CHAPTER 519: CHAPTER 439: THE COUNTERATTACK OF THE TRUTH COUNCIL

"Everyone, I believe you have all felt it."

In a Truth Palace deep within the Nether Beach, the apostles gathered around a long conference table.

The elder at the head of the table was hunched over, wearing a long robe, and his ever-changing aged face was hidden under a hood.

"The power of [Truth] has been diluted."

As he said this, the surrounding apostles began to discuss fervently.

The burly man seated in the second seat slammed his palm on the unknown material of the conference table, leaving a large handprint.

"What’s there to panic about? It’s just a small dilution; it hasn’t harmed our core at all, and its impact on the Gate of Truth is negligible!

Are you planning to disarray yourselves before the enemy has even approached?"

The words of the Second Apostle quieted the gods and demons.

The First Apostle at the head held the Truth Staff and sighed softly.

"Though that’s true, something like this has never happened since the Gate of Truth stood at the pinnacle of the world.

We have always been the symbol of Truth.

And this is the critical foundation upon which the Gate of Truth and even the entire Truth Council survives.

To think that someone could really shake the authority of the Gate of Truth."

The First Apostle’s words made many of the members’ expressions turn grim once again.

The Second Apostle laughed angrily: "Well, then tell us, what should we do?"

"To solve the problem, we must first find the source of the problem."

The First Apostle said this while looking at the Fourth Apostle.

The latter reluctantly stood up as everyone turned their gaze towards him.

"That’s right, the source of all this is that damned Lette’s actions in the Nether Beach."

The Second Apostle curiously asked, "Lette again? I remember the Corrupt Lady, the Seventh Apostle, lost her life at his hands, didn’t she?"

"Yes."

The apostles all looked at the seventh seat on the long table, where the chair sat empty, like a tombstone.

Regarding Lette, some apostles knew him well before, while others had only heard the name in passing.

But after the fall of the Corrupt Lady, Lette suddenly became a hot topic among the members of the Truth Council.

After all, throughout the many years, he was the first being to hunt down a Truth Apostle.

Although there was a ranking among the apostles, aside from the top three and the top five, the strength of the other apostles was quite similar.

Since Lette could overthrow the Corrupt Lady, he naturally had the capability to defeat any of them.

Hearing the Fourth Apostle mention that man’s name, they all became serious.

The Second Apostle scratched his head: "So what exactly did he do in the Nether Beach?"

The Fourth Apostle’s expression became peculiar, and he hesitated, faltering a few times until the Second Apostle was about to slam the table again, he finally said hesitantly.

"He, he was cultivating mushrooms in the Nether Beach and then transmitting something called ’Philosophy’ to the mushrooms.

He even claimed that Philosophy is the wisdom left by the Ancient Sages, the root of all things.

I have seen part of it.

Honestly, it’s very profound! And the system is extremely complete, logically coherent in every aspect.

It’s simply a complete theory!

And of incredibly high quality!

That madman is actually using such precious wisdom to enlighten those damned spore mushroom beasts!

He even dignifies it as [Enlightenment].

In summary, if this so-called philosophy continues to persist, our situation will become quite dangerous!"

The Second Apostle waved dismissively: "The status of the Gate of Truth is not so easy to shake! You’re worrying excessively."

The Fourth Apostle sneered: "You say that only because you haven’t seen their rate of growth!

Whether in number or racial value, the Mushroom Beast Clan is expanding its numbers at an astonishingly rapid pace with no sign of stopping.

If it continues like this, the entire Nether Beach might be entirely occupied by them.

At that time, due to their overwhelming numbers and intense fervor!

A large portion of the Gate of Truth’s authority will inevitably be lost.

All our efforts over the years would become a joke."

Although the Fourth Apostle tried to explain things as clearly as possible, the other apostles, who had not witnessed the scene, could not empathize with him or agree with his viewpoint.

But the Fourth Apostle still remembered, in his attempt to understand the enemy, sneaking into the Sulfur Mountain Range’s Mushroom Beast Clan while Lette’s attention was focused on the White Bone Plain.

Once he saw it, he was shocked.

There, the Mushroom Beasts had already established a magnificent city where everyone lived leisurely.

What’s more, terrifying, he saw a group of little Mushroom Beasts sitting in a classroom, reciting a strange book together.

"Heaven’s movement is strong, the fungi strive self-reliantly..."

The Fourth Apostle could swear to the Gate of Truth that what he saw was real.

Even the usually calm Third Apostle clenched his fists: "It seems the situation in the Nether Beach has reached a point where it must be resolved.

If we let this guy continue causing trouble, nobody will have a good outcome.

I suggest we increase our forces and completely destroy him head-on, deciding the victory or loss in one battle!

Let’s leave this issue permanently in the Nether Beach!"

The Third Apostle’s solution resonated with everyone, and they all raised their hands to support the Third Apostle’s plan.

The Second Apostle also enthusiastically raised his hand, clearly liking the proposal.

But the First Apostle, evidently more cunning, gave a sly smile and slowly scanned the conference table with his gaze.

"So, who is willing to resolve the source of all this, the emerging Lette?"

The apostles under his gaze lowered their hands one by one, looked around, and avoided each other’s eyes.

A joke! Even as apostles, they didn’t want to provoke that guy.

What was so special about being an apostle? It’s not like he hasn’t killed one before.

Though current intelligence suggests he’s still a mortal, a regular Holy Light Knight passing by.

But anyone treating him as a mere Holy Knight would surely have lost their mind.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, these life-preserving apostles started devising their own plans.

No choice, Truth Apostles don’t have much room for useless emotions.

Rational to the extreme, each of them is a consummate egoist.

"This matter is of life and death for the Gate of Truth; nobody can escape responsibility."

The First Apostle set the tone for the entire affair.

"However, since no one wants to step forward, we’ll handle it the usual way."

As he spoke, he took a part of his divinity from himself and injected it into a crystal ball.

Seeing this, the other apostles hesitated no more, each extracting a part of their divinity and injecting it in as well.

As more divinity was injected, energy crystals began to form on the surface of the crystal ball, ultimately transforming into a gigantic Godhead!

Soon, a towering God, relying on this Godhead, manifested a Divine Body in the form of an energy body.

Seeing this, the First Apostle revealed a satisfied smile.

"I believe the Titan will give us the answer. You over there, Fourth, the Nether Beach is your domain.

So, you will oversee everything this time.

Don’t worry, this Energy Titan pairs well with your Mechanical Species Favoured."
