Words : 1027 Updated : Sep 27th, 2025

The residents of Dawn City had noticed many changes in recent days. First, the appearance of the Cyclops injected a new vitality into Dawn City. As people became more familiar with the Vampires and Cyclops, their fear of other races gradually disappeared. It turned out that not all non-human races were as evil or terrifying as legends claimed. This realization led many residents to casually bring bread to tease these perpetually hungry giants. While Kosso dismissed such childlike games, the other Cyclops enjoyed them immensely. Especially the few naive young Cyclops, who quickly became the collective darlings of Dawn City’s residents, radiating a joyful atmosphere. The second change was the completion of the new church for the Dawn Order, located directly across from the square. One of the Saintlight Vampires, Emi, had been appointed as the bishop of the church. What intrigued the people was that the deity worshipped by this order wasn’t one they were familiar with—it was instead the leader of the Saintlight Vampires, the Lord of Dawn, the great City Lord Kachar. According to the teachings of the Dawn Order, Lord Kachar was the God of Dawn, possessing infinite divine power. The great Lord had descended from the divine realm to lead humanity from darkness into light, bringing hope to the people as a mighty deity. The emergence of the Dawn Order undoubtedly shocked the residents of Dawn City, sparking widespread discussion over the past few days. "Is Lord Kachar really the God of Dawn? No wonder—only a great divine being could treat humans so kindly!" "It might not be true. Lord Kachar is undoubtedly a hero, but to call him a god seems like a stretch." "A stretch?! Even mighty beings like the Cyclops have submitted to Lord Kachar. If he’s not a god, what is he? Didn’t you see it that day?" "The Cyclops aren’t that scary. I even fed them bread yesterday." "Fool! Do you think untamed Cyclops would eat your bread? They’d eat you!! Didn’t you feel the overwhelming aura of Lord Kosso in the square that day?" "Hiss... you’re right. Lord Kosso, the Cyclops Lord, nearly scared me to death that day. Only Lord Kachar’s greatness could tame such powerful creatures to behave like puppies. Will we have dragons in Dawn City someday? I can’t wait to feed bread to a dragon. Praise Lord Kachar, may your divine light shine over the entire land!" "Fool, dragons don’t eat bread!" The constant chatter kept the residents of Dawn City highly focused on the Dawn Order. This revelation was simply too shocking. The great Lord Kachar being a deity was almost inconceivable! Moreover, the doctrines propagated by the Dawn Order left people deeply impressed. Self-improvement, perseverance, unity, fearless bravery, love for family and country— What profound wisdom summarized such tenets! They were catchy and resonant, even surpassing the chivalric codes passed down for millions of years in their brilliance. No wonder the Dawn Order, belonging to Lord Kachar, was so awe-inspiring. Despite the commotion, many people remained skeptical upon first hearing this claim—like Patril at this moment. Patril, a resident of Eric Town invited by Rekel to join the logistics team, felt immense gratitude for everything happening now. If not for the Saintlight Vampires, Lord Kachar, and Dawn City, he might have starved to death on the way to Green City. Thus, Patril paid close attention to any news related to Li De. Upon hearing about the Dawn Order, his initial reaction was disbelief! This had to be a lie! But after careful consideration, he was startled to realize that everything the Dawn Order preached was true!! Wasn’t the great Lord Kachar doing exactly what the Dawn Order described? In humanity’s darkest and most helpless moments, he led them toward light and hope, granting them a happy life. Lord Kachar had provided free food initially, offered jobs, allocated housing for free, and distributed land. There were countless examples. Adding up all these reasons, Patril suddenly realized that the Dawn Order’s teachings were indeed true. He couldn’t imagine anyone other than a god achieving such greatness! Nobles? At this thought, Patril sneered. Those bloodsucking leeches were more despicable than rats; one couldn’t expect them to do anything for commoners. His original doubts and skepticism melted away after a series of reflections. He came to a conclusion. Lord Kachar is a great deity! Early the next morning, Patril quietly arrived at the newly opened Dawn Church. The place was originally an idle estate, but after Emi’s renovations, it exuded the unique sacredness of a church. With a pilgrim’s reverence, Patril straightened his wrinkled clothes and solemnly stepped into the church hall. The spacious hall contained hundreds of neatly arranged seats, its white tones imparting a sense of sanctity. To Patril’s surprise, he wasn’t the only one in the temple. Oli, the youngster who had recently become a Saintlight Vampire, was there, and a dozen familiar faces filled the otherwise empty church. He immediately recognized them as former residents of Eric Town. A sense of joy welled up in his heart. So, it wasn’t just him who realized the truth—he had companions. Praise Lord Kachar! Hearing movement behind him, Oli slightly turned his head. Upon seeing Patril’s face, he smiled with delight. "Uncle Patril, you’ve come too?" Unable to contain his excitement, Oli spoke as soon as Patril approached. "I knew that the great Lord Kachar isn’t an ordinary person. Only a deity could match his glorious and towering presence." Seeing the admiration on Oli’s face, Patril was momentarily taken aback, feeling an inexplicable sense of camaraderie. "Yes, only a great deity could accomplish such praiseworthy deeds." The two exchanged smiles, their unspoken understanding hanging in the air. When Emi entered the hall from the back of the church, he was astonished to find that more than 30 people had shown up at this newly opened church for the first time. His eyes widened in amazement. At this very moment, the impact of Li De’s actions in Dawn City was displayed in the most direct way possible. Even when proclaiming Li De as a deity, there were those who believed without doubt.
