Su Mu's question was not only a question from Li Ziyang, but also a final confirmation.

Although, judging from the facts of the day, it seems that the plot can only be plotted by the Papal States, and the Empire has long been faintly guarded against this.

But even if this is the case, even if Li Ziyang has proved with his actions, the empire will at least not choose to stand on the opposite side of Su Mu.

However, at this moment, what Su Mu still has to know first is:

On the imperial side...... What kind of precautions have been taken?

Since the entire Abyss Exploration itself was part of the Papal States' plan, the Imperial Party, which had been aware of this long before the Abyss, would inevitably prioritize certain preparations.

However, in this situation, when Su Mu suddenly asked Li Ziyang such a straightforward question, Li Ziyang not only did not answer immediately, but looked at Su Mu with a slight gaze, as if he wanted to see a trace of hesitation on Su Mu's face.

After all, before this, there seemed to be only the purest hatred and old grudge between Su Mu and Li Ziyang, and the empire and the federation were already faintly on the same page.

Li Ziyang seemed to be a little incomprehensible, Su Mu was able to choose to believe in the Imperial side in an instant, and directly asked the current question based on his belief.

Fortunately, the hesitation in Li Ziyang's heart was actually only a flash.

Since even Su Mu, as the decision-maker in the federal system, was able to make such a decision in an instant, as the imperial side that guessed the truth earlier, naturally there was no reason to put personal grievances aside.

So the next moment, Li Ziyang finally said with a solemn look in his eyes:

"The Empire didn't really guess more, or until it entered this world, it didn't understand what the Papal States were trying to do?"

Although before the exploration of the abyss began, Yang Zimu had already guessed a certain possibility. But when Yang Zimu guessed that possibility, he had already come to the vicinity of the abyss after all, and had already entered the observation fortress of the Papal State. Naturally, it is impossible to convey more complete information back to the empire as soon as he wants. ”

"So even Yang Zimu could only take advantage of the conflict with you at that time to forcibly leave Qin Wuji outside the abyss...... Trying to use this as a reminder to the Imperial side of the various inconsistencies of this trip to the Abyss!"

......

There is no doubt that Yang Zimu's approach is actually completely the same way of thinking as Su Mu's coercion of the sub-demons to attack the border of the Federation.

Both of them tried to use an obvious anomaly as a way to remind themselves of the kingdom behind them.

But as Li Ziyang said, in fact, even Yang Zimu on the imperial side did not have a specific understanding of the behavior of the Papal States before.

Therefore, whether it is Yang Zimu or Su Mu, the reason why they chose to make such a tortuous reminder is naturally because they can't confirm what the other party's plan is, so they have to make such a vague reminder.

"So...... In fact, before that, even Yang Zimu didn't know the true purpose of the Papal States?"

Su Mu's last question, but the word used was "before that".

Because at this moment, when Su Mu and his party were all forced to enter the Silver Moon World in front of them, and also clearly saw the peace and tranquility of this world.

In fact, the true purpose of the pope is already clear to everyone.

Since the so-called abyssal frenzy is an outright lie, and the Papal States' behavior at this time is to completely isolate the abyssal exploration group from the mainland.

Then their only purpose can only be...... With the help of the Abyss Exploration Group's inability to justify, it directly claimed that the Abyss Exploration Group's unfortunate death once again strengthened the fear that the frenzy was coming.

Therefore, at the same time as Su Mu made the final confirmation, Li Ziyang's gaze also became calm.

Then he looked up at the silver moon in the sky, and then in a solemn and urgent tone, he gently said the most urgent reality:

"The current behavior of the Papal States, since it is to continue to strengthen the rumors about the abyssal frenzy, the deeper fundamental purpose of this act must also be to attract the attention of the entire continent to the abyssal frenzy that does not exist, and then it can be taken by surprise...... Declare war on the whole world!"

......

As Su Mu once thought, the three kingdoms that were already at the pinnacle of the world were actually standing at the highest point of the game.

Whoever wants to go further will become the enemy of the whole world.

In fact, the empire once had such an idea...... Therefore, when Bastião revealed this to Su Mu, he immediately turned Su Mu out of cooperation with the Empire.

It's just that the only thing Su Mu didn't expect, or has not been able to confirm, is:

The man who used to persuade Su Mu to "world stability" is the deepest darkness in this world, and he also has the ambition to subvert the whole world.

......

"Your Majesty, it's time to announce that news!"

The capital of the Papal States, the Grand Sage, was in the residence of Pope Francis XIV.

As one of the cardinals of the highest authority of the Papal States, Bastião personally brought the afternoon tea to the Pope himself.

After announcing the shocking prophecy of the abyss, Pope Francis XIV undoubtedly once again became a sage standing on the cusp of the storm from an old man who had retreated from a half-step to a half-step into seclusion.

If his prophecy really came true, then the name of Francis XIV would also be clearly recorded in the history of the continent, and become the latest in the legend of the miracles of the popes!

Although、None of this can actually happen!

In fact, from the moment Pope Francis XIV ascended the oracle platform, he knew that his name would remain forever in history. It's just that this time, it has nothing to do with the so-called miracles, and it just leaves a despicable infamy.

Because he is known as the spokesman of the gods, but he told a big lie to the whole world.

And the arrival of Bastião at this time indicates that Francis XIV, as the Pope, will once again add fuel to the fire of that lie, and continue to tell a newer and more shocking lie.

However, since Francis XIV chose to accept all this from the beginning, he naturally would not raise any objections at such a time.

At this time, Francis XIV just drank the cup of black tea in his hand calmly, as if he was doing an extremely important thing, and slowly drank the tea soup in his mouth with great reverence.

Then he stood up slightly, and as he marched in the direction of the oracle platform, he confirmed to Bastien for the last time without looking back:

"All the arrangements...... Are you all ready?"
