The last part of the coronation ceremony ended quickly. The representatives of each country signed the oath provided by Geert and expressed that they would obey the orders of the Emperor. Anthony also signed the oath. This was also an indication of his attitude. He was ready to obey Li Huailin's first order.
Anthony's declaration surprised everyone. They didn't expect Li Huailin to convince Anthony. Seeing that Anthony had signed the oath, the other kings of smaller countries could only grit their teeth and sign the oath. They were panicking, but no one dared to say anything.
Surprisingly, some people actually refused to sign the oath on the spot. A king of a small country called Sadigar thought about it for a long time and decided not to sign the oath. He said that he was a follower of the Goddess of Harvest, Deluca, and that everyone in his country was a follower of the Goddess of Harvest. He said that he was willing to obey Li Huailin, but he couldn't obey Li Huailin's first order. Even if it was Li Huailin's order, he couldn't change his faith.
Everyone looked at the king named Landes in surprise. Was it really okay for him to go against Li Huailin? Wasn't he asking for death? Didn't he see that even the human emperor had obeyed? You're just a king of a small country. Your country is only the size of a palm, and the population of your entire country is less than the population of this city. How dare you not sign the oath? When everyone expressed their approval, they also turned to look at Li Huailin. They all wanted to see how Li Huailin would deal with this guy.
"Everyone in your country is a follower of the Goddess of Harvest. Are you that arrogant?" Li Huailin stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, everyone in our country is the most loyal follower of the Goddess of Harvest," Landes said proudly.
"Then … do you think you can be more loyal than me?" Li Huailin asked directly.
"Sigh … this …" Landes hesitated for a moment, and the people around him were shocked. Was Li Huailin even human? You called her god an evil god, and you were going to destroy her temple and kill all her followers? Brother, do you really understand the meaning of the word "loyal"? What was wrong with Landes? Why did he look so hesitant? Did he even need to think about it? They felt that if Li Huailin did that to the God they believed in, they would definitely go up and slap Li Huailin's face.
What was even more unexpected was that after thinking for a while, Landis bowed to Li Huailin and said, "Your Majesty's devotion to the Goddess of Harvest is unparalleled. You are the most devoted person in the world. I can't even …"
"What?" Everyone was stunned. No, big brother, are you joking? Are you really a follower of the Harvest Goddess Deluca?
"Look, I'm even more pious than you. I told you to believe, but why didn't you listen? Was it wrong for me to change your faith?" Li Huailin immediately asked.
Yes, Li Huailin also wanted to see how the system would react. Of course, he wanted these believers to change their Favorability with them. Indeed, their Favorability had been reduced, but there were still some who refused to change. So, he wanted to see how these NPCs would deal with such illogical behavior.
"No, of course His Majesty is doing the right thing." Indeed, from their point of view, Li Huailin's actions of telling them to believe in God was the right thing to do. "But even though it's the right thing to do, we don't wish to change our beliefs …"
"I see." Li Huailin nodded slightly. "In that case, you think I was right to change your faith, but you didn't listen to me. In other words, what you shouldn't believe is wrong. Since you know your actions are wrong, why won't you listen to me?"
Li Huailin continued to ask, mainly to see how the NPCs would react.
"This …" Landis was stumped by Li Huailin's questions. Yes, if Li Huailin was right to change their faith, then it was wrong for him to insist on not changing. He was a little confused, and he didn't know what was wrong.
"Since changing your faith is correct, then continuing to worship the Goddess of Harvest is wrong. Am I right?" Li Huailin continued to ask.
"Sigh … this … this …" Landis really didn't know how to answer.
"That's why I said that the Goddess of Harvest Deluca is an evil god. Am I wrong again?" Li Huailin asked.
"You're right." Landis immediately replied. This question was easy to answer. Because Li Huailin's behavior of insulting the Goddess of Harvest Deluca, his impression of Li Huailin increased. This led him to think that Li Huailin was right, so of course, his answer was the same.
"If that's the case, why don't you want to mend your ways?" Li Huailin continued to ask.
"This …" Landis couldn't answer again. After a few seconds of silence, Landis suddenly said, "Although it's wrong, I believe in the Goddess of Harvest Deluca. This can't be changed!"
"Heh …" Li Huailin facepalmed. So this was how it should be handled. "Then, you also know that what you're doing now is wrong, right?"
"Yes, I know I'm wrong," Landis said.
"Alright, you heard what I said just now. Now, I'm going to kill you, a believer. Do you have any objections?" Li Huailin asked.
"I … don't have any objections." Landis pondered for a moment before replying. In his opinion, slaughtering the believers of the Goddess of Harvest was the right thing to do.
"Very good, I like people like you who understand things. Men, drag him out and kill him," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
Two men immediately walked over and dragged Landis out of the temple. Landis didn't resist at all. He just lowered his head and allowed himself to be dragged away. He was probably still thinking about what went wrong with his logic. He felt like he was in the right.
"Look, what kind of people are these days? They all know that they have done something wrong, but they still refuse to change. I have the world in my heart, and I want to save the people from disaster. Why can't you all understand?" Li Huailin sighed and said, "Alright, now that there's no objection, everyone should go back and prepare. Tonight, we'll start destroying temples and capturing believers. Understood?"
"Your Majesty, but there's still a banquet …" Geert, who had just walked over, didn't have time to explain the previous order. When he heard Li Huailin asking them to leave, he immediately reminded Li Huailin.
"What banquet? We don't have time to eat now. We're all going to carry out the order." Li Huailin waved his hand. "I'll go to the barracks now and clean up the people in the barracks. Then, I'll lead a team to destroy the temple. After that, Geert, you immediately announce this to the world. I want the whole world to know about this in the shortest time possible."
"Eh? Your Majesty, about this matter … "Geert actually wanted to express his opinion on this matter to Li Huailin. Of course, he didn't agree with this matter. Although he wasn't a believer of the Goddess of Harvest, this was the same as going against a God. Geert was really worried that something big would happen as soon as he ascended the throne. However, Li Huailin didn't give him a chance at all.
"Legg, take me to the army camp of the 1st Legion." Li Huailin waved his hand at Legg, the current deputy commander of the 1st Legion, and then left.
The coronation ceremony of the Continent Emperor ended in this somewhat strange atmosphere. Soon, apart from the news of the Continent Emperor's coronation, another shocking news spread across the entire continent. That was, the first mission of the newly appointed Continent Emperor, Li Huailin, was to destroy the temple of the Goddess of Harvest and kill all the believers of the Goddess of Harvest. What was going on? The onlookers who didn't know the truth were stunned. Was he declaring war against a God? Since ancient times, no one had the guts to do so.
Of course, those who didn't believe in the Goddess of Harvest were curious to see what the newly appointed Continent Emperor was going to do, how big of a mess he would make, and whether he would court death or not. The protagonists of this order, the believers of the Goddess of Harvest, were anxious. Immediately, someone ran into the temple and began to pray to the statue of the Goddess of Harvest, Saint Deluca, to convey the whole matter to her.
Saint Deluca quickly received the news in the Divine Realm. The statues in the temple were her avatars. Not only could they absorb the faith of the believers, but they could also listen to the prayers of the believers. Therefore, she knew about this matter. To be honest, she was surprised. Yes, she didn't expect that Li Huailin would dare to resist, and even use such a large amount of energy.
She really didn't know who Li Huailin was. In her eyes, humans were all ants, and so was Li Huailin. Therefore, identity was not important at all. She just told her believers to kill him, and she thought that he would definitely die. She didn't need to do anything, and she was too lazy to deal with an ant like Li Huailin. However, she didn't expect that Li Huailin would dare to issue an order to destroy her temple. Did he know who he was? She was a high and mighty God, and he dared to resist her?
Therefore, the temples of the Goddess of Harvest appeared again. The Goddess of Harvest once again issued an oracle. The general meaning was that Li Huailin was the embodiment of evil. Saint Deluca informed all her believers to unite and kill Li Huailin, and make sure that he died miserably.
As soon as this new oracle was issued, something big immediately happened. This was because the believers of the Goddess of Harvest were confused when they received this new oracle. Why did they want to kill Li Huailin? From their point of view, Li Huailin was the most devout believer of the Goddess of Harvest. Since he was going to wipe out her temple, he was 10,000 times more devout than them, so shouldn't the Goddess of Harvest reward him? Why did they mobilize all the believers to kill him?
Before Li Huailin even started, the believers on the opposite side were already confused.
