Chapter 73: Lynn's Plan to Become a God

Upon hearing this, 0-08: ...

Why do you think I haven't plotted against you yet? Even without my previous memories, my intuition remains intact!

Do you know how terrifying your aura was this morning? Dare I pit myself against you?

0-08 decided to remain silent.

"Are you really planning something big?" Lynn, not willing to let it go, thoughtfully held his chin, appearing as though he was seriously considering this possibility.

0-08 couldn't take it anymore. It quickly broke free from Lynn's grasp and scribbled a few words on the paper:

"If you're so idle, why not think about when to deal with the Demoness Sect and the Augustus family?"

0-08 knew that to divert Lynn's attention, he needed to present another intriguing topic.

"Don't worry, their time will come soon. I'm not one to play favorites." Lynn smiled, stretching lazily.

"Tonight, I have other important matters."

If all went well, he should be able to join the Tarot Club tonight.

Lynn's desire to join the Tarot Club was not purely for entertainment. He wanted to gain access to the club's channels to easily obtain information, resources, and turn his knowledge and resources into tangible benefits. Additionally, Lynn wanted to use Little Sun's connections to indirectly understand how the history he altered was recorded.

It was normal for the Northern and Southern Continents to lack records about the Angel of Secrets. Even the War Angel like Little Red, with his strong presence, was known to only a few. It was more likely that Lynn would be unknown.

But Silver City was different. Although their records of angels who followed the ancient Sun God were incomplete, they were more comprehensive than those outside.

At the same time, the other members of the Tarot Club, although not high in sequence yet, had various connections. They could access a broader range of information than Lynn alone. While collecting information about the Angel of Secrets from Silver City, Lynn could also gather relevant information from the Justice and Hanged Man of the Tarot Club, further confirming the impact of the past he altered in the current era.

Of course, Lynn also planned to collect information in the Fourth Epoch.

The purpose of gathering this information was not only to better understand his abilities...

"If I developed a large following in the Second Epoch and created certain organizations, could these followers and organizations have survived to this day? And if the Second Epoch is too far, what about the Fourth Epoch?" Lynn's smile widened as he thought this was a topic worth exploring.

The Fifth Epoch didn't provide an ideal environment to develop followers, given the Seven Gods' vigilance. Except for the Evernight Goddess, Lynn doubted the other six gods would tolerate him preaching, especially the God of Steam and Machinery. How would this god tolerate someone on a similar path ascending?

Although Lynn wasn't particularly afraid of them, he couldn't kill them all even if he could beat them during his future apotheosis ceremony. He wasn't that kind of person. Also, borrowing power from his unknown self had a cost; doing it too much could lead to his own destruction.

Thus, rather than painstakingly developing followers now, occasionally cheating and borrowing power while facing the gods, Lynn preferred to use Smurf accounts to develop followers, which his main account could then inherit directly. Furthermore...

"If I swallow the Hidden Sage in the Second Epoch and replace the God of Steam and Machinery to ascend in the Fourth Epoch, then when time converges to the present, even if the Smurf account can't merge with the main account, I could easily become an Great Old One with the Smurf account's support." Lynn grasped 0-08 again, feeling its subtle tremble and smiled even more.

"After all, the greatest obstacle would become the greatest help, and with the Smurf account's trial and error, I would be fully prepared for the subsequent promotions."

Lynn smiled as he looked at the sky. He never planned to use his main account for future planning; it was too laborious and inefficient.

Using Smurf accounts to prepare and assist the main account to become a god was more advantageous. He could enjoy himself, make friends, and smoothly advance to become an old god—a multi-faceted win.

Otherwise, what was the point of creating Smurf accounts?

"The main account just needs to establish enough connections with big shots like Klein and the Evernight Goddess."

"Using the historical Smurf accounts to gather acquaintances like Little Red, Sasrir, and Bethel Abraham, and then keeping those relationships going with the main account will ensure most big shots stand by me when I ascend." Lynn held 0-08, his smile growing brighter.

Despite enjoying himself, Lynn never forgot his main objective.

He's always been like this, seeming unreliable but revealing that everything was planned when it mattered.

"Oh, Klein is here!" Lynn suddenly noticed a familiar figure at the entrance of Saint Samuel Cathedral. He nonchalantly pocketed the feather pen and left the hotel.

He needed to go home and prepare for the upcoming prayer.

...

Some time later, the carriage arrived, and Klein paid the fare and entered Saint Samuel Cathedral, soon meeting his old superior, the Sword of the Goddess, Creste Sesima.

The senior executive of the Nighthawks, the head of the Red Gloves, looked troubled, holding a recently opened letter, seemingly facing a significant problem.

Seeing Klein, Creste Sesima paused and then said, "Are you here because of Lynn Sotos's report?"

Klein didn't hide it and nodded. "Lynn Sotos told me he was going to report something to the Evernight Church, but he didn't give me the details."

Klein's gaze fell on the letter in Creste Sesima's hand. "So, what exactly did Lynn Sotos report? It seems like a big deal."

Creste Sesima frowned, looking pained but still answered, "Strictly speaking, you're also involved in this matter."

"?" Klein was puzzled.
