The Three Great Demonic Sects? Chu Zhu was unaware that these three were actually demonic sects that controlled extraordinary powers...

Because in his understanding, and in the official definition of the past—these three religions were collectively referred to as the Shoe Religion!

"I didn't touch you in the main timeline, yet you've come to provoke me?" Chu Zhu muttered to himself. They've turned against the Heavenly Gang!
He gritted his teeth expressionlessly, the poison spreading in his mouth before he swallowed it.

There was no pain, nor did it cause any violent reactions in his internal organs... After all, this poison was carefully selected by Chu Zhu! At this moment, he could only feel his body gradually becoming weak and powerless.

"What... wait a minute!" Ning Linglong's expression suddenly changed drastically. She stepped forward and grabbed Chu Zhu's wrist, scrutinizing Chu Zhu's face. "Why is your face so pale... wait, are you poisoned? When, when did that enemy make their move... damn it, why didn't I notice at all?"

"Impossible!" Li Kang's expression changed as well. He rushed forward and touched the down jacket. "It wasn't broken. You couldn't have been cut or stabbed... That's breathing? But why are we fine..."

Neither of them had expected that Chu Zhu had committed suicide, so no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Ning Linglong's face turned visibly red. After a brief silence, the brilliant light on her forehead shone again, illuminating almost her entire skull and spreading in all directions.

"Wait! If you overwork yourself like this..." Li Kang exclaimed.

"...Good heavens!" Chu Zhu's last thought was that Ning Linglong had truly lost her guard and gone out of control this time...

Because he could even hear the neighbors talking in horror.

"What happened? What's with this light?!"

"Could it be...could it be a paranormal event?"

"Nonsense! Something must have gone wrong. Yes, did something explode?"

Good heavens, has Ning Linglong completely abandoned the principle of secrecy?
Well, although it can be remedied later by erasing memories, the effort required is... tsk!

Chu Zhu's vision went black, and he lost his sense of touch. He felt as if someone was carrying him. It was as if someone was telling him to hold on?

then……

Everything is turning around!

……

Suddenly, the light before my eyes intensified.

Chu Zhu narrowed her eyes and looked around. The familiar base! The familiar movie.

As usual, turn off the movie, clear the background, and confirm the time is exactly six o'clock!

Then, call Li Kang, go to the labor union headquarters, quell the unrest, and issue a martial law order.

After resolving everything, before Li Kang could even come looking for him, he called Li Kang again and asked him to state his request when he contacted his superior.

Moreover, having already experienced this once, Chu Zhu processed the plot at an extremely fast pace this time. This directly resulted in the meeting time being changed from 2:30 PM to 10:00 AM.

……

Half past ten.

Chu Zhu walked out of the government hall. He looked up at the sun, which was high in the sky and blazing hot. He stretched out his palm towards the sun, and the shadow of his palm fell on his eye sockets.

This……

This is what Li Kang, Ning Linglong, Guan Fei, Bi Xuan and others saw when they came out.

"...This...this is too strong!" Bi Xuan silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Even now, recalling everything that had happened, he still felt a sense of disorientation. Although Bi Xuan had experienced everything that happened this morning, he still couldn't quite grasp what had occurred—

It was as if he had become a puppet on strings, only able to carry out the orders given by Chu Zhu.

What Bi Xuan remembered most vividly was that not long ago, Chu Zhu had called Li Kang, clearly describing the current situation and her negotiation conditions, and stating with great certainty that an incredibly high-ranking leader would soon be communicating directly with him—

Moreover, Chu Zhu said directly that the big boss would definitely agree to his conditions! If he agreed, there would be no need to call him again—in fact, this call even set the meeting time!
In the end, it was proven that Chu Zhu had not miscalculated a single step.

Outrageous!

Are you actually a prophet?!

In fact, it wasn't just Bi Xuan; Ning Linglong felt the same way.

Guan Fei remained calm. As a die-hard fan of Mr. Zhu, he considered everything Chu Zhu did normal. As for Li Kang…

"The charlatan is at it again!" Li Kang sighed. "Although I've experienced this many times before, no matter how many times I've seen it..."

I would feel genuinely shocked and in awe!

“However, I haven’t seen A-Zhu so serious in a long time… Well, that makes sense,” Li Kang quickly came to terms with it. “It would be strange if this didn’t provoke A-Zhu, wouldn’t it?”

“Um…” Ning Linglong hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.

"I don't have time to eat with Brother Ning today. We'll have a working lunch later! Just consider it a successful blind date and go back to report." Chu Zhu continued to defend herself.

Ning Linglong: "..."

She choked.

"Oh, right!" Chu Zhu suddenly thought of something and said leisurely, "As the saying goes, 'The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name.'"

Chu Zhu didn't directly ask what the other person meant; she simply stated the sentence. Then, she focused on observing Ning Linglong's expression.

He could clearly sense the surprise, astonishment, confusion, and doubt on the other person's face.

Li Kang's pupils widened first, then he said, "You're a member of the Natural Taoism? No, when did you join? I don't know about it."

"? Natural Taoism, you mean Taoism, right?" Chu Zhu frowned. This dream world where religion flourished couldn't possibly have only one religion—the God-Worshipping Society.

As far as Chu Zhu knew, most religions in the real world probably existed here as well, such as Taoism, Buddhism, and even more absurdly, Confucianism became the religion in the dream world...

There are also some real-world teachings that can be traced back to the Warring States period, the time of the Hundred Schools of Thought, composed of the names of the Hundred Schools of Thought—

What about the Agricultural and Medical Sect, the Mohist Sect! Even the three major sects that Li Kang knew from the previous timeline—the Joyous Union Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Omnipotent Sect.

However, apart from the three major sects of Hehuan, Wudu, and Quanneng, all other sects are officially referred to as orthodox sects!

"You didn't know?" Ning Linglong reacted, somewhat bewildered. "Then how do you know this sentence... Could it be that someone from the Natural Taoism sect has had contact with you and mentioned this to you?"

"Yes, that's true!" Chu Zhu nodded. Ning Linglong seemed to be a follower of Taoism, so it was clear that she had been in contact with him and had mentioned this to him.
"...That's okay."

Chu Zhu continued to ask, "So, what exactly is the situation with Taoism?"
