The pale young man was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked:
"Can you gain eternal life by believing in the God of Lava?"
The man in the cassock was also stunned for a moment. Under the dim light, Duan Hui's face was revealed as he couldn't laugh or cry. The so-called "those who believe in me will have eternal life" was just a boast he made casually. Who would have thought that the third son of Viscount Bill Macpherson in front of him would do this?
Ask seriously.
But...seeing the young man's eager eyes, he thought for a while and nodded seriously:
"Believe in our Lord and you will have eternal life!"
After speaking, he added:
“But you must be a devout believer in our Lord and make great contributions to our Lord’s faith, then you can obtain the gift of our Lord and obtain eternal life!”
Strictly speaking, he didn't panic. If he could really make great contributions to Ye Chen, he wouldn't mind granting him divinity to make him immortal.
Three days later, the second son of the Macpherson family was attacked and killed by a wild animal while playing in the wild.
Seven days later, the eldest son of the Macpherson family was attacked by thieves while returning to the castle from the military camp. He was seriously injured and died that night after returning to the castle.
In just a few days, two of the three sons of Patriarch McPherson died, leaving only a third son with mediocre talent to survive.
In Castle Corley, the tall figure of Viscount Joel, the contemporary patriarch of Macpherson, is sitting on the throne. He is fully armored and holding a long sword in his hand. A fierce aura arises spontaneously, and in front of him is his third son kneeling on the ground.
Bill McPherson was extremely thin, looking like a little sheep kneeling in front of a ferocious lion.
Viscount Joel stared at his only remaining son in front of him. The hand holding the sword hilt in his right hand was trembling slightly, and he asked in a suppressed voice:
"Why did you kill your brother?"
Bill, who was kneeling on the ground and seemed thin, slowly raised his head, with no fear in his eyes. He looked like two completely different people from Shitian's cowardly look. He looked at his father expressionlessly and said in a deep voice:
"Why do I want to kill them, doesn't my father understand? I want to be the master of Fort Corre, and I want to be the next generation of Viscount Macpherson!"
Feeling the power surging within his body, Bill made no secret of his ambition at this moment.
After Duan Hui killed his second brother, he threw himself into the arms of the Lava Church. When his elder brother died, his faith immediately reached the level of a true believer. Then, with the power given by the great Lava God, he reached the level of a devout believer on the spot.
Today, he is a priest of the Lava God with career level 5.
His unabashed ambition made Viscount Joel startled, and then surging anger surged into his heart uncontrollably. With a 'choking' sound, the sword in his hand was drawn out, and the sharp cold light made Bill's fiery heart skip a beat, cooling him down from his fanaticism.
He came down, knelt down and shouted:
"Father, I am your only son now."
Viscount Joel's hand froze, his lips moved slightly, he raised his hand and slapped Bill hard, knocking Bill to the ground. After a long time, he left with a word:
"Starting tomorrow, go to the military camp for training."
The footsteps left and the hall became quiet, but soon there was extremely suppressed laughter, laughter, and wild laughter.
Bill bent over and laughed wildly. At this moment, he knew that he had won. From now on, he would be the only heir to the MacPherson family.
Kneeling heavily on the ground, he spread his hands and kowtowed heavily on the ground, thinking silently in his heart:
"Great God of Lava, your humble followers offer you everything I have!"
At the bottom of the lava lake that had expanded dozens of times, Ye Chen was suddenly surprised to find that the number of his followers was growing rapidly, and most of them were shallow believers. True believers could be seen from time to time, and even several devout believers appeared.
Among them, the one with the highest degree of faith is a man named Bill. His degree of faith has now surpassed that of Duan Hui and others whom he personally inspired. He is now the one with the highest degree of faith among all his followers, and has received his special attention.
Since killing the two brothers and becoming the only heir to the MacPherson family, Bill has gradually begun to take over the power left by the two dead brothers and began to vigorously promote the God of Lava.
In the world of gods, there is absolute freedom of belief, and no one can interfere with other people's beliefs. Even if his father, Viscount Joel, believes in the God of War, and his son believes in other gods, he cannot interfere.
It has to be said that taking the upper-level route is indeed one of the best ways to promote faith. With the personal promotion of the only heir of the Viscount, the faith spread extremely quickly. The name Lava God soon became the hottest term in Kore City.
The spread among players is not as good as expected.
Duan Hui and the other seven posted several messages in the real-life forum, which indeed attracted the attention of some players, but as Ye Chen worried, it is difficult for real-life humans who have a clear understanding of the nature of gods to have true faith in an alien god.
So far, many people know his god's name, but there are only more than a hundred people who can truly generate the power of faith, and there is not a single devout believer among them.
After waiting for a while, Duan Hui and the others were a little disappointed with real players, and then they found a solution in the game.
It just so happened that the female thief named Zhuo Yuchen among the seven was actually born into a wealthy family. After learning about Kore City, she set her sights on the ruler of Kore City. Viscount Joel is the God of War.
The devout believers were unable to preach, so they had to choose one of his three sons. Among them, the helpless third son appeared in their sight.
After some operations, Bill became the sole heir of the Macpherson family. He would become the new Viscount Macpherson as soon as the old Viscount died. The most important thing was that Bill already had a devout faith. It was foreseeable that in the near future, the entire city of Kore would turn into lava.
Church territory.
The changes in the MacPherson family have certainly attracted the attention of the forces in Kore City. Most of the forces have nothing to do with the matter. Only the Church of the God of War, which has a direct faith conflict with the Lava Church, cannot ignore it.
In the Cathedral of the God of War in Kore City, Bishop Big was meeting a man in black robes in the secret room. He said in a deep voice:
"It has been found that Bill, the third son of Viscount Joel, has embraced heresy. This is a dangerous sign. He will affect our Lord's faith in the Diocese of Corre, and the heresy must be eradicated!"
Anyone who calls God by his name will be known to Him. Bishop Big called a heretic. The man in black in front of him knew exactly what he was referring to and said in a deep voice:
"Do you know the size of the heretical church?"
Bishop Bigger immediately replied:
"A level 15 mage, a level 15 shield warrior, a level 15 ranger, and the remaining three warriors and a thief are all level 14."
After a pause, Bishop Big added:
"When they left Kore City three months ago, the strongest one was only level 12, but after they came back from Fenai Swamp, their strength increased dramatically and they had devout faith. I suspect..."
