A new name was inscribed on the Yao City monument.
“Haimila: Yao Cheng’s first legendary prophet, who wrote the Gospel of the Divine, led Yao Cheng in spreading the belief in the Divine to the outside world, and accomplished a pilgrimage that had never been done before. She represents courage and perseverance, and is a model for all future generations.”
People gathered around the monument to pay tribute to the legendary prophet.
In Yao City, everyone wears cotton in honour of Hemila’s passing.
It’s just that life must go on.
It didn’t take long for Yao City to return to its usual order.
A new alert appeared on the screen.
— A believer has mastered theology, is it necessary to convert her into a prophet?
[Yes] [No]
Lu Yao put away his despondency.
Three generations of prophets appearing can be so fast, it’s really a new generation.
He immediately clicked yes and switched to the divine temple perspective.
In the divine temple, there was an additional scorpion-tailed female villain holding the Gospel, now 30 years old.

Lu Yao had a question mark on his face.
What’s going on here!
Pill Spoon was not a good hero, but actually changed her job to become a Prophet.
She has a bunch of skills that highlight a wide net of rain and dew, and she knows a little bit of everything.
However, since the other party had filled out the volunteer position of Prophet, Lu Yao also respected the individual’s choice.
With the death of Hemila, Yao City did have a gap in the Prophet.
Pill Spoon knelt in front of the idol and said, “Lord Yao God, I was once a pharmacist who wanted to heal the sick. However, the citizens in YC do not believe in pharmacists.”
“Medicines are always in very short supply, and there aren’t many illnesses that can be cured.”
“That’s why people think that medicine men are of little use and are more like charlatans. Many people think that praying and worshipping the Shrine Club is the cure.”
“I think that if I can study theology at the seminary and combine it with herbal healing, I should be able to help more people.”
“Divine Lord, this is my truest thought.”
“I know, it is indeed silly, but I want to try ……”
“Prophet Hemila was my theology teacher, and she told me that I must persevere, and encouraged me that this might be a new future for medicine men.”
“Before the pilgrimage, my teacher asked someone to inform me that she hoped I could come to Yao City and continue to refine and enrich theology.”
“Teacher’s pilgrimage allowed me to feel the immensity and fervour of the power of faith. This power dispels disease and suspicion, fills people with fighting spirit and cohesion, and can save very many people.”
“Lord God, I will do my best to become a qualified Prophet!”
Her confession allowed Lu Yao to figure out what was going on.
Broadly speaking, it was that studying medicine couldn’t save the sick, so Medicine Spoon was going to become a prophet and use theology to save the world.
Lu Yao overlooked Salt City, observing Medicine Spoon’s every move.
There was no stage fright in this heir of Hemera, and after establishing her status as a prophet, she made a series of changes to Yao City.
Medicine Spoon began by easing the city’s various strict ordinances.
Drinking alcohol was no longer strictly forbidden.
Pilgrimage to the shrine was also no longer a mandatory daily ritual.
The seminary allowed commoners and outsiders to enter and study.
The ale theatre increased its opening hours.
She added several new measures.
The Divine Academy openly recruited apprentices from the outside world, these apprentices needed to pay a certain amount of sea shells to further their studies, and ultimately passed the Divine Academy exams to be recognised scholars in Yao City.
The Temple Army of the past was officially renamed the [Temple Guild], from now on it was no longer just a force to defend the Temple.
The Temple Guild is mainly theological scholars, and their duties include researching and spreading the beliefs of the Yao God, protecting and worshipping the temple, and managing the holy city. In a nutshell, the Temple Guild is a ruling group of the city formed around the temple and the beliefs of the gods.
Pilgrims are encouraged to donate sea shells, the city of Yao requires expenses to maintain order and preserve the sanctity of the temple, and the Prophet will lead the Pantheon Guild in regularly solving puzzles and explaining theology to the faithful.
Lu Yao was also a bit surprised when he saw one of Pill Spoon’s policies fall into place.
This Third Generation Prophet was not very old, but his vigour was not small, a little bit of that aura of reforms that Fishing Away had back then.
Yao City quickly adapted to the new order after a short period of turmoil and questioning.
The most crucial thing was that the city’s resource depletion caused by the previous large-scale foreign cultural export was being rapidly recovered economically under a series of operations by Pill Spoon.
The Temple Society officially took over the rule of the city, and also sent out some of its scholars in Salt City and Saniro, maintaining close ties with the other two cities.
Haimila’s death and Pill Spoon’s debut also symbolised Yao City stepping into a brand new path.
While Yao City was rapidly developing, a major incident occurred next door in Salt City.
Heretical groups were bubbling up in the city.
There was a small group of people who believed in an evil god called [White God]. Since the [White God] believers were still small, Lu Yao couldn’t sense a change in the belief bar, but this was extremely bad in nature.
Commander Saltgale captured five Evil God believers.
They were all locked up in a stone house under the lighthouse, with hounds laid out around them. If there was any breeze, the hounds would be the first to bark in warning.
Lu Yao paid extreme attention.
Other than the very beginning, this was the first time that other gods had infiltrated their territory.
But the weird thing was that this evil god didn’t have an exact altar or idol, the [White God] was more like a legend passed down by word of mouth.
Sellers drove the [Skeleton King Armadillo] all over the Eastern Continent and did not find anything suspicious about it.
The Lords of the Deep cruised across the seas and oceans and didn’t find any stone statues or temples either.
Isabelle mounted her wand and flew over the entire world, still finding nothing.
Lu Yao was a bit puzzled.
The sea, land, and air were nowhere to be found, so this [White God] couldn’t be a fake, could it?
The little people made up an evil god?
He ordered Isabel to interrogate the cultists.
Isabel quickly gave feedback.
“My lord, they haven’t seen the idol of the [White God], they all heard about it from other people. It says that as long as they worship the White God, meditate on the White God’s name in their hearts, and offer their faith, they will receive the White God’s gifts.”
“The White God would give them gems and pearls.”
“So they believe in the White God.”
This reason for faith was sufficient.
Lu Yao came to be interested in the identity of the [White God].
Isabel continued, “According to them, the first believer who spread the faith of the [White God] was called Salt Long. However, Salt Long has been missing for a long time, and they don’t know where they can find him.”
Salt Long.
Lu Yao suddenly remembered.
Wasn’t it the oldest of those three children from the [Salt Clan]?
The last time he saw Salt Long, Salt Long was only eight years old, and now he shouldn’t be too young.
Others didn’t know, but Lu Yao, a god, could see it clearly. Salt Long’s father was the Salt City Commander, [Corrupted Guard] Salt Gale – he was suspected of being an overseer.
Facing the Apostle’s questioning, an expression of fear floated above Salt Gale’s head.
“Apostle-sama, I don’t know why this is so …… Saltcourt followed the ship out to sea when he was thirteen years old.”
“That ship sank into the deep northern sea without a single survivor.”
The commander of Salt Castle said warily, “Not long ago, the merchants of the city said that a few islanders had brought gems to sell, and the leading one of them called himself Saltcue. I thought it was just a coincidence.”
“I didn’t expect to see the person before I sensed that it was indeed him.”
“But Shiohisa completely refused to tell me what had happened in the past twenty years.”
“Then I realised that they used the gems to tempt the citizens and secretly spread the belief in evil gods in the city ……”
[White God] seems to exist.
The sea and land had been searched repeatedly so many times that there was no way to hide it.
Then was it possible that the [White God] lair was under the sea?
Lu Yao was a bit eager to try.
Finally, a new player had refreshed!
