Walking along the path connecting the Records Office and the Holy Soul Hall, the fat cardinal was momentarily stunned by the sudden trust shown by the Son of God:
Drafting such a momentous imperial edict was something His Highness the Son of God did not even glance at; he was truly remarkable.
It's true what they say: if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them!
That must be it. Surely His Highness isn't unaware of what this document means?
If that's the case, then all the suggestions I made inside should actually be implemented...
Luxiusi, I've done my part for you.
With the help of kind-hearted Soul Returner copied and spread the message, by noon, Geliwusi's document was posted at every propaganda point throughout the Holy City, and many players tirelessly went through the streets and alleys, repeatedly reciting its contents.
"[By the grace of the Almighty Tree God, Ed Adrian, descendant of the Creator, son of the World Tree, agent of God, guardian of the Theocracy, and Lord of all believers, extends His blessings and well-being to all residents and devout believers of the Holy City and the twelve provinces of the Theocracy.]"
"This is to be known throughout the country:
"For a century, Demonic Tide have raged, the world has been in chaos, leading to the split of the Holy Church and the emergence of heresies:"
"One of them broke his oath, rebelled against the Tree God, colluded with the vampires, and turned against his own kind, resulting in the massacre of many people in the northern part of the Theocracy. The vampires carried out large-scale blood sacrifices, and the civilians died one after another, numbering as many as a million."
"One is to use the name of 'staining' to blaspheme divine grace and commit many transgressions and illegal acts, with the intention of subverting the holy religion, distorting divine pronouncements, usurping Authority, and creating false gods."
"Now that the Son of God has returned and personally captured the enemy leader Cuiske Schultz, the four directions should be at peace. We should honor the Holy Descendant, restore peace, let the Tree God protect us again, and let justice return."
"However, the heretical sect of 'tainted defilement' is deeply rooted and, even in dire straits, remains unrepentant, attempting to resist the descendants of the saints and nobles, and has even gathered a large army to put up a stubborn resistance."
"Even more so Sailesi Richter, the leader of the heretics, knowing that the city was about to fall and was at its end, still spread illusions, attempting to lead millions of devout believers to their doom."
"Fortunately, with the protection of the Son of God and the assistance of the heavenly soldiers who Soul Returner, the Holy City was restored in just one day and one night."
"Those who have fallen will be cleansed again, and those Stained Ones will be beheaded. The enemy leader Sailesi Richter, was also captured by former Cardinal Geliwusi Kluge."
"However, Cardinal Luxiusi Savigny, in order to protect the faithful from the illusion, fought alone against a powerful enemy and ultimately prevented the loss of half the city, but he had already Called by the Lord's Grace."
" The Son of God hereby issues this decree:"
Cardinal Luxiusi Savigny was posthumously Saint and his biography was included in the Holy Scripture. The Holy Tree Cathedral in the Holy City was later renovated with a portrait, relief, and mural of Luxiusi Savigny and renamed the Saint Savini Cathedral.
"' The Oathbreaker ' Cuiske Schultz, ' The Fallen One ' Sailesi Richter, and their henchmen of serious crimes will be publicly executed in the square in three days. Those with moderate crimes will be incorporated into the ' Wild Hunt,' while those with minor crimes will be sentenced to labor reform."
"All guilty persons are not allowed to seek death before the end of their sentence. In addition, all believers can report and expose any concealed crimes, and once verified, the punishment will be increased."
"Wherever this decree reaches, the Holy Church will be unified once again, and there will be no more heresy."
"At the end of midsummer in the year 1453 (Sacred Calendar), at the Holy City Records Office "
The Soul Returner to their homes hawked the contents of the document from street to street, and plastered Dungeon made using " Alienation woodblock printing" everywhere.
In fact, since the residents of the Holy City have no worries about food and clothing, their average level of education is relatively high. They even read medieval dross like the Holy Scripture in their daily lives, so literacy is naturally not a problem.
After being drawn in by the shouts of the Soul Returner, ordinary citizens hiding in their homes would immediately rush out, tear off a notice, and take it home. The notice would then be passed around among neighbors, thus spreading the news even faster.
By that afternoon, many residents of the Holy City had already dared to venture out, and some even took the initiative to try to make contact with the " Soul Returner " who seemed to have extraordinary energy and personality.
They initially thought they were a bunch of crazy guys, after all, many locals had witnessed their reckless fighting style during the previous city cleanup campaign.
However, after they actually came into contact with them, the local indigenous people discovered that these Soul Returner were surprisingly easy to get along with, and most importantly, their faith was truly pure!
Almost all common religious texts, even those they themselves didn't fully understand, could be recited verbatim by the Soul Returner after just a moment's thought.
How pure, how devout!
The naive and innocent residents of the Holy City quickly accepted the existence of the Soul Returner, completely unaware that the moment they uttered the names of certain ancient texts, countless Pixel Blue Dragon had already begun frantically searching through the sea of books at the edge of the players' field of vision.
Powered by faith, the million civilians of the Holy City quickly became one with the Soul Returner. The players began to take on tasks such as repairing roofs, fixing walls, buying materials, and digging cellars, as if those people would have to live in dilapidated houses for the rest of their lives if they hadn't come to the Holy City.
However, many players actually knew what was going on. The street fighting and indoor battles in the North District lasted all night, and both players and the Stained Ones used all sorts of methods.
After such a battle, if there were only casualties and no damage to buildings or property, then players would probably start to doubt whether they were living in Elf's Dream.
By the time of the beheading three days later, the residents of the Holy City had fully accepted the existence of the Soul Returner.
With the spread of the famous scene where Ed easily captured countless symbiotic plants with a single pinch of his hand, this Son of God naturally gained the support of the locals of the Holy City (who dared not not support him).
That morning, Ed went to the execution platform in the Holy City Square. Below, a dense crowd of Soul Returner and locals jostled for a glimpse of what the two beheaded cardinals looked like.
Luorui'er's human skin mask was put back on her face, and she still felt that she was Sailesi, so there was no need to gag her.
Meanwhile, Cuiske, standing beside her, looked completely relieved, as if he had finally made it to this day.
Ed had considered whether to keep Cuiske, but after much thought, he decided it was better to kill him to demonstrate his determination to rebuild order.
After having his Adelaide True Blood and symbiotic plant drained, this guy became a complete blank slate, a so-called " High Tier punching bag." Apart from having a thicker health bar, he had no combat power whatsoever, and it wouldn't hurt to see him die.
Dozens of the most heinous Stained Ones were brought up by the Holy Crusaders Pure Ones after the two, and finally, the executioner Nuolun walked up to the execution platform.
This fanatical Pure Ones spent half the night honing his sword, hoping to make a good impression today. His rather formal attire is certainly "man-slaying" and "woman-slaying."
