“On no! The priests of the desert palace were stirring up people in the city, inciting them to kill you!” As Cetisius had run to the palace from a distance, he was out of breath when he arrived to warn Lu Zhiyu.

Lu Zhiyu put down his quill pen and saw Cetisius kneeling at the door. After saluting him, Cetisius looked up at Lu Zhiyu and said in a hurry, “Anke sent me to you to let you know that he has arranged a way for you to escape. Follow me now please. Now that everyone believes Hatton, there is no time to waste! However, you can rest assured that Anke and I have absolute trust in you still.”

Lu Zhiyu did not seem worried. “Don’t worry!”

Lu Zhiyu didn’t care too much about this new piece of news, neither did Eva. So, Cetisius could only kneel outside the door.

In contrast, all of the other people inside the castle were in a panic. After getting the news, they all ran out of the castle immediately.

The maids accidentally smashed the pots that they had been holding, as they were in such a hurry to run away. The slaves hid in the cellar in the backyard. After all of the chaos, there were only three people left, Lu Zhiyu, Eva and Cetisius.

Soon, a large number of angry Pusuote people poured into the castle. Many of the people outside surrounded it. It was almost as if they were afraid that the evil guy inside might escape by some dark magic!

Thousands of agitated people filled the broad streets outside, all of them shouting, “Kill him!”

Under the command of several priests, people kicked down the wooden castle gate and broke into the castle. Those hiding in the dark trembled as they were listening to the roars.

The people who broke in came straight to the center of the castle, which was exactly where Lu Zhiyu was! Cetisius was very nervous at the moment.

He was guarding the door that led to Lu Zhiyu’s room, holding a spear that had been hanging on the wall. He was trembling with fear.

As Lu Zhiyu heard some rushed footsteps, several big men ran up the stairs towards him, each of them holding either a dagger or an ax! As Cetisius recalled the moment that Lu Zhiyu gave him the chance to hear and speak, he became fearless and screamed, “You can’t hurt him!”

As these agitated mobs would never be afraid of such a small fellow as him, they thought he was a mere twerp of a fellow who had turned to evil gods. So, they raised their axes at him immediately.

As the young slave rushed towards the group of men, a big man kicked him to the ground and pointed his sword at him.

That’s it. I’m dead!

Cetisius had only one thought in his mind at the moment. It was too late for him to escape! He could only watch the shimmering dagger coming at his neck.

“Stop!” Suddenly, a voice, accompanied by a force that seemed to be coming from out of nowhere made all of the people stop. Even the grim looks on their faces were fixed and unmoving.

Eva, wearing a black robe, went out and saw a large number of people frozen. No one could move.

People who were just coming in from the outside were shocked. All of those people who had rushed into the castle in front of them now stood still like stone statues!

“Don’t go in! It’s the power of the devil!” an onlooker shouted in terror.

The crowds who were moving towards the interior of the castle trembled with fear at this strange sight, then quickly retreated back. Several mobs who were near the gate of the castle crawled away in horror.

A beautiful woman, who was much more graceful than any human being, suddenly emerged from the castle. The mobs, after seeing the strange scenes inside the castle, dared not to make any moves. Several priests outside wanted to flee, but they found that they could not move one step at all!

Eva held out her hand, then clenched it tight. As she did so, one of the priest’s bodies shrunk in the middle. The squeaky sound of his shrinking, mixed with his cries, made all of the others’ teeth tremble and their legs weaken.

Eva then looked at another priest. Like she was pinching the ends off of string beans, she pinched that guy to death too! Then, many others collapsed and screamed wildly.

“Don’t kill me! I’ll tell you everything! It was Hatton who made us do it. He made us kill people in the city, pull people’s hearts out, then blame it on you!” The words of this priest confused everyone present, and all those who were agitated finally felt like fools.

“How could it be Hatton?”

“You killed people!”

“Liars! You are all a bunch of liars!”

Everyone felt that their beliefs and trusts had been violated. Realizing that they had been deceived, many people fell on their knees in despair.

After the third priest confessed, the other two surrendered. But, Eva still did not stop, but pinched all three of them to death! At this moment, everyone lost their trust in the desert palace and Hatton.

“Why did they deceive us?”

“Why did the high priest do this? Why did he kill my brother!”

“My child!”

Having hurried to the scene, Anke cried out from among the crowd, “Because the real spokesman of god is inside, Hatton is just a liar who is falsely speaking in the name of god!”

Anke pointed inside the castle, then said, “Look, that’s the power of god! Can Hatton build a huge castle overnight in the Sea of Death? Can Hatton cause Cetisius to hear and speak? Can he save me and my merchants from the sandstorm? No! Only the messenger of god can do such things!”

As Anke’s words were very convincing, everyone once again looked inside the castle, as if they had found meaning to their lives again. Then, they immediately cursed Hatton…

“That Hatton is the real blasphemer, as he deceives us in the name of god! His sins are unforgivable!”

“Yes, god’s messenger is inside the castle. We need to welcome the real spokesman of god.”

“Punish Hatton!”

“We need to listen to the commandments of the true god!”

As Lu Zhiyu hadn’t shown up yet, the people looked to Eva. They immediately knelt down and worshiped her devoutly, as if they had completely believed Anke’s words that Eva and Lu Zhiyu were the spokesmen of god.

Lu Zhiyu watched the farce outside quietly. He had achieved his purpose. When Anke invited him to stay here, Lu Zhiyu had a simple plan, which was to apply to the east of the Alen Continent an extraordinary power and divine system.

This was a desert of extraordinary power! Neither divine incantation nor witchcraft had been spread to this area. Wizards and priests seemed to have no regard for this barren and uncivilized region. Instead, they chose the prosperous central province as the core area for their own development.

With more and more ferocious magical beasts emerging here, people found no way to resist them. Even many religions worshiped magical beasts as gods now.

Moreover, the eastern population was no less than that of the West. Once the divine system spread here, the developmental speed of Lu Zhiyu’s Divine Kingdom would be further accelerated, which was part of the reason why Lu Zhiyu had come to Batko.

Lu Zhiyu hadn’t even had to make an effort, and the whole situation had turned out so favorable! Lu Zhiyu then joined Eva, and the both of them, dressed in a white robe and a black robe respectively, then went into the desert palace.

Amid all of the confusion, the clueless high priest Hatton had not yet figured out why he was suddenly surrounded by the same people that he had just incited to kill Lu Zhiyu. Hatton wanted to escape, but he was caught by the angry people and sentenced to the cruelest criminal punishment in Pusuote! He was cast alive, made into a kneeling bronze statue and placed in front of the palace!

Then, Lu Zhiyu, who had been previously denounced as the villain of evil gods, was greeted respectfully by the nobles, the tribal leaders, and the remaining priests of the desert palace in the city. Lu Zhiyu then became the spokesman of god on earth.

He soon had hundreds of thousands of followers. Then, Anke was chosen by Lu Zhiyu to be the new high priest of the palace.

In year 62 of the Holy Calendar, the desert palace was renamed the heavenly palace, and Randil, who was called the god of gods, ruled over all of the gods. A polytheistic sect now dominated Batko, and its unique belief system was vastly different from the Church of Light on the west coast of the Sea of Death and the orcs’ Church of Light in the northern part of the Alen Continent.
