460: I said, let there be light

Amidst the torrential downpour.

Kong Fangxiang still stood as before; no matter how boisterous the gale, it could not make him retreat a single step, only managing to blow his draped robes.

Before him were dense crowds.

They came from various races.

Some had their memories Awakened, some did not.

But they were all the same!

They were weak!

Even if they Awakened their memories, they did not gain a powerful Legacy, because their talents were too poor; they were born weak.

At this moment, Kong Fangxiang had ripped open the last shred of their inner shame.

In the pouring rain, no one left.

Suddenly.

A man roared, "So what!?

Don't we understand these things you're saying!?

But at least they are our own kind!

Do we have any other choice but to trust them!?

What else can we do?"

Kong Fangxiang chuckled, "You can choose to join us."

The man scoffed, "Join you?

And then be your cannon fodder?

What's the difference between you and them?

Who doesn't know that in this world, the strong remain strong, and the weak remain weak; if your talent isn't enough, you're destined to be bullied!

It's the same everywhere!

Even if you live a slightly better life for a short time, it's merely the strong's charity!

The day they don't want to give it to us anymore, everything will return to how it was!

Weak creatures like us don't even have the right to live in this world!

Because in this world, one more of me or one less of me makes no difference at all!

We, these weak people, are simply not important!

This is the truth of this world!"

The entire place fell silent.

Everyone's hearts were like the sky at this moment.

Overcast with clouds, spirits low.

Because the voice that confronted the Saint just now was their innermost thought.

Suddenly, the crowd felt a dazzling golden light flash across the corner of their eyes.

They looked up; it turned out to be the Saint's mask glowing, reflecting on everyone's faces.

Kong Fangxiang's voice was very soft, but at this moment, everyone could hear it clearly.

"So, you just accept this so-called truth that the weak don't even have the right to live.

Are you... willing to accept it?"

Willing to accept it?

The tone of these three words was not heavy, but they hammered into the hearts of all beings present like heavy drums.

Willing to accept it?

One hammer after another, hammering them into unbearable pain, their hearts aching.

How could they be willing?

But...

"What can we do if we're not willing?"

A few whimpering sounds came from below the stage.

"Yeah, what can we do if we're not willing?"

Suddenly.

Kong Fangxiang let out a long, turbid breath, then slowly raised his head, looked at the pouring rain, and said calmly.

"Those who are unwilling, follow me.

I will lead you to a bright future.

Because I said, 'Let there be light.'"

The first reaction of the crowd below was a bit confused.

They felt this sentence was enigmatic and incomprehensible.

Until the next second.

Bursts of golden sunlight suddenly pierced through the dark clouds, scattering onto the shoulders of all living beings.

The heavy rain and thunder ceased abruptly at this moment.

They raised their heads one after another.

They saw a sacred power, so holy that it made people instinctively want to prostrate themselves, rising from the Saint on the stage and spreading towards the gloomy sky.

It dispersed the boundless dark clouds!

Feeling the warmth emanating from the sunlight.

In the minds of some beings, the words of the Saint just now echoed.

I will lead you to a bright future.

Because I said, 'Let there be light!'

What kind of power is this?

A single sentence can make light shine upon the land.

Is this a god?

For some reason, as they looked at the figure standing proudly in the center of the square, bathed in light, they felt as if they had seen hope.

Suddenly.

Kong Fangxiang walked down the steps of the square, stepping out of the protective spell cast by Qingyun, and stood among countless beings who had previously spoken ill of him.

At this moment.

There was no longer overwhelming curses!

The beings instinctively moved to both sides.

Before Kong Fangxiang, an incomparably wide and clean path appeared.

He walked forward with one hand behind his back, with the powerful strides of a Dragon and a tiger.

As he walked, he said in a deep voice, "I know why you are hostile to me.

Because the high-ranking officials in the Galaxy King Alliance are constantly instilling words of slander against us into you.

But the ones who started the war and killed your relatives have never been us!

Over the past millennium, the ones who brought the only warmth to this cruel land have been us!"

At this point, Kong Fangxiang was already standing before all the masses.

He suddenly swung his forest-green robe, turning to face the group of beings whose eyes were filled with hope.

He said unequivocally, "Some people want to use lives as cannon fodder.

Some people succumb to power and choose to betray this planet.

Some people want to cover the sky with one hand, believing they can become the Dominator of the Galaxy.

Some people want to destroy your destiny and manipulate everything about you!

But there are also people who want you to know that every life has the right to live well on this vast land!

The Earth nurtures us.

We protect the Earth!

This is the Earth Goddess Church!

Any existence that dares to deprive other beings of their destiny is our enemy!

The butcher's knife in our hands only slashes those rats who hide in the dark and dare not come out!

I, the Chief Saint of the Earth Goddess Church, why do I dare to stand within the territory of the Galaxy King Alliance, to stand before you!?

Because this is the meaning of the Earth Goddess Church's existence!

I promise you in the name of the Chief Saint!

I will lead you out of suffering!

Because this is the meaning of my existence!

Those willing to believe me, follow me!"

As his words fell, Kong Fangxiang turned around once more, his back to the world, and walked towards that green pure land.

Suddenly.

Thunder roared in the sky, fierce winds rose, and dark clouds gathered again above people's heads!

A terrifying power permeated the gloomy sky.

Fear descended once again into the hearts of the people in this city.

The top powerhouses of the alien races had finally arrived!

This world was filled with endless killing intent.

But the young man wearing the sacred golden mask was not afraid at all; instead, he turned his head and stared intently at the newly re-formed dark clouds!

He did not care what price a powerful enemy would bring to Lawful Utterance.

He stubbornly said.

"I said, 'Let there be light!'"
