Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Churches were everywhere in China. They were already dissatisfied with the current situation and wanted to expand faster, but they had to be careful not to be discovered by the Zou family.

This time, they had targeted the rich. Their support was much more useful than that of the commoners. When the power was enough to compete with the Zou family, they would naturally be able to pull in more believers.

The Zhao family had also given them a lot of convenience so that they could avoid the Zou family’s secret guards.

They knew that they couldn’t touch Xiyun, so they went to Lin City in the south. The standard of living here was very high, and it was one of the best in China.

These rich people liked to pursue spiritual sustenance. It was a good place for them to rope in more believers.

The Zheng family in Lin City was a century-old family. Although they were not as famous as the Zou family, they were considered a top family in the south. The old lady in the family loved to go to Buddhist temples.

They targeted Old Madam Zheng and used various methods to let her know that there was still the existence of the Church.

The old lady was not very vigilant to begin with. In addition, the people from the church were best at preaching, so she was deceived into converting to the church and was very devout.

The family had no objections to the old lady’s beliefs. As long as she was happy, it was fine. At most, they would give the church more money so that they could say more things that the old lady liked to hear.

Anyway, as long as the old lady was happy, it didn’t matter what she believed. Their family didn’t lack money.

However, the eldest young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Fan, realized that something was wrong. This church was not the kind of church that advised people to be kind. It was not in the ssystem as the local churches. It seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Moreover, Old Madam Zheng kept muttering about the apocalypse. She was anxious every day as if something terrible had happened. Only when she saw the people from the church would she calm down. No one knew what they had said.

Zheng Fan thought of a way to get a book on the church. After opening it, he was even more certain that this church was a cult.

It was about ‘the apocalypse’. It said that the sun would disappear soon. Only those who had contributed enough to the church could enter a new era.

Zheng Fan did not believe a word of this. He had to think of a way to wake Grandma up.

However, Old Madam Zheng trusted the church very much and did not listen to her grandson at all. She even felt that he would offend the gods by doing this, so she pulled him to the church to repent.

Zheng Fan was originally unwilling to go, but on second thought, if he knew more about this church, he would be able to expose their true colors, so he obediently followed.

With Old Madam Zheng leading them successfully into the church, this place was so hidden that even locals could not discover it. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that it was a church.

Old Madam Zheng pushed him forward and made him kneel in front of the statue to repent.

Zheng Fan knelt unwillingly. He did not have any thoughts of repenting, but when a fragrance wafted over, he felt especially sad and tears fell.

At the stime, his heart was filled with guilt for slandering the church previously. Then, he cried bitterly.

The people from the church took him into their arms and comforted him. The others also cried, as if they could empathize with his sadness.

After crying for so long, Zheng Fan’s mentality changed. He felt that the Church was not that bad after all. After returning home, he studied the book seriously.

Old Madam Zheng was also happy to see this happen. The relationship between the grandson and grandmother was getting better and better. Every day, they discussed when they would go to the church again.

Such a scene happened in all the families in Lin City. They felt that the church was another hfor them. The believers inside were a family. They could truly understand their happiness and sadness.

Therefore, they wanted to pull their families in. If they could succeed, everyone would be happy. However, if their families were resistant and refused to join, it beca disaster for their families.

There would be endless arguments in the family. No one could understand each other. In the end, they would even fall apart.

The Church was taking over the city step by step, and the Zhao family was doing their best to hide these things. The Zou family’s secret guards could not keep their eyes on Lin City. Their main attention was still on Beijing and Xiyun.

The Church was not greedy. They slowly developed in Lin City and Zhu City. As long as they had these two bases, they could expand throughout the country.

On the laboratory table, the instrument that Si Cheng was connected to fluctuated greatly and finally stabilized.

Luo Chen and Julie almost fainted from exhaustion. They didn’t even have tto eat.

“Julie, how long do you think we’ll be busy?” Luo Chen’s voice becsofter.

Julie shook her head. “I don’t know either. At least until this person can return to a normal standard of living.”
