Death God: A High-Dimensional Overlord, Starting by Devouring the Soul King

Chapter 99: Three Religions: Orthodox Religion, Confucianism, and Puritanism

When Rukia opened her eyes again, she was back in her room.

At this time, she was still in the form of a human who had just transformed from a white dragon.

It seems that only one's spirit enters the hostel, while one's physical body still exists in reality.

Feeling a chill on her body, Rukia quickly put on her clothes.

Because she didn't know what kind of person she would become, Rukia prepared some loose-fitting clothes.

But there's no need to be too particular now. Just make do with what you have, and you can buy more clothes that fit later.

After getting dressed, Rukia carefully checked her body again.

While she was at the inn, she didn't have time to check on herself after she turned into a Quincy.

The world before her was filled with a faint spiritual light. She stretched out her hand and, with a thought, condensed the spiritual particles into a bow and arrow in her hand.

The Quincy's bow...

Realizing that she had truly become a Quincy, Rukia felt a sense of loss.

Having been a Grim Reaper for decades, she suddenly became a dragon, and then a Quincy. These successive changes were quite difficult for her to adapt to.

Rukia didn't sleep that night; instead, she carefully experimented with her abilities.

It's not just the Quincy's abilities, but also the shaman's abilities, only she doesn't have a fixed territory, so she can't unleash the power of the shaman.

The next day, Lucia walked out of her room, looking somewhat tired, and found that Yhwach and Hohenheim had already started working.

When Yhwach saw Rukia come out, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Rukia's current dragon body truly lives up to her title of "Snow White"—she is incredibly beautiful, and even Yhwach has never seen such a beautiful girl.

What surprised him even more was that after he transformed into human form, Rukia's gaze towards him seemed less hostile.

So it really was a racial issue before?

"Looks like you didn't sleep all night?" Hohenheim said, noticing Rukia's listless appearance. "You were excited after transforming into human form, weren't you?"

Rukia said weakly, "Yeah, but the excitement is followed by exhaustion."

She wasn't tired because she hadn't slept all night, but because she had spent the whole night testing her abilities, which was physically demanding.

"Yoha has already taken the Mystic Potion. Today, we'll let him get used to the potion's power, so there won't be any teaching sessions. You can go back to your room and rest."

She's already drunk the potion...

Rukia wasn't sure if what she was doing now counted as drinking a potion. After all, it was a power bestowed by the Overlord. If she could possess shamanic power while also taking potions from other sources, then she would truly have the potential to catch up with Yhwach.

However, since the matter was still uncertain and she didn't want others to know about the inn, Rukia didn't say anything.

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest for a bit."

Rukia yawned and went back to her room.

Meanwhile, outside, Yhwach and Hohenheim were carrying out religious reformation work.

Hohenheim, as Li Lin's shadow, was also imbued with fantasy by Li Lin before he fell asleep, and can be said to be a real "figure in the painting".

The monk's death, coupled with his fusion with the source matter, allowed him to create an angel-level clone.

This refers to the Angelic Knowledge Mentor of Sequence Two of the Generalist Path, as he described it.

Now that it has partially separated from Li Lin and officially become a character in the painting, it needs to follow the rules if it wants to be promoted.

In addition to the corresponding potion, a ritual is also required for a knowledge mentor to advance to the first rank of Enlightener.

This ceremony promotes the renewal and transformation of civilization within a country.

While Charlemagne was waging wars abroad, he was responsible for promoting cultural reforms within the kingdom.

The first thing to change is religion.

Although the original Christian sects were complex and not easy to reform, with the king's support and its own strength, Hohenheim could take action with relative ease.

First, there is unification, and Charlemagne has already laid a good foundation in this regard.

Before Charlemagne, the Roman Catholic Church was surrounded by Germanic peoples who practiced heresy.

The Lombards, who occupied northern Italy, and the Ostrogoths, who occupied southern Italy, posed a long-standing military threat to the Pope in Rome.

Charlemagne purged the followers of Arianism and those who adhered to ancient Germanic paganism.

Secondly, there is the issue of reform, which involves the Eastern Church in Byzantium.

Although both the Eastern and Western churches believe in the same God, their differences actually existed as early as the time of Constantine, and their doctrines had rather serious conflicts.

Especially after the Byzantine emperors launched the iconoclasm movement, the Pope became increasingly disobedient to the Byzantine emperors' orders, and even openly confronted the emperors during the iconoclasm movement.

In this religious reformation, based on Hohenheim's occult knowledge and advice, he formally divided the Eastern and Western churches into two different churches that believed in the same God.

First, there was the Roman Catholic Church on their Frankish side, which he referred to as the Roman Orthodox Church.

The Roman Orthodox Church, of course, emphasizes the word "orthodox," meaning that they are the only legitimate authority.

They were Roman, Latin, and papal.

While the differences in the understanding of God between the two religions are not too great, there are certain biases.

The Roman Catholic Church believes that the cornerstone of God is "omniscience and omnipotence," while the Byzantine Empire was also carrying out reforms under the influence of Lillian.

After all, Li Lin created many shadows before he fell into a deep sleep. Among them, Hohenheim and Katz were the two most important shadows, but the other shadows were scattered all over the world, spreading their influence.

The Byzantine church was converted into an "adult church".

It is of Constantinople, of Greece, of the Patriarch.

They believe that the foundation of God is 'eternity' and 'holiness'.

Although they still believe that God is an omniscient and omnipotent God, there is a certain bias in the omniscience and omnipotence, and compared to omniscience and omnipotence in ability, eternity and holiness better demonstrate God's status.

As for the island of Great Britain, a similar reform was taking place. They also believed in Christianity, but they thought that the foundation of God was neither "omniscience and omnipotence" nor "eternity" and "holiness," but rather "storm."

Storms represent war and power. This school of thought starts from the origin of God, believing that God was not originally omniscient and omnipotent, but rather the war god and storm god of the Semitic people.

God started as the god of storms and eventually vanquished all evil spirits to become an all-knowing and all-powerful God. This is almost heretical to orthodox and religious religions!

They were known as the "British Puritans".
