A pale, slender, and tall figure stood quietly at the window of the transparent spaceship, gazing down.
The dense crowd continued to surge forward, and the mournful cries could even be amplified into low-frequency sound waves that reached the spaceship thousands of meters in the air.
It was as if this devout faith had truly reached Heaven and been delivered to God's ears.
However, this God is Pale God.
Norton's two golden eyes were calm as still water, and no one knew what was going on in his mind. On the contrary, the high- Human Federation standing behind Norton, and even Abraham, were all feeling uneasy.
"Faith, how foolish..."
Norton muttered to himself, his gaze piercing through the spaceship's facade, fixed on the millions of people gathered below.
How ridiculous! This group of people, who know nothing of ancient history, the past actions of the Holy Lord Church, or even the current political correctness, gather together as if no one else is there, suffering for the God they have prayed to their entire lives for, yet have received no response. How can this not be called ignorance?
Norton uttered a soft remark, but no one behind him dared to respond.
Whether it was the actual ruler of the current Human Federation, the major financial families, or even Abraham, they all remained silent in fear.
But in reality, everyone basically had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
These millions of believers will likely face destruction in the end.
This Pale God of Biyang, who has been resurrected for less than three years, has killed hundreds of millions of people in the Garden of Eden. He has never cared about human life in his words or actions. He is simply insane!
However, it must be said that from the perspective of the Human Federation, such killings did not cause much damage; on the contrary, they were beneficial to the human race.
With the large-scale death of the elderly and infirm, the problem of societal aging has been successfully resolved. If this group of believers were also killed, the problems of the Holy Lord Church would be easily solved, and factors of social instability would be completely eliminated.
It must be said that violence is indeed the most effective means.
Sure enough, Norton, who had just been expressing his feelings, suddenly changed his tone, and a long sigh mixed with chilling words came out of his mouth.
"But isn't such unwavering faith, such a vast scale, in this boundless universe merely a campfire in a dark forest, serving as Anchor for the arrival of an inhuman God?"
This is intolerable!
Norton's voice grew increasingly cold and angry as he spoke, and even his golden eyes flashed with a scarlet light.
His posture, combined with his pale and bizarre body, gave off an utterly inhuman feeling.
God has no humanity? Norton is the most inhuman one of all!
The words spoken on the spaceship were not heard by the believers gathered below.
They had now entered the Holy See and were all facing the tall, imposing walls of the Holy Lord Holy See.
Then, starting with someone, believers fell like dominoes, one after another, kneeling on the ground.
Those who entered the Holy See could kneel on well-maintained, smooth roads, while those Holy See did not could only kneel on muddy or even rocky mountain paths.
But this still cannot shake their devout hearts.
The direction in which they knelt was also significant.
Twelve thousand years ago, Adam, the last powerful pope of the Holy Lord Empire, stood on this very wall and, with his death, brought the Holy Lord Empire, which had lasted for countless years, to a tragic end. Similarly, the Holy Lord Church began from this point onward, shifting from the control of both real and divine power to the singular promotion of divine authority. This had extremely high religious and cultural significance for the entire Holy Lord Church.
Yalian III, the Pope of March, is not recognized as a legitimate pope due to his short reign and unique historical factors. (He was killed after only three months on the throne, hence the name "Pope of March").
It wasn't until the end of the Cataclysm War, in the 95th year of the Old Norton of the Papal State, that the new Holy Lord Church was established, and with the ascension of the first Pope, ' Saint Peter,' it was recognized as succeeding the orthodoxy of the Holy Lord Church.
After the end of the Cataclysm War, in order to appease the people and the vast number of believers of the Holy Lord Empire, and to formally nail the Vampire clan and even Norton to the pillar of shame, classifying them as a dark force, Saint Peter agreed to open the former site of the Holy Lord Holy See, allowing believers of the Holy Lord Church to weep and pray outside the walls of the Holy See for the end of the Church.
Therefore, this city wall was designated as the Wailing Wall.
It is also the largest holy site that the Holy Lord Church inherited to this day.
But Norton's actions in cementing his place in the dark faction are also the reason why this group of devout believers has gathered here.
Today, these millions of believers gather around the Holy See, facing the Wailing Wall and weeping bitterly, lamenting the complete demise of the Holy Lord Church and grieving that their faith will have nowhere to rest.
"That Pale Devil stole the orthodoxy, and my Holy Church has been utterly destroyed by the demon's hand. From now on, humanity will never have a chance to rise again... Waaah..."
"Your Majesty Adam, Your Majesty Adam! Open your eyes and look at this world! Humanity has lost all hope. Even my Holy Church has been corrupted by the devil. This Holy Church, which has lasted for ten thousand years, will be destroyed in the hands of the devil!"
"Merciful Lord, Holy Lord, Your believers desperately need Your guidance. We implore You to send down Your holy light and drive away this darkness and defilement..."
"Where is His Holiness the Pope? His Holiness Nicholas, you cannot abandon our Holy Lord Church! How could you make a pact with that devil? We beg you to rescind your decision and lead us in the fight against that Pale Devil to the very end!"
Countless believers knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, and some of them made veiled accusations against the contemporary Pope Nicholas.
With the merger of the Pale Church and the Holy Lord Church of the Human Federation, Pope Nicholas of the Holy Lord Church Holy Lord Church made a brief appearance on the day of the merger, and then, as he had said, completed his true retirement.
Since then, Pope Nicholas has never appeared in any official settings or personal interviews, and even his personal information has been kept so secret that no one knows it.
I wonder if he has indeed gone off to cultivate himself in seclusion, just as he said.
Of course, the most likely outcome is that it's gone.
But the believers didn't care.
They only pressure the Pope; they only care about the continuation of the Holy Church.
I don't know if their prayers really worked.
As time passed and the wailing grew louder, the sun hanging in the sky seemed to gradually become hotter, even gradually changing from pale yellow to a golden hue.
From afar, the entire sun appears as if it were gilded, resplendent in gold!
This extraordinary phenomenon, which lasted only a short time, was noticed by the believers.
Someone let out a cheer, and soon the joyous celebrations broke the silence of the previous somber mood, resounding throughout the Holy See.
"Look, look! The sun has changed, the sun's color has changed! Could it be that our Lord has truly heard our prayers and is about to give us a divine revelation?"
"Waaaaah... A miracle! This is a true miracle! It must be God descending! That Pale Devil will have nowhere to escape! Hahahaha..."
"A god will descend, and holy light will shine upon the earth—this is the golden holy light!"
The millions of believers were almost driven mad; countless people knelt on the ground and wept, and many others jumped around as if they were mentally ill.
The entire mountain range was engulfed in dust, and even the flowers, plants, and trees suffered as a result.
Amidst the intense anticipation of millions and the fervor of countless believers.
The blazing sun, which had already turned golden, finally revealed a miraculous transformation!
A golden circle converged within the sun, its outer layer radiating dazzling golden light, its inner layer possessing a shimmering gold hue, interspersed with a strange luster, and even a somewhat eerie, almost living quality.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the world.
The golden sun high in the sky, like a human eye, slowly shifted its gaze, its pupil-like golden inner layer turning to focus on the millions of fanatical believers on the ground.
Immediately following, a message containing the supreme aura of life, without any sound, clearly resonated into the ears of all believers.
"I am God, Pale God!"
