Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 370 - 367: Internal Strife and External Threats

Chapter 370: Chapter 367: Internal Strife and External Threats

Memories from a past life?

A keyword from Bai Pu’s memory bank flashed through his mind.

[Previously, Xisha Divine Envoy mentioned that the ’Divine Race’ has memories of past lives. Could it be that Shiyi has the bloodline of the Divine Race?]

This thought flitted through Bai Pu’s mind, but he did not voice it.

There was too little understanding of the Divine Race, and it was unclear whether they were foes or allies, righteous or wicked.

Bai Pu discreetly conducted a ’Nine Chapters’ scan on Shiyi, confirming that Shiyi was of the Ordinary Human Race.

Furthermore, judging by Shiyi’s bewildered expression, it seemed they had not awakened any past life memories.

Bai Pu also sent a message to Li Ling, asking her to visit Xicheng Seventeenth Middle School to inquire about Shiyi’s background from the old principal. If Shiyi was truly the principal’s biological granddaughter, the possibility of them being of the Divine Race could basically be excluded.

Rather than believing that a member of the Divine Race appeared on Earth, it was more plausible to believe that Shiyi was a gifted human.

"Gangxin, after Xuan Pin graduates, you will be the captain of the school team."

Principal Cai said, "When you have time, the school intends to hold a simple ceremony for the captain’s succession..."

"I can be the captain, but the ceremony is not necessary."

Bai Pu did not want to waste time and maintained a socially appropriate smile, "Principal, you mentioned a private reward of a B-level ticket for me. Can I claim it later?"

"That’s not a problem. I can buy it anytime." The Principal’s network is broader than Bai Pu’s.

Bai Pu had developed his network through the Youth Cream, but it was still short-lived, and many transactions needed to be completed one by one to confirm mutual trust.

Cai Xiang, the principal, was different. He had taught at many schools, and his former students and subordinates were everywhere in all walks of life.

Bai Pu thanked him and watched the principal leave.

Although it was a reunion with an old friend for Bai Pu and Shiyi, Bai Pu could not find much to talk about.

Shiyi’s smile was consistently awkward, as if they didn’t know where to put their hands and feet before Bai Pu.

Bai Pu noticed this and, after offering a few words of encouragement, left the school.

Leaving Shiyi behind, watching Bai Pu’s departing figure, with words left unsaid.

...

Upon returning to the Xicheng Divine Strategy Army Branch, Bai Pu instructed Li Ling on various matters, such as purchasing Blue Armor and making and selling Youth Cream.

Li Ling was a great help to Bai Pu, acting much like his half-manager.

In Bai Pu’s Storage Space, things that had long been useless, like two Low-level World tickets, one pointing to the Adventure King: World of Departure and another to the Heart Demon: Oath World, were all put up for sale by Li Ling.

Similarly sold were low-end tools and miscellaneous items like [Whetstone].

However, Li Ling’s network had greatly expanded, and her "Energy" within the organization was growing.

According to the rumor mill, Li Ling could be promoted to Captain by next spring.

Even though it was not an exceptional promotion but rather standard, it was still a moderate miracle for Li Ling with no background.

While refining Youth Cream to gain experience, Bai Pu received a letter from Mr. Olsson, the Practical Officer of the Scania Territory.

"It seems it’s not yet the second quarter of territory taxation..."

Bai Pu curiously opened the letter.

It was indeed not a tax report.

Mr. Olsson mentioned in the letter that the situation in Sweden was becoming unfavorable, with the Empress Dowager personally visiting the Scania Territory and specially inviting Marshal Dior Fulri to discuss major plans.

"Is Sister Qin in trouble?"

Blood Spider was slightly overwhelmed, "Let me see if I can purchase a ticket to the Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutant World. I’ll go help her!"

Bai Pu was unaware of when Blood Spider and Qin’s relationship became so close.

What Bai Pu didn’t know was that when Blood Spider was pulled into Thorn Suffering Sanctuary by the Gilder, Qin unhesitatingly grabbed her wrist and was transmitted to the Sanctuary alongside her.

This friendship was something Blood Spider deeply cherished.

Of course, during the subsequent fight against the Gilder, Blood Spider also used the Mystical Arts of Space Cutting to save Qin. With such camaraderie, their close relationship was only natural.

"I’ll go see what’s going on first."

Bai Pu quickly tidied up the real-world affairs and then used the Count’s Badge of the Fu Lei Clan to teleport to the Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutant World.

... 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Dior! What should I do?!"

No sooner had he stepped into Qin’s chamber than she flung herself into Bai Pu’s arms.

"Stop, hold on...this isn’t like you at all."

Bai Pu pushed Qin’s face away, "I’m using the Badge, so my time here is limited. Whatever it is, make it quick."

"As a princess saved by a prince, displaying an appropriate amount of pity, weakness, and helplessness can help evoke a protective instinct in the other person, increasing their sense of achievement."

Qin held a book with no cover, "That’s what it says in the book."

"But you’re not a princess, you’re the princess’s mother."

Bai Pu ignored Qin raising her tiny fist, "So what exactly happened?"

"Remember last time, when your mine was attacked and occupied by a band of foreign bandits?" Qin asked.

"Of course, I remember. I killed the bandit leader and absorbed the agitated lower-level thieves into my ranks," Bai Pu responded.

"Those foreign bandits were instigated. The mastermind’s purpose was to continually harass the southeastern ports of the Sweden Empire, making it impossible for grain ships from the European Continent to land."

Qin had evidently investigated thoroughly, "Currently, the Sweden Empire is in a state of recovery, heavily relying on imports for food and daily necessities. Without the maritime trade route, domestic grain prices skyrocket, and then the mastermind incites the starving people to revolt, aiming to destroy the Vasa Dynasty’s rule!"

"Who is the mastermind?" Bai Pu asked.

"There are too many."

Qin sighed, "During Gustav’s reign, the Blood Ring waged wars everywhere, conquering all of Northern Europe, even subjecting the Slavs’ homeland.

"Now that Gustav is dead and Christina has returned to being a normal human, the Blood Ring Fortress has lost its foundation. Although we’ve retreated from the occupied territories and fully retracted, those once-conquered countries are not satisfied and seem to be poised to strike back."

Bai Pu squinted his eyes and smiled, "There must also be internal difficulties, right?"

"You guessed right. The major nobles domestically were already dissatisfied with my regency, seizing this opportunity to denounce me in unison, with some even suggesting banishment."

After assuming regency, Qin, intending to strengthen central authority, strictly ordered nobles not to retain private armies.

Originally, with the deterrent of the Blood Ring Mutant Legion, this decree had military support, and despite its complex implementation, success was still attainable.

But now, with external threats, internal turmoil has erupted.

Qin pulled out a state letter and handed it to Bai Pu: "This is from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, allied with the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Norway... They demand that Sweden cede a quarter of its territory, revoke Christina’s Empress title, and reclassify the Empire as a Kingdom... That damn newly-appointed Tsar even demands that I marry him!"
