Upon hearing Alice say that the higher-ups of the Beiyin Domain might be colluding with the Deceit God Organization, Lin Tianming and Jiang Han exchanged a look.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Han had previously mentioned it to Lin Tianming at the Heavenly Capital Halloween Amusement Park, telling him to be on his guard.

Now, more than a month later, as Alice brought it up again, it reignited the concern for the master and apprentice pair.

After a moment, Lin Tianming was the first to speak: "Why do you have this suspicion, Alice?"

Faced with Lin Tianming's question, Alice took out a piece of yellow paper stained with Demonic Qi.

"This is what I found at the headquarters of the Genetic Sect. There's writing on it; you can take a look!"

Hearing what Alice said, Lin Tianming immediately turned his attention to the yellow paper stained with Demonic Qi.

Sitting beside Lin Tianming, Jiang Han also leaned in to quietly read the words written on the paper scrap.

"For the great master of the Grey Deep Sea..."

After reading the words, Jiang Han's pupils constricted for an instant.

"This is... referring to the Deceit God worshipped by the Deep Sea Church?"

Lin Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems so. A piece of yellow paper stained with Demonic Qi... and it also has words related to the Deceit God worshipped by the Deep Sea Church... This Genetic Sect may not be simply colluding with the Deceit God Organization!"

Alice listened intently to Lin Tianming's analysis, and as if realizing something, her pretty face immediately revealed an incredulous expression.

"Ming, you... you can't mean... that within the Genetic Sect, there are Deceit God believers from the Deep Sea Church?"

Jiang Han's face also turned grave at this moment.

"If this is true, then all the strange phenomena of these past months can be explained... The Beiyin Domain officials are not just colluding with the Deceit God Organization, but there are also traitors who have become Deceit God believers!

That's why when the Deceit God Organization attacked the Heavenly Capital Halloween Amusement Park, no official power appeared for a whole day, precisely waiting for the moment my beloved student killed the Deceit God believer, in order to come and attempt to silence us!

Furthermore, recently in Heavenly City, people from the Yellow Clothes Church, Deep Sea Church, and Judgement Church have exposed themselves one after another; such easy infiltration of the Beiyin Domain's Overlord Level Awakened power is also related to having traitors!"

Teacher Jiang Han's words were like a sharp knife, deeply piercing into Alice's heart.

[Why is this life like this?]

[Should I not have been reborn?]

[Is it because of my rebirth... that this life's Beiyin Domain colluded with the Deceit God Organization, and even had traitors who worship the Deceit God?]

While Alice was feeling heartache and guilt, Lin Tianming timely grasped her small hand.

"Alice, you're not the traitor, there's no need for you to blame yourself. Right now, the urgent matter is that we have to be extremely cautious to prevent being plotted against by those traitors hiding in the shadows!"

With Lin Tianming's comfort, Alice temporarily set aside thoughts of her rebirth.

She nodded firmly: "Mm, I'll be more vigilant recently, Ming, you be careful too!"

Jiang Han continued to analyze on the side: "Perhaps it's not so simple with just the Genetic Sect. The day they wanted to silence Tianming, it was the Mechanical Sect. Among the Beiyin Domain officials, those who are colluding with the Deceit God Organization or directly worshiping the Deceit God as traitors, may be more than we imagined."

Reminded by Jiang Han, Lin Tianming also fell into a brief contemplation.

After a moment, he turned to Alice and said: "Alice, in dealing with the Demon Gene modification incident, did you discover anything else? For instance, anyone who seemed like a Deceit God believer?"

Faced with this question from Lin Tianming, Alice shook her head with some regret.

"Sorry, Ming, I haven't obtained more relevant information. This piece of yellow paper stained with Demonic Qi was something I found on the floor in a corner while searching the Genetic Sect headquarters, apart from that, I found no other suspicious activities..."

Lin Tianming, who has the ability to secretly listen to thoughts, could be sure that Alice wasn't hiding anything.

In that case, the enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light.

It looks like they have to be even more careful recently in the Beiyin Domain!

"These people from the Deceit God Organization have been stirring up troubles in Heavenly City for over a month, seemingly brewing a conspiracy similar to that in Xiluo Domain Shenwu City. I have a feeling that the closer we get to the end of the competition, the likelier troubles will arise, so we must all stay vigilant!"

Regarding Lin Tianming's view, both Jiang Han and Alice strongly agreed and nodded.

They were already prepared to face a crisis comparable to that in Xiluo Domain Shenwu City.

Having experienced the crisis in Xiluo Domain Shenwu City before, they believed that as long as they continue to work together, they will certainly overcome the difficulty.

...

In the blink of an eye, Lin Tianming was about to have spent two months in the Beiyin Domain.

Today was also the day of the semi-finals.

Ever since it was confirmed that someone from the Beiyin Domain official ranks was colluding with the Deceit God Organization, Lin Tianming had been extremely vigilant these days.

Strangely enough, during this time, the three major Deceit God Organizations that had been causing trouble in the Heavenly Capital from time to time had suddenly fallen silent.

It was as if they had disappeared.

Even so, Lin Tianming still did not let his guard down.

He had a strong premonition that this was the calm before the storm.

It was eerily normal.

After observing the venue for a while and seeing no one who looked like a Deceit God believer, Lin Tianming turned his gaze to the arena.

At this moment, the first match of the day was underway on the stage, and it was reaching a climax where the victor would soon be decided.

The contenders were Alice and Lilith.

Alice maintained absolute Level suppression, dominating Lilith at Level 50 against Level 49.

Even if Lilith gave it her all, triggering even her last trump card, the Dark Shadow Split, she was still overwhelmed by Alice.

Not wanting to entangle meaninglessly with Lilith any longer, Alice directly commanded her Mechanical Doll to launch a finishing move on Lilith.

The tiny figure of the Mechanical Doll spun at high speed, brandishing the silver Mechanical broadsword out of proportion to its stature, sweeping out with the blade.

Under the fierce sweep of the sword's energy, Lilith and all her Avatars were blasted off the stage.

And Lilith's Avatars were smashed to pieces.

Lin Tianming saw this and promptly caught Lilith in time.

"The victor is Alice from our Beiyin Domain, who will advance directly to tomorrow's finals to compete for the first place in this Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition!"

The Beiyin Domain official host also excitedly announced Alice's victory.

The entire venue erupted in excitement.

"I knew it; Beiyin Domain's Alice was sure to make it to the finals!"

"She's too strong. She has been dominating all her matches, the only Level 50 in this competition… She's most likely going to, like the past geniuses from the Beiyin Domain, represent the Beiyin Domain in crushing the contestants from all over the world and claim the championship with overwhelming power!"

"Tomorrow is the finals; even if Jiuzhou's Lin Tianming makes it to the finals, there's probably no time for him to break through Level 50, there's really no one who can beat Alice now!"

Lin Tianming didn't bother with those people who didn't think much of him; instead, he softly asked Lilith.

"Lilith, are you okay?"

"I'm fine… just a bit unwilling… If I were at Level 50..."

Before Lilith could finish expressing her discontent, Lin Tianming leaned in close to Lilith's face, interrupting her.

"It's just a single victory or defeat. Just focus on practicing well when you go back and catch up with Alice soon, don't think too much."

Suddenly being so close to Lin Tianming, Lilith, lying in Lin Tianming's arms, blushed slightly.

When Lin Tianming looked up, she replied with a flushed face, "Mm…"

"Brother Tianming, how long are you going to hold Lilith for? She's not as seriously injured as Lianghua was before; put her down quickly!"

Listening to the jealous tone of Ye Qingxue's words, Lin Tianming coughed and then slowly set Lilith down.

"Ming, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow, don't lose your match against Meng Xiyue."

Alice's reminder came from the arena, and Lin Tianming also looked up at her.

He confidently said, "Of course, I won't lose."

No sooner had Lin Tianming said he would not lose than a voice filled with fighting spirit came from another ring.

"Won't lose? Tianming, even though you and I are both from Jiuzhou, I still feel I have a bigger chance of winning the final match."

The owner of this voice was none other than Lin Tianming's semi-final opponent, Meng Xiyue!

The moment Lin Tianming turned his gaze towards her, Meng Xiyue instantly released her Level aura.

That aura… it was vaguely suppressing Lin Tianming, on par with Alice who had just fought!

She… had she actually broken through to Level 50?
