The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

As they spoke, the two of them laughed easily.

"That's true. The alliance with that small Holy Church was just to deceive the other churches and make them pay less attention to us."

"Hahaha, these idiots will probably never understand this until they die."

"Now we just have to see when Regulus's side ends. As long as he wipes out the Holy Church, we'll have fulfilled the divine decree and now possess the faith of a world!"

……

Baihua Village.

Shortly after Hino dealt with the Church of Light, the Pope of Life arrived near the Village of Flowers with a group of followers and Regulus, the God-given.

Those who were able to participate in this operation were all skilled members of the Church of Life.

They acted solely on the orders of the first pope, revealing only their healing abilities.

Aside from the knights of the church, most bishops are perceived as healers in public. Of course, there are also some unambitious figures like fat bishops.

In reality, besides healing and buffing, they can also use plant-based magic, making their attack power no weaker than that of the Elemental Church.

This simultaneous operation also shows that the success rate is higher when the Pope leads the team.

During the journey, Regulus reported that the aura of the God of Light had dissipated, which greatly surprised the Pope.

"Your Holiness, is there a problem with this?"

The Pope let out a soft exclamation. "This is somewhat different from my prediction. Logically, the light should have cooperated with the elements first to wipe away the darkness. But the light disappeared first."

One of the bishops joked, "Maybe that the one who descended from the God of Light said something wrong and got surrounded? He's a hot-blooded young man after all, and he just starts fighting whenever something happens. He has no sense of the bigger picture."

The Pope nodded. "That possibility cannot be ruled out. The situation over there is still too volatile. Hopefully, they can seize the opportunity and complete the divine decree's instructions."

Regulus said confidently, "Your Holiness, please rest assured. The seniors are very capable; they might already be cleaning up the mess!"

"I hope so."

Suddenly, the bishop who was leading the way stopped.

The Pope asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Has something happened up ahead?"

The bishop who was leading the way turned to look at the group, his expression strange, as if he had witnessed a great horror.

"We seem to have come to the wrong place..."

The Pope said unhappily, "What the hell? Are you still half asleep? You can't even lead the way properly. I think you don't want to work here anymore!"

The bishop quickly explained, "No, no, the way I led you should be fine, but it seems there's something wrong with our destination..."

"what is the problem?"

The bishop moved aside so that the pope could see the tall buildings in the distance.

The Pope was immediately stunned by the building not far away, and asked in surprise, "What is that?"

"It's just an ordinary building, what's all the fuss about?"

A young voice rang out, immediately provoking dissatisfaction among the crowd.

"Who is it? Is it your turn to speak now?"

"What do you mean by making a fuss? Where have you seen this kind of building before?"

The Pope was also very displeased with such disparaging remarks about his own people, but considering that such a young voice was most likely that of Regulus, the divine being, he spoke in a gentle tone: "Regulus..."

"What do you want with me, Your Holiness?"

Hearing the response coming from behind him, the Pope was taken aback at first, then realized something was wrong.

He looked at Regulus and asked, "Was it you who spoke?"

Regulus said blankly, "I didn't say anything, and that voice seems somewhat familiar..."

Just as the group was frantically searching for the source of the sound, the voice rang out again: "No need to look anymore, your naivety is truly laughable."

The Pope looked around but couldn't find the person who had spoken.

He asked solemnly, "Who exactly are you? What kind of skill is it to hide like this? Do you dare to come out and speak?"

In the shadows, the owner of the voice finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. On the screen opposite him were the members of the Church of Life.

"Although your requests aren't unreasonable, I'm still too lazy to come to you directly. Therefore, I've decided that you can practice with my people for a while before I show up, until I do."

The bishop retorted indignantly, "Arrogant! Don't let me see this man again, or I'll make sure he tastes the whip!"

"He's utterly arrogant! His words are incoherent, and he talks about his people. We haven't seen a single one along the way. Our current position, while not perfect, isn't one that can be easily discovered!"

"This person is definitely nearby. Saying they're too lazy to come out is just a lie!"

pope:……

As the leader of the Church of Life, he didn't want to admit that his actions had been exposed, but his subordinates were blindly confident. If he said anything discouraging at this time, the team would be difficult to lead.

Just as the Church of Life was filled with righteous indignation and ready to unleash their full power to tear the person who had just uttered those arrogant words to shreds, the voice of a young, somewhat immature boy gradually drifted from afar.

"Why do you think the teacher asked us to come here?"

"Didn't the teacher say that there were people here asking us to test their newly researched weapons? I guess they're some kind of bad guys like bandits."

"I don't care about bad guys, I just want to know why the teacher let the two of you come along?"

Thor and Nord walked together, while Dinan and Pusi were some distance away from them.

After they completed their initiation ceremony in Baihua Village, Xinuo sent them to Li Xuan's side, treating them like used tools, devoid of any emotion.

Li Xuan was busy building the town at the time, so he naturally welcomed all who came.

He had absolutely no reason to refuse high-end laborers like Dinan and Pusi.

After the two entered the town, he exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then directly arranged for them to participate in the project.

They also contributed to the construction of the town's high-rise buildings.

Because it was unpaid labor, and the houses they built were sold below market price, they accumulated a great deal of merit.

Of course, as the mastermind behind everything, Li Xuan received the greatest merit.

Through his design, the entire town has become completely self-sufficient, requiring only the labor of a small number of people to produce the food needed by the whole town.

The town's residents' basic needs were largely met, allowing them more time to enjoy life and practice the doctrines.

Pusi proudly raised his head and chuckled, "You rascal, Li Xuan sent us along to protect you two weaklings, of course. What else could it be?"

Dinan cleared his throat and explained, "Everyone, there's no need for us to argue. Li Xuan summoned us here because he must have someone who wants to oppose the Holy Church. We share the same goal now, and if we let our suspicions affect each other, Li Xuan's plan could very well fail."

"This is a situation that no one wants to see."

The four people walked out of the shadows while talking.
