Chapter 649: Chapter 474: The Eroded Goddess (Unfortunate News, I’ve Been Hit.)

A dark crimson mist enveloped the body of the Holy Light Little Goddess.

She was digesting the energy absorbed from Qin Chu’s body, which was not an easy task.

To Qin Chu, this might have been the purest form of energy, but for the Holy Light Little Goddess, this energy was filled with pride, fury, lust, greed, gluttony, jealousy, sloth, death, hatred, ruthlessness... and other chaotic and mixed negative emotions.

It was like a composite of countless malicious thoughts.

Among them, gluttony and lust were especially intense.

Qin Chu had just been through a war and a confrontation with the Divine Will, which had led directly to the exhaustion of his energy.

After this, his energy quickly recovered, and the heart of the Evil God played an indispensable role in this.

It was the heart of the Evil God that transformed the energy from the remains of the Evil God into Qin Chu’s energy. This energy was very normal for Qin Chu and posed no problems at all.

However, for the Holy Light Little Goddess, it was as though a massive amount of poison had been added to a surge of abundant energy.

The Holy Light Goddess had already sensed this during the previous energy absorption from Qin Chu, but at that time, the negative emotions contained in these energies were not so exaggerated. Moreover, she was in the state of the Holy Light Goddess then, and even if there were negative emotions, they could easily be suppressed and purified by the Holy Light Goddess.

At this moment, the Holy Light Little Goddess found herself in a strange torment; she could choose to expel this energy from her body, thus avoiding being affected.

But, she needed this energy to recover.

Ultimately, the Holy Light Little Goddess chose to endure, for what she lacked in this void was energy, and what she did not lack was time.

Although her body had become smaller, she was still the most powerful local god in the Sky Dome Continent. She believed that she could counteract and expel these negative wills, and her consciousness would not truly be eroded.

Murderous intent, death, indifference, hatred...

One by one, the fragile negative emotions were gradually cleansed by the Holy Light Little Goddess,

It seemed like countless insane murmurs echoed in her ears as if the Holy Light Little Goddess felt she had returned to that bloody and deadly war from a thousand years ago.

Sloth, was expelled.

The Holy Light Little Goddess’s spirit was shaken.

The originally dark crimson color also became lighter and lighter.

Jealousy, was expelled.

Pride, was expelled.

Greed and fury were also expelled.

At this moment, amidst these negative emotions, only the last two remained: gluttony and lust.

Among them, the emotion of gluttony was much stronger, whereas the emotion of lust was slightly weaker. The Holy Light Little Goddess initially wanted to first cleanse lust.

But this strand of emotion, though weak, was far more cunning than the will of gluttony.

The Holy Light Little Goddess even found it hard to catch traces of lust, and reluctantly chose to first cleanse gluttony and then deal with the lingering strands of lust.

It is unknown how much time had passed; the elusive will of lust was finally caught by the Holy Light Little Goddess. Relying on her strong will, she suppressed lust and then gradually peeled it from her body.

At the surface of the Holy Light Little Goddess’s body, the dark crimson color had completely vanished, leaving behind only pure energy as clear as water and as smooth as glass.

The reddish-brown patches on her face were also quickly fading away.

The Holy Light Little Goddess finally gently parted her lips, and in the next instance, the pure energy was completely swallowed with a whoosh.

But what the Holy Light Little Goddess did not notice was that in that very moment when the pure energy was completely swallowed, a faint pink trace, almost imperceptible, flashed and then disappeared, soon entering the Holy Light Little Goddess’s body along with the other energies.

...

On another side, Qin Chu left the rebuilding headquarters of the Holy Court and headed to the Civilian District.

Veronica, representing the Holy Court, had purchased several plots of land in the Civilian District. There weren’t many buildings on the land, just very simple walls constructed from stones or wooden planks.

Within the walls, there was a very spacious area like a square.

The square was divided into different sections, where old people were sitting everywhere, and in each section, there was at least one Holy Man indoctrinating... no, lecturing these elders.

Perhaps the mode of presentation used by these Holy Men wasn’t that easy to understand, and how exactly the Holy Light Goddess was great was rather abstract, but these elders understood at least one thing: devout belief in the Holy Light Goddess would mean they could eat their fill at every meal.

The person in charge here, Veronica, noticed Qin Chu’s figure appearing and her pupils released a nearly insane joy; she quickly walked over and accompanied Qin Chu to inspect the situation here.

As they passed through one area, Qin Chu slightly frowned, "Veronica, pick out that one, and that one... over there, those few."

Although Veronica didn’t understand what His Holiness the Pope intended to do, as a fanatic, she would never have any slight doubt about His Holiness’s orders.

She immediately arranged for a group of Holy Men to select all the elderly pointed out by Qin Chu.

These elders still had some confusion on their faces.

Qin Chu didn’t explain anything to them but directly moved on to the next section and selected over a dozen people from the believers there.
