Chapter 380 - 337: Sun’s Rays Purge Filth, Sun’s Radiance Is Eternal

In the eyes of the Sun God Sect, filth and evil meant only one thing.

The Dream Eye.

And now, Hu Qi had just declared his intention to eliminate all Dream Eyes.

Naturally, the Dream Masters who controlled the Dream Eyes were also included.

To the side, Wuan Anning’s brow furrowed slightly.

However, she said nothing. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to pray.

The greatest advantage the Divine Favored held over ordinary believers was the ability to actively contact their god.

Under normal circumstances, the god would always grant a response.

’Although it’s impossible for him, as the Saint Son, to spread a false Oracle, this matter is too important. I still have to confirm it.’

"Saint Son, might this be somewhat improper?"

Just then, a voice spoke up.

It was the same young man from before.

His brow furrowed as he spoke in a low, serious voice.

"The Dream Masters’ methods are strange and unpredictable. We have no absolute guarantee of success.

Besides, acting now could cause significant turmoil. I do not believe the time is right..."

Hu Qi looked at the man.

Information about him instantly surfaced in Hu Qi’s mind.

His name was Luo Yan. Among the twelve Holy Radiance Bishops, he was the youngest and the one with the most potential.

He seemed poised to become the leader of the Holy Radiance Bishops.

However, in Hu Qi’s eyes, the man possessed only a petty cleverness.

’He doesn’t even realize he’s being used as a pawn. Or perhaps he does, and is simply too arrogant.’

Among the twelve Bishops, there was no shortage of those more powerful than him.

But those individuals were typically extremely low-key.

He saw that the other Holy Radiance Bishops around him, though they likely felt the same, remained silent.

Not one of them had opened their mouth to question anything.

"Rest assured. I will personally handle the upper echelons of the Dream Masters to ensure our success is absolute,"

Hu Qi said.

"But..."

Hearing Hu Qi’s words, Luo Yan frowned, still wanting to say more.

But before he could even open his mouth, his expression changed drastically.

A vast, terrifying pressure had suddenly descended, enveloping him completely.

He had no strength to resist. His knees buckled, and he fell directly to the ground.

The Holy Power within his body fell silent, not stirring in the slightest.

"You question me again and again. Are you, perhaps, questioning the Oracle of my Lord?"

Hu Qi’s gaze was ice-cold.

He looked down from on high.

The corona of light behind him seemed to grow even more dazzling, as if it had solidified into a physical halo.

At this sight, the faces of the others paled. Their legs grew weak, and they were overcome with the urge to kneel and repent.

In their hearts, they were all cursing Luo Yan and his entire family.

’This fool has no sense at all.’

’It’s one thing for him to court death, but he’d better not drag us down with him.’

At the same time, they were also shocked by Hu Qi’s strength.

’Such power... it seems to even surpass that of the Saintess.’

"Lord Saint Son, you misunderstand! Luo Yan had no such intention!"

Luo Yan said through gritted teeth.

"Luo Yan was merely overthinking things. He didn’t mean it that way. Saint Son, please don’t take it to heart."

At this moment,

Wuan Anning opened her eyes.

Sensing the aura emanating from Hu Qi, her expression turned extremely grave.

It was the aura of divine favor.

Its intensity far surpassed her own.

’A flash of shock went through me.’

However, she quickly composed herself.

"This is the will of the great Sun God. We shall, of course, carry it out. The Sun’s Rays Purge the Profane, the Sun’s Glory Is Eternal!"

"The Sun’s Rays Purge the Profane, the Sun’s Glory Is Eternal!"

The other Holy Radiance Bishops echoed in low voices.

Upon hearing this,

Hu Qi glanced at her.

The pressure emanating from him receded.

’Luo Yan could not have become a Holy Radiance Bishop without being at least a High-Level Believer, so his loyalty to the Sun God should be beyond question.’

’However, he also has his own selfish motives. The main reason for what he just said is that he refuses to submit. He refuses to submit to me.’

And Hu Qi had no intention of indulging such behavior.

Luo Yan, his face pale, rose to his feet and bowed deeply to Hu Qi.

"Thank you, Lord Saint Son, for showing mercy."

Just then,

Hu Qi’s expression flickered.

He had received a message from his Divine Avatar.

Luo Yan’s faith was wavering.

He was on the verge of dropping from the rank of High-Level Believer.

This could only mean one thing: in his heart, he remained defiant. He felt the Sun God had been unjust and had perhaps even begun to harbor a sliver of resentment toward the Sun God himself.

This was one of the drawbacks of the divine Extraordinary Path.

A god’s power comes from their believers. In other words, the same water that bears the boat can also capsize it.

The faith of believers is not set in stone.

This was especially true for Basic Level Believers, whose faith was shallow. Any external pressure could cause them to switch their allegiance or abandon their faith altogether.

Intermediate and High-Level Believers, on the other hand, were relatively more stable.

However, the possibility of them abandoning their faith still existed, however small.

Among all believers, only one type would never—could never—betray their god: the Fanatic.

’But Luo Yan is a High-Level Believer and a Holy Radiance Bishop. Logically, his faith should be firm. Even if it were to decline, it shouldn’t have plummeted so drastically.’

’And yet, his faith is this unstable.’

At that moment,

Luo Yan seemed to sense the abundant Holy Power within him beginning to diminish, and his heart lurched in shock.

He understood what was happening almost instantly.

Panic seized him.

He frantically suppressed the inappropriate thoughts rising in his mind.

’If my faith falls, I will lose everything I currently possess.’

’That is an outcome I absolutely cannot accept.’

Afterward, the group resumed the meeting they had prepared.

It was meant to be a general summary of the Sun God Sect’s affairs.

However, because of the Oracle,

they only touched upon these topics briefly.

They then launched into an in-depth discussion regarding the matter of the purge.
