To be honest, Lin Ruo wasn't that averse to asking the True Creator for help.
After all, as the saying goes, too many debts are no burden, too many lice are no itch. Even without mentioning his years as a Angel of Judgment, just now, Lin Ruo had already taken over the Aurora Order's Backlund branch, and had freeloaded off Medici, a follower of the True Creator, countless times. He truly didn't mind asking the True Creator for help again to save people and avoid future troubles.
What? He had previously said he would never ask True Creator for help?
Just understand the phrase "true fragrance."
Anyway, Lin Ruo wouldn't blush about it, and he wasn't afraid of directly contacting the True Creator—after all, given his situation, if the True Creator really wanted to do something to him, He wouldn't need to wait for him to chant His honorific name.
Lin Ruo was just a little conflicted, a kind of… affectedness, if it had to be explained?
"Tsk, why does it feel like a rebellious son who ran away from home in a fit of pique, only to encounter difficulties and have no choice but to ask his old father at home for help… How annoying!" Lin Ruo muttered jokingly in his heart, but he had made up his mind.
Although there was some conflict and awkwardness, this level of affectedness could not outweigh the importance of the people of City of Silver who were about to die tragically, and the troubles Amon might bring, in his mind.
He certainly couldn't save everyone in City of Silver, but he also couldn't stand by and do nothing when there was a way, just because of a little affectedness.
After making up his mind, Lin Ruo began to think about how to solve this matter if the True Creator was willing to intervene—yes, solve.
Because Lin Ruo was actually very skeptical about whether the pollution in the original work was caused by the True Creator glancing at someone exploring His temple, or by the inherent True Creator pollution within the temple itself.
These two sound similar, but their essence is different—take the True Creator's normal believers, Lin Ruo had seen many, but whether it was Mr. A and others he had come into contact with, or Elder Lovia described in the original work, they were clearly in a state where, although a little crazy, they could barely be considered normal people. At least their bodies hadn't mutated.
Their mental state might be defined as semi-mad, but they were clearly different from those polluted people in City of Silver in the original work.
Those polluted people's changes were not only in their mental state, but their bodies even underwent certain mutations, completely earning them the title of monsters.
—If it was the former situation, then Lin Ruo could try to greet the True Creator and ask Him to spare the people of City of Silver.
But if it was the latter, things would actually become troublesome. This couldn't be solved by the True Creator simply not polluting those team members, after all, the True Creator Himself might not be able to interfere with the residual pollution in the Forsaken Land of the Gods before it polluted others.
Otherwise, why would Klein play so many tricks with the True Creator's pollution in the original work?
As for why Elder Lovia's situation was different, it might be that there wasn't severe pollution in the upper levels of the temple, so Elder Lovia initially only established contact with the True Creator through it. Later, when exploring the lower levels, perhaps due to her strength, or perhaps because she was already a True Creator believer, she avoided being polluted into a monster.
This could also explain why, in the original work, Elder Lovia clearly hadn't betrayed City of Silver, and clearly witnessed the pollution brought by the True Creator, yet still believed that the True Creator could bring salvation to City of Silver.
Because in her opinion, polluting the team members was not the True Creator's will, but just an unfortunate accident.
The Lord she chose was not wrong.
"If it's truly the second situation… first ask the True Creator if He can directly avoid the pollution. If not, perhaps I should start with Elder Lovia?" Lin Ruo lowered his eyes, concealing the slight flicker in his gaze.
Little Sun Derrick indeed had little say, but Elder Lovia, as an Elder of City of Silver, was different.
If she stated before the operation that the True Creator's temple was too dangerous and unsuitable for further exploration, then City of Silver would most likely seriously consider it.
As for how to persuade Lovia—the True Creator's oracle was the best way to explain it, and Lin Ruo himself also held the title of a True Creator Blessed!
Considering the Shepherd lady's true character, Lin Ruo didn't even think she would lead the team members there knowing they would be polluted into monsters.
It was highly possible that Lovia herself hadn't anticipated the severe pollution in the lower levels of the temple. If she had known this, perhaps she wouldn't even need the True Creator's oracle; she herself would apply to cancel this exploration.
And…
"Not just this incident, if I establish contact with Lovia, perhaps I can also use her to secretly promote Little Sun… Tsk, Little Sun's influence in City of Silver also needs to be strengthened as soon as possible. I need to urge Frank; the mushrooms must be made quickly…" Lin Ruo analyzed in his heart, exhaling silently.
To strengthen Little Sun Derrick's influence in City of Silver and avoid situations like today, it was nothing more than improving his Sequence and having him make sufficient contributions to City of Silver, and so on.
The former depended on Little Sun himself. Although Lin Ruo could provide him with subsequent Beyonder formulas, and even package and sell him the characteristics, he himself was not a cheat, so he couldn't become a demigod in one second.
As for the latter, to make a huge contribution to City of Silver… Lin Ruo thought it over and over, feeling that compared to other things he couldn't do at the moment, it was more practical to quickly sort out the mushroom matter and let the people of City of Silver eat well.
If Little Sun could produce mushrooms and improve the diet of City of Silver's people, it would not only boost his own contributions but also give Mr. The Fool a relatively good first impression of the Chief—this matter was even more than just improving the diet, after all, if the mushrooms invented by Frank could serve as a staple food, perhaps City of Silver would no longer have to suffer the "Gift of the Land."
But how to tell Little Sun… Lin Ruo thought for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the other members of the Tarot Club. At this moment, almost everyone was silent, as Little Sun's matter was truly difficult to handle. Except for The Hanged Man Alger, who was an old hand and had already conceived an emergency evacuation plan similar to the original work in his heart, most of the others' minds were blank.
Lin Ruo looked at Little Sun Derrick again, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke solemnly: "Mr. Sun, I might be able to solve this matter."
What?
Everyone was startled, and only Fool Klein was somewhat enlightened after the initial surprise, as Fool Klein knew about the relationship between Lin Ruo and the True Creator.
Regarding matters concerning the True Creator, others might be at a loss, but he might not.
Chariot can solve this matter? Where did he get such confidence?
The Hanged Man Alger, who had originally prepared to first ask about the temple's intelligence and then teach Little Sun how to avoid this mission, immediately looked at Lin Ruo with surprise and uncertainty.
He truly didn't understand how Chariot was going to solve this matter.
Not only him, but the others also didn't quite understand. For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Ruo.
"Mr. Chariot, what are you planning to do… I mean, what should I do?" Little Sun Derrick asked, both surprised and slightly excited.
"You don't need to do anything for now, wait for my notification later…" Lin Ruo said, then paused, and still said: "I will tell His Excellence Angel of Judgement about this matter. He will not ignore matters concerning the Fallen Creator."
