The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"Enough, Pusi! You know my personality. If you keep demanding this, it will only end up with both of us hurting each other!"

"Besides, now that I've come this far, if I don't go in, wouldn't all our efforts have been wasted?"

Knowing he couldn't persuade her anymore, Pusi finally gave in: "Fine, but I have to stay with you. At least to make sure you don't get bullied here!"

After the two entered the village, they attracted a lot of attention, mostly from the villagers of Hundred Flowers Village.

Because of Xinuo's strong insistence, no one from the town has come to Baihua Village to be baptized for a long time.

Most of the visitors were migrants passing by; they would glance at the place at most before being taken to the town.

To some extent, Baihua Village has formed a different class from the town, except that the people in the village are at the top of the discrimination chain.

"Look, two more people have arrived."

"What's so strange about that? Haven't we had few people coming here lately?"

Should we tell them directly?

"Have you finished your task? Why are you meddling in such trivial matters? Have you not repaid the village chief's kindness?"

Dinan had originally intended to ask a local for directions, but seeing that everyone here seemed very busy, he ultimately decided not to speak.

They could only walk towards the center of the village together with Pusi.

The church over there was very conspicuous and was clearly their destination.

Along the way, Pusi looked at the villagers who were curious but dared not approach and couldn't help but sigh, "They said that even though we hadn't washed ourselves in time because of the long journey, we didn't have to look at us like we were rare animals."

Dinan, being about to join this side, didn't feel much of this scrutinizing gaze.

"Alright, Pusi. We're outsiders after all, so it's normal that they look at me strangely. It'll be fine once I join them."

"Dinan, what if they discriminate against you after you join? Maybe we should just use mine..."

Dinan firmly shook his head in denial: "Let's not bring this up again, and besides, we..."

"What do you two want in Hundred Flowers Village?"

A woman's voice suddenly interrupted their argument.

As the two turned their heads, a graceful woman appeared before them.

Dinan was unaware of when the woman had appeared before him. Out of respect, he explained, "My name is Dinan, and this is my friend Pusi. We came here under Li Xuan's guidance; he said I was qualified to join the Holy Church."

It was that guy again who caused this mess.

Xinuo frowned slightly. She clearly remembered that she had already explained the situation to Li Xuan and that she was not allowed to be disturbed recently.

"you……"

Xinuo was about to tell the two to go to town to find Li Xuan, but suddenly stopped talking and stared intently at Puxi.

Dinan was speechless. He had come with a recommendation, but the people here were focusing on Pusi.

Hino's expression shifted from scrutiny to surprise, and she asked, "So, Li Xuan recommended you to come?"

Pusi waved his hand in denial: "It wasn't me, it was my good brother, Dinan. Why don't you listen to others?"

Dinan gave an awkward smile and nodded at Hino.

"That's right, I'm the one who got the recommendation."

Hino didn't seem to care about this. She casually said, "It doesn't matter. You two come with me. I'll help you arrange your baptisms for joining the church."

Pusi asked doubtfully, "I have to go too? Can I not go?"

Hino retorted, "Do you think you can just leave as easily as you came here?"

Dinan was a little embarrassed. Pusi was only supposed to be escorting him, but he didn't expect to be counted as one of them.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Li Xuan has quite a lot of influence.

Pusi clearly did not want to join the Holy Church, but after an internal struggle, he ultimately chose to comply.

Led by Hino, the group quickly entered the church.

Dinan immediately looked towards the front of the church, but the end was empty. There were no sculptures of gods, no crosses or other religious objects, only a small pulpit.

Pusi asked in confusion, "Does your church not even have a god? I remember that the Church of War has a pure gold statue in its church, which is said to require dozens of knights to move."

At this point, Xinuo also seemed a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, she established the church using items from the Main God Space. According to the item's description, it should include a 24K pure gold statue of faith.

She hadn't paid attention to such a small matter until now, after Pusi's reminder, she realized that she seemed to have been tricked by the Main God Space.

Although she was furious, Xinuo immediately put the small problem out of her mind when she thought about what was about to happen.

"Okay, don't worry about such trivial details."

Pusi: "There aren't even any sculptures of the gods we worship! In any church, this would be a capital offense, you bastard! Dinan, are you sure you want to stay?"

Dinan said firmly, "We're already here! If we don't give it a try, wouldn't all our previous efforts have been wasted?"

Pusi was quite helpless. The church in front of him was already so unreliable, yet his best friend was still so stubborn. He really didn't know what Li Xuan had done to Dinan while he was away.

Hino pointed to the confessional next to him and said to Dinan, "Alright, you go in first, confess the bad things you've done, and then prove to God your determination to join the church. If you pass, you can become a believer in the church."

Dinan said in surprise, "It's that simple? I remember that joining the Church of War required paying extra gold coins and going through layers of screening and competition."

Hino urged, "The Holy Church was founded for the people, not for oppression and exploitation. You will naturally learn the specific doctrines once you become a true believer."

"Space in the confessional is limited, so your friend will be waiting outside. By the way, a friendly reminder: the longer you stay in the confessional, the more likely you are to attract the attention of the gods."

And so Dinan was taken to the confessional.

As the confessional door closed, Dinan found that the sounds outside seemed to be completely cut off.

The confessional is not a large space; it contains only a chair and a wooden board placed across the front of the chair.

But for some reason, the simple arrangement gave Dinan a sense of sacredness, as if these things had a terrifying, unknown origin.

outside.

Suddenly, the divine spirit within Pusi issued a warning, telling him to be careful of the woman behind him.

Before anyone knew it, Hino had appeared behind Pusi.

He turned around in surprise, simultaneously creating distance between them.

"What are you going to do? Although I don't like hitting women, I won't follow my principles when necessary!"

Hino chuckled softly, "Let Him come out. You're not qualified to talk to me."

This arrogant attitude made Pusi very uncomfortable. "Arrogant! Don't think that just because you have a relationship with Li Xuan, I won't dare to touch you!"

"Alright, Pusi, this guy is definitely not someone you can handle right now. Let me handle him."

A faint voice seemed to come from all directions, but Pusi knew that the owner of this voice was the divine soul residing in his body.

If it weren't for this divine soul, he might have already been refined by the great formation and become resources for the growth of others.

A pure white soul slowly emerged from the top of Pusi's head, its white light illuminating every corner of the church.

Hino narrowed her eyes and curled up her lips. "If I'm not mistaken, you must be an angel under the throne of the Supreme God."

"Oh, it should be a fragment of an angel's soul. After all, even angels are extremely rare, and it's impossible for them to be responsible for only a tiny, insignificant world."

[Reincarnator, you've overstepped your bounds! This is not something you can interfere with.]

The angel's fragmented soul spoke in a calm tone, yet every word He uttered seemed to be filled with power, inspiring awe and reverence.

Hino smiled slightly, as if she didn't take the angel seriously at all.

"If I had crossed the line, the rules of the Main God Space would naturally punish me. But I'm perfectly fine right now, so what makes you think I've crossed the line?"

"Not to mention that you are now just a fragment of an angel's soul. If you displease me, you should know that reincarnators will not hesitate to trip you up in any way."

The angel's divided soul remained silent for a long time. "What do you want?"

The compromise of the split soul further confirmed Xinuo's suspicions. She smiled and said, "What I want, you can't give me."

Don't push your luck. If it weren't for the rules, you wouldn't even be qualified to stand in front of me!

"My angel, you think too highly of me. Without the rules, I wouldn't have had this opportunity to advance further!"

What are you going to do?

"You should know very well that for a reincarnator to become stronger, besides completing the world's missions, they must also explore the world's storyline. Your appearance represents the main plot of this world!"

As she spoke, Xinuo's face flushed.

Although the current situation has exceeded her expectations, it doesn't matter, because she will gain more benefits from this unexpected event.

In other words, she will also incorporate the angel's fragmented soul into her script.

The mere thought of such a script, beyond one's own control, excites Hino immensely.

What do you mean? Are you trying to interfere with my mission?

Hino smiled confidently: "Your Grace, if I'm not mistaken, you must be the last resort of the Church of War, right?"

"As for this local, he is the last ember of the Church of War, or you could say his last struggle."

[That's right, this kind of thing is obvious with just a little thought. So, tell me, what exactly do you want?]

Hino smiled slightly: "Although I have been staying here recently, I am very familiar with the situation on the battlefield. The Dark Church gained the opportunity to contend with the Elemental Church by betraying the Church of Light."

[Hmph! I'm not surprised at all that those rats in the gutter of the Dark Church would do something like this. But they couldn't have done it on their own; I bet those sissies from the Church of Life were involved too.]
