Chapter 717: Void Sermon and Loyalty Test
The exterior of the building looked rather old, but the interior had been renovated into a brand new one.
There were also a few other professionals dressed in different clothes waiting here.
These people all seemed to have some strength. They kept silent and looked extremely vigilant.
Matthew swept his gaze across the entire place without any restraint, then snorted coldly and swaggered to sit on a chair beside him.
Peggy and Soldier stood behind him.
Immediately, it intimidated some of the malicious gazes.
There was an open room in front of the intersection.
From time to time, low voices could be heard from inside.
There was probably sound-filtering magic at the door.
The people outside could only hear the conversation happening inside, but they did not know what they were talking about.
It made one’s heart itch.
Matthew composed himself and looked back at the side hall he had just passed. The scene he had accidentally glimpsed was still in his mind.
It was a senior member of the Order of Calamity preaching to a group of new ordinary believers.
The senior said.
The great Ruler of the Void, Yurkus, was about to enter this land, and all living beings on the continent would be deprived of their right to exist.
Terrifying calamities would frequently occur with the appearance of giant beasts.
Ordinary people without faith would become food for the giant beasts.
Even if they managed to survive.
There was no hope of survival.
To avoid all of this, one had to believe in the mighty Void Ruler.
From today onwards, they would serve Yurkus, always thinking about him, praying every day, repenting regularly, and worshipping piously.
This was the only way.
When Yurkus descended to the earth, the believers would have the opportunity to be promoted to the Void Kingdom and become immortal Void lifeforms.
Yurkus had arranged 99 beautiful women in the Void Kingdom who would listen to his every word.
69 strong, capable, and considerate men were arranged for the female believers.
If you’re tired of love.
There was a chance to advance to the more powerful ” High-Dimensional Overseer.”
You would jump out of the shackles of time and space and become a ray of starlight beside Yurkus.
Until the universe collapsed.
You would not die.
You would enjoy true eternal life and happiness.
The veteran was quite familiar with the above words. It was obvious that it was not his first time preaching.
Matthew recalled the fanatical expressions on the believers’ faces and could not help but shake his head.
One thing was for sure.
The Order of Calamity was currently recruiting members on a large scale in the Watcher Highland.
The newly recruited members could be divided into three categories.
The first type was the ordinary believers.
The group of people that Matthew had seen in the side hall was a typical example.
Ordinary believers only needed to pay the most basic entrance fee, and after joining the church, they would be provided with food and accommodation.
What they had to pay was their personal freedom. They had to act in groups at all times and obey orders.
However, this group had the most new members.
When Matthew walked into the building, he would often see a veteran leading dozens of new members to empty rooms or side halls and then sit down to preach.
Most of the new members were homeless people from the Highland Watchers or people at the bottom who could not make a living.
These people had relied on the Druid Church to survive.
However, ever since the Withered Disciples attacked the Holy Oak District.
They had lost the aid of the Druids.
Naturally, they could only find another way out.
This group of people was very large. If they all joined the Order of Calamity or other cults, the enemy’s power would become unprecedentedly large.
This made Matthew’s heart sink.
In fact, when he first arrived at Cross City, he realized that the population density here was much higher than in other cities in the south.
This was obviously the work of the Earth Society.
The Druids were still trying their best to help the homeless and the hungry.
However, there was a side effect.
As the reputation of Watcher Highland grew, it became a gathering place for the homeless in the south.
Many of the vagrants did not even have the intention to reclaim their own land after tasting the benefits. They just waited for the Druid Church to distribute food.
As time passed.
Not only did Cross City have a huge population, but it also had many hidden dangers.
After all, once these people who could not be satisfied, they might cause trouble.
For these people, it was naturally more comfortable to lie down and accept the help of the Druids, but if they really had no food to eat, then joining a cult was not a problem worth considering.
The scene in front of Matthew confirmed this point.
As for the second type of new members, they were known as ‘devout believers’ by the veterans within the Order of Calamity.
Unlike ordinary believers who only needed to pay a low entrance fee, every devout believer had to pay more than 1000 gold coins as soon as they joined the church.
This fee was known as the ” Divine Grace Donation.”
After paying the fee.
Disciples of Calamity would receive a God Grace Token. The level of the God Grace Token would vary according to the amount of payment.
According to the level of the Divine Grace Token.
These devout believers would also receive certain positions and titles.
Although most of them were empty positions with no power.
