"All of it?" The god-level experts present fell silent. Perhaps they felt Sean was being too overbearing, but none dared to be the first to speak out; no one wanted to offend an existence far stronger than themselves.

"All of it, though not permanently. I am only one final step away from breaking through to a Midgod, so I need to borrow the Power of Faith. Once I become a Midgod, I will definitely slaughter Patrick, and then everyone will be safe," Sean said indifferently.

"Once I reach the Midgod realm, I will return all of your territories. Even if I still need the Power of Faith, don't forget that even a dozen years ago, the Radiant Church only occupied half the area of the Zhongyuan Continent."

Once he reached the Midgod realm, killing Patrick would be a matter of minutes; the other party wouldn't even be able to run.

As for the Power of Faith in the future, he wouldn't need to fight these people for it. The Zhongyuan Continent was vast, not to mention the expansive South Sea and East Sea.

The people present discussed it via divine sense for a while, and then Mi Piaozheng said, "Fine, we can agree. Starting tomorrow, everyone in all the territories of the Radiant Church will begin to change their faith to your name."

"How many God Divine Sparks do you need?" Sean asked again.

"The more, the better. We know this request might be excessive, but the more god-level experts we have, the safer everyone will be in the future. Even if they are Lowgods who have only refined a God Divine Spark, a large enough number will still make a Midgod like Patrick wary," Mipiaozhen said.

"Fine." Sean nodded in agreement, then with a thought, 22 Lowgod God Divine Sparks appeared directly in front of him.

Although God Divine Sparks could strengthen one's body, and he had already consumed over a hundred, he was still far from his limit, so adding another 20 wouldn't make much of a difference.

When facing a Midgod, his weakness was his soul, not his body.

For now, this course of action was the most beneficial for him. Besides, once he reached the Midgod realm, he could consume Midgod God Divine Sparks; Lowgod God Divine Sparks would no longer be of much significance.

Moreover, these 20-plus God Divine Sparks were not being given away for free.

"So many?" Everyone was shocked. They had expected at most the 6 God Divine Sparks from the previously killed Darkness Church members, but they hadn't expected over a dozen more.

"Where did these God Divine Sparks come from?" Everyone was very curious.

It wouldn't be hard for someone of Sean's strength to kill a dozen Lowgods, but the Zhongyuan Continent didn't have that many Lowgods. Unless he had gone to the South Sea, where there were more god-level experts.

"You decide for yourselves who will refine these God Divine Sparks, but these people must swear a Supreme God Oath to obey my commands within the next million years. As long as it isn't an act of certain death, they must comply, otherwise, I will reclaim the God Divine Spark," Sean said indifferently.

Reclaiming a God Divine Spark, naturally, meant certain death.

These God Divine Sparks were actually top-tier treasures of the material plane; under normal circumstances, he would never take them out casually.

But now, he also needed the Radiant Church to be stronger, otherwise, it would cause him great trouble, or even danger.

"That's no problem." After Mipiaozhen discussed it with the others, he agreed.

"Then that's settled. However, I still suggest that those who have a chance to become gods independently should not refine a God Divine Spark," Sean added.

"Fine, we will trade after we have negotiated, but we will arrange for the Power of Faith you need immediately," Mi Piaozheng nodded and said.

These people had been enjoying the Power of Faith for millions of years, the least of them for hundreds of thousands of years. It wasn't that it had no effect, but the efficacy was already very low, certainly incomparable to the stage of just becoming a god.

This method of assisting cultivation was most effective in the early stages, becoming worse over time, until one relied on slowly grinding through time. Once a bottleneck was reached, if there was no qualitative change, it was basically ineffective.

As for the God Divine Sparks, the goal wasn't for their own use, but for their close relatives and friends. Who to give them to and which attributes to choose indeed required careful internal discussion.

"That's good." Sean nodded, then took back all the God Divine Sparks.

"These are 22 Soul Golden Beads. For you, they are very useful whether used during combat or for strengthening your soul in daily life." Mi Piaozheng also turned and took out 22 Soul Golden Beads, which then flew toward Sean under the control of his mind.

Sean also put the Soul Golden Beads back into the Coiling Dragon Ring. These Soul Golden Beads, which could buy hundreds of Lowgod God Divine Sparks in the Higher Planes, were actually less valuable than Lowgod God Divine Sparks in the material plane.

As for where these Soul Golden Beads came from, Sean didn't ask. Just like in his past life, a lion killing a cow was a law of nature, as long as it wasn't his own cow being killed.

Subsequently, everyone discussed the current situation. The only problem was, in fact, Patrick.

Regarding this potential threat, there was no solution in the short term. As for Sean's claim that he could break through to a Midgod, that was perhaps the only hope.

If anyone else had said this, the 10 Lowgods present certainly wouldn't have believed it; it would have seemed like an endless wait. But Sean had gone from level 8 to the peak of the Lowgod realm in just over a dozen years, so perhaps it was truly possible.

Sean had no great interest in the territorial dispute between the Radiant Church and the Darkness Church, nor did he want to participate in such management, and everyone respected him as the strongest among them.

After the meeting ended, a Lowgod who cultivated the Darkness Laws smiled and said, "Sean, in three days, we will hold a celebration party for your ascension to godhood, and we will use this to announce it to the world. You had better create a grand miracle then to attract people's attention; that will make it easier for you to spread the Power of Faith."

"A miracle?" Sean thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll think about it."

The Radiant Church was easy to spread the Power of Faith in, not only because the Radiant Sovereign at the very top was relatively overbearing, but also because the Radiant Laws were second only to the Life Law in terms of healing injuries and diseases.

The Darkness Laws had no such thing; it would be good if they didn't increase illness and pain instead.

Three days later, the entire Qingyue City became lively. The Radiant Church officially announced that they had repelled the Darkness Church and that the strongest person had been born: Sean.

The entire city held a grand banquet for three days, all covered by the Radiant Church. The amount of gold coins spent was astronomical.

At the same time, a massive amount of Holy Light was scattered throughout the city, and the illnesses of everyone's bodies were completely cured under the Holy Light.

This was something Sean had asked the others to do; he didn't have that ability yet. In any case, ordinary people didn't know what was going on; they only knew to praise Sean.

Over the next ten days, the Holy Decree of the Radiant Church spread throughout the former territories of the Radiant Church, and a vast number of ordinary people came to know Sean's name.

Inside Qingyue City, Sean, who was in seclusion, suddenly sensed that countless strands of the Power of Faith were flowing into his soul like fine threads.
