www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!
"The Church of Life is hypocritical, evil and cruel. Since its emergence, it has invaded the land of the orcs, plundered the wealth of human countries, and beguiled the ignorant people with heresies, split the empire's territory, and undermined the authority of our Lord..."
"Since Eternal Era 1072, John the Blasphemer has ignored the provisions of the True God Agreement and privately spread the faith of the Church of Life throughout Holy Mania, inciting the people and provoking confrontation..."
"Since John the Blasphemer preached, there have been a total of 47 riots of life mobs inside and outside the empire, 34 of which were related to John the Blasphemer. The riots resulted in the deaths of at least 132 nobles and 27 clergy, including three earls. , a marquis and two bishops, affecting 31 cities...the crime is so heinous that it cannot be forgiven!"
“According to Article 53 of Chapter 7 of the Gospel Precepts of the Eternal Canon, what John the Blasphemer did has seriously violated the rights of the Eternal Church, violated dogma and imperial laws, and constituted the crime of blasphemy, sedition, and heresy. ...etc., a total of eighteen major crimes!"
"The glory of my Lord cannot be violated, and the majesty of my Lord cannot be desecrated!"
"The blasphemer John is insidious, evil, twisted and selfish, and deceives the ignorant people for his personal ambition and selfish gain. His actions are unforgivable. According to the judgment decision of the Eternal Church Tribunal, the blasphemer John will be punished by burning at the stake!"
"John...do you know your sin?!"
The solemn and solemn voice of the Bishop of the Trial Hall spread throughout the square.
At the end of the sentence, he almost yelled at Old John in a roaring voice, his eyes widened and his features ferocious and angry.
Those words seemed to have some kind of magic power and had the power to shock people's hearts.
After hearing his words, the onlookers couldn't help but feel shocked. They felt a sense of regret and guilt from their hearts. They couldn't help but think of all the wrong things they had done in the past, and they were frightened and uneasy. ……
This is the priest's magical skill [Psychic Shock].
For a time, many eternal believers who feared the church or people with weak spiritual endurance could not help lowering their heads, either repenting and praying, or sobbing softly.
There were also some emotionally unstable people who glared at God's Favorite John with hateful looks, as if they wanted to eat his flesh...
The somewhat oppressive and quiet atmosphere formed when the Bishop of the Trial House angrily rebuked John was quickly broken, and the curses sounded again. It seemed that no curses or curses in the world could express the people's hatred for the blasphemers...
If the distance wasn't too far, I'm afraid many more stones would have fallen on Old John.
However, unlike the angry people after hearing the words of judgment, Old John's expression remained calm, and the [mental shock] of the bishop of the trial did not seem to have an effect on him.
I saw him raising his head slightly, his waist straight and his voice firm:
"No, I...is not guilty."
"Bold! Blasphemer John, what you have done has long been recorded by our trial. There is the True God Agreement and the "Eternal Scripture" as evidence. Do you still want to quibble?"
The Bishop of the Trial House yelled angrily.
Old John sneered and glanced disdainfully at the ferocious and angry bishop of the Tribunal, and then slowly turned his eyes to the calm-looking Pope Benedict II.
He took a deep breath and said calmly:
"Nothing I have done has violated the true God's agreement... Everything I have done is just and correct."
"Quia! Lies!"
The Bishop of the Trial Hall roared.
Old John sneered again and glanced at him:
"Mr. Bishop, you said that the Life Church is hypocritical, evil and cruel, but what I saw was a different scene."
As he spoke, he looked solemn:
"Since the emergence of the Church of Life, we have resisted the invasion of the abyssal demons, expelled the invading demons, and purified the pollution left by the abyss in the world of Segas..."
“Helping the poor out of trouble, rebuilding their homes, adopting orphans, providing relief to the weak, treating the sick and injured for the poor who cannot be cured without regard to reward, imparting knowledge and skills to the people, helping people overcome setbacks and survive... ”
"We have witnessed with our own eyes that civilians have broken free from despair and regained hope for the future. We have personally led everyone out of their difficulties and welcomed the future..."
"How come such a loving church has become evil and pretentious in your mouth?"
"As for what you said about invading the land of the orcs and plundering the wealth of human countries..."
"The former is due to the orcs persecuting the elves and invading the elves' forest first, so my lord and the elf believers were forced to fight back."
"The latter is because the Eternal Church has no sense of responsibility and abandons its people again and again when evil gods resurrect and demons invade. It is our Lord who guides believers and warriors to intervene in time and brings peace and salvation. ..."
“This can be proved by the songs of the troubadours, the caravans coming and going, and the believers who spontaneously immigrate to the area where the Church of Life is located one after another and convert to our Lord can also prove it.”
"It took us less than a year to bring the war-torn Maple Moon Territory back to life, peace and prosperity; it took us just a few months to bring home one after another who had nothing. The poor have escaped poverty..."
"How can this be considered plundering wealth?"
"Our Lord is just bringing new hope to the poor people after the Eternal Church abandoned its people."
"There is a saying in the "Sacred Book of Life" that the people's eyes are sharp. All of this is not our choice or our compulsion, but the people's own choice to embrace our Lord and become our Lord. Just followers of the Lord."
"So...how can it be called confusing the people?"
Old John’s words were resounding and seemed to carry some power that could not be described in words, resounding in the square and in everyone’s heart.
That majestic and calm voice, like a melodious bell, vibrated in the hearts of the people.
Many people gradually calmed down and couldn't help but think of all the rumors about the Life Church that they had heard from various gossips in recent years.
For a time, the curses gradually subsided, and many people slowly woke up from their anger. They watched the trial on the stage and started talking.
The expression of the Bishop of the Trial Hall changed slightly.
His eyes were dark and he scolded sternly:
"Quia! Lies!"
"The glory of our Lord cannot be blasphemed, and the glory of our Lord cannot be tarnished!"
"After the war between gods and demons began, my Lord led the gods to fight against the abyss and invaded hell. He stopped fighting for the safety of the world of Segas all the time. However, the Church of Life took advantage of my Lord's fighting on the front. Expanding faith is a shameless betrayal of justice!"
"Such a hypocritical church has no qualifications to preach on the mainland! Let alone deceive believers in the land of our Lord without permission!"
Old John sneered:
"Betraying justice? Beguiling believers? This is even more ridiculous."
As he spoke, his expression turned cold:
"As far as I know, after the war between gods and demons, the abyssal forces invaded the world of Segas in a large scale. The Eternal Church was unwilling to return aid and wanted to use the power of the abyssal demons to consume my lord's strength..."
"It's just that my lord is strong and just, and turned the tide at the most critical moment, defeating the invasion of the abyss!"
"How can this be considered a betrayal of justice?"
"If we really want to talk about betrayal, it is the Eternal Lord who is unwilling to return aid! If we really want to talk about betrayal, it is the Eternal Church who wants to use the power of the abyss to weaken the Church of Life!"
"Bold! Is my Lord's name something you, a blasphemer like you, can even mention?!"
The Bishop of the Trial Hall scolded.
Old John is even more disdainful:
"So what if you mention it? Since you mentioned betrayal, let's talk about it..."
"Everyone in the world knows that my lord is Eve, the goddess of life, so how many people know that my lord's full name is Eve Yggdrasil?"
"My Lord's identity is not only the goddess of life, but also the great World Tree!"
"He is the incarnation of life, the mother of nature. He is the master of the Silver Age and was once hailed by the gods as the mother of all gods!"
As he spoke, he glanced mockingly at the clergy of the Eternal Church:
"Why did the World Tree wither a thousand years ago, why did the Holy Mania Empire rise? This history that was buried by the Eternal Church...do you need me to elaborate on it?"
After hearing Old John's words, the expressions of some senior clergy of the Eternal Church changed slightly, while the people in the audience instantly cast curious glances.
It is the nature of every mortal to watch the excitement without taking it too seriously.
The true identity of the goddess of life named by Old John also surprised many people.
This is something to mention.
Although it is no longer a secret that the goddess of life is the World Tree as Eve reveals her identity, for ordinary people, the information about these extraordinary worlds is still out of reach.
For the vast majority of civilians at the scene, this was the first time they knew about it.
However, the creatures in the world of Segas are no strangers to the World Tree.
The silver civilization of the elves has left such a profound impact on various races in the world of Segas that it has not disappeared even after thousands of years. Among them, the most common one is the story about the World Tree.
In various myths and legends, the majestic World Tree always appears as benevolence, justice, and kindness.
For this reason, when they learned that the identity of the goddess of life was the World Tree, the mood of the onlookers immediately became subtle.
And this subtlety became more and more obvious under the expressions of the bishops and priests who did not deny it, but obviously changed slightly.
The buzz seems to be getting louder...
As for Old John, he completely let go of himself.
He held his head high and looked disdainful. Under the ugly eyes of the bishop and the surprised eyes of the priests, he poured out all the thousand-year-old secrets he had read in the holy scriptures:
"To talk about betrayal, it should be the Eternal Church betraying the Life Church, or... the former Natural Church!"
"Thousands of years ago, it was the Eternal Lord who accepted my Lord's help and achieved the status of **** who betrayed my Lord in return for kindness and revenge!"
"Thousands of years ago, it was the gods in the heavens who, for their own selfish desires, prevented my lord from taking any further steps and attacked my lord secretly!"
"If we want to talk about betrayers, the Eternal Church is the betrayer!"
"Shut up! You shameless blasphemer! How dare you blaspheme the name of our Lord!"
The trial bishop was furious and scolded sternly.
The other clergy present also cast angry glances, and some who could not bear their temper even stood up and glared at Old John.
Even the eternal Pope Benedict II in the center of the high platform, the smile in his eyes has become much colder.
The look he looked at Old John became more and more profound.
For a time, one powerful breath after another pressed towards Old John, which was the shock of the anger of the archbishops of the Eternal Church.
Old John felt like a tsunami-like force coming from all directions, bombarding his spirit and soul. His face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but groan.
Dark red blood flowed slowly down his nostrils and corners of his mouth.
However, his waist was still straight and his eyes were calm.
He smiled slightly, mockingly:
"Is this the Eternal Church? The anger after uncovering the scars is not anger or hypocrisy, so what is it?"
"You——!"
Listening to Old John's sarcasm, the Trial Bishop was so angry that his body was shaking and his eyes were almost ready to spit fire.
Looking at the angry bishops, Old John gave up and stopped entangled in the old things from a thousand years ago.
He sighed softly and said:
"Of course, the past has passed, just like the clouds of the past, it is no longer important."
"The great goddess Mian also warned us in the "Sacred Scripture of Life" that keeping history in mind can help us remember the lessons, but at the same time, we must focus on the present and the future..."
"I mentioned the past, not to show how innocent the Life Church is, but to remind everyone that the charge of betrayal must be imposed on our Lord, on our Life Church, the Eternal Church... and Not qualified enough."
"In my opinion, for the human world and the vast majority of people, the Church of Life is the future and hope, while the Eternal Church is just garbage that will be swept into the garbage dump of history."
"You... are bold! You evil pagan! You actually dare to blaspheme our Lord and the great eternal holy religion!"
Hearing this, the trial bishop finally became furious.
As he spoke, he refuted:
"My Lord is bright and just, punishes evil and promotes good. It is precisely because of my Lord's protection that mankind can become the protagonist of this era. How can my Lord's achievements be understood by you, a mere heretic and a betrayer of mankind? ”
Old John sighed lightly:
"I do not deny the contribution that the Eternal Church has made to human society. However, the Eternal Church is also a shackles, restricting the further development of human society and limiting the common development of all races and civilizations in the entire Saigas world. Progress..."
"Absurd! Sophistry! Confusion!"
The Trial Bishop reprimanded.
Old John chuckled and stood up straighter.
The flying snowflakes fell on him, making him look a little more free and carefree:
"Judge Mr. Bishop."
He looked into the judge’s eyes with clear eyes:
"Since you don't agree with what I say, then...do you dare to argue with me about the meaning of our scriptures?"
Hearing these words, the Trial Bishop’s eyes narrowed slightly.
