29: The plan begins

After reading the plan, Xiang Yan nodded with satisfaction. It perfectly aligned with his philosophy of "truth, goodness, and beauty," as well as his objective of "letting nature take its course" while integrating into civilization.

The corners of his mouth curled into an arc. This met his requirements perfectly; as expected, products were always better when custom-made.

"Good! Execute it according to this plan!" he declared with finality, his tone filled with pleasure.

Jonnison took his orders and left, hurrying back to the Western Hemisphere church to pass down the Lord's command. Incidentally, he couldn't wait to go and admire his good son's pole dancing.

A month later, the Believers of the Nightmare Immortal Cult were packed and ready to go, prepared to return to the Eastern Hemisphere and begin their "savior" performance.

Seeing that his Believers were ready, Xiang Yan also prepared to coordinate his actions with theirs.

But before the Believers departed, Xiang Yan still had two chess pieces to move—the President and the Night Goddess.

He decided to get these two fellows over to the Western Hemisphere first. After all, everyone except Nelson had to be tossed into the trash heap; there was no reason these two should be spared.

He tapped lightly at the Void Realm, and an invisible mental wave instantly reached the depths of the President's mind. The President, who was currently discussing the next steps with a Confidant, suddenly had a thought pop into his head: 'I need to consolidate my persona. What if the will of the stars sees that I'm just acting and takes back my power? No, I must lead the army, charge into the Western Hemisphere battlefield, and quell the chaos at all costs to restore peace.'

Once this thought emerged, it was like a runaway horse that couldn't be stopped. Then, the President suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Silence!"

"The urgent priority is to consolidate my persona. My power comes from the recognition of the will of the stars. If It discovers I'm not that kind of person, the consequences will be severe! Therefore, we must immediately enter the Western Hemisphere battlefield and quell the chaos with the utmost speed!"

A frowning Confidant said, "Your Excellency, the people have just suffered; it is not appropriate to start a war."

The President looked at him with a sharp gaze while simultaneously releasing his Divine Might. "Oh? Then when do you suggest? Shall we wait until they cross the border, take the initiative to strike the Eastern Hemisphere, and then we counterattack?"

"By that time, do you think we will still have the ability to counterattack?"

"Or have you already betrayed us and defected to those fellows in the Western Hemisphere?!"

Hearing the President's series of interrogations, especially the last sentence, the Confidant was instantly drenched in cold sweat, hurriedly explaining and begging the President for mercy.

Seeing that no one else dared to speak up, the President nodded with satisfaction and then added another explanation.

"Everyone, I have not failed to consider what you are worried about. Currently, the hearts of the Eastern Hemisphere are united. But when those gods come over, do you think the deep-rooted faith of those religions—which have existed for at least thousands of years—will prevail, or will the authority of the government?"

...After dealing with the President, Xiang Yan turned his gaze toward the Night Goddess... After Xiang Yan turned his gaze toward the Night Goddess, he was just about to throw her to the Western Hemisphere like the President, only to discover that this woman was actually secretly plotting something again.

Driven by curiosity, Xiang Yan peered into her memories and couldn't help but marvel that she was truly a talent, so damn persevering.

This indomitable spirit was worth him giving her a thumbs up!

This time, her plan was actually quite simple. It was roughly that she believed she hadn't managed to control the President last time because that guy ate delicacies and abalone every day, giving him high immunity.

So she planned to stop looking for successful people and instead look for losers. By casting a wide net and focusing on the catch, she would fool a top-tier simp. Then, by using a bit of her Divine Power to establish a grassroots organization and continuously expanding its influence, she would push her simp into a high position, replicating the President's operation.

As long as she succeeded, she would turn it into a streamlined operation. Finally, she would lead her army of simps to counter-encircle them. It would be a guaranteed win!

As long as I, the Night Goddess, am willing to risk everything, how can I not pull those gods down from their high horses?!

"This is a bit interesting, this plan..." Xiang Yan thought with great interest after peeking, rubbing his chin. No, with such a fun thing going on, if I don't mess with her state of mind and just throw her into the Western Hemisphere, wouldn't that be a huge waste!

Acting as soon as the thought occurred, Xiang Yan quietly implanted some other suggestions into her mind, then shifted his gaze and went to arrange things for his own Believers.

On the other side, under Xiang Yan's mental suggestion, the President began a frantic mass conscription as if possessed. He completely ignored the welfare of the citizens; countless families were torn apart, and those already broken families became even more shattered.

Immediately afterward, under the guise of restoring peace and quelling chaos, he recklessly led the army and plunged headlong into the Western Hemisphere battlefield, like a moth to a flame.

As for the Night Goddess, with her wide net cast, a large number of simps competed with each other, and finally, a top-tier simp among top-tier simps appeared—a man named Carter.

Xiang Yan even curiously went to look at this person named Carter and was then shocked. It made him start to wonder: if he had the Night Goddess's methods of fooling simps, would he even need to be this complicated?

It took him several days of silence for his Dao Heart to recover before he refocused on external matters.

The Night Goddess hadn't been idle during those days of Xiang Yan's silence. She began to form her own organization called the "Mutual Aid Society," found a way to stimulate her simp's fighting spirit, and successfully inserted him into the organization.

The flames of war in the Western Hemisphere burned brighter and brighter. The President led the Eastern Hemisphere's army in like a tide, bringing a new impact to the situation. Coupled with Xiang Yan's slight suggestions, everyone's attention was occupied, leaving no time to worry about the Eastern Hemisphere.

Xiang Yan also felt it was time to help his Believers; after all, they had urged him several times. As for why he only helped now, it was purely because he had been too engrossed in watching the 'Simp Training Chronicles' recently.

Xiang Yan gave a light wave of his hand, and invisible ripples spread out.

The sense of crisis the False Gods felt due to the nightmare immortal's submission to the War God suddenly became much more intense.

A thought emerged: this nightmare immortal brat absolutely cannot be allowed to remain. With his help, the War God will be like a tiger with wings; we must fight them, damn it!

The False Gods began to meet and whisper among themselves, exchanging their anxieties.

"We must join forces! Otherwise, no one will escape! Quack!" a false god shining with golden light proposed loudly, his voice filled with determination.

"I agree!"

"Count me in!"

"For survival, we must unite!"

Very quickly and smoothly, the Alliance of Gods was established once again.

They unanimously pointed their spears at the War God and the nightmare immortal. Of course, under Xiang Yan's special care, the focus was on Nelson.

The Alliance of Gods successfully besieged the War God again. Then, they left a small portion to stall the War God while the majority ran off to beat up Nelson.

Amidst a shout of "I really thank you! My Lord!", the gods finally succeeded in eliminating the nightmare immortal.

Seeing his subordinate killed and even the Godhead stored with him explode, the War God also tacitly stopped fighting with the other gods.

The War God scanned the gods with a sharp gaze and said, "You all! Very good!"

Then he departed.

The gods didn't care about the War God's threat and also left one after another. After all, everyone had a mutual aid treaty. If the War God couldn't hack them to death instantly, what awaited him was a group siege!

At the same time, the Believers of the Nightmare Immortal Cult, under Xiang Yan's arrangement, completed their "faking death to escape" and arrived in the Eastern Hemisphere.

They gradually took over government power and presided over various disaster relief and reconstruction efforts.

The Night Goddess was aware of the arrival of the Nightmare Immortal Cult; after all, it was hard not to know with such fanfare. However, under Xiang Yan's influence, she only felt that there was another competitor on the path of gaining public popularity, and she needed to work harder to realize her expectations sooner!

She had no other additional thoughts at all.
