Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lin Mo fell silent for a moment, a rare occurrence.
"You can decide how to handle them."
Lin Mo shifted his gaze back to Qian Renxue, his tone calm. "Judging and purifying them must be something you've been looking forward to for a long time, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Mo's words.
From the very beginning, she had only one purpose in coming to the Star Luo Empire: to kill Tang Hao and avenge her father.
That was the first time she experienced the pain of losing a loved one, and it left an indelible scar on her heart.
As for Tang San, he can only be considered an extra.
Using the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul to purify an Evil Soul Master with Soul Douluo cultivation could also bring her some improvement.
Although she hasn't found a solution to the Ninth Trial yet, Qian Renxue isn't in a hurry to improve her strength.
She even started planning to deliberately suppress her cultivation speed in the future, fearing that if she accidentally completed the Eighth Trial, she would be forced to start the final trial that required her grandfather's Sacrifice.
But this belated revenge must be carried out by her own hands.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her gaze softening as she looked at Lin Mo: "By the way, when the Clear Sky Sect is judged, you, as the Savior God of the Star Luo Empire, must be present."
Lin Mo was somewhat stunned upon hearing these words.
He looked at Qian Renxue with a blank expression, then turned to look at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, and asked in confusion, " Savior God? What is that?"
At this point, Lin Mo's eyes darted back and forth between the three women with a hint of suspicion, and he couldn't help but mutter:
"Could it be that while I was in seclusion, you guys had assigned me some new titles that I wasn't aware of?"
This was not a baseless claim by Lin Mo; Qian Renxue had already learned from past mistakes.
The title of Empress of the Angel Empire was created entirely by Qian Renxue.
Now that another " Savior God " has appeared, Lin Mo's first reaction was that this woman was up to something again.
To Lin Mo's surprise, the three women immediately shook their heads.
Under Lin Mo's gaze, Dugu Yan finally spoke first, explaining, " A-Mo, don't misunderstand, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us."
"Yes," Ye Lingling replied, her tone still gentle, but this time her purple eyes held a hint of helplessness.
"This was really not something we deliberately arranged; it was purely a misunderstanding."
Dugu Yan continued, "To put it simply, you should still remember when you inherited the Asura God Godhood, a beam of blood-red light suddenly shot into the sky, and almost the entire Star Luo City saw that beam of blood-red light."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded slightly. He did remember that; it was the work of the Asura God.
"Now that you've remembered it, it's much easier to explain." Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Simply put, many people mistakenly believe that the blood-red light was summoned by Dai Mubai and Tang San."
The people of Star Luo City were already full of resentment towards them, and after seeing that strange blood-red light, they were even more convinced that they were practicing some kind of evil magic to bring disaster Destruction Star Luo Empire.
"Because we didn't know your specific situation at the time, Qian Renxue and I joined forces to use our respective divine lights in an attempt to purify that blood light."
In the eyes of the people, it was the sacred aura emanating from that divine light that dispelled the blood.
Incidentally, because the situation was so astonishing, almost everyone in Star Luo City witnessed that scene.
This leads people to mistakenly believe that you created the Sea God's Light Angel's Light.
Furthermore, the old ministers who witnessed what happened inside the hall embellished their accounts after returning home, which led them to misunderstand your identity.
They believe that Heaven heard their prayers and sent you down to punish them.
"This is the origin of the Savior God."
Hearing Dugu Yan's explanation, Lin Mo was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He couldn't say a word for a while, and finally he could only manage to squeeze out, "What kind of nonsense is this?"
He never imagined that not only would the Asura God Sheer Force bestow upon him a Godhood, but he would also be regarded by the people of the Star Luo Empire as a savior sent by heaven...
"But this is a good thing for you, A-Mo," Qian Renxue said with a smile, her mood clearly much better now.
"In this way, we won't need to create momentum for you like we did in the Angel Empire, nor will we need to do so in the Star Luo Empire."
Your name is already widely known in mainland China.
An eighteen-year-old Soul Saint, Hundred-Thousand-Year Seventh Soul Ring, the champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, One-Character Prince Equal to the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire —these titles alone are impressive enough.
With the deliberate spreading of those ministers, your title as Savior God has probably already spread throughout the entire Star Luo Empire!
"This will make it much easier for you to collect Power of Faith," Qian Renxue said with a hint of sarcasm.
Back in the Angel Empire, she went to great lengths to promote Lin Mo.
Unexpectedly, it was accomplished effortlessly in the Star Luo Empire, and with results several times better.
The husband she chose was truly a chosen one!
Soon, Ye Lingling chimed in, "Things might be progressing even more smoothly than you imagine A-Mo."
In the past few days, Zhu Zhuqing has received some intelligence from her subordinates.
In some places that were once deeply oppressed but have now been liberated, people have begun to spontaneously erect idols for you and pray to you.
They regard you as a god who has saved them from their suffering, and they go to the statue every day to burn incense and pray, hoping that you will protect them.
"In terms of progress alone, the Star Luo Empire's speed in just one month far surpasses our efforts in the Angel Empire over such a long period of time."
At this point, the three women exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.
They went to great lengths in the Angel Empire to make Lin Mo's name known to everyone.
As a result, in the Star Luo Empire, due to a misunderstanding, the people spontaneously began to believe in Lin Mo.
The difference between the two is truly both laughable and lamentable.
Qian Renxue muttered, "The only problem that urgently needs to be solved right now is how you should demonstrate the miracle!"
"Using the methods passed down from the Asura God is certainly not feasible."
Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully, "It's because of the divine light that A-Xue and I released together earlier."
In the eyes of those people, A-Mo, the Godhood you inherited leans towards the realm of light; in their hearts, you are more like God of Light.
They believed that the gods were the ones who brought light and hope, and who were there specifically to punish Evil.
If you were to display the murderous and killing power of Asura God in front of them, it would only instill fear in them, and they might even doubt whether you are truly Savior God.
At this point, Dugu Yan looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo naturally realized the problem as well. He frowned and said, "It seems that if I were to use the Asura Divine Power to demonstrate a miracle, it would probably backfire."
"You're right."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly and said, "This is also what we are most worried about."
The image of the Asura God is completely inconsistent with the image of the God of Light in the hearts of the people. If you actually use it, all your previous efforts may be in vain.
In Qian Renxue's view, this was also a relatively difficult aspect for Lin Mo.
If she were to come, with her Six-Winged Angel abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for her to impersonate the God of Light.
Although her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's primary attribute is holy, it also possesses two very powerful secondary attributes: light and fire.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Mo calmly replied, "So, what I'm going to do next is to demonstrate my powerful and authoritative abilities, which are enough to command respect?"
"How can I further solidify my image as the successor of the God of Light in the eyes of the public?"
There was not a trace of panic in Lin Mo's tone.
"That's right." Qian Renxue nodded. "If you really have a solution, that would be even better."
If you don't have it, it's better not to show it at all.
The mere existence of Charizard is awe-inspiring enough.
"However, if a miracle could be publicly displayed, it would make the subsequent path of collecting Power of Faith much easier."
As the young master of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue clearly has far more experience in this area than the other three.
After all, the Spirit Hall was formerly the Church See, and it is very adept at winning over the hearts and minds of the people and gathering the Power of Faith.
"Fire and light have always been inseparable," Lin Mo muttered to himself.
Soon, as he finished speaking, a flame suddenly ignited at his fingertips.
The flame had a pale golden-red hue and wasn't particularly hot, but the light it emitted was unprecedentedly magnificent.
A soft golden light emanated from the flames, illuminating the surrounding space and giving a warm and sacred feeling.
The three women stared in astonishment at the flame at Lin Mo's fingertips.
After condensing his own Soul Power attribute Soul Core, Lin Mo was able to easily manipulate some elements other than fire and wind.
Just like the ice elemental ability he used when he froze Ma Hongjun's corpse last time.
At that time, however, he had not yet fused with the Ice Dragon King's Soul Bone, and his use of ice elements was like that of a child.
After fusing with the Soul Bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Lin Mo's own resistance to ice and fire was greatly enhanced even without the help of the Charizard's flames.
If his previous resistance to ice and fire only protected him against levels below the extreme, his resistance has now been greatly enhanced.
Even if Huo Wu or Shui Bing'er used their full strength to attack him, even if their respective Fire-type had reached their peak, they would not be able to harm him in the slightest.
After fusing with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's Soul Bone, not only were his resistances to ice and fire greatly enhanced, but his control over ice elements also reached a new level.
Of the remaining elements, Lin Mo has a slight edge in controlling the elements of water and earth because he has fused with the Soul Bone of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.
The rest are due to their understanding of space and light, gained through the Soul Ring absorbed by Charizard.
These are the fourth and Third Soul Ring from Charizard.
Moreover, since fire and light are always inseparable, with the help of fire element concealment, Lin Mo can easily put on a light element performance that will fool everyone present.
"Since you, A-Mo, can still manipulate light elements to this extent, then the rest will be much simpler."
Dugu Yan was not surprised by Lin Mo's behavior.
After all, Lin Mo, who always presented himself as Fire-type Soul Master, was already terrifying enough for having previously been able to unleash Ice-type abilities.
Compared to controlling ice, controlling light is clearly superior.
The flame at Lin Mo's fingertips slowly died down. He clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
I guarantee that I won't reveal any flaws and disappoint the public.
Qian Renxue nodded, a relieved smile on her face. Now that Lin Mo had a solution, she no longer needed to risk trying the methods she had originally prepared.
Now, all we need to do is wait patiently for Judgment Day to arrive.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
This day also marked the trial of Dai Mubai, Tang San, and their group.
The people of the Star Luo Empire eagerly awaited this day.
Tang San and Dai Mubai's actions within the Star Luo Empire were nothing short of disastrous.
After Dai Mubai, he indulged in wine and women, neglected state affairs, and levied exorbitant taxes, causing widespread resentment among the people.
Tang San's pursuit of cultivation led to the destruction of countless families, resulting in the loss of loved ones and the separation of wives and children.
The people hated him so much they wanted to devour his flesh and blood.
Their trial was held outside the city of the Star Luo Empire.
The location was chosen primarily to accommodate the large number of people who wanted to witness this event.
Although the imperial palace in Star Luo City was magnificent enough, it simply could not accommodate so many people.
The open plain outside the city could easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, making it the perfect venue for the trial.
This place is home to many people from the Star Luo Empire, and even some who have traveled from afar from the Angel Empire.
Some of them had heard the legends of the Savior God and came specifically to see the god's appearance.
Some were victims of persecution by Tang San and Dai Mubai, and came specifically to witness their execution and comfort the spirits of their deceased loved ones.
Three days before Judgment Day, a tall courtroom had already been erected on this plain.
The courtroom was made entirely of hard bluestone, several meters high, and from the top one could overlook the entire square.
The judge's bench was surrounded by disciples of the Zhu Family and the Star Crown Sect, who were responsible for maintaining order and preventing chaos.
The trial here is ultimately just a formality.
After all, the person who deserved to die had already known his death before the trial even began.
This is just a formality, to give the public an explanation and let them see for themselves the Punishment these evildoers deserve.
For groups like the Star Crown Sect, they don't even need to go through the proper procedures.
After completely admitting defeat and stating that they would devote the entire sect's strength to joining the new Star Luo Empire, they had already had their seals lifted and regained their freedom.
Xu Zhenshan even volunteered to lead the disciples of the Star Crown Sect to maintain order at the trial site, in order to demonstrate his loyalty.
He knew very well that the Star Crown Sect was saved this time entirely because he had been pragmatic back then.
Now, all he has to do is perform well and try to help the Star Crown Sect gain a foothold in the new Star Luo Empire.
There was a small incident during this time.
Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan who was found not guilty during routine rounds of investigation, once visited Lin Mo, taking advantage of his friendship with Yang Wudi.
They wanted to use this opportunity to plead for Tang San's life, hoping to use the favor Lin Mo had once promised to spare Tang San's life.
When Bai He followed Yang Wudi to Lin Mo's residence that day, he looked haggard and his steps were unsteady.
Upon seeing Lin Mo, he immediately bowed deeply and said, "Sect Leader Lin, I have a favor to ask of you."
Sect Leader Lin, you once made a promise to me, and now I want to invoke that promise...
"I know Tang San has committed heinous crimes and deserves to die. But he is, after all, a descendant of my sister... I beg you to give him a chance to reform."
Lin Mo did not refuse him directly, but instead had someone bring over a thick stack of files.
These files contain evidence of Tang San's crimes that Zhu Family and Hu Liena had collected over this period of time.
It details the crimes Tang San committed in the Star Luo Empire.
"Senior Bai, you may have some misunderstandings about Tang San and are not yet clear about the crimes he has committed. Please take a look at these first."
Lin Mo handed the file to Bai He and said calmly, "After you've read it, decide whether you want to continue pleading for him."
Tang San was well aware of his usual actions and what was going on.
Except for a very few people who are telling the truth.
The rest of the people, even those from the Clear Sky Sect, were unaware of what Tang San had actually done under the pretext of personally executing criminals.
At most... it's just some speculation followed by self- Hypnosis.
With trembling hands, Bai He took the file and flipped through it page by page, but the more he read, the more horrified he became, and his hands trembled violently.
He had some understanding of this, but he was unaware that Tang San had fallen to such a low point.
Finally, the file slipped from Bai He's hands and fell to the ground.
"I never expected... I never expected him to turn out like this..." Bai He's voice was filled with pain. "I was wrong, I misjudged him."
He is not worthy of being called the hope of the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect all, but rather a disgrace to it!
"Sect Master Lin Mo, I was confused. You are right. I will not plead for him."
After saying this, Bai He turned and left, but he seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.
Soon, as time went by, Judgment Day arrived.
That morning, just as dawn was breaking, the plains Star Luo City were already teeming with people.
As the sun rose higher, golden sunlight spilled across the earth, illuminating everyone's face.
The square became increasingly crowded and noisy.
"The day has finally come! I must see that demon Tang San executed with my own eyes to comfort my son's spirit in heaven!" a middle-aged man said through gritted teeth. His son was one of those who died at Tang San's hands.
" The Savior God will surely protect us! With him, we'll never have to suffer again!"
The crowd's discussions rose and fell, filled with hatred for Tang San and Dai Mubai, but also with gratitude for Lin Mo and the others.
Just then, a series of footsteps sounded.
Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and others, along with a team of guards, escorted Tang Hao, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and others slowly onto the trial platform.
Upon seeing these people, the crowd erupted in deafening shouts of anger, hurling countless eggs and stones at the judge's bench.
Qian Renxue raised her hand, and a gentle golden Soul Power spread out, instantly silencing the entire arena.
She stood in the center of the judge's bench, her golden eyes devoid of any emotion, and began to read aloud the crimes of Tang Hao, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and others as if reciting a script.
" Clear Sky Douluo; Tang Hao, attacked the Spirit Hall's forces several times, destroyed the Spirit Hall Branch, and killed Spirit Hall elders and the former Pope Qian Xunji."
This directly triggered a war between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, resulting in the deaths and injuries of countless Soul Master.
" Tang San, a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, in order to cultivate evil arts, indiscriminately captured Soul Master and civilians, and harmed innocent people."
" Dai Mubai, the former emperor of the Star Luo Empire, indulged in wine and women after ascending the throne, levied exorbitant taxes, and abused cruel punishments, leading to widespread suffering among the people."
Qian Renxue's voice clearly echoed throughout the entire square, and with each crime she read out, the crowd's angry shouts grew louder.
Just as Qian Renxue finished reading all the crimes and was about to announce the verdict and carry out the trial, the sky suddenly darkened.
A scorching gust of wind swept through without warning, causing the robes of the crowd to flutter wildly.
Everyone instinctively looked up at the sky.
A small red dot appeared on the distant horizon. The red dot gradually grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a burning Huo Yun of fire.
The scorching heat instantly turned the originally cool morning into a hot one.
From within the Huo Yun, an unimaginably enormous dragon slowly emerged, its Dual Wingbeat spreading wide, blotting out the sun and almost completely covering the sky.
Its head was held high, and the flames at the end of its tail burned fiercely, with raging fire shooting into the sky.
Atop the dragon's head stood a man in white.
The man was tall and handsome, with a pair of magnificent Dual Wingbeat filled with fire and light emerging from his back, making him appear like a god descending to earth.
The Charizard slowly flapped its enormous wings and flew towards the judgment platform, casting a huge shadow over the entire plaza.
The people in the square stared blankly at the incredibly awe-inspiring figure in the air, the Pressure emanating from the depths of their souls making them forget to breathe for a moment.
They had never seen such a huge and imposing creature.
The only man qualified to ride this dragon beast is probably a god.
It wasn't until the Charizard above the judgment platform and Lin Mo leaped off its back, landing steadily in the center of the platform, that the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
" God of Light and Fire!"
" The God of Light and Fire has descended!"
"The gods descend to earth and vanquish Evil!"
"Thank God for saving us from this dire situation!"
Cheers rose and fell, one wave higher than the next, spreading throughout the entire Star Luo Plain. Countless people knelt on the ground, bowing and worshipping Lin Mo, their faces filled with piety.
Lin Mo stood on the judge's bench, listening to the deafening cheers around him, and his lips twitched slightly.
God of Light and Fire —this was the title of Godhood Qian Renxue and the others had discussed for a long time and finally decided upon, and it was also the heartfelt name that all the people of the Star Luo Empire used to address him at this moment.
