Chapter 172 The opportunity belongs to my little king
Atman returned home with the hundred copper coins.
Although his family also lived in Fulan Town, it was in the town's most remote slum. The houses here were much shorter than those on Fulan Town's streets, and most were made of mud and straw. Atman's family was slightly better off; his was a wooden house.
The houses in the slums were crammed together like a pile of haphazardly piled garbage. As Atman passed through the narrow space between the mud houses, he saw people squatting in front of one house to eat, and another family washing vegetables and fruits around a small, not-so-clean ditch...
Someone saw him and said, "Hey, Atman, you didn't come back all night? Did you get a big order? Someone saw you yesterday leaving with a wealthy-looking man."
The smile on Atman's face was very forced. He nodded. Although he was always eloquent, this time he couldn't say anything, which made the person asking him feel puzzled.
Before long, Atman found his own house among a pile of messy mud houses. He angrily pushed aside the clothes that his neighbor had hung at his doorstep and opened the door amid the neighbor's rude and arrogant curses.
The small house was divided into two rooms, one inside and one outside. The outside room was not only filled with daily necessities, but also had an Atman bed.
Perhaps the noise he made when opening the door was a little too loud, the door to the room inside opened, and a vigilant little face appeared behind the crack of the door. When it saw him, the little face suddenly lit up.
"elder brother!"
The person behind the door immediately opened it and rushed towards him. It was a little girl who was only as tall as his abdomen. Like him, she had red hair and black eyes, which was a characteristic of the ethnic group in this area of Fulang Town.
The little girl's name was Emily, and she was ten years old. She was very beautiful, with fair skin and a graceful profile. However, if she walked out of the house, everyone would be shocked because the right side of her face was covered with brown scars, left behind by a monster that had contaminated her during an outing.
In order to expel the pollution for her, Atman would bring a lot of coins to the Church of Life every week to ask for holy water. It was said that the holy water was the essence extracted from the Immaculate Holy Grass. As long as she took it regularly, she could completely expel the pollution brought by the monsters.
There was very little monster contamination on Emily's body, so it would not matter if she stopped buying holy water. However, Atman still insisted on saving most of the money he earned every day and then going to the Church of Life to exchange for holy water. He wanted to restore Emily's face to its original state.
After closing the door, Atman carefully pulled up all the windows before sitting down in front of Emily and telling her about the strong man he met last night and how he had smashed the Life Church, the Four Seasons Church and the Water God Church's branch churches overnight.
Although Emily was young, Atman never treated her like a child. Instead, he would tell her everything he saw and heard every day outside. He felt that surviving in this world was not easy. He might die out there one day, so he had to teach Emily everything he knew and learned. That way, even without him in the future, Emily would be able to live on with strength.
As Emily listened, her mouth opened wide. In the eyes of inferior people like them, the church was already the most powerful and upper-class existence, and the gods were so far away that they could never be reached. Even with the imagination of a child, she had never imagined that someone would blatantly challenge the church and even destroy the statues!
He actually provoked the three major churches at once!
Emily wasn't an ignorant child. She immediately became nervous. "What should we do? Will the church come after us?"
Atman shook his head. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but that he didn't know. Although the adult had explained it before leaving, who knew what the upper class would do?
It was he who brought the stranger to the three major churches, and there were at least a hundred people on the street who could testify to this!
If Bo Shuangchi had only provoked a local wealthy businessman or a minor noble, then in order to avoid being implicated, Atman would immediately take his sister away from the town of Fulan, no matter where, as long as they stayed away from him.
However, Bo Shuangchi had offended the three major churches. Is there any place in this world that the three major churches cannot reach? It would be useless for them to run anywhere.
Atman was worried and did not go out to work for several days. Instead, he stayed at home with Emily.
After waiting for many days and no one came to see them, Atman went out cautiously on the street, but heard something big.
The sea god sent his followers to the town of Fulan to smash the branch churches of the three major churches. Because of this, the Kingdom of Gundra, the Kingdom of Theodore, and the areas ruled by the water god decided to attack the sea together.
"I heard the war started the day before yesterday."
"What was the result?"
"It's been published in today's newspapers. The three righteous gods, unable to bear the thought of their followers dying in battle, negotiated with the Sea God. They issued an oracle ordering residents of coastal areas to retreat five kilometers, and forbidding the Sea God's people from coming ashore to harm the three righteous gods' followers."
"I secretly saw it that night. There was a lot of water and blue light. It turned out to be the Sea God's favored one. No wonder he was so powerful."
"Why did the Sea God send his followers to destroy the churches of the three righteous gods?"
"I heard that it was because the Sea God's people were playing along the coast, and were killed by the believers of the other three righteous gods as ordinary seafood."
Atman heard a lot of news and was filled with questions.
How could he be a favored one of the Sea God? Aren't the Sea God's people all a race that lives in the sea? That strange and powerful stranger is obviously human, how could he possibly be from the sea?
Atman's knowledge was so low-level that he couldn't understand what was going on.
All that could be heard was people singing songs praising the gods.

"Sure enough, Poseidon is the one taking the blame!"
After returning to the fantasy park, Chi Yizheng did not forget to pay attention to the news from the other world. When he saw what the four evil gods did, he showed an expected look.
Game: [Have players already guessed what they are doing?]
Chi Yizhen nodded slightly, "In fact, this matter will only lead to this inevitable result."
Although the Four Evil Gods were separated from the Fantasy Paradise by a world, they were two levels higher than Chi Yizheng. They had more or less guessed the possible meaning of the wedding.
Letting the believers disrupt the wedding would not hurt them whether they succeeded or failed. If they could disrupt the apotheosis ritual, eliminating a level of power that could rival them, they would definitely win.
However, the believers' actions failed. Chi Yizhen successfully upgraded and became a being that could stand on equal footing with them.
As a "little kid" with a bad temper, if Chi Yi really just stayed quiet and did nothing, the Four Evil Gods would definitely become suspicious of his previous behavior, so he had to give them a warning.
The world barrier blocked him and he couldn't get through. He sent believers through, but they couldn't pose a threat to the four evil gods. So he could only let the believers tear down their churches to vent their anger.
But this level of venting is not enough for the "Lord of Paradise". The Four Evil Gods are of course well aware of this. Since they are in the wrong, they naturally dare not cause trouble for Chi Yizheng, let alone bring this matter to Chi Yizheng. After all, if their believers want to preach, they still need to go through the path of Fantasy Paradise.
Compared with the cooperation between the two worlds, destroying a few churches is nothing.
However, the cooperation between the gods cannot be displayed to the general public. Without the veil of mystery, the people below will have less awe of them. This matter cannot be ignored, and it cannot be treated as if nothing happened.
Otherwise, if one's own church and statues are demolished, but the main god dares not even fart, the god's majesty will be gone, which will still cause instability in faith.
However, they couldn't hold Fantasy Park responsible, so of course they had to find someone else to take the blame. In that world, only Poseidon was qualified to take the blame.
The four evil gods pretended to be nice to each other, and the Sea God not only gained more territory, but also earned a reputation for being kind and standing up for his believers. His believers must be touched at this moment.
The other three gods handled the shameful matter of the church being demolished in a fair and honest manner. Although they lost a small part of their territory, they also earned a reputation for mercy. This common experience also gave their believers a tacit understanding of "sharing hardships" and their ties with each other became closer.
"They really don't miss any opportunity to gain benefits. They are worthy of being the evil gods who destroyed the Thorns Empire with their conspiracy and trickery!"
"I can't let them continue to unite like this. What should I do?"
Chi Yizheng knocked his head and pondered.
Before he could take action, the Spring Festival was approaching.
For a national holiday like this, Fantasyland would of course launch new attractions. He glanced at the warehouse filled with game rewards.
Every time the number of visitors exceeds 10,000, the game system will reward something. Most of them are small things, and there are not many that can be used to support a project. So far, there is only one hot spring pool used in the hot spring hall.
The reward for exceeding 50,000 traffic last time can be combined with other things to create a new project.

City of Mischief.
"Report! The principal is back!"
"Report! No strange species are approaching the director at the moment!"
The Little Thorn King leaped up from his throne, his hands on his hips, and laughed heartily, "I dress up every day, and I've finally been waiting for this!"
Last time, the entire Fantasy Park was upgraded and the director was promoted again. Of course, all the strange races in the park, including the evil spirits in the haunted house, noticed it.
Besides fear, there was also deep respect. As workers, almost all the exotic races wanted to go and formally pay their respects to the director. However, the director was too low-key and did not even publicize this matter from beginning to end. This made it impossible for the exotic races to guess the director's thoughts and they didn't know what to do.
But it is one thing for the head teacher to not take the initiative, and it is another thing for them to have no preparation at all.
Therefore, during this period, there were undercurrents in the paradise, and everyone was secretly preparing gifts.
However, after the director's promotion, he disappeared for many days, and the strange races waited for many days. Today, the director finally returned. Everyone was basically unexpected. When they heard the news, some were still at their posts, hurried and had no time to prepare.
As the Little Thorn King flapped his wings and flew through the sky of the paradise, he caught a glimpse of the anxious looks of the other exotic races and smiled crookedly, "Hey, opportunities always come to those who are prepared! The future belongs to this king!"
It flapped its wings and flew out of the City of Pranks. When it flew near the Dwarf Restaurant, it saw the director being interviewed by a TV station, so it landed on a flower and waited patiently.
Half an hour later, the TV interview ended, and the little Thorn King was about to fly over excitedly. Then a middle-aged human suddenly walked out and talked about cooperation with the director.
It doesn’t matter. This king is very patient.
However, there were so many people who wanted to meet the director! The little Thorn King waited and waited until ten o'clock in the evening. He was so sleepy that he dozed off in the flower pot. When he woke up with a start, he was surprised to find that there was no one around the director.
The little Thorn King rushed to the director.
"Ah, it's the little king!" The headmaster said to him with a smile, "It's so late, what's going on?"
The Little Thorn King floated in mid-air with dignity and spoke slowly, "Your Excellency, Director, I would like to hold a banquet in the City of Mischief to celebrate your promotion."
Oh, that’s it!
It was just a promotion, no big deal in Chi Yizhen's eyes. He still had to work on a new project. So he said, "It's okay, no need to celebrate. It's so late, go back to sleep!"
After saying that, the headmaster left.
King Little Thorn: ...
It stayed there for a long while, not even waiting for the director to turn around. Then, clutching its staff tightly, it tossed its cloak wildly, pursed its lips, and silently left.
