Arc gave all the instructions that needed to be given and left the court after sending the rest.
He walked back to a room, where Vickers was waiting.
As Arc sat down, Vickers asked.
"Do you really need to make this much fuss? You already said that you have already captured twenty-one of them, so what can the other four do. You have stopped the majority. I think you overreacted a little. Even if the other countries did not identify this and the war actually started, the chances of all coming to the western continent to attack were extremely low.
They have to traverse the six major powers if they want to visit our continent because there is no space gate that directly connects the four continents and the empire."
Arc was silent for a moment and said.
"I know all that, but I feel a bad feeling about this. If by any chance their hidden boss is strong enough to get his hands on him, at the one-way space gate, you know what's going to happen.
If all the information I got was correct and the four people I had not captured secretly could make more followers, they themselves could turn into Transcendent stage cultivators.
Of course, the possibilities are very small, but that doesn't mean there are no possibilities at all."
"Okay, do your job. What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to stay in the imperial capital for now. I will go to the thunder god temple tomorrow morning, I have two goals, one of which is to meet with the temple chief and explain the situation and the other is looking for information about Sam. .
I believe he can find a way to make some security measures."
After discussing some more details, the two left the room.
The next morning, the first Arc goes to Moriya's room who is currently looking for a list of possible candidates.
He has done the same since he came here and he has repeated the procedure several times, but it seems he does not feel bored or unproductive doing that.
"Moriya, I want to make an appointment with the temple chief."
He got to the point as soon as he entered the room.
"Why are you asking me? As an emperor, you can make an appointment once a year and from what I know, you haven't used your chance for this year."
"I know that, but it took me at least a week to meet the head of the temple. I don't have much time."
"Can you tell me what the problem is? I'll see what I can do if the problem is really serious."
Then Arc went on to explain everything to Moriya, who became serious after hearing that.
"You know that you will suffer serious consequences if you turn out to be lying, right? This is not something to joke about. You better confirm it three times before you bring this info to the temple head."
“In fact, I've prepared enough evidence. I let one of them live and haven't let out his soul. I think the thunder god temple will definitely have someone who can see his memories. So, I want you to confirm that yourself.
Moreover, there were pills that they brought and someone even brought some followers just to get information.
I'll take them all to the Thunder God Temple and you can take action only after you confirm it."
After which, the two left that place and entered the outer space gate and went to the thunder god temple.
Moriya, carrying the Arc as they entered the other Space gates on the Space Gate island and went straight to the core region of the temple, where the temple chief was located.
No one stopped him as he walked into the Temple Head's private room directly. Arc waited outside the door until Moriya called out to him.
As for the prisoners they brought, they were not allowed to the core region and were held inside the Space Gate Island.
After half an hour, Arc was allowed to enter and he was able to meet with the temple chief.
He explained every detail and the temple chief thought hard.
"Where are the pills you collected from them?"
Arc passed through several pill bottles. The temple chief saw the pill and kissed it. He frowned afterwards as if he smelled something disgusting.
He gave the pill to Moriya and said. Give some to our private pill refining section and send some to the Pharmaceutical tower. Have the two analyze the contents of the pill, I need results as soon as possible."
He then turned towards Arc and said.
"Thank you sir."
Arc left with those words.
"Send them captives for interrogation and examine the bodies of their followers. Try to get every detail they might get. No matter how minute it is, you should get that information.
Send an Invitation to the Great Elder for a meeting. We have to talk about this and see if the other two countries have the same scenario."
The head of the temple gave this order to Moriya and thought hard.
Moriya went and executed every command.
After half a day, all the results came out, the followers were interrogated first and they seemed to have no common sense. No matter what question they asked there was not a single normal response.
All they talk about is that the nonsense of being a church follower is the only truth and the church is the only thing that gives them justice. Some of them don't even remember their own names.
Their body condition was also strange, they were unable to find the spiritual core, but the muscle, skin and bone fibers were all trying to absorb the spiritual energy and they became extremely dense.
The process is still running. And there was a vitality that had accumulated continuously in their system from the surroundings.
After which, they finally tried to extract the memories from the soul and the results they got shocked them. Most of their memories seem to have been completely lost. One of the followers they extracted was forty years old and all the memories he had were the memories of the past few days before he joined the church.
The few days in which he was normal, except for those few days' daily routines, not a single one of his memories was normal.
All the memories, about his childhood, adolescence and his youth were all gone and in their place there was only one thing that filled their minds.
Churches.
All this time they were thinking only of the church and the pastor.
The same thing happens with other followers.
The memories of the Priest were clear for them to see and they could confirm what Arc had said about everything.
As for the pills, that's where the results are not positive.
They got some results on the composition and both the temple and tower pill purifiers found almost all of the pill components except the three unknown components which they did not know how to identify as they dissolved in the remains the material.
After obtaining all of these results, the temple chief and the two great elders both held a meeting and examined it closely.
"From the information we got, everything Arc said seemed to be true, but what should we do with this situation and how should we go further?" The First Grand Elder asked the temple chief.
"I think we have to verify first whether this is actually the case in other countries, because we cannot verify states in other jurisdictions, he said, we can only verify in two countries that are under our jurisdiction.
The two of you will visit every country just in case.
Although, it was hard to believe that the Transcendent would be taken for granted, it was better to be safe than sorry.
After you return, we'll see if we have to go further and ask other major countries to confirm whether it's the same for them or not."
With that the meeting ended.
Meanwhile, within the Usaine Sect.
After the emperor of the Eastern continent explained the situation, there was an extreme debate going on within the upper echelon of the sect.
Some of them chose not to believe anything the emperor said and felt that it might just be a coup in an attempt to usurp the throne indirectly.
As for the undead and the followers turned into that.
They all talked about how it could not have happened and continued to give examples and reasons for their explanations. Only two people in the entire room other than the emperor were calm enough to think clearly and even feed to think to believe what the emperor said was true.
"I'll send the Grand Elder to take a look at the situation and if what you say turns out to be true, I'll contact the other major powers and if not, you should be prepared to face the consequences."
"Thank you sir."
