The next morning.

Black Jack sent Leng Ran a gorgeous dress, but Leng Ran refused it and changed into a set of aristocratic clothes that were both respectable and practical.

The group still chose to meet in the main hall, but unlike before, this time, the other party requested to meet Leng Ran alone. Leng Ran entered the main hall amidst Black Jack's anxious expression.

Leng Ran unceremoniously found a seat and took the initiative to ask, "What brings you all to me?"

The leader, a man in white robes, had nine stars painted on his body, while his two subordinates had five stars painted on their bodies.

The man in the white robe with nine stars said, "Mo Li, I have long admired your name."

Leng Ran raised an eyebrow. "You're investigating me?"

The man in the white robe with nine stars said, "Of course, after all, you gave our research branch a pleasant surprise yesterday, so we naturally dare not underestimate you."

"Hmm? So you're here to settle accounts today?" Leng Ran's tone remained light and composed.

The man in the white robes with nine stars said, "On the contrary, we greatly admire your abilities and would like to invite you to join us. We will give you the most advanced weapons, unimaginable wealth, and unparalleled status, as long as you are willing to become our Holy Prince."

"It sounds tempting, but your invitation is far too insincere. I don't even know who you people are." Leng Ran made a thinking gesture.

The nine-star white-robed man clasped his hands together, as if praying to a deity: "We worship the God of Light."

"In the seven days of the God of Light's descent, the first day creates the universe, the second day gives birth to the planets, the third day awakens his servants, the fourth day sprinkles water, the fifth day shapes humankind, the sixth day bestows evil, and the seventh day grants light."

"Servants bring disaster, but they also bring God's gifts, granting humanity unimaginable abilities and bestowing blessings upon those whom He favors. These people will inherit the power brought by the servants and attain evolution and rebirth!"

"In order to properly receive God's gifts, as God's agents, we need to strip our servants of their abilities to serve us and make supreme sacrifices for the evolution of mankind!"

How could there be a god in this world? You use the power of alien beasts to modify humans, and countless people will suffer as a result, just like that child who died tragically yesterday.

Leng Ran inwardly cursed wildly, but outwardly remained expressionless: "So, your god is really powerful."

The man in the white robe with nine stars said, "Therefore, Mo Li, come and submit to the embrace of my god."

He sighed coldly, feigning helplessness: "Fine, then what does it take to become your Holy Son?"

The man in the white robe with nine stars exclaimed excitedly, "You are indeed a person favored by the God of Light. Please come with me, and the 'divine messenger' will personally answer your questions."

A divine messenger? Is the big boss finally about to appear?

Leng Ran was respectfully invited into the hovercar. Black Jack looked on in disbelief. So, as long as you blow up the other party's research institute, you can be treated with respect? Should he go and challenge them too?

The hovercar was completely enclosed. When Leng Ran got out of the car again, she was already in a parking area inside a huge base.

Yangon, disguised as Mika, perched on Leng Ran's shoulder like a real rabbit, in standby mode, but dared not openly turn on the camera or other recording modes for fear of being discovered.

Because the Illuminati had investigated Leng Ran's purchase records, they did not suspect Yangon and simply scanned him before letting him pass.

Leng Ran was blindfolded and fitted with a mental energy restriction ring. She was taken to a place resembling an interrogation room, where the projection of the divine messenger had been waiting for a long time.

The cold blindfold was removed, and after surveying the surroundings, he saw the divine messenger's projection in front of him. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

Acting is fine in moderation; if you get too carried away and anger the big boss, you might get kicked out.

"Mo Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The divine messenger turned around, and on his robe was printed a golden sun!

He wore an elaborate golden mask and was the sun god's most faithful messenger on earth. His whole body was radiant with holy light, which made Leng Ran feel a little wary.

For the first time, the transparent protective shield in Leng Ran's mental sea rippled, as if reminding Leng Ran to be careful of mental intrusion and to do her best to keep her mind clear.

"May the light be with you." The three white-robed men who brought Leng Ran bowed in unison.

"You may leave now." The divine messenger waved his hand, and the three of them left the room.

"Mo Li, my child, the God of Light has been watching over you for a long time, and you will eventually return to the embrace of the gods. In the time to come, I will test you. You must be honest, for there is no room for lies before the gods."

The divine messenger's feigned benevolent voice sent chills down Leng Ran's spine, as if some kind of magnetic field had been activated.

Alarm bells rang in Leng Ran's mind. Every word from now on had to be carefully considered; the old charlatan might have the ability to detect lies. She couldn't be sure how effective her mental shield was. She couldn't tell a complete lie, but telling the complete truth was a capital offense.

The light behind the divine messenger intensified: "Tell me, child, how did you discover that research institute?"

Leng Ran, mimicking the manner of a charlatan, said very naturally, "Many years ago, a god bestowed upon me a third eye. Anyone who has been looked at by this third eye will never be able to escape my gaze again."

The messenger, still benevolent, asked, "Whom are you looking at? And why them?"

Leng Ran smoothly continued: "Two extraordinary guests, and the god behind them will give me what I want. My talent should not be buried. I am not content to be just a hunter who makes a living by hunting. I want to be seen by the gods. I want to leave the nameless star and become a king revered by all."

The messenger asked, "Child, where are your parents now?"

Leng Ran: "They disappeared many years ago, harassed by strange beasts, their fate unknown."

The messenger asked, "Can you be loyal to others?"

Leng Ran: "I am only loyal to myself."

The messenger nodded in satisfaction: "Are you willing to participate in the selection and become the noble holy son of my Illuminati? From now on, will you call me Father?"

Leng Ran: "If I can get what I want, my answer is, yes."

"Very good!" The holy light surrounding the divine envoy dissipated, and the entire interrogation room darkened. "Mo Li, remember your promise. I look forward to seeing your performance."

In fact, the entire interrogation room is a giant brain-computer interface, which, in conjunction with the divine messenger's powerful mental strength, is used to detect lies.

Leng Ran was then respectfully ushered out. The man in the nine-star white robe draped a purple crescent-shaped white robe over him, put on a pure black mask, and led him to undergo further testing and to have some weapons and equipment custom-made.

"Your Highness, this way please." The white-robed man led the coldly to the room where the members' abilities were being tested. "Your Highness may call upon me, Moore. From now on, I will convey your training plan."

"Moore, did you design my training plan?" Leng Ran asked again.

"Of course not. I am not capable of creating training plans for the future princes. All training tasks are arranged by the Divine Envoy and supervised by High Priestess Meimeng. I am only responsible for relaying the instructions."
