Chapter 949: A God Should Seem Like One
3 days later.
The Church pulled back from all ongoing large-scale power struggles and fortified defending their own territories.
The Church seemed to have undergone some sort of change.
For the next few days, when the priests directed the church’s followers to sing prayers to God, they used praises a few more times than normal.
Arrogant and useless divine knights were dismissed from their positions, church members who had committed crimes were swiftly purged, leaving only the most devout members and those who could actually put up a fight.
The bishops of the Church started to travel from country to country, no longer showing off their superiority as clergymen.
Right now, they seemed more like hard-working salarymen who were sincerely trying their best, putting in effort meticulously.
The Church itself had been revitalized.
Noticing this odd change, the other forces put in some effort to learn of the Church’s current business.
And soon they received shocking news.
God had descended onto the mortal realm.
God!
According to the Church’s preaching, only the souls that sincerely revered God may enter Heaven after their deaths, others would either reincarnate, be sent to Hell, or forever wander aimlessly around the void of space.
Regardless, the best possible place to end up after death was definitely Heaven.
Even disregarding God’s power for now, the fact that God had appeared proved that the preachings of the Church’s bibles were indeed correct.
Place your hand on your chest and ask yourself.
Who doesn’t want to enjoy eternal peace after death?
Heaven—– this word alone was more than enough to pull everyone under the flag of the Church.
The feeling of disbelief and anxiety filled the hearts of the leaders of various forces.
Just as they were about to send out their strongest Professionists to try to find out the truth from the Church’s Holy Sanctuary, the Pope appeared.
The Pope had issued a summon to all forces in the world, saying that he had something to inform everyone.
Just like that, every force in the world got an excuse to send their envoys to the Holy Sanctuary.
Before these envoys managed to investigate anything, they were completely stunned by the sight they beheld.
The Pope.
He had regained his youth.
He had returned to the prime age of his life.
[Chaotic Flow] only made it so that his body returned to the state it was in the past, it didn’t take away his memories.
Having several hundred years of experience, knowledge, and wisdom, as well as being in charge of the greatest force in the world allowed the Pope to claim without a doubt that he was the strongest person in the world.
In front of all the envoys, the Pope admitted the descent of God.
“Indeed, I am the greatest example, as God had bestowed youth upon me”
The Pope said.
“The Lord said—– it is not yet time for me to return to Heaven in the sky, that I should remain in the mortal realm to contribute more to the Church”
“The Lord also said—– there is no need to worry about loss and gain in the mortal realm, as everything in the mortal realm is like the clouds that float above and will eventually disappear, only the peace of Heaven is eternal”
“From now on, the Church will no longer interfere with any strifes, but if someone tries to stop us from spreading our beliefs, I assure you their only outcome will be death”
“Following this, the Church will focus its resources for only one thing”
“Collect information”
The Pope’s words caused all the envoys to feel surprised.
“What do you mean by collecting information?” someone asked.
“The Lord had foretold that the world would slowly head into ruin within the next hundred years, so the Lord needed to know of any unusual occurrences before the calamity truly arrives” the Pope replied.
“Head into ruin!?”
The envoys were shocked.
News of this was quickly relayed to the world’s organizations.
The leaders of these forces didn’t waste a single moment to use their influence to investigate and confirm whether or not what they claimed was real.
The events that transpired at the Yorkshire convent quickly came to light.
In truth, the Church never intended to hide it in the first place.
Both God and the miracle he performed was real.
At this point, they were practically wishing for the transpired event to be as widely known as possible.
After the entire truth was clearly laid out in front of everyone, they went completely silent.
How were they going to go against the Church who had God on their side?
And was the destruction that God spoke of really true?
The Professionists of the world were confused.
One month later, another shocking thing occurred.
The Great Chieftain of the Beast race ordered a ceasefire.
He left the territory of the Beast race, made the long journey through the Great Plains to the Holy Sanctuary, and requested to meet God just once.
The Pope naturally rejected its request.
After all, God himself said that he had only revealed himself because he needed time to recover his strength, and it has only been 4 years, it would still be a long time until he fully recovers.
While the Great Chieftain of the Beast race was about as strong as the Pope himself.
This place was humanity’s Holy Sanctuary, the fact that the Pope didn’t immediately send out troops to surround and eliminate him was in consideration that he might be here to surrender himself.
The Beast race’s Great Chieftain was denied entry into the Holy Sanctuary, but he couldn’t force his way in either, so he could only kneel outside the Holy Sanctuary and put a corpse on the ground.
“Omnipotent God, master above, founder of Heaven, creator of the world. I vow to submit myself to you, my only wish is for you to save the royal bloodline of the Beast race and allow him to continue leading the Beast race and prosper on our Meadow”
The Great Chieftain knelt with its head to the ground.
Standing on the fortified walls of the Holy Sanctuary, the Pope’s expression changed as he saw this.
That corpse was the Beast King!
The Beast King was the most powerful of the Beast race, the only one capable of leading the Beast race as a whole with its power.
But now, the Beast King’s bloodline could no longer continue.
The Beast race as a whole would definitely be caught in chaos and war!
In theory, this would be the moment for humanity to make one final push and gain the absolute advantage in this war, becoming the victor.
But the Great Chieftain of the Beast race had come to beg God for help.
Which means this was the Lord’s decision to make.
With that in mind, the Pope ordered his subordinates: “Go, report everything to the Lord”
“No need, I already know everything”
A voice emerged from the void of space.
It was Gu Qing Shan’s voice.
The Pope and followers of the Church quickly bowed to greet his voice.
“My Lord, what do you think abou——”
While the Pope was asking, a cluster of holy light appeared from above.
Like a comet, the cluster of light fell outside the Holy Sanctuary and went into the Beast King’s body.
The Beast King opened his eyes.
...
Even if one had all the authority, wealth, and power in the world, in the end, you would still end up as a pile of sand or dirt in the ground.
For humans—– or rather, for all living beings, the ultimate dream was an eternal life without end.
If that was impossible, then most people would instead wish that they would end up somewhere decent after death.
——-or like the Pope of the Divine Church, regressing to the prime of their life.
——–or to be able to revive after death.
And up to this point, God had shown to be able to accomplish all of this.
After the Beast race swore their allegiance to God, humanity’s structure as a whole also silently began to change.
Some countries directly declared total submission to the Church.
Not acceptance, but total submission.
——-if one couldn’t become a Professionist, the most they would live for was a few dozen years.
But if they believed in God, they would be granted entry to the eternal Heaven after death.
Who was not willing to accept such a great deal?
However, most forces as well as the most powerful nations and empires still adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
Because they understood a certain fact.
The Beast race had always been famous for their stupidity, underhanded, and fraudulent nature.
They only worshipped powerful entities and ancient spirits of the past as well as their own ancestors.
They had never actually cared for humanity’s faith.
The Beast race Great Chieftain’s actions this time were akin to a desperate patient running everywhere they could for medicine.
Who could be sure what the situation would end up as?
Time slowly passed.
Sure enough, after delaying their promise over and over again for several months, the Beast race changed their minds.
Apparently, they had received a revelation from their ancient ancestor that humanity’s God was actually an evil god.
At the same time, they claimed that humanity’s God was still very weak, unable to win against even the Beast King and the Great Chieftain.
So there was no need to pay any attention to him.
—–in truth, this was also a main point of interest for the larger forces of humanity.
They heard that God was actually still recovering his strength, and was only 4 years old right now.
Following this, the human missionaries who followed the Beast King back to the Beast race’s Meadow to spread the Church’s teachings were chased back to humanity’s territory.
In the end, everyone knew who saved the Beast King’s life, so his pride didn’t allow him to actually kill these missionaries.
The night at the human missionaries returned to the Holy Sanctuary.
Two streaks of holy light filled with solemnity flew out from the Holy Sanctuary and headed for the Meadow.
The Beast race who had already been paying close attention to the Holy Sanctuary naturally noticed and did everything they could to stop these two streaks of light.
But all of their spells and techniques were completely stopped by one of the lights, unable to do anything.
Following that, all the Beast warriors who took flight and attempted to stop the streaks of light were completely crushed to a pulp by the other streak of light.
The two unstoppable streaks of light continued forward through the Beast race’s encampments until they reached deep into the Meadow.
One of the streaks of light slowly descended and struck the ground.
Heaven and earth themselves turned dim.
Intense wind ravaged the land.
The world itself shook.
The ground had caved in to become a bottomless creator.
Everything no longer existed.
On this day.
The Beast race as a whole vanished from the stage of history.
