Once, I wanted to be a good person

Demigod.

Anything associated with the word "god" is never simple.

From the attention the Eastern Administrative Region has given to the arrival of a demigod, one can see the Federation's vigilance regarding demigods.

Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, a demigod still secretly descended into the Real World 12 years ago.

Fang Ze knew this incident, once exposed, would likely cause an earthquake within the Federation. The entire Eastern Administrative Region would probably not escape blame and would be held directly accountable by the Federation.

After all, a demigod from the Spirit Realm had lurked in the Real World for a full 12 years without being discovered; nobody knew what he was plotting or what he had done during these 12 years!

Moreover, just the relic of a demigod had, within just ten years, gained control over half of Emerald City.

The Rejuvenation Society, associated with that demigod, had grown in just 12 years to influence the entire Eastern Region, even infiltrating the director of the State Security Bureau (Cui Xuemin's father from Golden Fox).

So, how many other undiscovered agents could there be?

Just the thought of it was enough to send chills down one's spine.....

Besides the information about the demigod's arrival, there were two other things in the Appraisal results that Fang Ze found very strange.

The first thing was that the relic of the demigod was activated by the corpse blood of 108 nobles of the same bloodline.

Fang Ze felt, if he remembered correctly, that in the past fifty years, only one of the three major noble families of Xida State, the Si Family, had experienced such a large-scale death event.

The other noble families, even if they had lost more than 100 people over 40 years, would unlikely have been able to preserve the corpse blood for so long.

That made things interesting.

As everyone knows, the destruction of the Si Family was due to the ludicrous, absurd "Golden Sparrow Flower Incident."

So.... was the "Golden Sparrow Flower Incident" merely a coincidence that conveniently gave Dahei Garo the chance to descend, or was it... itself a conspiracy about the demigod's descent?

If the "Golden Sparrow Flower Incident" itself was a conspiracy, then either there was a traitor in Xida State who deliberately caused the destruction of the Si Family, or... Dahei Garo had tampered with something.....

Fang Ze felt that if he could solve this puzzle, perhaps the real mastermind behind the Si Family's demise could be found.

Aside from the mystery of the Si Family's annihilation, the second thing that Fang Ze found interesting was another statement in the Appraisal results: "A sacrifice involving a noble mother and son, both of whom possess the Dahei Garo bloodline."

Seeing this in the Appraisal results about the missing noble mother and son, Fang Ze could not help but think of the file Bai Zhi had intentionally left behind.

In that file, there was also a pair of a missing mother and son.

Added to that, the file's summary, in the "Black Panther" section, had its origin the same as One-Eyed Buddha.

Fang Ze felt that, if he wasn't wrong, the missing mother and son mentioned in the Appraisal results must be the pair from Bai Zhi's file.

But here's the interesting part.

This pair are nobles. So what's with the Dahei Garo bloodline they allegedly possess?

Aren't nobles supposed to have emerged from that great catastrophe 50 years ago?

Weren't the founders of the noble families the strong survivors from that era?

Then they should be purely human!

Why would they possess a demigod's bloodline?

Adding to that, another organization closely related to Dahei Garo, the Rejuvenation Society, was founded with the purpose: "To unveil the truth behind the disaster 50 years ago."

Fang Ze always felt that he was getting very close to the truths that had been hidden away back then.

He thought that he just needed to conduct a few more investigations, gather some key information, and perhaps he could unlock several secrets that had permeated the history of the Federation....

Thinking this, Fang Ze decided that after he went out tonight, he should call Bai Zhi to his office to thoroughly inquire about the details of the case involving the missing mother and son.

By gathering all the details and clues of the three cases together, he could better understand the mysteries and the situation with Dahei Garo.....

With this thought, Fang Ze suddenly paused.

Wait!

If he wanted to uncover those mysteries and learn about Dahei Garo's situation, why should he ask Bai Zhi?

He should be asking the Flower God!

As a demigod from the Spirit Realm, she must have lived for a long time, right? She surely must know about the disaster 50 years ago?

And, being a demigod like Dahei Garo, they might even be neighbors. Even if not neighbors, she should have heard something!

By just asking her, wouldn't everything become clear?

Moreover, even if she didn't want to tell him about these things, knowing so much, just by broaching the topic with her, he could gather bits and pieces of information, possibly saving a lot of investigation time!

With this thought, Fang Ze no longer hesitated.

He returned his focus to his own body, then began to try communicating with the Flower God, following the feeling she previously used to contact him.

Possibly because the Flower God had always been the one to contact him, and he had often refused to connect with her, when he tried to initiate contact this time, the Flower God seemed a bit hesitant at first.....

It was a whole minute later before Fang Ze felt that the Flower God had established contact with him.

Upon returning to that Spiritual Space, Fang Ze finally saw the Flower God again.

However, the moment he saw her, he was shocked!
