After the transformation of her faith, the girl became completely reverent. Wholeheartedly believed that the god had given her a powerful power, she took a deep breath according to the intuition in her heart and clenched her fists.

At that instant, streams of water slowly condensed around her body. They were first stationery and then slowly started to intertwine and revolve in some mysterious orbit like a planet revolving around a star.

At the same time, a gentle whirlwind was formed silently under Katherine’s feet, winding her ankle and holding the girl into the air.

“You’re right, Sir Messenger. The so-called piety is just a question on your heart. Thank you for your advice and the gift from our Lord.” breaking through all the mechanical laws on Earth with the power of divine magic, Katherine hovered in the air and savored the unprecedented tranquility and joy deep in her heart. Looking at the black-haired young man before her, she said quietly.

“You can actually achieve such perfect control on your first spellcasting? And your belief has become extremely thorough now after tempering to become a fanatic right away? Looks like I’ve inadvertently seized the main key in spreading the belief in both scientific and technological civilization based on science.” Zhang Lisheng looked back at the girl and opened his mouth. He was the one who had a surprised look on his face instead.

The scene that took place next baffled the young man even more. Before he could even continue to induce her, Katherine had already flown away from his side towards the Earth’s Wizard Li believers who were staring straight at them in shock like a fool.

Looking around at her partners that she recruited after tons of effort, the girl revealed a noble and virtuous gaze as she began to excite the mass by stretching the truth. “Brothers and sisters, all of you have personally witnessed the gift that God has bestowed to me. Just a few minutes ago, I was just one ordinary human being like you, but now I have gained extraordinary strength, eternal health, young body, a spirit of peace and joy, and a path to heaven in the future… There’s only one condition if you want to get all these, that is, to present your pious faith to the Wizard Li God and work diligently to spread his glory. Now, I’m going to ask all of you like how Sir Messenger asked me. Ask your own heart, are you willing to believe in the great Wizard Li God and spread his glory all over this already darkened and hopeless city? Are you willing to use your humble beliefs to exchange for powerful supernatural powers, eternal youthful bodies, a ticket to the heaven and eternal joy? Are you willing to give a chance of true redemption to your other compatriots? Tell me, are you willing to do so? Are you? Are you?”

After a period of Katherine’s hurried inquiries, the 100 people in the room burst out roaring at the top of their lungs, “We’re willing! We’re willing! May the glory of Wizard Li God be with us…”

“Good! Mike, Alonsol, Jerfen, get your guns and let us seize this opportunity where the Eternal Undead’s fighter have all died to preach at their territory!” Katherine waved her hand firmly without warning and brought along with her a strong wind as she roar.

“That’s right! Afina was killed by the Eternal Undead! It’s time for them to pay the price now! This son of a b*tch! We’ll kill them all if they don’t convert to Wizard Li God…”

“It’s finally our time to show our might! Hahahaha! I knew that we’ll be able to gain a greater power believing in the true God than those who believe in those devils…”

“Let us remove the Empty Pastoral Song after devouring the Eternal Undead! Since the Wizard Li God can bestow his believers such a powerful supernatural power, sooner or later we can turn the entire New York into our territory…” The excited believers charged outside without any scruples.

Katherine, on the other hand, flew back to Zhang Lisheng. “Sir Messenger, in order to thank God for his bestowal, I’ll go preach for the Wizard Li God now. Are you coming with us?”

“O-Of course, Katherine.” The young man snapped back from his surprise and looked at the girl as if he did not know her at all. “Even though I could guess that you’re very capable, your performance just now far exceeded my expectations…”

“I have a master’s degree in social management from Brown University so I’m proficient in speech and human resource management. Not only that, but I’ve also spent eight months and seven days in Queens, New York, which has become like a purgatory. It was only a small ‘performance’ just now.” Katherine flashed a faint smile at the black-haired young man in front of her and turned to float out of the room.

“She still maintains her independent thinking ability even though she has become a fanatic because she’s born and raised in a bustling metropolis?” Looking at the receding back of the girl, Zhang Lisheng shrugged and mumbled, “A human heart can never be deciphered.”

Then, he proceeded to rise to the air and disappeared instantly without a trace as well.

The benefits brought by a good preparation were very obvious. With the power of faith provided by more than two billion believers in Shrimp World No. 2, in the following more than ten days, the young man took the lead to conquer with absolute force first and then did not hesitate to provide spellcasting ability on a large number of believers on Earth to consolidate his movement and to rapidly expand his territory.

He first defeated several dozens of cults of various sizes and took control of the entire Queens area in New York. During the brutal massacres, he found that some cult was actually nothing but tools for some mentally ill person who had bewitching power to achieve their ambitions. Some of them, on the other hand, had dark supernatural beings with ancient heritage hidden behind them.

The chaotic war situation was like a raging river that was released from a dam, as it washed out many of the dregs that had been deeply hidden in the invisible dark side of human society for a long time. On the other hand, perhaps the government and the Atlanteans no longer had any spare power, or perhaps they had some unknown plans, as they adopted an invisible laissez-faire attitude towards all kinds of chaos…

The Queens area in New York was only over 180 square kilometers. It was ridiculously small to become a god’s “grazing land” in terms of area. However, from a population perspective, as an international metropolitan area, even though migration and war had led to a one-third decrease of its members, there were still about 1.4 million people of all colors living in Queens.

Such a population was enough to be compared to a medium-sized city in the Shrimp World No. 2, it could already be regarded as a ‘rich’ parish.

In a blink of an eye, it had already been two weeks since Zhang Lisheng returned to Earth.

In the evening today, another icy rainstorm fell from the sky. Under the escorts from armored vehicles and armed helicopters that continued to circle around the sky, food delivery trucks ignored the pleading and cursing of the long queue of dispirited refugees in ragged clothes who were desperately waiting to get their hands on food. They fired a warning shot to disperse the crowd, and hurriedly left the dirty streets of New York’s Bronx.

Outside a warehouse with closed iron gates on the street, Zhang Lisheng was wearing a thick rubber raincoat as he stared at the convoy leaving the scene. A cold joy appeared on his face as he told a short strong black man, with a round face with his front teeth missing and a cracked thick dark purple lips who had an indescribable sense of malice when he smiled, “Look Habe, Bronz is about to be abandoned by the government too.”

“Sir Messenger.” The short strong black man chuckled and answered in a tone that was far more intelligent than his appearance, “They actually dispatch a rhino armored car and a black hawk helicopter in order to prevent the mob from robbing food. The way to dispatch a material that costs twice the price of the bread is even more wasteful than the assistance they gave to the Democratic Republic of the Congo during peacetime. What else they can do if they don’t abandon the Bronx? Of course, such delivery that is full of pretense will not be interrupted but the size of the convoy will be getting smaller and smaller. They’ll fill the remaining fuel into the crematorium and wait for the starving refugees to be burned out. Solving the problem once and for all is the best smart approach. ”

“Your views are always so cruel but practical, Habe. Actually, since the first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that you’re a wise man who lives on drug trafficking and you’re better suited to lead Wizard Li religion to advance in this chaotic world than Katherine…” Zhang Lisheng remarked slowly in an admiring tone.

Upon hearing his words, a stream of unclear brilliance flashed across the short strong man’s eyes. Sighing, he interrupted the young man’s words, “Unfortunately, I converted to Wizard Li more than ten months later than Chief Priest Katherine. The current church was founded by her so the God will not allow me to take her place no matter what.”

“That’s why I said that you’re a wise man, Habe.” Zhang Lisheng smiled and nodded in the pouring rain. “As the founder of the Wizard Li religion, Katherine is indeed irreplaceable. Because of this, you can only pursue a relatively independent position…”

Upon hearing this unfinished sentence, Habe fell into contemplation while the young man waited quietly without saying any words. After a few minutes, he heard the short strong man said in a vicious voice, “You mean, I must leave New York, Sir Messenger?”

As a successful ex-drug dealer in a black community in a metropolis since he was a child, sometimes even belief and death might not be able to swallow his anger infinitely.

“I do indeed plan to find a qualified priest to open a new parish in Los Angeles. Not only that, but I will also find someone to go to Philadelphia, San Francisco, Atlanta, and even London and Paris but I won’t force any Wizard Li priest to leave, Habe. If you’re willing to, you can stay in New York forever, and leave this opportunity to the others.” Zhang Lisheng said with a shrug.

“I didn’t say that I don’t want to go to Los Angeles to open a new parish, Sir Messenger.” Habe fell into a moment of silence before replying in a changed tone with a smile, “I’ve been there before. There are mountains and water, it’s a very good place! But, how many priests can I bring with me? Of course, we can leave right away if you could come with me together.”

“I’ll soon return to the divine kingdom, Habe so it’s impossible for me to go to Los Angeles with you.” Zhang Lisheng laid out the conditions that he had previously thought out, “However, if you’ve proven your piety and are willing to leave New York and explore a new suburb, I can raise your priest power by two levels. Even though you still won’t be as good as Katherine, you’ll still be second only to her. Not only that, but you can also bring along 200 first-ranked, 70 second-ranked, and 20 third-ranked high priests. ”

As soon as the young man’s words left his mouth, Habe replied in satisfaction without bargaining, “I’ll do it, Sir Messenger. And I’m willing to leave now right away!”
