Chapter 306 - 305: Honeyed Words as Bait, Greed as the Net
"That’s absolute bullshit!"
Sure enough, Bishop Guerrero of the Bright Holy See couldn’t hold back any longer.
He shot up from his chair and roared.
He had originally planned to just sit back and enjoy the show, gloating from the sidelines.
But he never expected that Chu He and Qian Jia of the Human Race Supremacy Association, who had just appeared, would end up dragging God into their discussion.
Especially Qian Jia’s words.
She actually dared to claim that God didn’t exist at all, and could only offer humanity spiritual and mental solace.
This was tantamount to casting God aside and declaring Him utterly useless.
For the members of the Bright Holy See, this was simply intolerable.
"Your Bright Holy See is the most laughable existence.
You use sweet words as bait and the greedy hearts of men as your net,
to capture the masses who yearn for a better life but lack the ability to see the truth.
In the name of authority,
you weave empty promises into colorful dreams,
luring those who long to change their fate into your trap, one step at a time.
The Evil Spirits have invaded Blue Star, and human lives have become worthless.
We are things the Evil Spirits can slaughter at will, worth less than the garbage on the side of the road.
This has made it difficult for people in these chaotic times to distinguish truth from falsehood,
and their desperate longing for a better life has given your Bright Holy See the perfect opportunity to take advantage of them."
Qian Jia’s expression was impassive as she looked at the furious Bishop Guerrero. "When our Human Race Supremacy Association completes its God Project, it will be the end of your Bright Holy See."
Many of the people present exchanged glances, while Abbot Tonghua, seated to the side, revealed a faint smile.
One had to understand the status of the Bright Holy See.
In the West, it was a behemoth that not even the Evil Spirits could shake.
Even the arrogant and indomitable Vampire Clan went out of their way to avoid them.
Their followers were spread across the entire Blue Star.
No one had ever dared to rebuke the Bright Holy See so harshly in public.
An icy chill began to radiate from Guerrero’s entire body. "I know you things—neither human nor ghost—are powerful. But do you really think no one can put you in your place?"
With that, Guerrero leaped down from the judges’ platform.
The few members of the Bright Holy See he had brought with him quickly gathered at his side.
Each of them took out a small, exquisite, and magnificent Cross.
They held the Crosses to their chests.
"God, I praise You. You are a God full of mercy.
A bruised reed You will not break, and a smoldering wick You will not snuff out.
God, I thank You, for You can sympathize with my weakness.
You lift all my burdens, You accept me as I am..."
Guerrero’s voice was like the first rumble of thunder, brewing silently in the quiet space before suddenly erupting.
At first, his voice was as fine as a thread, yet it held a power that could not be ignored, gradually rising in volume.
It was like mountain streams converging into a river, then a torrent rushing into the sea.
Finally, it thundered through the air, every single word pounding on the listeners’ hearts like a Drum,
shaking their very souls!
This thunderous declaration not only stirred the still air but also invoked an ancient, sacred power.
As the power in Guerrero’s voice grew, a holy light burst forth from him and the other members of the Bright Holy See.
This was no simple radiance; it transformed into thousands of glowing motes, like fireflies dancing in the air,
intertwining to weave a magnificent tapestry of light.
Each particle of light seemed like a shard from the purest star in the cosmos, glittering with an inviolable brilliance.
They gathered and condensed, finally forming high above the crowd,
slowly constructing a vast and solemn humanoid figure of light.
The figure was towering and majestic, wreathed in delicate layers of holy light.
Every ray of light it emitted contained boundless warmth and sanctity,
yet it also exuded an unintentional but inviolable majesty.
Its face was indistinct, yet it radiated a transcendent serenity,
as if it were the most perfect being in existence, silently gazing down upon everything below.
Particularly striking was the brilliant, pure-white halo floating above the giant figure’s head.
It rotated slowly, releasing gentle yet powerful waves of energy.
Within that halo seemed to lie the truths and mysteries of the universe, inspiring an involuntary sense of reverence in all who saw it.
The entire scene was both mystical and solemn.
The holy radiance stood in stark contrast to the dim surroundings.
"The Lord Bishop of the Bright Holy See is making his move! Those people from the Human Race Supremacy Association are really asking for it."
"Why do I feel like the people from the Human Race Supremacy Association have a point?"
"Have a point? How dare you say something so vile, you’re worse than an animal! Don’t let me find you. If I do, I’ll throw you in a fire myself!"
"What are you, a member of the Bright Holy See? Or one of their brain-dead followers? Look at you on your high horse."
"Maybe the members of the Human Race Supremacy Association will just wipe them all out in a minute, hahahahaha..."
The viewers in the live stream chat were instantly divided into two camps.
One camp consisted of staunch followers of the Bright Holy See,
while the other was made up of netizens who had never believed Deities would save humanity.
Chu He took this opportunity to drop down, appearing directly in front of Xiao Cangqing.
Xiao Cangqing shuddered in fear, quickly raising his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Chu He, I think I know what you want to ask," he said. "I can tell you."
"Then talk."
Chu He said noncommittally.
"You must have already seen the memories inside Ji Shengyue’s mind,
so you saw the death of the sun and a plan that will lead to Blue Star’s destruction."
Xiao Cangqing said.
’At first, he hadn’t understood either.’
’He and Chu He were like fire and water,
so it was a miracle Chu He hadn’t already killed him. Why would he step in to save him?’
’But after thinking about it for a long time, he figured it out.’
’He had been under Chu He’s control for a while back then,
so he knew Chu He’s methods were incredible, almost unbelievable.’
’That night, Ji Shengyue had appeared in Chu He’s room, attempting to strike a deal with him,
only to be mercilessly refused.’
’Ji Shengyue must have inadvertently revealed something that night,
and Chu He must have read her memories as a result.’
"To be honest with you,
I didn’t know anything about the sun’s death or the plan to destroy Blue Star.
I only learned of them after I obtained the Bloodline Power of the Vampire Clan’s Ancestor
from the memories I inherited through that Bloodline Power.
I confirmed it later. The sun is indeed dead.
What we see now is just its corpse burning.
Powers of ultimate purity and scorching light, like that of the sun, are what the Evil Spirits fear most.
And that kind of power exists on Blue Star as well.
Although Blue Star’s power is far weaker than the sun’s,
it still makes them uncomfortable. So, the Evil Spirits’ plan is to slowly devour Blue Star,
to kill it completely and fill it with the aura of death.
I just felt that with my power alone, I probably couldn’t stop something so inevitable,
so I was making my own plans in advance,
preparing to secure a foothold for myself after the sun and Blue Star are completely dead."
Xiao Cangqing spoke these words with great sincerity.
