“I have to think of a way to get more believers.”

The power of faith from Little Red alone was far from what Zhou Chen needed.

He wanted more power of faith. Not only did he have to satisfy the needs of the

Godhood and the divine fire to sustain themselves, but he also needed enough

to provide additional divine power for his own use.

Otherwise, all his efforts would have been in vain.

“I should trick.. ah, no, who should I guide to believe in me, the Lord of

Benevolence? I have to think of a way to get more people to provide me with

the power of faith.”

Zhou Chen felt that this problem was a little troublesome.

As an outsider, although he had gained a deeper understanding of this world

from gathering information, in terms of snatching believers, he was far

inferior to the native Gods who had been in this world for a long time.

After thinking for a while, he did not have any good ideas.

“I should fool those children. Adults have complicated thoughts and a

difficult to deceive.”

After making up his mind, Zhou Chen left the house and began to walk to the

slums of this city.

He had been there before and had even treated a sick girl to pave the way for

the appearance of the Lord of Benevolence

After crossing the relatively quiet rich residential area and passing through the

bustling city area and the simple ordinary residential area, Zhou Chen reached

his destination.

Through his Bloodthirst, he quickly found his goal. It was a group of lonely

children, or rather, little beggars.

When Zhou Chen arrived, something unpleasant was happening in this shabby

place

“You bastard! Stay away from my sister!” A twelve-year-old boy pushed a

middle-aged man in his forties in business attire away and shouted.

Behind him was his seven to eight-year-old sister, who was shiveringar

wearing tattered clothes.

“Isn't ten coppers enough to exchange for your sister?! I think you're bewitched

by greed! The middle-aged businessman who was pushed away by the boy

was clearly displeased with his intense reaction. His face was dark, as if he was

preparing to use violence.

“Don't speak nonsense, you evil person! Even if you offer ten kimpurs, I won't

sell my sister to you!” The boy was not afraid. As he retorted, he opened his

thin arms and used his weak body to protect his sister behind him like a hen

protecting its chick.

“Isn't this the pair of siblings from a few days ago? Zhou Chen could tell at a

glance that the ones who were in conflict with the middle-aged man were the

siblings that he had saved a few days ago. Near the siblings, he could see other

children he had seen before. These children were hiding in the broken shed

that was like a pile of trash and did not dare to come out. They only dared to

show their heads and secretly observe

This is an opportunity.”

The scene in front of him made Zhou Chen see the opportunity to obtain

believers. He quickly walked forward and grabbed the middle-aged man's neck

from behind, lifting him up and facing him.

“Get lost.” Zhou Chen's words were succinct, and his expression was calm. After

saying that, he threw the middle-aged man to the side.

This middle-aged man wanted to resist when he was being grabbed, but he

realized that he could not do anything. Moreover, the person who grabbed him

was dressed in luxurious clothes as well. He looked to have some status, so he

forcefully stopped his outburst and crawled up from the ground with hatred.

His eyes flickered with resentment and unknovwn thoughts.

Zhou Chen originally did not want to pay attention to this person, but his

perception was very sharp. This person's resentful expression made him feel

that it could result in some troubles. Therefore, he suddenly turned around and

faced the middle-aged man. He instantly approached him, reached out, and

threw him out again.

But this time, he threw him into the high sky, sending him flying who knew

where.

This action immediately shocked the siblings who had watched the entire

orocess. 'The younger sister was still okay, only staring with her eyes wide

open. But the younger brother's behavior was exaggerated. He opened his

mouth and looked at Zhou Chen, almost forgetting to breathe.

“Alright, the annoying person has left. Little friend, how's your sister now?

After throwing the middle-aged man to the horizon, Zhou Chen turned around

and looked at the siblings with a smile.

The boy ignored Zhou Chen's smile. Instead, his body was trembling as he said

to him, “You.. You killed him.”

“Yes, I heard my Lord's decree to eliminate that villain. Don't worry, this is

nothing. Nothing will affect you.

Zhou Chen's ridiculous throwing would undoubtedly cause the middle-aged

man's death. After all, the man was only an ordinary person. He was destined

to fall into the ground and be crushed into meat paste.

However, Zhou Chen did not feel any pressure because this world was not

Planet Blue. The rules were different. No one would try to reprimand him, a

person with strength and money.

The boy was speechless for a moment when he heard Zhou Chen's words. He

seemed to not know how to answer. Zhou Chen continued,

“I came here to introduce to you my omnipotent Lord, the savior of all things

in the world.” He said a bunch of prepared words and began to fool these

children into believing in him.

of course, he did not just rely on his mouth. He also brought them some bread

and other food to guarantee.

The great Lord of Benevolence will not give up on anyone who is in a difficult

situation. As long as you sincerely believe in him, you will obtain his

protection. As a loyal believer of the Lord, I will also give you some help.”

Zhou Chen's words seemed a little stiff, but fortunately, he was facinga group

of lonely children. In addition to some material temptations, it did not take

long for him to make these children promise that they would change their faith

to the Lord of Benevolence.

“Very good. As long as you believe in the great Lord of Benevolence, your life

will gradually improve.” Zhou Chen said with a smile after sharing the bread.

He was wondering if his actions were useful.

There doesn't seem to be any Gods competing for the faith of these children.

Their level is probably too low, and the power of faith they can provide is

extremely limited. Perhaps even if I turm them all into my believers, I won't be

able to gather much power of faith”

According to his experiences in the past few days and the infomation he had

gathered, Zhou Chen gradually understood that the power of faith that every

believer could provide to a God was different. The amount of the power of faith

was not only related to the level of devotion of the believer, it was also related

to the believer's level, in other words, strength.

For a silver rank existence like Little Red, even if only one of them believed in

him, it could allow him to obtain a trace of divine power from burning their

faith. However, even if all these children were added together, they would not

be able to match Little Red.

However, Zhou Chen did not have much choice at the moment. He was an

outsider, and he could not be too presumptuous for the time being. It was

better to collect these small faiths to train.

After fooling the children, Zhou Chen planned to leave. He wanted to go

somewhere else to see if he could get more believers.

But just as he turned around, a young voice stopped him.

“Lord Oracle, I have a request!” It was the boy from the siblings. Zhou Chen was

puzzled when he heard this. He turned around and looked at him.

“What request do you have? Tell me. If necessary, I will pray to 'Him' for you.”

Zhou Chen tried his best to maintain the image of a God's envoy in front of

these children. Even he felt a little nauseated when he spoke.

Seeing Zhou Chen turn around with a mile on his face, the boy summoned his

courage and looked up at him. “Lord Oracle, I want to become stronger! I want

to become as strong as you! May I ask if the great Lord of Benevolence can help

me?

This kid's appetite is not small.

Zhou Chen's expression remained the same, but he had an idea.

“Hehe, Little John, I have my current strength because I was bestowed with it

after believing in my Lord for many years. You're still too young to think of

reaching my level in a single step. You have to gradually improve yourself.”

Zhou Chen first told him that it was wishful thinking to directly catch up to

him. Then, he enticed him.

“But my Lord will never abandon his loyal believers. If you can organize

everyone to worship my Lord for the next three days, my Lord will definitely

give you a chance to improve.”

“An opportunity to improve? How strong can I become? John's eyes lit up and

asked.

“How strong? That's hard to say. It depends on your devotion to my Lord. If you

are pious enough, my Lord will give you strength that far surpasses that of an

adult man.”

Zhou Chen did not give a precise answer. He only told him that the more

devout he was, the greater the grace he would receive from the Lord of

Benevolence.

“It's enough! With such strength, I can protect my sister and everyone else!”

John was immediately interested after hearing Zhou Chen's words. He had long

had enough of his weakness and wanted to grow up quickly. Now that there

was a God willing to give him such a gift, he felt that his life was filled with

hope.

Okay. Organize everyone to pray to my Lord these few days. I'll come back in

three days.” After saying this, Zhou Chen directly disappeared in front of these

children like a bubble, making them exclaim in surprise again.

In fact, this effect was only the bizarre shoes' invisibility ability. Fortunately, it

was enough to create a mysterious impression of him to these children,

making them trust him more.

“It's so troublesome to get believers. If only the monsters killed equaled the

number of believers, how good would it be.” At this moment, Zhou Chen had

already returmed to his room. The speech earlier had really vexed him. He was

more suited to trainingg or fighting monsters.

Therefore, for the next three days, Zhou Chen once again focused on

cultivating the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art.

During this period, he called Little Red, and handed it the bizarre mirror to

observe the children.

The bizarre mirror had a very powerful detection ability. Zhou Chen knew the

location of the children very well, and he could monitor them through the

bizarre mirror to understand if they were focused on praying.

Three days later.

“The Eight Desolates True Energy of the earth attribute has been fully

mastered. This attribute has both attack and defense, and has a control ability.

It can also provide a lot of strength enhancements.”

Zhou Chen's cultivation was progressing more and more smoothly. Even if he

encountered some bottlenecks in his cultivation, he would be able to

successfully break through under his continuous training.

Zhou Chen dissipated the earthen-yellow 'True Energy that enveloped his body

and asked Little Red,

“Little Red, have those children been praying seriously these past few days?”

Little Red immediately replied to him through the spiritual connection.

“Less than half lasted for three days? That John is the most devoted one?”

While thinking about Little Red's feedback, Zhou Chen followed the connection

with the Godhood in his necklace and searched for the voices of the children.

But for some reason, through the Godhood, he could only sense Little Red's

prayers for the past few days. He did not notice any trace of the children's

prayers.

“Are they too weak to produce faith?”

Zhou Chen had expected this. He then checked the power of faith and divine

power and found that it was no different from when Little Red was the only

believer.

“It seems like the power of faith provided by weak existences is very limited.

or they might not even be able to produce it.”

Zhou Chen frowned slightly. Although this was expected, the difference in the

production of believers' faith was too great, making him feel that it was not

easy for God.

“But that kid was able to hold on for three days. It's quite good considering that

he is only a child.”

Zhou Chen had left this mission for John to test him and let him know that he

had to put in the effort to obtain something

Otherwise, Zhou Chen could have given it to him directly. There was no need to

go through all this trouble.

After some thought, Zhou Chen activated continuous mirror jumps through

the bizarre mirror. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the dilapidated place

where the poor children lived.

After a while, he found John, who was still in the broken shed with his eyes

closed and kept drawing the character “benevolence” on his chest. Beside him,

his sister was also praying

“John, my Lord knows your piety.” When Zhou Chen spoke, John immediately

woke up from his praying state. When he realized that it was Zhou Chen, a

surprised expression immediately appeared on his face.

“Lord Oracle! Is the great Lord willing to give me strength? He looked up at

Zhou Chen in anticipation.

“Yeah.” Zhou Chen nodded slightly, but then said in a deep voice, “John,

although you have been very pious these days, you have only believed in my

Lord for a short period of time. According to the faimess principle, while you

obtain strength, you have to offer some sacrifices.”

“What sacrifice” John inmmediately focused and became a little nervou

Zhou Chen began to describe it to him, telling him that there were two levels of

offerings that would cost him five years and ten years of his life.

“I'm willing to offer ten years of my life as a sacrifice!” John immediately

agreed when he heard the price. Because he was extremely young, the thing he

had the most was time. He was very willing to lose ten years in exchange for

strength.

“Alright, follow me. Ill immediately hold a ceremony for you to accept my

Lord's grace.”
