When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 1050 - 379: Sudden Upheaval, Bai Fu’s Two-Pronged Preparations [4k]

After learning from Demetri that the leader of the Origins Agreement was Great Emperor Ignatius, and that Emperor Odoacer had fully sided with Ignatius, Bai Fu made two arrangements simultaneously.

The first arrangement was naturally to set a trap, intending to take the opportunity to heavily deceive the Origins Agreement on the Ancestral Origin Star.

The second arrangement was to quickly and secretly notify those close to her to retreat.

For instance, the Oath Lord and Andras of the Origin Consortium.

These people were extremely close to her, and their forces and the Silent Court were deeply bound in business.

Once she went to full-scale war with the Origins Agreement, and the Rebirth Empire openly joined the fray, if they didn't run, they would very likely become the Rebirth Empire's primary targets.

These two arrangements directly left Ignatius almost defenseless.

Defenseless, was it possible not to be?

Brimming with confidence, he set out to hunt Bai Fu, utterly dismissive of her along the way, relentlessly mocking her as a candle in the wind.

In the end, he failed to kill Bai Fu, and the carefully orchestrated plot he set up was instead used by Bai Fu, turning into a sharp blade that decimated many of his Super Supreme.

This incident alone was enough to drive him mad.

After such an event, thinking of revenge was his first reaction, going as far as to resort to unscrupulous, extremely despicable means, only to find the other side well-prepared, hitting nothing but air instead.

Haha, the clown turned out to be myself!

Ignatius was losing his mind.

In over ten thousand years, even when he first became Emperor and was suppressed by the Elder Council to the point of suffocation, or when the Superpower Garden pushed into the Imperial territories, he had never felt so aggrieved.

A surge of anger was stuck in his chest, unable to swallow, nor to release, leaving him speechless, his face turning even a deeper shade of red.

Fortunately, his power was immense, for if he were an ordinary person, his blood vessels would likely face serious trouble because of such rage.

"Since I can't kill you, I will destroy your reputation first!"

The road of physical elimination was temporarily blocked, so Ignatius quickly switched routes—

An attack by propaganda!

As the ruler of the Empire, he essentially controlled one-third of the voice in the starry sky.

By initiating such a massive propaganda onslaught, he didn't believe that he couldn't shred the golden image Bai Fu had crafted for herself.

Though...

He was still a step too slow!

Before even escaping the Ancestral Origin Star, Bai Fu had already been brewing a propaganda offensive.

As the Great Battle broke out, she first notified through the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry those who came to their aid about the relationship between the Origins Agreement and the Rebirth Empire, the existence of the Harvester, and Ignatius's intent—to finish off a significant number of Super Supremes from the Origins Agreement in one go. Thus, she had no concern that revealing this secret to the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry would trigger the Harvester's Descent mechanism.

Initially receiving the news, both the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry were skeptical, doubting whether Bai Fu was sowing discord and trouble.

However, with the end of the Great Battle of the Ancestral Origin Star, and upon Ignatius's order for the Rebirth Empire to liquidate the Silent Court, both the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry suddenly saw the situation clearly.

Damn it, Bai Fu wasn't wrong, the Rebirth Empire indeed had issues!

Everyone had been happily reaping the spoils from the Apostle Holy City, when suddenly the Rebirth Empire presented a backer more powerful than a Supreme Divine Disciple, this backer even wanting to establish a new order dictated by him.

Under no circumstances could the Supernova Battle Group and Titan Industry accept such a situation.

They had to counteract, and absolutely couldn't allow the Rebirth Empire to dominate them.

The alliance of the three parties thus fractured.

When Ignatius instructed Odoacer to initiate the propaganda offensive, the Battle Group Chief Fitz and the Industrial Committee Chairman Drano had already ordered their publicity departments to reveal the true identity of the leader of the Origins Agreement.

[What the hell, the leader of the Origins Agreement is actually Ignatius of the Rebirth Empire?]

[If that's the case, then why attack the Rebirth Empire? Isn't he the greatest Emperor in the history of the Rebirth Empire, gone mad?]

[This must be fake news]

[Exactly, if the leader of the Origins Agreement truly is Ignatius, why didn't he step up to aid the Empire when it was threatened by the Apostle Holy City, instead letting Bai Fu, an outsider, intervene]

[Fake my ass, this was personally announced by the head of the Battle Group's Publicity Department]

[I think this is a conspiracy, Ignatius concealed his identity and established the Origins Agreement with the intent to assist the Empire in annexing the Battle Group and Titan Industry. His command for the Origins Agreement to attack the Empire was merely for show, to ward off the Battle Group and Titan Industry's suspicion of his identity. If not for the sudden invasion of the Apostle Holy City, by now the Battle Group and Titan Industry would likely have been in the Empire's pocket]

In an incredibly short time, the public opinion on the network was turned completely against the Empire and Ignatius.

They condemned Ignatius as appearing heroic, yet actually a base scoundrel.

They decried the Empire as a garbage state, thinking only of stabbing its ally in the back while its ally waged a bloody battle up front.

Amongst the curses, Players who had personally experienced the Great Battle of the Ancestral Origin Star jumped out, releasing video evidence of the Origins Agreement invading the Ancestral Origin Star, and reinforcements sent by the Rebirth Empire attempting to collaborate with the Origins Agreement to kill Bai Fu.

The emergence of these videos, coupled with a torrent of verbal abuse from numerous players on the Interstellar Network, further tarnished the reputation of the Empire and Ignatius.

[Oh wow, how bad is the Empire!]

[It's exasperating, Fufu helped the Empire so much, yet because they feared Fufu might become an obstacle on their path to establishing a totalitarian regime, they backstabbed her without hesitation]
