Chapter 426: Chapter 428: Sandbox Data Fluctuations, an Abnormal Existence

“A large-scale Divine Descent, wait, why has my contribution for severing belief reached 10%?”

Qin Muye looked at the intelligence with a strange expression. If there was only one occurrence, he could attribute it to luck or coincidence, but the simultaneous emergence of two was definitely indicative of something happening.

“Master, not only that, but some time ago, there was a data fluctuation in the Abyss Demon Net sandbox, and a priest who desecrated the sacred died.” A Spirit Monster monitoring the Abyss Demon Net sandbox came to remind Qin Muye and also sent over the data fluctuation report.

“Is there a problem with the Abyssal Cult?”

“What’s happening, why is it one piece of bad news after another?”

Qin Muye also felt somewhat helpless about this, as these days he had not been dealing with external affairs at all, focusing entirely on research related to troop buildings.

The project was so immense that Qin Muye had pushed aside all others, even the Divine projects were left to the Spirit Monsters to explore, instead of handling them himself.

As a result, his understanding of the outside world during this period was almost nonexistent. Were it not for a matter as significant as a large-scale Divine Descent involving the server, he might not have even been notified.

Upon opening the data fluctuation report from the Abyss Demon Net sandbox to investigate, Qin Muye acutely sensed something amiss.

At first glance, it appeared to be a simple fluctuation of faith, and quite a significant one at that.

In other words, fanatics had suddenly become unbelievers, which is a normal occurrence, for instance, when belief collapses.

But what was truly abnormal was that after sinking to the depths of faithlessness, there was a rebound, which was really absurd.

It was akin to a regular person chopping off their own head and then reattaching it. If a Spirit Monster did this, Qin Muye would not be surprised, but if a regular person managed to do such a thing, there had to be a problem involved; otherwise, Qin Muye would eat a whole world.

“The techniques of the desecrating priests were used on me, it’s just too bad they are still too immature. How could something I produced not have a backdoor?”

The black hand had actually sent people to investigate the Abyssal Cult’s desecrating priests some time ago and was still observing. Naturally, Qin Muye also called up the corresponding data, which on the surface seemed unproblematic.

However, as a technician, Qin Muye could definitely spot issues within the monitoring data.

“The deceased was the neighbor of the Great Shepherd Leader, who was closely related, yet in the Abyssal Cult, it’s not listed as death, but disappearance?”

Looking at the intelligence passed back by the Spirit Monster spy, it all felt strangely familiar, as if… engineered to disappear?

After all, there were corresponding monitoring systems in the Abyss Demon Net sandbox, and Qin Muye naturally would not just leave it unattended.

“I keep feeling like something’s spiraling out of control, as if it’s due to reaching a tipping point.”

He was certain, whether it was the large-scale Divine Descent or the changes in the Abyssal Cult, that they were definitely related to his contribution towards severing belief reaching 10%.

Severing belief contributions are not like the contributions for the death of gods; the former targets belief, that is, the general public and the entire world, while the latter is more straightforward, simply involving killing, and is likely aimed more at Divines or the Divine Servants or Divine Guards within their Divine Countries.

Moreover, Qin Muye was aware of something else, namely that as the event progressed, it would definitely alter the entire world.

It’s normal for the slightest action to trigger a chain reaction, as the things Qin Muye did target the world level, not just minor troubles in some small village.

Don’t look at it as just one Abyssal Cult and one Abyss Mage, but in reality, it’s an act of pollution and change to the entire world.

It may seem small, but it’s like a virus spreading uncontrollably.

Therefore, it naturally warrants a response from the immune system.

“There’s definitely more at play here than just my doing; there must be other factors involved.”

Perhaps Qin Muye pushed a little, but it was unlikely to yield such a significant chain reaction. Neither the desecrating priests nor the Abyss Mage were nearly capable of such exposure; they were extremely well-disguised.

“Has the Abyssal Cult undergone any special changes or intelligence?” Qin Muye directly inquired with the intelligence department within his territory.

“There haven’t been changes in personnel, but there is a slight change with Sam, the Great Shepherd Leader. A crease resembling a frown line suddenly appeared on his forehead not long ago. Based on our investigation, it appeared suddenly, and the timing of its appearance is currently unclear; therefore, we are conducting a thorough investigation into this matter.”

Soon, the intelligence department sent a detailed report, specifically naming the points of their focused investigation.

Physiological changes can’t be completely hidden, even if Sam wore a hat, but he cannot cover it all the time; his sudden wearing of a hat caught the attention of Spirit Monster spies.

“Interesting, it seems that there’s a problem with this Great Shepherd Leader.” Qin Muye checked the Great Shepherd Leader Sam through the Abyss Demon Net sandbox, and he didn’t find the so-called frown line change.

As for the original frown line, it certainly was there, but it was not the original data.

The Spirit Monster spies naturally also have Sam’s original body data, even in real time, and after comparison, they discovered the absence of this frown line, listing it as an important point of doubt.

Keep in mind that the Spirit Monster spies are also of Rank 6, with perception and observational power that certainly wouldn’t be the same as when they were at Rank 1. They could even tell at a glance something was off with Sam’s frown line.

“What about Porter, has his body been found?” Qin Muye continued to ask.

“No, the current conclusion is that he was most likely disposed of by being fed to something. So much time has passed that it’s no longer possible to find.”

This is normal, in a world with Extraordinary Powers, erasing evidence of death is quite simple, and this world has no means like divination or Heavenly Mechanism calculations and the like.

“But it’s preliminarily confirmed to be the doing of Great Shepherd Leader Sam; he destroyed Porter’s soul and even the rights to the soul’s ownership didn’t take effect. Clearly, he has technology unknown to us, which might be connected to his frown line, but this is something we need to dig further into, perhaps to find the entity hidden behind the scenes.”

The intelligence department didn’t make an immediate move to apprehend him because they knew this was not Divine pushing things along, but rather a more covert existence at play.

What’s more important is that it seems this Great Shepherd Leader has already determined that the Abyss Demon Net sandbox is a tool; of course, he didn’t anticipate that behind this tool, there was the presence of Qin Muye, quietly probing.

So the Spirit Monster spies patiently observed what this Great Shepherd Leader, who had already betrayed the Abyss, was going to do.

“Interesting, let’s just observe for now, and not startle the snake. Even if he is targeting the Abyss Demon Net sandbox, this might be related to some deeper aspects of the server’s worldview,” Qin Muye said with a hint of interest, not because of what the other party was hiding, but because the other was able to maintain rationality and consciously betray himself.

Although these blasphemous priests do not have a direct Thought Steel Seal or mind modification, the contamination of Abyss Power is real; how else could they change their personality and cognition? And yet, after the change, they could break free again, which makes them an excellent subject for experimentation.

Moreover, it looks like the other party has the capability for a large-scale awakening.

“Yes, Master!” The intelligence department responded promptly.

“Interesting as it might be, I don’t like it…” Qin Muye quickly became downhearted; he always felt that the server might explode again.

Before he arrived, the world was quiet and peaceful, with no problems at all.

But after he arrived, all kinds of demons and gods emerged, forcing Qin Muye to turn the world upside down before it would settle.

So far, he had stayed in two servers, and neither ended well; now, the third server seemed to be trending the same way.

Fortunately… the gains were substantial.

“I just hope to find another Server Transfer Token; having only one makes me anxious.” Qin Muye felt helpless; other Lords probably didn’t need Server Transfer Tokens as desperately as he did.

“But a bit of chaos is also good; I just happen to need a slaughter task to upgrade my Territory Rank. As long as it doesn’t lead to a final Reincarnation that directly ends the world, or an odd existence like a high-dimensional Demon, and with this event, I can not only complete the task but also snag a bunch of rewards.”

Qin Muye quickly adjusted his emotions, seeing the benefit within the crisis.

Just like the initial Four Disasters.

“But I must not be careless; otherwise, I could also face a downfall.” Since he knew there was a hidden existence that even he couldn’t find, of course he had to be cautious and vigilant.
