Chapter 738: Life and Everything

Fang Junhao frowned, his face wary and puzzled as he asked, "What's going on with this hymn? Why is it different from before? Who altered the hymn without authorization?"

Xiao Xingyi shook his head slightly, his expression strange. "I'm not sure. As far as I know, one day three months ago, when the priests were visualizing the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire and the Brilliant Holy Altar, someone suddenly started singing this modified hymn. The hundreds of thousands of priests present at the time followed suit, and then within a few days, it became popular throughout the entire main altar.

Afterwards, the Temple of Judgment and the Temple of Light jointly investigated the source of this hymn, but they could not find out the reason. The priests present at the time all said that when they visualized the holy thunder and fire, they were inspired by the holy fire and naturally sang this new hymn. They also found that chanting this hymn could strengthen their fire purification technique and divine fire.

Strangely, the Holy Fire expanded within the underground farm that day by a full 50 miles. Therefore, after repeated discussions between the Lord of Light and the nine Sages of Light, they could only conclude that this was a manifestation of the Light's inspiration, a miracle.

Xiao Xingyi had returned to the headquarters by then and had personally experienced the incident. He knew that the Holy Hall of Light was actually forced to agree to it.

By that time, this hymn had spread among millions of priests, and these low-level priests believed from the bottom of their hearts that it was a miracle of light.

The Divine Religion couldn't possibly expel all of these millions of priests and label them heretics, could it? That would undermine the very foundations of the Divine Religion.

Moreover, judging from the situation at the time and the words of these people, it did seem like a "miracle". Finally, after discussion within the Holy Temple of Light, five people believed that the lyrics did not violate the fundamental doctrine. They could not reach a consensus and asked the King of Light for instructions, and reluctantly accepted this new hymn.

Now there are four senior saints who think this is blasphemous and want to set the record straight.

Fang Junhao pondered with a puzzled look, "Ming Zun? The brilliant holy thunder, the forerunner of all phenomena? The bright calamity fire, the source of all changes?"

"The words 'Ming Zun' were used during the time of the Seventh Patriarch. The hymns back then weren't what they are today. You'll know if you look through the scriptures. They were hidden after the Seventh Patriarch refined the Holy Thunder and Tribulation Fire. As for the Precursor of All Things and the Origin of All Changes, many priests practice the 'Ming Wang Sitting in the Lotus Contemplation' and believe that the Holy Thunder that splits the dark world and the Tribulation Fire that cleanses heaven and earth possess the Creator's power. Therefore, it can give birth to all things and can also bring all things back to one."

As Xiao Xingyi explained, his expression became even more bizarre. "I've also revisited the Ming Wang sitting on the lotus, and I found that the atmosphere is indeed very different from the previous kings sitting on the lotus. Even my own divine fire has improved slightly. I personally suspect that perhaps the abilities of the previous generations of leaders were limited, and they were unable to express the true meaning of the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire—"

He then frowned and said, "There's debate within the Divine Religion about this matter. It's said that four sages agree, believing it's natural. Our Savior, the Bright Lord, naturally has the power to create! The Lord of Light can give birth to all things and unify them. Two other sages are neutral, and three disagree, but they don't dare to object. As for the Sage Lord of Light, their stance is unclear."

At this time, eight million priests gathered inside the main temple of the Divine Religion. These low-level priests were all the most devout believers of light, and their faith in the Holy Thunder and Tribulation Fire was extremely fanatical.

At this time, even the three saints of light who had reached the ninth level of imperial cultivation did not dare to say that the Lord of Light did not have the divine power to create all things and unify all things.

Fang Junhao nodded slightly, so this was the truth.

He used to have an extremely fanatical belief in light, believing that the Lord of Light who was destined to split the darkness and cleanse the world must be omnipotent.

Fang Junhao had also studied the doctrines of the Divine Religion in depth and knew that the hymns during the time of the seventh generation leader did contain the words "Ming Zun", but that they were changed after the seventh generation's death.

This made Fang Junhao suspicious. He wondered if this new hymn was truly a miracle? A call from the light, a trace of the original source?

Fang Junhao thought that if he had the chance someday, he must see the Vajra King sitting on the lotus with his own eyes to see what it was like.

"Then where is His Royal Highness the Ming Wang?" Fang Junhao turned to look in the direction of the Great Ming Hall. "Is he handling religious affairs in the Great Ming Hall?"

He was still too lazy to talk to Xiao Xingyi, and it would be enough to learn the attitudes of several bigwigs in the sect from him.

As for the matters entrusted to him by the Regent, he still needs to discuss them with His Majesty the King.

Xiao Xingyi didn't take it seriously. His purpose of personally receiving Fang Junhao was to put pressure on this demon-suppressing envoy and make him judge the situation correctly.

He was not stupid enough to think that he could shake Fang Junhao's determination with just a few words.

"Not today." Xiao Xingyi shook his head. "Come with me. His Majesty Ming Wang is developing a cultivation base behind the main altar. Shennong Temple has cultivated and improved a new spiritual medicine based on the technical information provided by the Forest Group. Please go and inspect it."

He paused, his eyes flashing with a strange light again. "This matter is considered by the Ming King to be the most important matter of the Divine Cult. It is said that if this elixir can be cultivated on a large scale, the scope of this underground farm can be further expanded by 200 miles, and the income can be more than doubled."

Fang Junhao was slightly stunned when he heard this. He knew that the 'Shennong Holy Hall' was a new institution established by this Ming Wang.

This temple has three responsibilities: first, to directly manage the underground farm of the main altar; second, to guide and supervise the planting, animal husbandry, forestry and aquatic industries of all parishes and all incense halls; third, to imitate the extraterritorial demons and cultivate spiritual seeds with biotechnology.

Especially the last one, the reason why King Ming planned to build the Shennong Temple was also because he did not want the lifeblood of the Divine Religion to be controlled by the demons from outside the domain.

What is surprising is that the agricultural technology of Shennong Temple has been progressing at an astonishing speed. Starting four months ago, major dioceses and incense halls began to receive seeds of various spiritual medicines from Shennong Temple. It is said that the yield can exceed 30% to 50% of the previous level. If it is carefully cultivated according to the methods taught by their professors, the yield can be increased by 20%.

This is why Fang Junhao admires the Ming King.

At present, these spiritual medicine seeds have not yet entered the harvest period, but if the people in the "Shennong Temple" are not lying, then all major dioceses and incense halls will be controlled by the headquarters, allowing the headquarters to deepen its control over the dioceses and incense halls, and combined with the 800 million priests, it is simply a multi-pronged approach.

Fang Junhao wondered what kind of elixir it was that was worthy of the Ming King's attention?

He followed Xiao Xingyi into the five-story farm under the headquarters battleship and found that the current headquarters was indeed very different from when he left years ago.

The farm was bustling with activity, yet in good order. Most of the priests coming and going were energetic and bright, walking with a breeze.

The internal defenses of the headquarters were also greatly strengthened. Fang Junhao saw dozens of Type 7 and Type 8 combat robots along the way, as well as a large number of automatic turrets that integrated conceptual power.

Part of it was funded by the Demonic Heavenly Demon, and part of it was produced by the Divine Religion itself.

The armor and force field generators outside the main altar have also been greatly strengthened - this is also the work of the Divine Cult's mechanical master.

It is said that the Divine Cult acquired a large number of highly skilled mechanical engineers half a year ago, who can independently build war machines and even have the ability to manufacture warships.

The fleet under the Invincible King of Dharma has thirty starships and 800 Heavenly Demon Dragon Armors, which were all made by them.

These mechanical engineers not only provide sufficient war machinery for the cult, but have now begun to sell it abroad.

Some people suspect that these mechanical engineers obtained by the Cult may have come from the heretic prison of the Mecha Temple.

This led to a rapid deterioration in the relationship between the Mekhen Temple and the Holy Religion of Light. The Mekhen Temple has sent envoys to the Invincible Dharma King and the Ming King twice in a row to question them.

However, both the Invincible Dharma King and His Majesty the Ming King took advantage of the fact that the Temple of the God of Machinery had no time to take care of other things and were unwilling to return these mechanical engineers to the Temple of the God of Machinery.

The people in the Temple of Machine God are busy extending the life of their "Machine God" and have no time to attack the Cult of God.

The Invincible Dharma King and His Majesty the Ming King only have a dispute over the ownership of these mechanical masters.

The Invincible King of Law believes that the headquarters should transfer these heretical mechanical divisions of the Mechanical Temple to the Beisheng front to support the Beisheng Diocese in its operations.

His Majesty Ming Wang believes that these mechanical engineers are not believers of the Divine Religion and cannot be treated as such. Even if they join the Divine Religion, they will still be managed by the Mechanical Temple.

This caused the people under the Invincible Dharma King to be in an uproar and deeply dissatisfied with Li Guchan.

They also guessed that the robbery of the heretic prison in the Temple of Machine God might be related to Li Guchan.

As a result, the regent took the blame for Li Guchan, but didn't get any benefits at all. I don't know how this guy managed to allow tens of thousands of heretical mechanical engineers to be brought under the jurisdiction of the Ming King, and he kept his mouth shut and said nothing?

As for Fang Junhao himself, he agreed with everyone on the surface, but in his heart he thought that His Majesty Ming Wang had done a great job.

Although Fang Junhao didn't know how His Majesty Ming Wang did it specifically, the Divine Cult saved a lot of expenses after obtaining these mechanical engineers.

Fang Junhao and Xiao Xingyi soon arrived at the cultivation base of Shennong Temple and met the "Ming Wang".

This person was not wearing the Hidden Dragon Armor, but a light armor. He was kneeling in the field, concentrating on looking at a spiritual herb about two feet tall and completely fiery red.

Although he was still wearing a face mask, Fang Junhao still recognized his identity at first sight.

Relying solely on the divine fire body in the body, one's perception of the Seal of Light will not be wrong.

However, Fang Junhao's attention was immediately attracted by a golden-armored figure about two meters tall next to the "Ming Wang".

This person was wearing a golden demon dragon armor and a brilliant and brilliant power of light, which was as dazzling as a torch.

He stood behind the Mingwang, his whole body as motionless as a golden pillar or a rock.

"White-browed Dharma King?" Fang Junhao couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Fang Junhao always pays attention to the internal situation of the Divine Sect and knows the current situation of the White-browed Dharma King.

This person was punished by the Judgment God and must wear this set of dragon armor 'Divine Brand' every day for 50 hours for the next 10 years.

It is said that Ming Wang spent a huge amount of money to invite three top heretical mechanical masters to work together to build it for Baimei Dharma King.

This is a set of ninth-level imperial armor. However, the wearer not only has to endure the immense pain of divine fire burning, but also has 999 inverted golden needles inside that dig deep into the flesh.

What shocked Fang Junhao was that when he observed the 'White-browed Dharma King' today, he felt that his luminous power was like the vast ocean, unfathomable and profound.

Fang Junhao couldn't see the true background of this person, but when the White-browed Dharma King's eyes swept over him, he felt his heart beating fast and was secretly frightened.

Fang Junhao's subordinates had said this to him before, but Fang Junhao didn't believe it. But now he felt that his subordinates' cultivation was still insufficient and they failed to recognize the terrifying nature of this 'White-browed Dharma King'.

What happened to this person during the Battle of Tianzhou? How did he survive? Why did he gain such powerful strength?
