While cooking, Lin Ruo was also pondering some questions.
For instance, if he had discussed reform with Medici back then, then why did he and Medici end up fighting so fiercely?
Lin Ruo was very confused, and in his confusion, he simply asked at the dinner table.
"Are you referring to the time before my demise?" Medici, holding a chicken leg with chopsticks—it was clear he was quite skilled with such utensils—glanced at Lin Ruo and said,
"At that time, Solomon had fallen, the Lord was targeted by the Six Gods, the Primordial Demoness was eyeing you covetously, the Serpent had just entered its restart phase, and no one else could be relied upon…"
"Under such circumstances, do you think it's possible for me not to try to become the Red Priest?"
Lin Ruo: …
Alright, I understand. It seems the conflict back then was over the war.
Lin Ruo could understand this. After all, Medici's description made it clear how dire their situation was back then. Medici might not mind a revolution with him under favorable conditions, as it would be a win-win, but the situation back then clearly wouldn't allow him to wait indefinitely.
So, Medici back then clearly intended to abandon the original plan and directly prepare for the war to achieve godhood, and he most likely disagreed.
After all, Lin Ruo had many friends, and in his view at the time, the situation might not have been so critical. However, Medici might not have trusted his friends, given how many examples of betrayal there were in the Mystical World.
Lin Ruo could even imagine that before they started fighting, they might have talked amiably a few times, but neither side could convince the other, leading to arguments, and ultimately, a fierce battle.
After all, for them, arguing and fighting were just daily occurrences; that time was merely a bit more intense. Judging by Medici's current attitude and his past falling out with Alista for Medici's sake, neither of them probably took that particular fight to heart, at most harboring some resentment.
But who could have known that Little Red would be gone just from a fit of pique, and killed by his own student at that? Tsk, my mentality must have collapsed back then…
As Lin Ruo thought this, he felt sorry for his past self for three seconds, then continued to pick at his food while pondering other matters.
Regarding the revolution.
Although he had thought about giving a push after the spark ignited, Lin Ruo hadn't realized Medici had such an idea at the time, so he hadn't thought much about it. After all, nothing was set in stone, and thinking about it too early was unnecessary; he wasn't idle, he was as busy as Sasrir.
But now that they had confirmed they were going to do something big, and also help Medici complete his godhood ritual at the same time, many things needed to be considered.
—Hmm, actually, it's not just Medici's godhood ritual. If I'm being honest, a part of my own godhood ritual could also be completed incidentally.
Lin Ruo paused. Thinking of the Judge's godhood ritual, he immediately realized he was probably going to win big again.
He could establish an ideal order, complete part of his godhood ritual, and push Medici to become the Red Priest, which, roughly speaking, meant he would have a Sequence 0 tool-person. Hooray!
Lin Ruo gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart and continued to scheme.
To achieve these, the first thing to consider is the conqueror characteristic, which concerns Medici's strength. A Sequence 2 is no longer enough in this world; to achieve transformation, a King of Angels is almost the minimum requirement.
However, this aspect will primarily be handled by Medici himself. What Lin Ruo can do is probably keep an eye out for information for him, and if any accidents occur when Medici tries to seize the characteristic from the Augustus Family, he can lend a hand if possible.
As for the characteristic that Lin Ruo almost certainly possesses, he can only wait until his habitual memories return. Considering that the disagreement between him and Medici on this matter has already been resolved, perhaps he will be able to get that characteristic soon?
Lin Ruo felt this was very likely and decided to urge Klein to help him advance to Sequence 4 as soon as possible.
No particular reason, mainly Lin Ruo felt that if he really had a conqueror characteristic in his hand, it was highly probable that he had thrown it into Sefirah Castle.
Besides this, secondly, of course, is the matter of finding relevant talents.
Previously, Lin Ruo's idea was to wait until the spark ignited before searching. After all, in the vast sea of people, without any clues, it's truly difficult to find someone who may or may not exist, and his supernatural ability isn't effective in such situations.
But now that he had decided to lead this effort, Lin Ruo decided to start paying attention to this aspect from now on.
Even if they couldn't find the top-tier talents, it would still be good to gather a group of people skilled in research, logistics, and political affairs in advance for the establishment of the new order later. The new order cannot be sustained by one person alone, and Lin Ruo doesn't want to be overworked like a dog again.
Then there's the matter of gathering intelligence. This primarily targets those who pose a threat and are 100% against the revolution, such as the Augustus Family of Loen, who possess Sequence 1, or even have the potential to impact a True God. Lin Ruo needs to find ways to understand their true strength to avoid suffering heavy losses when they actually make a move later.
Secondly, it's to gauge the attitudes of the major churches towards the revolution, which is crucial.
Although theoretically, the establishment of a new order would not significantly impact the Orthodox Churches, and in some ways, it might even bring many benefits to the churches. For example, the disappearance of places like the East Borough could, to some extent, reduce the possibility of evil gods descending, and when everyone can eat their fill, many people will have the extra energy to believe in religion.
But Gods are not all the same. What if there is one who is particularly stubborn and wants to help someone like the Augustus Family? What if they don't favor them and choose to side with families like Augustus?
And what if there's someone who has an opinion about him personally and just doesn't want him to have an easy time—yes, I'm talking about you, God of Combat!
The scale of the Orthodox Churches in this world is not to be underestimated. Even though it's difficult for deities to descend now, the major churches still have a lot of high-Sequence individuals. While Sequence 1 might be rare, there are many Sequence 2 and Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts.
So, to make things happen, it's still difficult without first probing the churches, or rather, the attitudes of the Gods behind the churches.
However, this matter clearly cannot be asked directly; it must be investigated personally. After investigating, he would consider how to win over those who could be won over, such as the Evernight Goddess, the Earth Mother, and the God of Steam and Machinery. Lin Ruo felt that the possibility of winning over these three was very high.
Although the God of Steam and Machinery seems to have some conflict with Roselle, considering Bornova's current situation and the attitude Roselle revealed during their last meeting in his memory, Lin Ruo felt that the so-called conflict between them might have some hidden secrets.
Perhaps their relationship is not as bad as it appears to the public.
