Korea, Phosphor Church Grand Hall.

For this was the place chosen by the Ghostly God.

Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu declined the low-priced new venues offered by many Landlords.

He simply used their provided manpower and resources to renovate the Grand Hall without affecting the sacrificial activities.

He even purchased the lands on both sides of the Grand Hall, beginning construction of waiting areas, rest zones, and even a canteen to ensure the efficiency of the believers’ sacrifices.

In Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu’s planned vision, he intended to establish a Phosphor Church paradise on earth with this Grand Hall as the core!

Just as he had sincerely worshipped those charlatans who had created a state within a state when he first chose this path.

He aimed to build a community where all the residents were believers.

But he still didn’t know the temperament of the Ghostly God behind it all–would that being care about mundane matters like taking ninety-nine wives?

“Praise the Angel King!”

Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu closed the scripture and completed his final prayer.

A wave of gratitude for the Sect Hierarch and praises for the Holy Lord echoed in the packed Grand Hall.

Then, under the guidance of the Priests, they orderly left the Grand Hall.

He watched the last Priest bow respectfully before closing the door.

Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu let out a breath of murky air and then briskly walked to the backstage room.

He saw the Priest Jin Mingjun, who could no longer go out in public.

Having been implanted with the Fake Dragon Blood, this Priest gained a bit of Transcendent power, but was also paying a terrible price.

Previously, it had been only overeating and the emergence of some atypical features on his skin.

As time went on,
his Transcendent ability hit a ceiling and ceased to strengthen further.

Instead, his body began to swell abnormally, turning into a three-meter-tall spherical fat man.

This fat man was covered in scales and continuously oozed a disgusting green liquid.

At the same time, the amount of food and water he needed daily increased more and more.

The maintenance of his logistics alone was becoming unbearable for his brother Jin Mingxiu.

It was impossible to add more people to the mix, as Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu was well aware that secrets would be leaked immediately with more people around.

But even so, as so many materials were brought in and the Church grew bigger, it also attracted discontent from many peers.

Recently, Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu also caught wind of hints from a certain assembly member in the Capital District who had contacted him out of the blue.

The Red Snake Sect was lobbying the higher-ups, claiming that Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu was too excessive, using the previous rat swarm incident to deliberately instill terror and win over the hearts of people and that continuing thus would be a disaster.

They wanted to strip the Phosphor Sect of its legality first and then take it upon themselves to incorporate it.

The Red Snake Sect spans Korea and the Sakura Country.

They are a large sect that worships the red snake totem and believes it is the Savior’s Avatar in modern society.

Starting as monks, they were once a small sect that was expelled from Korea but managed to grow after entering the Sakura Country.

The founding Master suddenly had a revelation, blending a hodgepodge of secret transmissions from Cross Sect, Shintoism, and so on, creating a systematic method to deceive people.

And with this method, they thrived barbarically during a time when the internet was underdeveloped, so that by the time everyone understood the scientific principles behind it,
the Red Snake Sect had already become the second-largest underground sect in the Sakura Country, commanding tens of thousands of loyal followers.

So much so that even after being exposed and collectively sued by the victims,
the sect continued to flourish, and not only did they turn the plaintiffs into the accused for a public prosecutor,
but they also invested heavily in an anime movie to propagate their greatness and correctness.

After that, they even counterattacked back into Korea.

Fighting through so many sects in Korea, they aggressively carved out a slice of the cake for themselves.

Sometimes Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu couldn’t help but lament that he was born in the wrong era. If he could have been born a few decades earlier in the heyday of the hippies,
systematically brainwashing followers would have been much easier than now, with far fewer regulations.

There were also many special drugs that could only be made in labs, which you could get simply by paying money.

And loyal followers, in a sense, were the very foundation for sect leaders like themselves who lacked real Transcendent backing.

A few dozen were enough to let one live comfortably, a few hundred could influence the environment of the local area, making the authorities tend to favor one’s side without spending a penny…

“Who’s there!”

Just as Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu was reflecting on all this and looking at the Priest who had turned into a monster,
he suddenly heard Priest Jin Mingjun’s fatty flesh tremble angrily, roaring in his direction.

Immediately, a gust of wind blew the curtain behind Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu open, causing a skinny man to tumble onto the floor.

The appearance of an outsider shocked both the Sect Hierarch and another person.

They quickly rushed over, pinning down the diminutive intruder.

“Monster… monster!”

But the skinny man didn’t panic; instead, looking at Priest Jin Mingjun covered in a black cloak with a misshapen body and emanating an ominous aura, his lips trembled uncontrollably as he blurted out,
“The Master was indeed right; you are the Fallen Ones sent by demons to bewitch people’s hearts!”

“Hehehe, you’ve been exposed, and you will be personally eradicated from this world by the Master!”

Listening to the small man’s nonsense, Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu sensed something was amiss.

He then noticed the Red Snake tattoo on the back of the man’s neck.
