No one knew that, at this very moment, the Zheming Society had been completely transformed.
It had officially changed from an academic organization and progressive political faction into an academic organization and comprador force.
The process had been far simpler and smoother than Wang Qi and Kelik had imagined. Wang Qi had even thought it would stir up a wave of opposition within the Zheming Society.
But in reality, after nothing more than a meeting, the Zheming Society had united once again.
Under Gandonggon's intervention and with the humans' input, the Zheming Society had redrawn its policies. They would more actively recruit talented members of the Ming Clan, then secretly send them over to the humans.
In addition, they would withdraw from the struggle for power against the Light King and the Judgment Hall.
To them, the internal politics of the Ming Clan no longer mattered. Whether the Light King's orders were carried out without fail or the Judgment Hall completely controlled the Ming Clan's morality was none of their concern.
In the past, the Zheming Society had still pursued the principle that "spreading knowledge is not a crime."
But now, they no longer cared about that claim either.
Spreading knowledge was a crime? Fine, then it was a crime.
In any case, any Ming who truly wished to pursue knowledge and the Great Dao would not remain on this planet for long.
So what was there to fear?
Not only that, while abandoning their public political platform, the Zheming Society would also spread its knowledge in secret.
To ordinary Ming, this was sheer stupidity. They refused to walk the broad and upright road of light, insisting instead on these ghostly, underhanded tricks. It was practically throwing away their own advantage and handing their weakness directly to the Judgment Hall.
