Chapter 706: Divine Favor

Corso City.
Within the sounds of shouting and killing, the flag representing the Noether royal family slowly drifted in the blood and fire, being replaced by the symbol of the Stan Duchy.
As a few large noble families inside the city had changed sides during the war, Fang Yuan reached the city gates with his troops and captured the Noether Kingdom’s capital nearly effortlessly.
“Sir!” Garce walked forward respectfully. “Inside the city, Duke Wellington, Duke Senno, and Marquis Nister have already followed the agreement to give up the city and have dispatched their private soldiers to surround the palace. Also, we have dispatched a small elite team that has already followed up on the intelligence to uproot the base of the secret agency in the Noether Kingdom, sparing no one!”
He was already no longer that immature guard from before. His body contained the strength of a professional and the capabilities of an experienced soldier, and could completely be sent to take charge.
“I got it. Let the army enter the city!”
Fang Yuan nodded.
These noble three families were all influential in the Noether Kingdom and had been drawn over by the Harvest Lady, especially the Wellington Family. If not for his interference, it was possible that they could have replaced the original royal family and sat on the throne.
Of course, in order to persuade them, the Stan Duchy had also paid a huge price.
Retaining their original fiefs and positions was all normal, but there were even more terms and conditions attached.
“However, this was the arrangements of the Harvest Lady. What does it have to do with me?”
A contemplative smile appeared on Fang Yuan.
As a leader, going back on their word was just an instinct, but they had to pay great attention to their manners.
It was naturally impossible to directly fall out, but it was necessary to shift and transfer.
However, seeing the nobles coming forward to welcome him, he still put on a delightful smile and went forward to warmly welcome them.
A few secret and shady tactics had to wait until he was crowned king. With this thought, a cold light flashed through his eyes.
In Sun God Year 2671, Luhn was officially crowned king of the Noether Kingdom and established the Orchid Dynasty. He was proclaimed as Luhn I and started a new form of governance.
Under his governance, the Harvest Lady and the Joy Lady’s churches quickly found their footing. As for those original nobles, those who followed the Noether King were completely stripped of their ranks and fiefs, and sentenced to death or sent into exile.
Even those nobles who defected encountered tactics such as being promoted on paper but demoted in reality.
With Fang Yuan’s schemes and tactics that came from so many worlds, just the slight implementation of a small tactic already made those nobles suffer in silence.
The huge profits that were obtained were naturally distributed between the royal family and the newly promoted military nobles.
Fang Yuan deeply knew that nobles were unreliable.
Especially those experienced nobles that could betray their king for profit; they could similarly betray him.
Thus, it was relatively important to foster a new interest group that was inclined toward him.
If not for suppressing these old people and implementing a redistribution of profits, then this new kingdom would definitely not last.
And at this moment, with the situation of the Goddess’ churches having to establish themselves, they seldom interfered with the kingdom’s affairs, so Fang Yuan boldy carried out drastic reforms.
As for the original royal family?
After announcing the identity and charges of Redwin, Fang Yuan had already successfully associated their image with the Evil Demons. It wasn’t nipping the problem in the bud, but at least there was a low possibility for later generations to obtain a comeback.
...
Inside a monastery.
“War... right?”
Django changed into a completely clean white shirt and looked well-spirited. He was currently learning swordsmanship from a knight.
Seeing the various people hurrying about outside, he was contemplative.
The collapse of the Noether Kingdom was indeed out of many people’s expectations. Especially that new Orchid Kingdom and Legend king that were unable to obtain the approval of many local nobles.
Thus, after founding the nation, a large clean up operation and feast for dividing profits was about to start.
All of the original Noether Kingdom was in the midst of a fire beacon.
Cough cough!
At this moment, a bishop walked over. “Django, how are you recently?”
“Thanks to the Goddess, I am doing well!”
Django’s face was full of gratitude.
“His strength and reaction are very good, and he can become an exceptional warrior!” Nodded the knight who was in charge of training.
The bishop nodded and said, “Hmm, start packing up and prepare to transfer!”
“Transfer?” Doubts appeared on Django’s face.
“Leave this country and head toward the Church headquarters!” The bishop was solemn.
This monastery worshiped the Mother Earth Goddess. Even though her relation with Harvest Lady was decent, according to the agreement between the Gods, the people here still had to be decreased and could only become a small base.
But, obviously, leaving this Son of Purgatory in someone else’s base seemed very inappropriate.
Especially since the Mother Earth Goddess seemed to put much emphasis on this child.
Django was silent for a long time before replying, “Understood!”
Why would Mother Goddess have so much favor for this person?
Looking at the back of the youth, the bishop was doubtful. Compared to the other Sons of Purgatory, he isn’t any different... However, how can an ordinary person peep at the thoughts of the Gods? Not to mention, they can also occasionally see the trajectory of destiny!
...
At the same time, somewhere an unknown distance from the Noether Kingdom.
“Ah! I’ve recovered!”
An average soldier looked at the disappearing scales on his hand and showed a joyful look while deeply bowing to the surrounding pastors and bishops. “Thank you for your favor, Life Goddess!”
“You can leave.”
An archbishop wearing a long robe with vine decorations on the sides of his shirt waved his hand and let this test subject leave while staring attentively at the infant inside the cradle. “Really... unbelievable!”
“After verification, the ability of this infant can dispel the powers of the Evil Demons in the bodies of all the ordinary people within range of the temple. It’s the same for professionals, but if it’s divinity, three days is required. The stronger the divinity, the longer the time required. This is the true power of purification!”
“Not only that, those who were enhanced by the power would retain most of it, even keeping their body qualities and capabilities!”
“This is a real Son of God! The Son of Salvation!”
The bishops discussed among themselves.
Kaboom!
Suddenly, holy white light flickered inside the church.
A strong will descended, and the God’s statue seemed to come alive, transforming into an emerald green body and causing the pastors to all kneel.
“Lady!”
She had aquamarine long hair, and her eyes were full of the vitality of life. She was one of the Nine Pillar Gods, Life Goddess Venus.
Giggle.
The Goddess went to the cradle. Once Heim saw her, he instantly released an innocent smile and let out a giggle.
“In the name of a God, you shall become the Son of Salvation of the world!”
Venus bent down and lightly kissed the infant’s forehead. “Bless you, my child. You will definitely mature to confront the evil forces that infiltrate the world!”
Whoosh!
A stream of water appeared in the air, immediately wrapping the infant.
“This is... the Water of Life?”
The hearts of the bishops and pastors greatly trembled.
Even at their level, when they occasionally received a gift from the Goddess, it was only a few drops. However, there were millions of drops here. It formed a water ball and completely wrapped the cradle within.
The infant inside instantly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye and took on the appearance of a twenty year old youth.
According to the guidance of destiny, the newly born Son of the World must immediately mature to face the challenges of the evil forces!
The Life Goddess glanced at young Heim one last time as her body exploded into bits of aquamarine lights and disappeared.
“Argh... Argh...”
At the moment, Young Heim was still naked as he struggled to stand up. Suddenly, he slipped and fell flat on his face..
“Thank you for your favor, Goddess!”
The bishop’s face twitched, but he also knew that that youth was just a white sheet of paper and his intelligence was not lacking. He would become like a normal person with some slight guidance. He nodded, and quickly, two pastors walked forward holding a long robe and gave it to the youth to cover his shame.
This extent of divine favor...
The other bishops looked at this scene as they contemplated...
...
“Lord!”
Somewhere in a secret dark room, believers wearing black robes were walking toward a God’s statue to prostrate.
They could see that the dark red glow enveloping the God’s statue that very similar Jay.
As the newly ascended Death God, he had concealed himself very deeply during this period.
On one hand, he had to digest the gains from killing a God. On the other, he had to hide from the pursuit of the Gods.
An ordinary person, a Son of Purgatory, had actually killed one of the Nine Pillar Gods?
As Jay’s reputation had spread throughout the Monger World, he was intensely hated by many Gods.
Furthermore, it was not only the Gods. Even the other Sons of Purgatory were frantically investigating his whereabouts.
After all, Jay had already been in the lead for too long. If those Sons of Purgatory were unable to combine forces and annihilate him while he was weak, they would definitely be completely defeated.
Thus, until now, even though Jay had already recovered, he was still afraid of meeting people with his true body.
“Very good, my believers!”
A bright light swivelled and the God’s statue casually opened its mouth. “I want you to go to the central region! Find a pastor of the Sun God Ramon there for me! This is his information...”
“Your will is our destiny!”
The Evil God believers bowed and accepted the oracle.
A glow flickered on the God’s statue and then instantly disappeared with a flash.
However, within the believers, a youth with a pale face puffed his lips in scorn. “Sending messages using part of his soul again? He’s so careful... only that the Sun God pastor in the central region...”
He seemed to have thought of something, and his body trembled suddenly. “Is... this lunatic Jay still planning to fight Ramon? That’s right, even for the Supreme God, he still has to use his true body and descend into the mortal world...”
The weird look on the youth obviously attracted attention as a believer asked him strangely, “Drizzt, what happened?”
Suddenly, his brain dropped out and blood gushed out like a fountain.
The youth laughed weirdly, licking the fresh blood on the dagger. “Since Jay is unwilling to appear, then I can only kill all of you first...”
