Chapter 110: Prophet and Heretic

Chapter 110: Prophet and Heretic

The Yao City monument was engraved with a new name.

"Hamira: The first legendary prophet of Yao City, she wrote the ’Divine Gospel’ and led Yao City in spreading the belief in the gods, completing an unprecedented pilgrimage. She represents courage and perseverance, and is a role model for all future generations."

People gathered around the monument to mourn this legendary prophet.

In Yao City, everyone wore cotton to commemorate Hamira’s passing.

But life had to go on.

Before long, Yao City returned to its usual order.

A new reminder appeared on the screen.

- A believer has mastered theology. Do you want to convert her into a prophet?

[Yes] [No]

Lu Yao put away his melancholy.

The appearance of a third-generation prophet was really fast, it was truly a new generation replacing the old.

He immediately clicked "Yes" and switched to the perspective of the temple.

Inside the temple, there was now a female figure with a scorpion braid holding the "Gospel," now 30 years old.

...

Lu Yao was puzzled.

What’s going on here!

Why did Yao Shao, who was a good hero, become a prophet?

With this pile of skills, she knows a little bit about everything.

However, since the other party chose to be a prophet, Lu Yao respected her personal choice.

With Hamira’s passing, Yao City did indeed have a gap in prophets.

Yao Shao knelt in front of the statue and said, "God Yao, I used to be a pharmacist and wanted to heal patients. However, the citizens of Yao City do not believe in pharmacists."

"Medicine is always in short supply, and there are not many diseases that can be cured."

"So everyone thinks that pharmacists are useless, more like frauds. Many people believe that praying and worshiping the temple is the way to cure diseases."

"I think that if I can study theology at the Theological Academy and combine it with herbal medicine, I should be able to help more people."

"God, this is my truest thought."

"I know it’s really silly, but I want to give it a try..."

What was strange was that this evil god did not have a specific altar or statue. The "White God" seemed more like a legend passed down by word of mouth.

Selus drove the "Skeleton King" all over the Eastern Continent, but found no suspicious items related to it.

The Lord of the Deep Sea patrolled the oceans and found no stone statues or temples.

Isabella rode her magic wand, flying over the entire world, but still found nothing.

Lu Yao was a bit puzzled.

If it couldn’t be found on land, sea, or air, could this "White God" be a fake?

Did the little people make up an evil god?

He ordered Isabella to interrogate the heretics.

Isabella quickly gave feedback.

"Sir, they have never seen the statue of the ’White God’, they only heard about it from others. They say that as long as you worship the White God, silently recite the name of the White God in your heart, and offer your faith, you can receive the grace of the White God."

"The White God will give them gems and pearls."

"That’s why they believe in the White God."

This reason for belief was very sufficient.

Lu Yao became interested in the identity of the "White God".

Isabella continued, "According to them, the first believer who spread the faith of the ’White God’ was Salt Long. However, Salt Long has been missing for a long time, and they don’t know where to find him."

Salt Long.

Lu Yao suddenly remembered.

Wasn’t he the oldest of the three children from the Salt Clan?

The last time he saw Salt Long, he was only eight years old, and now he should be quite old.

Others might not know, but Lu Yao, as a god, saw it clearly. Salt Long’s father was the commander of Salt City, the "Corrupted Guard" Salt Ger - he was suspected of embezzlement.

Faced with the Apostle’s questioning, Salt Ger showed a fearful expression.

"Apostle, I don’t know why this happened... Salt Long went out to sea with a ship when he was thirteen."

"That ship sank into the northern deep sea, and there were no survivors."

The commander of Salt City said tremblingly, "Not long ago, a merchant in the city said that some islanders came to sell gems, and the leader of them claimed to be Salt Long. I thought it was just a coincidence."

"But when I saw the person, I realized that it was indeed him."

"But Salt Long absolutely refused to tell me what had happened in the past twenty years."

"Later I found out that they were using gems to tempt the citizens and secretly spreading the faith of the evil god in the city..."

It seemed that the "White God" did exist.

The sea and the land had been searched over and over again, it was impossible to hide.

So, could it be possible that the "White God" was hiding under the sea?

Lu Yao was somewhat eager to try.

Finally, a new player had entered the game!
