Chapter 391 An ordinary person can actually call himself a god
As soon as the high priest gave the order, the main city immediately started to operate, and the messengers took action and went to the streets to bring back all the instruments.
At this moment, the scene was in a mess after Ye Tianxuan and all his believers had a carnival. Many of those once extremely precious life gold coins were scattered on both sides of the street. In the past, even if one fell, people would scramble for it, but now the gods' messengers could pick up a whole bag of them along the way.
"This is truly horrifying... This is even after they've squandered the money they didn't sweep away..." A divine messenger, looking at his small bag of life gold coins, fell into confusion. "I only earned this much after working for the main city for a month, and now I can find them just by picking up trash on the roadside... Do life gold coins really still have value?"
"Don't think too much. He's just a person of unknown origin. Although he has a long lifespan, he won't be able to favor our Changsheng City for long. We will wait until the God of Longevity returns, and then we can return to the old days."
"But can't we return to the past by following that Ye Shen?"
"Are you going to betray the God of Immortality? He's the one who has been watching over us for so long. He won't give up on us, and neither can we. This may just be a test from God. Once we get through it, we'll continue to be favored by God."
"...Maybe so." The messenger holding the bag shook his head and sighed. He began to envy those believers who believed in Lord Ye. Their good days had come, but those who continued to believe in the God of Immortality still had hard times ahead.
But they could still live a life. They used to live better than these residents, and all they would have to endure in the future would be a little worse than theirs. However, the status of the envoy of God was there, and no matter how many life gold coins the residents had, they had to go to the main city to exchange them. The status of the high priest was unshakable.
Thinking of this, they felt a little relieved and continued to sweep away the remaining life gold coins on both sides of the street, and then moved the instruments that were empty of gold coins to the main city.
Because the supplies needed by the shops have also been bought up, many shops have closed, so that Changsheng City is particularly deserted at this moment. Everyone is staying at home, counting their life gold coins and enjoying the future.
When the high priest replenishes his lifespan, they will use these lifespan gold coins to exchange for lifespan and supplies, and their lives will only get better and better.
Because there are too many lifespan gold coins in the entire Changsheng City, the high priest has raised the threshold for exchanging lifespan gold coins. The original minimum exchange amount was fifty lifespan gold coins, but now it has been increased to five hundred. However, considering the lifespan gold coins in the hands of the current residents of the city, the impact on them is still not significant.
The goal of the high priest is to gradually raise the threshold for exchanging life spans, so that the value of life span remains extremely important in Changsheng City.
However, he was unaware that Ye Tianxuan's actions were more decisive and ruthless.
When the life span was stored in the instrument of the main city again, the people who were watching the main city quickly went back to report, and then a large number of people holding life span gold coins crowded to the front of the main city in an organized and disciplined manner at a very fast speed, and exchanged all the newly stored life spans.
Only half an hour passed from the time the instruments for exchanging life spans were moved out to the time they were all cleared out. During this half hour, the queue in front of the main city was almost entirely controlled by that group of organized and disciplined people. The other residents did not exchange anything at all. They came with many life span gold coins, but could only stand a few meters away and worry.
"High Priest! Someone is here to rob us with lifespan gold coins!!" The person who came to report really didn't want to shout like that, but judging from the aura at the door, it really seemed like someone was here to rob us of our lifespan resources. It was too tough and overbearing.
"I know." Standing by the window and staring
She stared at the dense crowd gathered below, and her eyes fell directly on the man sitting in the corner outside the crowd, holding a loudspeaker and planning the team.
Ye Shen, it’s really funny. An ordinary person who is respected by others can actually call himself a god.
"He doesn't have the power to trade lifespans. Even if he had an infinite lifespan, he couldn't give it to others. He's using me," the high priest murmured slowly. "He's using me as a middleman, storing his own lifespan in the machine and then letting his followers snatch it. It's a disguised way of distributing his lifespan to his followers, but it's just passing through my hands."
"So what should we do? Many residents of Changsheng City haven't redeemed their lifespans, but High Priest, when you save your lifespans later, they'll still be snatched away by his followers. Isn't that just taking out all the lifespans you saved and giving them to your followers? We're working for nothing!" A divine messenger gnashed his teeth in anger. These people are simply hooligans! They don't care about the lives of others!
"Should we continue pretending to live longer?" another bewildered divine messenger suggested, "No one else has redeemed theirs yet?"
"You can't keep pretending." The high priest frowned unhappily, glancing at the others outside the crowd. Those residents who hadn't exchanged their lifespan coins for anything were all standing outside. "Even if you pretend, they'll just be snatched away by that man's followers. The other residents of Changsheng City won't be able to get any."
But the high priest knew that whether she pretended or not, she was caught between a rock and a hard place. If she continued to fill her lifespan, it would only be snatched away by the man's followers, and if she didn't pretend, the residents wouldn't be able to redeem it.
But since the residents couldn't redeem it anyway, she simply stopped replenishing her lifespan. She couldn't let the man's followers get away with it.
"If we don't replenish their lifespans, the residents of Changsheng City will probably make trouble... Everyone is very anxious because they can't exchange their lifespans." The gods' messengers scratched their heads and also felt the difficulty that the high priest was forced into.
The high priest pondered for a few seconds, then turned and ordered, "Issue a notice saying that due to the arrival of the false god, the life span of Changsheng City cannot be circulated. Let them hate that man! Divert their anger there."
"Yes, yes!" One of the gods' messengers hurried down to issue the notice.
Another divine messenger who remained here murmured, "High Priest, besides the issue of lifespan, there is also the urgent issue of supplies.
"Perhaps those in Changsheng City who don't believe in Ye Shen are all people with sufficient lifespans and are not in immediate danger of death. This can help to alleviate the issue of lifespan, but the bigger problem now is... at least half of Changsheng City's circulating supplies have also been swept away by Ye Shen."
The divine messenger standing behind him stepped forward with a troubled look on his face and whispered, "Originally, we controlled some of Changsheng City's basic resources. Merchants would exchange them with us in exchange for lifespans. They would then sell the resources in Changsheng City and put the city's lower-class residents to work to obtain more supplies.
"But now the lower-class residents have all turned to Ye Shen, and merchants are using large amounts of life gold coins to exchange for new supplies from us. We simply don't have enough supplies in our main city."
The high priest's face darkened, and his eyes fell outside the main city with anger, and happened to meet Ye Tianxuan's gaze as he fanned himself and looked up.
Ye Tianxuan raised his hand and greeted with a smile. His calm appearance made the high priest particularly angry.
