anyway, there is a high probability that I will not live to see the arrival of the new world. It is not a loss to exchange one or two half-step gods of the church in the last moments of my life."
