Since the Pale Church was renamed the Holy Lord Church, the Human Federation has been plunged into a deep state of chaos.
No matter how much Duoxia and the Human Federation explained or thoroughly analyzed the facts, they still could not completely change everyone's mindset. Although on the surface, it seemed that humanity had accepted the Ancient Holy Lord Church under strong pressure, in reality, it was completely different from what they wanted.
Even in their moments of despair, people would still pray, chanting the true name of the Pale God, hoping that the Pale God Norton would show them a little mercy and deliver them from Hell.
Believers also habitually pray to the name of the Pale God, even though they usually recite the new God of the Holy Lord Church when they go to the monastery for spiritual practice, but in their hearts they still think of the Pale God Norton.
Even within the Holy Lord Church, numerous missionaries, Church knights, and even priests would occasionally and habitually speak in the tone of worshipping the Pale God, or habitually recite the name of the Pale God Norton.
This seemingly massive change did not bring about profound transformations, nor did it penetrate deeply into the grassroots.
Leaving aside the fact that this historical custom, which has lasted for over four thousand years, is difficult to break, the mere fact that the Pale God Norton bestowed immortality and power upon them has made their lives revolve around the Pale God and difficult to correct.
As for whether the Pale God was the mastermind behind this war, it ultimately lost much of its persuasiveness until it truly revealed its tyrannical nature.
Even now, former extremist followers occasionally gather together, shouting the name of Pale God, burning, killing, and looting, and carrying out brutal attacks against the reformed Holy Lord Church monasteries, calling them all traitors and heretics.
After three years, the newly appointed Pope Duoxia, the Holy Lord Church who orchestrated the dismantling of the Pale Church and the establishment of the Holy Lord Church, finally realized a serious problem.
For the Pale Church, a behemoth that has been deeply rooted in the Human Federation for over four thousand years, with profound foundations, a massive scale, and deep roots in the marrow of the people, the so-called subversive methods such as changing allegiance and analyzing the facts are utterly useless!
The only thing that can truly awaken the people now is that Pale God himself has exposed his own cruelty and incompetence!
This outcome deeply saddened Pope Duoxia.
While the Aberration on the front lines continue to invade human cities, these unruly people in the rear remain extremely respectful to the Pale God, as if they have been tamed to the bone!
Ironically, this subtle and long-term taming was something that Duoxia did after he became regent!
Isn't this a classic example of shooting oneself in the foot?
What is even more despairing is that, under such circumstances, as long as the Pale God Norton does not appear before human society and completely overturn the grand sacrifice and all the lies he has fabricated, his pursuit of faith will never cease.
If humanity today did not possess the right to immortality, that would be fine, since with three or four generations and decades of change, society would eventually be transformed, washing away the lingering poison of the Pale Church.
But since everyone is immortal, it means that even if newborns keep coming into the world, there will always be a voice loyal to the Pale God in human society!
This creates a truly tragic reality.
Until the pale, Pale God Norton reveals himself or makes a mistake, he will forever remain in the state of human society he desires.
But the Pale God is not a fool, and he is unlikely to make a mistake himself and completely reverse the situation.
After all, who can see more clearly than an all-knowing and all-powerful, Pale God?
Alas, the seemingly invincible and doomed Pale God Norton appeared to have lost his mind for a moment due to the resurrection of the Holy Lord Church.
In the year 4625 of Norton, a problem arose in an unexpected place.
In the autumn of Norton 4625, during the 3281st space transport mission of the Great Crusade, a netizen with the username ' Norton Lick My Big Hook ' launched a furious online attack on the corrupt practices within the Human Federation Government's 'air transport' operations.
He claims to be a member of the Great Crusade Transport Corps, having participated in more than 130 expeditions and migrations to date.
Everything was fine before, but since the Pale Church reformed and the Human Federation Government came to power, the 3281st migration operation has started, and the transport ships have inexplicably become quite empty.
A significant number of the ships responsible for the transport were found to have received no assigned missions. After waiting for a long time, including himself, the ship commanders only received a response from above instructing them to return with the transport fleet, without any mission being issued.
The Great Crusade is currently proceeding at a rapid pace, and transport ships are scarce strategic resources. This behavior of using 'airlift' to occupy transport slots and embezzle transport funds is extremely infuriating to him. Therefore, he posted on the internet, hoping to use the power of public opinion to put pressure on the Human Federation Government to conduct a thorough investigation.
This news has indeed caused quite a stir in public opinion.
Now, with the Pale Church transformed into the Holy Lord Church, the faith of believers has collapsed, and ordinary people are filled with fear and confusion. The Pale God seems to be standing against humanity. Everyone is already in a state of high tension and nervous tension. Now, this corruption has emerged, like a punctured ball, and the pressure is surging upwards like crazy.
Within just a few days, this matter was pushed to the forefront of online public opinion.
With the deception of Pale God preceding us, humanity can no longer tolerate any more deception.
As a result, the matter was blown out of proportion and gradually began to arouse public outrage.
Under such immense pressure, the Human Federation Government had no choice but to launch a live broadcast, summoning all those in charge of the 3281st expedition to the live broadcast room for online interrogation in an attempt to quell public anger.
However, the more this matter was investigated, the more chilling it became.
First of all, the 3281st expedition was planned while the Pale Church was still around. In fact, it could be said that such a major project had a complete plan when the Great Crusade was launched. Before the actual transport, all the budgets, routes, and objectives were only slightly adjusted within this plan, and it was impossible for such a huge transport gap to be created.
This is also a way for the Human Federation and even the Pale Church to prevent corruption.
After all, the government budget is fixed. Unnecessarily requisitioning more transport ships would be a thankless and arduous task. Even if someone wanted to embezzle, they would only do so by reducing the number of ships and increasing their cargo and passenger capacity, not by requisitioning a batch of ships that are completely unnecessary to increase expenditures. Wouldn't that simply reduce the amount of money available for embezzlement?
In addition, after the front-line troops completely gave up resistance, the Great Crusade became the Pale Holy See's top priority.
The 3281st expedition had already passed the dual review of the Human Federation Government and the Pale Holy See. If there were so many extra empty ships, how could the review have been passed?
Secondly, through interrogation of the managers in charge of the 3281st expedition, their thought processes and micro-expressions showed no signs of lying. Even the lie detector did not respond. It is impossible for so many people to have received any professional spy training. Moreover, after they appeared, a large number of transport personnel confirmed their identities on the live streaming platform. It is also impossible to find a large group of spies to replace them and falsify their identities.
According to their descriptions, their answers had some similarities.
For example, they didn't discover any problems with the scale of transportation before launching the Great Crusade, and there shouldn't have been any errors in allocation, otherwise it's impossible that no one raised any questions. Nor would it be possible that they would subconsciously ignore this matter.
After all, the expedition was an open affair, not some top secret. Every expedition had a general mobilization meeting, which had been held as early as the Pale Church era. They didn't remember any problems at that time, and even the person in charge of these air transport ships found it quite strange.
He had a feeling that he should have a mission, and he hadn't raised any questions at the mobilization meeting. But now that he was actually taking action, he discovered that the transportation department he was in charge of didn't have any mission at all, which was quite strange.
Even during the live-streamed interrogation, he himself looked confused and even panicked, and in the end, he felt that his memory was somewhat distorted.
Finally, as for the first reason, the Great Crusade was planned in advance, and the quantity and proportion of supplies transported each time were basically the same.
In the past, over three thousand transport missions always involved simultaneous transport from three star systems. This was the total number of missions. Why did the total number of missions suddenly and inexplicably become only two star systems this time?
One by one, illogical realities were listed and presented, each seemingly without fault, but upon closer inspection revealing an extremely bizarre situation, along with supporting evidence.
In the first expedition after the Pale Church transformed into the Holy Lord Church, reality seemed to blur, like a dream, illogical and impossible to grasp.
As reality was listed one by one, as questions were raised one by one, as many netizens spontaneously listed strange problems they had suddenly discovered, and as the atmosphere within the Human Federation grew increasingly fearful and bizarre... a seemingly impossible reason, yet one that perfectly fit all the logic, was proposed by a netizen.
"It can't be that a galaxy suddenly disappears, can it? Disappearing from the real world, disappearing from our memories, completely erasing all traces, yet because it's so vast, no matter how you try to erase it, it can never be truly and completely wiped out, so..."
This speculation sent chills down the spines of the people in the Human Federation.
An entire galaxy suddenly vanished, and even people's memories were erased?
In today's world, who possesses such power?
Clearly, even Sixth Stage powerhouse Abraham couldn't do that.
Even seemingly powerful Star System Aberration, capable of infecting galaxies, cannot do so.
Only that monster, who was enshrined on a pedestal and placed on a high pedestal, and who was recently betrayed by the Church he founded, possesses the boundless power to make all of this possible!
His fundamental purpose in doing so was probably to intimidate humanity, the Holy Lord Church, and the Church Pope, Duoxia!
Public opinion exploded.
Nearly half of the original followers of the Pale God changed their minds overnight, and everyone began to have doubts.
After all, almost all the clues pointed to that seemingly holy and benevolent monster, who in fact was guilty of countless heinous crimes throughout history.
Suddenly, both online and offline, critics of the Pale God Norton flocked to the scene, and his holy and majestic image suffered unprecedented damage.
Countless people vented their anger and fear on it, and under the leadership of the Holy Lord Church, its name became thoroughly associated with baseness, cruelty, cunning, and the devil.
Amidst such public outrage, the Human Federation Government, which had already experienced such tactics before, directly produced a sealed report of past misdeeds.
That was the complete investigative leads and evidence from when Norton, in a fit of rage while playing a game during his recent resurrection, carelessly caused hundreds of towns to vanish overnight.
The methods used to erase the memories of the missing people in those towns are exactly the same as the methods used to erase the memories of this mysteriously vanished galaxy. This has become the most compelling and concrete evidence, and it is also the last straw that breaks the camel's back for those who stubbornly believe in the power of faith!
After all, this incident caused quite a stir and was very well-known back then.
With all these conditions combined and all the clues clearly pointing to the truth, the sins of the Pale God Norton were thoroughly exposed to the entire population, completely crushing their respect and trust in him.
Pale God Norton, the founder of human society, the foundation of human evolution, and the god revered by mankind for thousands of years, has been completely dragged down from his sacred altar and cloaked in the guise of evil!
Not long ago, the new Pope Duoxia of the Holy Lord Church, who was unable to truly expose the sinful face of the Pale God, laughed heartily in the hall, pointed his hand, and a decree followed.
" The Pale Devil Norton, cloaked in hypocrisy, spews vile lies. His actions are despicable and his sins are unforgivable. Such a vile being, even with the power of God, is still as ugly as a rat in a sewer, yet he attempts to use human faith to eternally solidify an immortal divine body."
That short-sighted mind is delusional, that vile soul is endlessly sinful.
We, the human race, should unite in sincere faith and proclaim the coming of the true God!
O people of Garden of Eden, join me in praying to the mighty God, that He may send forth boundless holy fire to burn away this shameless evil spirit!
Given the widespread public outrage and the availability of popular support,
In the year 4626 of Norton, Holy Lord Church Duoxia convened the ' God-Conquering Grand Ceremony,' mobilizing all monasteries within the Human Federation and calling upon the people to gather inside and outside the churches to listen to Pope Duoxia's call and to pray together in their hearts, attempting to invoke the descent of the true God through the united faith of humanity!
They are determined to awaken the truly holy and majestic gods, to unleash the flames that scorch evil, and to forever banish that vile and shameless Pale Devil into that boundless purgatory!
