"Resurrection? You mean, you gained the ability to resurrect believers?" the priest said unexpectedly.

"Yes, our dead companions will all adhere to God's will and return to us." Wu Xiaode said.

The priest said: "You are driving -"

"The dead are resurrected!" Wu Xiaode read directly.

In an instant, a man emerged from the void and stood in front of everyone.

He was wearing a long crimson robe, with a holy symbol hanging on his chest. His expression was serious, and his whole body exuded power fluctuations.

—Cardinal!

Everyone was shocked.

The priest also opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

"I am already sleeping in the kingdom of death, but God says - you need me." the cardinal said with a smile.

In complete silence, he saluted everyone and stood next to Wu Xiaode.

"One is not enough, we need more helpers." Wu Xiaode said.

Before he finished speaking, the sky flashed, and another person appeared in front of everyone.

archbishop!

Everyone became noisy.

The archbishop walked up to the priest, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Both the gods and the believers need you, but at this moment, it is not the time for you to serve as the pope."

Wu Xiaode was a little surprised.

From the looks of it, this is still an old acquaintance.

This is good. You have an acquaintance and are easy to talk to. It is best to convince the priest directly to avoid taking action later.

After all, he has the power bestowed by the One-Eyed Giant. If he dies, it will be difficult if the One-Eyed Giant goes berserk.

The priest stared at the archbishop carefully for a while and suddenly said: "Seven years ago, what did you say to me on the day I entered the church?"

"I said from now on, I will take care of you and let you learn everything about the Holy Religion. The Holy Religion is your home." The Archbishop said.

The priest sighed and said: "It's really you."

"Of course it's me, and not just me," the Archbishop said.

He turned around and walked away, standing behind Wu Xiaode.

The eyes of the priest and Wu Xiaode met.

"I want to become the Pope, gain more power, and help more dead people to resurrect." Wu Xiaode said sincerely.

"But according to the oracle, only the strongest among us is qualified to become the Pope." The priest said unwillingly.

The crowd suddenly became noisy.

Many people had knelt down, facing Wu Xiaode, and chanted the classics loudly.

More and more people are joining this ranks.

The dead are resurrected!

If everyone can come back to life after death, then what is there to be afraid of?

You can just go up and fight the monster!

The priest looked at the crowd around him and sighed secretly.

What's the point of becoming the Pope if no one supports you?

"As I said before, when I complete the matter of resurrecting the dead, I will abdicate directly. At that time, the position of pope will naturally be yours, and I will assist you." Wu Xiaode said.

"Really? You have to understand that everyone is listening to your promise." The priest said.

Wu Xiaode opened his arms and said to everyone: "I hereby promise that once the resurrection of the dead is completed, I will pass on the position of pope to him! Because he is the strongest!"

Everyone cheered.

In this case, there will be no more contradictions in the Holy Religion!

We can finally unite!

The priest also smiled.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to argue about.

"You have such an important mission, so I hope you can complete it," the priest said.

Wu Xiaode nodded.

"Everyone, the current situation is very dangerous. I suggest that the papal succession ceremony can start immediately." A bishop said.

"Yes, the inheritance incantation requires a total of nine most devout believers to recite it before the ritual is activated." Another believer said.

"Not just the nine of us, we all chant," the priest said proactively.

At this moment, my future status has been determined, and it is not easy to do anything else. On the contrary, it is the moment to show my grace.

He walked to the Pope's body and joined the procession of chanting the incantation.

Along with everyone chanting, the red scepter gradually separated from the pope's body.

It floats gently, emitting rounds of light in a fixed rhythm.

Lines of small words in ice crystals immediately appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"With the pious blessings of all believers, the vicious curse wrapped around the scepter can be unlocked, so that the power of the scepter can be awakened."

"But it has another curse."

"This heavy curse is wrapped around the scepter and will only take effect under a very special situation, so there is no need to worry."

"Now you can get it."

And a curse?

But since it's extremely special, don't worry about it.

I'm not special at all.

Wu Xiaode stepped forward and grabbed the scepter.

at the same time.

The white tiger pressed his paw lightly on the ground.

…

On the battlefield outside the city wall.

A dead monster suddenly opened its eyes.

It was confused for a while, and then gradually understood something.

The monster got up from the ground and ran towards the mountains in the distance. After a while, it rushed to the top of the mountain.

In this mountain, there is a group of powerful monsters that are resting.

There is also a giant snake hundreds of meters long in the mountain col.

"Ouch-ouch!"

the monster shouted.

The resting giant snake slowly opened its eyes.

"Hiss?" the giant snake asked, spitting out the letter.

"Ouch!" the monster shouted excitedly.

The giant snake thought for a moment and began to swim away.

It climbed out of the mountain stream and flew towards the city at the foot of the mountain.

The other monsters were not as fast, but they also started to move.
Chapter completed!
