"Prince Dongfang, what do you mean?"
"We also firmly support the religion of God."
The Grand Priest of Light said to Emperor Dezheng, "Lord of Nanyue, envoys from all nations support the Divine Religion. Are you prepared to become an enemy of the Divine Religion?"
Emperor Dezheng responded in surprise, "What are you saying, High Priest of Light? I, too, firmly support the Divine Religion! How could I be an enemy of the Divine Religion?"
"By allowing Northern Wei to participate in the Chamber of Commerce, you are making yourself an enemy of the Divine Religion! As long as you betray Northern Wei, the Divine Religion will protect you!"
"The High Priest of Light does what he says?"
"Of course! The Divine Religion always sticks to its word."
"If the Divine Cult can compel Xiliang and Western Jin to repay all losses caused by their sneak attack on Nanyue territory, and make all nations sign a letter of commitment with me never to invade Nanyue, I will immediately expel the Northern Wei envoys from the palace!"
Emperor Dezheng's words were powerful and made the leaders of all countries change their attitude.
The High Priest of Light's gaze kept changing, almost staring a hole in Emperor De Zheng's body.
"Are you really going to go against the Divine Religion like this?"
This sentence was already full of threats. Emperor Dezheng sighed and said, "Great Priest Guangming, you are forcing me! I have already invited Prince Gan of the Northern Wei Dynasty here, and now you want me to drive Prince Gan and the Northern Wei envoys out. Isn't this a slap in the face of me and Prince Gan?
I don't know why the Divine Religion can act on behalf of God and benefit the people, but I am still the monarch of a country. The emperors of the various countries in our Kyushu Continent have transferred the responsibility of benefiting the people to the Divine Religion, and that is their faith in the Divine Religion. You are a god, and we are human. Is it really okay for you to use the majesty of a god to oppress us ordinary people like this?
"you……"
The High Priest of Light was so angry that he was speechless, but Emperor De Zheng might not be good at anything, but he was an expert in using power tactics and scheming to perfection.
Before the High Priest could speak, Emperor De Zheng continued, "Of course, if the High Priest insists on using the majesty of God to threaten me and the suffering of the people to coerce me, I will have no choice but to obey the orders of the Divine Religion."
"you……"
This damned Emperor Dezheng actually used the safety of the people to silence him. If he really forced him today, I guarantee that tomorrow, the whole capital would be filled with rumors that the Divine Cult was exploiting the people. The High Priest of Light was once again furious and speechless.
"I? I'm really in a dilemma!" After saying this, he ignored the high priest whose face had turned pale with anger and turned to look at Baili Han, saying rather awkwardly:
"Prince Gan, the High Priest is threatening the people of Nanyue. I really don't dare to joke with the welfare of the people."
Baili Han sneered upon hearing this. "What do you mean by 'benefiting the people'? I've long thought they're just bullshit.' Under the guise of being gods, they engage in shameful and filthy deeds. If they can't satisfy them, they'll immediately punish thousands of people. I'll burn incense another day and ask the Bodhisattva which damn deity has produced such a shameless villain."
“…” The High Priest of Light was so angry at Baili Han’s words that his chest shook violently and he couldn’t utter a word.
"Forget it. Since he has already targeted the people of Nanyue, I will not force him. If you don't want to participate, then don't participate. However, as your guest of honor, the Emperor of Nanyue, you must expel me and my people from the court now.
