"The Church of Life is hypocritical, evil and cruel. Since its emergence, it has invaded the land of the orcs, plundered the wealth of human countries, and used heresy to deceive the ignorant people, divide the territory of the empire, and damage the authority of our lord..."

"Since 1072 of the Eternal Era, John the Blasphemer has disregarded the provisions of the True God Agreement to privately spread the faith of the Church of Life in various parts of the Holy Mannia, inciting the people and provoking opposition..."

"Since John the Prodigal preached, there have been 47 riots in the empire and abroad, 34 of which are related to John the Prodigal. The riots have caused the deaths of at least 132 nobles and 27 clergymen, including three earls, one marquis and two bishops, which have affected 31 cities... The crime is extremely evil and cannot be forgiven!"

"According to Chapter 7, Article 53 of the Gospel Precepts of the Eternal Book, John the blasphemer has seriously violated the rights and interests of the Eternal Church, violated dogma and imperial laws, and constituted blasphemy sins, incitement, pagan sins... and other 18 major crimes!"

"The glory of my Lord is inviolable, and the majesty of my Lord cannot be blasphemed!"

"John the blasphemer John is sinister and evil, distorts himself and bewitches the ignorant people for his personal ambitions and selfish interests. His actions are unforgivable. Now, according to the judgment of the Eternal Church, John the blasphemer is punished by the burning of the blasphemer John!"

"John... do you know your guilt?!"

The solemn voice of the bishop of the Tribunal spread throughout the square.

At the end of the day, he almost roared at Old John with a roaring voice, his eyes wide open, his facial features were ferocious and angry.

The words seemed to carry some magic power and had a shocking power.

After hearing his words, the onlookers couldn't help but feel shocked, and felt a sense of regret and guilt from the bottom of their hearts. All the wrong things they had done before appeared in their minds, and they were in panic...

This is the magical art of the clergy [Spiritual Shock].

For a time, many eternal believers who fear the church or people with weak spiritual tolerance could not help but lower their heads, either confessing and praying, or sobbing in a low voice.

There were also some people who were unstable who stared at the gods' favored John, who looked angry, and that look as if they could eat his flesh...

The somewhat repressive quiet atmosphere formed when the bishop of the Inquisition angrily rebuked John was quickly broken, and the curses sounded again, as if no curse or scolding in this world could express the public's hatred for the blasphemer...

If it weren't for the distance, I'm afraid there would be many stones falling on Old John.

However, unlike the people who were angry after hearing the judgment, Old John's expression was still calm, and the bishop of the Tribunal did not seem to have any effect on him.

I saw him gently raise his head, straight waist, and a firm voice:

"No, I...is not guilty."

"Bold! John the blasphemy, what you have done has been recorded in our judgment. With the agreement of the True God and the Eternal Code as evidenced, do you still want to make a case?"

The bishop of the Tribunal angrily rebuked.

Old John sneered, glanced at the ferocious and angry bishop of the Tribunal with disdain, and then his eyes slowly turned to Pope Benedict II with a calm face.

He took a deep breath and said calmly:

"Nothing I did violates the agreement of the True God... Everything I did was just and right."

"Quote! Lies!"

The bishop of the Tribunal yelled.

Old John sneered again and glanced at him:

"Mr. Bishop, you said that the Church of Life is hypocritical, evil and cruel, but what I see is another scene."

As he said that, he looked solemn:

"Since the emergence of the Church of Life, we have resisted the invasion of the demons of the abyss, expelled the invading demons, and purified the pollution left by the abyss in the world of Segus..."

"Help the poor get out of trouble, rebuild their homes, adopt orphans, help the disabled and weak, treat the wounded and sick, teach the poor who cannot heal their illnesses without any reward, teach the people knowledge and skills, help people overcome setbacks and survive..."

"We have witnessed one civilian who breaks away from despair and regains hope for the future. We have led everyone out of difficulties and welcome the future..."

"How come such a loving church becomes evil and artificial in your mouth?"

"As for what you said to invade the land of the orcs and plunder the wealth of human countries..."

"The former is the orcs persecuted the elves, and invaded the elves Forest first. My Lord and the elves believers were forced to fight back."

"The latter is the eternal church without any sense of responsibility, and has abandoned its people again and again when the evil gods resurrect and the demons invade. It is our Lord who guides believers and warriors to intervene in time, bringing peace and salvation..."

"This is proved by the songs of the minstrels, the caravans coming and going, and the believers who have swiftly immigrated to the areas where the Church of Life are located, and who have converted to our Lord."

"It took us less than a year to regain the war-torn Fengyueling and be peaceful and prosperous; it took us just a few months to free one poor person after another from poverty..."

"How can this be considered a plunder of wealth?"

"My Lord has only brought new hope to the poor people after the eternal church abandoned his people."

"There is a saying in the "Sacred Book of Life" that the eyes of the people are bright. All of these are not our choices or our compulsions, but the people choose the arms of our Lord and become believers of our Lord."

"How can this be called desensive people?"

Old John's words were loud and loud, and seemed to have some kind of power that could not be described in words, ringing in the square and in everyone's heart.

The majestic and calm sound, like a melodious bell, was shocked in the hearts of the people.

Many people gradually calmed down and couldn't help but remember the rumors about the Church of Life that they had heard from various gossips in recent years.

For a moment, the curses gradually lowered, and many people slowly woke up from their anger, watching the trial on the stage, and were talking.

The bishop of the Tribunal changed slightly.

His eyes were too long and he shouted:

"Quote! Lies!"

"My Lord's glory cannot be desecrated, and my Lord's glory cannot be defiled!"

"After the war between gods and demons began, our Lord led the gods to fight against the abyss and attacked hell, and he was constantly fighting for the safety of the Seges world. However, the Church of Life took advantage of the fact that our Lord was fighting ahead, which was a shameless betrayal of justice!"

"A church that is so hypocritical is not qualified to preach on the mainland at all! Not to mention, it is to deceive believers on the land of our Lord without permission!"

Old John sneered:

"Betrayal of justice? Bewitching believers? This is even more ridiculous."

As he said that, his expression turned cold:

"As far as I know, after the war between gods and demons, the abyss forces invaded the world of Seges in large numbers, because the Eternal Church was unwilling to return to help and intended to use the power of the abyss demons to consume the strength of our Lord..."

"But, my Lord is powerful and just, turning the tide at the most critical moment and defeating the invasion of the abyss!"

"How can this betrayal of justice?"

"If you really want to say betrayal, the Eternal Lord who is unwilling to return to help is! If you really want to say betrayal, the Eternal Church that wants to use the power of the abyss to weaken the life church!"

"Bold! The name of my Lord is also something you, a blasphemer, can mention?!"

The bishop of the Tribunal rebuked.

Old John was even more disdainful:

"So what about mentioning it? Since you talk about betrayal, let's talk about it..."

"Everyone in the world knows that my Lord is Eve, the goddess of life. How many people know that my Lord's full name is Eve Uktrashire?"

"My Lord's identity is not only the goddess of life, but also the great world tree!"

"He is the incarnation of life, the mother of nature, the master of the Silver Age, and was once praised by the gods as the mother of all gods!"

As he said that, he looked at the clergy of the Eternal Church with a sarcasm:

"Why did the World Tree wither a thousand years ago, why did the Holy Mannian Empire rise, and this history buried by the Eternal Church... Do I need to talk about it carefully?"

Hearing Old John's words, the expressions of some clergy who had a lot of qualifications in the Eternal Church changed slightly, and the people in the audience instantly cast curious eyes.

It is the nature of every mortal to watch the fun without much trouble.

The true identity of the goddess of life named by Old John also surprised many people.

This is a point to mention.

Although it is no secret that Eve revealed her identity and the news that the Goddess of Life is the World Tree, for ordinary people, these messages from the extraordinary world are still out of reach.

For the vast majority of civilians on the scene, this is the first time they know about it.

However, the creatures in the world of Seges are not unfamiliar with the world tree.

The silver civilization of the elves left too deep an influence on all races in the Seges world, and even after a thousand years, it did not disappear. The most of them are stories about the World Tree.

Among all myths and legends, the great world tree always appears as a kindness, justice and kindness.

Therefore, when we learned that the identity of the Goddess of Life was the World Tree, the mood of the onlookers immediately became subtle.

This subtlety became more and more obvious under the expressions of the bishops and pastors who did not deny it, but obviously changed slightly.

The discussion seemed to be even louder...

As for Old John, he completely let go of himself.

He raised his head and chest with disdain. Under the bishop's ugly gaze, and in the priests' suspicious sight, he poured out the secrets of thousands of years ago that he had seen from the holy book:

"If you want to betrayal, it should be the eternal church betrays the life church, or... the former natural church is!"

"Thousands of years ago, I received the help of my Lord and achieved the position of God, and I will betray my Lord with grace and revenge!

"Thousands of years ago, the gods in the heavens stopped my master from going further in order to make their own selfish desires, and sneak attacked my master!"

"If you want to talk about betrayers, the Eternal Church is the betrayer!"

"Stop it! You shameless blasphemer, you dare to blaspheme the heroic name of your Lord!"

The judge's bishop was furious and scolded him sternly.
