Just when Lu Yao was forging the Magical Treasure, the situation in the Otherworld, resembling a raging fire fueled by oil, completely exploded.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Yong'an officially summoned the nominal leader of the Pantheism Church—Fu Fangsheng.

It seemed to be a signal. In an instant, many more military governors and viceroys began to treat the local Pantheism Church leaders as honored guests, expressing "support" for the Pantheism Church's attacks on churches.

These officials were all part of the "radical faction" within the Shun Dynasty; they believed that the Church, which was deeply proselytizing in the inland areas, posed a more severe threat than the Pantheism Church!

With the support of the Imperial Court, the Pantheism Church became unstoppable. Churches were burned and missionaries and Westerners were slaughtered all over the country.
