Chapter 639 (2/2)
“That’s right. Previously, I was still a tad bit worried. I was even prepared to send some Oracles over. In the end, none were required,” said Sui Xiong with a smile. “No wonder those fellows are all so calm. Even that young guy can show a look that says, ‘Rest assured, everything is in place…’ Wall, your followers are indeed remarkable!”
Wall nodded and said, “Yes, they are remarkable. The moment they joined my church, their status shot up the ranks rapidly. Presently, a few old people from Hart Family could almost be considered to be at the level of figures such as elders or brains of the church. Frankly speaking, if not for Olian’s presence, perhaps the core of my church might have really shifted from Gerteeng Hill to Grey Tower City!”
“There’s nothing wrong with that,” said Sui Xiong, “since walking on two legs is much more stable than hopping on one leg. Also, with the two churches being thousands of miles apart, even if there is competition, things will not get too carried away. So after all, it is a good thing.”
Having said so, he looked towards Arcaian and Three Nothingness and said, “This time around, the both of you must seize the opportunity to develop your Church Union. Although the development will be limited, you can at least break free from the status of a grassroots unit. This is something worthy of congratulations and celebrations!”
Arcaian smiled wryly in return. Speaking of which, his church was quite an uncommon one. Though he might be the God of Healing, his followers were mainly from the Elven Race. In fact, many elves saw him as a symbol for the rise of a new beginning for their own Elven Race. Whether or not they truly could understand his principles and ideals, they did not hesitate to worship and follow in his stead. This created a tremendous amount of pressure on him.
Until recently, following the large-scale preaching activity that the Mifata Federation carried out, the God of Healing was finally able to form a group of followers who identified with the same fundamental principles as he did. They truly followed him down along his path of beliefs. They were not just a group of followers who simply believed in him as a god.
However, there was still another matter that bothered him a little… He had put in a great deal of effort for this joint preaching activity, but within the entire Void God System, his achievements were sadly still the worst of them all. He was not even on par with Three Nothingness.
Oh, what a sight I condemned! Three Nothingness did absolutely nothing at all!
The God of Healing had not been pleased with the uneven distribution of efforts they both put in. Often, he would mutter under his breath, “This world truly does not know what it means to be reasonable.”
Although having not done anything, Three Nothingness was still unable to bear the impact from the strong foundation of the others. Besides, the God of Healing was, anyhow, a most reliable and well-established name among the good gods, with friends all over the world and followers across vast seas. Although he had later met with a disaster where his church dissipated, and his followers were forced out of their safe haven and left to wander the vast world—so long as there were still spellcasters from the Healing System surviving in this world, he was not worried that there would be a problem with belief.
Besides, out of all the clergymen, those from the Healing System were most likely to be respected and followed by people at large.
So even if he, as a god, did not do anything, as long as he gave his followers sufficient Divine Power as a reciprocation of their belief in him, it would be enough to allow his church to flourish and develop.
In short, making use of this opportunity, the Void God System ushered in a fruitful period of great development.
Not only that, about half a year later, while the Mifata Federation was still kept busy in the North and the West by those who declared independence, during the time when there was a matter of disputes over trifles, another major event occurred.
A follower of the Void Mask, a mage named Damwade who was dubbed the “Old Farmer” because he had been studying agriculture tirelessly for many years, had succeeded in being sealed as a god. He hence became the God of Agriculture.
