Ivan's prayer was like a spark, lighting up the desolate night of Graystone Village.

His forehead was pressed against the cold ground, and he could feel the coldness of the earth penetrating into his nose with every breath. His body was trembling from the cold, but his heart was extremely hot.

The sacred and majestic figure in his mind was staring at him at this moment. Although it was blurry, he could feel the other party's gaze coming through endless time and space.

His body trembled slightly with excitement and piety.

At this moment, the towering figure slowly raised his right hand.

"In the name of the swamp, I grant you a new life."

It was like the sound of thunder falling from the sky.

A light green light bloomed from the other party's hand, full of vitality.

That energy surged directly into the soul.

The next moment, he felt the power dormant deep in his blood slowly awakening.

Muscles, bones, tendons, everything in the body is transforming.

That power continued to strengthen everything about him.

After just ten minutes, it reached its climax.

Click~
He thought he heard the sound of an eggshell breaking.

Then, the power in the body suddenly surged.

Like a torrent rushing down from a mountain, all obstacles were destroyed.

The level increased rapidly from level 9, to level 10, to level 11, and finally to level 15.

That power only dissipated at this moment.

He slowly raised his head from the ground, his face now full of madness.

The depth of faith directly broke through from a devout believer to a fanatical believer.

“Thanks be to the merciful Lord for his gift.”

"I will use my blood, my life, and my soul to spread your glory and let the world listen to your teachings!"

The shadow in his mind seemed to sense his prayer and nodded slowly, then gradually dissipated.

After his mind cleared up, Alvin slowly stood up.

The night wind was still biting, but he was unaware of it.

Standing on the cold earth, it is like an ancient tree that has survived for thousands of years, so vigorous and full of vitality.

Turning his head to look at the quiet village, an unprecedented light ignited in his eyes, and his whole body exuded infinite vitality.

He slowly tightened his grip on the wooden spear, turned and walked towards the village.

Every step is so firm and unshakable.

Bang bang~ bang bang bang~
Hearing the firm and powerful knock on the door, the village chief, who had been sitting silently like a rock in the dark room, seemed to have a soul and slowly turned his head.

Said in a hoarse voice.

"Who?"

"Ivan."

At this moment, his eyes had some light, but it dimmed again in an instant.

She wanted to refuse, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope. She slowly stood up and opened the locked door.

The cold moonlight is now penetrating the thick clouds and shining ahead.

The tall figure cast a long shadow.

The despair that the other party felt when he left has disappeared, replaced by an indescribable vitality.

Just by taking a look, you can feel the fighting spirit and high spirits.

Like a general returning in triumph.

This is definitely not a state that can be achieved after being hungry for several days.

"Ivan, what are you doing?"

The village chief's tone was full of strong doubt.

How could such a big change happen in just an hour?

At this moment, he seemed to sense something, his pupils shrank sharply, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

"You, your level."

Ivan said with a firm look.

"My Lord, the great swamp god, has just bestowed upon me divine grace, and my level has been raised to level 15!"

"I have the confidence that I can survive with all the people in the village!"

Level 15!
This level is nothing in the endless wilderness, but in this remote marginal village, it is already an extremely rare high level.

The village chief's heart trembled, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Is this really a reward from the gods?"

The power in Ivan's body was turning, and a fierce aura and pressure emanated from him.

In an instant, the whole village's heart trembled and their breathing froze.

His eyes became extremely bright at this moment, and he took a deep breath at last.

"Ivan, I am old and can no longer lead the village. Now it is up to you to lead the people to survive."

As he spoke, his old body slowly bent down, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head.

At this moment, the moonlight shifted, and Ivan's shadow enveloped the village chief.

The picture is frozen at this moment.

A few hours later, the sky brightened and the night turned into early morning.

In the small square of Huiyan Village, the bonfire had long been extinguished, leaving only a pile of ashes drifting in the wind.

More than two hundred villagers gathered in the old village amidst the excited shouts. Their faces were still haggard, but there was a hint of curiosity and expectation in their eyes.

Last night's quarrel left everyone exhausted, and the village chief's sudden excitement made them feel strange.

After the crowd had all gathered, someone couldn't help but ask a question.

"Village leader, what are we gathering for? Migrate the village, or continue to go out hunting?"

The old village chief shook his head slowly.

"Don't call me village chief anymore. Last night, I handed over the position of village chief to someone who is more capable of leading us."

"You mean"

At this moment, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and a tall figure was seen slowly approaching from the path outside the village.

What is shocking is that it carries an extremely huge black bear on its back.

Every step forward left a deep footprint on the ground, and he walked step by step to the front of the square.

bang~
With force from both hands, he threw the giant bear from his shoulders to the ground, and the earth shook.

Warm blood flowed out, and the stench spread in the freezing cold wind.

Only at this moment did the other party's specific appearance appear.

"It's At"

The crowd only came to their senses at this point, and the person in the front recognized the identity of the giant bear on the ground.

"Isn't this giant bear a level 10 creature 14 kilometers north?"

Suddenly there was an uproar.

"How is it possible? The black giant bear was killed by Et?"

"Last night, he went hunting a giant bear."

"That's a level 14 beast."

When they looked at Et in front of them again, their faces changed suddenly.

Awe, worship, all kinds of emotions.

Ivan was calm as usual, his eyes scanning every familiar face.

Just as he was about to speak, the old village chief stood up.

He said slowly.

"Last night, I passed the position of village chief to Et." He glanced at everyone.

"Aite was blessed by the great swamp god last night, and his strength has been greatly enhanced. From now on, he will lead us forward."

"In the future, Graystone Village will also become a loyal believer of the Swamp God!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was excited.

Some people showed doubtful expressions, while others had hope in their eyes.

Swamp God?

This strange name left no trace in their memory, but the strength displayed by Ivan made them dare not doubt it.

“Did the gods really respond?”

A young hunter asked in a low voice, "But we don't even have a sacrifice, how can the gods be interested in us?"

Upon hearing this, Ivan spoke in a high-pitched voice.

"The swamp god needs no sacrifices!"

"The great Lord only requires us to offer our faith!"

"Village Chief Aite, can you tell us about the Swamp God?"

"Of course, but I have not seen the great god himself, I have only seen the territory under his rule."

As he spoke, he described the scenes he saw in his mind: the vast swamp, the prosperous city of Weilu, the fertile farmland, and the cold-blooded cavalry, colorful candy dragons, and night elves that protected everything.
He described every detail in great detail, as if he had already been to that paradise.

The villagers gradually quieted down, and Ivan's words were like a ray of light, piercing the despair in their hearts.

And the giant bear in front of us is the best proof!

The crowd's eyes fell on the wooden spear in Ivan's hand.

The spear was covered with traces of battle, proof of the countless times Alvin had fought for the village.

When he mentioned that children no longer went hungry and the monsters in the wilderness had been driven out, several mothers couldn't help sobbing.

A middle-aged woman trembled and said, "If there really is such a god, I am willing to believe in Him!"

The old village chief stood up at this time and said in a deep voice.

"Don't think this is something we can choose. The fact is, this is our only chance."

"How glorious it is to be blessed by the gods?!"

"If we want to live, we must offer our faith and pray to the great swamp god!"

Ivan nodded slowly.

"No more nonsense, everyone, pray with me now! Offer your faith to the swamp god!"

"If we can be accepted by our Lord, we will no longer be lonely souls in the wilderness. We will have a future and we will live on!!"

Although the villagers still found it hard to believe that they were favored by the gods, they all nodded in response to Et's unquestionable attitude.

People in despair are often willing to grasp any glimmer of hope. Although the fertile land described by Alvin makes them yearn for it, what is more important is the giant bear in front of them!

Strength speaks for itself.

The city of slight dew.

Limestone Village was the first missionary sample, and Lear had been paying close attention to it. He wanted to see what At would do and what choices these desperate residents would make.

As everyone knelt on the ground and prayed loudly, the villagers' minds recalled the scenes that Et saw last night, as well as a tall and sacred figure.

In an instant, these two hundred people went from being direct believers to being deep believers.
What kind of existence is God?
High above, unfathomable, a supreme being that only exists in legends, possessing endless power and immortal life.

But at this moment, under their prayers, it appeared directly!

He revealed his sacred body to them, and even though it was blurry and nothing could be seen, it still brought them unspeakable shock and impact.

Without any words, these people have already completed the transformation of their faith.
Although Lear was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat surprised to see that these two hundred people became deep believers in just a few breaths.

After coming to his senses, he felt that he had underestimated the influence of gods on ordinary people in this world.

Even in modern times, with such advanced technology, there are still billions of devout believers.

That's still a false situation.

But in this fantasy world, gods really exist.

To be noticed by God himself is an unimaginable honor!

Seeing the entire Graystone Village enter a frenzy and Ivan's almost fanatical faith, Lear once again examined the missionary plan of the Abyss Dark Stone.

This definitely has endless potential.

Even more exaggerated than he expected!

Sensing this, Li Er's mind moved slightly and his eyes looked in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, the sky above Huiyan Village began to fluctuate quietly, like the surface of a lake blown by the wind.

The next moment, crack~ a space crack appeared.

The residents who were still praying suddenly looked up and watched in shock.

Dozens of bubbles floated out from the cracks and landed directly on the ground.

Then, with a click, the bubbles burst, revealing bags of fragrant swamp wheat and a large number of moonlight mushrooms.

The villagers were completely shocked by this miracle and felt their scalps tingling.

This is, this is the great swamp god's reward to them? ! !
God has come!!

The villagers knelt on the ground again. At this moment, all of them became devout believers, and more than half of them became fanatics at this moment.

A woman who was closest to her subconsciously reached out and grabbed a handful of husked swamp wheat and stuffed it directly into her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, tears welled up in her eyes.

“It’s real, real food!”

"Praise my God, praise my God!!"

The cracks in the sky slowly disappeared at this moment, and everything returned to calm.

It was not until this moment that the villagers tremblingly stood up and came to the mountain of food.

The food here is enough for them to consume for a whole year!
The village chief was leaning on a cane, looking at the scene with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice.

"Ivan, you are right. The great God really responded to us!"

“We have someone to rely on.”

Ivan gripped the wooden spear tightly, his eyes glowing with a fiery light.

He suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the crack.

My Lord, I will use everything to spread your glory!!
Over the next two days, Gray Rock Village underwent tremendous changes.

The swamp wheat and moonshine mushrooms not only filled the villagers' stomachs, but also restored their bodies.

Alvin organized young people to repair dilapidated houses, clean up debris in the village, and try to grow moonlight mushrooms.

Then I was surprised to find that the moonlight mushroom was just as the gods said, it could grow quickly as long as there was enough clean water.

In the wild, when ice covers the ground, there is nothing but water.

One after another, moonlight mushroom cultivation bases were opened up, and food was fundamentally solved.

At the same time, Et began to look at several nearby villages.

Great Lord, the glory needs them to spread!

In the following two days, on the 11th and 12th, hundreds of believers were born every day.

And all this depends on the preaching of At and his companions.

The cultivation area of ​​moonlight mushrooms has also begun to expand on a large scale, and these fast-growing foods have become a life-saving straw.

In the following period, relying on his powerful strength and the beliefs of the Swamp Cult, Et integrated these small villages and turned them into a medium-sized town with more than 6,000 people.

The daily rule is to pray to the great swamp god morning and night.
The success of Huiyan Village is like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

After tasting the sweet fruit, Lear ordered the Vatican's Congregation for Faith to expand the scale of the pilot project.

At the same time, the number of staff was increased to 2000.

Thanks to the efforts of these fanatics with firm beliefs, those lives that are gradually becoming desperate in the current environment have begun to turn to the Swamp Cult on a large scale.

With the power of 90 million faiths, Lear finally felt that it was not so far away.

As long as he realizes that the race of his faith is high enough, he will directly open up a space rift and allow the entire tribe to move into the swamp kingdom.

Without coordinates, he could not open the space rift, but once these believers believed in Lear, they provided the most solid coordinates.

In this way, using this almost cheating method, the manpower problem that was previously very difficult to solve finally has a solution.

The population of the territory began to grow rapidly. (End of this chapter)
