After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2702 The Riot After Disillusionment

For over four hundred years, the festering sores had been perfectly concealed by the magnificent robe, but the Demon Emperor suddenly ripped it open, revealing to the world the large area of ​​festering abscesses beneath.

The Bega people were so shocked that they could no longer look at him squarely.

They scrimped and saved, practiced self-discipline and devotion, and dedicated their lives to this rotten, pus-filled thing.

Many people couldn't accept it and died of madness.

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” He Lingchuan saw a deeper point. “The Demon Emperor’s actions are all in the open, so the scale is huge because it’s mobilizing the people and the army; but I suspect that the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Palace’s counterattacks are all in private, which we may not be able to see, but the Demon Emperor has already tasted the power, which is why he resolutely exposed the Heavenly Palace’s scandal, trying to shake the Heavenly Demon’s faith in the human world.”

The Demon Emperor, as the ruler of Bega, could not openly oppose the Heavenly Palace because the Heavenly Demon's faith in Bega was too solid.

So, in this life-or-death battle, does the Demon Emperor have a chance to win?

Yes, as long as it can undermine or shake the foundation of faith in the gods.

Temples bear the offerings of incense from the human world and spread the grace of the gods. The chief messengers and divine messengers are the mouthpiece of the gods, and in important sacrifices, festivals, court assemblies and other significant occasions, they also convey divine words and bestow divine favors on behalf of the gods.

As the mouthpiece of God, God naturally enjoys a holy image and a transcendent status among humankind.

For four hundred years, the Heavenly Palace has remained independent of the Bega Royal Court, using divine grace to build a radiant, high-walled temple that blocks the prying and scrutinizing gazes of mortals.

As the images of numerous divine messengers collapsed with a deafening roar, several sections of the walls and the temple crumbled. The filth and depravity within the temple, no longer concealed, were suddenly exposed to the world.

At this point, the common people were caught off guard and were left dumbfounded as they watched the drama unfold day after day.

As the storm of public opinion intensifies, the world's criticism, guided by those with ulterior motives, naturally points towards the credibility of the Heavenly Palace.

If the gods are omniscient and omnipotent, why do they turn a blind eye and let their temples and servants do so many things that are outrageous to both gods and men?

This logic doesn't hold water for most people.

Is it that the gods are not omniscient, or that they simply do not care what their servants have done or what their believers have suffered?
Does this mean they simply don't care about the lives, honor, wealth, or suffering of their believers?
Either option is unacceptable to ordinary people.

The beliefs that people have held firmly since childhood are now beginning to crumble, leaving them bewildered.

If all the servants of God are like this, then what about the gods themselves?
Does the god truly love Beka? Will the god truly favor him?
At that moment, noises from outside Bega came in.

How proud the people of Bega were in the past!

Panlong said that the gods were demons from beyond the realm, who disguised themselves as gods.

Bega people: Bah! We are the chosen ones.

Panlong said that the gods instigated war and stole the nightmare energy from the human world.

Bekaa: Bah! You don't understand God's love for the world at all.

Rumors are rampant within Bega, and everyone on the streets is talking about it: Did you know that those servants and high-ranking officials also eat people and children? Some are sliced ​​and eaten raw, some are made into dipping sauces, and others are fried, stir-fried, or boiled. And what's more, they make placenta from infants, which is a medicinal ingredient for immortality!
Bega: Holy crap, this seems to be true!
Why did they believe it? Because Bega was originally a demon kingdom, and in various places, there were options for demons to eat people in the punishments, namely the so-called "beast devouring".

These rumors have simply changed the subject of cannibalism from monsters to servants of gods, and the victims from criminals to innocent infants. What's so strange about that?

It should be noted that some powerful demons in the country and the court would secretly eat people when they felt hungry.

Monsters eat people out of instinct, but it's horrifying to see humans eat each other.

"The first person to come up with such a rumor must know Beijia very well." He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up upon hearing the rumor.

"Sure enough, the big publicity work still has to be done by the locals."

Rumors, anger, suspicion, and schadenfreude, like wildfire, intensified under the instigation of covert forces.

There are still fanatics in Begari.

Even the fanatical believers still think this is a difficult test sent to them by God, and only the most steadfast believers can enter God's kingdom and gain eternal life. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and ordinary people, and how can they demonstrate their deep love for God?
But even if they argue heatedly with ordinary people, it cannot change the fact that the pure white of the gods' reputation has been stained with dark blemishes.

The grand and majestic image of the Heavenly Palace is facing disillusionment, like a soap bubble bursting.

Ordinary people make up the majority; they follow whichever way the wind blows.

The conflict, which erupted due to the scandal involving the servants of God and the dispute over faith, somehow suddenly escalated from a small point to a larger one, spreading rapidly throughout the entire country of Beka.

Furthermore, needless to say, the conflicts that erupted most frequently and were most concentrated within the Tiangong Party's territory were those within the Fan Yao region.

Physical altercations quickly escalated into life-or-death battles, small-scale quarrels soon turned into mass casualties, and temples and government buildings in many places were stormed and burned, with suspects and criminals being apprehended one after another.

Therefore, the mass incident quickly escalated into a national riot.

This shouldn't have happened; it all started because the servants of the gods hadn't concealed their true intentions and revealed their flaws. In the past, even the most shocking revelation wouldn't have caused a stir.

However, times have changed, and with the support of national forces behind the scenes, what was originally just a few small-time rioters flapping their wings is about to escalate into a massive riot that will sweep across the entire city of Bega!

The most exciting thing right now is Panlong.

When the Heavenly Demons first discovered the whereabouts of the Great Square Pot and when Bega began his invasion of the Panlong Wasteland, the people and soldiers of Panlong, though bravely resisting, were filled with anger and despair, unsure of where they could find a way to survive. In real history, this scenario did indeed play out two hundred years ago, ending in a tragic defeat for Panlong.

Today, although the war on the wasteland is more brutal and difficult, all soldiers and civilians know that every time the sun rises in the east, Bega becomes more chaotic and the enemy becomes weaker!
Dawn is just ahead; as long as Panlong perseveres to the end, it will be able to break through the final obstacle.

War is for the purpose of stopping war.

Fireworks even lit up the dark front lines of the wasteland—they were leftovers from He Lingchuan's last farewell to Fu Shanlie.

Zhong Shengguang couldn't help but call He Lingchuan to hear his predictions about the situation in Bega.

After all, this kid was the mastermind behind it all. He was the one who threw the "Heartbreak" formula to Fushanlie, and he was the one who started the great turmoil within Bega.

This fellow is a calamity, a harbinger of disaster, but fortunately it applies to Beka.

In Panlong and Zhong Shengguang's view, He Lingchuan was the one who was truly blessed.
