Such a large organization can’t even handle such a basic matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Luo Quan thought about it, the angrier she became, but eventually she calmed down—anger was useless now; she needed to think about what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tewasor called her soon after: “Miss Luo Quan, things have changed—the Saintess has apparently spilled everything under netizens’ questioning; we haven’t even had time to prepare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve seen it,” Luo Quan said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what should we do now?” Tewasor sensed her displeasure and lowered his voice cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What can we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan sighed deeply. What could she do now? Could she turn into a shrew and scream at everyone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t that crude, nor would she blame the Saintess for telling the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, it was the Dawn Church’s first-response incompetence that caused this entire chain of problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had thought of a remedy, it was too late—her identity was exposed; the Dawn Church could still pretend to be dead, but now all public attention would fixate on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to apologize. I’m not petty enough to blame anyone over this. Let’s leave it at that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan hung up with Tewasor and checked her comment section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good—this Holy Mother business wasn’t negative news; netizens were merely curious, driven by their investigative spirit, eager to uncover the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth came out so fast that netizens hadn’t even realized she planned to go silent—they all hoped she would step forward and speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after a night’s rest, Luo Quan opened her livestream, ready to talk with netizens about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday’s livestream had nowhere near the popularity of today—viewership more than quintupled, and the chat was flooded with greetings like “Holy Mother, good morning” and “Good morning, my Holy Mother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know whether these people were just trolling or genuinely reverent believers greeting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But either way, Luo Quan could only accept it all—she raised her hand to the camera and waved: “Good morning, everyone. Did you sleep well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to Holy Mother, I slept like a baby.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been waiting all day to hear you talk—I couldn’t sleep a wink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two upstairs should just fight already.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are you feeling now, Holy Mother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How am I feeling?” Luo Quan chuckled at the question. “Honestly, I still doubt this identity. When the Dawn Church first approached me, I was the one who told them to keep it quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because I never intended to accept this role—I didn’t want it to disrupt my life. But I never expected someone would accidentally guess it. Funny, really.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This answer surprised everyone—they hadn’t expected Luo Quan to reject such a revered title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an extraterrestrial with no privileged background, this was a golden chance to rise to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the title grants no real power, its status is truly second only to the Pope—when even the Pope meets her, he must kneel and respectfully call her Holy Mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless people envy her this position, yet she refuses it, even resists it—this was utterly incomprehensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing netizens’ confusion, Luo Quan had her reasons:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imagine someone suddenly coming up to you and saying, ‘No matter if you marry or not, you will definitely get pregnant and give birth to a child.’ How would you feel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of forced imposition on personal will is what I hate most—even if it brought unimaginable benefits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her explanation, netizens began to understand Luo Quan’s perspective:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, even as a guy, I think this is ridiculous—I could never accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A guy being Holy Mother is absurd.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, not everyone craves wealth and status. A simple, quiet life is fine too—if I had to get pregnant and give birth for no reason just to gain power, I’d refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now you can’t refuse anymore. Old Wang didn’t analyze it—outsiders to the Dawn Church wouldn’t know. Now the secret’s out; believers won’t pretend nothing happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Breaking news: multiple chapels have added a prayer segment for the Holy Mother. Believers have no objections.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a believer, I have no objections either—this Holy Mother is so beautiful, I’m even thinking of switching faiths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtual networks give people the courage to speak freely—had these same words been spoken in real life, the Dawn Church’s Inquisition would have immediately sent troops to arrest and execute them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such blasphemous remarks are outright desecration of the Dawn Holy Mother—ten burnings wouldn’t purify his sins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it’s on the virtual internet, no one bears responsibility for such speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan herself, having experienced even wilder livestreams on Earth, hadn’t realized anything was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the chat began switching from “Holy Mother” to calling her “Mommy” did she sense something off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, believers calling the Holy Mother “Mother” or “Mom” is normal—her predecessor, when preaching and spreading faith, was addressed as “Mother” by crowds around her, and the tone was perfectly natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was because her predecessor was over a thousand years old, looking little different from an eighty-year-old Earth woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that age, being called “Mom” is fine—even “Grandma” wouldn’t be strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this new Holy Mother looks barely twenty—yet she’s being called “Mom” by people her own age, or even older—this visual was just bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re accepting this identity more easily than I am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan looked at the chat, laughing and crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen was full of absurd lines: “Mom, I’m hungry,” “Mom, I’m cold,” “Mom, hug me”—these childish pleas from grown men in their twenties and thirties made her skin crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like filial piety, but Luo Quan felt their filial devotion had already turned rotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent it from rotting further, she cut in firmly: “Stop it, everyone. I feel weird being called this—I haven’t even accepted this title yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiahia, you don’t get a say anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Becoming Dawn Holy Mother is an objective fact—everyone from the Pope to the faithful has accepted it. Stop fooling yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Being a spiritual anchor for believers isn’t a bad thing. You can be like Saintess Fafreya—do good deeds, don’t ask for rewards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well said—but why do I feel you’re doing this to satisfy some weird fetish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely not! (Straight face.jpg)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, this is the first time in my life I’ve called a young, beautiful woman ‘Mother’—it’s a strange, wonderful experience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inquisition: Keep talking. I’m listening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People like you won’t make it to heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t help it—it’s all the Holy Mother’s fault. She’s just too beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens’ remarks had, without doubt, blocked Luo Quan’s path to becoming a sex symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yanqing had said that sex symbols in entertainment are female stars who walk a sexy route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her looks and figure, once she starred in films, she’d inevitably be labeled a sex symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, no need to worry—this problem was solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Dawn Holy Mother, she now carried innate buffs of purity, kindness, and innocence—no one would dare call her a sex symbol anymore, or believers would come after her with cleavers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One might say: misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was forced to accept the title “Holy Mother,” she gained a legion of loyal fans who would defend her reputation—if she faced trouble later, they’d come to her aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it wasn’t so bad—if the Dawn Church didn’t use this title to force her into things she didn’t want to do, it could be considered a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a saying: life is like a QB—when you can’t resist, you might as well enjoy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never intended to accept the “Holy Mother” title, but the Dawn Church, as if deliberately, leaked the news, forcing her to admit it to netizens and fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, she had no choice but to accept it—truly like fate, impossible to resist or escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the most critical issue is pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan asked the system about the possibility of such a thing happening, and received the reply that under its surveillance, no force could possibly bypass its defenses—she could rest easy with complete confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, Luo Quan’s confidence surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to extraterrestrial religious organizations, her own system was far more trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, how to handle these fans whose devotion had turned toxic was a problem that left her deeply exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, these people were probably just joking or playing along with memes, but as they kept going, they seemed to have started believing it themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>",1958,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dab57f5e4c439f6f86779ce14fe7d743d60c34ab81e0d9214e104ca2ec0f62e7","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-989","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-987",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
