Cecilia Jacobs managed things with an exceptional efficiency, and a few days later, a temporary tower was built outside the city, fully mobilizing the followers to pave a wide open square stretching hundreds of miles.
The day of the religious event drew closer and closer.
Over these past days, Yusuf Zuck had been continuously training. Although not entering ditation, he had thoroughly reacquainted himself with all the Divine Skills he had learned over the years, refining his use of the Eternal Fire to perfection.
The day of the event finally arrived. Before dawn, Yusuf Zuck was escorted by Cecilia Jacobs, Kimberly Mckay, and others to the Tower of Eternal Life outside the city. Despite being early morning, masses of people had already gathered outside the city, devoutly kneeling, praying, blessing, chanting scriptures, and so on.
Once inside the new tower, Yusuf Zuck imdiately changed into a new robe. This was the Heavenly Clothes made of golden threads, emblazoned with the totems of Longevity Sect. Being woven with pure golden threads, it emitted a dazzling light.
The soon-to-be ordained Sect Hierarch and various Archbishops t Yusuf Zuck in advance, where he laid his hands on their heads, conferring blessings, and spoke encouraging words.
The choice for Sect Hierarch was set on Kimberly Mckay, and Yusuf Zuck both anointed her and selected a Cultivation Technique suitable for her training, even bestowing Supre Treasures upon her!
This was unparalleled honor. With Yusuf Zuck personally transmitting knowledge and granting treasures, Kimberly Mckay held the ceremony of a direct disciple, marking her as Yusuf Zuck’s true follower in this world!
Once daylight broke, the event officially comnced, with Cecilia Jacobs, Kimberly Mckay, and others leading countless followers in chanting scriptures and offering blessings. Representatives were selected to speak on stage, interpret scriptures, and more!
The assembled congregation exceeded a hundred million, and this after just three months of preparation, with so followers having not made it from afar within that period. Yet the sheer number of dressed-up believers spread across hundreds of miles was overwhelming.
At midday, following a series of activities, it was finally Yusuf Zuck’s turn to appear, embraced by the crowd as he stepped out of the tower and floated in midair to its pinnacle!
As he hovered at the top of the tower, excitent erupted across the vast square, with praises, cries, laughter, continuous kowtowing in prayer, blessings, and more.
Yusuf Zuck’s hands pressed downward, instantly emitting a radiance of brilliant golden light across the vast earth, and the millions of believers imdiately quieted, all eyes were on him.
With a slight smile, Yusuf Zuck observed—this was his first ti witnessing such a scene, yet he felt no stage fright. The millions below were all blessing him, worshipping him, and at that mont, he felt the power of belief and blessing surging like a torrent through his soul, through his Purple Blood Beads, causing all his Purple Blood Beads to show a tendency to rise, to open!
Suddenly, the massive square fell silent, everyone awaited his speech.
He then conveyed the plan he had long prepared.
"At the beginning of human life, the nature is fundantally good; similar in nature, but diverse in practice..." He unexpectedly began reciting from the Three Character Classic.
Indeed, he recited from the Three Character Classic, unsure of what else to say, and eventually decided upon the text because it spoke of ’benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, and filial piety’!
Of course, there were many revisions in the Three Character Classic, such as omitting parts like the story of ng Mother and others.
The sect he founded aid to teach goodness, to cultivate people into good, sincere, righteous, and filial individuals, aligning precisely with the teachings of the Three Character Classic!
All were attentively listening, so confused, yet deeply tasting the anings within the text.
Yusuf Zuck did not rush his recitation, maintaining a steady pace, with pauses and hesitations...
Soon, after several minutes, he concluded the Three Character Classic, then suddenly laughed, "Perhaps many of you do not understand what I just spoke of."
"I spoke of the Three Character Classic, the root of my Longevity Sect. Now I will provide definitions!"
"The aning of ’At the beginning of human life, the nature is fundantally good; similar in nature, but diverse in practice’ is that at birth, human nature is inherently good, and natural dispositions are similar. Only differing environnts and educations result in vastly different characteristics."
"As for ’If not taught, the nature will change. The key to teaching is diligence,’ it ans: If a child is not properly taught, their good nature will beco corrupted. The most important thod to prevent corruption is dedicated and attentive education."
He began speaking like an ancient text instructor, tirelessly explaining sentence by sentence to the believers, who listened enthralled because the teachings were correct — at birth, even demons, beasts, and devils are not bad by nature, but later beco so through nurture, through education.
Such is the Sect Hierarch; the Sect Hierarch fully comprehends human nature, understands the nature of heaven itself, the Sect Hierarch knows all...
Four hours later, all the definitions of the Three Character Classic were finished, and Yusuf Zuck prepared for the final blessing ceremony!
However, at this mont, a discordant voice arose.
"Sect Hierarch, if you teach goodness, then how can those who have already learned evil return to their original nature?" A loud voice shouted, standing up.
Instantly, millions of people turned their gaze toward this person!
Yusuf Zuck rely smiled. He had already sensed it—there were villains among the millions, suppressing their Cultivation Levels, disguising their aura like ordinary Immortals, at least thirty or forty of them!
He knew the Demon King had co and would surely create chaos, and now, it had begun indeed!
The square quieted, as all were puzzled, unaware that this person was a troublemaker, not realizing he was a super master, though they were curious to hear the Sect Hierarch’s explanation.
Yusuf Zuck smiled, looking at the man, "You must be called Mosa? Your father was once a human divine being, later saving a sentient green snake spirit in the forest, which led to your birth. After being born, you were exceptional, possessing innate Divine Skills, reaching from heaven above to earth below, killing countless lives in your lifeti, eventually joining the Divine Dynasty’s Demon King as his Left Wing Forward, aiding his tyranny, slaughtering divine beings. You have six sons, nine daughters, seven wives, seven hundred servants, two thousand one hundred and twenty-two guards. Last night you descended from the Divine Realm, concealing your aura, blending into the crowd, planning with thirty-six demon gods to assassinate at today’s event. Prior to leaving your ho the day before yesterday, you instructed and wrote a family letter for your clan’s next successor. Of course, what you are thinking now is, how does Jordan Webb know?"
"Wow—" Mosa stood up in panic, and the thirty-five other individuals scattered across the crowd simultaneously rose, staring at Yusuf Zuck with disbelief!
All the believers were stunned; this person ca to assassinate the Sect Hierarch? It was a demon god from the Divine Realm? But how does the Sect Hierarch know everything!
No, no, the Sect Hierarch is simply all-knowing!
At this point, Yusuf Zuck looked at the thirty-six people who had stood up, "Are you amazed at how I know everything about Mosa?"
"In truth, I know everything about each of you as well. I also know the Demon King had you co down first as re cannon fodder, just to die, while you remain uninford of your pending doom!"
