NOVEL NEXT Chapter 155: Cemetery Building - Abandoned Church
"Is it accomplished already?" Sun Yan felt a weight lifted off his heart.
Originally, he thought this matter would be quite troublesome, after all, it involved gaining the approval of 20 townspeople.
But unexpectedly, the approval of these townspeople came so easily.
"Mr. Jackson, there are still many living dead roaming around Gospel Town. What should we do now? Can we take refuge in your graveyard?" Katske asked Sun Yan.
Undoubtedly, at this moment in his mind, the Evangelical Town Cemetery was the safest place in the entire town.
However, Sun Yan's graveyard harbored many secrets, not to mention the skeleton horse in the backyard; even the Demon-Slaying Crossbow Tower and Celestial Thunder Altar were things not to be easily disclosed to outsiders.
Moreover, he had no interest in testing human nature. In times of crisis, if this group moved into the graveyard, who knows if they would abide by the rules? The headache would be his alone.
Thus, he thought of a better temporary place to accommodate these people.
The Abandoned Church.
"My graveyard can't hold so many people, and there are not enough supplies. Come with me to the church in town; this way, if you're short on food and water, it's easier to resupply," Sun Yan politely declined.
"The church? But no one has been there for many years," Katske was puzzled, not understanding why Sun Yan would arrange for them to go to this place.
"Precisely because it's safe, ensuring no townspeople there are turned into living dead. Once you've moved into the church, I will arrange for my staff to protect you until the state army arrives in Gospel Town to ensure everyone's safety," Sun Yan said righteously.
Seeing him speak this way, others naturally couldn't voice further opinions.
After all, Sosia's combat prowess was evident, and being beside someone with such immense power, receiving her protection was certainly more reassuring than a group of people huddled in an unsafe villa, relying on firearms.
Soon, the group packed their belongings and followed Sun Yan to the town's church.
The church's exterior was in classic Gothic style; due to a great fire years ago, the outer walls are charred black; only the main structure is still intact.
Things like windows and doors were long unable to bear more weight, as if any normal person could cause them to shatter with just a touch.
As Sun Yan pushed open the church doors and stepped inside, he instantly felt a dusty, moldy scent fill the air, clearly showing that this place hadn't been visited for many years.
The long pews burnt to charcoal, the pulpit covered in cobwebs, with even some insect corpses clinging.
Quite desolate and silent.
The notebook in his pocket buzzed, and Sun Yan quickly took it out to check.

Looking at the words appearing in his notebook, Sun Yan couldn't help but show a perplexed expression.
Is this asking me to create a new god? Sounds quite interesting.
While the townspeople of Gospel Town were still outside, Sun Yan quickly glanced through, making his choice promptly.
Since the Abandoned Church can absorb believers, cold-blooded and violent options were obviously not good; it was clear that such divine traits would not attract many believers.
Being a divine being yet so aloof, what human in their right mind would follow you, becoming your believer, unless they're a masochist?
The primary choice must be Compassionate.
As for form, Sun Yan opted for the more positive Divine Being.
Considering the global mythos, whether Northern Europe, Greece, India, Brother Long, Little Days, or Indian, the frequently worshiped image is always the Divine Being.
Even the most famous Western angels share this trait.
In contrast, the beast form represents beings like Jormungandr, Fenrir, and the Feathered Serpent God—famed, yet awkwardly unable to spread belief widely.
