Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 518: Aftermath and Prelude


Ji Jue's dreams remain a mystery for now.

Yet suddenly, overnight, everyone in Huangliang felt as if a nightmare was chasing them.

There was no way around it; it was terrifying.

Without any warning, the Central City of such a large district faced divine punishment inexplicably!

Even just a month ago, their Archbishop was still boasting about how prosperous everything was, but before anything could thrive, and activities could unfold, all the top officials were wiped out, a third of the city's population disappeared, and were all driven to the margins!

All were sentenced to eternal burning, with no chance of release.

The remaining two-thirds weren't spared; they were all demoted as sinners, condemned to repay for blasphemy and impurity as slave laborers for a century.

The first reaction of everyone who heard this was to report to the church that this scoundrel was spouting nonsense, fearmongering, how could such outrageous events occur, but upon careful verification, confronted with the solid facts, they began to sweat...

What the hell? What happened? Why did Sky City suddenly start spinning its big guns?

Meanwhile, a severe reprimand bearing the Pope's Seal of Sky City had already been delivered to every Holy Hall and Main Priest in the three western, southern, and northern districts.

The letter angrily criticized the recent years' laziness among the order and the widespread disrespect towards divine affairs and neglect of holy insights, leading to frequent acts of blasphemy and the spread of corruption, resulting in the current catastrophic situation. From today onward, all Holy Halls must conduct self-inspections and corrections, report regularly, and any negligence or violation will face severe punishment!

The minimum sentence would be fifty years of hard labor.

As for the ins and outs of the Eastern District, an explanation was provided in the announcement—Saint Yidra, during an investigation, discovered that the upper echelon of the entire Eastern District had completely fallen, not only neglecting sacred affairs and desecrating the holy, but also brazenly carrying out extensive blasphemous activities in the Holy Hall, even intending to divert faith, equating themselves with deities, and splitting the order.

Such acts of degeneration made the merciful Holy God shed tears.

Thereupon, the Saint acted with Thunderbolt, eliminating all tumors and hazards to preserve the purity of the order. For such merit and honors, they received commendation from the Holy God and were promoted as attendants, transcending the mortal realm, ascending to Heaven for eternal life. From this day forward, their Holy Statue must be erected beside the insignia of the Holy God in every Holy Hall.

The rebuilt Eastern District will be named after them, to showcase grace and merit to this land that had once descended into corruption.

Subsequently, a new Saint was chosen to be crowned within Sky City...

In short, there was a minor issue, but don't worry, everyone shouldn't be afraid, it's just a temporary adjustment.

Our Divine Country is thriving!

Anyway, though it sounds credible, with no second media outlet existing in this world, Ji Jue certainly wouldn't stand up to refute it saying it's nonsense.

Under absolute authority and credibility, the chaos quickly stabilized.

Even the blasphemous acts and absolute punishment faced by the Eastern District sparked motivation and faith in other districts, exerting all their efforts, thereby unexpectedly filling the anticipated gaps in faith with the fervor of numerous fanatics!

The spectacular ascetic displays and demonstrations were truly eye-opening.

Under this severe rectification wave, many Main Priests at the bottom were swiftly dismissed and replaced by devout believers, who in turn became even more resolute.

Furthermore, the defensive forces of all districts and significant institutions received unprecedented reinforcement, with numerous Angel Legion troops descending from Sky City to the human world. These manifestations of miracles further fueled the zeal and faith of believers, simultaneously preventing Ji Jue and others from taking advantage of the chaos.

Successive resistance camps were eradicated, and one heretic after another was bound to the stake in public trials... As the entire order, this belief machine went full throttle, the world's stability elevated another notch, even Ji Jue could no longer show himself.

No way, currently Sky City has activated something unknown and is monitoring the entire Huangliang dream 24 hours a day, once the alert goes off, the self-aiming begins.

If Ji Jue ever emerges from the crevices, he would face massive encirclement and relentless Self-Destruction attacks.

The first time, Ji Jue thought something unforeseen had occurred, but by the second, he sensed something was wrong; by the third, he realized he was utterly targeted by the order, with at least three Saints waiting on standby daily to prevent him.

Luckily, the Rabbit Hole exists; otherwise, the losses would be unimaginable.

Yet after several consecutive attempts, when Ji Jue went to Bao Dacai again for supplies, he encountered Old Deng's opposition—everything inevitably leaves traces, and the Rabbit Hole isn't omnipotent.

"Have you noticed that each time they assemble massive forces and besiege us, there aren't many actions taken?"

Ji Jue realized: "Are you saying they're intentionally luring our people into using the Rabbit Hole?"

"Exactly."

Bao Dacai sighed, patting the cloth bag already showing cracks: "The essence of the Rabbit Hole is also a kind of spirit, guiding people to freely traverse dreams, imitating that Supreme Heavenly Art of the Gate of Eternity. Although its effect is enhanced in this Huangliang, it's not without ways to counter it.
