"Many things are easier said than done."
The middle-aged chef had spoken with Harvey once before and knew that although the young man looked young, he was incredibly calm and composed.
Chapter 458 Harvey's Trip
"Yes, everyone understands that it's easier said than done."
"There are too many people who only know how to talk nicely."
"Those who initially intended to just get by, or those who were just trying their luck on a whim, deserve not to receive the blessing of the void."
After hearing what the middle-aged chef said, Harvey ordered his food, sat down, and said with a smile.
The trials set by the Church of the Void were set by him, and over the years he has observed the character of many who come seeking his blessings.
Most of them come here hoping to try their luck, and after learning some information, they just go through the motions.
Then, after less than half a month, he became impatient and began to question and test them in private.
Those who manage to pass his test are basically those who hold firm to their belief that they will not leave until they receive his blessing.
Claudia is an example; initially, Harvey didn't consider the issue of the Void Cult having more men than women.
Therefore, when Claudia came seeking a blessing, the trial lasted the longest.
While most trials last one or two months, Claudia's trial lasted four months.
Claudia came seeking a blessing for a simple reason: she longed for the power to avenge her homeland.
Harvey considered that revenge, once accomplished, can easily lead to a loss of direction, so he thought about it for a long time.
After observing her for four months, he finally made an exception and allowed Claudia to become the first person to join the Cult of the Void with a belief in revenge.
It was also because after Claudia joined that Harvey allowed for a longer period of testing.
Beliefs without action are just empty words; they can never be truly put into practice.
The conviction that comes from genuine willingness to take action cannot be faked.
"While I don't deny that what you said is true, you might get beaten up if you say those things."
Upon hearing Harvey's words, the middle-aged chef launched into a tirade, looked around, and whispered...
He personally witnessed many people successfully receive the blessing of the void, and those people were all people with firm beliefs.
Therefore, he does not question whether ordinary people can receive blessings from the void, but they also need to put in the corresponding effort.
"This is Void Island, do they dare to attack me?"
Harvey was somewhat surprised by what the middle-aged chef said.
"They won't dare to hit you or cause trouble on the island, but if they set their sights on you, you'll be beaten up after you leave Void Island, and you might even lose your life."
The middle-aged chef looked around and, finding that there weren't many people around, continued to speak in a very low voice.
"Is that so?"
Harvey was also surprised when he heard what the middle-aged chef said.
He can overlook Xandar, but he usually only looks down at the situation within the Void Isles.
So this was the first time he had ever heard of someone being attacked or killed after leaving the Void Island.
"As the reputation of the Void God Cult grew, more and more superpowered individuals came seeking its blessings."
"They're used to being arrogant outside, but they have to act like pushovers when they come to Void Island to seek blessings."
"Moreover, they pretended to be subservient for a long time but did not receive any blessings, so they left disappointed and resentful."
"If they hear something and hold a grudge, they won't dare to cause trouble on the island, but after leaving, they'll have to vent their frustrations, right?"
"So even if what you say is correct, you still have to think carefully, lest you offend someone unintentionally and end up not being able to leave alive."
The middle-aged chef, seeing that the young man was unaware of these things, explained the situation to him.
This is also why he believes that some people had impure motives from the beginning, or that their beliefs were insufficient.
He had met at least four hundred of the most important figures in the Void God Cult, if not all of them.
Of all the important figures, only Lord Enma Lix looks rather intimidating; the others are generally quite easygoing.
Moreover, Lord Alex may look scary and have a rather eccentric personality, but when it comes to praising someone after eating something delicious, he is absolutely generous with his compliments.
It can be said that as long as one receives the blessing of the void, although their personalities may differ, they all share one essential quality: they will not bully the weak without reason.
On the contrary, they are very friendly to those who come seeking blessings, as well as to the people who work on the island.
They also discussed why this was the case.
The final conclusion was that it was probably because they knew that anyone could join the Cult of the Void and receive blessings.
"Row."
Harvey saw that the middle-aged man was clearly afraid of being overheard, yet he still reminded him. Harvey didn't say anything about not being afraid, but simply nodded in agreement.
When Sonia returns, he will have to ask her to send some people to rectify this situation.
Because regardless of whether those who come seeking blessings succeed or not, at least it must be ensured that they do not die because of the Cult of the Void.
It's alright that the number of dead and injured is small now, but if many people offend others unintentionally with just a few words, the number of deaths could increase shortly after leaving the island.
This will definitely affect the reputation of the Void God Cult.
Although Harvey never claimed that the Void Cult he founded was a righteous force.
He led the charge and conquered the Void, so it's not exactly a good thing.
There are many people outside the Void God Cult who worship it, but there are certainly many more who fear and are wary of it.
Despite its notorious reputation, it doesn't mean that we can allow others to smear the Void God Cult at will.
"Young man, you have quite the appetite. Have you already received the blessing of the God of the Void?"
The middle-aged chef began serving Harvey the dishes and spoke up.
"People often think that way, but I just have a naturally good appetite."
Harvey smiled and said upon hearing this.
"So that's how it is."
"A good appetite is a blessing."
The middle-aged chef didn't doubt Harvey's words much and smiled as he spoke.
Joining the Void God Cult is something to be proud of and something to be said boldly. If this young man has joined, there is no reason to hide it.
"I think so too."
Harvey nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The last time he saw this middle-aged chef was when Sonia was taking stock of the spoils from the Land of Nothingness.
Because of his special status and large appetite, indulging in excessive eating and drinking could easily arouse suspicion among some members of the Void God Cult.
Therefore, he only dared to come secretly when there were fewer people.
"Speaking of which, if you haven't succeeded yet, how long do you plan to stay on the island?"
Seeing Harvey's friendly appearance and not having many customers, the middle-aged chef sat down at the table next to Harvey.
"Then we'll stay until I feel there's really no hope left."
Harvey smiled and said upon hearing this.
"You've been here for almost five months and still haven't succeeded. Do you still think you have any hope?"
The middle-aged chef was somewhat surprised when he heard Harvey's words.
"Although it has been almost five months and I have not yet received a blessing, my hopes have probably diminished considerably."
"But even if my hopes have diminished, at least I haven't given up, have I?"
"As long as you don't give up, there is a possibility of receiving blessings."
Harvey responded calmly upon hearing this.
"Is it possible just because you haven't given up? That's such an optimistic thought."
"But only someone like you can receive the blessing of the void."
"Someone like me, who has stayed on the island for several years, even knows that the blessing is real."
"After hoping for a blessing for more than a month with no progress, I had already given up because I felt that I was not cut out for it."
"That's the kind of thing you just mentioned, the kind where you act on a whim or try your luck."
The middle-aged chef was somewhat moved by the confidence that Harvey exuded.
"Although you failed, it allowed you to see yourself clearly. When others pointed out your weaknesses, you didn't get angry. Instead, you dared to admit it, which is a kind of gain."
Harvey didn't refute the other person's description of him as having an optimistic outlook; instead, he smiled and said...
Because he used to think the same way about those who came seeking blessings.
However, through repeated observations, Harvey realized that while not everyone possesses conviction, the world is never short of people with unwavering beliefs.
"At first, I also felt very frustrated."
"Why can't I gain the approval of Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void, and receive the blessing to soar to the heavens, while others can?"
"Later, I saw many people who came seeking blessings and successfully joined, most of whom were people with firm beliefs."
"Compared to them, my decision was just a whim, so it's understandable that I failed. That's why I've gradually come to terms with it."
After being praised by Harvey, the middle-aged chef scratched the back of his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.
He has worked here for more than five years, and his years of witnessing have given him a general understanding of what the trials of the Void God Cult are all about.
It also reveals who has a higher probability of gaining Lord Kassadin's approval and joining the Cult of the Void.
For example, the young man in front of him is optimistic, cheerful, and has a strong belief in his own personality, so he is likely to join the Void God Cult.
However, he knows what kind of people are more likely to join, but that doesn't mean he can do that himself.
Is this some kind of reminder?
