Zhou Chen opened the interface and saw that Little Red in the summon list was still at the low silver rank. It had not been increased to the middle level.

“Little Red’s strength should have increased a little, but the divine power was not enough to increase it by a level.”

Zhou Chen felt a little regretful. As his only believer, the stronger Little Red was, the better. If it could advance to the middle silver rank, the power of faith it would provide would definitely be higher.

“More than half the duration of the Survival mission has passed. What should I do during the last ten days?”

Zhou Chen frowned as he sensed the little divine power left in the Godhood.

The test just now had confirmed that divine power was quite useful. Although it was not realistic to rely on it to do big things, it could help in increasing his combat strength.

The problem was that the Survival mission would end soon. When Zhou Chen returned to Planet Blue, would he be able to accept the faith of the believers here? Would he be able to continue obtaining divine power?

The answer was not optimistic. Zhou Chen was very sure that Planet Blue was extremely far from this world. It was difficult to imagine how firm a belief was needed to make the power of faith cross the endless space-time to reach Planet Blue.

After thinking deeper, Zhou Chen would still need to go to other worlds through the Survival mission. It would be difficult to get the power of faith from here.

“Tshould try not to lose divine power. If I don’t want the Godhood in my necklace to die, I can only try my best to increase Little Red’s rank.” Zhou Chen thought for a moment and realized that he still had to rely on Little Red to maintain the divine power. After all, Little Red could follow him to various

worlds and provide power of faith.

If he could increase Little Red to the high silver level, he would probably be able to obtain some extra divine power even if he did not have other believers.

“There are only ten days left. Let’s try this path.”

After focusing on cultivating for a month and reaching the partial mastery stage of the cultivation technique, the difficulty of advancing further was not something that could be accomplished in a short period.

“Little Red, how can you increase your strength? Can you eat the hearts of those demigods?” Zhou Chen asked Little Red as she stopped praying.

“Master… heart… is useless… need to devour… a powerful spirit…” Little Red floated in the air and replied in her low female voice.

“Alright, stop praying for the next few days and gather more relevant information. I’ll help you when you find a suitable target.”

Little Red’s intelligence was the same as humans. After following Zhou Chen for so long, it had already leaned to solve problems on its own.

“You can also use the other believers to get them to help you search.” Zhou Chen then remembered that he was not alone now. He had more than a hundred believers. Regardless of whether these believers were forced or willing, they could not escape Zhou Chen’s control at the moment.

“Yes, Master… It’s time… to open the coffin.”

After receiving Zhou Chen’s instructions, Little Red nodded. She glanced at the bizarre mirror in her hand and told Zhou Chen that it was time to open the bizarre coffin before disappearing.

The bizarre coffin was now under Little Red’s management, just like the bizarre mirror and the bizarre book. Little Red placed the bizarre coffin in a secluded place nearby to increase the strength of the believers.

“Although Little Red can’t help me in terms of combat strength, it’s still very useful.” Zhou Chen thought to himself as he watched Little Red get busy.

Little Red’s current strength was at the low silver rank. Such a strength was actually not very weak, but the opponents Zhou Chen encountered now were all at mid silver rank or above. Little Red was of no use at all and would only be seeking death if she fought them. Fortunately, she could provide

support in other aspects other than combat, making it much easier for Zhou Chen.

“If only I had a few more summons like Little Red.”

In order to solve the problem of faith, apart from improving Little Red’s rank, he could also increase the number of summons he had. However, Zhou Chen could only think about it because Little Red was a reward from the system. It could follow him to various worlds and had high intelligence. These two

conditions were not easy to satisfy at the same time.

“There’s definitely no one selling such silver rank summons in the trading area. There might not even be high bronze ones.” Zhou Chen thought for a moment and felt that he could only increase Little Red’s strength.

As for finding a high intelligence summon in this world, it was theoretically possible, but it was too difficult to obtain an absolutely loyal silver-rank intelligent summon. Moreover, it had to be recognized by the system. Otherwise, it could not be brought out of this world.

While he was thinking, Zhou Chen left his residence and strolled outside.

After a month of closed door cultivation, he felt quite comfortable going outside to take in fresh air.

After a while, Zhou Chen arrived at the edge of the city to visit John and the other children.

There were a few spacious wooden and stone buildings beside the tattered shed.

These were built with the funds provided by Zhou Chen to prevent the believers from being troubled by life and solve the problem of food and drink.

Just as he approached the new buildings, Zhou Chen heard John’s voice from inside.

“Great Lord of Benevolence! You are the omnipotent and omniscient Father! You are the savior of all things in the world! You are…” After John said that, the sound of the other children praying together sounded.

‘Ididn’t feel anything when I said these words, why do I feel awkward hearing others say them…’ The corners of his mouth twitched. Zhou Chen passed through the wall and entered the source of the sound.

Then, he saw John in brand new gray clothes in a simple but spacious hall. He was standing in front of many children who were also wearing new clothes, leading them to pray. Every time he spoke, he would use his right hand to draw the character for benevolence on his chest.

On the wall behind John, there was a drawing of benevolence character in straight brush strokes.

“This calligraphy is really ugly, but there’s nothing I can do about it. In their eyes, what I taught them is not a word, but a pattern.’

While he was criticizing inwardly, Zhou Chen heard John suddenly stop praying and say in surprise, “Lord Oracle is here!”

Before he could finish, the many children in the hall turned to face Zhou Chen and knelt on one knee.

“Welcome, Lord Oracle!”

Zhou Chen was instantly speechless. He immediately waved his hand and got them to leave.

“John, has anything happened here recently?” Zhou Chen asked with a smile.

“Lord Oracle, nothing major has happened. However, a few people wanted to rob this place half a month ago, but just as they approached, they were captured by another Oracle in red. I didn’t even have the time to attack.” A regretful expression appeared on John’s face, as if he was upset that the Oracle did

not give him a chance to perform.

“Okay. Is there a problem with your daily life?” Zhou Chen knew that the one who had come to deal with the sudden situation was Little Red so he did not talk much and instead asked about their living quality.

“No.” John immediately replied. “Everyone is satisfied with our current lives. We have a house that doesn’t leak, enough bread and milk. We don’t dare to ask for more.”

As John spoke, his right hand habitually swiped across his chest.

“Yes, the Lord can feel your piety. Take these kimpurs as your future reserve funds.” Zhou Chen nodded. Golden round coins suddenly appeared in his hand and he handed it to John.

But John did not immediately accept them. “Lord Oracle, I’ve heard that too much money can easily cause one’s fall. You should take back these kimpurs. We still have a lot of money.”

Zhou Chen immediately corrected him, “John, money can indeed cause people’s fall, but the true reason for their fall is the heart, not the money itself. Take it. This is a test of the Lord for you.”

“Alright, Sir Oracle, John will definitely not disappoint you.” Zhou Chen’s words immediately made John take the money from his hand with a serious expression, as if he was holding a hot potato.

‘Children are really simple-minded.’ Zhou Chen found it funny. He did not give John money to test him, but because he was about to leave this world. He could not take the money with him, so it was better to give it to these believers.

After putting a large handful of kimpurs in his pocket, John asked Zhou Chen,

“Lord Oracle, I want to listen to more of my Lord’s teachings. Can you tell me?” With that, he looked at Zhou Chen with an expectant gaze and added, “It would be even better if I can obtain a relevant book.”

‘What the hell…’ Under John’s expectant gaze, Zhou Chen, who was smiling, felt some pressure in his heart. He had developed these believers on a whim at the beginning, so how could he have prepared specialized books?

‘Twill just make something up… No, I can’t be too perfunctory.’

Amidst the pressure in his heart, Zhou Chen looked at John.

“Ahem, John, there are no books regarding my Lord yet, but these are secondary. As an Oracle, I can tell you about the core revelations I obtained from my Lord over the years.”

Zhou Chen racked his brains and began to fabricate a story.

“The core idea my Lord advocates is benevolence.”

“You have to be benevolent to the other believer companions. You have to help each other and be united.”

“You have to be benevolent to friends, neighbors, or passersby even if they are not believers. Don’t have a hateful heart. You have to treat them as equals.”

“You have to be benevolent to your enemy as well, but you have to understand the form of this benevolence.”

Zhou Chen paused and looked at John, who was listening attentively.

“Against our enemies, we have to kill them as soon as possible. This way, they will suffer less. If they have accomplices, we have to quickly find and destroy them all. This way, they won’t feel lonely in hell. These are the highest manifestations of benevolence.”

“John, do you understand?” After some nonsense, Zhou Chen asked John, who had a slightly shocked expression.

“Tunderstand, Lord Oracle. I will follow my Lord’s teachings well!”

“Alright.” Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction and patted his shoulder. “Work hard, John. My Lord will not forget any devout believer.”

Zhou Chen was about to turn and leave when John seemed to have thought of something. “Lord Oracle, there’s something I don’t know if I should say…”

“What is it?” Zhou Chen immediately turned around with an interested expression.

“Sir Oracle, a few days ago, Uncle Heim came over to look for you for help.”

“Heim? Who is he?” Zhou Chen did not remember who Heim was.

John continued, “Uncle Heim is the priest of Lady Misery you saw on Iron Flower Street a month ago. At that time, I brought my sister to ask him for treatment.”

“Oh, it’s that person. Why is he looking for me?” Zhou Chen recalled the man. Heim was the man in patched clothes who had refused to help John and his sister. This person was actually Lady Misery’s priest. At that time, Zhou Chen had thought that he looked quite miserable. Now, it seemed that there was

a reason.

“He didn’t tell me. He just wanted me to tell you that he wants to see you for a very important matter.”

‘Hehe, something might have happened to the God behind him.’

Zhou Chen thought inwardly when he heard this. At the same time, he felt a little puzzled. If a priest encountered a problem, why would he look for believers of other Gods? Didn’t he feel uncomfortable?

“Okay, I got it. You go do your thing.” Zhou Chen nodded at John and quickly left through the wall.

Before long, he arrived at Priest Heim’s residence on Iron Flower Street.

The reason he came was mainly because he was curious. He was strolling around, anyway, and wanted to see what this Heim was up to.

‘When he arrived at Heim’s residence, he heard a man’s prayer coming from inside.

“Great Lady Misery! You are the patron of the poor! You are the savior of the orphans! You are…”

Zhou Chen knocked on the old door and interrupted the prayers inside.

After a series of footsteps, the small old door in front of Zhou Chen was opened, revealing a thin man wearing a patched suit.

‘When he saw that it was Zhou Chen outside, a surprised expression immediately appeared on Heim’s face.

Zhou Chen asked calmly, “I heard you were looking for me? If you have anything to say, say it. My time is very precious.”

“Alright, the Oracle of the great Lord of Benevolence.” Heim quickly bowed slightly and greeted Zhou Chen. Then, he began to talk.

“My Lord has recently given me a dream revelation. ‘She’ wants you to tell the existence behind you to go somewhere to provide help. This will bring great benefits to you and the great Lord of Benevolence..”
