Chapter 840: Chapter 840
If they had encountered someone other than Bai Fu, another proud Rebirth Empire collaborator, not to mention Garcia, they would likely have turned into corpses due to the implications. They wouldn't have had the chance to visit the Ancestral Origin Star or seek help from the Rebirth Empire to deal with the Apostle Holy City.
After giving the Rajas people a shock, Bai Fu discussed with the Sword Emperor, who was responsible for defending the region near the Ancestral Origin Star, and the Lord of Vortex, to urgently report the incident to the Imperial Elder Council.
Discovering a civilization in the Dark Domain was not news worth the Imperial Elder Council's attention, but it became different if this civilization knew the secrets of the Apostle Holy City.
The Empire immediately convened a remote meeting.
The attendees included the Emperor, members of the Elder Council, most of the trustworthy Dominator Level and Super Supreme Level partners, and representatives from the Rajas Civilization.
At the meeting, the Empire inquired in detail about the Rajas Civilization's encounters and the specific power of the Apostle Holy City.
The Rajas Civilization's interaction with the Apostle Holy City hasn't been long, not even twenty years if counted fully, but many things have happened during these twenty years. When the Apostle Holy City was raising dogs in the Rajas Civilization, some ambitious people in Rajas were also trying their best to infiltrate the Apostle Holy City to understand its secrets.
The process wasn't very smooth, but Rajas Civilization did get a lot of intelligence.
The Apostle Holy City is a special religious civilization formed by the merger of seven smaller civilizations that worship the Spiritual Ability God.
These seven civilizations established seven great cathedrals. Though called cathedrals, they are actually man-made wonders integrating administrative, military, and religious centers, larger than most gas giant planets.
The leaders of the cathedrals are called Candidate Saints, and the leader of the entire civilization is called the Supreme Divine Disciple.
Every Supreme Divine Disciple is selected from the seven Candidate Saints, and the vacant position of Candidate Saint will be filled by others in the cathedral.
It's worth noting that a hard requirement to become a Candidate Saint is that power must reach the Super Supreme Level.
"How many Super Supreme are there in the Apostle Holy City?"
Ruth shook her head: "The specific situation is not clear, but it's certain that each cathedral has at least three Super Supreme. The most, the third cathedral, has produced six Super Supreme in recent years! Besides these seven cathedrals, the Judgement Court and True Spirit Temple of the Apostle Holy City also have Super Supreme overseeing them. The power of the Judgement Court and True Spirit Temple, if taken alone, is no weaker than any one cathedral."
Even knowing that the Apostle Holy City, as the main antagonist of version 3.0, wouldn't be simple, Bai Fu was still surprised after hearing Ruth's words.
According to Ruth's estimation, the Apostle Holy City must have at least 30 Super Supreme, and it's probably even more in reality.
No wonder Apostle Holy City has the confidence to fight three on its own.
It should be noted that the Dominators and Super Supremes of the Rebirth Empire combined just barely exceed thirty.
During this time, she had helped the Rebirth Empire boost the strength of many top combatants, such as Demetri and Chong Xiao, who have both successfully completed three Divine Transformations by now. However, compared to the Apostle Holy City, the improved Rebirth Empire still seems a bit inadequate.
Only by uniting the three Cosmic Level civilizations can they contend with the Apostle Holy City. But can they unite?
As she pondered this question, the Shepherd Heinz asked, "What is the power level of the strongest in the Apostle Holy City now?"
Bai Fu perked up her ears; this question was crucial.
Ruth replied: "I'm not sure. I just heard from people in the Apostle Holy City that the current Supreme Divine Disciple is about to transform into the Eternal Son. I don't know what exactly this Eternal Son is."
In the virtual meeting room, almost everyone frowned.
They didn't know what this is either.
But the Supreme Divine Disciple, being able to secure the position, might have already completed four Divine Transformations, perhaps even five.
The most prestigious elders had a private exchange with the Emperor and then announced the end of the meeting, during which they instructed the Lord of Vortex to escort the Rajas Civilization representatives to the Imperial Capital Star for further confirmation.
It was impossible for the Rajas people not to feel uneasy at this point.
Could they get support from the Rebirth Empire?
Bai Fu specially held a farewell party for them, bringing many players to witness it.
She knew clearly that the Rajas Civilization's representatives would not gain much from this trip; the Empire would not immediately wage war against the Apostle Holy City, nor would it send troops to help them against the Apostle Holy City. The Empire has never been a sentimental one.
However, to express gratitude for the intelligence provided by the Rajas people, the Empire would certainly offer them a resting place and some funds and resources.
Of course, this is not what the Rajas people hoped for.
The Rajas would feel disappointed and uneasy amidst the waiting and stalling, and at that time, it would be her turn to step in.
The opportunity came quicker than Bai Fu had expected.
In just a month, disappointments began to arise among the Rajas as hope diminished.
The members of the Iron Blood Party reacted most strongly, but even the Moderate Faction felt disappointed. Even having found a Cosmic Level civilization, the situation had not improved.
They understood but couldn't wait any longer. The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous their comrades captured by the Apostle Holy City became. They didn't want to waste time on the planet the Empire allotted to them, waiting for an uncertain future, planning to visit the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry.
"I think you might as well not waste time. Your situation at the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry won't be much better than in the Rebirth Empire."
Bai Fu stood with her arms crossed, against the wall, addressing Ruth who came from afar.
Ruth was silent for a long while before saying: "We have to try to know if the road is passable. If it really doesn't work, we plan to continue the previous plan and contact civilizations also affected by the Apostle Holy City."
Bai Fu nodded: "I can help you."
"Hmm?" Ruth was stunned, "What did you say?"
Bai Fu said: "I said I can help you, but to be clear, even I don't have the power to persuade the Rebirth Empire to send people to help rescue your kin at this time, nor do I have the power to rescue your kin now. But, I can help you contact other civilizations and provide you with urgently needed resources. Some dangerous tasks can be handled by the Undying People who follow me. With this help, I think your chances of rescuing your kin might be slightly better."
Ruth was flabbergasted.
She wanted to ask Bai Fu why she wanted to help them and why she went so far for them.
But she quickly thought of the feats she saw in the museum and the evaluations she heard from the ordinary people and Undying People about Bai Fu these days.
Is it hard to understand? The source of thɪs content is novel★fire.net
Because this "human" in front of her is called Bai Fu!
Would Saintess Bai Fu help people and still need to ask why?
Ruth was very touched and quickly relayed the news to others.
At that moment, the hundreds of thousands of Rajas people who fled abroad all cheered.
Great, it's Bai Fu, we're saved!
[Your Reputation with the [Rajas Exile Government Camp] +350]
[Affinity with [Rajas Exile Government Camp] +500]
One notification after another sounded.
Bai Fu smiled and nodded.
Great, now she could seize the opportunity to lead the Rajas civilization's attempt to establish an Anti-Apostle Holy City Alliance.
She actually didn't think this alliance could cause much harm to the Apostle Holy City, but that wasn't important. What's important was that she did it.
This is something that, once done, makes people feel very great.
And from the players' perspective, isn't an NPC doing great things a protagonist?
Gathering countless players in the name of greatness, once all the players gathered, for the healthy development of the game, even if she wasn't originally great, the planners would find a way to make her as great as possible.
Several days later, the long-running version 2.2 finally announced its end, and the version 2.3 shutdown update arrived, along with the updates Bai Fu had been looking forward to.
"By the time the version 2.3 trailer comes out, should it also certify me once?"
