A deity should look the part of a deity—he had really been far too undignified just now~

He hurriedly restrained his consciousness in secret, pretending nothing had happened, and deliberately lowered his voice to say in a solemn manner, “Humble shallow believer, state your wish.”

Now that was the attitude a god ought to have.

The majestic voice, carried by divine power, echoed in Catherine’s mind like a great bell.

Catherine was shaken to the core. Ignoring the mud, she held up her cross and knelt in worship: “Great Lord of Light, please save your believer~”

Because of the unexpected response from the God of Light.

In that instant, her awe and faith in the God of Light soared to an unprecedented height.

As soon as she spoke those words, William Clark clearly felt the channel of faith between her and his divinity rapidly strengthen and solidify—almost in the blink of an eye, it was ten times stronger than before.

“Hm? She’s become a true believer?”

William Clark was secretly delighted. He sank his consciousness into his divinity to check, and sure enough, he saw the change.

The number after “true believers” had changed from 0 to 1!

Good! Good! Good! Just by descending his consciousness, he had gained a true believer.

This was William Clark’s very first true believer. The value of each true believer surpassed that of ten shallow believers—they were the cornerstone of the faithful.

However, almost at the same time, he also noticed the change in his divine power.

Divine Power: 0.9 points (Warning: Divine power is extremely depleted, please replenish as soon as possible).

William Clark hadn’t expected that even such a simple descent of consciousness would consume 0.1 points of divine power, and he felt a pang of heartache.

That was equivalent to 100 points of faith power! A true believer with stable faith was worth ten shallow believers and could generate about 0.01 faith power per day—it would take nearly thirty years just to break even.

He instantly understood—no wonder gods rarely paid attention to individual shallow or true believers; the investment-to-return ratio was just too low!

But now, William Clark only had a few dozen shallow believers left. To him at this moment, every shallow believer was precious—more important than the most powerful saints of the previous Lord of Light.

A true believer was even more precious, a treasure to be cherished in the palm of his hand.

He knew that every moment he descended was consuming divine power. Though the consumption was slight, it could not be wasted. Hearing Catherine’s words, he agreed without hesitation.

“As you wish.”

The mighty, majestic divine voice rang out in Catherine’s mind.

The next moment, a beam of white light burst forth from the silver cross that Catherine held high above her head, instantly enveloping her whole body.

At the same time, all of Catherine’s information appeared in William Clark’s consciousness.

Name: Catherine

Gender: Female

Age: 16 (in the bloom of youth)

Potential: Superior (one in ten thousand, has a chance to advance to High Nun)

Faith: God of Light (true believer)

Occupation: Novice Nun (God of Light)

Level: Level 0 (weak, ordinary human standard)

Divine Arts Mastered: 1. Light Healing Art Level 0 (can heal extremely minor wounds) 2. Light Blessing Art Level 0 (can extremely slightly enhance allies’ combat power)

Seeing the word “Superior” after Potential, William Clark was delighted.

You had to know, only those with at least one-in-ten-thousand talent could be called “Superior.” This girl’s potential was much better than he had imagined.

He no longer hesitated. With a thought, he gave a command to his divinity: “Divinity, raise true believer Catherine’s cultivation level.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and majestic power was drawn from within him, flowing through the silver cross into Catherine’s body, beginning to enhance her strength.

At the same time, Catherine also felt an incomparably immense power enter her body. She instantly felt clear-headed, sharp-eared, and even her body seemed to become light as a feather in an instant.

Could this be the divine blessing that Father Luke spoke of? My god, only the most devout believers could possibly receive such divine favor.

Her azure eyes lit up instantly, and she trembled all over with excitement.

Chapter 4: The Making of a Saintess

……

A trace of William Clark’s consciousness was attached to the silver cross, and he immediately sensed Catherine’s thoughts with keen clarity, feeling satisfied. As expected, she was a clever girl. This way, he could bestow blessings with peace of mind, at least not worrying that his divine power would go to waste.

Actually, he could have used divine power to directly kill those imperial soldiers.

Even though he only had 0.9 points of divine power left, even a mosquito’s leg was still divine power. As long as William Clark was willing to use a small portion, those weak imperial soldiers would die instantly.

But William Clark had no intention of doing so.

Though it would be simple and crude, the cost-effectiveness was just too low.

What he urgently needed now was a representative who could stabilize and spread his faith for him, not just one or two more believers. Having finally descended and found a suitable candidate, of course he would prioritize spending his divine power on the representative he intended to cultivate.
