CHAPTER 658: CHAPTER 571: LIGHT FALSE TALE_2

After all, such a thing would make it hard for anyone to control their expressions.

"Alright, alright."

The Black robed Archbishop, being quite straightforward, quickly stepped forward, grabbing the hand of the Red Archbishop and forcibly bringing him into the circle.

"Everyone!"

Lette saw that the atmosphere was about right and directly got to the main point.

"You all called me here, there must be something more important than just a casual chat that needs our discussion, right."

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Seeing Lette a bit impatient, the Pope quickly stepped back with the Archbishops, retreating two steps.

"Divine Envoy, the main reason we asked you here today is for the upcoming appointment ceremony."

"The ceremony, is there a problem?"

The Pope and the three bishops looked at each other, finally nodding with strange expressions.

"There’s nothing wrong with the ceremony itself, after all, it’s not particularly crucial.

The most troubling thing is... is..."

Lette became even more curious seeing him stuttering.

This is the Pope after all!

In the Light World, he holds the highest authority, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

What could be so difficult that even he is troubled?

"It’s not the ceremony that’s a problem, could it be the official title, or are there dissenting opinions from others?"

Lette kept pressing, and his questions grew increasingly forceful, truly scaring the few leaders.

The Pope thought he was angered, no longer daring to beat around the bush and explained directly.

"Divine Envoy, can you... communicate with the Holy Spirit of Light?"

What does this question mean?

Lette was very surprised, could they have seen through his facade?

Impossible, he hadn’t demonstrated anything in front of others for a long time. Even if the Pope was powerful, it was impossible to find flaws in his ceremony.

Pretending to be genuine is no joke.

But what he said next left Lette flabbergasted, nearly dropping his jaw in shock.

"Actually, Divine Envoy, we also haven’t been able to contact the Holy Light Spirit for a long time.

You heard me right, we and the Divine have been disconnected."

"Ah?"

This time, Lette really couldn’t hold it together: "How could this be? So you too haven’t had direct contact with the Holy Spirit of Light for a long time?"

The four leaders of the Church Court flushed with embarrassment.

Despite being trusted aides of the Holy Spirit of Light, they couldn’t directly communicate with God. Not even indirect communication happened often.

This made Lette a bit worried.

If the official Holy Prayer channel of the Church Court is also blocked, then all the hustle was meaningless.

"Divine Envoy, rest assured, all our equipment is intact.

But for some reason, we just can’t connect with the great Holy Spirit anymore."

Lette frowned as he looked at them; once this secret was known, retreating unscathed wouldn’t be so easy.

"Did you set all this up so grandly just to tell me this?"

The Pope descended the steps directly and approached Lette.

"We absolutely cannot let the public know that God no longer responds to worldly matters.

But tomorrow, we still have to conduct the ceremony.

One step in the ceremony requires communicating with the Holy Spirit of Light and gaining approval.

But given the current situation, it can’t be held.

So, during tomorrow’s ceremony, you may need to simulate the appearance of being blessed by God.

Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"I think I understand what you mean."

Lette clutched his forehead and sat on a pew inside the chapel.

"I see, no wonder something seemed off; I kept looking for abnormalities among you.

Unexpectedly, this is the reason.

It’s truly astonishing."

After receiving this news, Lette suddenly felt enlightened.

Many unexplained phenomena and various abnormal behaviors made sense and were no longer troubling because of this point.

What was supposed to be a decisive and bloody battle turned out to be a major display of counterfeits during a family reunion.

Oh, so you are fakes too?

No, the Light God Sect cannot be called a counterfeit.

They were once genuine, but with time have gradually become impostors.

The reason they dare not target Lette nor oppose the Holy Mountain, maintaining a relatively weak stance.

Is because they too are unsure if the Holy Mountain Divine Messenger can indeed communicate with God.

If the Holy Mountain Divine Messenger truly can communicate with the God who has long ceased responding to their prayers, then the Holy Mountain is indeed authentic.

While they have become discarded rubbish by God, not even qualified to be counterfeits.

If, like the Light Divine Court, the Holy Mountain Divine Messenger is also a group that, due to God’s ceased response to prayers, resorts to fraud, then things become extremely interesting.

When an old scammer meets a new scammer, how will the story unfold?

Clearly, the old scammers now hope to collude with the new ones and continue the deception together.

Although the vested interests of the old scammers may be divided, it’s preferable to being exposed and utterly collapsing together.

Yet the old scammers remain unsure about the new scammers’ intentions; are they inclined to continue deceiving, or to perish together?

Or is there a plan to completely establish themselves as authentic, marking the previous scammers as fakes?

If it’s the latter, the old scammers must fight to the death.

If it’s the former, they are also very concerned about the new scammers’ appetite and whether there’s interest in the chief scammer’s position.

In a word, it’s all about power and benefit.

Upon grasping these matters, Lette felt truly worn out.

Who would have thought so much time could be wasted on such matters?

He couldn’t care less about some plundered interest redistribution, he just wants the official sacrificial route of the Church Court.

As for those vermin, there will be plenty of time to deal with them later.

But for now, to avoid being seen as enemies by the old scam artists and to prevent further complications, Lette must feign a willingness to conspire with them.

"I believe there is a saying, that joy shared is joy multiplied.

The Holy Spirit of Light must have some unknown reason for not being able to respond to our call temporarily.

At such a critical moment, in such special times,

I’m willing to cooperate sincerely with everyone, making every possible effort to find the Holy Spirit of Light and reestablish the close bond between believers and God.

Of course, before achieving this, I hope to contribute to the management and development of the Church Court.

But I’m still quite young and lack experience in many aspects.

In future work, I’ll need to learn a lot from you, the esteemed predecessors!

I hope you all won’t be stingy in teaching me!

Ahahaha..."

Lette’s string of socially savvy words warmed the hearts of the Pope and the three Archbishops alike.

After the first couple of sentences, they sensed a familiar kinship in his tone.

Since they are kindred spirits, everything becomes quite simple.

And given the other’s willingness to cooperate and understanding demeanor, their previous concerns and suspicions were immediately dispelled.

The two sides continued to lightly discuss further deep collaboration.

This meeting ended amidst laughter and joy, both hosts and guests delighting in each other’s company.

Lette also promised them that in the inauguration ceremony tomorrow, he would follow the procedure and complete the entire process.

Regarding the most crucial part of simulating the Holy Spirit of Light’s miraculous descent, Lette offered many constructive suggestions which the Pope and others gladly accepted.

They also wanted to express goodwill toward Lette, the emerging young leader.

After all, with the Holy Mountain in its prime, face must still be given!

After bidding farewell to the four, Lette once again boarded the carriage, heading toward the estate where he was staying.

The Pope and others’ behavior rendered him speechless but also dispelled some inner doubts.

Now, the final obstacle has been removed.

All that remains is for him to assume the position tomorrow, then, using his official capacity, discern the genuine status of the Holy Spirit of Light, to find the final answer.

While Lette was calculating thus, the carriage slowly entered a quiet alleyway.

Whoosh!

A flame arrow pierced through the air!
