In any case, everything in Dawn City is proceeding according to Su Li's will.
As far as the result is concerned, he has indeed kept everyone in the city alive... but as far as the process is concerned, the living conditions of these believers are in a state of constant torment.
Because Su Li is trying.
He originally had an indifferent attitude towards believers, so he never seriously considered how to preach.
But now his wife and children are Shinto gods, and because Mang Chang was deprived of her old position as a righteous god and the priesthood of the God of Winter and the God of Ice and Snow, it is not difficult to re-consolidate the position for her, but how to shape it
The new clergy with great potential is something worth noting.
The shortcomings of the Abyss believers manifested themselves at this time... Although their faith is extremely pure and without any bias, it also means that it is difficult to bring new priesthoods to their gods.
The priesthood is actually initially an expectation that intelligent beings have for the gods under their own selfish desires. If the gods can satisfy it and are willing to satisfy it, they can be shaped into a priesthood.
And if he wanted to achieve the level of recreating the priesthood, he had to let Mang Chang spread his faith in the mortal world again... Su Li was a little worried about the girl's ability to spread her faith, so he decided to do some research on his own as a last resort...
It really broke my old father's heart.
So after he determined the general direction to ensure the survival of these people, he started a series of attempts...or in other words, 'playing' with these believers.
He was playing with people's hearts. He wanted to know under what circumstances these people's hearts could provide the most pious faith... He began to use the Lord of the Inner Demon's ability to manipulate people's hearts to preach.
So he found that he couldn't be too nice to these believers, because if he was too nice to them, they would lose their awe.
What believers need is a master who can decide their destiny, not a good friend who can discuss everything with them.
Moreover, a believer’s life cannot be too smooth and comfortable. Comfort and success will make them arrogant and gradually forget the greatness of God.

Therefore, God cannot obey believers in everything, cannot respond to every request, and often sets up some suffering and torture for these believers.
Then let them not forget to pray during difficult times, and give them some hope for change... Then they can almost gain a devout believer. At least for a period of time, piety can be guaranteed.
So the people of Dawn City began to be tormented by Su Li. He followed Tang Peng's wishes and reduced the direct food gifts, but let Tang Peng bear the grievances of the people.
Then from time to time, we will reduce production or something...
This makes it possible that in the past five years, the people of Dawn City have always been struggling on the poverty line, but they can always be saved by divine grace in the most difficult times.
So in this case, the belief of a single output rises straight up.
But poverty also brings another problem, that is, slow population growth, which seems to limit the upper limit of belief?
So he selected the most pious ones, so that their fields' harvests would increase, and some succulent flowers would occasionally grow in their fields to encourage them.
So under this situation, everyone burst out with amazing enthusiasm and began to pray in the most pious way.
They have all accepted the "severe beating" of reality, and now they know the value of this divine grace.
So their life finally prospered with gratitude... This was the dual result of their own efforts and the gift of God, and they were convinced of it.
Tang Zhen was extremely helpless about this situation. In the past ten years, he could not even prevent his citizens from rapidly 'degrading' and living a seemingly positive life but in fact they were bowing to the 'devil'.
Within these ten years, he cleared all the islands where Dawn City was located, and no more Rakshasa ravaged the island.
But his heart could not be at peace, because he felt that there was another 'devil' living in his heart who was no more terrible than Rakshasa.
He felt very powerless... He could protect the lives of the people in Dawn City, but he could not control their thoughts.
He wanted to lead the citizens back to normal life, but his citizens gradually regarded him as a cruel ruler. All their sufferings came from his mistakes. Instead, they regarded the 'devil' as a cruel ruler.
God worship.
Tang Yan's heart was filled with the misery of not being understood, and even the Knights of the Dawn, who had followed him in his conquests over the past ten years and gradually cleared the island where Dawn City was located, were actually full of doubts about him.
He constantly instilled the 'demon threat theory' into these comrades, telling them that what he possessed was the power of the devil, and letting them know that from the moment they had power, their souls no longer belonged to him... and so on.
But the problem is that his comrades gradually began to doubt and even question Tang Zhen's theory... How could there be such a good demonic power!
Not only are the effects of light and shadow excellent when the ability is used, but it is also extremely sacred at first glance.
Moreover, looking at what the so-called ‘devil’ or ‘devil’ does, it is obvious that he is leading people to do good and make progress.
Ten years have passed, and I haven't seen that being actually do anything bad... Even if a great being is evil in nature, he is very good to his followers, so for the believers, this is...
The only true God who is great and just!
So here comes the question, what is the situation of Tang Clan, who is bathed in the strongest divine grace, but has been ‘slandering’ God?
Su Li was also very curious about this man's mentality... Obviously after accepting his demon seed, he had become a very devout believer in his heart.
But this Tang Zhen clearly believed in Su Li, but he was worried that others also believed in Su Li... This conflicting mood caused him to be entangled for ten years, and also allowed him to always maintain his sense of independence.
In comparison, his comrades-in-arms, the Knights of the Dawn, which has now expanded to 200 people, have all "fallen" and become his loyal followers.
In this situation, Tang Zhen, who seemed to be the only one who was 'awake', felt extremely lonely.
Finally, on this night ten years later, when he was sure that he had killed the last Rakshasa on the island where Dawn City was located, he set his sights on the distance to the west of the coast.
Judging from the divine skill of 'detecting evil' given to him by Su Li, we can know that there is still an aura of evil there, and there may be countless Rakshasa and even more terrifying existences than Rakshasa.
"My Lord, where are you?" He suddenly prayed in his heart.
Su Li suddenly felt very interesting. What is this feeling of 'martyr'?
So out of boredom, he responded: "What do you want from me?"
Tang Zhen hurriedly prayed 'devoutly': "Back then, my Lord allowed me the power to rescue the people of the city... Now that Dawn Island has been recovered, it is time for me to return to the embrace of my Lord."
Su Li heard the many interesting things hidden in this "piety" and couldn't help but start to have fun again.
So he said: "Do you have no regrets anymore?"
Tang Zhen looked back at the city where he had lived all his life and responded bitterly: "I am already a redundant person."
"Then you can come." Su Li responded lightly, and then responded with a picture to Tang Zhen.
Su Li himself was seen lying gracefully on his side on a simple yet elegant Hu bed, with a leisurely expression as if he could see through the picture all the way to the bottom of Tang Yan's heart.
But when Tang Zhen's heart tightened, the picture zoomed out sharply...
But he saw that the bed was actually suspended in the middle of a giant array that exuded an evil feeling... And when Tang Yan looked at the array, he felt as if there were countless pairs of terrifying eyes on the other side.
Just looking over...
Tang Zhen almost suffocated.
But the picture continued to zoom out, and he saw a place where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, like a fairyland. This made Tang Zhen feel relieved again, but he still felt full of doubts.
But as the screen continued to zoom out, he saw a hellish dead forest!
In this dead forest, not only the dead trees seemed to be monsters, but there were also many monsters wandering there that seemed like they should only live in hell.
Thinking back to the huge formation under Su Li's bed earlier, Tang Zhen swallowed hard, as if he had discovered the 'reality' of this world.
Then the screen zoomed out again, and he saw the coastline of the island and the shapes of many islands along the way... Finally, the perspective returned to his own eyes.
He turned his head in shock and looked in another direction... There, the master who gave him power was in that direction, on an island full of demons!
Tang Zhen fell silent.
He knelt on one knee on the shore and thought about it all night, then turned around and left in the light of dawn with a resolute expression.
Then he once again summoned the original eleven Knights of the Dawn... Now this group of people, including him, are called the Twelve Knights in the Order.
They are the decision-makers of the Knights of Dawn and the highest decision-makers of Dawn City.
In the past ten years, these eleven people have been regarded as high-ranking people, but they are also the most powerful people in the Knights of the Dawn besides Tang Zhen.
He looked at them, thinking about the picture in his mind, but he was preparing to tell the biggest lie in his life.
He said: "I just received a revelation that my Lord is in prison and is besieged by the demons of infinite hell on the Devil's Island in the west."
"We are deeply blessed by God, and we must share our worries for God on this occasion... I have decided to lead the Knights of the Dawn in an expedition to the Alcatraz Island. Are you willing to help me?"
Ask directly if you are willing to help him instead of asking if it is okay...which means that he has already made up his mind...
The next step will naturally be a round of voting among the Twelve Knights of Dawn.
Su Li, on the other hand, was watching all this happen with a smile on the "Alcatraz Island" in Tang Yan's mouth.
His interesting tool man is about to come to his door... It just so happens that he has also prepared a gift for this useful believer that he can't refuse. He doesn't know when Tang Zhen sees this gift given to him.
What will your expression be after you prepare a gift?
It will be fun!
Su Li also realized that he had changed. He obviously didn't like to test human nature before... but now, he found it very interesting and wanted to see what these people he chose would do when faced with the choice of human nature.
