After Vanya finished speaking, Mukhtar paused for a moment, then continued.
"God's power is boundless. He can save the world and govern the world without any incarnation."
"Jiuyu has boundless divine power and a high status. He does not need to condescend to save the world and shepherd the world in person."
Vanya continued to respond to Mukhtar's words simply, while Mukhtar, holding the scripture in his hand, continued to question.
"The Lord has the supreme merit of saving the world, so he should personally collect the wishes of all the people. The incarnation is just to do the work, why does he need to collect the wishes of millions of people and take away his power?"
"The wishes of millions of people are also the thoughts, desires, sufferings, and sins of millions of people... Since the Savior has the supreme merit of saving the world, why should He be disturbed by the numerous distractions and desires of this world? He lives in the Sun Wheel Temple to cultivate and look down on the world, listening to the prayers of the people and handing them over to the Three Saints. Every person in this world is born to receive the grace of the Savior to save the world. Since we have been blessed, why should we be unsympathetic and ask the Savior to do everything for us personally?"
Vanya went on to speak to Mukhtar. She almost acted as a translator and gave her answer the moment Mukhtar finished asking the question. She even fought back at Mukhtar in the middle of a sentence. Mukhtar obviously did not expect that this young-looking nun in front of him could be so argumentative. This made him a little speechless for a moment as he had not been fully prepared beforehand.
Mukhtar was at a disadvantage in the debate, which was beyond the expectation of Shadi. At first, he was just a bystander, listening quietly. After Vanya responded to Mukhtar, he couldn't help but look more at Vanya. After seeing Shadi's performance, Mukhtar showed a little anger in his eyes, and paused for a while before continuing to speak.
"The light of the Three Saints only shines on your continent. Your church is deeply colluding with the powerful countries on the continent to exploit the people of Adus. When the people of Adus suffered, no believers of the Three Saints saved them. Instead, it was us, under the guidance of the glory above, who saved this country."
Mukhtar continued to speak. Listening to his remarks, Shadi's brows slightly frowned. Then Vanya turned her gaze to Shadi beside her and continued to speak.
"The greatest hero who saved this country is Mr. Shadi. It was through his unremitting struggle that he finally achieved his great cause. When he was a child, Mr. Shadi also worshipped in front of the altar of the Son of God. He went through many twists and turns, and continued to grow in the infinite crisis. In the end, he became a hero who saved the country. This is an achievement that ordinary people can hardly achieve. I think there must be some wonderful destiny in this. Under some kind of guidance, Mr. Shadi has come to this point today..."
Vanya said this to Shadi, she attributed the greatest credit for saving Adus to Shadi, not the rescue of the Advent Sect, and her words implied that Shadi was a believer from the Three Saints Sect. After hearing what Vanya said, Shadi looked at her again, but Mukhtar on the other side laughed.
"Hehe...you mean to say that Shadi is a believer of the Three Saints, right? Shadi, tell me yourself, who do you believe in?"
Mukhtar said this to Shadi. Shadi was silent for a while after listening to Mukhtar's words. Then he took a breath and spoke slowly.
"I believe in... the Supreme Being."
"Be more specific! Who is that person? One of the three saints, or the God? You used to be able to explain your side of the question very well." Mukhtar looked at Shadi and continued to speak in a serious tone. After hearing his words, Shadi did not answer immediately, but fell into another round of silence. His originally resolute eyes were filled with many emotions. His whole aura began to become depressed, like a silent volcano. Looking at him, Vanya couldn't help but have a hint of worry in her eyes.
"I believe in... a god who brought freedom and peace to Adus... that god is..."
"Lord Shadi! There is a conflict between the migrating tribe and the locals in the camp outside the city over water! There are hundreds of people gathered there! There is a possibility of a large-scale bloodbath, the situation is somewhat urgent! Please go and take a look!"
At this time, a revolutionary soldier suddenly ran over from a distance and spoke to Shadi anxiously. After listening to the soldier's words, Shadi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, and spoke to Vanya and Mukhtar.
"There is something urgent outside the city, I have to go over there first, so I can't accompany you for the time being. Let's meet again during the negotiations this afternoon..."
After Shadi finished speaking, he quickly left the scene with the revolutionary soldiers. For a moment, only Vanya and Mukhtar were left at the scene. After the two sides looked at each other, they left without saying a word.
Soon it was afternoon, and the first round of talks officially began. In the conference hall of the Adus Palace, three groups represented by Shadi, Mukhtar and Vanya sat at the negotiation table and began to formally discuss the Adus issue.
Just like the conversation between Vanya and Mukhtar this morning, this meeting was not pleasant. The parties began to have a heated discussion on important religious issues. The core of the discussion was whether the New Adusian faith should be rectified to save the Adventists.
Vanya represents the church. The bottom line of the church is that heresy in Adus must not be formalized. New Adus must draw a clear line with the Savior Adventists. The Savior Adventists demand the expulsion of all the Three Saints Churches and let the Savior Adventists take over all the Radiant Churches. The two sides have diametrically opposed views, and their differences are huge.
At this time, the attitude of Shadi, the leader of the revolutionary army, became the key among the keys. However, he rarely spoke during the entire meeting and remained silent most of the time. He did not make a clear statement until the end of the meeting.
Finally, the first meeting ended unhappily without any constructive results. After the meeting, almost everyone was silent. After bidding farewell to both parties, Shadi took a carriage back to his residence.
In the carriage, Sadie's expression was still extremely depressed. He looked at the street outside the window, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.
Just at this moment, an ethereal voice sounded beside him.
"Hey... I warned you a long time ago that working with that group of crazy believers in 'Deng' would cause big problems sooner or later. Now you are experiencing the bitterness of being caught between a rock and a hard place, kid."
Along with this figure, an illusory image appeared beside Shadi. It was the shadow of an almost emaciated mummy. He wore a long and slightly curved golden crown on his head, a veil on his face, and luxurious gold ornaments in the style of the First Dynasty of Ancient Ufeija. There was a ghostly fire burning in his pupils. After witnessing the shadow beside him, Shadi was not surprised at all, but started to murmur.
"Setut... What should I do now..."
