Chapter 103 - God-Making Project
Hearing these words, Ye Mo sized up Liu Muxiao carefully, falling into a short period of thought and silence.
To be honest, he was quite covetous of Liu Muxiao.
Not of her body, but of her existing background and connections.
Having such an obedient partner for cooperation could save him too much trouble.
It should be known that Liu Muxiao was not just one person; behind her were also the countless players and Agents she supported.
The available existing talents were innumerable.
Possessing her was equivalent to possessing a not insignificant force.
There were simply too many things she could do for him.
"I have felt your sincerity, but this ideal of yours is somewhat unrealistic."
Ye Mo reminded Liu Muxiao.
Wanting to unify all aristocratic families was equivalent to wanting to annex all aristocratic families.
This was almost no different from making an enemy of all aristocratic families.
"Rest assured, I have a plan for this. Of course... I need your Class Card right now. As for the price, we can just calculate it according to what was discussed before."
"Fine, after the Class Card is manufactured, you can just come and get it."
Ye Mo nodded. Since he had already agreed to the cooperation, his player slot naturally had to be reserved for Liu Muxiao.
As for Li Changkong's side...
He would just have to wait until next time.
Seeing Ye Mo agree to the cooperation, Liu Muxiao continued to pull another stack of files out of her small bag.
"Next, let me talk to you about our situation. Although you wiped out the Zhou family, you broke a certain balance among the aristocratic families.
Especially those families that had an alliance relationship with the Zhou family.
They will fear an unstable existence like you even more.
They will inevitably use all their connections to investigate you in the shadows and find ways to get rid of you. And those forces are also the biggest obstacles to my goal of unifying the aristocratic families.
So, we are now considered to be people on the same boat."
As everyone knew, wanting to borrow the power of a god definitely required harsh conditions!
And this type of person was called a Godchild, which was also the greatest foundation of the Six Saint Sanctuaries.
The reason the Six Saint Sanctuaries could replace the aristocratic families and rule the world for so many years in the early days.
The main reason was the Godchildren.
Liu Muxiao speculated that Ye Mo should also be a Godchild.
In other words, he might have the aptitude to establish a Seventh Holy Court.
It was just that he was still a fledgling.
This was also the reason why Liu Muxiao dared to bet herself on Ye Mo.
She wanted to give him the greatest help and support before the fledgling spread its wings and soared.
To put it plainly, this was an investment.
"So you're saying, it's not just the Zhou family sacrificing to an Evil God, but other families have similar operations too?"
Ye Mo frowned slightly.
He originally thought sacrificing to an Evil God was a low-probability event, but it turned out it was just hidden too deeply.
"You think of the aristocratic families too simply. The Zhou family was just the tip of the iceberg of their alliance. Their true masters behind the scenes are actually the Six Saint Sanctuaries of the West.
The relationships inside are very complex, involving not only the struggles between aristocratic families but also the antagonistic relationships within the Six Saint Sanctuaries."
Hearing this, Ye Mo was somewhat enlightened.
No wonder there were two Demigods from the Witch God Church inside the Zhou family.
Liu Muxiao thought for a moment, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Mo, and asked:
"Do you know about... the God-Making Project?"
"God-Making Project?"
Ye Mo's brow furrowed slightly, indicating he had not heard of it.
"In the primitive era, to contend against the Six Saint Sanctuaries, all the aristocratic families formed an alliance called the Anti-God Alliance.
At that time, the Anti-God Alliance generally believed that the gods behind the Six Saint Sanctuaries were all outsiders.
Their seemingly free gifts, bestowing classes and power upon humans, actually had prices marked in secret long ago. Sooner or later, they will descend upon the world and take back the authorities they bestowed upon humans.
When that time comes...
Humans will be nothing more than cattle and sheep that they have raised in captivity. So, in order to be able to contend against those descending gods, they prepared to create a god belonging to themselves!
Of course, some people also rumored that this was a facade spread by the Anti-God Alliance at that time to stop the expansion of the Six Saint Sanctuaries."
Speaking to this point, Liu Muxiao took a deep breath, as if recalling some sad past event.
"But regardless, the Anti-God Alliance still did it, in pursuit of the so-called god-making. They committed many inhumane deeds.
Human experiments, fusion of divine cells, the source and breakdown of player power, and so on!
They even created many monsters that were neither human nor ghost.
Those monsters had no sanity, but were incomparably powerful; some even had strength comparable to a True God!
Fortunately, this kind of thing was eventually exposed, causing dissatisfaction among many citizens and players.
As a result, many people turned against them and joined forces with the Six Saint Sanctuaries to completely overthrow the existence of the Anti-God Alliance."
Hearing Liu Muxiao's account, Ye Mo looked astonished.
This piece of history was naturally something he had never heard of!
Only children of aristocratic families could learn about these things.
"Then... did their experiment succeed? Did they create the god they envisioned that could contend against the Six Saints?"
"I don't know. Some say it succeeded, and some say it failed."
Liu Muxiao shook her head and continued:
"But regardless, the foundations of some ancient aristocratic families are extremely terrifying. Because in their hands, they might be clutching irrational, controllable True Gods.
And they are still continuously conducting experiments in secret.
So, the aristocratic families were divided into two factions.
One is the Zhou family's faction; they seek symbiosis with the Sanctuaries and agree to Divine Descent.
The other is the old faction; in order to contend against the Sanctuaries, they have always persisted in god-making. Unfortunately, most of the research data of the Anti-God Alliance was destroyed long ago.
The only things remaining are those man-made war weapons comparable to True Gods, as well as remains.
But those things belong to the category of one-time consumables; use one, and there's one less. So the god-making faction urgently wants to create players or Agents comparable to gods."
Speaking to this point, Liu Muxiao subconsciously touched that cartoon figure coin on her wrist.
"Then you are of the god-making faction?"
Ye Mo frowned and asked curiously.
Since Liu Muxiao was antagonistic toward the Zhou family, her family should be of the god-making faction.
"En, and... I myself am a failed experiment."
Hearing this, Ye Mo's expression stiffened.
'A failed experiment?'
'What did that mean?'
'Could it be that Liu Muxiao was actually an experiment of her own family?'
'This was too explosive!'
'To actually use their own people as experimental subjects?'
"I am the illegitimate daughter of the Liu family's third branch; my mother was a pauper from the Lower District.
My father was ignorant and incompetent; giving birth to me was entirely an accident.
So, in the eyes of the Liu family.
I am a hybrid of an impure bloodline, undoubtedly the best candidate to be used as an experimental subject for the God-Making Project.
Unfortunately... they failed.
They only allowed me to possess a special constitution, but I did not obtain the God-Slayer trait."
Liu Muxiao recounted calmly.
As if recounting something completely unrelated to herself.
Or rather, she had long since become numb to it.
"God-Slayer trait?"
Hearing this, Ye Mo's brow furrowed slightly.
He associated it with Meng Li's class introduction; after upgrading to the top tier, she possessed the possibility of slaying gods.
Could it be...
The ultimate goal of the Liu family was to create or unearth a trait similar to Meng Li's "God-Slayer"?
Unfortunately, the experiment failed, and Liu Muxiao did not obtain that kind of ability, but instead obtained another kind of special constitution.
Wait!
'The intensity of my several SSS-Rank classes is almost all about the same.'
'If Meng Li's Power of Ghost God could awaken into the God-Slayer trait.'
'Then can the traits of other classes also awaken into traits similar to God-slaying?'
