"Thank you Lord for giving us food."
"Thank you Lord for giving us water to drink."
A bamboo basket was placed on the spread tablecloth, as well as simple slices of white bread and jam. Several mid- to low-sequence Beyonders with silver crosses hanging on their chests found a clean and uncontaminated piece of bread in the nearby city.
Place to have lunch like a picnic.
Apart from the dim sky, the surrounding land is filled with pollution and distortion, the constant chatter in the ears and suspicious dark traces can be seen everywhere, including the complicated and tired expressions of the diners, this can indeed be regarded as a picnic.
Because there is not a single living person in the nearest town, it has been abandoned for nearly half a month, and there is not even a clean dining table to be found.
In the distance is a black world, black earth, dark sky, blood-red water coming from the sea, and countless demon descendants lurking in the dark, mutated from wild animals and marine creatures.
In order to prevent more water sources from being polluted, the red river has been blocked and gathered into a terrifying blood lake at the end. As long as you get close, you will have the urge to jump. It has swallowed up many lives, but the church is currently helpless against it.
.
"How is the status of Sealed Artifact 1-087?" The person who looked like the captain asked while eating.
The member of the team responsible for keeping the sealed artifact immediately opened his arms, his face filled with joy: "Praise the Lord! Praise the sun!"
After saying that, the team member glanced at his companions with an incredibly fanatical look. The others put down the food in their hands and followed the requirements of the sealed object by praising the sun and the Lord several times. One of the team members said:
"It looks like the sealed object is in good condition."
"...Let someone else take it." The captain rubbed his brows in pain, "It just so happens that you have drawn this kind of sealed object that needs to be responded to every hour of use. It will also continue to affect the mental state of the Beyonders and the purification of our team.
The progress has fallen a lot.”
The other team members nodded with deep understanding. In the past few days of participating in the task of purifying the land, with the help of this sealed object, everyone's piety has increased or decreased to varying degrees. They exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter.
, they all started to press down on the person who was taking a bite of bread and asked the Lord
The team member who was praying once snatched something like a small desk lamp amidst the howling of the other party. After the desk lamp was snatched away, the team member who was praying fervently suddenly calmed down. He sat upright, straightened his clothes, and looked at himself
He marked the cross on his body and complained to the captain:
"I've been holding it for five hours, captain, give me overtime, the pants I wore yesterday were praising the sun!"
"I also took it for seven hours. You are the Sequence 6 'notary'. Before I recover, you are the most suitable person to hold 1-087."
"But captain, if we participate in this task, we can apply for allowances and subsidies!" The notary refused.
"Then we have to wait until we complete today's purification task before we can write the application."
The notary had no choice but to continue eating angrily. Halfway through the meal, the "Priest of Light" next to him chatted: "Let's purify these lands. I heard that the next step of the church is to arrange extraordinary people who are good at farming to develop the land. Recently, the food supply in the city has increased."
The price is great.”
"Recently, there has been propaganda in the church to encourage the families of priests to become low-sequence extraordinary people and contribute to the church. The most popular people in the church now are 'cultivators'. If they become 'cultivators' and actively participate in agricultural activities, the family can still
Received a subsidy of around 2 Filkin.”
The Priest of Light said while putting pork sausages into slices of bread, "Before I came here, I heard from the Aurora Order angel in the church that they were considering whether to hire someone to guide the work. His name was Frank. He was not
Wild 'cultivators' belonging to the Church of the Mother Earth."
"Frank? Never heard of it. There are only a few famous scholar-bishops in the Mother Earth Church."
The notary asked curiously: "Who is this? Is he very powerful?"
"It should be very powerful, right?" The Priest of Light was not sure and scratched his head, "It's just that the deacon of Montemar looked a little unhappy when he heard the name..."
The deacon of Montemar in his mouth is none other than the most popular deacon of the Cathedral of Light in Intis, Ms. Irena Albert Montemar. It is said that this lady was inspired by the Lord when she was ten years old.
, had a premonition of the Lord's future glory and great achievements, and became a divine envoy of the Aurora Society. Her faith is as clear as the sun, her eyes are as bright as the sun, and she has a pure and kind heart like an angel, willing to give to those who are far away and barbaric.
People from the southern mainland provided some help to build factories and provide employment.
The Church of the Creator's attitude towards the nobles is currently somewhat ambiguous, but through Ms. Montemar's treatment and rhetoric, most of the nobles are temporarily relieved and believe that the Church of the Creator still needs them.
They increased their donations to the Church of the Creator and put a lot of gold and property into the donation box in order to save their own lives. This allowed the church's subsidies for low-income people and the construction of many church schools to proceed smoothly.
It is worth mentioning that the Church of Steam, which has acquired new technologies, is proactively shining in the construction industry. It only requires a team of extraordinary people led by demigods to complete a building with furniture and gas pipes in one day.
The complete three-story building is built like building blocks.
After finishing lunch, a group of people packed up their tablecloths and bamboo baskets and stood up. They approached the outskirts of the town - the erosion was too strong, and after several days, they still had not completely purified the town. One of them
The Priest of Light held up the lamp-like object.
"The Lord said, let there be light, and use the light to drive out the devil from the earth!"
Along with his shouts, bursts of bright light emitted from the lamp in his hand. At its peak, the light was like a small sun. Black smoke emitted from the surrounding land, and the murmurs and malice that made people almost crazy were suppressed.
The light was blocked, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After a round of purification, the black on the ground became slightly lighter.
But ahead of them, there are entire plains, and even distant coasts and oceans that need to be purified, and the purification work is almost an annual cycle.
At the same time, a smile appeared on the face of the Priest of Light, and he raised his arms and pointed to the sky: "Praise the Lord!"
"You do the purification ten more times, and then leave it to me." The captain of Sequence 5 said, "Continue..."
Suddenly, the lamp in the hand of the Priest of Light was extinguished, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, the gloomy clouds suddenly dispersed, and there were no clouds in the sky. The golden sunlight that seemed to be substantial fell from the sky, and a warm and holy atmosphere enveloped the entire place.
Mountains and fields.
At the moment when the breath fell, the extraordinary people in the Sun Path invariably trembled slightly with excitement. They were bathed in the light, feeling the vitality of their own spirituality and the mighty power of the great existence, acquiring knowledge, and forgetting for a moment.
kneel.
The light fell on the polluted mountains, forests and wilderness. The black soil and red water gradually faded away from their filthy appearance. Countless dependent creatures hidden in the shadows howled miserably and turned into blue smoke and dissipated in the sunlight.
Next. The earth gradually turns back to its normal brown color, and even gradually glows with life under the light. The water slowly becomes clear, but there are no living creatures in it. There is only clear water and sand and gravel at the bottom of the river.
It's as if God's gaze is shining down, and the world in front of you is completely new.
God's gaze continued forward. On the polluted beach and coastline, countless ferocious and twisted low-level demonic creatures were wandering like sandcastles in the waves, disintegrating without a word. There were countless creatures in the blood-red sea water.
The monsters were following the waves ashore, but as soon as the pure light swept away, they were all broken down into the most basic spirituality. Even the rushing water gradually lost its blood color and slapped on the beach.
The purification task that was originally expected to take at least five years as a cycle was completed within a few breaths.
Countless extraordinary people who were carrying sealed objects or led by the demigod priest personally saw the miracle coming. They felt the breath of the gods intoxicatedly, witnessed the power of the gods to change the world, and then devoutly
Kneel down and praise the name of the Creator.
The haze dissipated, the sun shone brightly, and the earth was filled with golden light. In the fields, rivers and mountain peaks, the first passing bird broke the silence.

"I arranged everything before I left."
While Edward was following the true Creator for a walk in his kingdom of God, he was looking through the files that he had handed over from the desk in the office before leaving, and commented with great interest:
"Are you going to engage in solar energy? The prerequisite for solar energy is to get some electric energy first. For electric energy, you need to cooperate with the Church of Steam, but how do you teach them to use it? Send instructions to the subconscious ocean group? It seems that the demand for food is the highest now, no
As for the supporting facilities, the only use of your solar energy is probably to provide hot water for the people of Intis."
"This is the first time that the Steam Church has come into contact with the concept of electricity. It is still a bit constrained. It is estimated that there is no hope of researching anything."
"It's normal. After all, they have been preaching in Loen for so long."
Edward flipped back and found the report about the nobility, as well as the information about the nobility handed over by a divine messenger named Ms. D. His expression became lively again: "Your attitude towards the nobility is very interesting. Please take the lead in converting it."
family favor and rewards, and then put pressure on others, do you want them to try their best to please you and your church, and slowly strip them of their money and status?"
"It's not good for me to rush to take over their property."
The True Creator said calmly: "If I give strong medicine to these people who control most of the country's wealth, it is very likely that I will secretly betray the country during my time away from Intis. For the sake of the country's stability and stable income,
It’s better to be gentle now.”
"Montemaire, Lefère, Berner... they are all the surnames of acquaintances."
Edward finished flipping through the file and placed it in a corner of the Kingdom of the Real Creator: "These big noble families don't seem to have changed much, but in the end, only the Sauron family has completely fallen? How pitiful."
He looked at the back of the True Creator's head and asked casually: "By the way, you already know about the Highland Kingdom, right?"
The true Creator did not speak immediately, but responded with silence:
"The Highland Resistance Army sent back all the sealed artifacts of the local Sun Path and the characteristics of the church members stationed there."
"I was thinking that if the Highlands became independent, the domestic economy of Intis would be severely hit again, so I tried my best to arrange all the affairs before leaving."
Probably because the front was full of uncertainties and dangers, the True Creator said a few more words. He looked at the purified earth under his feet, and did not respond to those fervently praying believers, but went straight across the Northern Continent through the Kingdom of God.
and the ocean, heading to the sea.
"...Although there are still very few 'cultivators', as long as they are properly used, Intis can survive the famine caused by the economic crisis. The rest will depend on the church to regulate the market and actively help the people."
"This is a good opportunity for the God of Steam and Machinery." Edward looked back, although he couldn't see Intis.
"That's right." The True Creator looked into the distance, "I hope He can seize this opportunity."
Edward smiled: "Maybe what happens next is what you expected."
"Do you see anything possible?"
