In the center of the chapel stood a small wooden idol depicting none other than Eve.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that this idol was different from those worshipped in the Life Church—it lacked the light of faith, the blessings of the Goddess, and could not communicate with the Divine.
Yet, as a spiritual solace and an introduction to faith, it sufficed.
As Cyber entered the small chapel, more and more poor people began to gather, drawn by the news.
Soon, the entire chapel was crowded, with people even peering in through the windows.
Despite the growing crowd, everyone remained silent, their expectant gazes fixed on Cyber at the chapel’s center.
Cyber smiled slightly, bowed gently to the idol of the Goddess, and drew a symbol of the Life Scepter on his chest:
"Praise the Goddess!"
Quickly, all the poor followed suit, echoing in unison:
"Praise the Goddess!"
Cyber nodded lightly, took out a projection stone from his bosom, infused it with magic power, projected the magic image onto the wall, and smiled slightly:
"You have all been very curious about the Fengyue Free Territory. Before starting today’s lesson, let show you a magic image of the Fengyue Free Territory."
"The Fengyue Free Territory is one of the best regions for practicing the Goddess’s faith. I believe... after watching this image, you will have a deeper understanding of the power of the Life Church..."
After speaking, Cyber instigated magic power and started playing the image.
This image was specially recorded by players, showcasing all the beauty of the Fengyue Free Territory to the world.
Even Cyber himself couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing after watching the magic image of the Fengyue Free Territory.
Undoubtedly, for the vast majority of the Empire’s poor, who had never seen the world, the rapid developnt, peace, and prosperity depicted in the image of the Fengyue Free Territory were unparalleled in their soul-shaking impact.
All of this was brought about by the great World Tree, the great Life Goddess Eve.
The magic image played slowly, with the poor gazing wide-eyed, eagerly and attentively watching.
When they saw the hot air balloons and airships soaring in the image, they couldn’t help but exclaim.
When they saw the fantasy-like magic lights under Zelolan’s night sky, they gasped in amazent.
And when they saw the interview with refugees in the image, witnessing them transform from penniless fugitives to respectable and prosperous new citizens in less than a year, they were awestruck and filled with yearning...
Faced with the fervent gazes of these human poor, Cyber felt a pang of sighing in his heart.
Before entering the Human Kingdom, based on the "Elf Kingdom" ga background, he harbored little favorable opinion towards the Empire and its commoners.
But after delving deeper into the Human Empire’s society, Cyber realized that most people were rely pitiable souls oppressed by the nobility, struggling to make a living.
He still vaguely rembered that when he first arrived here half a month ago, the residents were very wary of him. Now, they had finally accepted him.
Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without his relentless efforts over the past half month.
Glancing at his system ssages, the completion rate of the system task had reached 95%.
The task was none other than the popular missionary quest among Priest Players recently within the ga.
Unlike previous missionary quests, this one targeted the Empire’s commoners.
And as a Gold Professional, Cyber had accepted the highest level mission—
[High Order Priest Trial Task: A Spark]
The goal of this task was to develop at least 500 Life believers within the Empire, genuinely accepting the Goddess’s faith and being willing to fight for her.
The biggest difference from past missionary tasks was that it required nurturing a fighting spirit among new believers.
This wasn’t sothing that the missionary guru from Demacia could achieve with re persuasion. It required letting new believers understand the Goddess’s teachings and awaken the courage to resist the nobility...
Cyber had no doubt that the plot of the "Elf Kingdom" was progressing towards reform and war within the Human Kingdom.
Regarding this, he was quite excited; personally participating in a revolution within the ga and leading NPCs to initiate a new era was indeed thrilling.
As for the spread of personal reputation and massive system rewards during this process, he wasn’t very concerned.
There was no helping it; the Frost Elves had given him so much...
Cyber considered himself to have transcended petty interests.
Without the pressure of contribution points, without the pressure of leveling up, without the pressure of reputation and legendary status, now he simply wished to pursue more advanced interests...
What he wanted to achieve was to leave his na, not only in the Elf Forest, but across the entire "Elf Kingdom" and in the history of humans.
This would give him great satisfaction, especially when witnessing his power altering the ga’s plot... just like the return of the Frost Elves in the past.
In half a month’s ti, Cyber had t the criterion of developing believers. The next step was to fully inspire the believers’ fighting spirit.
If all went well, by the end of today’s lesson, the task could be completed perfectly.
The magic image played for a full twenty minutes.
After twenty minutes, the image slowly dissipated, and the poor people displayed expressions of longing for more.
Within the chapel, it was extrely quiet. Every poor person who ca to listen to the teachings showed faces filled with longing and hope...
Seeing their srizing expressions, Cyber smiled slightly and took out the materials he had prepared.
"The miracle of the Fengyue Free Territory was gained through the arduous struggle of its people."
"The Empire is declining, the nobility is corrupt, the Church is decaying..."
"Only by uniting and choosing to resist can one blaze a never-before-seen trail in these dark tis, creating a world free from oppression, rich and happy..."
Cyber spoke with solemnity.
Upon hearing his words, the poor began to ponder.
"Lord Cyber... then what should we do?"
Soone couldn’t help but ask.
"That’s precisely what I will continue to explain next."
Cyber smiled slightly.
With that, he took out three new textbooks.
One inscribed in gold letters with "Life, Rights, and Struggle."
Another titled "The Life Church Theory and Fengyue Free Territory Thought."
And a third titled "The Relationship Between Feudal Nobles and Eternal Church."
All were works concocted by the player Dongdong.
They were filled with mischievous humor everywhere.
Cyber opened the textbooks and began to deliver his lecture using the strategy guide provided on the official website, employing a way that uneducated poor people could understand, with varied intonation.
As he lectured, the poor people at tis pondered, at tis appeared lost, at tis suddenly understood, and at tis got excited...
It was unclear how much ti had passed when a soft chi from the system indicated the task’s completion.
At this point, the poor people were already becoming restless. The elderly veteran at the forefront, once a professional, was blushing, clenching his fists tightly:
"So that’s how it is... so that’s how it is!"
Seeing the increasingly dense light of faith emanating from the people, Cyber felt quite gratified.
However, just when everyone started to engage in passionate discussions, suddenly, a scream echoed from outside the small chapel.
Cyber frowned, looking at the chapel door, and in the next mont, the door was violently kicked open.
In the frightened, hostile, and panicked gazes of the poor, a squad of silver-armored Judgent Knights appeared in everyone’s sight.
Leading them was a tall Black Robed Priest, exuding strong power, which posed a significant threat to Cyber.
His gaze coldly swept across everyone present, finally resting on Cyber, whose expression was serious, and the idol of the Goddess beside him.
His expression suddenly darkened.
"Arrest this heretic who misleads the public!"
The Black Robed Priest snorted coldly, ordering.
