Chapter 271 The Villain Lady Arrives 99
Dear brothers and sisters, I know we are currently facing unprecedented difficulties, but please believe that the God of Light has never left us. "
Alice's voice was gentle but firm. She slowly opened her arms, as if she wanted to embrace all the believers.
"What we need to do is not to complain or give up, but to rekindle the fire of faith in our hearts and let the light shine on this land again."
After hearing this, the believers nodded one after another, tears and determination flashing in their eyes. The old pastor was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. With trembling hands, he tightly held Alice's hand, as if holding the future of the entire church.
Alice's words were like a spring breeze blowing across dry hearts, rekindling the believers' faith in the God of Light. However, the power of words alone was not enough to completely change the status quo, so a bold and sacred plan quietly took shape in her mind.
"Brothers and sisters," Alice's voice became more determined, "I have decided to hold a grand light blessing ceremony at the square of our branch of the Church of Light on the last day of this week, which is the 'Holy Day' that the God of Light favors the most. This is not only for the revival of our church, but also to let the people of Dawn City witness the power and love of the God of Light with their own eyes, and let them understand that true happiness and abundance come from inner purity and fear of God."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became boiling. The old pastor was so excited that he could hardly speak, but nodded repeatedly, with tears flashing in his eyes. The believers also whispered to each other, their faces filled with the light of expectation and hope.
“Lady Saint, this is fantastic!” A young female believer stepped forward first, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. “We will definitely cooperate with you to make this blessing ceremony the most unforgettable moment in the history of Dawn City!”
"Yes, Lady Saint, we will do our best!" Other believers echoed, their voices full of determination and strength.
Alice smiled and nodded, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth. This blessing ceremony was not only a display of the power of the God of Light, but also a gathering and encouragement for the people. She needed every believer to be closely connected and face the upcoming challenges together.
In the following days, Alice and her followers were busy and fulfilled. They cleaned every corner of the camp, set up the altar, and prepared holy water and holy objects. At the same time, Alice also personally wrote a promotional card, which detailed the meaning and process of the blessing ceremony, and promised that all the people who participated would receive the protection and blessing of the God of Light.
After these cards were carefully crafted, they were secretly distributed by believers to every corner of Dawn City. At first, the people did not care about these cards, and even felt a little disgusted. After all, in their hearts, the princess had become an omnipotent existence, and they no longer needed to believe in other gods.
However, as time went on, the content on the card gradually attracted people's attention. Some people became curious and wanted to know what this so-called "blessing of light" was. As a result, various speculations and discussions about the blessing ceremony began to spread in the streets and alleys.
"Have you heard? The Church of Light will hold a blessing ceremony next week." A middle-aged woman chatted with her neighbors in the vegetable market.
"Really? Then what are they going to do? Are they followers who are here to snatch the princess from us?" Another woman seemed a little wary.
"Who knows? But I heard that anyone who participates in the ceremony can get the protection and blessing of the God of Light." The middle-aged woman said mysteriously.
"Hmph, the princess has already brought us enough happiness and prosperity. We don't need the protection of the God of Light!" a young man interrupted with disdain.
However, such voices did not last long. Soon, more people began to be attracted by the mystery and solemnity of the blessing ceremony. They wanted to know whether this once glorious Church of Light could once again demonstrate its power and mercy.
Finally, the eve of the Holy Day of Light arrived. Alice stood in the large square of the garrison, looking at the busy and orderly arrangements in front of her, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness. This night would determine whether she could successfully awaken the people of Dawn City to their faith in the God of Light.
As night fell, the stars dotted the night sky, and the entire Dawn City was immersed in tranquility. However, in the garrison of the Church of Light, the lights were on and the voices were bustling. The believers were nervously preparing the details of the final ceremony, while Alice stood alone in front of the altar, closed her eyes and prayed, seeking the guidance and blessing of the God of Light.
The morning of the Holy Day finally arrived. When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the earth, Alice slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes flashed with a firm and sacred light, as if she had merged with the God of Light.
With the ringing of a clear bell, the blessing ceremony officially began. People poured into the square with curiosity and anticipation, standing, sitting, kneeling or bowing, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Alice, wearing a pure white saint robe and holding a holy staff, walked slowly up to the altar. Every step she took seemed so solemn and sacred, as if every step touched people's hearts. When she stood in the center of the altar, the entire square suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"Dear brothers and sisters," Alice's voice echoed gently and firmly in the square, "Today is the Holy Day that our God of Light favors the most. On this special day, on behalf of the Church of Light, I extend my most sincere blessings and wishes to you."
At this point, Alice paused and took a deep breath. Then she continued, "I know that many of you once had doubts or even resentment towards our Church of Light. But please believe me, the God of Light has never left you. He has been silently protecting this land and everyone on it."
At this point, Alice raised the holy staff in her hand. Suddenly, a warm and holy light emanated from the holy staff, instantly illuminating the entire square. The people stared with wide eyes in surprise. They had never seen such a magical and beautiful sight.
"Now," Alice's voice sounded again, "please allow me to bless you with light. May the power and love of the God of Light always be with you, and may you be safe, healthy, happy and fulfilled!"
As she spoke, Alice began to walk slowly around the altar. With each step she took, a warm light emanated, as if she was baptizing and purifying every person present.
The people closed their eyes one after another and felt the gift and blessing from the God of Light. Many of them felt unprecedented peace and tranquility, as if all their worries and sorrows had disappeared at this moment.
