From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 17 The Church with 99% Malice

The Godhood of Lies is inside Bai Yang's body, so this crystal, as part of the Godhood, can be easily perceived by him.

Therefore, Bai Yang easily saw what happened to the Divine Crystal during this period.

In fact, the matter was not as complicated as he had imagined, nor was it as dramatic.

Just a week ago, at the moment she came into this world, Sister Caroline Olsen, after finishing a busy day's work, found this special crystal in the church.

After all, it is a divine crystal; even without any power, its beauty is breathtaking.

This is a crystal that is far more translucent than diamonds, and it looks very dazzling.

Caroline chose to bring the crystal back because of the light it emitted under the streetlights.

As for the faith involved, it was actually a unique discovery made by the girl.

She was surprised to find that the crystal would become brighter when she was praying, but when she turned off the light, the brightness seemed to disappear.

She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she wanted to figure it out, so she would point at this thing every time she prayed.

"Faith can awaken fragments of divinity, but because the rules and tone of faith are not right, it cannot remain in the fragments."

Alvin explained to Bai Yang the reason why this had happened.

"So, if I change the direction of their faith and make their prayers truly go in the right direction, can I make it a faith or a collection of willpower?" Bai Yang asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty, you possess such power!” Alvin nodded slowly.

He already understood what Bai Yang wanted to do, so he took the initiative to suggest, "But in order to prevent problems from arising along the way, you may need to leave a special mark to become an extension of your will."

Bai Yang nodded. Of course, this kind of thing should be done. There is no such thing as the extraordinary in this world, or rather, he is the extraordinary himself.

He is the Dao Ancestor, the Primordial God, and he is both One and Myriad. To prevent things from going awry, it is essential to ensure that all power remains under his watchful gaze and monitoring.

Therefore, he placed this special crystal on his chest, in the position of the "Godhood of Lies," and began to slowly activate his own authority.

"Your Majesty, you need to remove the essence of falsehood from it and then engrave the qualities you desire! Of course, these qualities are still falsehoods now!"

Bai Yang understood what he meant. Even if he had set many plans and established a grand scheme, what was fake was still fake and could not be turned into real.

In the pantheon of gods, turning falsehood into truth is not difficult, but since he is not even a god now, the difficulty is naturally very high.

Bai Yang knew this too; he was just making a design to leave a memento.

Ascending to godhood is a momentous event, so momentous that even he is powerless to accomplish it.

But everything he does now is preparation for ascending to godhood. If he succeeds in ascending to godhood one day, these plans will transform from deceptive and misleading actions into genuine and effective "divine inspiration."

In other words, it could also be described as "divine dissipation," depending solely on the magnitude of its power.

"Alvin, you must understand that we live in a world where the extraordinary no longer exists, miracles are nonexistent, and mysteries are nowhere to be found. Therefore, everything we do in this world is real!"

Bai Yang said to Alvin, "Alvin is good in every way, except that he's too narrow-minded."

They always think about guaranteeing a minimum return or pursuing the most stable way to earn income.

Bai Yang didn't want this. He felt that this was his best opportunity. If he followed the God of Lies' method step by step, he could indeed become a god, but that would be the end of his journey.

Then all his time travel would have been for nothing!
Having thoroughly read various online novels about behind-the-scenes manipulators, Bai Yang clearly knew that the God of Lies and this almost blank world were his best cheat codes.

If he can't build a solid foundation here, he'll feel like he's worthless.

Ignore the doubts of the world. When the extraordinary manifests itself, all doubts will transform into unwavering faith and worship in the true power of the extraordinary!
What was that saying again? "After entering the pass, great Confucian scholars will help me debate the classics."

With the emergence of the extraordinary, everything naturally revolves around it! The previous church incident and the handling of the Red Mansion were merely minor skirmishes. This crystal, however, is the first step Bai Yang should take in his design!
With these thoughts in mind, Bai Yang gradually channeled what he was thinking into the crystal in his hand.

He erased everything that belonged to lies, which was necessary, since that was their main purpose in coming here.

Now, even if the gods from another world arrive at this time, they will have lost the ability to track him down.

Beside him, Sister Caroline was still praying very devoutly to the "crystal" in front of her, completely unaware that the crystal had already disappeared.

She couldn't realize it because Bai Yang had deceived the surrounding space, making her believe that everything was still proceeding as usual.

But what she didn't see was that Bai Yang's gaze towards her was already filled with much thought and inquiry.

Through his understanding of the crystal over the past week and his exploration of the girl's mind, Bai Yang learned her identity.

Caroline Olsen was a very typical nun.

She came from the Olson family in Los Angeles. Originally a noblewoman of the family, she was sent to a church in San Diego to become a nun due to a family succession dispute.

Nuns are forbidden from having children throughout their lives, so they naturally have no offspring and therefore no right of inheritance.

Caroline didn't care about this matter, after all, she wasn't very close to her father, and after Old Deng seized power and died, the family didn't do anything to her.

She had no intention of going back to reclaim her inheritance; instead, due to her mother's teachings, she became a devout believer.

That's why she didn't fit in with most of the people in the church.

For example, there was the bishop who liked little boys, and the priest who greedily reached his hands inside and outside the church. Of course, there were also some monks who used the name of God to commit crimes.

Rather than a church for spiritual practice and faith, it is more accurate to describe it as a sinful place filled with desire and greed!

"If you really have a master, wouldn't you send down divine punishment when you see this?" Bai Yang quipped.

He had initially thought that the fat priest's liking for little boys was just a ridiculous joke, but it actually happened right before his eyes.

This kind of hellish joke actually came to life in this church, which is what made Bai Yang so astonished!

In addition, he saw a nun having an affair, a deacon making deals with believers, and a priest who, though called a believer, was actually praying with cult members for successful drug trafficking...

Looking at the church, which, apart from Caroline, could be described as "all villains," Bai Yang laughed!

"I was actually a little reluctant to do this, but now it seems like I'm being too compassionate!"

He shook his head, placed the crystal back in front of Sister Caroline, and strode out of the church.

Caroline, who had just finished praying, looked at the crystal in front of her and suddenly felt a little lost.

"Lord...is this truly a revelation from You? Then why are the sinners not punished, while the innocent are crying out in despair..."

She pursed her lips, hoping to gain some insight.

Then, she saw the previously motionless crystal suddenly emit a tranquil "white light".

She habitually turned off the light. This white light had appeared before, but she had verified that it was just a reflection of the light.

But as the lights went out and the room went completely dark, the white light that she thought would disappear was still shining!

“Ah…” Caroline stared wide-eyed at the crystal and knelt down to pray.

"Lord...you really heard my prayers..."
