Chapter 262, Fifth Brother: What He means is that He is Heaven.
"So, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Hearing Bai Mu's words, Coral Palace Xin Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Now, she finally understood what Shiraki was trying to do.
Solving the Eye Hunt Order might be an option, but it's not Shiraki's primary objective.
From the perspective of the Coral Palace's inner eye, Shiraki's main purpose was to spread the faith of the thunder god Baal.
Composing herself, Coral Palace Heart Sea lowered her head and said in a serious tone:
"Thank you for your efforts, sir. Your plan is very meticulous. We will certainly follow your words and believe in the great Lord Baal."
"But sir, most of the people of Haizhi Island are followers of the demon god Aurobas. Forcing them to change their faith might be..."
Coral Palace Heart Sea observed Bai Mu's expression and spoke cautiously.
Although Shiraki's plan had merit, and she had no other choice, the issue of the people's faith on Haizhi Island needed to be addressed.
Forcibly changing the faith would undoubtedly be a huge shock to the people of Haizhi Island.
"Don't worry about that. You just need to spread the faith. You don't need to deliberately ask everyone to believe in her."
"It is acceptable for the natives of Haizhi Island to worship only the demon god Aurobas; worship is not mandatory."
Shiraki's words relieved both Kokoro and Goro, who were genuinely afraid that Shiraki would say something like, "If you don't have faith, then kill them all."
Since Shiraki did not force the people of Haizhi Island to change their beliefs, they do not need to worry too much about the religious crisis on Haizhi Island.
"Alright, you two can discuss the issue of spreading your faith first."
“I will help you sever the connection between the Thor statue on Sea Island and Thor. After that, this Thor statue will become a statue of Baal, the God of Thunder.”
After saying that, Shiraki didn't give the two a chance to process the information and immediately teleported to the Thor statue on the Sea Island.
...
the other side.
After Shiraki left, Sango Mikoto and Goro looked at each other in silence.
"Goro, what do you think of this?"
After a while, Coral Palace Heart Sea spoke, breaking the silence first.
"Lord Coral Palace, is there any other way besides following that gentleman's orders?"
Goro's question startled Coral Palace Heart Sea, and then she nodded with a wry smile.
"Yes, we have no other choice."
Although they felt bitter about being oppressed, they still thought Shiraki's plan had merit.
Although this requires them to offer their faith, if faith alone can save the lives of countless rebel members, Coral Palace Heart Sea thinks that the rebels who joined outside Sea Island would probably be very willing to worship the Thunder God Baal.
Just as Coral Palace Heart Sea and Goro were talking, a sudden burst of lightning appeared in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the lightning disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the clear sky, Coral Palace Heart Sea had a feeling that something else had dissipated along with the lightning.
...
Shiraki's side.
Looking at the towering statue of Thor in front of him, Bai Mu reached out and placed his palm on the statue's thigh.
It wasn't that Bai Mu wanted to place it here, but due to the height of the statue, he could only place his hand here.
If it goes any higher, it will need to float.
Feeling the faith about shadow within the statue, Shiraki's mind stirred.
Subsequently, he forcibly pulled those beliefs out of existence.
The faith was suddenly stripped away, and the idol shook violently, but returned to normal in an instant.
Shiraki discovered that although he had extracted all the faith accumulated in the statue, because the connection between the statue and the shadow had not been severed, faith would still flow into the statue from time to time.
After carefully examining the relationship between faith and the statue, Bai Mu's eyes narrowed, and a stream of divine power flowed from Bai Mu's palm into the body of the Thunder God statue.
At that moment, the space around Haizhi Island seemed to freeze for a instant, followed by a sudden burst of lightning in the sky.
Looking at the lightning bolt overhead that seemed poised to strike him at any moment, Shiraki calmly waved his hand.
The sky cleared up once again.
......
In a teahouse in Liyue Harbor.
While enjoying her afternoon tea, Ying suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. This tightness wasn't physical; it was a feeling on a conscious level.
After settling the bill with a frown, Ying forced herself to return home.
She sat at the counter with a furrowed brow, having already realized the problem.
"You probably sensed it by now, but I'm a bit busy right now, I'll explain to you later."
A familiar voice suddenly reached her ears, which eased Ying's furrowed brows slightly.
She withdrew her gaze from the sky above Haizhi Island, sat quietly behind the counter, and waited for Bai Mu to return and explain to her.
......
After severing the connection between the Raijin statue on Haizhi Island and the Extinction, Shiraki returned to the Heart Sea of Coral Palace.
"Alright, I have just severed the connection between the idol and the deity."
"From now on, this statue will be the statue of Baal, the god of thunder. You only need to worship this statue from now on."
Shiraki did this for two reasons: first, he wanted Baal to have a container to store his faith; second, he wanted Baal's faith to spread more effectively.
Although Shadow had no intention of suppressing the spread of Baal's faith, she actually very much hoped that Baal's faith could spread here.
However, as long as the Seven Gods statue of Thor is present, Baal's faith will be suppressed to some extent.
"It is going to rain."
Glancing at the two silent figures, Shiramu looked up at the sky and suddenly uttered this sentence.
Upon hearing this, the two looked at Bai Mu with curiosity.
It's as if they're saying, "Didn't you make it a sunny day? Why are you saying it's going to rain now?"
As if sensing their inner thoughts, Bai Mu smiled faintly.
"The will of Heaven cannot be defied."
As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds instantly filled the sky, and large raindrops hung above the three of them, as if they could fall at any moment.
"I have to go now. I'll have to wait until next time to come. Is there anything else you want to say or ask?"
They both shook their heads in unison.
It's not that they don't have problems, but rather that they've been hit too hard today and need some time to process it.
"Alright then, I'm leaving. The next time I come looking for you will be the time to launch a counterattack. In the meantime, you should spread your faith as soon as possible."
The moment Shiraki disappeared, large raindrops fell on their heads.
"Lord Coral Palace, we should spread the faith of the Thunder God Baal as soon as possible, as instructed by that person. If we delay, we might displease him."
Back in the reception room, Goro looked shaken.
"Why do you say that? I think that person has a very kind personality."
Coral Palace Heart Sea looked at her exceptionally intelligent general with suspicion.
Perhaps because Shiroki had revealed his scales before, although Shiroki was suspected of using his strength to intimidate them, Coral Palace Heart Sea did have a fairly good feeling about Shiroki.
Do you know what those words he left behind meant?
"The will of Heaven cannot be defied. Doesn't this prove that our overthrow of the Eye Hunting Order is the will of Heaven, and even General Thunder cannot defy the will of Heaven?"
After thinking for a moment, Coral Palace Xin Hai offered her own insights.
Upon hearing this, Goro's lips trembled slightly:
"No, that's not the case."
"That person just said that the will of Heaven is unchangeable, but then he turned around and overturned the 'will of Heaven'."
"Doesn't this just prove that the 'heaven' that person mentioned is not the 'heaven' that we are familiar with?"
"The 'heaven' that he speaks of may be Himself."
