"So..."
"Of course, it wasn't that simple." Chen Muye continued, "Contracts capable of binding someone directly at the soul level and affecting their thoughts are incredibly precious. Even the Ancient God Church doesn't possess many of them, and every single one is only used on people they consider valuable and promising.
Moreover, the Ancient God Church's main purpose in recruiting believers is to make up for their shortage of manpower. If they developed believers only to plant them as undercover agents within the Night Watchmen, then in a sense, it would be a waste.

"Speaking of which, Qiye will be heading back to camp tomorrow night." Hong Ying sighed. "The next
