"However, this doesn't mean I agree with the views in the book. In fact, starting from the seventeenth chairman, our strategies gradually diverged from the predetermined path in the book."
The chairman spoke again, leaving Richard stunned once more.
This...
Was supposed to be his rhetoric, right?
The chairman was effectively admitting in front of everyone that he had deviated from the plan set by the Master of Tides, almost sealing his fate in this debate.
The speech continued, "This issue hinges on how we perceive that great being. Is He a visionary leader, or an omniscient and omnipotent Divine Spirit?"
The chairman posed this question to everyone, after a moment, he said, "If it's the former, it means His vision is also confined by the limitations of the era, unable to foresee the changes in epochs to come. The ark is the last resort He left us, and once this plan is initiated, it equates to confessing our defeat."
In his view, it's a cruel plan.
