His Highness first used the Nightshade Flower as an analogy to explain the current positioning of the research institute to Qin Ze.
Secondly, he expressed his respect for all the researchers and explained that both sides would benefit from this collaboration.
The Great Cang can resist heresy, and the research institute offers a chance to return home.
Appeal to their emotions and reason with them.
Finally, the Crown Prince expressed his request to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze said calmly, "Slay a god? Are you sure your brain isn't fried and senile?"
The Crown Prince sighed softly and recounted the development of Great Cang and its current situation to Qin Ze.
Hundreds of years ago, the world of the Great Cang Race was also a vibrant place, with all things flourishing.
The world rules were perfectly stable back then, and there was no invasion from heretics.
People live in peace and contentment, and the world is thriving.
Then one day, everything changed.
The world's rules became chaotic and disordered, and heretics emerged from another dimension.
They are like a pack of ravenous beasts, capable of destroying everything in sight.
The world began to be in turmoil from that time onwards, and it was also from that time onwards that people from outside the world began to accidentally wander into this place.
Then the Day God appeared.
He helped Great Cang through the most difficult period.
Faced with the madness of heretics, Great Cang gradually gained a foothold.
The Theocratic Church was born at that time.
They are the Preacher of the Day God, the link between the Great Cang and the gods.
Soon after, the Dark God worshipped by the heretics appeared.
The Day God and the Dark God engaged in a fierce battle, wiping out half the world.
After that battle, neither the Day God nor the Dark God ever appeared again.
The Theocratic Church says that this battle between gods has moved into the shadows, and the Day God has not yet lost.
With the banner of the Day God," the power of the Theocratic Church began to grow steadily.
They recruited skilled individuals within their clan and successfully wrested power from the royal family.
The Theocratic Church views everyone outside of the Great Cang as heretics, including those who have strayed into this world.
Once they discover them, they will hunt them down.
As the monarchy teetered on the brink of collapse, the Great Cang Emperor of that generation began to secretly recruit outsiders from around the world, and the prototype of the Nightshade Research Institute was born.
The rule of using Black Crystal to counteract the fluctuations in the world was the result of the Nightshade Research Institute's research at that time.
As the Nightshade Research Institute grew stronger, the royal family and the Theocratic Church became evenly matched.
Throughout the century of internal strife between the two sides, the heretics never ceased their offensive.
Two-thirds of Great Cang's territory has fallen, leaving it only able to hold onto a small corner.
In the final counterattack of the heretics, the Theocratic Church its doors wide open, making no attempt to defend itself.
The capital city fell, Nightshade Research Institute was destroyed.
The Theocratic Church only stepped forward when the land was Great Cang.
They demonstrated the power of the Day God, instantly annihilating all heretics within the capital, and launched a counterattack, regaining that third of the territory.
From then on, the Theocratic Church enjoyed extremely high prestige among the people.
The surviving royal family was re-established by the church and became a tool for the church to rule the Great Cang.
However, Theocratic Church did not know was that the Spark of Nightshade had been secretly preserved by the High Prince and had been developed for decades.
During this period, the Theocratic Church became aware of the situation, but His Highness was so well hidden that he was never discovered.
After listening to the prince's account, Qin Ze asked, "So you want me to kill that Dark God?"
The prince shook his head. "No, what I want you to do is confront the Day God."
Qin Ze frowned.
The prince explained, "After that battle hundreds of years ago, neither the Day God nor the Black God has appeared again. I suspect that the two gods were both severely injured and perished together."
"If the Day God were still alive, he wouldn't allow the Theocratic Church to act recklessly."
Qin Ze said, "What if all of this is the will of the Day God?"
The Crown Prince said, "Then I can only ask you, senior, to slay the god."
Qin Ze smiled and said, "You're that confident in my abilities?"
The Crown Prince said, " The Nightshade has not been idle all these years; we have created a weapon that can kill gods."
"If the worst-case scenario occurs, all you need to do, senior, is attract the attention of the Day God and hold him off for a moment, then we can kill him with our weapons."
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, "Have you considered that if the Day God dies, who will restrain the Dark God?"
The Crown Prince said, "A weapon capable of piercing the Day God can certainly pierce the Dark God as well."
"In that battle, both sides were either killed or severely injured, which was more than enough to counter the power of the divine weapon."
Seeing Qin Ze remain silent again, the Crown Prince said, "I hope you will give my suggestion a serious consideration."
"You will only have the opportunity to leave when this world order is restored."
"But the prerequisite for the restoration of order is that the two gods must die."
"Senior, you don't want to be imprisoned in this broken world forever, do you?"
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"
The prince lowered his head. "It's not a threat, it's a sincere suggestion."
Qin Ze stood up. "I'll consider it."
The Crown Prince said, "I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible, senior. We really don't have much time left."
Arriving at the rest room set up by the research institute, Qin Ze sat down on the sofa with a flourish.
"Speak up, everyone. Let's hear your thoughts."
Brother Devour said in the Local Area Network, "Don't you guys have this feeling that this world is practically a miniature model of the Abyss, containing all the elements of the Abyss?"
" The Great Cang Race corresponds to the Abyss, the Heretics correspond to the Strange Beasts, the Strangers in the Nightshade Research Institute correspond to the Myriad Races of the Abyss, the Day God corresponds to the Star God, and the Dark God is the Strange God."
The Dharma King also said, " Pretty God corresponds to Pretty God."
Qin Ze nodded.
The moment he saw the Black Crystal, he had a strong sense of déjà vu, just like with the Brother Devour.
"Is it merely for collecting faith...?"
Qin Ze is now almost certain that the balancing beast is being used by one person to play two roles.
It simultaneously plays the roles of both the Dark God and the Day God, reaping the faith of both sides.
Yet it allowed Great Cang to develop unchecked, Nightshade even created a god-slaying weapon.
This so-called god-slaying weapon is probably incapable of harming a true god.
Great Cang's understanding of the gods' power came from the Dark God and the Day God.
The Dark God and the Day God are also Balance Aberrant Beast.
What the prince and the others saw was only Demigod power.
If Qin Ze were the Balance Aberrant Beast, he certainly wouldn't sit idly by and watch Great Cang develop.
Instead, they used "Sophons" to lock down their technology and martial arts, keeping them evenly matched with the heretics.
Only in this way can faith be harvested continuously.
Only when difficulties are constant can one develop unwavering faith in God.
In a winning game, anyone can do it; who would want to rely on external help?
Brother Devour suddenly said, "Is it possible that the Balance Aberrant Beast deliberately allowed Great Cang and Nightshade to develop, because this so-called anti-god weapon is exactly what it needs?"
"The true target of the divine weapon is not the Balance Aberrant Beast, but the Sword Bearer."
