The Foundation realized that Judgment Day was imminent.
This world was about to be destroyed.
Therefore, they would spare no cost to save themselves, even if it meant making a deal with the devil.
Gui Yi, through analyzing his various actions consuming spirits and the doctrines of Esoteric Buddhism, could roughly confirm his stance and attitude as an apostle of another great being opposed to the ranch owner.
That was enough!
They weren't just asking Gui Yi; they were asking Gui Yi, in his capacity as Pope, to contact the god worshiped by Esoteric Buddhism, an entity known as 'Lord Mediocrity', who could bestow mercy upon this world.
This was already the highest success rate plan for world salvation that the think tank had come up with!
"So… please, sir, save us no matter what, and for this, we are willing to pay any price, including our faith… even if it means spreading Esoteric Buddhism to the whole world, the Foundation will fully support it."
