The female disciples who had bad intentions towards me started fighting among themselves

Her appearance alarmed the entire Vatican, and officials worked non-stop overnight to investigate her origins.

The final result is also very simple.

She was an abandoned baby who was adopted by a mortal teacher from the human race. Now she was studying with her master in a private school in a remote town, teaching young children how to read and write.

When the monks of the Vatican came to her, the girl's eyes were full of fear. She hid behind her master. Her master, a mortal, stood in front of her. She faced several ministers of the Vatican who ordinary people would hardly meet in their lifetime.

The ministers explained to him the reason, saying that the Pope wanted to make an exception and appoint her as the Goddess of Destiny.

That status is hundreds or thousands of times more honorable than that of a teacher in a remote town.

I believe that as long as you are not a fool, you will probably know how to choose.

But the girl had no interest in the identity of the Pope. She just looked at her master and asked for his opinion.

However, the ordinary man in white who had no cultivation at all did not panic at all when facing several monks with terrifying aura. He remained extremely calm and treated them as normal guests.

He told the ministers that the matter was a bit sudden and he needed to discuss it with his apprentice and ask for her opinion.

The girl was unwilling at first.

After all, what place could be better than home?

For her, it was her master who picked her up and raised her, and wherever her master was was her home - even if it was just a simple stone house.

As for the Pope?

not interested.

But after a long time, her master took her out for a while. After seeing the displaced refugees and the hungry people, and seeing a side that the girl had never seen before, the girl changed her mind.

No one knew what her master said to her or what principles she taught her, but one day, the girl walked to the gate of the Demon Palace alone and said she wanted to meet the Pope.

She had only one request.

That is not to change the name.

Because her name was given to her by her master. In this world, only the person who gave her life can give her a name. This person is her master, not the Holy See.

So from now on, no one can change this unique name that belongs to her alone.

The Pope at that time was very surprised.

He didn't expect the girl's request to be so... incredible.

After pondering for a long time, the Pope agreed to her request.

This also made him the only Pope in the entire history of the Demon Cult who was not named "Ji".

Therefore, this became the biggest point of opposition in the entire Vatican at the time. Countless ministers used this reason to attack the God of Destiny, and it was only because of the Pope's consistent guarantee that no trouble was caused.

Siming is not playful. She likes to stay alone in the library for a whole day, reading about the origins of history and watching the games of wise men from ancient times to the present.

She is very smart and learns quickly. She is also very kind in dealing with people, like a wise ruler.

Just like that, the original attacks on her in the court became less and less, and in the end, only a few scattered people were still unwilling to accept it.

Among them was the archbishop at the time.

After taking the throne, she did a great job, pacifying the four seas and eight wildernesses, turning the tide of the war when they were at a disadvantage with the gods, and spreading the reputation of the demons far and wide across the continent.

However, no one expected that everything would change so quickly.

......

"are you sure?"

The Pope narrowed his eyebrows and looked forward coldly. The indifference and peace in his eyes were gone, and they were filled with murderous intent.

"Are you sure it was these people...who forced my master to death?"

She asked softly, her tone like ice that had frozen for tens of millions of years.

This is her third month of staying indoors.

The spy in front of him knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"Your Holiness, there are indeed rumors among the people that your master trained you to be..."

As he spoke, the spy fell silent.

He did not dare to say aloud the insults those people said about the Pope.

"speak out."

The Pope said coldly: "I don't blame you. Repeat to me exactly what they said."

"Yes."

The spy took a deep breath and said:

"They say that your master is a demon who trained a tyrant like you. The current war between gods and demons has left nine out of ten houses in Nanposo Continent empty. Basically, all the young and strong men have either died on the battlefield or are still serving in the army."

"Now that food production has dropped sharply, people have begun to...fight over food."

The Pope listened in silence.

"Among the common people, he was the only one who defended you and told you your difficulties. They heard from some unknown channel that Mr. Jingyan was the master before the current Pope. In the end, the monks who opposed you couldn't stand it and strangled him. So not long after..."

"And he died."

"Oh."

The Pope nodded, his voice neither happy nor sad.

"Do you know what to do?"

"Yes, Your Holiness, we have captured the monk. How do you want to deal with him?"

"What monk?"

The Pope smiled doubtfully.

"It seems that he is not the only one who forced my master to death."

"I don't want to keep anyone who said anything bad about my master."

"Didn't you say I'm a tyrant? It seems that doing this will make my tyrannical side more apparent......"

"do you think so?"

210. The Pope (VII)

Because the current Pope emphasizes military power, she has a high reputation in the military system. However, in the eyes of civil officials, the difference between the current Pope and the former Pope is not a little bit.

Therefore, although on the surface those civil officials were respectful to the Pope, they were secretly denouncing the tyrants.

The Pope has always been in a good mood.

She had never lost her temper in front of the Vatican, and except for foreign enemies from the God Clan, she seldom killed anyone. This was the consensus of all the ministers of the Demon Cult's Vatican.

They cursed before, and they curse now, even louder and louder, spreading their condemnation among the people, claiming that the current Pope is just a madman who only knows war.

Even up to this point, the Pope has not cared about them.

Because she is very busy every day and has a lot of things to deal with. War is not an easy thing. Food, supplies, and coordinated mobilization of troops have already filled the Pope's time.

So even if she knew what was circulating in the market, the Pope had no intention of intervening, because she felt that as long as she had a clear conscience, that was enough.

History will judge everything.

Most of the civil servants came from long-standing wealthy and powerful families. They were already very dissatisfied with the Pope, whose surname was not "Ji", not to mention that after she ascended the throne, she fought against the vassal kings and reduced the influence of the families. All of this made her a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the wealthy and powerful families.

If only she were as obedient as the pope before her.

All the noble families think so.

For them, the invasion of foreign enemies is not the top priority. The most important thing is how to consolidate their family's power and reputation in Nanposo Continent.

Pens, ink, paper and inkstone are the most hurtful.

So, they came up with this idea, spreading rumors about the current Pope's bad reputation in the streets, hoping to make her surrender and make her realize that even though she is the Pope, the right to speak and public opinion are still in the hands of civil servants and the aristocratic families.

This war has lasted too long. Now there is no threat to Nanposo Continent anymore. The gods have retreated to Zhongzhou, which is the territory of the human race. What does it have to do with Nanposo Continent?

Why should we kill all the gods? After all, only interests are the most real.

At the same time, they wanted the Pope to realize that the power of military generals should be reduced. Only civil officials were the pillars of the cult. The greatest value those crude warriors could produce was to die on the battlefield. As for the rest... what was the use?

They are just here to fight for power and profit.

Facts have proved that the noble family did a very good job. The Pope's notoriety gradually spread throughout the world, and peace was restored in South Posa Continent. The people no longer worshipped the Pope as they did during the war.

Because of the tax issues caused by years of war, they began to miss the previous Pope.

The Pope who allowed the gods to invade and conquer South Posa Continent.

Just as the noble families were preparing to celebrate with a feast and toasts, the gentle Pope suddenly changed.

A purge that no one expected happened quietly.

......

Initially, only a few civil officials in the Vatican who were committed to promoting this matter were invited to the Demon Palace in the middle of the night.

At first they were panic-stricken.

But when they saw that there were several ministers traveling with them, they finally put their minds at ease.

After all, they are all important officials in the Vatican. Although they are not all-powerful, they should not be underestimated, even after the Pope has reduced the influence of civil officials.

Their descendants and disciples are all over the southern continent.

The Pope didn't dare to kill them.

Because once they are killed, the entire Vatican will fall into chaos, everyone will be in danger, and their reputation will cause the Pope to be attacked by everyone and suffer unimaginable pressure.

At the same time, they are the heads of several major families. The families are deeply rooted in Nanposo Continent and are more difficult to eradicate than the vassal kings. Once they take action against the families, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

This was unacceptable to the Demon Cult, which had just recovered from the chaos of war.

They were certain that the Pope would not dare to kill them, and now inviting them into the Demon Palace was a request for peace and to give up power.

A confident smile appeared on their lips.

Until they met the Pope.

The Pope has not attended a Vatican meeting for three months.

Rumor has it that her master died and she was too sad.

It's ridiculous.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Her master is just a mortal, a Pope who is high and mighty in Nanposo Continent. How could he care about an ordinary mortal and be overly sad for him?

What's more, this mortal was her former teacher. For her, this should be a dark history that cannot be told to outsiders, right?

After all, no one wants others to know about their past miserable history.

Death was exactly what she wished for.

The current Pope is no longer as high and mighty as before. She kneels in the hall, wearing a simple white dress and no makeup on her face, but her stunning beauty cannot be suppressed.

But her face was pale, and she held a long knife in her slender white fingers. She lowered her eyebrows, looked closely, and stared at the unsheathed blade with trembling eyelashes, without moving.

"Why did the Pope ask me to come here?"

The leading minister showed no respect at all, he said in a shocking voice.

So what if it's the Pope? He can't stand the pressure and has to succumb to the aristocratic families?

"Scripture says."

The Pope spoke slowly.

"Have you heard of this name?"

The leading minister was stunned, and his face was full of confusion when he heard this name he had never heard of before.

A minister behind him pulled his sleeve and whispered, "It looks like the Pope's dead teacher."

"That mortal?"

He did not lower his voice, but said calmly: "Pope, the life span of mortals is limited, so please do not be too sad."
