Amidst the crisp sound, everyone’s faces turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if falling into an ice cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if they had been startled awake from a smug dream, realizing the terrifying reality before them, and even seeing a more terrifying future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys really are, one by one, full of unique skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra grinned and sneered: \"Speak, why aren't you speaking? Weren't you speaking very loudly just now? Let me see, who else has some heart-shaking words to say? What other grievances and injustices are there to complain about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Saint, have mercy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a series of kneeling sounds, figure after figure trembled and prostrated on the ground, unable to speak anymore, leaving only the wretchedness and wailing of weeping and snot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fully expressing unbelievable terror, and even the annoyance of being kept in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much of it was acting, and how much was sincere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra lowered his eyes and looked down coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as a tulip bulb could be auctioned for an unbelievable price, an unremarkable thing could also climb to a height unreachable by ordinary people under the push of waves... But were those participants really stupid? Or rather, had they really not seen this predicted future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just felt that when it fell, they wouldn't be the ones falling, that’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a farce, everyone was equally 'shrewd', so much so that they were also 'stupid' just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heroic and controlling demeanor when successful, and the ignorance and annoyance of being kept in the dark when failing, were just alternative masks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They always had a choice, and could even go with the flow and choose both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was just stupidity, just ignorance, just wishful thinking, just a momentary misstep... Everyone knew in their hearts that as long as our hearts were good and our starting point was good, the order would certainly not be overly harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, that was the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew the magnanimity of the order... precisely because of this, they self-righteously committed such great evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neglecting divine affairs, basely selling divine grace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unremarkable Holy Seal in Idra’s hand had already been squeezed out of shape. Looking at the trash before him, he just wanted to throw them all into the abyss and burn them to ashes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how furious he was, he never flew into a rage, and could only grit his teeth and endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this juncture, clearing out this bunch of trash would only plunge the Eastern Diocese into greater chaos...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only settle accounts slowly afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top priority was to clear out all the believers who had used the Holy Seals, and never let the poison spread!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you, you, and you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand without looking and pointed randomly at four Chief Priests: \"Behead them, cast them into the abyss, and burn them for a hundred years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of the pointed-at Chief Priests turned paler, never having expected such a heavy punishment. One of them, who hadn't even been involved, screamed and wanted to speak, but was already pinned down by the angels on the spot, and then, his head was cut off and thrown into a red-hot box to keep company with the two unlucky ghosts who were late just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, half the meeting room was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chief Priests kneeling on the ground were already sweating profusely, trembling and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, when the Archbishop was sweating and trembling, he silently breathed a sigh of relief—since the Saint didn't deal with everyone in one go, it meant there was still room for maneuver, and he still had a chance to make up for his crimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he heard the Saint’s disposition for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forfeit the honor of audience, strip the crown of glory, and exile for fifty years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra said coldly: \"Considering the difficult situation, you are allowed to make up for your crimes, and the punishment is postponed. After this matter is over, we will judge you separately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archbishop kowtowed violently, so hard that his head broke and bled, almost laughing with joy... Making up for crimes is good, making up for crimes; even if he is judged after this matter is over, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, at the very least, his crime will be reduced by one level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death sentence becomes suspended death sentence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the consequences are still wretched, it is at least much, much better than being dealt with directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately afterward, a heart-wrenching pain erupted from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He groaned, almost screaming, but held it back tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Death penalty can be avoided, but living punishment is hard to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra lowered his eyes contemptuously, glancing at that stupid look of escaping a disaster, and flicked his finger. A wisp of sparks fell into the Archbishop’s body, turning into flames, silently burning his internal organs and bringing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the fire of the abyss is lit, unless divine grace pardons it, it will never go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archbishop trembled, cold sweat dripping, trying his best to suppress the urge to scream, and had to keep kowtowing, thanking the Saint for his magnanimity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were also, more or less, all dealt with, though some were allowed to make up for their crimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the disposition was finished, the Archbishop gathered the courage to ask: \"If the vacant cathedrals are left alone, it will certainly cause chaos. May I ask how the Saint will deal with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sobola, you take over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra reached out nonchalantly and pointed to the only old Chief Priest who hadn't participated in the Holy Seal incident, yet accurately called out his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the dull old Chief Priest couldn't react, and then, he kowtowed in ecstasy, praising the mercy of the Holy God and the Saint, accepting this test, and swearing to show his determination never to bring shame to the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the brief silence, the Archbishop couldn't help but glance at that guy, almost unable to restrain his jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m afraid that after this matter is over, Sobola will most likely take his place. After realizing this, the looks the other Chief Priests gave the old Chief Priest Sobola became instantly much more intimate, and they began to calculate how to defect and beg him to say a few good words for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint didn't have the patience to understand the thoughts of ants and bugs, and his gaze finally fell on the Chief Priest who first made the deal with the resistance camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even need to ask; the terrified Chief Priest confessed everything clearly like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, weeping and regretting his past, saying it was all because the resistance camp people were too cunning that he was controlled by others, and he made a mistake by not paying attention, only hoping the Saint would raise his hand high and give him a chance to make up for his crimes, seeing that his starting point was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the personal guard Saint entered and reported: \"Your Majesty, the circulation channels of the Holy Seals in the city have been basically identified. Should we act immediately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra sneered coldly: \"That bunch of guys hiding their heads and showing their tails must be killed in one blow. If the movement is too big, it will only make them scatter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, there is still a month left, let me play with these heretics!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, signaling the other irrelevant people to get out, and after taking down the Chief Priest who was crying and wanting to make up for his crimes and throwing him into the prison, he turned back and looked out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Cathedral of Sacrifice, the gathered believers were shouting and cheering fanatically, not knowing what had happened, and were now gathering with great sincerity in the big square, weeping and showing their piety and desire for blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ascetics whipped themselves again and again until they were covered in bloodstains, and others, regardless of the cost, lit bonfires and threw their offspring into the flames to offer burnt offerings...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All kinds of chaos, annoying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, most of them would be cleared out as sinners in the end, so why couldn't they just wait quietly and save him some trouble?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as a Saint, he couldn't come out to reprimand them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing his frowning look, the personal guard’s expression suddenly turned cold, \"Your Majesty, do you want me to disperse them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to bother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra withdrew his gaze coldly: \"Let’s go, let’s go back to the Saint’s Hall to rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the magnificent and solemn Cathedral of Sacrifice, the Holy Gate in the center, opened again amidst high-pitched roaring, and the believers outside became even more ecstatic, shouting and calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra glanced coldly, withdrew his gaze, and stepped on the steps toward the gorgeous chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, his movements paused for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up in astonishment at the believers cheering below the steps, and among the crowd, the only two figures who hadn't knelt to worship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So presumptuous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was tall, like a giant, with hands exposed outside the cloak carrying a faint iron light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was petite, like a young girl, yawning impatiently and complaining about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the brief silence, the tall one lowered his head, his lips moving under the hood, saying something to the person beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the girl seemed to laugh silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she reached out, lifted her hood, and toward Idra, revealed that face printed on who knows how many wanted posters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra’s pupils contracted instantly, and he subconsciously took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder erupted from the crowd, a loud noise roaring and spreading, sweeping through and tearing apart who knows how many eardrums. The gale and air waves whistled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately afterward, a scalp-numbing sharp sound erupted from the highest point of the cathedral!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like steel rubbing against steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So piercing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a spear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A buzzing spear had already wedged into the iron stone, piercing through the Holy Gate of the Cathedral of Sacrifice, like a nail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging an irrelevant remnant body, buzzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip, drip, drip...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viscous blood slowly seeped from the pierced remnant body, winding down along the gorgeous reliefs on the gate, staining large areas of the sacred statues scarlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Saint, Idra!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deathly silence, in the sudden deathly silence, everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring blankly at the scene before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the first scream erupted from the crowd, and then, the shouts of fear and shock grew like a tide, quickly expanding in all directions, drowning everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weeping, fleeing in terror, standing still on the spot, the crowded square instantly turned into a pot of chaos, and amidst the fleeing crowd, Ji Jue finally reached out and took off the hood on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the scene ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly, a feast for the eyes! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly is a feast for the eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>",1879,"2026-06-17T22:31:55.254Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6369136e0e3e62f6673b06a4a20b4c1b1b05abf3421c63789162944d7b6cba0b","above-the-heavenly-fate-chapter-453","above-the-heavenly-fate-chapter-451",461,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabove-the-heavenly-fate-cover.jpg"]
