604: Chapter 582 The Divine Messenger's Test?

Guicheng. Inside the conference hall of a star-rated hotel.

An old man with a kind face stood on the podium, passionately recounting the glory of the Resurrection Society and chanting praises to the True God.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely heated. There were over three hundred people in the audience, all filled with high enthusiasm, taking an oath together under the old man's lead.

As the people's fervor reached its peak, the old man shouted loudly:

"The time for the True God to descend is drawing ever closer, and the tests we must endure will only increase..."

"Under the chaos of the strange monsters, our Charm attribute has been stripped away, and the growth of the pioneer power within us has been suppressed!"

"We must constantly open our bodies and minds, actively offer up our spirituality to nurture it, and grow together, or else we will suffer pain and calamity..."

Just then, a tall, fat young man in the audience raised his hand and shouted: "I have a question."

The room fell silent in an instant, and everyone's gaze shifted in unison to focus on him.

The old man smiled and said: "Brother, what question do you have?"

"I want to know, exactly which True God is descending?" the tall, fat young man asked while scratching his head:

"We've been attending this meeting for many days now, always talking about firm faith in the deity, but I still don't know that deity's title. Is it the Final Phantom God, or the God of the Void? Or perhaps the Lord of All Spirits? The King of Decay?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him put on expressions as if they were looking at an idiot, and some even shook their heads helplessly.

"He doesn't even know this? Is he a newcomer?"

"This kid is silly, but he looks quite cute."

"Even if he doesn't know himself, didn't his Guide tell him?"

The old man raised his hand, and the whispering around them stopped immediately. He looked at the tall, fat young man with a gentle gaze and asked with a smile: "What is your name, and who is your Guide?"

The tall, fat young man sighed: "My name is Pang Hu. My Guide is already dead. According to your words, it means he didn't pass the test and was slaughtered on the spot by the Night Watchers..."

"No, you are wrong." The old man corrected him:

"All the official personnel are members of our Resurrection Society. Your Guide was not killed; it was just a play acted out for the outside world, with the purpose of testing whether everyone's faith is firm..."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed: "Child, you actually believed that your Guide was dead. It seems your faith is still not firm enough."

Pang Hu coughed lightly: "But he really is dead. He died right in front of me, and before he died, he told me the location of this gathering and asked me to come and participate."

"Then that means your Guide did not pass the test." The old man said with a normal expression: "If one can faithfully believe in the deity and possess enough conviction, they will not be killed."

Pang Hu was stunned: "It can be like that?"

"That is the fact." The old man spoke slowly:

"Anyone who joins the Resurrection Society, as long as their faith in the deity is sincere enough, even if they are truly dead, will be resurrected on the day the deity descends! This is the true meaning of the Resurrection Society!"

Pang Hu continued to ask: "So, which True God is descending exactly?"

The old man said calmly: "That is the only True God above all gods, the God of Gods. His name is unknowable and unspeakable. You may call Him [Concealment]."

"When [Concealment] descends, all living beings will manifest. We will forget the past and sacrifice the future; only the present will exist eternally, forever with the True God."

"The past and future are gone... Damn, doesn't that just mean being dead?" Pang Hu made an exaggerated expression.

When these words were spoken, no one was angry, and no one criticized him.

Everyone's gaze when looking at Pang Hu was filled with immense pity, as if they were looking at an ignorant and fearless child.

"It seems your faith is still not firm enough."

The old man sighed: "Those whose conviction is not firm will surely suffer divine punishment. Poor child, right here, let us grant you liberation, offer you as a sacrifice to the deity, and from now on, you will never give rise to delusional thoughts again..."

As the old man spoke slowly, the gazes of everyone around became incredibly eerie at this moment.

"Don't blame me for whether my conviction is firm or not; ask yourselves instead." Pang Hu pointed to the large screen playing a live broadcast in front of them, smiling mockingly: "Look, where has Chu Xuan arrived?"

Everyone looked where he pointed. They saw that Chu Xuan on the screen had already landed the white emperor fighter. As the scene shifted, a familiar hotel appeared on camera.

However, upon seeing this scene, everyone was not afraid in the slightest; instead, they revealed expressions of immense anticipation.

"Chu Xuan is here!"

"This is the deity's envoy. He has come here to purge those whose conviction is not firm."

"This fatty can actually be considered fortunate to be able to have the Divine Envoy visit in person..."

People stared at the large screen without blinking. As the camera in the footage moved, a door to the conference hall came into view.

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

Just then, the wooden door of the conference hall was pushed open.

They saw a figure shrouded in a dark vortex slowly step into the conference hall.

Behind him was a large rooster, half a person tall, holding professional live-streaming equipment and following closely to film.

"Lord Divine Envoy!"

"Greetings, Lord Divine Envoy!"

Everyone bowed in unison toward Chu Xuan, and the old man was even more incredibly excited, trembling with excitement as he looked around at everyone:

"Do you see? Lord Divine Envoy is live-streaming to the entire network to prove for our Resurrection Society that we are not rats that cannot see the light. Everything is just a means to regulate the number of members and to test us..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed suddenly.

Bang!

The old man's body exploded suddenly, charred flesh and blood splattered everywhere, emitting waves of the smell of roasted meat.

Everyone was shocked beyond words and terrified, but soon, fervor began to show in their eyes.

"This is all fake!"

"This is the Divine Envoy's test for us!"

"As long as we keep our conviction firm, we won't die..."

However, Chu Xuan's next sentence caused everyone's hearts to sink once again.

"I have never been any Divine Envoy, and I will never test you. I have come here to wipe out the remnants of the Resurrection Society."

The scene was silent for a few seconds, when suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Everyone must keep their conviction firm; this is the Divine Envoy's test for us..."

Snap!

An electric arc shot out from Chu Xuan's fingertips, and that person instantly followed in the old man's footsteps, struck by the lightning, their whole body's flesh and blood exploded, and the remaining corpse turned into charred remains.
