Instantly Slaying a Dominator: The Power of the Sacrificial God Scepter [5.5k]
If the game's story had developed without any unexpected twists, Bai Fu estimated that even if the Apostle Holy City managed to find the Spiritual Temple, it wouldn't happen until after the 3.0 expansion.
However, under her influence, the game's story had already veered far from the direction the developers had originally envisioned in the trailer.
The civil war in the Taim Civilization could end early.
The Ten Saints Association could be beaten into a hasty retreat before it even had a chance to get arrogant.
So it was entirely possible that the Apostle Holy City might find the Spiritual Temple early through some twist of fate.
To prevent that from happening, Bai Fu found Xiphris as soon as she had some free time and patiently explained why she'd come.
"The stars are vast. Trying to find the Spiritual Temple in this boundless cosmos using short-range detection methods is like searching for a needle in a haystack. But what if the Dark Domain Insectoid Empress who betrayed you is worried about your revenge and reaches out to people from the Apostle Holy City first, then reveals the secret of the Spiritual Temple to them?"
Bai Fu looked grave.
Seeing how serious she was, Xiphris began to feel a little uneasy too.
If that traitor really had defected to the Apostle Holy City—or one of the other two Three Universal Civilizations—then getting revenge would be difficult.
She had to take the traitor down before that happened.
But if she told Bai Fu the location of the Spiritual Temple now, wouldn't she be giving up her only leverage? Bai Fu could manipulate her however she pleased.
Well...
Given Bai Fu's current strength, she could already manipulate her however she pleased.
