The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Baili Muyun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly denied it: "How could that be! Aren't we talking about the same issue?"

Li Xuan's figure kept moving along the road as he asked with a smile, "Oh? We have such a good relationship, you can't even fulfill such a simple little request?"

Baili Muyun complained, "This is hardly a small request! Even Zhou Bapi wasn't this ruthless!"

"Relax, relax. After all, I risked my life to help you overthrow the statue of the god. If you're so capable, you can try to push it yourself! I remember the beetle is quite strong. Maybe if you just give it a fulcrum, you can lift the whole statue?"

Baili Muyun retorted, "I haven't added any points to my strength in my current state. You are the main force. I've only added some points to my running ability, and I can only run by myself."

Li Xuan had anticipated this, and said in a seductive tone, "That's right, we're in a deep cooperative relationship now. Anyway, it's just a few insignificant pieces of information. What's wrong with you reporting more to your superiors or even having your main body answer without limit? Just complete the current task, right?"

"No! Even though I'm just an avatar, I still have professional ethics. I can't let you set arbitrary prices!"

"Really? You said yourself that you're just an avatar, and all you need to do is complete the tasks assigned by your main body. The rest is just a matter of wrangling between your main body and me, what does it have to do with you?"

Baili Muyun swallowed hard, a clear wave of temptation washing over him: "No, no! My interests are aligned with the interests of my main body! If I agree, it would violate my principles. Besides, if my main body found out, it would definitely reprimand me!"

"You said it yourself, the current situation in this world is that you can only enter, not leave. Your original body can't control you right now. Think about it, if the battle here ends, you won't be able to complete the tasks assigned by your original body. Don't you have an answer in your heart about what's more important?"

Baili Muyun hesitated, for Li Xuan's threat had struck at his weak point.

As an avatar, its purpose in being born is to complete the mission of the original body, and all actions should prioritize the interests of the original body.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Xuan immediately began to apply pressure: "You say no, but your body language is quite honest."

"I didn't!" Baili Muyun retorted instinctively.

"Really not? If you really want to stick to your so-called principles, why don't you just say something to refute my suggestion? Admit it, deep down you've actually wanted to do this for a long time!"

Baili Muyun: "..."

For some reason, he always felt the presence of a minotaur in the vicinity.

"We're almost there! If we don't make a decision soon, it'll be too late!"

Baili Muyun took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "I understand! I will explain this deal to the main body!"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? After all, I'm risking my life to help you!"

After some time, Li Xuan successfully infiltrated the Church of Light using his disguise.

A magnificent statue of the God of Light stands prominently in the center of the church.

Li Xuan whispered, "As expected of the God of Light, the material of this statue doesn't seem to be ordinary gold. The feel of it is completely different."

Baili Muyun explained, "Generally speaking, there is a mysterious connection between the statues of gods and their real bodies. This allows them to receive the power of faith generated by believers and even occasionally see the requests of believers."

"But none of that matters, let's get started. I feel like the battle here is about to end."

Li Xuan was busy preparing. "Don't rush me. We definitely need to take safety precautions for this kind of thing. Even if we are discovered, I can still find a way to survive."

"Didn't I say I also have a backup plan? If things go wrong, I can definitely help you out."

"I will not entrust my life to other people. Only when I am confident in my own abilities can I do things smoothly."

As he spoke, Li Xuan had already arranged all the means that could be used, and then placed his hand on the statue.

The golden beetle quickly detached from Li Xuan's shoulder and flew in the air, watching Li Xuan's dangerous actions.

Li Xuan, who was working hard, noticed Baili Muyun's actions: "..."

Although Baili Muyun's location wouldn't affect him, this feeling of mutual distrust still made him uncomfortable.

Why did you fly away?

"I'm afraid it will affect your work! Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's knock it down quickly so we can move on to the next task."

Considering that the longer it dragged on, the easier it would be to be discovered, Li Xuan immediately exerted all his strength to envelop the entire statue, and then gave it a sudden push.

"Hey!"

Under Li Xuan's push, the statue of the God of Light slowly tilted forward until it collapsed with a crash after tilting to a certain angle.

Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps echoed outside the church.

"what happened?"

"Is there a thief attacking?"

"Damn it! It's a church! Quick, block all the doors and windows!"

"one two Three!"

boom!

The church doors were smashed open, and the toppled statue of the god lay sprawled on the ground, with not a soul in sight.

A cardinal in a cardinal robe emerged from the crowd, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

He immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Seal off the entire church! The prisoner couldn't have escaped in such a short time! Hurry!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the people around sprang into action, surrounding the church at an incredible speed. The entire church was so tightly sealed that not even a fly could escape.

The cardinal knelt before the fallen statue of God and wept uncontrollably.

"Great and merciful Lord, please forgive us sinners for failing in our responsibility to safeguard Your incarnation on earth. Great and merciful Lord..."

Almost everyone was busy when a very young believer walked up to the cardinal. There was no fear or respect in his eyes.

Even standing in front of the fallen statue of the god, he showed no emotional fluctuation.

He asked, "Teacher, are you praying for divine forgiveness right now? Finding the culprit shouldn't be the priority; that's the most important thing. Your abilities..."

The cardinal immediately shouted sternly, "Ignorance! How many times have I told you, our existence is for the purpose of worshipping God; this is our life's duty!"

“The thief who did such a thing is certainly hateful, but the gods have been insulted because of our failure to protect them. Our sins are even greater than those of the thief.”

Even though the person in front of him was his teacher, and even though he had been instilled with faith in gods since childhood, in the perception of young believers, although gods exist, it has always been other beings who have answered their prayers.

Or rather, they are beings below the gods, and both they and that being are under the command of the gods.

Even from the moment the Church of War began to provoke other churches, their prayers were never answered; they could only passively accept the commands of that being.

However, according to the young man's speculation, that being roughly represented the meaning of a deity.
