"My Lord, the God of Redemption, you were born from chaos. You are the guide of light and the place for our souls to go …"
"Your path in the world will be eternal in the future!"
"Your Holy Kingdom will be our resting place!"
…
In a huge hall in Caspar City.
Hundreds of believers gathered together and prayed loudly. The leader was Wu Ming, who was wearing a white priest robe. Behind him, Liana and Carter also looked pious.
After roping in Carter, Wu Ming's Church of Redemption was completely open.
Wu Ming himself unceremoniously named himself the Pope. Without a doubt, he was the representative of God and the person with the highest power in the world of the church.
Liana and Carter were each given the title of trainee priest and began to pull people into the church.
In this regard, Liana had a little advantage because she often participated in religious activities, while Carter was good at overall management and handling chores.
Just like this temporary religious place, it was he who went to contact the landlord, and then Wu Ming came forward to rent it.
"It's just that … most of the people Liana pulled in are peripheral believers of the former God of Pain …"
The holy and solemn Pope Steven was secretly complaining. "Basically … half of the members of my church are former cultists?"
For now, he had to keep a low profile. Except in front of the core members, Wu Ming did not plan to show his miracles and divine powers on a large scale.
Therefore, in the beginning, apart from Liana pulling people in, he could only choose to spend money, distribute leaflets, and provide free holy water and Holy Communion to attract some people. Then, he would slowly pull people in.
After presiding over a ceremony, the believers began to share the free Holy Communion. Wu Ming provided white bread and fried bacon. The food was quite good. Recently, there had been a lot of false believers who came for free meals.
As for himself, he met a few core members of the church in the office of the church.
"Your Holiness!"
These people had all seen the real 'divine arts', and their degree of faith was relatively high. With God's Space, Wu Ming could judge the degree of devotion of the other party based on the amount of spirit they contributed. It was completely accurate.
"Recently, the development of the Church has been quite good. Liana, our Lord has seen your hard work!"
Wu Ming looked at Madam Lian Na, who seemed to be in her twenties, and nodded with a smile.
It had to be said that although most of the people who came with Linara were former cultists, their mental strength was not fake. Emotions such as paranoia and madness could also provide a huge amount of mental strength.
"It is my honor to be able to spread the glory of our Lord!"
Liena was almost like a fanatic now. After bathing in the grace of the God of Redemption, her faith was already firm and unshakable.
It was said that everyone had mental strength, and a lot of it would dissipate during the day's random thoughts.
Wu Ming's collection of faith was to accumulate this portion of mental strength and give feedback and grace to the devout believers.
Spiritual energy was unable to directly affect matter, but after being converted by the Sovereign Space, it was possible.
In this way, the true believers would find that they were more and more energetic and physically strong, which made it easier for them to succeed in life and work, and in turn, strengthen their faith.
Of course, for Liena and the other guys that Wu Ming planned to train into priests and saintesses, the return ratio was much higher.
Especially for Liena, her change was almost visible to the naked eye, which was also a proof of divine power.
"Your Holiness!"
When Carter called this title, he still looked a little unnatural.
After all, the former junior had suddenly climbed to become his boss, which felt quite strange.
Of course, after seeing the power of divine powers and experiencing the effect of divine power, he did not dare to have any other thoughts.
"I've already applied for the preaching permit in this city, but the officials are still quite wary of us, and there are a lot of restrictions!"
He told Wu Ming about the difficulties. "Also, because of the popularization of radio and science, the citizens' attitude towards us is like seeing a liar …"
Wu Ming nodded. This was also within his expectations.
With the development of science, even orthodox religions were gradually declining. How could a new religion fight back?
Unless they performed miracles on a large scale and withstood scientific tests … But this was a road to death.
Although true gods could develop slowly, Wu Ming still could not wait for such a long time.
Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Madam Liena's support and hard work that the Church of Salvation could develop to this stage.
"Most people don't believe in the existence of gods. Let's start with those who do believe in gods …"
Wu Ming glanced at Liena and had an idea. "The God of Pain isn't the only evil cult in Golden Oak Kingdom. How about we recruit people from there?"
This was the only solution. With a lack of high-quality believers, even former evil cultists had to accept it. After all, as long as they were well managed, they might be more pious than normal people and provide more spiritual energy.
"The development of the church cannot do without the support of the officials! How about this? "
Wu Ming knocked on the table. "Carter, go buy and bribe some of the officials. Tell them that we are willing to investigate and eliminate the internal evil cult problem for the city and take over the rescue work of those ordinary believers!"
Some messy small cults, especially those like Redwin's God of Pain, were indeed quite a headache for the Kingdom's Religious Administration Department.
And Wu Ming was prepared to rely on the officials. While wiping out all the evil cults in the country, he would absorb their territory and power to achieve the goal of rapid development.
Anyway, after dealing with the backbone, how to deal with those ordinary believers was a huge problem. Others could not wait to avoid it, but the Church of Salvation could take it.
Wu Ming said in a very religious tone, "Saving those poor evil cultists from the hands of the evil gods is also the path and mercy of our Lord!"
"Praise the great God of Salvation!"
After hearing this, Liena was the first to express her support and was moved to tears. She was definitely the one who was deeply touched.
Carter, on the other hand, thought of more.
Cult leaders like Redwin were very vigilant, and their members were brainwashed. It was difficult to find any clues, which made it difficult for the police to grasp their whereabouts and evidence.
But the Church of Salvation, which was also a religion, was very familiar with the way and was very suitable for this kind of thing.
"It can not only attack potential competitors, but also take the opportunity to develop the church and gain the favor of the kingdom … It is indeed a good idea!"
Carter nodded repeatedly.
He knew that with the current strength of the Church of Salvation, it was certainly unrealistic to challenge those old religions. The only way out was to snatch believers and territory from other evil cults.
If they could get the support of the kingdom, they would be more confident.
As for whether the kingdom would agree or not?
Carter, who had read the scripture written by Wu Ming, did not consider this problem at all. After all, the content was too righteous. As Wu Ming said, the God of Salvation only needed faith. Apart from that, nothing in the human world was worth mentioning.
In this aspect, it was quite rare even among the major religions.
"Bob!"
After reaching a consensus, Wu Ming immediately called a person's name.
"Your Holiness, please give me your orders!"
The man named Bob was more than two meters tall, like a black bear, with a stubble on his face that looked like steel needles. He was an awe-inspiring guy at first glance.
He was a 'talent' that Wu Ming had personally discovered among the believers! Not only was his degree of faith quite high, but his strength was also quite good. He was even a retired instructor of the kingdom's army.
After Wu Ming showed his magic once, he was completely devoted to him. Peeping into his heart through the Master God's Space, Wu Ming knew his deepest desire: "Hoping to resurrect your beloved daughter? Another greedy guy … "
Resurrection was not only a great test for the secular world, but also a challenge to the basic rules of the world. Before the Master God's Space developed to the point where reincarnation could be broken, Wu Ming did not even think about this.
But Bob, after joining the church, seemed to be grasping at the last life-saving straw, and refused to let go.
"In order to fight against other evil churches, it's time to establish our Saint Samurai …"
Wu Ming pointed at Bob, "You go choose ten adult male believers and train them. What's the name? Let's call it the Punishment Squad. I will provide the venue and equipment, and our Lord will even bestow grace on them! "
The so-called 'grace' was the daily return of a large proportion of spiritual power, which was rumored to be the existence of 'divine power' among the believers. Bob also had a deep understanding of the effect.
At least, after believing in the God of Redemption, the internal injuries left by his years of military service had now become much better. His whole body was no longer like the broken machine before, which seemed to fall apart at the slightest movement.
"I will definitely train them into qualified warriors!"
Bob puffed out his chest and promised loudly.
Wu Ming, however, had a bit of a bad taste in his heart. He wondered if this Punishment Samurai would develop into a famous burial institution like the Inquisition in his previous life.
Inside the Master God's Space.
Wu Ming's consciousness was immersed in it, and a light screen suddenly appeared:
[Master God's Space]
[Owned Areas: Intelligent Brain Area, Divine Kingdom Area, Unnamed Area]
[Number of Petitioners: 3367]
[Spiritual Power Storage: 200892 units]
…
Seeing this series of data, he was very satisfied.
"Sure enough, the spiritual power provided by the living far exceeds that of the undead. This is only the scale of this small church, once it develops to the whole world …"
Wu Ming could not help but be a little excited. The abundance of Force in this world was clearly beyond his expectations.
