Theoretically speaking, a perfect civilization of bees should not have an insurrection.
But the perfection of ‘never betray’ was based on two prerequisites.
Firstly, the ‘mastermind’ of the honeycomb civilization must boast infinite computational ability. It must be able to observe, control, and calculate everything within the range of the civilization, from the direction of the entire civilization to the emergencies that every ‘worker bee’ and ‘soldier bee’
encountered, as well as the subtle waves deep inside their brain. The ‘mastermind’ must discover and deal with all of them.
Secondly, even if the mainframe possessed computational ability as vast as the ocean, it would still have to have a set of interconnected, complicated, and absolutely stable neural networks without any delay in order to transmit its will to all the nerve endings of the entire civilization in time for the
‘worker bees’ and the ‘soldier bees’ to carry out the task.
If the connection between the mainframe and the queen bee was cut off for a long time for some reason, nobody would know what would happen to the ‘worker bees’ and what they would do when they lost the guidance of the mainframe.
Unfortunately, in the boundless universe, neither of the two prerequisites were available for the main brains of the Sanctuary.
First of all, no matter how good their computational ability was, it could not surpass the category of the intelligent life on the carbon basis. At best, it was close to the level of the Pangu Clan in the primeval era. But even the Pangu Clan was far from having absolute control over the entire Pangu Universe,
not to mention the masters in front of them who were like monkeys in a hat.
The greatest Cultivators were human beings after all, not gods. It was beyond their limits to think about the development of an entire civilization and fight against the enormous imperium.
Secondly, the cosmic storms were treated equally and posed fatal threats to the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance, which was most dependent on the network and most affected by the cosmic storms.
It was not unusual for some remote resource planets to lose contact with the star fortresses where the five supreme masters were located for more than a year because of the cosmic storms.
If they encountered complicated anomalies or were targeted by extraterrestrial devils during their isolation, the entire planet might be corrupted, and a lot of devils and heretics would appear.
In short, it was like the Great Dao of Cultivation that the Imperium of True Human Beings believed in. If it was perfect in theory, it was indeed possible to build a prosperous nation and lead the civilization of mankind to a new peak. But in fact, such a perfect condition was simply impossible.
The so-called ‘harmonious, efficient, and absolutely loyal’ of the Holy Accord Alliance was just a high tower made of sand. It looked beautiful, but it could not withstand the impact of reality.
For this reason, the special profession of ‘Inspector Saint’ came into being.
The so-called Saint Patrollers were a special class of priests of a very high level in the Sanctuary. Different from the ordinary priests who were stationed in fixed temples, the Saint Patrollers boasted a powerful fleet that patrolled the remote planets on the periphery of the Sanctuary, especially those that
had been cut off from the mothership of the Grand Supreme Master for a long time due to the interference of cosmic storms or wars.
Their main duty was to patrol the place and check whether or not the ‘soldier bees’ and the ‘worker bees’ were still pure and whether or not they had been corrupted by the extraterrestrial devils and turned into evil monsters when they lost contact with the mainframe.
If there were, the Saint Patrollers would carry out a large-scale purge in the area. At that time, not only would the fleet under his command and the regular army nearby known as the ‘God Blessers’, as well as the purifiers and cleaners under the Heresy Interrogation Bureau, put down the tasks at hand
and follow the orders of the Saint Patrollers. Purging the devils would be their top priority.
Allin all, the Saint Patrollers could be understood as the incarnations of the five supreme masters. Most of the time, the Saint Patrollers bestowed thunder and fire upon the polluted planets in accordance with the will of the supreme masters. Needless to say, their strength and power were
unquestionable.
All this time, the Heresy Interrogation Bureau had been in charge of the pivot, and the system of patrolling had maintained the stability of the Sanctuary.
There was only one minor problem.
‘What if an Orb Patroller was corrupted by the extraterrestrial devils and betrayed their master, turning into a ‘heresy?
‘Chu Zhiling’ was one of them. The fallen Saint’s Inspector.
To be able to become the most trusted Saint Patroller of the Supreme Master, needless to say, her birth and experience must be 100% flawless.
However, it was not enough to save her from the mental corruption and depression when she was cruising on the most desolate, darkest, and most desperate planets at the edge of the Sanctuary.
At that time, the ‘Battle of Black Wind’ between the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation had already begun. In order to march into the heartland of the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation had drained the resources of several Sectors in the periphery. It was estimated that every
resource planet in those worlds would lose their value for subsequent development within the next hundred years.
Therefore, the ‘abandoned plan’ was implemented to seal the worlds temporarily.
Because of the limited capacity, a lot of carriers were supporting the frontline. Therefore, except for the few useful technicians and priests, most of the local farmers and miners had been abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the exhausted planet.
Maybe it was the misery beyond description that dealt a fatal blow to Chu Ling’s mental defense line. In short, she had ‘fallen’ or ‘awakened’. From being the most loyal minion of the Great Master, she had been reduced to the most dangerous ‘heresy’ in the past thousand years of the Sanctuary and the
founder of ‘God’s Heart Society’!
She did not seek refuge in the arms of the extraterrestrial devils. She was still loyal to the gods, but the ideology that she had been developing was a hundred times more evil than the bewitchment of the extraterrestrial devils.
“We are the children of the gods. The gods sleep in every one of our hearts. Our hearts are our hearts. Listen to the voice inside your heart carefully. It is the will of the gods!
“In fact, every one of us has the ability to communicate with the gods directly. However, a long time ago, the extraterrestrial devils corrupted the ability and blocked our free communication with the gods. They even pretended to be the envoys of the gods to confuse our hearts and our will, making us
forget the real gods and worship the sanctimonious extraterrestrial devils instead!
“In my way, through training and meditation, there is no need for the class of priests at all. Everybody can communicate with the gods directly and listen to their will while they bask in the brilliance of the gods!
“On the other hand, since we are all lambs of the gods and all are equal, why can the priests and the sages communicate with the gods if we cannot?
“I, Chu Zhiling, the former Holy Inspector, grasped the ability to communicate with the gods directly by accident and saw the spirits of the gods in person and listened to the voice of the real gods!
“The real god told me everything. He told me that the so-called ‘supreme master’ was just a disguise of the extraterrestrial devils. We should stop being fooled by the false messengers and start the real training and meditation. We should hear the voice of the god and see the arrangements of the god. Also,
we should fight against the so-called priests and the so-called ‘supreme master—these goddamn impostors, polluters, and blasphemers—to the end!
This was Spirit Chu’s declaration.
It was also the purpose of the Heart of God.
It was not hard to imagine how heavy a blow such a declaration and such a foreign society would be to the framework of the Holy Alliance under the control of the five greatest masters.
However, in the beginning, Chu Zhiling had covered everything up with her identity as an Orb Patroller, and she had been patrolling a remote planet in the frontier where transportation and communication were extremely inconvenient. The great sages had been too focused on the ‘Battle of Black Wind’ to
notice anything wrong.
When they discovered it, the sparks of ‘God’s Heart’ were already burning furiously and spreading on hundreds of planets and countless starships in dozens of Sectors.
There was no doubt that the God’s Heart Society had become a more formidable enemy than the Imperium of True Human Beings.
As a result, although they had secured a satisfying victory in the ‘Battle of Black Wind’, they were not able to press forward and pierce through the most prosperous and softest part of the imperium.
Instead, he summoned a lot of soldiers and computational ability to extinguish the flames of rebellion and the ‘heresy’ named Chu Zhiling!
Chu Zhiling’s ideology of ‘belief in one’s heart and self-awareness’ was very tempting, but it was not enough to compete with the ultimate wisdom that had governed the Sanctuary for a thousand years.
At that time, the imperium had been so corrupt and incompetent that it had failed to gather such important intelligence. As a result, it had missed the great opportunity to join hands with the God’s Heart Association and launch a pincer attack.
Of course, even if the Immortal Cultivators wanted to communicate with the God’s Heart Association, it was still unknown whether or not Spirit Chu, who claimed to be the rightful heir of a true god, would conspire with the Imperium of True Human Beings.
Allin all, under the sole leadership of Chu Ling, although the rebellion of the Heart of God was quite a big deal, it was inevitable that it would be blown to smithereens when the fleet of the Sanctuary Alliance was summoned back from the frontline.
Even Chu Zhiling herself had perished in the final battle.
Although her soul and body had been obliterated, it was not to be forgotten that she had once been the most trusted Saint Patroller of the Great Sage. Therefore, hundreds of samples of her hair, blood, skin, and even organs were kept in the gene bank deep inside the Sanctuary. The information about her
genetic provider and her blood relative was complete, too.
The gene samples became the experiment subjects of the ‘Devil’s Child Project in the beginning. The biologists and brain experts of the Holy Alliance created countless brothers, sisters, and descendants of Chu Ling, such as Zhou Xiuyun and Chu Zhiyun. With the help of the ‘devil’s children’, they analyzed
the reason why Chu Ling lost control…
