Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 363 Miscellaneous Affairs of the Church of Apocalypse
The next day.

In New York and other places, the military surrounded villas and companies, and in full view of the public, brought out the usually glamorous and powerful people.

This caused a huge uproar.

After the incident, various media outlets, mouthpieces, and trade associations controlled by capital began to speak out, claiming that there were corrupt officials in the US government who used frame-up tactics to arrest various business leaders, which they called terrorism and a violation of freedom laws...

Protests erupted across the United States, and in some places, armed clashes broke out. Many security companies and police departments that relied on capitalists for funding also got involved, and the situation began to descend into chaos.

However, the American government seems rather indifferent to this.

Don't worry about having too many lice.

There are protests about Orlando, protests about natural disasters, protests about miracles...

What else can be done?

Let them go?

The other powerful figures who control America will not stand for it. If these guys don't die, are they the ones who will?

Therefore, the facts are already very clear.

a week later.

After several riots and civil unrest, the main perpetrators of the riots were all executed, and the bodies of all the ringleaders were sent to Sugar Hill.

Along with the body, a series of classified documents from Florida were also sent, including lists of officials, local economic conditions, population taxes, troop deployments, and other data that could only be accessed by the authorities.

Carl Cano accepted all of this, but he didn't actually send anyone to take over. Instead, he only took over the main operations in Orlando and Miami, while continuing to use the original staff for the rest.

This also represents the Cano family's future course of action: Florida will become independent in effect, but will remain nominally part of the United States. Therefore, all benefits will remain the same, and Florida will receive the same economic allocations...

The events that occurred in Florida have terrified all the wealthy and powerful in the United States, who have begun to inquire about its secrets. Not only them, but also various countries, mystical forces, and even various cults related to Hell have started to pay attention.

However, these mundane matters no longer bother Louis. For Louis now, these kinds of things can be left to his family and his women to handle.

He devoted himself entirely to the mystical side, though he was occasionally distracted by other matters.

Two days ago, a banquet was held, bringing back Madison, Mary, Eulenka, and Hayley, and making entirely new arrangements.

Mary is an absolute genius. Apart from continuing to improve her mathematical skills, Louis has been guiding her through the general principles of the Star Array. Otherwise, she has not taken on any other work. She is still a bit young and somewhat naive. Louis plans to arrange an important job for her after she turns eighteen, such as... a department specializing in array formations and construction.

Hailey arranged for her to work at the Cano Corporation. She had a high aptitude for biology and chemistry and was expected to become the head of the group's pharmaceutical department. At the same time, due to her biological research, she also had some authority over the rebirth base and could conduct research on the contained objects.

Yulenka cut short her studies to study in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, and is expected to return in three months to take up an administrative post in Miami in preparation for the future "relocation of the capital." Yes, Florida's administrative center will move from Tallahassee to Miami, the Cano family's home base.

Madison is to be sent to a witch academy for further study. Her bloodline is very interesting and her talent is very high, but it is just so-so without development. Only the systematic teaching of the Salem witches can better develop her abilities. Louis has already sent people to Louisiana to visit the current Supreme Witch.

Emma and others also have corresponding arrangements.

After ascending to godhood, faith naturally becomes an important aspect, and establishing a church to guide and spread it is the most convenient means. Coincidentally, Louis had already done some preliminary work beforehand by establishing the [Shōmyō Shrine] in Japan, which worships the sun god.

Now is the perfect time to use this as a foundation to send shrine staff to America and immediately establish a systematic church for Louis.

As for cultural differences, one should simply follow local customs, as long as one believes in the same person.

As for a split like that in Christianity? Louis is alive today and is prepared to send apostles to intervene, so such a thing is naturally impossible.

That's right, Emma and the others were arranged to become apostles.

Like Jesus' followers, they were widely known as disciples. Among them, twelve were personally chosen by Jesus to be his confidants and trusted advisors, bearing heavy responsibilities and known as apostles.

“Although I don’t intend to copy the Vatican Church exactly, there are some things in this system that I’ll modify a little,” Louis said at the banquet.

“A novice priest who is in the stage of learning the doctrine, a full priest who can begin to spread the faith, a bishop or archbishop who serves as the head of a diocese.”

"The apprentice exorcist is also in the learning stage, the formal exorcist can independently exorcise demons and handle mysterious events, and the exorcist can lead a team and teach apprentices."

"One of them is responsible for proselytizing, and the other is responsible for suppressing and arresting abnormal individuals."

"Ultimately, both systems can be elevated to my disciples and enjoy divine grace according to their merits and devout faith."

"As for apostles, only those who are entrusted with a mission can serve as them."

Kotoko Higa, who had been listening in, stepped forward at the opportune moment. "Your Majesty, what about the name and doctrine of the Church, and the military force used to defend the Church?"

"The doctrine was written with the main themes of cleansing sins, judging evil, and opening a new world, and the armed forces protecting the faith..."

"The reorganization of the Rebirth Base, in addition to supplying the Cano Group, also needs to serve as a training ground for priests and exorcists."

"The elite soldiers (who had taken witchcraft potions) and black-armored soldiers (who had witchcraft potions and parasitic fusion) who were previously responsible for guarding the rebirth base have been reorganized. The elite soldiers have been renamed trainee Apocalypse Warriors, and the black-armored soldiers have been renamed full-fledged Apocalypse Warriors."

"The church is called the Church of Apocalypse."

……

When the Church of Apocalypse was first established, all its departments and systems were largely based on those of historical churches. As for whether it would be accused of plagiarism...

Christianity itself split from Judaism, and then split countless times. Protestant churches have rewritten their doctrines arbitrarily. What's wrong with the newly emerged Apocalyptic Church borrowing from it?
Although the Church of Apocalypse does not take the Bible as its main body and believes in the Spirit of God, the Sun God, and the Enlightened God, does that mean it has nothing to do with God?

Such compelling arguments.

Presumably, the Pope and others have no objections.

With this, the affairs of the Church of Apocalypse came to a temporary end, and Louis began to focus on familiarizing himself with divine power and spiritual practice, with spiritual practice being the primary focus.

He did not put the cart before the horse.

Ascending to godhood is merely a means to gain sufficient power to protect the path; his ultimate goal is not to become a god.

If one continues down this divine path, one might truly become the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit in the Trinity. This is incredibly powerful, potentially reaching or even surpassing the level of an ordinary god-king, achieving immortality and boundless majesty.

But this was not the result he wanted.

Let alone whether this will lead to a loss of self-will and self-freedom.

Comparing with deities.

The path to immortality, which is inherited from the Civil Code, is clearly broader and more boundless, with a higher ceiling and unlimited potential.

Between the two, is there even a question of which to choose?
Louis did have some ambition, after all.

Not content with being trapped in one world and being a local tyrant. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary matters. Ascending to godhood is only for protecting the Dao, the real purpose is still on the path to immortality. Now that the ascension to godhood has been achieved, all energy and resources should be concentrated on becoming an immortal.

"I am determined to obtain the Path to Immortality."

Louis thought to himself.

Currently, his cultivation level in the immortal path is still at the Yang God Realm. However, through his journey to the universe and the dream world to temper his heart, he has strengthened his resolve. Moreover, he has discovered that when he goes into the universe and comes into close contact with the moon, the power of the lunar essence becomes more pronounced.

Therefore, Louis plans to go into the universe to cultivate after he has become familiar with the power and made all the necessary arrangements. Ideally, he would build a palace on the moon to break through to the Pure Yang Realm with the help of the moon's power.

Once you reach the Pure Yang Realm, that place will also be useful. The moon is sometimes closer to the sun than the earth, and the power of the moon's essence and the power of the sun's essence can also help with the unity of Yin and Yang and breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that the moon will become his main place of spiritual practice in the future.

"The essence of the sun and moon, the unity of yin and yang, the Great Dao of the Primordial Spirit."

Having decided on his next route, Louis finally turned his attention back to the objects before him.

Five Great and Small Ghosts, Simple Altar, Mountain Spirit Realm, Six Great Magical Artifacts, Azure Spell Beads, Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror, Jingfeng Bead of the Eight Beads, Several Otherworldly Demon Crystals, Holy Nails, Zolfikar's Sword, A Small Branch of the World Tree, Urd's Spring...

Louis raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the huge pile of things.

Before he knew it, he had accumulated quite a lot, including many valuable items.

This world may seem modern, but it is actually full of traces of the mystical side. With the strength of its heritage, everything here is available for the taking and is a treasure.

In any other world with a great cultivation era, obtaining these things would likely require a fierce and bloody struggle; it's not that easy.

What a blessed place!

As Louis pondered, his thoughts drifted, and he began to think of hell.

If the present world is already like this, what must the legendary hell, which corresponds to and is linked to the present world, be like, boundless, extremely vast, and filled with demons and all kinds of mystical creatures?
Could it be an even bigger treasure trove?
Louis licked his lips.

I could only feel the demon-eating sorcery stirring within me.

Since becoming a Yang God, ordinary evil spirits' souls are no longer enough to satisfy him. Demons, due to the rules, are unable to come to the mortal world and can only cause trouble through projection. Even if they are destroyed, they are difficult to devour souls. As a result, Louis has not used this convenient and quick shortcut technique for a long time.

If, if one could go to hell, could one devour high-quality sinful souls to quickly replenish one's primordial spirit cultivation foundation and advance towards the peak...?

Louis took a deep breath, feeling that he had opened up a new idea: Hell might be an even greater treasure trove. Next, he needed to have someone find a reliable way to enter Hell.

Putting those thoughts aside for the moment, Louis turned his gaze to the objects.

His gaze lingered for a moment.

Louis began by working with the six magical artifacts, infusing them with his divine power to adapt to them.

Try to see if it can be used and enhanced.

To this end, Louis used two degrees of divine power, and a gray light enveloped the six magical artifacts.

To Louis's surprise, all six magical artifacts began eagerly absorbing the divine power.

Like a starving ghost that hasn't eaten in ages, it devours food madly without the slightest resistance. As for whether it can withstand it?
Perhaps the materials provided by the deity were of very high quality, or perhaps Louis did not exert enough divine power; in any case, all six magical artifacts were unharmed.

As they absorbed divine power, the six magical artifacts began to gradually change.

Gray lines began to appear on the coffin, which, instead of looking dilapidated, made it look even more eerie and sinister.

The Blood River Bead also showed a grayish tinge, located in the center of the bead. Upon closer inspection, it looked as if it had an extra, merciless eye.

The puppeteer's threads were even more peculiar; they simply vanished, becoming completely transparent and disappearing into the void, their presence only perceptible to Louis.

The Myriad Illusions Robe began to merge with the gray robe, gradually gaining a divine feel, giving rise to a sense of suppression, exorcism, and majesty.

The Soul-Suppressing Ruler began to grow thicker and heavier; just a glance at it could evoke a terrifying sense of holiness and judgment.

The last centipede bag was rather strange; it changed the least. Apart from having a bit more gray on its surface, it didn't change much in appearance and was probably useless.

After absorbing the divine power, the six magical artifacts had an even more significant characteristic: their spirituality had become stronger. At this moment, they all circled around Louis, trying to please him, like children who adored their father.

In Louis's perception, they hadn't even absorbed enough divine power and could continue to absorb it.

This surprised Louis.

One of the conditions for a divine artifact is that it can absorb enough divine power to undergo transformation. A powerful artifact is a major consumer of divine power. Now it seems that my six magical artifacts also have the potential to become powerful artifacts.

Thank you again, God.

After the altar is opened, we will also add your divine name and statue to the Church of Apocalypse.

From now on, the Apocalypse Church and the Zhaoming Shrine will be our lineage!
After a somewhat imperious, but still sincere, thank you, Louis began to deal with the remaining items.

Looking around, Louis decided to start with the easier tasks and move on to the more difficult ones.

Azure-green mantra beads.

This item was obtained from that sinful temple during my journey to Japan. It can absorb the vitality and fortune of the surroundings and transform them into a magical bead that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Its healing power is extraordinary.

This replenished Louis's repertoire of spells, which lacked treatment options at the time.

Later, Louis even inscribed its refining method into the [Sun God] system, allowing the Zhaoming Shrine to use it.

Now, Louis feels that it still has greater potential for use.

For example, if a bunch of inferior products are made and then distributed to priests to preach, those terminally ill patients and poor people who cannot afford medicine will thank the Church of Apocalypse for this.

Since ancient times, disease and injury have been the greatest enemies of mankind, and countless joys and sorrows, partings and reunions in the world have occurred because of them.

If someone could cure terminal illnesses such as cancer, organ failure, and leukemia, then he would undoubtedly become the most revered person in the world—no, a god!
The Church of Apocalypse, possessing the Azure Curse Beads and achieving similar effects, is destined to be invincible.

Furthermore, more effective spell beads can be distributed to exorcists and Apocalypse Warriors so they can use them in battle and ensure better combat effectiveness.

Besides these, there are many, many other uses...

This thing has too much hidden value.
