I was the Founding Father of the United States

Chapter 174 Divine Revelation (4,000 words)

Chen Wenbin sat on the sofa, his gaze meeting the eyes of each of the six people, sensing their emotions: excitement, admiration, unease, and hidden doubts.

He knew that these people didn't really believe in his prophetic identity.

Even Davis and David Klein, who seemed to trust him completely, were only so because Davis was mentally unstable, and David Klein was simply grateful for his life-saving grace.

Of the other four, John Smith and David Jones were implicated because of his boss status, Reverend Jason because of their friendship, and lawyer Arendt Marvin didn't even try to hide his suspicions.

This is not surprising, as Chen Wenbin was previously a doctor, an inventor, and a scientist, which seems to have nothing to do with being a prophet.

More importantly, these four people are all intelligent individuals and social elites; it's impossible for them to completely believe him just because he claims to be a prophet.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. He sighed and said calmly, "—Gentlemen, I know some of you still doubt whether I have truly received divine revelation."

He looked at Attorney Marvin, raised his hand, and smiled faintly, "Arendt, you don't need to worry. I understand your caution regarding your faith. If you believe me without the slightest doubt, then I would question whether you possess the character of honesty!"

This magnanimous statement made David Jones and John Smith look somewhat uneasy. They didn't actually believe that their boss had received divine revelation and become a prophet; they were just flattering him.

Attorney Marvin, somewhat ashamed, still insisted, "Sir! I truly respect you! And I am willing to offer you my utmost loyalty, but as you said, I cannot easily change my beliefs—unless you demonstrate a true miracle to me!"

Chen Wenbin laughed heartily, not wanting to miss this opportunity to develop believers. He nodded and looked at the middle-aged lawyer, asking seriously, "So, Arendt, what exactly is this miracle you're talking about?"

Could it be turning water into wine, or walking barefoot on the water and conjuring up an endless supply of cakes and fish?

These are all miracles of Jesus Christ recorded in the Bible, which any Christian knows. Upon hearing this, Attorney Marvin quickly shook his head and said, "No! No! Sir, I do not ask you to repeat the miracles in the Bible."

Since you have received divine revelation to establish a new church, then there must be at least one truly miraculous creation, as well as new doctrines, sacraments, and the church's mission—I don't know these things yet, so I cannot join your church!

After listening, Chen Wenbin nodded and said, "This was indeed my oversight."

He pointed to Davis on his right, who had been patiently holding back from speaking.

"My energy was limited before, so I told John most of the divine revelation, and he was responsible for recording and organizing the new doctrines of the church and establishing the sacraments."

As for the Church's mission, I have said it many times—we need to guide humanity towards a bright future, not allow demons and their followers to corrupt humanity and lead it towards darkness and depravity!

John Davis immediately stood up, went to Marvin, looked him over for a few seconds, and then said seriously, "Mr. Marvin! You shouldn't doubt Robin! Because his very existence is a miracle!"

Who could be the greatest doctor in the world to discover allicin, aspirin, malfi, and berberine hydrochloride in a year and a half?

Who could create more than a dozen inventions in a year, such as a new type of spinning machine, a new type of sewing machine, and a flying shear sailboat, and become a millionaire with hundreds of thousands of pounds?

Who, after accumulating such immense wealth, remains unswayed by money and continues to provide ordinary workers and employees with generous salaries, affordable housing, medical care, and pension benefits?

Who could become a guest of honor of the King of England and the King of France, and instead not linger in the prosperous but decadent London and Paris, but instead invest most of their wealth in the development of the West and the introduction of immigrants?

Did Robin not know that if he stayed in London and Paris, he could become a celebrity sought after by all the nobles and gain more power and wealth?

Do not!

he knows!

But without any hesitation, he resolutely chose to return to the New World and set about establishing a church of God and a new home for the chosen people in the West!

Because he was God's chosen agent, because he clearly understood his mission, he was able to resist temptations that ordinary people could hardly resist, and he was not seduced by the demons behind money and power—he refused to associate with the fallen!

After he finished speaking, not only lawyer Arendt Marvin, but also Reverend Jason and the other two changed their gazes toward Chen Xianzhi—yes!

Their boss did indeed create one miracle after another in a short period of time. Is such an achievement really something that ordinary people can accomplish?

After listening, Chen Wenbin couldn't help but admire Davis. This guy truly lived up to his reputation as a professional pastor; he managed to piece together various facts and attribute his achievements to a divinely bestowed halo.

Alright! With such a helpful assist, he certainly had to make the most of it. Facing everyone's gaze, he solemnly and compassionately addressed them, saying, "Since I arrived in Europe last January, the revelations I've received have become increasingly clear—that voice told me that this is a continent profoundly influenced by demonic power!"

Khorne, one of the four great demons of Chaos, or War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, has just completed one of his harvests. The souls of many who died in the Seven Years' War were twisted by his violent magic and will forever suffer the torment of war and slaughter in his warp realm.

Khorne has now temporarily relinquished the dining table, handing it over to the demons who represent corruption, intrigue, and plague.

If nothing unexpected happens, Europe will be dominated by intrigue, hedonism, and plague for the next thirty years!

A large-scale war is unlikely to break out, because Khorne has already extended his reach to the New World of North America!

And the one who told me all this, the true protector of mankind, the Son of God, has stopped protecting the European continent and North America because of the great decrease in truly devout believers!

The tragedy that occurred in the East a hundred years ago is about to be repeated in Europe and North America!

I come from the East, and my ancestors and I know all too well the methods of these chaotic demons!

At that time, the Ming Dynasty in the East was also filled with a large number of believers in demons!

The upper-class nobles and scholars seduced by the corrupted demon Slaanesh and the scheming demon T'enchi; the barbarians and border generals who believed in the war demon Khorne; the common people tormented by the plague unleashed by the plague demon Nurgle —

From 1566 to 1662, after over a century of meticulous planning, the four demons of chaos finally led the entire Eastern Empire into corruption and destruction!

This was the first time Chen Wenbin had told others about the magical version of Eastern history, so everyone listened very attentively, especially John Davis, whose eyes lit up. He excitedly clapped his hands and shouted, "Robin! I know that the Eastern Empire is now ruled by a group of Tatars. It turns out they are the followers of the devil!"

No wonder you insist on bringing in immigrants from the East. It must be because the people of the East have already suffered the torment and suffering of the devil, and hate the devil's followers even more!

They are less likely to be tempted or corrupted by demons!

You're such a clever little devil!

Chen Wenbin nodded in agreement, acknowledging his assumption, and said in a somber tone, "Yes! Only those who have personally experienced the terror of demons can possess stronger resistance to them, just like my family."

But the East has been ruled by the devil's lackeys for a hundred years. Many people have accepted the chaos in their hearts, regarded themselves as slaves of the devil's lackeys, and even distorted many good habits and virtues.

For example, some people may not wear the traditional clothing of Eastern civilization or clothing approved by God, but instead insist on wearing the clothes of the devil's lackeys and keeping the hairstyle of the devil's lackeys.

For example, some people do not abide by morality and discipline, and even learn the habits of evil lackeys, harming their own families.

If repeated education fails to make such people repent and awaken, then the only option is to let them gradually erase the demonic imprint on their souls through arduous labor!

Therefore, we must also discern; not all Easterners can return to the correct faith.

Davis thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying, "Robin, you are right. Not everyone can hold on to their beliefs in adversity. After all, people as outstanding as you are only a very small minority!"

Ah, it seems I need to find Mr. William Jones from the University of America to learn Chinese!

In four months, the first group of immigrants from the East will arrive in North America, and I will personally go to save their souls!

Chen Wenbin encouraged him, "Then I'll have to trouble you! John, God is pleased with your piety!"

Davis shook his head and said, "This is my mission and responsibility! I also want to learn from the people of the East how to deal with demonic forces."

Robin, why don't you tell us how your ancestors fought against the forces of chaos, and why they failed? I think this can teach us a lesson and prevent us from being defeated by demons!

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

David Jones, not wanting Davis to surpass him and become the boss's most trusted man, quickly said, "You haven't told us your family history in detail yet? Are your ancestors knights who fought against demonic forces in the East?"

John Smith added, "Your Excellency is an Eastern nobleman, whose ancestor married a esteemed princess of the Ming Dynasty. I imagine your family must be more than just knights; they must be bishops who fight demons specifically for the royal family!"

What does this have to do with anything?!

Chen Wenbin thought helplessly, "They claim to be knights who fight against demons, but why don't they say that the Chen family are royal demon hunters who specialize in catching vampires—no, zombies?"

The Chen family has been farmers for generations. Who knows what the Chen family did at the end of the Ming Dynasty?

However, he couldn't say that, so his brain went into overdrive and started working at high speed. Then, with a look of reminiscence and sadness, he slowly shook his head and said, "—No, my ancestors were not knights, nor were they noble exorcists who served the royal family. Although my ancestors once married a royal woman, by the time of my great-grandfather, my family had completely lost its official positions and titles and became the leaders of a secret school that guarded the East."

In the East, we call ourselves the Mohists.

This is a school of thought with a history of two thousand years, founded around the same time as Plato and Aristotle.

At our peak, relying on our correct beliefs and the study of natural laws, we invented many creations that were ahead of their time.

For example, airplanes that can carry people into the sky, steam-powered vehicles, and devices that can transmit sound over distances of miles.

But in the repeated battles against the forces of evil, these creations, and even the history of the Mohist organization, were destroyed and altered by the tyrants and barbarian rulers supported by the demons, leaving only the correct faith in God to continue to circulate in secret.

In fact, many indigenous sectarian beliefs in the East were jointly established by our Mohist school and other ancient schools of thought.

Because in many cases, the public dissemination of beliefs about the Jade Emperor will attract the attention of demonic forces, thus leading to attacks.

Therefore, those sages could only use the names of different sects to ensure the spread of the correct faith. The reason I consider myself a believer in God is because the Christian concept of the Creator is the same as our belief in the Supreme God of Heaven.

The only difference is that the scriptures formed after Moses and other prophets and the Son of God spread their faith in Canaan are different from ours.

He had already shared these ideas with everyone before. Because Christianity believes that God created all things and all races, it is only natural that humans in the East were also created by God, and that there would be churches and organizations in the East that believe in God. This is perfectly reasonable in the eyes of Christians.

"—These are all very old things. It's unclear whether the Mohist materials my great-grandfather obtained were all altered, but the general situation should be correct."

Chen Wenbin picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said, "The history that I am more familiar with and convinced of is that in 1566, four demons launched another collective invasion of the East!"

First, just like the previous invasion steps, the demons' first step was to destroy people's faith in the Jade Emperor.

They first lured thinkers and scholars to abandon their reverence for God, proclaiming "My mind is the universe," thus removing people's faith in God and encouraging them to become wicked, treacherous believers who relentlessly pursue their own interests and power!

With faith destroyed, the struggle between nobles and elites lost its principles, and as the saying goes, high moral standards became increasingly scarce in society.

In the end, those who uphold their conscience and bottom line the most will be the ones who suffer the most setbacks and exclusion!

Because the ruling class of the entire country, from top to bottom, has been largely corrupted by the Chaos Demons, they distrust and consume each other, preferring to collude with barbarians to attack their rivals.

Combined with the plague created by the demon Nurgle, the behemoth that was the Ming Empire was eroded by Chaos around 1640. First, the peasant rebel leader breached the capital, and then the peasant rebels were defeated by a small number of barbarians who believed in Khorne, who established the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty, which now rules the East, has become a hell dominated by demonic forces!

If we do nothing, at the latest in ten years, North America will also be engulfed in a brutal war, guided and instigated by the Khorne and the Pagan demons!

All current indications suggest that the war is most likely between Britain and the homeland forces of North America—which is why I want to establish a new home and territory in the west.

We cannot stop the war; the best course of action is to temporarily retreat to the west and accumulate strength.
