I have a city in another world

Chapter 6907 Temples and Statues

With a scream, many attackers collapsed in the flowerbed, their faces contorted in pain.

It was Yves who made the move, his face filled with murderous intent as he coldly stared at the group of ants before him.

"Do you all want to die?!"

As a formal wizard, he truly didn't take mortals seriously, especially a group of fools who dared to offend and attack him.

In the past, these reckless fools would have already lost their lives.

But that won't work now, because in the days to come they still need to recruit believers in the city.

If one leaves a bad reputation, it will surely instill fear in people and make it difficult to gain their trust again.

However, when it's time to act, there should be no hesitation, otherwise more people will break the rules.

The world is vast, but rules are paramount, especially in chaotic situations like this, where the absence of rules will only make things worse.

Yves hadn't expected that his leniency would fail to deter these out-of-control citizens.

"Everyone, attack together and kill them! There are too many of us, they're no match for us!"

"None of the cultivators or the alien races are good people; they're the ones who have ruined everyone!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and others echoed, and a group of men and women nearby began to stir again.

They brandished their weapons and slowly approached once more, their eyes flashing with ferocity and anger.

"A bunch of damn idiots!"

Yves gritted his teeth and looked at Ashe beside him, who nodded slightly.

Aisha waved her hand, and then screams came from the crowd as more than a dozen vines suddenly shot up from the ground into the sky.

Each vine had a person wrapped around it, constantly emitting screams and cries of terror.

Judging from the voices, it was clear that they were the group of men and women who had just been incited and echoed, but now they had been accurately identified and hung up.

The dozen or so people were filled with terror, constantly begging for mercy, their hearts overflowing with deep regret.

They originally intended to mislead the crowd so they could capture the alien girl in the chaos, but they never expected to be targeted and attacked directly.

The vines tightened their grip, and the sharp thorns on their surface pierced the skin, causing the group of men and women to scream in agony.

The vines around my neck were silently tightening, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.

If things continue this way, it won't be long before this group of men and women are strangled to death by the vines.

As Yves walked forward, citizens blocking his path quickly moved aside, and a few even tried to adopt a tough stance.

Unexpectedly, Yves raised his gun, aimed it at the people blocking his way, and pulled the trigger. After several shots rang out, those who tried to block his way were all turned into corpses.

Upon seeing this, the people around fled in terror, fearing they too would be shot dead.

With Yves clearing the way with murder, no one dared to stop them, and the procession passed smoothly through the crowd.

No one dared to stop them, no one dared to curse them; they simply watched the procession pass by in silence.

Although they were eager to know how Yves and his companions had crossed the poisonous fog and what they were doing in the city, no one dared to speak up.

Fortunately, not long after, the citizens who did not see Yves's ferocious appearance couldn't help but ask a group of foreign girls for advice.

Who are you people?

What are you going to do in the city?
How can I get outside the city?

One question after another floated from the mouths of the crowd, their eyes filled with eager anticipation, hoping to get the answers they wanted.

Thinking of their mission, the alien girls all spoke up, expressing their desire to recruit believers for the gods.

After becoming a believer, one can receive divine protection and numerous benefits.

Upon hearing this, the people around him showed expressions of surprise, and a hint of wariness flashed in their eyes.

There are no gods within the astral plane; all gods are regarded as evil forces, a concept long accepted by the people.

Trying to convert citizens into believers in a deity is tantamount to publicly telling them, "I'm a fraud, a bottomless pit of fire, jump in now!" Citizens would be trying to avoid me, so how could they possibly join easily?

Deeply ingrained mindsets are the hardest to break and eradicate, especially within cities like this.

Knowing how difficult this is, you'll understand why the reward is so generous; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to get the inhabitants of the Star Realm to worship alien gods, especially in large numbers.

However, in desperate situations, there will always be people willing to compromise in order to survive.

Especially during disasters, when faced with an uncertain future, some people will try to find solace and hope to receive help from external forces.

If the gods were to appear at this moment, the believers, who are in dire straits, would surely give an even more fervent response.

But at this moment, no one was willing to speak up and worship that unknown evil god.

As the procession receded into the distance, some people muttered curses under their breath, while others frowned and pondered deeply.

The arrival of Tang Zhen and others gave people who were lost and desperate a brand new option.

However, this choice is not accepted by everyone; the vast majority of people reject and doubt it.

The Wizards' Alliance could arrive at any moment to help everyone get out of their predicament.

If someone acts impulsively and becomes a follower of an evil god, they will certainly be severely punished by the authorities.

Even if they escape danger, they will be sent to prison and inevitably suffer some hardship.

Therefore, when the news spread and people learned that Tang Zhen and his group were messengers of an evil god, the people in the city avoided them like the plague.

The group continued onward, searching for a suitable location, and finally arrived in front of a building.

This enormous building, resembling a traditional Chinese archway, stands over 600 meters tall.

Following the oracle's instructions, Ashe chose this building and decided to renovate the temple here.

The first thing to do is to build a giant statue so that all the residents of the city can see it.

Building a statue that is hundreds of meters tall is no easy task and requires a massive amount of resources.

However, at this moment, there are other ways to solve the problem without requiring a large amount of resources and manpower.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ashe arrived at the plaza in front of the building, raised her staff, and chanted a spell.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the overcast sky, followed by a seven-colored vortex.

Countless silk-like light feathers fell from the seven-colored vortex, adhering to and suspending in the center of the frame of this tall building.

It resembles a spider web, continuously gathering and weaving.

Countless petals drifted in from all directions of the city, gathering and floating near this building.

Besides the petals, there are also a considerable number of grass sprouts and seeds that grow rapidly after being exposed to light.

Gradually, people noticed that the light and petals in the middle of that tall building outlined a huge figure.

Although it is only an outline, it exudes a sense of majesty, inspiring a feeling of awe.

More and more petals and seeds covered the surface of that giant outline, and its appearance became clearer and clearer.

Flowers of different colors are concentrated in different areas, making it more three-dimensional.

As the vines continued to grow and weave, and the drifting flowers continued to cover it, the hundreds-of-meters-tall figure became increasingly clear.

Standing below the building, Tang Zhen, along with the onlookers in the distance, could vaguely see a stunningly beautiful woman standing on a petal-shaped platform, tall and dignified, dressed in a jade-green robe.

A faint aura of majesty spread outwards, instilling a sense of awe in those around them.

At this moment, no one could recognize the woman's identity, but they knew she must be a powerful deity.

Without immense power, it is impossible to manifest miracles within the astral plane and openly challenge the authority of the creators.

People both revere and hate such beings. If they hadn't been caught in the crossfire of the power struggle between the gods, how could they have ended up in such a miserable state?
