Don't call me evil god

Chapter 148 I will give you a new life!
Old Farmer Bill was the worst off of the 25 stand-ins.

He was once injured while scavenging, and the inflammation of the wound almost took his life. It left him with a chronic illness, and recently he even coughed up blood at the slightest provocation.

When Hugo showed up, he signed the contract without hesitation.

He has it all planned out.

He and his wife had a total of five children in his life. The first three died young due to various reasons. When giving birth to the fifth child, his wife died of dystocia and the baby could not be saved.

Only the fourth child grew up with some difficulties.

Old Bill named him "Ford", and the beneficiary of the deed was also Ford.

If someone is willing to hire him, he will do his best to do the job.

It's better to die in the dark forest. I heard that after death, you will go to the underworld of the sleeping death god Jaeger and there will be no more pain.

However, after he actually crossed the border and lost the protection of the miracle magic, he found that the impact of the evil god's pollution was much greater than he had imagined.

As soon as he passed through [Past Glory], it seemed as if countless dangerous beings were paying attention to him, staring at Old Bill intently, as if they wanted to devour him completely.

He felt nauseous, had abdominal cramps, sore limbs, and a dizzy head. The most uncomfortable thing was that he could hear deep and dark mumblings constantly in his ears.

I concentrated my attention and listened, but I couldn't make out any specific meaning.

Old Bill had already tried his best just to maintain his ability to move. He was even a little worried whether he could still carry out the instructions issued by his employer in this state, and whether he would collapse here.

What he didn't expect was that the first order issued by his employer was for them to pray to a god called the God of Knowledge.

"The God of Knowledge will give guidance and help to all believers equally!"

"I hired you here not to send you to your death, but to spread the gospel of a great being."

"Recite the prayer and offer your faith to Him!"

pray?

If prayer had worked, he wouldn't be here.

Old Bill had little hope.

When he was most desperate, he prayed to the God of Light, the God of Harvest, the God of Health and many others, but to no avail.

A long time ago, he did offer his faith in the God of Light in the church of the God of Light.

But that was just the basic blessing of faith.

If you want to get more blessings from the gods, you need to go to the church in the town again and pray under the guidance of the monks of the church.

The refugees could not enter the city as the road was blocked.

Occasionally, people from the church would come outside the city to organize charity and prayer ceremonies, and Old Bill would drag his uncomfortable body to participate.

But I don’t know if it’s because there were too many people participating in the prayer, some people did receive blessings from God, but Old Bill was not a lucky one.

He still had to struggle to get by, and the situation was so bad that he was about to collapse.

Otherwise, he would not have signed a contract with Hugo to become a "stand-in".

But since his employer told them to pray to God, he did so obediently.

It doesn’t matter even if it is an evil god. Everyone will die anyway. It’s just a matter of sooner or later, faster or slower.

Deep down, Old Bill had only one last bit of hope left.

If, he meant if.

Is there really a great God who is willing to bestow His divine power equally on every believer?

He no longer even expected to receive any miracle favored by the gods. Even just a little blessing would make his journey to the underworld of death less painful!
"In the endless universe..."

Under Pete's guidance, Old Bill reverently and seriously repeated the prayer word for word.

“…May your truth shine upon the earth!”

……

It seemed like a long time had passed. And yet it seemed like only a moment.

"Ding!"

【New believers detected.】

[The believer's identity has been registered. Welcome, Philip Bill. 】

【The benefits of the Seeking Knowledge Sect have been distributed. 】

【You have gained 10 knowledge points. 】

【I will give you a new life! 】

The oracle message that suddenly appeared in Old Bill's mind made him tremble uncontrollably.

"God..."

He actually received a response from a god! And it was a direct oracle, which even mentioned his name!

Not only that!

At the same time as he received the oracle, the terrible conditions that had previously been unbearable to him were also disappearing rapidly!

The malicious gaze left his body in a hurry as if escaping, the whispering in his ear disappeared, his mind became clear, and his physical condition also improved a lot!

Although the surrounding environment still made him feel a bit dirty and depressing, it was completely different from the desperate and suffocating feeling he had a few minutes ago!
Old Bill knelt down reverently.

A god!
He finally received the favor of God!

Just as Pete said during his missionary work, the God of Knowledge really provided him with shelter and helped him resist the malice and threats of the evil gods!
Old Bill, extremely excited, looked up and was about to express his gratitude to Pete, but was surprised to find that the reactions of other people around him were exactly the same as his.

Same excitement, same excitement!
Old Bill asked in disbelief:

"Me? You? Both of us?"

"Yes! I also received a response from the great god of knowledge!"

“He really does respond to all of us!”

"He even mentioned my name in the oracle! Great Lord!"

"God of knowledge! Thank you for your kindness!"

"..."

It is exactly as Pat said in his sermon.

A great being named "Nowen, the God of Knowledge" responded to everyone's prayers equally, sent down oracles, and bestowed blessings.

This is not a propaganda trick used by other gods’ churches, but a real miracle!

Old Bill and others' belief in Nowen skipped the process of gradually deepening from shallow believers, and at this moment, it became extremely firm.

As a guide, Pete patiently introduced them:
"The Lord is a unique old god. His existence is longer than that of the God of Light. He will guide believers to gain power and change their destiny."

"The points of knowledge are the guidance He gives us."

"With enough knowledge points, you can get help from the Lord."

"The way to become a professional, the ability to use divine arts... All you need to do to get the Lord's help is hard work!"

"Please remember, the Lord wants to see our efforts. As long as we follow His guidance, we will definitely get the corresponding rewards!"

"As described in the oracle you received."

"Our goal this time is the Creation Altar in the main quest!"

“This is His calling to all of us.”

"The opportunity to change your destiny and gain a new life has been handed over to you."

The new believers immediately responded with action!
