Lu Yuanming now has nearly a hundred priests.
With Gracie's advance, every village swept through had been mostly tainted by the Black Silk Monsters. When Gracie's army arrived, these beasts immediately morphed and began to wreak havoc. As Gracie's forces exterminated them, some villages were almost completely wiped out, while others had survivors—among which priests often had the higher survival rate.
This time Gracie was not as gentle with the priests as before. No matter which Deity they worshiped, she would capture them all, and then Gracie personally spoke with them. Those willing to convert immediately, Gracie, in the name of her own god, swore to ensure their safety. Her god would also break the divine power of the incoming Deities, prompting them to convert to the god of the Light's Order. If they refused to convert, they would be executed on the spot, their heads piled up to build a Jingguan.
