From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 17: The 99% Malicious Church

The Divine Spark of Lies resided within Bai Yang's body, so this crystal, being part of the Divine Spark, could be easily sensed by him.

Therefore, Bai Yang effortlessly saw what had happened to the Divine Spark crystal during this period.

In fact, this matter wasn't as convoluted as he had imagined, nor was it particularly melodramatic.

Just one week ago, at the moment he arrived in this world, a nun named Caroline Olson, after finishing her busy day's work, found this special crystal inside the church.

After all, it was a Divine Spark crystal. Even without any power, its beauty was utterly captivating.

This was a crystal far more transparent and brilliant than diamond, appearing incredibly dazzling to the eye.

And Caroline had chosen to bring it back precisely because of the light it emitted under the streetlamp.

As for the faith within it, that was actually the girl's special discovery.

She was surprised to find that when she performed her usual prayers, the crystal would become slightly brighter, but when she turned off the lights, this brightness seemed to have never appeared at all.

She didn't know if this was her imagination, but wanting to understand it, she would aim her prayers toward this object every time."Faith can awaken fragments of the Divine Spark, but because the structure and foundation of the faith are incorrect, it cannot remain within the fragment," Alvin explained, clarifying the reason this situation occurred for Bai Yang.

"Then if I change the direction of faith, making their prayers truly correct, could it become a faith or Wish Force collector?" Bai Yang asked.

"Yes, Your Grace, you possess such power!" Alvin slowly nodded.

He had already understood what Bai Yang wanted to do, so he proactively suggested, "But to prevent issues during the process, you may need to imprint a special mark, making it an extension of your will."

Bai Yang nodded. Of course, such things needed to be done. This world had no supernatural elements, or rather, he was the supernatural itself.

He was the Dao Ancestor, he was the Primordial God, he was the One and the Many. To prevent things from getting out of control, he naturally needed to ensure all power remained under his watchful gaze and monitoring.

Therefore, he placed this special crystal against his chest, at the position of the "Divine Spark of Lies," and began slowly activating his own authority.

"Your Grace, you need to erase its nature of lies, then engrave the traits you require! Of course, such traits would still be lies at present!"

Bai Yang understood his meaning. Even though he had already established many things and set up grand plans, falsehoods remained falsehoods and couldn't directly become truth.

In the divine system, turning falsehood into truth wasn't particularly difficult, but currently, he wasn't even a god yet, so of course the difficulty was high.

Bai Yang knew this too. He was merely making designs and leaving possibilities for the future.

Ascending to godhood was a monumental matter, so immense that he currently lacked the ability to accomplish it.

But everything he was doing now was preparation for divine ascension. If one day he truly succeeded in attaining godhood, these designs would transform from false deceptive actions into genuine "spiritual opportunities."

In other words, it could also be called "scattered divinity," depending entirely on the magnitude of his power.

"Alvin, you must understand that we exist in a world where the supernatural doesn't exist, miracles are absent, and mystery has vanished. Therefore, everything we do in this world is real!"

Bai Yang told Alvin this. Alvin was excellent in every way, except his vision was too limited.

He always thought about securing minimum gains or pursuing the most stable methods to obtain benefits.

Bai Yang didn't want this approach. He felt this was his best opportunity. If he truly followed the God of Lies' method step by step, he could indeed become a deity, but he would stop right there.

That would truly waste this transmigration of his!

Having thoroughly read various web novels about mastermind manipulators, Bai Yang clearly understood that the Divine Spark of Lies and this nearly blank world were his best golden fingers.

If he couldn't establish a sufficient foundation here, he would consider himself utterly useless.

Never mind the doubts of ordinary people. When the supernatural emerges into the world, all doubts will transform into genuine faith and worship of supernatural power!

How did that saying go? "After entering the pass, great Confucian scholars will help me debate the scriptures."

After the supernatural appears, naturally everything will be determined by the supernatural!

The previous church incident and Red Mansion handling could only be considered minor activities. This crystal now represented the first step Bai Yang had designed for himself to take!

Thinking about these things, Bai Yang gradually transmitted everything he had contemplated into the crystal in his hand.

Everything belonging to lies was erased by him. This was naturally necessary, as it was their main purpose for coming here.

Now, even if deities from other worlds arrived at this moment, they had already lost the ability to track his location.

Beside him, the nun named Caroline was still performing very devout prayers before the "crystal," completely unaware that the crystal had already disappeared.

She couldn't discover this because Bai Yang had deceived the surrounding space, making her believe everything was proceeding normally.

But she didn't see the thoughtful and probing look in Bai Yang's eyes as he watched her.

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

Caroline Olson was a very standard nun.

She came from the Olson family of Los Angeles, originally a noble daughter of the family, but due to turmoil in family inheritance disputes, she was sent to the church in San Diego to become a nun.

Nuns were forbidden from bearing children throughout their lives, so naturally they wouldn't have descendants, and therefore had no inheritance rights.

Caroline was indifferent about this matter, as she wasn't particularly close with her father anyway. After the old man died seizing power, the family hadn't treated her badly.

She had no desire to return and claim inheritance rights. Instead, due to her mother's teachings, she had become a devout believer.

Precisely because of this, she stood apart from most people in this church.

Like that bishop who preferred young boys, or that greedy pastor who extended his hands both inside and outside the church, and certainly including some monks who committed crimes under the name of God.

This was less a church for cultivation and faith, and more a sinful place filled with desire and greed!

"If you truly have a Lord, wouldn't he bring down divine punishment upon seeing this scene?" Bai Yang remarked sarcastically.

He had originally thought the fat priest's preference for young boys was just a dark joke, but it was actually happening right before his eyes.

This kind of dark joke had actually materialized within this church, which was what astonished Bai Yang!

Beyond this, he also saw nuns engaging in illicit affairs, deacons conducting transactions with believers, and priests who claimed to be believers but actually prayed with cultists for successful drug trafficking...

Looking at this church where everyone except Caroline before him could be called "complete villains," Bai Yang actually laughed!

"Originally, I actually felt somewhat reluctant about doing such things, but now it seems I was being overly compassionate instead!"

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

Caroline, who had just finished praying, looked at the crystal before her and suddenly felt somewhat lost.

"Lord... is this truly the revelation you've given me? Then why do the guilty go unpunished, while the innocent people cry out in anguish..."

She pressed her lips together, hoping to receive some revelation.

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

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

But as the lights went out and the room plunged into complete darkness, the white light she expected to disappear continued shining!

"Ah..." Caroline's eyes widened as she stared at the crystal, kneeling down to pray.

"Lord... you truly heard my prayers..."
