Chapter 753 - 345: Blood Demon Bra: Family! Please Take Me Away!

The surveillance of outsiders in the Holy City of Light was surprisingly relaxed.

Lu Wenwu didn’t even bother to disguise himself, nor was he subjected to any checks; he just openly followed the group entering the city.

This is extremely rare in this era, especially as it’s nearing a period of upcoming turmoil.

It’s unclear whether the Holy Light Court simply didn’t have such awareness or felt that their stronghold was so invincible that there was no need for entry checks.

As for economic development...

If it were in other cities, there might be a slight chance of that.

But in the Holy City of the Holy Light Court, it sounds quite absurd.

Throughout history, religion has always been the best tool for brainwashing.

As the earthly kingdom of the God of Light, what kind of economic development does the Holy City of Light need?

Siphoning off believers worldwide would suffice, wouldn’t it?

Oh, my apologies.

They call it self-sacrifice, an expression of respect and faith toward the gods.

Indeed, the Church of Light hasn’t developed things like Redemption Scrolls or Enlightenment Spiritual Artifacts for massive profiteering.

And those so-called Holy Waters, Light Crosses, and similar alchemy tools are genuinely effective, not deceptive trinkets.

However, this doesn’t mean the Church of Light is entirely virtuous.

The fact is, such measures aren’t necessary at all.

The fanatical believers will willingly devote everything they possess to the Gods of Light, even if they go hungry, are left without clothes, or end up on the streets.

In such circumstances, the Church of Light indeed has no need to continue extracting wealth through other means.

They earn all the money just by standing there.

Walking in the Holy City of Light, Lu Wenwu recalled entering the [Endless Reincarnation] instance when he was still somewhat feeble.

What was it called again... Which Demon God’s apostle was it?

Lu Wenwu couldn’t quite remember for a moment.

All he remembered was that the apostle was also a big-breasted lady with faith in the Light.

In the city she dominated, the religious atmosphere was worlds apart from the same Light faith here.

Perhaps only the unique religious ambiance in the [Eternal Faith] instance could rival the current Holy City of Light.

Following the path indicated by the Blood Demon Radar along the main road, Lu Wenwu felt his eyes were about to go haywire.

Everything was glittering with gold.

The roads were golden, the buildings were golden, the utensils were golden, the clothing people wore was golden.

Even many foods were smeared with a golden dye of unknown origin!

Combined with the numerous Divine Servants emitting Holy Light every few steps, numerous Divine Statues reflecting with the power of Divine Art like billboards were glowing brilliantly.

Maxed out.

The light pollution was maxed out really.

It couldn’t fit in a hundred bathrooms.

Lu Wenwu, sporting a pair of sunglasses and dressed in black, strode down the road like a standout, like a crane among chickens, extremely conspicuous.

This all-black ensemble was like a big splash of ink on a golden painting, completely out of place with the mass of fanatical believers along the roadside.

If belief is set aside, Lu Wenwu seriously doubted the mental state and physical health of these believers.

With such invincible light reflection intensity, mixed with mirror and diffuse reflection at night, can an ordinary believer really live here long without going blind?

And the bizarre behavior of turning even food gold... It’s absurd to the extreme.

The only normal foods here might just be bananas and pears...

Lu Wenwu had no doubt about the intense devotion of these believers to the Gods of Light.

Seriously.

Staying here feels like torture; no sane person without strong fanatical faith could endure it!

Silently, Lu Wenwu was mocking the absurdity of the City of Light in his heart.

The believers didn’t show any friendliness to Lu Wenwu either.

After all...

In the doctrine of the Church of Light, black and red symbolize the God of Blood and the Night.

Coincidentally, the God of Blood and the Night is an adversary of the God of Light.

Naturally, these believers didn’t look kindly on Lu Wenwu, who was walking through the City of Light dressed in black.

Hey!

I think you’re here to stir up trouble, aren’t you?

Especially when Lu Wenwu expressed a desire to enter one of the Divine Halls dedicated to the God of Justice and Judgment, the believers’ discontent peaked.

There wasn’t even a need for Divine Servants to voice a blockade.

Originally scattered believers on the roadside suddenly gathered, their expressions unfriendly, looking at Lu Wenwu as if he was their mortal enemy.

They seemed on the verge of violently attacking him without another word.

Hmm...

Theoretically, their resentment was not unreasonable.

After all, Lu Wenwu devoured the Divine Sword of Judgment alive.

Destroying a Divine Artifact of the Gods of Light was probably more painful to the believers than killing their fathers.

Of course, they didn’t know that.

So when Lu Wenwu very politely demonstrated that he was a follower of the Gods of Light and publicly activated the extremely pure Holy Light Power, these previously indignant believers instantly turned into masters of changing faces.

The previous anger and hostility immediately transformed into smiles, the stern aura completely disappeared.

Even the Divine Servants and Knights of Light guarding the entrance to the Divine Hall all bowed, paying their utmost respectful homage.
