"Are you the original Pope? What nonsense are you talking about!" He finally realized that Su Mu was trying to usurp the throne!
Even if everyone believes in the original angels, people are selfish after all, and believers will compete with each other, competing to see whose faith is more devout and who is more noticed by the gods.
"Nonsense?" Su Mu slowly raised his palm: "Then let me show you the Original God Religion I founded!"
He clenched his hands suddenly, and the prayers of millions of believers suddenly rang out in the void. A huge projection slowly unfolded behind him like a canvas.
The magnificent and sacred Shenghui City appears to the world from a bird's-eye view. Countless buildings lined up one after another cover the ground, forming a giant eye, like a mark left by God on the earth.
In the very center of the eyes, there is a towering original church that reaches the sky.
Su Mu stood on the top of the church, looking at the shocked crowd indifferently.
In the projection at his feet, millions of original believers came out from every corner of Holy Light City, kneeling devoutly and chanting the true name of the original angel!
The endless power of faith is boiling!
"This...is this an illusion?" said the Black Dragon in shock.
"This is not an illusion!" The shock in Zero's eyes had already solidified, "This is real, but it is projected in the form of an illusion. Every believer in the picture is a real person, and the aura of faith exuded by millions of people cannot be fake.
But...what exactly is this place? How could there be such a miraculous city in the world?"
There was another sentence he didn't say in his heart: Why didn't I, as the original Pope, know that there was such a place in the world?
"Arrogant! Who are you? Heretics are so powerful nowadays, slaughtering God's people all over the world. How could there be such a place in this world?" Zero said in disbelief.
"I came from hell and came here... to look for miracles." Su Mu looked at everyone indifferently and slowly explained his origins.
"Hell? What place is that?" Ling was stunned. He had no idea where hell was.
"Above the earth's surface is heaven, and below the earth's surface is hell."
“Under the surface? Are you talking about the Nightmare Jedi sealed by the gods?!” Zero was instantly shocked. He didn’t expect that there were still people in the Nightmare Jedi, and there was even the Primordial God Cult... Do the people there call it hell?
"Yes, I come from beneath the surface of the earth, where the gods have disappeared. Do you know how desperate life is in hell? The people there cannot be illuminated by the light of the original angels. It's me!"
Su Mu's tone suddenly became excited, his eyes became sharp, and he scanned the 100,000 believers present like a god.
"I measured every piece of land in Hell with my feet, spread the glory of the original angels throughout Hell, and did not abandon any of God's people. I spent a hundred years to gather them together, set up an altar! Cast a statue of God! Build a kingdom of God! Established the largest sect in Hell - the Original God Religion!
This miracle city is the best testimony to the efforts of me and millions of believers! I named it... Holy Glory City, hoping that this city can always be illuminated by the holy light of the original angel!
I do this not to prove how great I am, but to let the whole world know that the whole world is the land of God, and all the people in the world are the people of God!"
The passionate and persuasive words were deafening. At this moment, Su Mu was like the agent of the original angel on earth, like the eternal scorching sun, making it impossible for everyone to ignore him.
Su Mu's speech continued: "Do you know what God's people in hell desire most? What they desire most is to go to heaven, which is above the surface where you are. They desire to be truly illuminated by the light of the original angels. This is their lifelong dream!
It is also my dream, so here I am!
But when I really arrived in heaven, everything I saw and heard was shocking. The original Christians here were being chased like rats crossing the street, and the believers who should have been sitting in the church and praying devoutly... were actually slaughtered like livestock!
This is simply unimaginable in our hell. In hell, if there is anyone who dares to slander the original angel, my Original God Church will come out in full force and punish him no matter how far away he is!
You guys... disappoint me so much."
Su Mu sighed deeply, with a look of loneliness on his face, just like a devout pilgrim who had finally reached heaven after going through untold hardships and difficulties, only to find that heaven was even worse than hell. He felt a faint sense of collapse of faith.
His words made the 100,000 believers fall into silence. Some looked thoughtful, some clenched their fists, and some had red eyes. They thought of what they had experienced over the years. It was indeed as Su Mu said, they were like rats crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating them every day. They had witnessed other believers lying in a pool of blood countless times but they were powerless to do anything.
However, they never imagined that in hell, where conditions are more difficult and farther away from God, the believers there actually do better than themselves and some even regard heaven as their lifelong pursuit. When these believers thought of this, they felt ashamed.
Seeing that 100,000 followers began to reflect, Su Mu laughed in his heart. As a master of illusion, bewitching people was his forte. People all thought that the fanatics were determined, but they didn't know that they were also the easiest group of people to brainwash.
When facing fanatics, you cannot deny their beliefs, but rather follow their beliefs and then lead them astray.
Zero's face also looked a little unhappy. As both of them were the original Pope, such a comparison did make him feel a little embarrassed.
Even now, he did not doubt Su Mu's identity. In his cognition, Su Mu possessed such a strong original divinity and was 100% one of his own. Moreover, the projection presented by the other party was indeed mixed with the breath of faith of millions of people, which could not be false.
"Arrogant, actually..." Ling was interrupted by Su Mu as soon as he opened his mouth.
Su Mu looked at him fiercely and scolded, "Shut up! As the saying goes, an incompetent general can lead to the death of the entire army. You have an unshirkable responsibility for the Original God Church in Heaven falling to this point!"
"I......"
"What have you done all these years? In the place closest to God, the Primordial God Church you lead has only a mere 100,000 people?"
Ling's face turned pale and blue, "That's because there are too many heretics here..."
"Losers always look for excuses from the outside, rather than looking for reasons from themselves! So what if there are many heresies? Will the original religion not develop? Will the light of God not shine? The more difficult it is, the more we must face it. If there are conditions, we must go ahead. If there are no conditions, we must create conditions and go ahead! Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
Your behavior makes me doubt your faith."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ling's face changed drastically. It was absolutely intolerable for a fanatic to have his faith questioned.
"Don't talk nonsense! I am completely loyal to the faith of the original angels. How can you question it?"
"Hmm..." Su Mu nodded thoughtfully: "Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. After all, those who can enter here are the most devout believers of the original angels."
Ling was about to speak, but he was stunned. Why did this sound so familiar? Wasn't this what he said to Pride as soon as he came in? Why was it the other way around now?
"But what's the use of having a devout faith?"
