The Truth: Faith Crystals
Qingding City.
Liu Yi, Bai Qianqian, and Little Yellow, who had concealed their true appearances with illusion magic, were walking on the streets of Qingding City.
Liu Yi's gaze swept across the pedestrians, and he found that those dressed in fine clothes were almost nowhere to be seen. The vast majority of people were wearing tattered coarse linen clothes, and they were all sallow and emaciated.
Their eyes were either empty and numb, or they exuded an almost morbid fanaticism.
The houses on both sides of the street were dilapidated, with thatched huts everywhere and very few even slightly intact brick and tile houses.
Seeing this scene before him, and combining it with the information he had received earlier, Liu Yi finally understood why he had a premonition that this place was not suitable for Dissemination System.
The so-called Divine Kingdom is actually controlled by cultivators, or rather, by the Temple of the God of Light.
This is a place completely ruled by religion.
They may be skilled at proselytizing and brainwashing, but their governance abilities are utterly terrible.
It's even possible that they deliberately plunged the people into hardship in order to solidify their so-called faith.
If the Dissemination System here, it would likely be discovered by the temple monks very quickly.
They will certainly condemn the system as evil, not only strictly prohibiting its dissemination but also ruthlessly killing those who bind to it.
For the monks of the Temple of the God of Light, killing people is probably effortless, and they don't even consider the people under their rule as human beings.
"Poor, so poor!"
Little Yellow couldn't help but complain, "I've traveled to so many countries with my owner, and I've never seen such a poor place. I can't even see a single rich person."
"This place is completely devoid of development; what kind of the Divine Kingdom is this? It's more like a poor country."
Bai Qianqian had already learned about the situation in other countries through social platforms such as TikTok and forums, but she hadn't had a deep understanding of them before.
It wasn't until she stepped into the city of this Divine Kingdom and witnessed such a scene with her own eyes that she was deeply shocked and finally understood how terrible the true situation of the Divine Kingdom was.
"To call yourself Divine Kingdom on earth is a misnomer; in my opinion, 'hell on earth' would be a more fitting description." Her tone was icy, her eyes filled with rage.
"The Temple of the God of Light is a malignant tumor, only capable of exploitation and not development, harming all living beings. Such an existence should be completely eradicated."
"That's right, the entire Temple of the God of Light should be destroyed!" Little Yellow immediately chimed in.
"They treat the people like livestock. Look at their fanatical expressions; their brainwashing methods are truly impressive."
Bai Qianqian turned to Liu Yi and asked, "Big brother, can I Dissemination System in the Divine Kingdom? Perhaps with the system, the situation here can change."
"It will become like a place with system coverage, where everyone can have enough to eat, live in good houses, and life will become better."
Liu Yi sighed, "It's no use. The Divine Kingdom is different from other countries. The cultivators here are active in the mortal world and have a very strong control over the country."
"Furthermore, the people of the Divine Kingdom are far too devout to the Temple of the God of Light. Once the system spreads, it will be quickly discovered by the cultivators of the Temple of the God of Light."
"In order to maintain their rule, they will label those bound to the system as heretics and kill them all; even those not bound to the system may suffer the same fate."
"It's not worth causing so many people to die for no reason."
"The only way to resolve the situation in the Divine Kingdom is to completely destroy the Temple of the God of Light, and even eliminate the so-called God of Light."
Bai Qianqian's face instantly darkened; the intelligent woman immediately understood the crux of the problem.
But in an instant, her face hardened again, her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said in a fierce tone:
"Then kill them all! If there are ten thousand temple cultivators, kill ten thousand; if there are a million, kill a million; if there are a hundred million, kill a hundred million, until they are all wiped out, until not a single temple cultivator remains!"
Liu Yi was immediately startled when he saw her murderous aura, as if she were about to kill the heavens and the earth and slaughter all living beings.
"Don't let external factors affect your State of Mind. Although killing can solve problems, you can't just focus on killing; in the end, it will only harm yourself and others."
"Yes, don't worry, big brother, I know what's important," Bai Qianqian replied softly, her tone much calmer.
Liu Yi's gaze fell upon the magnificent and luxurious Temple of the God of Light in front of him, which was comparable to a royal palace.
The square in front of the temple was packed with people, their expressions fervent, as they lined up to enter the temple.
"Let's go, let's go kill someone."
After crossing the spacious temple square, we arrived directly at the entrance to the main temple.
Liu Yi glanced at the people about to enter the temple, a cold smile playing on his lips:
"The temple has important matters to attend to today and will not be receiving worshippers at the moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and stepped into the main hall, slamming the heavy temple door shut with a loud bang.
Liu Yi looked at the people lining up inside the hall to offer incense and worship the God of Light.
He immediately pointed his finger and cast an illusion, putting them to sleep.
The temple monks quickly sensed something was amiss and shouted angrily, "Who are you? You're courting death, daring to act so recklessly in the Temple of the God of Light!"
"Kill."
Liu Yi didn't bother with words. With a light tap of his finger, a sharp finger strike shot out, instantly piercing the head of the temple cultivator.
He spread his Divine Sense, covering the entire temple, and attacked as he moved forward.
In the blink of an eye, thirty-two temple monks had perished at his hands.
"Sinner! How dare you trespass into the Temple of the God of Light and slaughter the divine messenger! The God of Light will surely punish you!"
Han Qi, the temple master of the Qingding City Temple of the God of Light, noticed that Liu Yi was slaughtering the temple's cultivators. He roared and his spiritual power surged as he prepared to attack Liu Yi.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
These charlatans have clearly been high and mighty for too long; even their speech carries the same arrogant tone, they're practically identical.
Too lazy to say anything more, he reached out and grabbed, and a giant hand brimming with immense True Power suddenly appeared, instantly seizing Han Qi.
With a muffled "crack," Han Qi's Dantian and Golden Core were shattered.
The giant hand then released its grip, slamming the limp Han Qi heavily to the ground.
Han Qi felt excruciating pain all over his body. The moment his Dantian and Golden Core shattered, he was filled with despair.
He had just obtained the Heavenly Spirit Root and originally had the hope of cultivating to a higher realm, and even had the opportunity to become a high-ranking member of the Temple of the God of Light.
But today, by chance, I met Liu Yi, and in an instant, all my ideals and ambitions vanished like bubbles.
At that moment, a cold voice rang in my ears. "You are Han Qi, the temple master of the Qingding City Temple of the God of Light?"
Han Qi looked up at Liu Yi in front of him, struggled to his feet, and repeatedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.
"Yes, I am Han Qi! Please spare my life, sir! Please spare my life, sir!"
"It's good that you're Han Qi." Liu Yi grabbed his head and immediately used the Soul Search Technique.
They began to peruse Han Qi's memories.
He investigated the cause of Bai Qianqian's brother's death, the power and secrets of the Temple of the God of Light, and the location of the temple's treasure vault.
Han Qi let out a painful roar, saliva streaming down his face, and in a short while, his eyes became empty and dull.
After the soul search was completed, Liu Yi's eyes gleamed, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Faith Crystal! I didn't expect to gain so much. The Temple of the God of Light is indeed quite remarkable."
She casually tossed Han Qi to Bai Qianqian's feet, saying, "He's the one who stole your brother's Heavenly Spirit Root. He's yours to deal with."
