While the two princes James and Norman went and had dinner, SPU flashed across the capital city, appearing in all the squares and open spaces, along with all the bars and other gathering spots within the capital.
A few minutes of rapid movement later, his task had been completed, and he simply returned back to the castle and waited for the children to complete their dinner before he continued their lessons.
Their lessons continued till late in the night until they fell asleep, after which SPU simply carried them to their rooms and put them to bed before appearing beside the king.
"The lord had made his decision?"
"Yes. It shall be named Chengyu."
"Very well."
"There is something else."
"What is it?"
"The kids… they are learning quickly. However…"
"However, the more they learn, the more they understand about the world. And the more they understand, the clearer their position about themselves being brothers becomes. Right?"
"Yes. It won't be much longer, but the two are already beginning to distance themselves. Soon, brotherly love will convert into rivalry, and soon into hatred. Although you made a promise, it would be wise to convert them before it is too late. You also need to make a decision on who will become the crown prince, and let the other sibling become a duke. This decision needs to be made before James' coming of age ceremony in a year's time when he turns 15."
Ken remained silent after hearing SPU's words, deeply contemplating what to do. That night was a sleepless one for Ken, the king of Cayden.
The next morning, the residents of the capital received news from word of mouth and witnessing the posters themselves. All those who had converted also received this very message directly confirming its authenticity.
The capital of Cayden had been renamed to Chengyu. Although this might not seem like much to the ordinary folk, most of the smarter people, or those holding influence and money within Cayden understood one thing, the influence of the Church of systems over Cayden was already at a point where it could freely control the king. And it was not going to stop there. It's first target was the capital, and it had all intentions of spreading outward to take over Cayden. However, they did not have a say in this matter, since not only were all the nobility completely supporting this action, but the very fact that a true deity was behind everything made them shudder in their boots.
Along with this notification, another notification had been sent.
The church of Systems would stop taking in people. However, existing members could bring in more members by using 200 exp.
From this amount, 100 exp would naturally be used by Jack as commission. But the people did not need to know that it took only 1 CP to make an ordinary system for ordinary players.
This did confuse some, but also made sense to others. In most churches, popes were not responsible for bringing in followers, the ordinary followers of the religion were tasked with that task.
While news was spreading, Heron, who had woken up almost 8 hours ago, and went back to sleep seeing that it was night, finally woke up and opened his status.

"Phew!" Heron exclaimed as he read everything.
'Yup, I became stronger! If I can heal myself while fighting, then wouldn't be unkillable? Kakaka, let's see how those b*stard beasts think of me now! But wait! Debt? 2000 exp! That means I'll be stuck at Level 5 for a long time? No! I just have to kill more sand beasts! Nothing more!'
With this logic in mind, Heron finally stood upright and stretched a little in preparation for the long days of killing sand beasts ahead him.
However, Jack was stunned beyond anything he could have imagined. He was so shocked, that even a god such as himself momentarily stopped functioning from utter disbelief. At first, Jack had thought about stopping Heron from taking something else, but decided to see how things played out. Jack was disappointed when Heron had taken priest, however after digging into Heron's mind for a while and finding out the reason for his actions, Jack was stupefied.
'This hunk of boorish meat actually thought about something for once in his life…'
