Chapter 13: Offer Your Faith

  "Alright, don't cry, Big Brother Dan treasures you all and won't let your tears fall!"

  Ye Huan gently wiped away the tears of these girls, then he raised his head and his gaze swept across the faces of his classmates one by one.

  He met their gaze with terror, panic, and of course some classmates who were quite close to him were filled with confidence. Ye Huan nodded, "Classmates, I see your expressions and understand your thoughts... Brother Dan's kindness told us that every good soul must have the clothes they wear, the place they live in, you are all Brother Dan's most beloved children, should receive Brother Dan's protection! But, the college actually wants to deprive you of your land, making you homeless, suffering from hunger and cold, and dying..."

  As he said this, more girls bowed their heads and sobbed, Ye Huan also lowered his head in pain, but just a few seconds later, he suddenly raised his head, "For the kind-hearted, we have a forgiving heart, for the evil, we also have swords and armor in our hands! Classmates, are you willing to be oppressed by the strong?

  These few words have used a little bit of hypnotic power, and the atmosphere of the classmates was immediately stirred up, shouting: "Unwilling!"

  Ye Huan's voice grew louder, "Are you convinced now?"

  "Not convinced!"

  "Do you dare to resist?"

  “……”

  Very uncooperatively, the students fell silent for a moment.

  They are just students after all, if they had the courage to confront the college, they wouldn't be forced to this point. But Ye Huan's continuous and gradual questioning has already stirred up the atmosphere, and several hot-headed students shouted out loud, followed by more and more students echoing in agreement, until the voices of hundreds of people merged into one, "We dare!"

  "So... " Ye Huan slowed down her tone, "Are you willing to surrender under Dang Ge's command?"

  Huh?

  The classmates were immediately stunned.

  The Heavenly Father's divine spirits are countless, commonly seen are sixty or seventy, so among these five to six hundred students, most of them have their own different beliefs. Ye Huan inciting them to rebel, no problem, leading them to resist, even less of a problem, but wanting to unify their thoughts, making them convert under the same angel's command...

  A girl stood out and raised her head coldly, "I don't understand, what does the struggle within the college have to do with surrendering to Brother Dan?"

  "What's wrong?" Ye Huan looked surprised, "The Heavenly Father once said that the many gods under his seat should each occupy their own position and be in charge of their own affairs. If you want to pray for light, you should go to the Sun God, if you want to pray for merit, you should look for the War God. By the same token, if you want to be saved today, you naturally have to rely on the Savior, the Heavenly Messenger Dang Ge!"

  "That is to say, only by relying on Dang Ge can one obtain your help, right?"

  The girl sneered coldly, and the desperate eyes with some pain seemed to say that she used to be very respectful of Ye Huan, but she was also a fanatic believer. Anyone who tried to change her faith would become her enemy... and Ye Huan, the great hero in her heart, was no exception!

  Take a look at other classmates, they all have similar expressions.

  Yue Huan forcibly unified their thoughts, which really enraged these fanatics. However... without changing their beliefs, how can they be considered as carrying the banner of the dawn brother, and how can they gain glory?

  Ye Huan took a deep breath and said coldly: "It seems that you, fellow student, are prepared to refuse to surrender under Dangong's command?"

  "I, Nie Xiu Luo, am a believer of the Ice Goddess, and only a believer of the Ice Goddess!"

  The girl picked up a handful of snow from the ground and dotted it on her forehead, left shoulder, and right shoulder. This was a religious ritual to express piety. "Yehuan, since you only help those who believe in Dangge, then I refuse, I don't need your help, nor do I care about Dangge's protection!"

  As she spoke, she stared coldly at Ye Huan and retreated step by step to the door of her dormitory that was about to be demolished.

  Under her leadership, more than 100 students left at once!

  Damn it! The first time I preach, I was rejected by someone. This made Ye Huan's face burn with anger and what's even more frightening is that the remaining four hundred or so classmates are mostly hesitant, it seems that in a few minutes there will be even more people leaving...

  It's time to take some drastic measures!

  Ye Huan gritted his teeth and suddenly raised a finger, "Shura classmate, I respect your faith, but unfortunately, I have to tell you that you have lost the protection of Brother Dan. And... one gold coin!" He almost shouted: "At this time, in this place, with my reputation as Ye Huan for the past six years as proof, Brother Dan informed you that all students who believe in him and follow me to fight will receive at least one gold coin as compensation!"

  Make a promise and those who believe in me will greatly benefit - this is the true meaning of Ye Huan's preaching, and also his final trump card!

  Is it just a matter of changing one's faith and following him to get a gold coin? Most of the students shook their heads in ridicule, and in an instant, more than 200 people left. In this increasingly thick atmosphere of ridicule, Lush suddenly shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Do you still have Brother Huan in your eyes? Have you all forgotten? Two years ago, who was it that suffered seventeen serious injuries and brought us out from under the claws of the demon beast?"

  "Brother Huan, although you may have forgotten, I, Lu Xiu, dare not forget. This life of mine was saved by you, and it was also under your guidance that I came to believe in the Sun God back then. So today..."

  Lü Xiù knelt down at Yè Huān's feet, "Carrying out your will, I beg of you to represent Dàn Gē and accept my devotion!"

  "Older brother, although I don't know what Dandan is doing, however... you are the older brother of my family!"

  Bai Xiaobai also knelt down.

  With the example set by these two, or rather 'pioneers', soon a portion of their classmates stopped in their tracks, and then there was a second batch, a third batch, all kneeling at Ye Huan's feet, opening their arms wide, allowing Ye Huan to draw a triangle on their chest, and gently kiss the black goat pendant representing Dan Ge...

  One hundred and eight kisses, one hundred and eight believers!

  Ye Huan's eyes were even a little moist, was his journey of spreading the teachings starting with these 108 believers?

  ……

  "Praise the Holy Spirit of Brother Dan! From now on, you are all under Brother Dan's leadership and members of the Heavenly Father's Salvation Sect!"

  Let the followers gather before him, Ye Huan opened his arms wide.

  Salvation Sect, that's the name of the sect he came up with. Just like before the Great Calamity, Christianity had branches like Eastern Orthodox, Presbyterian, and Cross Society, this Salvation Sect is just a small branch under the Heavenly Father Church. There are many organizations like Donglin in the East, as long as you have the identity of a devout believer, you can go to the church office to register and establish one, even if someone investigates, there won't be any trouble.

  And who will investigate? The style of the Heavenly Father's Church is to tolerate and coexist, as long as Ye Huan acknowledges that Heavenly Father Emma Xi is the only ruler of heaven and earth, his sect can exist openly and aboveboard.

  The reaction of believers is not very enthusiastic.

  Ye Huan smiled slightly, a promise of a gold coin had been made, and he should do something for these people too. He nodded and said: "Alright, Dan Ge's followers, I know what you're waiting for... As long as you do what I say, Dan Ge will definitely fulfill his promise!" He loudly ordered: "Immediately return to your dormitory, wear your sturdiest armor, equip your sharpest weapons, and assemble in front of me!"

  Weapons? And... armor?

  Popov's face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to stop Ye Huan from preaching, but if these 108 people were allowed to dress up and cause trouble in the school with their swords drawn, he, as the head of security, would be held accountable.

  "Yehuan, I've already allowed you to preach, what else do you want?" Popov rushed over, "Block the demolition? This is impossible, tearing down this dormitory area was an order from the principal himself, and the religious court also agreed. If you dare to lead a disturbance, I have the right to arrest you on the spot!"

  "Who says I'm going to stop the demolition?" Ye Huan was exceptionally sincere, "Mr. Popov, I'm just spreading the gospel, don't you think that at the moment of the Savior's birth, I must lead my 108 followers to do some praise and worship?"

  This voice was so sincere, but somehow, when it reached Popov's ears, there was a chilling sense of foreboding.

  Besides, who dares to stop a devoted believer from praising the gods?
