Don't call me evil god

Chapter 204 Civilization: Religious Immigration

When the oracle came down, Pete and others who had gathered at the altar of creation were all shocked for various reasons.

"What's the maximum number?"

"The Church of Seeking Knowledge is now unable to gather more believers?"

“Lord, does this mean that we don’t want to continue preaching to more people?”

Pete was confused at first.

After checking the specific content of the [Religious Immigration Mission] in the oracle, he understood.

"Oh...I think I understand!"

"Praise the God of Knowledge!"

……

There is a common sense that everyone on the continent of Prentis knows.

The power of gods mainly comes from the faith of mortals.

But not all mortals can receive true blessings from the gods after their faith.

The truth is, only a fraction of the mortals are truly blessed.

The more mortals who offer their faith to the gods, the richer the source of their faith, the stronger the power of the god will be, and the number of mortals he can bless will gradually increase.

On the contrary, if the number of believers decreases, the number of blessings that God can bestow will also decrease, and He may even take back the blessings He once bestowed.

This increase or decrease is not a linear change, but occurs in stages.

Every time a red tide of monsters breaks out, the number of blessings from the gods will change according to the number of his believers.

In addition, extremely rare distorted materials found on some monsters, or certain special items, can increase the number of blessings after being presented to the gods through divine rituals.

Mortals who offer items often receive a large amount of blessings as rewards.

Therefore, even for foreign gods with few believers and very weak priesthood and divine power, the churches formed by believers have never had any so-called restrictions on the number of believers who can join the church.

The missionaries of the corresponding church have always tried to attract as many people as possible to believe in God.

After all, the more believers there are, the more people will be blessed after the monster red tide in the second year.

Not to mention gods like the God of Craftsmen who are popular and powerful to ordinary people.

Priests don't even need to explain doctrine or preach the gospel, ordinary people will still scramble to offer their faith to Him.

The priests of the church will certainly not reject the requests of these people, and they will hold initiation ceremonies regularly.

The divine ritual materials needed to lead ordinary people in chanting prayers are definitely not free.

This cost is borne by the people participating in the ceremony.

The church can also make some money from it.

Whether or not one can receive the blessing of a response from the gods after chanting the prayer is another matter.

Anyway, the priests only perform ceremonies and collect fees.

As for the fact that you haven’t received blessings since you believed?

That is because you are not pious enough;
You are not qualified enough to be recognized by God!

Anyway, it has nothing to do with the church.

Why do other people who participated in the ceremony receive blessings from the gods while you don’t, since they all offered their faith?
Have you ever reflected on yourself and wondered if you are not working hard enough?

……

Petelius sighed: "Other churches don't even consider whether the believers they recruit can be blessed. Their priests only preach that as long as their faith is pious enough and they meet the qualifications, they can be blessed."

"As for how to meet the qualifications, they don't know either." "After all, they have already met the qualifications to obtain the blessing and have separated themselves from ordinary people."

"They recruit new church members because they are worried that the gods might withdraw their blessings when their power decreases. They just use a larger base of believers to ensure the stability of their blessings."

"The God of Knowledge is different. He is from the old days. He must have a unique way to gain power!"

"Otherwise, how could He bestow blessings on all believers, and be so fair and selfless that believers can receive His rewards as long as they pray devoutly?"

“He clearly told us that only 1000 believers can receive His gift now!”

“【Perfect Permission】is probably a way for the Lord to gain more divine power, so that He can bestow more blessings on us!”

The goal is clear.

I want to expand the church, spread the teachings to more people, and most importantly, allow more people to receive the power blessed by the God of knowledge.

Then you have to follow the guidance of the God of Knowledge and explore the dangerous and mysterious dark dungeons.

For the current believers of the Church of Knowledge, the word "danger" can be ignored to a certain extent.

Having the magic of [Resurrection] means you only have one life!
It's death, but you can be a hero again after being resurrected in the Altar of Creation. The worst that can happen is that you have to practice to the legendary level again!
……

The only problem at the moment is:

The number of believers in the Misty Valley is still too small!

Because in the beginning, Nowen recruited believers in Green Port. At that time, he didn't know about the upper limit of the number of believers, so more than 8% of the believers were there, and most of them were ordinary people who had no intention of becoming professionals to fight.

After the Glowing Light Cult issued an order to expel heretics, the speed of missionary work in Green Port slowed down significantly, and even some ordinary believers abandoned their faith.

The point is that there are still a large number of believers remaining in Greenport.

After considering it, they decided not to take any risks and did not follow Norwen's guidance to the Misty Valley.

In the past, Novin could understand why these people were unwilling to take risks and fight.

Now, that's different!

The divine art of [Resurrection] needs to be registered at the Altar of Creation, and the developments in the Misty Valley are almost on track!
The conditions for religious immigration have been met!

Why are you still staying in Greenport?

If you don’t have to worry about death, what else do you need to worry about?
The dark dungeon was extremely huge, and the more than 100 believers in the valley would not even make a splash if they entered it.

Norman needs more people.

He planned to call over a large number of believers from Green Port!

The [Religious Immigration] mission was issued by him for this purpose.

This is the first mission Norwin has released that has a penalty.

The quest requires believers who have not yet gone to Misty Valley to arrive at Misty Valley within 60 days and explore the Dark Crypt at least once within 180 days.

The penalty for failure is simple and severe.

The blessing is taken back and you lose your qualification as a believer!
With the divine power of [Resurrection], these task requirements are not difficult to meet.

Even though the mission issued by Nowen was called [Religious Immigration], he did not actually force believers to immigrate and settle in the Misty Valley.

After exploring the Dark Crypt once and completing the mission, if they don't mind the trouble, they can also choose to return to Green Port.

This is a general mobilization of all believers by Novan!
The great god of knowledge, Noven, provides equal blessings and guidance to believers, allowing them to change their own destiny.

Now is the time for believers to return this blessing.

Moreover, Nowen also offered quite generous rewards to those believers who were willing to immigrate from Green Port.
