Arman was overjoyed, but he had no idea that just because he was chosen as the caretaker in charge, did not mean he would have any real authority.
The main reason is, the network is quite self-sufficient and there will be no problems in the short term even if no leader is present.
They just let him in that position for his namesake.
In fact, he was not appointed or what, all they did was tell him to look around, that was all, nothing more and nothing less.
Meanwhile, at the meeting place in the Central Continent, the formation was getting ready and everyone was ready to conduct testing.
Not everyone was present, people kept coming.
The first through Inspection were people from the Empire. To be exact, the Arc people and Ye Ting's people, they were the weakest group and the group with the weakest connections present, which was why it was easy to clean them up.
After dealing with them, the next batch of people were people from the Small Power and the Small Professional association.
Even though the test was ongoing, not everyone was present. The six heads noticed that some of the people who were supposed to be here and some who even came yesterday to help with the preparations were not present now.
They secretly recorded the names and remembered them. But for now, they did not do or say anything.
As Minor's forces undergo interrogation or inspection, their island is left empty for the church to attack.
On an island belonging to a small force, on the beach, there was a small light coming out from the waters on the beach and soon a group of white-robed people emerged from the water and they started swimming towards the shore.
Soon, the entire island beach was filled with many white-robed people, led by two people wearing white masks.
Since a small force brought most of their Pre-transcendent stage cultivators and Transcendent cultivators to the meeting, this was the perfect opportunity to deal with them.
The two Pre-transcendent stage Priests remained on the beach motionless, but the remaining white-robed people had already started running towards the center of the island in panic.
Although it was called an Island, it was as big as a small country and there were many cities divided within it by small forces.
A small powerhouse would have several transcendent stage cultivators and there were many Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, both of them would amount to greater than any kingdom.
Although everything had to be checked, they would not pick it up at once. That means letting a small force die at the hands of the church.
So, the six heads gave a leeway to the small force to let some people be placed and they would exchange positions when the first wave of candidates were examined.
But what they don't know is the invasion has already begun. A similar scene was of people appearing on the beach from the ten small forces was going on and everyone on the beach was led by two Pre-transcendent stage cultivators followed by around a hundred thousand people who were normal followers.
The small forces were all besieged and the cities were attacked by the vassals.
There had already been a warning given and soldiers stationed, so they did not panic completely, but they were still anxious.
They locked all of their space gates, except those leading to the meeting place of the Central continent.
They even searched all over the island for signs of gates that might be under construction or space gates that had been secretly built.
But they didn't find it and the space gate was the place they least expected.
In shallow water.
The news of the start of the war came to the central continent, through representatives of small powers.
The little power head was agitated.
Almost all of the current small force candidates to check were already finished and only a few were left.
When the heads of the ten small powers consulted with the Six heads to find a solution, there was only a basic answer.
Pull the war out.
They wanted them to have a long-lasting battle, but they would not release them from the inspection.
Some of them even asked.
"We are definitely not their allies, that's why they are attacking us, if we don't defend them completely, what will happen to our territory?"
But the reply was even more straightforward.
"What if it's a trick for us to make believe that small forces are not moles, but it turns out they are actual moles, we can't take any chances."
After some persuasion, the ten small powers were granted leeway.
The chiefs and key decision makers and other core members can return with the people who have completed their inspections.
But they still have to send the remaining people and there needs to be one decision maker present to handle the situation.
From the information, they gained every small power led by the twelve Priests.
Two in each front and they attacked one island from six sides.
From the info the six major powers gave them, the six priests could not be considered ordinary Pre-transcendent stage cultivators.
They could become transcendent cultivators and even more so just by absorbing their soldiers. So, they were very careful and they wanted to play a battle of attrition because they decided to eliminate the number of followers slowly but surely before the Church realized it.
They did not want to attack the Priests directly and make them absorb their followers immediately.
And just like that, the greasy war had begun.
As for the people who were at the meeting place, the examination continued.
And suddenly, someone gets caught in the examination and he turns out to be from a small professional association. The space gate association.
The head of the Lightning Spear Sect fully controlled the investigation of this person personally to obtain as much information as they could get.
Since he was from the Space Gate organization, then his info was also valuable to them.
The head of the space gate organization is on pins and needles.
In fact, this organization was created to suppress people with Space elements, and the real boss behind this organization was the six heads.
They will send all users of the Space element to this place in the early days of their awakening and they will be trained to use their space element to create Space gates and other transportation techniques.
All except for all forms of battle techniques.
The inspection accelerated after catching one of them as they finally had hope of finding a mole.
They immediately began to find one mole after another and some of them happened to be trapped in the formation and some of them were caught due to overreacting. In any case, they caught a mole from the association of the Space Gate and the Seer tower.
Because they're halfway through.
The head of the Thundergod temple suddenly realized something and whispered something to the other five heads before walking out of the meeting place.
He started walking towards a direction in a very wise manner before he stopped his tracks somewhere.
Someone appeared behind him and stared at the temple head with a frown.
"What are you doing here? Old one?"
"I can ask you the same question. Why are you here?"
"I'm here to catch you."
"Capture me? Wh-wh-what for? I didn't do anything wrong. I just came for scouting."
"Why didn't you tell anyone that you came for scouting?"
"I'm also a Perfect Nature expert and the person in charge of the Major professional organization, did you forget? I am the head of the Pharmaceutical tower. Why should I ask permission from you guys?"
"Izin's? That's a big word. Anyway, since you came for reconnaissance, let's go back. Since all the other space gates were temporarily sealed except for a small force, the examination of the remaining people exchanging posts was also completed.
Now, only the main force remained. Let's go and finish our inspection before we deal with the people who are not present here.
We must complete the test and unseal at the Space gate, otherwise, we must continue to worry about our organization"
The old one did not say anything about leaving and did not show any signs of it, instead, he asked something else in surprise.
"The Space Gate is sealed?"
He asked in wonder.
“Why not? There are many suspicious people in our group of people, this large group is impossible to be controlled by a person who has power smaller than Perfect realm.
So, for us, the examination is clearly strict.
Of all the people, we are the most suspicious.
By the way, you were there when we sealed right? Why are you surprised?"
"I'm not actually surprised; I'm surprised at how much I miss such ridiculous facts. It seems like I was restless and came to lurk to be safe. Since the Space Gate is sealed, there shouldn't be anyone entering the place.
The two exchanged glances and started walking towards the meeting area.
