"The 'Dark Priest' hidden occupation is a bit odd."
Noland Lee felt he had underestimated the harm of the game source code leakage.
Clearly, the Dark Divine Cult did more than just tarnish the character of the players; it also extended its malevolent claws toward the players' physical bodies, souls, or something else in reality.
Based on Noland's understanding of the Plane Core, players are not truly human in the full sense.
Every Plane Core has the ability to nurture souls.
As the hidden mastermind behind the Starry Sea Game, 'Command' Plane's Core didn't really need to find a planetsphere and scatter game helmets across it.
It only needed to mold souls into the image of players within its own plane space, set up scenarios for living and working, and thus it could create human souls who enjoyed playing games.
From this perspective, the pollution of the players' true selves by the Dark Divine Cult meant that 'Command' Plane's Core was being eroded by the Dark Divine Cult.
