Chapter 227 Elders' Meeting

"Who compiled this legal code?"

Father Luke didn't hide anything and said directly, "The Lord of Darkness!"

After hearing Father Luke's words, Bibi Dong was at a loss for words. This codex was inscribed with the four characters "Codex of Light," yet now she was being told that it was compiled by the Dark Lord. What was going on? However, Bibi Dong also realized from this that the relationship between the Light Lord and the Dark Lord was truly exceptional. After all, if their relationship wasn't good, it would be impossible for them to grant each other such great power.

After that, Bibi Dong didn't ask any further questions. Having obtained the *Codex of Light*, she began to examine its contents. After a cursory reading, she couldn't help but admire the Dark Lord's genius. This *Codex of Light* was perfectly suited to the Spirit Hall's situation; it could be used directly without any problems. However, the codex was somewhat simplistic and crude; she wondered if the elders and even the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall would accept it.

Bibi Dong then handed the "Codex of Light" to Golden Crocodile Douluo, who began to examine it. Seeing that Bibi Dong and her group were reading it one by one, which was too slow, Father Luke directly used divine magic to instill the contents of the "Codex of Light" into the minds of the Papal Palace group.

After everyone had glanced through the book, they felt that the content was quite comprehensive, but the punishments for making mistakes seemed a bit too harsh.

“Father Luke, this code of law is very well written, but isn’t the punishment for wrongdoing a bit too harsh?”

Because Miguel had largely cleared away Bibi Dong's negative emotions, her mind was not yet twisted. This also made Bibi Dong a little apprehensive when she saw the punishments in the Codex.

"His Holiness the Pope is merciful, but in chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary. The Spirit Hall is at a critical juncture of life and death. Mercy towards those parasites is cruelty to ourselves. If we cannot eliminate them once and for all, similar situations will occur again in the coming decades. Therefore, in order to prevent chaos in the rear of the Spirit Hall, it is necessary to be ruthless!"

"I understand, but I still need to discuss this with the High Priest!"

Father Luke was fully aware of Bibi Dong's concerns, so he figured a little delay wouldn't hurt. After all, it wouldn't make a difference.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"

"Father Luke, please make yourself at home!"

Father Luke then headed towards the Temple of Light, while the group from the Papal Palace, led by Bibi Dong, went to the Papal Palace for a meeting. Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo went to the Hall of Offerings to fetch the remaining worshippers.

After the nine elders (originally there should have been ten elders, but Serpent Spear Douluo was protecting Qian Renxue in Heaven Dou City and could not return, so it became nine elders), the seven grand masters, and Qian Chonghuang had all arrived, Bibi Dong began to introduce the contents of the meeting to the others, whether or not to pass the "Code of Light" given by Father Luke.

When Qian Daoliu heard Bibi Dong mention the topic of the meeting, he was taken aback for a moment. Then, through the telepathic transmission of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Daoliu understood the reason and asked Qian Chonghuang, "Ancestor, do you think this code should be passed?"

Qian Daoliu was very clear that his ancestor had joined the lineage of the Lord of Light, so he was extremely familiar with the Codex of Light.

"It should be approved. The rules that the Spirit Hall has always followed are those passed down from the Angel God. The Angel God is merciful, so he didn't set up many punishments, which has led to serious corruption within the Spirit Hall. Now, we don't have much time left. The guy who will seize the Spirit Hall's fortune has been born. With that guy's fortune, if we can't weaken the fortune he possesses, he might become a god in his twenties!"
