The fanatics referred to themselves as ‘awakened people’ or ‘glorious people’, while the other people of the Sanctuary, who were still muddle-headed and had no sense of subjectivity, were ‘the fools’ and ‘the blind people’. Their slogan was ‘100% of the faith is not enough. 120% of the faith is the real faith’.

They believed that it was because there were too many ‘the fools’ and ‘the blind people’ in the Sanctuary that the glory of the gods had not spread to the entire universe yet.

Since the current path was not feasible, he had to change to a more fanatical and extreme way. As for the evidence, wasn’t it right in front of him? If the current path was correct, why did he waste a thousand years and still fail to resolve a “small empire”?

Therefore, of course, the fanatics had to turn the world upside down, wake up more “The Fools’ and ‘Blind Ones’, and spread their glory to every nerve in the entire Sanctuary.

If the ‘Disillusionment Virus’ could make people slack off, the ‘Glory Virus’ could be said to be on the other side of the spectrum. The fanatics who were infected by the virus all seemed to be slacking off, as if they were disloyal to their master and the gods and possessed by the extraterrestrial devils.

As a result, cases where the infected attacked other people on countless planets and starships were reported. Those who were captured were often justified and justified. They ‘woke’ other people up because they wanted to inspire their loyalty and honor and improve their work efficiency.

The Glorious Virus grew more and more intense. Later, there was even an absurd theory.

It was said that two of the five supreme masters were in favor of revolution. They wanted to inject more positive ingredients into the brains of the ‘soldier bees’ and the ‘worker bees’, so that they would be brighter, more determined, and more fanatical.

But the other three masters had different opinions. They were still hesitating and insisting on their current path, which was destined to be hopeless.

Therefore, the ‘realists’ and the ‘honors’ had to support their master and show the hesitant masters their strength!

It was not hard to imagine how much damage the victims of the Glorious Virus would cause when they thought that they had a backer and that they could cause a riot. If such absurd rumors reached the ears of the five supreme masters, they would certainly be shocked.

The Glory Virus was much more destructive than the Disillusionment Virus. It had even caused vague cracks among the five supreme masters. It was also from then on that the puppet king and his belief would surface and make him the public enemy of the entire Sanctuary!

One wave after another rose up. The flames raised by the Disillusionment Virus and the Glory Virus were not put out yet, and the Taotie Virus was spreading again.

If the first two types of viruses were too abstract and impractical, the Taotie Virus was the most primitive appetite for human beings. It could spread faster, had a larger range, and was more difficult to defend. Countless ‘soldier bees’ and ‘worker bees’ had turned into ghouls. Even the priests of the Kindest

Clan had been corrupted. It was evident that the puppet king’s Cultivation and his ability to produce ‘brain viruses’ were improving day by day and were unstoppable!

After reading the files of the puppet king, Li Yao could not calm himself down for a long time.

“I suddenly feel that he is much better than you. Really.”

“Look,” the mental devil said. “After you came to the Imperium of True Human Beings, you met a series of coincidences by accident. At first, you tried to cozy up to the empress. Then, you relied on Long Yangjun, Little Ming, and Wenwen. In the end, you had to rely on your own brother, Li Jialing, to back

you up. Even so, you failed to take care of the imperium. You had to compromise with the Immortal Cultivators such as Lei Chenhu and cook a half-cooked bowl of raw rice. You failed to eliminate the four major families, too. The so-called ‘Half-Wall Black Wind King of the Imperium is in fact sloppy and

unclear. Weakness and compromise are on full display!

“Look at the puppet king, Look at him! If he is an old friend of the Star Glory Federation, he must’ve been a lone wolf who led a squad to the Sanctuary Alliance.

“But he was able to create all kinds of bizarre, deadly viruses from scratch and fight against the five supreme masters of kindness by himself. He turned the entire Sanctuary Alliance upside down. No matter how many ‘God Blessers’, ‘Purifiers’, and ‘Cleaners’ the Sanctuary Alliance sent out, he always

swaggered and got away with it!

“The existence of the puppet king has seriously undermined the evil plan of the leadership of the Star Glory Federation to gather all the resources and fight a last battle against the Star Glory Federation. The main force of the Star Glory Federation has been delayed, and the leadership of the Star Glory

Federation have been forced to devote most of their energy and resources to the internal affairs of the Star Glory Federation. Otherwise, the main fleet of the Star Glory Federation might have appeared in the sky of the imperial capital half a year ago, and the Star Glory Federation would’ve been doomed a

long time ago. You, the Black Wind King, wouldn’t have had the chance to show off at all.

“Therefore, on the surface, you saved the imperium and the entire Pangu Universe indirectly. But in fact, your medal should be half, if not half, of the Puppet King’s!

“Difference. This is the difference. In comparison, you are far from them. No wonder the puppet king ranks first in the ‘individual threat database’ of the people of the Star Glory Federation, while you are merely… in the top three!

“Hey hey hey, that’s enough. I’ve been suppressed by someone. Do I look glorious on your face?”

Li Yao couldn’t help but say, “I’m a man of the righteous path. Naturally, I have a lot of scruples when doing things. But this puppet king is a despicable and perverted lunatic. He can even think of evil things like the ‘Disillusionment Virus’, the ‘Glory Virus’, and the ‘Taotie Virus’. Of course, he looks a bit

more arrogant!”

“But don’t you think that, for a nation as evil as the Sanctuary Alliance, only the methods of the puppet kings are effective? As the saying goes, ‘fight poison with poison’!

‘The mental devil said, “After reading the cases, I’m more and more impressed by this mysterious old friend. Haha. To think that he came up with the idea that ‘we have the support of two supreme masters. All the awakeners, seize our glory’. Hahaha. I really want to see the faces of the five fellows when

they hear the story!”

“Please be more firm in your stance. We are cultivators. We absolutely won’t use the lives and dignity of ordinary people as weapons!”

Li Yao said solemnly, “At the end of the day, there is no difference between the puppet king and the supreme master. They are both twisting and obliterating humanity for their own purposes. If the God’s Heart Society of the puppet king really takes over the power of the entire Sanctuary, he will only

transform the Sanctuary into an even darker and more evil nation!

“Hehe. Of course, that’s what I thought.

“However,” the mental devil said, “if you were the puppet king, what would you do in the face of such a Holy Alliance?

“No. There is no need to ‘swap’ them at all. Let’s just say that the situation in front of us is good. It’s true that the Holy Alliance, which is controlled by the five supreme masters, is not good, but what can you do? Even if you slay the five supreme masters instantly with your destructive techniques, what are

you going to do about the billions of civilians of the vast Holy Alliance who have lost their humanity and the hundreds of Sectors whose resources are scarce and are on the verge of collapse?

“Come on. Tell me. With your ‘cultivation spirit’ and ‘charisma’, how are you going to maintain the post-Sanctuary Alliance era without a wise master? How are you going to awaken the humanity of the ‘soldiers’ and the ‘worker bees’ bit by bit with the safety, order, and the resources needed for the

minimum cycle of billions of creatures and hundreds of worlds?

“Yes. The puppet king is a ‘fierce drug’ with strong side effects. If you feel that he is wrong, what about your prescription, Doctor Li?”

Li Yao was dazed for a long time. Then he said, “We can’t do that anyway. There must be another way, right?”

“Ha!” the mental devil replied.

Li Yao gritted his teeth. “Look at the victims of the Disillusionment Virus who don’t even know how to scream in pain when they are beaten black and blue, and the ghouls who turn into animals by feeding on the flesh and blood of their own kind. Do you think that is the right way to wake up their

humanity?”

“Alright, I was wrong. It’s not.”

The mental devil replied, “Play the passionate videos.”

” “Li Yao.

“The mental devil.

Li Yao sighed. “Forget it. I’m tired enough pretending to be a spider tank. I don’t want to argue with you. Can we change the topic?”

“Sure.”

The mental devil replied, “The puppet king is naturally the focus of our attention, but the movements of the main force of the Star Glory Federation are even more important. Although there are not many military secrets in the database of the Heresy Interrogation Bureau, we can still find some clues from

the frequency and the range of the cases.

“You see, two years ago, when the various viruses of the puppet king were just released, most of the cases took place on habitable planets and resource planets. But gradually, fewer and fewer cases took place on planets, and more and more cases took place on starships.

“There’s also the range of infection. In the beginning, the outbreak of the virus was usually confined to one or five starships. But in the past half year, when the virus broke out, the infected could often be found on dozens of starships. What does that mean?

Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, “The puppet king’s technology in making mental drugs is getting more and more sophisticated. Also, the brain viruses developed by him have gone through weird mutations, too. Are they more contagious and destructive than before?”

“That is one of the reasons. But more importantly, it is indicative that most of the forces of the Star Alliance have been transferred from the planets to starships, which are getting denser and denser.

The mental devil analyzed, “You see, two years ago, a lot of resources and troops of the Holy Alliance were scattered on the planets of various Sectors. They were far away from each other, and the transmission of information was not frequent. Therefore, the virus of the puppet king could only break out

on one planet at a time.

“But in only two years, most of the resources and troops on the planets have been integrated into the starships, which have been gathering into a magnificent fleet. Maybe it is a super fleet that has never been seen since the expedition to the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago!

“It is exactly because a lot of starships have been compressed to a very small space and connected to the same large, complicated network of battle data where astronomical information is flowing among hundreds of starships every second that the brain virus of the puppet king has caused so much

damage.

“It is also one of the reasons why the leadership of the Star Glory Federation is in a hurry to eliminate the puppet king as soon as possible. Since a great war is coming, their battle data network will only get tighter and tighter. They will not split or even paralyze the entire network for the puppet king

alone.

“In other words, if we can capture the puppet king in advance and find a way to… manipulate or even swallow him, we might be able to crush the entire battle network of the Star Glory Federation at the critical moment of the war between the Star Glory Federation and the imperium with the puppet king’s

strength!
