"Can you tell me why she's with you? Are you also a heretic? Or are you a fake priest trying to deceive us in this way?"

His voice grew increasingly harsh, his eyes filled with suspicion and anger.

Because of FrostNova's exposure, the man now not only doubted FrostNova, but also began to doubt Luo Chen's identity.

Faced with the man's questioning, Luo Chen let out a soft chuckle from beneath his mask. He calmly replied:

"Oh, so that's what you meant."

"Because I have the protection of the True God," Luo Chen continued, "I used the miracles bestowed by the Ursus True God to awaken that lost lamb."

"She had once lost her way, but under the guidance of my True God, she regained her faith. She is now one of us, a follower of our Ursus True God."

However, Luo Chen's words were immediately met with skepticism:

"How could a heretic become a follower of the Ursus True God in just two days?"

"Do you really think we'll believe your nonsense just because you give us a bowl of rice?"

At this point, the man slammed the bowl down on the ground.

Although losing a bowl of rice pained him greatly, it strengthened his faith in the True God.

"The miracle I'm talking about isn't rice, it's a real miracle."

"Little White, come here."

Luo Chen maintained his calm breathing and tone, and called FrostNova to his side.

As FrostNova approached, the villagers watching involuntarily took two steps back.

It wasn't that they were afraid of FrostNova, but rather that FrostNova was simply too cold.

Even from several meters away, many people were shivering from the cold, including the man who had just questioned them.

"Have you noticed the problem with this lost sheep?"

Luo Chen looked down at the villagers whose faces were white from the cold, then pointed and said:

"She was cursed because she did not believe in the Ursus True God."

Upon hearing the word "curse," everyone took two steps back.

"However, as a devout believer in the True God, I have received a miracle from the True God, and I can use this miracle to redeem this lamb from the curse."

"Get me a bucket of water."

The Reunion Movement members, who were already prepared, placed a bucket of water directly in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen pointed to the bucket. "Little White, put your hand in."

FrostNova was slightly taken aback, but then obediently extended her hand.

Her fingertips lightly touched the water's surface, and in that instant, the water in the bucket seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, instantly beginning to solidify.

The once clear water began to shimmer with a chill, and a thin layer of ice began to form on the edge of the bucket.

Immediately afterwards, the water in the bucket froze completely at an astonishing speed, and a faint cracking sound came from the surface of the bucket.

To everyone's astonishment, the bucket cracked due to the expansion of the ice, scattering ice chunks and water and ice fragments all over the ground.

The villagers gasped in surprise at the sight.

They stared wide-eyed at what they were seeing, incredulous.

They knew this heretic was very strong and could create ice with his bare hands.

But I never expected it to be so terrifying; just a touch and the bucket of water turned into ice.

Looking at the scene before him, Luo Chen's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

He knew that this demonstration was enough to make the villagers realize the terror emanating from FrostNova.

Then my next attack on FrostNova my bare hands will be a miracle from True God.

"Now everyone recognizes the curse on her, right?"

Luo Chen's voice echoed clearly and powerfully at the empty village entrance.

His gaze swept across the faces of every villager, whose faces were filled with shock and curiosity.

The villagers nodded in unison, their eyes filled with awe and bewilderment at FrostNova's strange abilities.

They had never seen anyone freeze just by touching the water; how cold must her body be?

Such a pitiful person wouldn't even be able to kiss someone, let alone fall into a ditch while using the toilet.

As for having children, that's out of the question.

Don't even talk about whether the child can handle it; the child's father definitely can't.

This woman is so tragic; it seems this is the price of not believing in the True God.

Seeing this, Luo Chen smiled slightly and continued:

"Now, everyone, please watch closely, I am about to demonstrate my miracle."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and walked towards FrostNova.

Seeing this familiar scene, FrostNova's heart began to flutter.

Does he want another hug?

Isn't that a bad idea?

But this is just a job.

Go ahead and hug me.

What nonsense am I talking about...?

Luo Chen opened his arms and walked towards FrostNova.

This immediately caused a huge uproar among the villagers. They looked at Luo Chen in horror, not understanding what he was going to do.

Luo Chen seemed oblivious to the villagers' reactions. He walked straight to FrostNova and stretched out his hands. Amidst the horrified expressions of the crowd, he gently embraced FrostNova.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

The villagers held their breath, watching this scene with bated breath.

They saw that when Luo Chen's hands touched FrostNova, they didn't freeze; instead, they emitted a warm power.

Not only did the chill that had enveloped everyone vanish instantly, but even the water that had been frozen solid melted back into water in an instant.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said softly:

"See? This is my miracle. I was able to lift the curse on her and make her one of us again."

Upon hearing this, the villagers all showed expressions of shock and admiration.

They finally understood Luo Chen's intention: he wanted to demonstrate his power to lift the curse and prove that he was a true priest.

"This is truly a miracle from God."

At that moment, everyone believed it was a miracle from the Ursus True God.

Because in their worldview, only an omnipotent True God has this ability.

The priest protected by the miracle, Luo Chen, is the spokesperson for the Ursus True God.

The man who had just questioned FrostNova turned pale instantly after witnessing the miracle Luo Chen had performed.

He realized how ignorant and absurd his previous doubts and accusations had been.

At that moment, he was filled with regret and guilt. Looking at the rice scattered on the ground, he felt so heartbroken that he almost cried.

He immediately squatted down and carefully separated the rice from the soil with his hands, afraid of soiling these precious grains.

Luo Chen didn't waste any more time on him.

He looked up at the surrounding villagers and, seizing the opportunity, outlined his poverty alleviation plan:

"This is only a portion of the divine power of the Ursus True God."

"In reality, the True God is far greater than you think; He can guide us not only in our hearts but also in the direction we should go."

"It can even ensure that none of us go hungry, even if we don't work."

"I received a dream from the True God yesterday, who said that He wanted to reward sincere believers."

"The great Ursus True God will return double the offerings you have made to your believers over the next four days."

Upon hearing this, some villagers asked in confusion, "What does 'double the return' mean?"

"If you offer me a bowl of rice today, the True God will give you two bowls of rice tomorrow."

"Such a good thing?"

The crowd erupted in cheers once again.

Is it really possible to offer sacrifices to the gods and receive double the money back the next day?

Of course, people are naturally wary.

Even after Luo Chen demonstrated his divine power, people were still not entirely at ease.

After all, food is the lifeblood of people, and in the past, they only gave out a small portion for sacrifices.

However, this miracle lasted for four days.

The priest also gave them a bowl of rice for free.

If I offer the bowl of rice I just received as an offering, will I be able to get two bowls of rice for free tomorrow?

Some clever people immediately saw an opportunity to get something for nothing, so they promptly handed over the free rice they had received.

"High Priest... I would like to offer a bowl of rice."

"High Priest... I offer half a bowl."

"High Priest... could we offer two grains of rice?"

"Please be patient, everyone. Take your time. I'll write down what you're offering."

Luo Chen noted down the amount of grain each person offered, and then put the portion of grain that had been distributed that morning back into the bags.

Just as I was writing it down, a fanatical voice suddenly came from beside me:

"I am the most devout believer in the True God, and I want to offer an extra five pounds of buckwheat. If I offer buckwheat today, will the True God still give me buckwheat tomorrow?"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than one of the villagers scoffed:

"Is he crazy? This is the first time we've met this priest, and he dares to give so much?"

Luo Chen smiled:

"How could the great Ursus True God bear to see his people eat unprocessed buckwheat?"

"Regardless of the type of grain, the True God will return double the market price in rice. Your five pounds of buckwheat will be returned as two pounds of refined rice tomorrow."

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the fanatic's eyes nearly turned red.

He immediately ran home and brought over all the extra 20 kilograms of buckwheat from his house.

The True God returns double the offerings—a wonderful thing that proves faith and also provides a free benefit.

What are you waiting for?

It's all in, of course.

However, the other villagers were more rational.

Although some people added extra food from their own homes, they all limited it to an amount that was acceptable to them.

Even if the food is lost, it won't disrupt their normal lives.

About ten minutes later, the atmosphere at the village entrance reached its climax.

The villagers offered their sacrifices.
