Chapter 173 Planting Mind Bugs, Just In Case
Feeling the power coursing through his body and his star cultivation base returning to Level 99 Revered Constellation, the Star Hall Pope was very convinced by the power shown by Alister.
Furthermore, even the applications and usage of the god-grade Holy Armor star artifact were inherited by the Star Hall Pope as soon as the Holy Armor star artifact was integrated into his soul.
Because of that, the Star Hall Pope's power control wasn't unstable. With the power bestowed by Alister, the Star Hall Pope became a genuine Level 99 Revered Constellation powerhouse again.
For comparison, the Star Hall Pope's current power was equal to the Grand Priest when the Grand Priest was the same age as the Star Hall Pope.
Alister was formerly the holy son of the Star Hall in the previous simulations and due to that, he knew some secrets about the Star Hall.
The Grand Priest was formerly the vessel of the Star God Avatar star artifact. But when a new pope was chosen, the Star God Avatar star artifact would be removed from the previous pope and passed onto the new pope.
Of course, as compensation, the Star God would bestow a god-grade star artifact to the previous pope depending on the request of the previous pope.
It was also one of the reasons why Alister was never interested in becoming the Star Hall Pope. After all, the Star God Avatar star artifact might be powerful, but it was still inferior to his three god-grade star artifacts.
Furthermore, the Star God Avatar was indeed comparable in power to the Spear Of Endless Starry Sky but only when the Spear Of Endless Starry Sky wasn't liberated from the control of the Star God's remnant divinity.
As long as the remnant divinity of the Star God was removed from the Spear Of Endless Starry Sky, the Spear Of Endless Starry Sky would be comparable to the god-grade star artifacts that Alister had in terms of quality.
For that reason, he didn't hesitate to give that to Lynn. But seeing as he would have the ability to create god-grade star artifacts whose quality was at this world's limit, Alister had already planned to upgrade Lynn's Void Dragon Armor to god-grade after he conquered this world and became the World Master.
After bestowing the Star Hall Pope with power, Alister didn't forget to plant a mind bug inside him, "I have already planted a mind bug inside you and you should have also received the information regarding it."
"All of the old top powerhouses of the Star Hall will be planted with a mind bug and it's mandatory. However, you don't have to worry as I won't plant one in the Holy Maiden as well as the rest of the young geniuses of the Star Hall."
"But if I ever notice that you dared to instigate them to rebel against me, then what you will receive won't be as simple as death but eternal damnation!"
Hearing Alister's warning, the Star Hall Pope vigorously nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.
He had already expected this outcome and for him, it was already the best that his daughter and the rest of the young geniuses of the Star Hall wouldn't be affected.
As for rebelling? The Star Hall Pope dared not have such thoughts!
Not only did he receive the star cultivation base of Level 99 Revered Constellation and the god-grade Holy Armor star artifact, but he also received the information regarding the mind bug so he knew how fearsome it was.
Losers in a war would inevitably become the prisoners of war. And for prisoners, most of them would either be enslaved or get executed.
With that mindset, the Star Hall Pope already expected that outcome. And for that to not happen, becoming a vassal force of the Hong Clan was nothing but a small price to pay.
After all, the Star Hall Pope didn't mind getting enslaved if that would allow his daughter as well as the genius of the Star Hall to be exempted from that punishment.
As for instilling thoughts of rebellion to his daughter and those young geniuses? The Star Hall Pope wasn't courageous enough to do that!
In retrospect, the Star Hall Pope dared not betray nor offend the Star God.
And since Alister was an existence whose power had easily obliterated the Star God as well as someone who had restored his power to his peak state, the Star Hall Pope wasn't dumb enough to betray Alister.
He wasn't like those death seekers who found the thrill and excitement in courting death. As he grew older, his sense of responsibility for both the Star Hall and his daughter grew as well. And for that reason, the Star Hall Pope didn't want to die that early.
With all of those reasons superimposed, the Star Hall Pope had already decided to devote himself for the sake of Alister.
The Star Hall Pope was also given information regarding Alister's identity and as usual, Alister introduced himself as Shenhong Zhiye. After all, that was Alister's alias in worlds with an eastern fantasy background.
Having been given some information by Alister, the Star Hall pope asked, "Lord Zhiye, do we wage war against the Crimson Blood Skull Cult first or to other top forces?"
In response, Alister replied, "We deal with the other top forces first. After I forcefully conquer them all, I will bring the leaders of those top forces with me and let them witness my battle with the Blood God's avatar."
"Unlike you who had witnessed my power in killing the Star God, those weak ants wouldn't dare to believe that I have killed the Star God. So I am left with no choice but to conquer them first and show my dominance later."
Hearing Alister's plan, the Star Hall Pope didn't disagree and nodded his head.
Afterward, Alister placed mind bugs inside the minds of the Revered Constellation powerhouses in the Pope Palace.
After dealing with all of the Revered Constellation powerhouses in the Star Hall, Alister brought the Star Hall Pope with him as they returned to the Hong Clan.
