Chapter 388 Next is the time of God’s grace

Seeing his own people retreating without hesitation and giving up on saving him, the captured messenger of God was filled with despair and regret. He wished he would not have jumped here earlier.

He clearly wanted to stand up for the high priest, but after this moment, he was afraid that he only had one breath left.

The residents who wanted to join Ye Tianxuan couldn't wait, "I'm strong, I'll go first!"

"I'm usually busy earning more life, so I've developed a muscular body. I'm quite strong, so I'm in the back of the queue!"

"What a coincidence! I'm the same. I'm busy in the wind and rain. Who would be short of energy?"

Everyone rushed forward and slapped the messenger of God who had just been cursing and talking without thinking on the face one after another. Each slap was even louder than the last, as if the louder the slap, the more respect it showed for God Ye. Everyone was working very hard.

The hesitant residents standing and watching from a distance were all terrified.

The messengers of Changsheng City, no matter when the God of Longevity was in the past or when the high priest was in power later, have always been superior to the residents. They are all people who work for God. They only slap others and show their displeasure to others. When have they ever been slapped like this, and in public?

After the farce just now, the one who was slapped now was not just the messenger of God, but the authority of the high priest was challenged in public.

The neutral residents were trembling with fear. In the end, they still wanted to live a stable life. The current crisis in Changsheng City could not threaten them, the middle-class residents who still had a lot of life left. They just watched, watching the group of dying people celebrating. After choosing the new god, they all looked radiant, without any of the frustration they had when they knelt in front of the main city.

While the crowd below was slapping each other, Ye Tianxuan was not idle either. He grabbed a familiar person and began to ask about the basic operation of Changsheng City.

It is never known how Changsheng City currently operates.

The currency is life span, but in the entire Changsheng City, only the high priest can trade life span. However, the high priest alone cannot trade life spans with so many people in Changsheng City every day. He would be exhausted.

So, based on the existing instruments for detecting life span, the high priest used his own power to transform some instruments to temporarily trade and store life spans, making a big deal once a week, but this deal involved using power on all machines.

"Do you see this?" the resident held up a blue wristband. "When the gods descended, they gifted some instruments with the power to transform objects into detectors. These items also served as reminders of a person's lifespan. Their original intentions were good, but after the gods vanished, these items became temporary tools for trading lifespans."

"Residents can exchange items for instruments to exchange for the currency we originally used, and then use the currency to trade for life in the main city."

After the residents' explanation, Ye Tianxuan pondered it carefully and finally understood. "For example, if I use an item on my body to register on the instrument, and then consume my lifespan to obtain a large amount of currency, you can use this currency to trade for the lifespan you can actually use in the main city."

"And the lifespan I've stored in the device will be collected by the High Priest once a week and then transferred to the device in the main city, where it can be redeemed by the residents themselves."

The man nodded and pulled out a small gold coin from his pocket. "This is the currency we used originally. Now its value represents lifespan. However, in the main city, only those who have more than fifty instruments can exchange for lifespan. Therefore, those who do not have enough can't exchange for lifespan and can only wait to die."

Ye Tianxuan nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder someone was kneeling in front of the main city begging for life. It turns out they were begging for this. If you collect fifty of them, you can exchange them for some time to continue living."

"Yes..." The residents nodded, but in fact they couldn't beg for anything, and no one would trade their life with others.

"Okay, then let's set a small goal first." Ye Tianxuan held a cigarette in his mouth and slowly raised his finger, "Exchange the lifespan of all the instruments in Changsheng City."

"Ah?" The resident who was explaining to Ye Tianxuan was stunned. "People in Changsheng City trade their lifespans every day. If you exchange them all... what will happen to the others?"

Ye Tianxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Others can only come to me or ask the high priest for help."

The residents of Changsheng City have no lifespans to exchange, and they are anxious. They can only ask the high priest for help.

The high priest changed from exchanging lifespans once a week to exchanging lifespans once a day. Even though she kept extracting the lifespans that Ye Tianxuan had traded into the machine and providing them to the residents of Changsheng City, as long as Ye Tianxuan had people extract the lifespans fast enough, the residents of Changsheng City would still not be able to exchange them.

For one or two days, they can still comfort themselves, but after a week or two, as they look at their ever-decreasing lifespan, holding a pile of gold coins in their hands but unable to exchange them for actual lifespan, they will become anxious, even more anxious than those who are dying now.

The residents across the street were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Although it's the High Priest who trades lifespans, for the residents, it's the instruments left by the gods that provide them with lifespans. When the instruments are controlled, they can no longer trade for lifespans. Even praying to the High Priest is useless, so they can only kneel down and worship you, right?"

Ye Tianxuan nodded, and this kind of squandering was something only he, who now had infinite lifespan, could do.

He exchanged his own lifespan for a small mountain of gold, and then exchanged all the lifespans stored in the main city's instruments. He could give them to anyone, but not to the high priest's people.

"This is indeed something that only God can do. With my pitiful life span, let alone exchanging it all, it's not even enough to fill the gaps." The person opposite shook his head, marveling at God's decisiveness. There are really people who remain calm when talking about consuming life span.

That calm attitude is like that of a real god, who doesn't care about the life he is wasting or losing.

"Okay, now that we've decided what to do, let's do it right away!" Ye Tianxuan stood up, dusted himself off, raised his megaphone, and turned to shout to the people below, "Alright, the ceremony is over. Those who are willing, follow me now. Next, it's time for God's grace!"

The people who were still slapping each other were stunned, and looked up at Ye Tianxuan with sparkling eyes. They cheered and surrounded Ye Tianxuan as he walked down the stairs with anticipation, crowding around him and leaving the main city.

After the brief farce and chaos, only the residents who still believed in the high priest and the messenger with a red and swollen face were left looking at each other in confusion.

Most of the residents of Changsheng City remained. Only those who faced death would decisively choose Ye Tianxuan. All this was within the high priest's expectations.

The young and naive girl stood on the high main city, looking at the figure being escorted away, and glanced at the remaining people out of the corner of her eye.

"As expected, there are more people who will not abandon the God of Immortality. I want to see what kind of trouble you can cause in the City of Immortality with those dying people."
