For a religion that has never performed any miracles in its long history, the fact that Catholicism or various denominations based on the Bible have developed to their current level must have something extraordinary about them.
What Wu You valued was their ability to spread their faith.
Don't underestimate this ability; it is also a powerful tool, another spiritual weapon to help the Earth achieve its "great rejuvenation."
As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Once the situation in a certain part of the universe is stabilized, Wu You will not be able to keep spending his energy maintaining those trivial matters.
Management can be left to the governments of various countries, and the belief in the Star Gods can naturally be left to the Vatican to develop in the future.
However, the original monotheistic or Trinity belief of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit will be changed to a more complex system of interstellar gods.
Having grasped the "truth," the Vatican will no longer consider itself a servant of God, but will instead become the master, and its relationship with other "gods" will merely be one of mutual assistance within the Earth's sphere.
Of course, alchemical beings will also be involved in both management and the spread of faith. The World Tree Council is not just a figurehead; it is essentially just a link in the vested interests of the human race.
...
While the six World Tree Allies were rapidly operating their extraterrestrial-related projects, steadily developing their own starship forces, and discussing issues concerning the Vatican, the situation was becoming increasingly complex.
Another bombshell announcement has been made within the organization.
At the end of July, the Angel race formally submitted a note to the six major powers of the World Tree Alliance.
The content requests permission for the Angel race to completely purge the "Demon Party" from all countries' territories around the world.
The Fantasy Species' diplomatic note was very formal, leaving the World Tree Alliance both pleased and worried.
They were pleased because, as a significant race among the fantasy species, the Angels' sending a note to the World Tree Alliance in accordance with human regulations was clearly an acknowledgment and respect for their status. As far as they knew, the only other supernatural forces among humans to receive such a note were those in the human race.
As for the other human nations, sorry, they don't even give you a second glance; the six nations represent them all.
This greatly enhanced the sense of belonging among the World Tree Allies. Even though it was just the right to know, it reached the level of dignity in terms of human emotions.
However, worries are also inevitable.
The phrase "complete purge" carries considerable weight, and the term "evil henchmen" encompasses a very broad range.
Several major powers have actually noticed some cult-like groups, all of which have a trace of the Abyss Demon behind them, and there are also many people who blindly worship the demon.
So here's the problem: encountering a true Abyss Demon is one thing, but in the eyes of the Angels, these people are all "Demon followers" who need to be "purged".
...
Three days after receiving the first formal note from the fantasy species, the World Tree Alliance held an emergency meeting in a special virtual conference room set up in China, where mental communication could perfectly translate into language information.
The enormous conference room is set in the heart of a natural forest, surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, so lifelike that it's impossible to distinguish it from reality.
The attendees were mostly high-ranking political and military representatives from the six countries, as well as representatives from the Dark Sanctuary, the Immortal Abode, and the Deep Blue Order.
China, the United States, and the United Kingdom are naturally accustomed to the supernatural forces of the three human races, but Germany, France, and Russia are seeing this for the first time, even in virtual space.
A young officer with the rank of major general in the French group secretly glanced at the seats occupied by the representatives of the three supernatural forces.
There, the surrounding scenery was blurry, and even their figures had a slight sense of distortion, making them seem out of place with the realistic natural environment around them.
However, everyone present already understood why.
It wasn't that they wanted to show off, but rather that no matter how realistic the virtual reality was, it was still just a virtual space. The representatives of the three forces were all beings containing terrifying energy, with exceptionally powerful souls. When they entered the virtual space, they would involuntarily interfere with the special effects of the space.
"Gentlemen, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting. We must come up with a reliable solution as soon as possible."
"I believe everyone here is aware of the Angel Clan's note. As the chairperson of this meeting, I suggest we get straight to the topic of discussion. Any objections should be raised within 10 seconds."
After a short while, seeing that no one had any objections, the meeting proceeded directly to the discussion phase.
"As a representative of China, I will first raise my views and questions. Please raise your doubts and opinions later."
"I think it's possible to negotiate with the Angels, whereby we can carry out the reorganization ourselves, with them merely playing a supporting role?"
"Impossible, they won't agree. These guys hate the Abyss Demons to the bone, far more than any other race on Earth. They will never stand idly by."
A representative of the Dark Sanctuary immediately rejected the proposal.
An American general raised his hand to ask a question.
"So, where do we humans stand in terms of military strength compared to the angels?"
One of the Taoist priests from the Immortal Abode stroked his beard and replied.
"The overall strength of the human race naturally surpasses that of the angel race."
The French Minister of Defense directly addressed the issue.
“I understand General Orland’s thoughts, but although the overall strength of the human race is stronger than that of the angel race, we have so many civilians. With firefighting going on everywhere, we will be the ones who suffer in a fight between the two races. Moreover, the World Tree Council will not allow Earth to continue to fight amongst itself.”
"Could the Observer please say something? After all, he is also a human."
"This situation is primarily a matter of diplomacy between the two ethnic groups. Under what pretext do you, Your Excellency the Observer, want to intervene?"
Li Liwen, a representative of the fifth special operations group, also raised his hand to ask a question.
"What exactly is the extent of the so-called complete purge by the Angel race? If the people who have been misled by demons are brought back to their senses, would that also count as a purge?"
It was the Taoist priest from the Immortal Abode who answered the question.
"Although this point was not explicitly stated in the note, the Angels believed that the method of purging meant complete 'purification' without leaving any trace, which in other words was even more ruthless than grinding bones to dust."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people cursed inwardly.
Most people are already familiar with the general background information of the Angel race.
It is said that back in Earth's glorious era, the Angels and the Abyss Demons were actually the two most powerful races with the best relationship, and could be called brothers.
This is completely different from the legends told by ordinary people.
However, later, a group of creatures, represented by the Abyss Demons, rebelled against Earth, and the Angel race suffered the most heavy losses. Because the Angel race had such a good relationship with the Abyss Demons, the other races on Earth also distrusted the Angel race.
For a time, the angel race was caught in a situation where they were neither human nor bullied, and thus accumulated unimaginable resentment towards the Abyss Demons, to the point that they were almost always at each other's throats.
This is closer to the version of the legend that is commonly circulated among ordinary people.
"The Abyss Demons have always wanted to return to the Council. These traitors certainly value our human race, but why don't they think about how to deal with the Angels first?"
A senior British official couldn't help but complain.
"I guess they also know that offending the angel race is too serious, so they gave up on this plan and want to maintain it through the council's regulations after returning."
"And then they develop cult followers among our ignorant ordinary humans, making us humans take the blame? I really want to shoot them dead!!"
"I propose that this note be sent directly to the World Tree Council, so that the other races can judge the matter!"
"Wouldn't that make us humans seem too weak, not even responding to a formal note?"
"Then what do you suggest? We can't fight, and we can't agree either!"
"Thump~"
A powerful mage's virtual staff struck the ground, silencing the heated argument.
"This kind of argument is pointless. We can agree that the angels should cleanse the demons that are entrenched in the human race, which is also in the human race's interest. However, we must ensure that humans are not harmed. Even if approval is required, it should be done by us, not by the angels!"
"Agreed, send it back accordingly!"
"I second that. I don't think the Angel race would dare to offend us too much right now. Bringing the Vatican into this should also have some effect."
The three supernatural forces have successively made statements.
The six great powers discussed the matter and agreed that it was feasible. They planned to supplement the detailed terms and send it back to the Angel race. If the Angel race did not agree, they would meet with the council directly.
Everyone understands that regardless of the method used, this purge is inevitable.
P.S.: Demons and other creatures of the dark side will eventually have to return to the council.
