Chapter 439 Is the Primordial Demonic Cult the Church of Light? (3.4K views, please subscribe!)

He went on a long trip and then brought back a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord who looked like a sixteen-year-old girl?

Su Yuan, I must say, you truly live up to your reputation.

Chen Nuoyi's eyelids twitched; she felt she had a lot to say that she had to get off her chest.

However, since they were in front of outsiders, she didn't expose them. She simply nodded politely to Gui Yuan and got down to business.

"What was that shadow just now? Was it done by that Boundless Calamity Venerable?"

Su Yuan nodded and explained how Wuliang Laodeng had released one million Abyss Shadows.

Upon hearing this terrible news, Chen Nuoyi and the others who arrived later, including Wu Luo Zhenjun, all frowned.

But the next second, Su Yuan smiled and said:
"However, I have already thought of a solution, and if things go smoothly, the plan can deceive Wuliang Jiezun's intelligence network to the greatest extent possible, so that he cannot discover my special characteristics in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of curiosity.

Chen Nuoyi: "How exactly do we do it?"

Su Yuan: "Hehe, it's a bit complicated to explain in detail, but you'll see what I do next. It's definitely a win-win plan."

"However, before we can begin, I need to vaccinate you all."

The Celestial Laws World, the Ascension Platform.

The celestial envoys outside the Ascension Platform waited for nearly an hour, but Su Yuan still hadn't returned from the Celestial Realm, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"This newly appointed Governor Su has been in the Immortal Realm for quite a while."

One of the celestial messengers couldn't help but say.

Another celestial messenger guessed:

"Was it because he was promoted too quickly and gained the attention of the gods and immortals, or did something else happen?"

As they were discussing, suddenly, a radiant glow descended from the sky above the Ascension Platform, and amidst thousands of auspicious rays, two figures slowly descended from the sky to the astonishment of the celestial envoys.

One of them was none other than Su Youlin, the young governor they knew well, dressed in a purple official robe and wearing a black gauze hat.

The other figure was a blonde girl dressed in silver armor, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The moment the blonde girl appeared, a majestic divine might descended, causing all the celestial envoys to involuntarily lower their heads.

But it was that fleeting glimpse that allowed them to recognize the blonde girl.

Because this image is so deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Statues of this girl can be found everywhere on the continent of Middle Continent.

She is none other than the founder of the Holy Law Governing Council, the guardian deity of the Heavenly Law World, and the Holy Law Heavenly Lord.

This person has actually descended to the mortal realm! What exactly happened in the upper realm?
Within seconds of the Holy Law Celestial Lord's arrival, the celestial officials in the core circle of the Central Continent rushed towards the Ascension Platform at top speed.

They were all top-three officials who were rarely seen in ordinary times, and were very important figures in the Heavenly Law World. Among them were many Nascent Soul stage experts.

"Welcome, Heavenly Emperor."

Among the many celestial officials, an elderly man stood at the very front and was the first to bow to the Holy Law Heavenly Lord.

The other celestial officials followed closely behind, and for a moment the sounds of welcoming them were deafening, almost echoing throughout half of the Central Continent.

"Be flat."

Gui Yuan glanced at the assembled celestial officials, sensing the unmistakable stench of money emanating from them, and her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

At the same time, she sighed inwardly.

The transformation of the celestial official system of one's dreams into this monstrous state is certainly due to human greed, but even more so to the indulgence of the Holy Law Council.

The distorted and corrupt system of celestial officials is like a piece of rotten flesh on a person's body, difficult to remove.

The good news is that the Immortal Realm, which was occupied by the Boundless Calamity Venerable, has left, and she has plenty of time to change the current system of celestial officials... But before that, she still needs to use these people to solve the problem of the Shadow of the Abyss.

"Everyone, a serious upheaval has occurred in the Immortal Realm. Extraterrestrial demons have breached the Immortal Realm's blockade and unleashed a plague that will corrupt the entire world upon the Heavenly Law World."

"My purpose in coming here is to deal with the plague and to vaccinate the people of the world against it."

"Therefore, I hope that all officials, from the top to the bottom, will be mobilized to eradicate the stubborn disease that is about to take root in the world of Heavenly Law."

Gui Yuan spoke solemnly, explaining the dangers of the Shadow of the Abyss in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

The group of celestial officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

A dramatic upheaval in the Celestial Realm? A plague? A vaccine?

Why didn't they notice anything?
"We will naturally follow the Heavenly Emperor's orders, but we would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed and how to promote the so-called vaccine."

The old man, who was the head of all the celestial officials, asked respectfully.

Gui Yuan raised her finger and pointed at the young man beside her.

“Su Youlin is the person I chose. He secretly founded a new sect called Yuanjiao.”

"From this day forward, the Yuan Sect will be the only orthodox sect officially designated by the Heavenly Law World. Regardless of their current beliefs, all people in the world must convert to or concurrently believe in the Yuan Sect as soon as possible."

"Those who become members of the Yuan Cult will have the opportunity to receive vaccinations and become immune to plagues from beyond the realm."

Upon hearing this, all the celestial officials turned their gazes to Su Yuan, staring in shock at this seemingly ordinary fourth-rank celestial official.

Facing the incredulous gazes of the assembled celestial officials, Su Yuan smiled slightly, removed his mask in front of everyone, revealing his true face and his true cultivation level:

"Everyone, Su Youlin is just an identity I use to investigate the world. You can call me by my real name, Su Yuan."

"If you're willing to give me face, you can call me Master Su... or even Pope."

Among the assembled celestial officials, a middle-aged man with a square face and a rank of the third grade was the most shocked.

He was the uncle of Huai Lingwei, the female examiner of the previous Immortal Official Examination, and it was through his connections that Su Yuan was able to quickly make contact with the Deputy Transport Commissioner of the Eastern Continent. Therefore, he was probably the person who knew Su Youlin the most, knowing that there might be a Nascent Soul level power behind him.

But he never expected that this guy was actually an informant secretly planted in the lower realm by the Holy Law Heavenly Lord, and he never expected that this boy would transform into the leader of the number one sect in the Heavenly Law World in just a few months!

This...this is just too outrageous.

He must be dreaming.

Besides being shocked, the celestial officials couldn't help but feel strong doubts.

The sudden arrival of the Holy Law Heavenly Lord, and the sudden emergence of the Yuan Sect, an officially designated orthodox religious sect—it all seemed so sudden, almost like a hoax.

Are these two people in front of me not some extraterrestrial demons in disguise?
Noticing the doubts in the eyes of the celestial officials, Gui Yuan, who already disliked these corrupt officials, turned cold.

The next instant, a pressure ten times stronger than before descended upon the assembled immortal officials.

Those high-ranking officials, especially those in the Nascent Soul stage, felt completely paralyzed, as if the blonde girl in front of them could crush them with a single thought.

Without a doubt, this is the oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator; it cannot be faked.

For a moment, the hearts of all the celestial officials were filled with bitterness.

Regardless of whether the Holy Law Heavenly Lord in front of them is real or fake, or whether he is an extraterrestrial demon in disguise, as long as he is a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator, do they have any room to resist?

This world is ultimately a world where the strong rule.

The fact that the Holy Law Heavenly Lord descended from the Ascension Platform without any reaction from the Celestial Realm suggests that either he is truly the head of the Holy Law Governing Council, or something has already happened in the Celestial Realm that leaves him with no time to spare.

Without the support of the Immortal Realm, even if all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the world were combined, they might not be able to shake a Deity Transformation cultivator in the slightest; they would only become the opponent's snacks before or after meals.

In that case, following one's heart is the only option.

"I will obey."

The elder in the lead respectfully agreed and granted Guiyuan's request in full.

Seeing the group of celestial officials who outwardly obeyed but inwardly disagreed, Gui Yuan didn't force them to carry out the orders. Instead, she sincerely explained the reasons to them:
“I know this order came suddenly, and I know many of you don’t believe me.”

“But I didn’t say a single falsehood. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the evidence right here.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Yuan.

Having already used the 'Demon Sky Divine Thunder' to gain control of the area surrounding the Ascension Platform, Su Yuan immediately raised his finger and pointed at the five high-ranking officials of the second and third ranks present.

"Have five people already been killed?"

Gui Yuan sighed softly, raised her palm, and five golden rays immediately shot out from her fingertips, piercing through the chests of the five celestial officials in an instant.

The other celestial officials stirred, just as they thought that the Holy Law Heavenly Lord was preparing to eliminate dissidents, they saw that the bodies of the five celestial officials suddenly underwent a strange change.

Dark shadows appeared on their pierced chests, shadows that resembled tentacles, intertwining and quickly healing their wounds.

As soon as the shadow appeared, the five celestial officials, who had been somewhat bewildered, suddenly turned their eyes to a scarlet glint of ferocity and charged at the celestial officials around them without regard for anything else.

"die!"

Gui Yuan spoke solemnly, and as her cold voice rang out, the five celestial officials froze, collapsed to the ground, and died without a trace.

Moments later, their bodies turned into a pool of mud and vanished.

After the shadow dissipated, the object encased within was revealed to the assembled celestial officials.

Those were mutilated corpses, seemingly encased in highly corrosive gastric juices, already partially digested—the very remains of these five celestial officials.

Upon seeing this, Su Yuan was slightly startled, realizing that the Abyss Shadow's devouring and replacement of its original body involved a digestion process.

Seeing the miserable state of their colleagues, the celestial officials were immediately horrified and instinctively moved away.

"The plague has begun to spread. If you don't want yourself and your family and friends to one day turn into monsters that look exactly like your original form, please get vaccinated as soon as possible."

Gui Yuan said coldly:

"The celestial officials of Central Continent were the first to receive the vaccine."

"Of course, this is not because you hold high positions or because your lives are more precious than others, but simply because the damage you cause to the world after becoming monsters is more severe."

This time, the celestial officials became more proactive than ever before.

"Holy Law Heavenly Lord, I and my Quan Yuan join the Yuan Sect!"

“I am willing to donate 100,000 spiritual coins to the Yuan Sect free of charge, not for any other reason than to contribute to the epidemic prevention work.”

"Pope Su Yuan, do you still remember me? I am Huai Lingwei's uncle. Could I please let Ling'er and me cut in line a little?"

Seeing the celestial officials, some speaking with righteous indignation, others generously donating money, and still others eagerly trying to curry favor, Su Yuan revealed a satisfied smile.

It feels so good to have a Nascent Soul cultivator as your patron.

A system of celestial officials?

That's just a path to advancement for ordinary people; those with connections become popes directly.

With the trend of the entire Tianlu World converting to the Yuan Sect, the mission of "The Lord of the Yuan Sect is Here" should be completed soon.

Speaking of which... wouldn't this practice of forcing the whole world to believe in a demonic cult lead to the emergence of resistance forces?

Could it be that the script the Yuan Sect received is the Holy See of Light, which is spread throughout the myriad worlds in old novels?
And he, the Pope, usually becomes the final boss that the protagonist, a protagonist with an overpowered personality, defeats.

That sounds a little exciting!
Of course, Su Yuan would never allow any overpowered protagonist to appear.

It's time to take advantage of the official number one religion and wipe out all those families with the surnames Ye, Long, and Shi. They'll be so powerful they'll break the yolks!

Jie Jie Jie!
