The Golden Throne

Chapter 262: Taking over

The crowd remained silent as Liu Feng slowly moved across the entrance to face them. He grinned widely as he suddenly knelt down to the ground. All the people within the plaza gasped. After all, this was an event that was never seen before. A king, the most powerful person that these people would ever know, was kneeling down on the ground. They could not comprehend what was happening until Liu Feng himself explained it a few seconds later.

“Oh God above! I shall accept your mission with humility. I am humbled that you have given me such an incredible task. It is my honor to be an emissary of God!” Liu Feng shouted out to the skies.

With this, the whole crowd went wild. All of them finally could make a little sense of what was happening here. Liu Feng was now the new emissary of God, and he was slowly occupying the place that the high priest had previously occupied. With that, he would attain more power than ever before.

“This is going just as planned. Now, all that I have to do is make sure that all of the people within the church themselves do not go against me. I just have to hope that not every single one of the churches isn’t corrupt, but rather some people actually believe in God. Kind of ironic, asking that question in a church.” Liu Feng chuckled.

He then turned to look at the high priest.

“Someone! Take this imposter and lock him in the dungeons! I shall deal with this person who dared to blaspheme the god myself!” Liu Feng ordered a few of the guards who were standing by the side.

But not a single one of them moved. All of them were guards of the church themselves, and they did not understand what they had to do. Should they listen to this king who apparently got a message from God, or should they listen to the high priest, who was just chided by the person that they served?

Liu Feng saw this dilemma in their eyes and made the decision for them.

“You are all children of God! You are the people who have sacrificed the most for him. How can you allow someone like this man here, who only used that name for his own profit, and to get some power, to stay here standing free? You must apprehend him and hand him to the palace so that he will be trailed and given a proper sentence!” Liu Feng barked at them.

With Liu Feng laying out a perfect explanation for them, the guards had no other choice but to listen to God’s chosen one himself.

Liu Feng then turned around and looked back at the high priest.

“I will give you one more deal. You will have a nice and quiet life if you agree to help me out and cooperate with me when I ask you the questions later. If not, then, well, you know what is going to happen. What happens in a dungeon anyway? An old man like you will only last so long. Even if it is going to be a small sentence, you will probably spend the remainder of your diminished life in a hell that you will have created for yourself.” Liu Feng whispered in the high priest’s ears.

“Now that I am God’s chosen one, there are a lot of things that are going to change here. First, I know that the church in Aegon will have no other choice but to obey each and every single thing that I will say. Isn’t that going to be interesting? And there are many other decisions that the church has taken that I am sure are not necessary. I will change those as well. Truly, these last few hours might have been very troubling for me, but at the end of the day, it has been very fruitful. You are right. Sometimes, for a good future sentence, I need to start things off with a bang. And oh boy did this bang work really, really well.” Liu Feng chuckled.

He then turned away and stepped down the stairs. The crowd was very laid back, and they all looked at him with a sort of reverence in their eyes. They looked at Liu Feng like he was going to become the next god!

“Long live the king! Long live the king!” a chant followed Liu Feng’s footsteps as he got into his carriage.

“Take me back to the palace. After that, tell a few guards to come here and take control of the church. We cannot go against God’s words. They must be completed without a hitch. Also, after I return back to the palace, get rid of every single person outside the palace. Now, they have no reason to stay there, and by doing so, they are not true believers, and they must be henchmen of the high priest, so they must be taken care of.” Liu Feng said.

“As you wish, Your Majesty. This is truly a surprise and shock to all of us. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would ever witness a sign of God! I must truly be lucky to even be near you, Your Majesty. I owe so much to you.” the driver spoke with reverence.

Liu Feng frowned.

“Looks like you are a true believer,” he said.

“That is true, Your Majesty. I am a true believer. I am not like that upstart high priest. For me, God is a very important part of my life, and I shall never use him for profit.” the driver said righteously.

“That is good. We do not want any more scammers in here after all. I don’t know how I missed such a huge power in all of my childhood though.” Liu Feng muttered.
