The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 128.2

This wasn’t something obscure or hard to understand. The beautiful illustrations, from a certain perspective, also eased the readers’ impulse to want to kill the creator when viewing 2.0.

Over-interpretation was truly poisonous at times.

However… regarding “holding the world in one’s own hands”…

The Mercenary Alliance Guild Master sighed deeply. “Rather than saying it’s holding the world in one’s own hands, it’s more like wanting the world to develop according to an individual’s vision of goodness.”

“You’re right about that,” Roy nodded. “The little master has absolutely no desire for money or power.”

But everyone knew that the probability of an individual’s vision of goodness being recognized and realized by a group was pitifully low.

Especially in the eyes of those who didn’t know the truth.

Those who knew would sigh about how much Su Li had endured, while those who didn’t would curse after seeing 2.0: “Is this wandering poet called Ai sick to make such deep interpretations of another person’s ordinary actions, and even specifically write them into a book?”

“In my opinion, if looking at hands can have so many interpretations, then when I go to the toilet, wouldn’t that mean I’m releasing all the harshness from my body?”

Euphia glanced at those employers who tried to assign tasks, her eyes as cold as if she were looking at corpses.

Roy also wanted to take action, but after seeing Euphia’s expression, he suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

When he raised his head again, there was no extra expression on Roy’s face.

He only told Euphia, “Rather than caring about such irrelevant people, think about how they don’t even qualify to meet the little master.”

“Besides, I think Lan Zhe has a point.”

“For things that will eventually need to be done, rather than worrying about some people’s feelings, it’s better to think about what more people who want to know the truth think.”

Euphia’s fingers twitched slightly. She narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully, “So you’re planning to bypass Su Li and release some information directly?”

“There’s nothing wrong with doing that, but without Su Li’s active disclosure, we can’t accurately organize information to prove facts, as well as various corresponding books and documents.”

“You still care about that?” Roy raised an eyebrow.

“Sadina City is ultimately just a city.”

Some information couldn’t be released in the Inner City because no matter what, that city was the capital, and once information appeared there, it would spread throughout the entire country in the blink of an eye, causing shockwaves.

But if they simply conducted a pilot program in Sadina City, for those who already knew the truth, even if there was some turbulence, it wouldn’t put pressure on the existing system.

Moreover, if this was done successfully, it would yield positive results from multiple directions.

Don’t underestimate the resilience of the human spirit.

Humans were the species most prone to internal strife when there was no external pressure, but conversely, when facing external pressure, they were also the most likely to band together, twisting into a rope of hemp.

However, as these two young people began to formulate their next plan, the Mercenary Alliance Guild Master standing nearby stopped their unlimited imagination.

“Some things might seem good from our perspective if we bypass Su Li, but for Su Li, that might not necessarily be the case,” the Guild Master shook his head gently.

“Rather than doing things behind Su Li’s back, why not think about how to organize our language, lay out all the facts, and present them to him.”

“Or do you think that child would deliberately stop you from doing what you sincerely want to do?”

The two might not have agreed with the earlier statements, but the last sentence left them stunned.

When the Mercenary Alliance Guild Master’s figure disappeared from the guild hall, Euphia suddenly came to her senses.

She immediately walked out from the reception work area and said to Roy, “I suddenly had an idea.”

“Coincidentally, so do I,” Roy straightened his collar and walked directly out of the bustling hall.

However, when the two walked out of the guild hall together, the glance they exchanged was full of lightning and thunder.

Meanwhile, at Su Li’s place.

The protagonist’s peaceful school days really didn’t last for many days.

First, Qi said, “The book ‘No One Understands Lord Su Li Better Than Me 2’ has been immensely beneficial to me.”

Then Egbert sincerely expressed, “I can finally glimpse a part of the forest in Lord’s inner world.”

Occasionally, Lan Zhe would also actively share information from the Inner City, saying, “The Dark Church has temporarily come into the open.”

“As for transformation, I personally prefer to openly divide the Dark Church members, like streams flowing into rivers and seas, and then privately regroup them to establish your personal forces. After all, that Princess Ophelia in the Inner City still has some personal value, and before completely subduing her, you need to have the corresponding strength to make her submit.”

“The power of a force is also a kind of strength, isn’t it?”

Su Li: ???

What was all this?

Su Li’s mind was filled with confusion.

Could the same thing cause social death multiple times?

And the future development plan for the Dark Church… what did that have to do with him, an honest ordinary student?

The most absurd part was that Euphia and Roy, along with the Lion’s Club leader, said they planned to make the ordinary residents of Sadina City understand the reality of the world in advance.

Su Li was confused.

“The world has always been real, only those trapped in self-awareness doubt its falsity.”

Having been a transmigrator for so long and experienced all sorts of chaos, Su Li truly hadn’t expected that when everyone around him started taking action, things could get even more chaotic.

For instance, Julius had taken Diz back to the Church of Light.

Mavis told Su Li, “I personally believe that Julius wants the Church of Light to no longer exist. Or rather, he plans to transform it into a place for emotional attachment, rather than an object of true faith.”

No one could determine what exactly ‘God’ was.

“What about you?” Su Li asked Mavis, who was carrying her luggage.

The Dark Holy Maiden said, “I’m not like Lan Zhe with his high degree of freedom.”

“He can stay at your home as a house husband, even for a lifetime if he wants. But for a working adult like me, I’ve been urged by my boss to work more than once.”

The Dark Pope might agree with Lan Zhe’s idea of splitting and transforming, but in the short term, he definitely couldn’t accept having both his Dark Holy Son and Dark Holy Maiden running off to Su Li’s home.

Su Li wanted to speak but hesitated.

What was going on?

How did he suddenly feel like he’d encountered a corporate slave from another world…

And even experienced a subtle resonance.

…….

While Su Li was left in a daze by the people around him, Ophelia, far away in the Inner City, had truly fallen into confusion.

She discovered the truth.

This truth instantly stopped her desire to kill the King.

And this truth also plunged Ophelia into a state of helplessness.

“How is that possible?” she questioned loudly.

“There’s no question of possibility or impossibility, this is the fact.” The person who answered was the Grand Justice. He stood in the King’s palace, lowering his eyebrows and slightly bowing, looking at first glance like the purest of ministers.

Previously, the Grand Justice and the Pope of the Dark Church had completed their cooperation, turning those wolf-like nobles into obedient dogs, and now planned to bring the truth that Su Li had hinted at more than once out into the open.

However, as a judicial official who had already attracted enough hatred, the Grand Justice didn’t want to place the truth about the monster beast civilization before the public, something that could potentially draw more hatred.

So he chose to report this matter to the King.

Coincidentally, Ophelia happened to hear this conversation when she came to find the King.

Unlike Willard, who chose to send a letter after hearing the conversation between her and the King, Ophelia immediately entered the center of the discussion.

The Grand Justice knew from her collapsing expression that Ophelia must have heard the entire conversation.

He didn’t care much about Ophelia knowing the truth. What he cared about was not being the one to announce this to the public.

Therefore, as a minister, choosing to respond when facing the Princess was the most normal behavior.

Ophelia didn’t believe it. “If there are monster beasts powerful enough to disregard humans, then how could they watch as low-level monster beasts in the Beast Forest area are killed by humans and made into alchemy tools and various elemental cultivation resources?”

A smile flashed across the Grand Justice’s lips, but in an instant, he returned to his stern-faced elderly appearance.

However, he still explained to the simple Princess. “When have you seen level 8 and 9 monster beasts, who already possess obvious intelligence, treat those low-level beasts as their companions?”

“I thought that the largest monster beast invasion in Siliqing City in recent years would give Your Highness some experience. Now it seems I was thinking too much.”

When Na’an had driven numerous monster beasts to invade Siliqing City, apart from causing massive casualties among humans, countless monster beasts had also died.

From a human perspective, regardless of whether the truth was that Na’an was seeking revenge, when she chose to drive low-level monster beasts to act collectively, it already meant that high-level monster beasts didn’t take low-level ones seriously.

Not to mention members of the monster beast civilization system, whose lowest strength was equivalent to that of a level nine monster beast.

The Grand Justice’s string of sarcastic remarks made the veins on Ophelia’s forehead throb with anger.

But she couldn’t find words to refute him.

Her previous questioning was merely a blurted expression of extreme shock.

With rationality slightly returning, Ophelia could clearly see through the facts.

She didn’t want to entangle with the Grand Justice, who was eager to shift the blame, nor did she plan to shoulder the burden herself. After bidding farewell to the King, Ophelia returned directly to her own palace.

As rationality returned, she began to contemplate the current situation.

First, without gaining military power, she could only ascend to the throne with the King’s support. But after discovering that it was the King who had poisoned her, Ophelia no longer believed she could take the throne with his support.

Until now, this Princess still didn’t know that the person who had poisoned her was the silent Willard.

Her attention was entirely on what she possessed.

For power, she had none. For outside family support, both her mother and father were dead.

Her only brother, apart from blood ties, was no longer the same person in soul.

Furthermore…

The soldiers surrounding Sadina City had long been withdrawn.

Currently, military power was partly hidden in the King’s hands and partly in the Grand Justice’s hands.

Ophelia had nothing and had gained nothing.

Especially in this state of having almost nothing, she abruptly learned another truth about the world.

With just a moment’s thought about who had uncovered this truth, Ophelia couldn’t help but lock her suspicions on Su Li.

The Princess was now very confused.

She wasn’t sure if she still needed to fight for the throne.

She suddenly didn’t understand what the meaning was behind all her efforts.

But deep in her heart, an unclear voice was screaming, not that she didn’t understand the meaning of her actions, but that she suddenly realized that no matter how hard she tried, it was meaningless.

If information personally presented by the Grand Justice to the King, showing an obvious desire to shift blame, could still be false… then Ophelia would dare say that her purpose in seeking the King just now wasn’t to assassinate him but to celebrate his new year’s birthday.

If the information was true, then how did the person who discovered this information view it?

This was the only answer Ophelia now wanted to know.

As for those thoughts about sitting on the throne, they were temporarily kicked into a corner.

With beings that could at any time overturn human rule or even trample human civilization, no matter how much Ophelia wanted to sit on the throne and possess authority above ten thousand people, she couldn’t help but wonder…

Was that still the power and freedom she wanted?

It wasn’t at all.

What’s the difference between a position that doesn’t represent authority and absolute status, and her current position as a Princess?

That’s why she wanted to know how Su Li, who discovered the monster beast civilization, viewed this fact.

Ophelia planned to go to Sadina City.

Besides wanting to get an answer from Su Li that she might not be able to rest in peace without, she also had the idea of struggling a bit more to continue surviving.

The Dark Church had already come into the open, so it shouldn’t be difficult for the Princess of Amikbi to ask the Dark Holy Son to cure her poison.

With this killing of two birds with one stone, a second visit to Sadina City became a necessary action for Ophelia.

In a flash, Ophelia, who had hastily taken leave at that time, asked for leave from the King, saying she wanted to go to the Mercenary City.

Her reason was good too, claiming she wanted to capture Xiao Zuo, who had tainted the royal bloodline.

When the King heard about this cuckold, his breathing became rapid, the toxins in his blood surged, and under intense emotional fluctuation, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell into a coma.

Ophelia froze in place for a moment, then frantically called for the palace doctor to come for treatment, acting with deep affection.

After the King regained consciousness, Ophelia first expressed that she shouldn’t have mentioned topics related to Xiao Zuo, and then gave a new reason.

This time, the reason was to deal with the aftermath of the Mercenary City being surrounded by a large army.

After all, the mercenary hiring mechanism of the Mercenary City was an inevitable and not-to-be-ignored force for this country, as long as it didn’t regress back to the era of slavery.

If the Mercenary City restricted mercenaries from accepting hiring tasks from the Inner City, many economic tasks leading to various cities would suffer major blows.

So Ophelia’s main purpose for this trip was to negotiate peace.

This reason was good; at least the King didn’t spit blood.

When Ophelia left, not only did she not face obstruction, but she was also assigned two members of the group of ten.

It was only later, on her way to Sadina City, that Ophelia suddenly realized that it couldn’t possibly be the King who had poisoned her.

If it was the King who had poisoned her, if it was the King who wanted her dead, then the King wouldn’t have been angered to the point of spitting blood just by the name Xiao Zuo.

—— After all, she was the one who had truly tainted the royal bloodline.

Conversely, it meant the poisoner was someone else.

Ophelia had also considered whether she should terminate her journey to Sadina City… but in the end, she chose to continue this trip.

She wouldn’t die in the short term, so her urgent desire to understand the truth would outweigh the threat of slow-acting poison.

Ophelia’s carriage finally stopped at the gates of Sadina City.

The Mercenary City had truly experienced what could be called “lively” during this period.

Not in terms of atmosphere, but spiritually.

“No One Understands Lord Su Li Better Than Me 1 & 2,” these two books first opened the door to a new world for them, and then the truth of the world exploded like a thunderbolt before them.

After several days of continuous bewilderment, passersby suddenly reacted.

“So why have we been in a daze until now because of this?”

“I don’t know either.”

“But I can tell you with certainty that as long as mercenaries remain forever free, whether humans are under threat from monster beasts or not, we still don’t need to feel too fearful about it.”

Unlike the Grand Justice of the capital who feared exposing the truth would bring hatred upon himself, once Su Li agreed to let Euphia and Roy act freely, those two directly shocked the entire Mercenary City into mental confusion.

However, during the time Ophelia was traveling to Sadina City, the mercenaries’ confused minds were rearranged back to clarity.

For instance, at this moment, Ophelia, who had finally entered Sadina City and was still pondering whether to knock directly on Su Li’s door or have someone notify him, was first shocked by the conversation of passing pedestrians.

Passerby: “I think so too. Because ordinary people like us don’t need to consider from a group perspective. As for considering from an individual perspective… I’m a very average mercenary, and in a situation where level seven or eight monster beasts can easily kill me, let alone beings whose strength exceeds level nine monster beasts. That’s already legendary, and if they really want to kill me, I don’t think I’d have a chance to resist.”
