670: Chapter 670 Conspiracy

"Sell it? Are you insane?!" Old Qin bristled.

"I believe if a large number of Cultivators appear within Huaguo, then those hidden cultists won't be able to do as they please within Huaguo," Oriental Chen stated his reasoning.

Currently, the Moni Sect cultists can successfully control Huaguo's underground bases due to two key factors:

Firstly: Silicon-based microorganisms interfering with the Mercenary Guild's signal towers.

Secondly: Huaguo's Cultivators consistently remaining hidden, with no one willing to be the first to step out.

It truly was a case of when the tiger is away, the monkeys play.

"Have you not considered that Cultivators' genes also have problems, and they are also potential Moni People? Once they are also controlled by the Sirius Remnants, the consequences will be unimaginable," Old Qin reminded him.

"I have already investigated this matter thoroughly. I believe the Sirius Remnants' ultimate trump card is to reanimate all human Mutants and Cultivators. The destructive power caused by high-order Mutants or Cultivators would be immense."

"Then why are you still doing this?" Old Qin didn't understand.

"Old Qin, let me ask you, would you take meat out of the pot and eat it before it's fully cooked?" Oriental Chen asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Why aren't the Sirius Remnants making a move now? It's because the time isn't right. Low-order Mutants have limited strength after reanimation and won't cause devastating damage to human society."

"By the same logic, even if I release the medicine that activates Cultivators, the Sirius Remnants still won't make a move. They need to wait, wait for this pot of meat to be thoroughly cooked."

"And that time is exactly what I need," Oriental Chen said.

"Wouldn't it be better if we proceeded steadily now?" Old Qin asked.

"Old Qin, if sheep have no natural predators, they will devour the entire grassland. If wolves have enough sheep to eat, they will breed a vast population. You should understand this principle. What I'm doing is precisely creating resistance for them," Oriental Chen explained.

"That's true. However, doing so will inevitably lead to widespread conflict, and who knows how many people will die because of it," Old Qin said.

"In the face of an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. This is everyone's business; who can stand by and do nothing?" Oriental Chen had said this before.

"Exactly. In the face of survival, everyone must raise the blade in their hand." Old Qin also made up his mind.

"Alright. Since you approve, I need you to cooperate with me in a play."

"Okay, you arrange it!"

...

Three days later, on May 1st, 2057.

In the Kyoto Underground Base, Baili Ji held the document in his hand, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

The ashtray was already overflowing with cigarette butts.

"Send it out!"

"Yes!"

Three hours later, this announcement was circulated to various underground bases that had not yet been blocked, causing a huge sensation.

"What's going on? Am I blind?"

"Quick, slap me, I need to see if I'm still dreaming?"

"This is insane! Is this still the world I know?"

In every corner of the bases, everyone was discussing one topic:

Cultivators actually exist in this world!

"I don't understand, since Cultivators exist in this world, where are they? For the past few years, viruses have been rampant, and everyone is struggling to survive, so why haven't they made a move?" a man said indignantly.

"Didn't you read the book? The more powerful Cultivators are, the more they treat human lives as dirt. You should be grateful they aren't riding on your neck oppressing you!"

...

People in the streets debated endlessly, each with their own views.

It turned out that Baili Ji had issued a "Call for Talents."

Recruiting Cultivators throughout Huaguo.

The benefits offered were quite generous:

9th Order Tribulation Cultivators: 10 million crystalss per month;

8th Order Grand Perfection Cultivators: 5 million crystalss per month;

7th Order Void Glimpse Cultivators: 1 million crystalss per month;

Other mid- and low-order Cultivators' benefits would decrease accordingly.

Baili Ji knew that this announcement was like stirring a hornet's nest. Whether it would attract people was secondary; it was bringing Cultivators, who had rarely been seen for nearly two millennia, into the open.

Oriental Chen had employed an overt strategy.

He needed time to cultivate some high-order Cultivators, and during this period, he needed to stir up discussion.

Another aspect was to create a tense atmosphere, making those cultists know to restrain themselves.

This was subtly telling everyone that Huaguo had Cultivators, and even top-tier Cultivators. Those who weren't afraid of death could jump out; the higher they jumped, the faster they would die.

Originally, high-order Moni Sect Mutants like Sun Zhuo generally knew that Huaguo had deep foundations. So, they had always been very low-key. Now that Huaguo had released this information, it was equivalent to directly admitting that Huaguo had experts.

After seeing such news, besides burying their heads in their pants, would they dare to make any other moves?

Therefore, after the announcement was made, three weaker underground bases immediately lifted their closures and returned to the embrace of the council.
