I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Priest Sikong's conspiracy came faster than expected.

As soon as Baona's team gained a foothold in the new area, all kinds of rumors came like a tide and spread rapidly among the people in the new area.

The new faith was portrayed as a monstrous monster that would devour their traditions and destroy their lives.

The people who were originally curious about the new faith began to show doubts on their faces, whispering to each other.

The originally warm atmosphere seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, becoming dull and depressing.

Baona was keenly aware of the uneasiness in the air, and her heart sank, knowing that she had to take action immediately.

Before she could take any action, the figure of Priest Sikong suddenly appeared at the promotion site.

He was dressed in gorgeous priest robes, standing out in the crowd like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

He walked up to Baona arrogantly, with disdain in his eyes, as if he was looking at a clown.

"Baona, you are misleading people and spreading heresy. Do you know your crime?" His voice was loud and echoed among the crowd with unquestionable majesty.

Baona met his gaze fearlessly and spoke loudly, "Master Priest, I preach peace and hope. How can that be considered heresy? Are you afraid of the people awakening and the loss of your power?"

Priest Sikong sneered, "Power? I am a priest of the Dian Kingdom, and I protect the Dian Kingdom's beliefs and traditions! You are an outsider, what qualifications do you have to point fingers here?"

"Outsiders?" Bao Na raised her voice. "Priest, have you forgotten that we are all subjects of the Queen? Everything I do is for the future of Dian and the well-being of all the people!"

The two of them were at loggerheads, neither of them giving in, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

The people around held their breath, as if the air had frozen.

The Sikong priest suddenly approached Baona and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Queen's support? I tell you, the faith of the Dian Kingdom cannot be shaken by you!" After he finished speaking, he turned abruptly, facing the crowd, raised his hands high, and loudly announced, "In three days, I will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony here to show everyone who is the true believer!"

After Priest Sikong left, the crowd was talking like a pot of boiling water.

Baona felt that the gazes from those around her were no longer filled with curiosity and expectation, but were instead mixed with suspicion, scrutiny, and even hostility.

The believers of Zhuansun, who were originally active supporters of the new faith, were now standing in the crowd, their eyes flickering, their brows furrowed, and they were rubbing their hands nervously.

Baona's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.

At this moment, a deep voice came from the crowd: "Everyone, please be patient and listen to what I have to say!" The religious scholar Sikou separated the crowd and slowly walked to Baona.

He has white hair and a youthful face, and is dressed in a simple scholar's robe, but he exudes an awe-inspiring aura.

"What Priest Sikong said is nothing but quoting out of context and distorting the facts!" He looked around at everyone, his eyes as sharp as a torch. "The new faith is not meant to subvert tradition, but to inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Dian Kingdom, making our faith purer and more powerful!"

The religious scholar Sikou spoke eloquently and cited extensively, from the historical origins of the ancient Dian Kingdom to the core concepts of the new faith. His words were like a spring breeze, nourishing the hearts of everyone present.

Sometimes he spoke in a high-pitched and passionate voice, sometimes in a low and gentle voice. Every word he said was powerful and every look was full of power.

Even the theologian Duanmu, who had originally looked skeptical, nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Gradually, the crowd quieted down, their originally puzzled eyes gradually became clear, and their originally tense faces gradually relaxed.

The Zhuansun believer's originally furrowed brows relaxed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Baona regained his previous firmness.

The stone in Baona's heart finally fell to the ground, and a warm current surged through her body.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and someone shouted: "The Queen has arrived!"...

The crowd automatically made way for a passage, and the Queen of Ancient Dian walked slowly in, surrounded by her maids.

She was dressed in a gorgeous golden robe and a jewel-studded crown on her head. She was noble and elegant, like a goddess descended from heaven.

Thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone was excited about the Queen's arrival.

The queen walked up to Baona, gently held her hand, and looked at her affectionately, her eyes full of trust and encouragement.

At that moment, Baona's heart was filled with warmth, as if all the pressure had disappeared.

"My people," the Queen's voice was clear and melodious, echoing throughout the square, "I have come here today to support Baona and the new hope she brings to the Kingdom of Dian!"

The crowd was boiling again, with cheers rising one after another.

With the Queen's support, Bona began her speech more confidently.

She used passionate language to talk about the concept of new faith and paint a beautiful vision for the future.

The people listened with rapt attention.

Priest Sikong stood behind the crowd, his face ashen.

He originally thought that he could easily destroy Baona's efforts by taking advantage of the people's fear and conservatism.

Unexpectedly, the Queen personally came out to support her, which completely disrupted his plan.

The Sikou religious scholar walked up to the Sikong priest and whispered, "Master Priest, what should we do now?"

Priest Sikong had a gloomy face and said nothing.

He gripped the scepter tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.

Theologian Duanmu also came over, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone: "The Queen's support is very disadvantageous to us. We must find a way to reverse the situation."

Priest Sikong suddenly raised his head, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Since the Queen has chosen to stand on their side, don't blame us for being rude!" He paused, his tone icy, "Pass the order down and summon all the priests. We will hold a meeting in the secret room at midnight tonight!"
