Phibit heard this sentence, and besides anger, more than that, he felt it was laughable. Do you really think that being a God means you can decide everything? Can you really determine if I become the Emperor of the Lotte Empire with just a word? Yet when he lifted his head and looked around, a chill swept through his heart. Those commoners he normally despised were glaring at him with eyes full of hatred. The nobles who had received countless rewards from him, at this moment, looked at him with eyes utterly unfamiliar. As if being reprimanded by a God, anyone close to him was equally guilty. He turned back, somewhat bewildered, and found that even his trusted aides had silently distanced themselves. A mere word from a God had left him isolated and estranged. Is this the power of faith? He thought bitterly: Haven’t I brought about my own downfall? Gu Shengyin didn’t say anything further; as a God, she only needed to state her position. Her long hair returned to its original form, the scepter and crown vanished simultaneously, and in an instant, Gu Shengyin returned to the appearance familiar to everyone. Everyone knew the God had departed. Next, the Oracle would pick the fortunate ones to bestow blessings, and thus the rite would be perfectly completed. As soon as the God left, Phibit angrily stood up. "Come here!" he shouted furiously as he glanced around.

He stomped his feet in anger, yet the guards behind him looked at each other, not one dared to move. What a joke, how could they dare to dismantle the place where the God had just descended? Moreover, most of the guards were believers of the Goddess of Nature, just now Gu Shengyin’s words had reduced Phibit’s authority as Emperor to nothing in their hearts. Yet Phibit insisted on courting disaster. Just after the Goddess of Nature descended, the emotions of the believers here were at their most intense, and he shouted to tear down the Shrine. Did he not see believers already spontaneously blocking the Shrine? Phibit grew vengeful, saying harshly: "Can’t hear my orders? Tear it down! Whoever dares to obstruct, kill without mercy!" Still, a few of the Emperor’s confidants who lacked faith stepped forward. Seeing the peaceful commoners using their bodies to shield him, a look of cruelty flashed in their eyes, the knives in their hands raised high. The commoners showed fear in their expressions, but their bodies didn’t budge. This is the place of the God; it absolutely cannot be destroyed. Gu Shengyin watched this scene, her heart stirred slightly. Did they really think she was standing here powerless? Just as the soldier’s knife was about to fall, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking straight towards him. Nothing remained of the body. Gu Shengyin used this act to shock them. Also used blood to prove that the Goddess of Nature was not without temper. "It’s divine punishment!" "The God will not abandon us!" The believers knelt excitedly for this scene, muttering praises to the Goddess of Nature. Phibit returned to the Imperial Palace with a livid face. But the matter wasn’t over. Just after returning to the palace, Phibit received the news. Duke Royd had rebelled! Still two Chapters left. (*￣3)(ε￣*) Don’t stop the votings for the monthly votes~
