Chapter 5: The Founder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Heavenly God Douluo!
Meng Xinghe looked at the Martial Soul Awakening Certificate in his hand. This thing was somewhat similar to the Soul Master's Manual issued by the Spirit Hall.
It records the Soul Master's name, Martial Soul, innate Soul Power, and Awakening Time.
On the cover of the Awakening Certificate, the four archangels are positioned in the four corners, jointly guarding a huge golden eye in the very center.
"That is the Eye of the Gods, symbolizing His Majesty the God Douluo, the founder of the Holy Spirit Cult."
Seeing Meng Xinghe staring into the golden eyes, the old assistant priest explained in a gentle tone, but when he mentioned the Heavenly God Douluo, a trace of fanatical faith flashed in his aged eyes.
Meng Xinghe remained silent, only glancing up at his fanatical followers.
No, who told you that the Eye of God is golden?
My eyes are clearly blue! They symbolize the blue of the sky!
Well, ignorance is no excuse, and he's a magnanimous person, so I won't hold it against him.
Later, when the old acolyte learned that he had helped the Celestial God Douluo awaken his martial soul and had even touched the Celestial God Douluo's head, he was so excited that he fainted on the spot and almost didn't wake up.
"I've heard of the legend of the Celestial God Douluo."
Meng Xinghe reacted like a normal child, with a hint of admiration and awe appearing on his face.
After 20,000 years of missionary work by the Holy Spirit Cult, the founder, God Douluo, became even more famous than Sea God Tang San.
In the hearts of ordinary people, the prestige of the Heavenly God Douluo undoubtedly surpasses that of the Sea God Tang San.
In the eyes of those in high positions, both God Douluo and Tang San have their own merits; they either like them or they don't.
A federation with a total population of over six billion cannot possibly be without people with differing views.
It should be understood that even in Heaven there are factions, let alone on Earth.
Upon seeing this, the old assistant priest's smile became even more amiable.
Praise be to the God! The great God Douluo has gained another follower of a genius Soul Master.
The followers of God Douluo are not only the clergy of the Holy Spirit Cult, but also anyone who is inclined to join the Holy Spirit Cult but cannot join because they do not meet the requirements. They are followers of the Holy Spirit Cult and believe in God Douluo.
Donations from believers are also the main source of income for the Holy Spirit Church.
The old acolyte, caught up in the excitement, launched into a long and detailed account of the legend of the Celestial God Douluo, and Meng Xinghe could only listen quietly from the side.
As he listened, he himself became a little embarrassed.
The legendary Celestial God Douluo was practically a flawless and benevolent being, a benevolent being with a sword in hand, and a benevolent being who dared to use the sword in his hand to defend justice.
If the Celestial God Douluo hadn't stepped in to quell the chaos back then, the Holy Spirit Cult would have been destroyed by those forces at the time, who labeled it as a remnant of the Spirit Hall.
In that case, the common people at the bottom of the mainland would once again fall into the predicament of having no one to help them awaken their martial spirit.
Over time, they will not even know what a martial soul is, and will think that people do not have martial souls. Even if they know about martial souls, they will think that not everyone has one.
Due to the unique circumstances of the era, the strength of the Celestial Douluo remains a mystery to this day.
As for the reason, in the era when the Holy Spirit Cult was born, there were no Limit Douluos in the Soul Master world, and the number of Super Douluos could be counted on one hand.
Among the titled Douluos that the Celestial God Douluo forcefully suppressed, the one with the highest cultivation level was only level 95.
Therefore, some people speculate that the God Douluo may be the Limit Douluo, but it is more likely that he is just a Super Douluo.
That's not wrong, really. Meng Xinghe's combat power at the time did not reach the threshold of Limit Douluo.
However, at that time he was a soul beast, not a soul master, so these guesses are fundamentally wrong.
Moreover, he knew that there were no Limit Douluo at that time before he founded the Holy Spirit Cult. Otherwise, would you think he was stupid?
If any Limit Douluo were to participate in the operation to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult, then we would be doomed.
"I'm not that perfect, but then again, which legendary figure isn't perfect? In the hearts of those who believe in the sea god, isn't the image of the sea god perfect?"
"It's all for our faith!"
Meng Xinghe asked himself, why support a faction? It was to gather the power of faith.
The power of faith accumulated over 20,000 years is the greatest source of his confidence in creating his own divine position!
Whether it's the Holy Spirit Cult or the Spirit Pagoda, they have all the accumulated power of faith in their own hands.
After a long while, the old priest finished telling the legend of the gods with lingering enthusiasm. Looking at the child in front of him, he said apologetically, "Oh dear, old people tend to be long-winded. Child, don't mind it."
"I don't mind, I like listening to it..."
……
As Meng Xinghe walked out of the St. Donghai Church, he looked at the Spirit Transmission Tower across the street.
Although they are said to be right next to each other, the Holy Spirit Church and the Donghai Spirit Pagoda are actually separated by a wide road, with a wide street on each side of the road.
St. Donghai Church and Donghai Spirit Pagoda stand facing each other across the bustling traffic.
"Spirit Pagoda, here I come."
After the pedestrian light turned green, Meng Xinghe crossed the road and entered the Donghai Chuanling Pagoda.
In the lobby on the first floor, a six-year-old child walked in. Just as the receptionist was about to say something, she saw the child place the awakening certificate on the table.
Upon seeing this, she, who had worked at the Spirit Pagoda for several years, almost instinctively flipped open the Awakening Certificate. After reading the information on it, her face instantly filled with a genuine smile as she looked at the child in front of her.
Good heavens! A promotion and raise opportunity has actually come knocking on her door. She must seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance.
"Little Meng Xinghe, this way please, I'll take you to the VIP room."
Taking back the awakening certificate handed back to him by the receptionist, Meng Xinghe thought to himself:
I must say, the Holy Spirit Cult's proof of awakening is actually quite useful.
It's a well-established brand, so no one would doubt that the Holy Spirit Cult's awakening proof information is fake.
If so, it means someone forged the Holy Spirit Church's awakening certificate, and the Inquisition's judges are already on their way.
In the Holy Spirit Church, only bishops and higher-ranking clergy are qualified to join the Inquisition, and bishops must have a spiritual level no lower than that of a Soul Saint.
No one would risk having a Holy Spirit Cult clergyman, whose cultivation level is at least Soul Saint, "visit" them to forge the Holy Spirit Cult's awakening certificate.
Because the benefits are disproportionate to the risks, the losses outweigh the gains.
Riding in the VIP elevator, Meng Xinghe arrived at a luxuriously furnished room without any hindrance. Every corner of the room exuded the wealth and power of the Spirit Pagoda, and even the air smelled sweet.
It wasn't a problem with my sense of smell, but rather that the air was filled with a specially made fragrance that was both elegant and luxurious, and at a very suitable concentration, so it wasn't overpowering.
The receptionist chatted with Meng Xinghe for a while, and then the door to the VIP room opened, revealing a tall, aloof, and icy beauty.
Upon recognizing the person, a hint of surprise flashed in the receptionist's eyes, and she quickly bowed and greeted them.
"Greetings, Tower Master."
"Hmm, well done. The front desk job isn't suitable for you anymore. I'll have someone transfer you to another department."
As the icy beauty spoke, she gave the receptionist a look.
She instantly understood, and left the VIP room with great joy, not forgetting to thank them as she left:
"Thank you for your guidance, Tower Master!"
"Wrong, it's about cultivation within the Spirit Pagoda, and individual performance."
"Ice Queen corrected me."
"The tower master's teachings are about the cultivation of individuals within the Spirit Transmission Tower."
The receptionist humbly accepted the criticism and then left briskly.
