Li Wanye, however, did not remain shocked for too long and quickly accepted the fact.

He was smart, did not publicize the matter, and understood why the stronghold of the holy land was always under a network blockade.

It was to prevent such a secret from leaking out.

So, the people Song Que took away, could it be that they are all non-talents? Or does Song Que know how to strip away talents?

Li Wanye shook his head, vaguely feeling that most of what Tang Xian told him that day might be true.

The outside world, it truly exists.

Therefore, Li Wanye had always refrained from making his stance known regarding the issue with Song Que.

The Li Wanye of today felt somewhat constrained, wandering the ninth level of the holy land stronghold where, apart from the judgement knights, no one else existed.

The deserted ninth level, where all the content on the stele had already vanished. Li Wanye walked the streets, his gaze flickering, as if calculating the words he would speak later, as well as mastering his own attitudes.

At the end of the street stood a young man.

It wasn't the first time that Constantine had contacted Li Wanye, but it was the first face-to-face conversation with him.

"The last person who met with me was also a young man like you."

"Hmm, that was Siren, someone with some ability but far too arrogant and conceited."

"When you think about it, that is quite fitting. He should be dead by now, right?"

"Yes."

Constantine was quite polite to Li Wanye. Li Wanye was very respectful towards Constantine as well.

He pondered in silence for a long time and had calculated much, guessing some of Constantine's intentions.

"I heard from the lord that there were several others who, like you, served 'God'. Now are they..." Li Wanye stopped at just the right moment.

With a faint smile, Constantine said:

"Yes, they're all dead, killed by Eden's spawn, and even those who are alive have turned traitor to that spawn."

"That spawn of Eden really is detestable."

"Detestable? Li Wanye, I doubt your loyalty."

"But I am indeed the most useful person under your command, with the Li family around, many things can be handled without you needing to personally take action. As for loyalty, my lord, I think we both have our own calculations." Li Wanye appeared sincerely anxious, but the meaning in his words did not compromise in the slightest.

Constantine wasn't surprised. The events of the past few days had already shown that the head of the Li family was a man adept in scheming.

"Siren coming for you was probably his biggest blunder. It seems that Eden's spawn told you quite a bit about us."

"He didn't say much, at least he didn't mention your names, but he told me that there is no God in this world. Essentially, you are also just a human. I mean no disrespect, I am simply being very frank with you, I am willing to accept your commands and do some things you deem inconvenient."

The ceiling lights suddenly dimmed.

A flash of caution crossed Constantine's eyes, but then he became indifferent again, saying coldly:

"Do you think I need it?"

"Whether you need it or not is your decision. I am just a servant. To put it unpleasantly, using Eden's spawn's words, I am nothing but an enforcer's dog."

"He described us in the same way, right?"

Constantine became increasingly curious. What exactly had Tang Xian and Li Wanye discussed that day? How far ahead had that man calculated?

The fact was, Tang Xian indeed had calculated everything that needed to be accounted for, and both Siren and himself had been outplayed.

Li Wanye did not deny it. He nodded and said:

"He did describe you few as such, claiming to be gods, yet like groveling dogs, still bearing human identities but eager to shed them. But all of this doesn't matter to me. What I know is, your power is greater than mine, I want to live, want the Li family to survive, so to me, whether God turns into a dog, or I become the dog, or that dog becomes my god, it's all the same."

This convoluted statement was quite interesting as Li Wanye said it.

Constantine was not surprised by Li Wanye's attitude when speaking to him, but somewhat surprised by Li Wanye's excessive frankness.

Indeed, Li Wanye was very frank that day, with no reservations about expressing his inner thoughts and attitudes.

"Such filthy people exist in this world."

"Those who grow up in filth won't die in clean places, but people who've always been clean may not survive in filthy places."

After a pause, Li Wanye said:

"My lord, the hierarchy of the Pyramid is facing unprecedented challenges, I just want to know some truths. I will continue to serve you... can we stop speaking in riddles?"

The ceiling lights brightened once more, and Constantine's face remained calm and indifferent. He scrutinized Li Wanye for a long time before finally saying:

"You really are an old fox."

"Thanks for the compliment. All I ask for is that in any situation in the future, both I and the Li family have a secure environment."

"Have they already agreed to it on the other side?"

"No, they haven't, but my daughter is over there."

"Do you think the spawn of Eden would believe in love?"

"I think that he is first a person, and only second a spawn."

For some reason, that statement made Constantine pause slightly.

"Why haven't you dealt with the matter concerning Song Que?"

"Because you did not ask me to deal with it."
