Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

CHAPTER 577: Upgrading

Zhao Hai recalled the actions of the Church of Light from before and realized that they seemed to have some ulterior motive. They suppressed the alien races, stifled their sects, and controlled the aristocrats; these were not actions that an ordinary church could take, yet they did all of them. If they were merely doing this out of their own volition, it would be difficult to believe.

Every sect has its own mission, but one must not forget that rules are dead while people are alive. Anyone has a motive; those without motives are either saints or fools.

Since its establishment, the Church of Light has changed popes numerous times. Would they continuously suppress alien races and other churches without reason? It is known that neither suppressing alien races nor other sects can be achieved overnight. The Church of Light has been doing this over many generations, which is indeed hard to justify.

However, if the Church of Light's actions were directed by a divine-level expert, that would change the situation. Even if a divine-level expert could not descend personally like the God of Craftsmen, they could still issue divine mandates. This way, those in the Church of Light would act according to what was said in the divine mandate.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, but he couldn't discuss this with Billy and Juno yet. Setting aside their reactions, if this news were to leak and outsiders learned about it, it would create even more trouble.

At this moment, Billy and Juno were still discussing matters concerning the Church of Light, but Zhao Hai could no longer focus on their conversation. He wanted to discuss his speculations with Laura and the others to hear their opinions.

Billy and Juno noticed that Zhao Hai's expression was off, and Billy quickly asked, “Mr. Zhao Hai, what's wrong?”

Zhao Hai snapped back to reality, glanced at Billy and Juno, and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, just feeling a bit tired. I'm heading back to rest. If anything comes up, just send someone to find me in my room."

Billy and Juno thought he was just tired from using spatial superpower, and Billy said, “Sir, do you want us to call our dwarf clan's physician to take a look at you?”

Zhao Hai shook his head, “No need. I'm just a bit tired. I didn't sleep well last night, and after drinking today and using my powers, I feel a bit exhausted. It's fine; I'll just rest for a while.”

Billy and Juno hurriedly agreed. Zhao Hai then turned and left, returning to his room. Laura and the others were not in the room, so Zhao Hai quickly entered the spatial area and immediately had Cai'er notify Laura and the others to return.

Laura and the others had not gone far; they had just arrived at the dwarf clan and were feeling quite curious. They were wandering around under the guidance of a dwarf woman.

Zhao Hai sat in the spatial area, calmly pondering Billy and Juno's previous words. He also had Cai'er take out the intelligence they had gathered over the years about the Church of Light for a careful examination.

They found that the Church of Light, over the years, was not just frantically accumulating wealth. In fact, the bishops and popes of the Church of Light had begun to enjoy life. Previously, the popes and bishops did not enjoy such luxuries. At that time, they still courted some nobles, but most of the money they obtained was used to suppress alien races or other things. Their popes and bishops lived quite frugally, and several popes died without any possessions.

The actions of the Church of Light were somewhat unreasonable. A generation of church leaders might have suppressed alien races due to past grudges, which is understandable, but with successive generations doing the same, preferring to live a harsh life to suppress alien races was puzzling.

Moreover, because generations of church leaders acted this way, alien races gradually stopped appearing on the human continent. On this continent, the Church of Light became the dominant sect. Although it wasn't as prominent as it was now, the other sects were already subtly following the Church of Light.
