From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 334: Preaching is Truly the Indispensable Link in the System of Ascending to Godhood

If there was anything more awe-inspiring than manifesting divine power before the masses, it was perhaps the ability to attack the heart and shatter a person's will!

And the woman before her was clearly having her malicious inner motives exposed and struck down!

Her scorching Murderous Intent was dissolved into a mere blessing before the Saintess named Caroline.

This blessing was not grand. It took the form of a thin piece of copper that looked as if it could be snapped with a casual bend, but... who would dare break it?

This kind of miracle, appearing in broad daylight and captured by so many media cameras, was nothing short of a spiritual baptism.

At the very least, the woman before her had suffered a complete mental breakdown.

"How is this possible? How could this happen? I am the spokesperson for free will! Why wouldn't the Lord believe in my choice?" she shrieked hysterically. She stripped away her facade of liberalism; the sight of her crumbling faith struck everyone as utterly pathetic and hideous!

Hearing this, Caroline looked up at the woman. "Do you truly believe you are the spokesperson for free will? Or do you merely feel that having such a status allows you to act with absolute impunity?"

"Did you think it could magnify the desires in your heart? That it could fill your empty soul? That it could grant you Power you never possessed?"

"Or perhaps, there is someone behind you pushing you to disrespect the Lord?"Caroline's words slammed into the woman's chest like a heavy sledgehammer, violently choking off anything else she might have said!

A Saintess capable of piercing straight into a person's soul delivered a blow that was simply too fatal. After all, this was exactly the kind of influence the woman had wanted for herself!

All the ugliness within her heart was stripped bare and laid out for everyone to witness.

As long as she could engage the Saintess in conversation, she could gain more attention, more benefits, and greater Power. It was never about her so-called free will.

"The people behind you are trying to usurp the Divine Faith of The Church!" Caroline's single sentence completely drained the woman of any courage to speak. "The Religious Tribunal will intervene in this dispute. I hope you can convince them to step forward and confess their sins of their own volition, rather than forcing us to hunt down their location..."

"The Lord will forgive their sins. You can rest assured..."

The very next second, a bullet flew in from a distance, striking the woman's head with pinpoint precision. Her head exploded like a watermelon. However, just as the brain matter and gore were about to splash onto Caroline, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Sure enough, there were masterminds manipulating this woman from the shadows. Someone wanted to destroy The Church's reputation and had chosen this method to do so. Upon realizing their plan had failed, they immediately opted to eliminate the liability!

If they had been dealing with an ordinary person, perhaps such a maneuver would have succeeded. Unfortunately for them, they were facing Caroline.

The Saintess gazed at the corpse before her and continued her prayer. "I shall bear your Sin. You will awaken once more and identify the murderer who killed you!"

In the next instant, a white Soul slowly manifested above the woman's corpse. Carrying a trace of bewilderment, it pointed in a certain direction and spoke words that no one else could hear.

Then, Caroline gave a gentle nod. "I now know everything about you, and I know your enemy. Rest assured, the Lord will not spare a single blasphemer!"

Hearing this, the woman slowly bowed to Caroline, gently dropping to her knees with tears of remorse streaming down her face.

Caroline nodded softly. "I understand. The Lord will bless you, madam! I am glad that in the final moments of your life, you were able to recognize your true gender and devoutly place your faith in God!"

The woman's Soul had long lost its previous arrogant and rebellious demeanor, replacing it with utter tranquility. She bowed her head toward the Saintess, seemingly praying for something, or perhaps having fully accepted her fate.

Caroline waved her hand, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Soul slowly ascended into the sky and vanished.

But this was not the end. Turning to face the direction the gunshot had come from, Caroline softly declared, "Those who murder without cause shall face the severe punishment of the Law!"

"John, go! The Lord will grant you blessings and protection!"

The next second, a Monk beside her lunged forward. Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, he leaped up to the third floor, then sprang again to the sixth floor, capturing the shooter hiding on the roof.

He vaulted down from the sixth-floor roof, landing squarely on the ground without suffering any impact from the fall, and tossed the Black shooter onto the concrete like a dead dog.

This scene left an incomparably profound impression on everyone witnessing it.

Only then did it suddenly dawn on the crowd: the current Church was a Transcendent institution! Every single one of their members could be a Transcendent Being! These culprits were remarkably brazen. Using a Transcendent Being to farm clout was one thing, but silencing a witness right in front of them was sheer lunacy!

Did they really think a Saintess had no temper? Joan of Arc, the Saintess of the past, was a true War God who battered the forces of England into a steady retreat!

"Mr. Sheriff, please issue a Pronouncement of Judgment against him in accordance with the Law. The Church will continue to follow up on this!" Caroline stated, her face full of righteous indignation. "How could anyone dare to fire a gun and murder someone right on the Main Street? This Realm should be a safe one!"

"If citizens cannot even guarantee their own safety, how can The Faithful peacefully cultivate their own Divine Faith?"

Naturally, Caroline knew what had been happening in America recently. She was even more aware of what the country had gone through over the years. As the Saintess, she had every right to say such things.

A good nation should not be like this. Citizens should not have to constantly look for cover on the street or draw their guns to fight back at a moment's notice.

Cities should be like Mr. Bennett Angus's small town—safe, gentle, and peaceful.

This was something she had always wanted to advocate for, and now she finally had the chance. Of course, this was also a deliberate jab at Golden Hair. The subtext was clear: if the American Government was incapable, then let The Church take over!

Everyone heard this message, and everyone was astonished. Only the Saintess would dare make such a declaration. The last person who claimed that bearing arms was reasonable had their neck pierced, yet this Saintess, who publicly opposed violence, was utterly fearless in the face of it!

She was forging her own ideological framework, and utilizing this incident, she was broadcasting it to the entire nation!

Many people were overjoyed. They felt that the Saintess truly lived up to her title, constantly keeping the well-being of ordinary people in mind.

The only ones mourning as if they had lost their parents were the schemers who wanted to milk traffic from The Church's Saintess and manipulate the public opinion of these Catholics along the way.

There would always be those harboring a fluke mentality, thinking they couldn't be traced. There would always be those trying to piggyback on the biggest source of traffic in the world. This was their well-deserved lesson!

Even without using their brains, they knew that to deflect The Church's pressure, the police would hunt them down to the bitter end. Moreover, the cops now had a brand-new excuse: "Negotiate? Settle? Go talk to The Church about that!"

The threat of death and ruin was right before their eyes!

At this moment, everyone was immersed in this extraordinary atmosphere. Watching an incredibly resolute so-called freedom fighter transform into a devout follower of the Lord in her final moments—this method of conversion was truly astonishing.

Why did so many people believe in the Lord? Wasn't it simply to have a haven to rely on after death?

Seeing such a sinner earn the Saintess's forgiveness served as the perfect piece of propaganda for Christians.

If even such an apostate could be forgiven, wouldn't devout believers like them surely ascend to Heaven?

Many casual believers morphed into devout ones at this very moment, and countless bystanders were converted. Numerous Protestants and members of various sects also began shifting their faith as they watched this live broadcast.

The organization known as The Church had achieved profound Proselytizing within this city!

...

"Crown, the amplification of their faith has elevated the Wish Force system to a new level. This city can now be called a Holy City!" Alvin's highly thrilled voice echoed.

Bai Yang nodded quite calmly. He gazed at the cluster of divine fire before him. Seeing the emergence of this brand-new faith cause flashes of an even purer, holier white light to spark within the white flames, he smiled in satisfaction.

"The third step to Ascending to Godhood has begun! The previous faith was merely the faith of Christianity, not the faith of our entirely new Catholic system. That could only be considered a cormorant occupying a magpie's nest!"

"But now, we have started to replace their beliefs. What they revere has shifted from an illusory concept into a real concept that we have molded..."

"According to the Dylan Continent's system of Ascending to Godhood, now is the time to begin condensing authority, shaping power, and preparing for the matters of Uplifting a Divine Kingdom!" Alvin stated. "However, for your system, you will have to devise a new plan yourself!"

Bai Yang waved his hand. "We already have a Divine Kingdom. Naturally, the next step is to gather Wish Force, condense the Divine Kingdom first, then use it to reverse-engineer Divine Nature, and finally Ascend to Godhood!"

"The Church's Proselytizing condenses the Divine Kingdom system, while the Demons' preaching condenses the Hell world. The moment these two worlds are truly born will be the time our Yahweh truly appears!"

Gazing at the divine fire in his hands, he could see the two worlds slowly rising and falling within the flames. The virtual world where Rasinger resided, which relied on the Divine Kingdom, was also slowly solidifying and manifesting into reality under this growth!

"Preaching is truly the indispensable link in the system of Ascending to Godhood!"
