The Divine Favored John is actually Old John!

It’s only been a few months, how did he become a respected Life Goddess Divine Favored?

Frank looked at Old John, his heart greatly shaken, struggling to calm down.

He carefully observed the Divine Favored viewed as a mentor by the poor, finding it hard to connect him with the crude miner at the Luck City mines a few months ago...

Is the Life Church really that powerful?

To completely change a person in just a few months?

What exactly has Old John experienced?

"You... didn’t you head to Zelolan? How did you end up in Larona? And became a Divine Favored as well?"

In the end, he couldn’t help but voice his question.

Upon hearing Frank’s words, Old John sighed gently and began recounting his experiences over the past few months:

"It’s a long story, and it all owes to the great favor of Her Goddess..."

"Mr. Frank, after arriving in Zelolan, I visited the Life Church and became a life believer."

"And after learning about the teachings of the Life Goddess, I finally found my path..."

As he spoke, Old John straightened up, saying solemnly and devoutly:

"The empire is decaying, the nobles are degenerate, the Eternal Church is still lost in past glories. Only the Life Church can save this increasingly dark era, and only the Life Church can awaken people to fully liberate themselves from suffering..."

Frank’s heart was moved.

Looking at Old John’s eyes filled with passion and faith, he couldn’t help but ask:

"Lord John, why are you so certain?"

Old John smiled gently.

He cast a deep look at Frank and said:

"Mr. Frank, you have come here. Is what you’ve witnessed on this journey not enough proof?"

Frank stayed silent.

What Old John said was true.

Ever since he came to the slum, he has been left in continuous awe.

In the renewed slums, the hopeful poor, the vibrant spirit...

All of this was overturning his understanding.

Frank suddenly felt that perhaps the knowledge he accumulated over the past dozen years might have been thoroughly wrong in some respects...

Seeing the beaming faces of the poor filled with sunshine and hope, he felt as though he had grasped something.

But it was not enough.

Many things happening before him were beyond his existing knowledge to comprehend, unable to fathom the meaning behind it all.

He needed a wise person to guide him through this puzzle...

With that thought, Frank could no longer care about his surprise and shock.

He took a deep breath and gave Old John a salute once more:

"Lord John, I have questions in my heart and wish to seek your answers..."

"Why... why could the slums, which the world never favored, experience such a radical transformation under your leadership in just these few months?"

Frank truly wanted to know the reason behind it.

Because if he could also ignite the fighting spirit of the poor, and transform them as Old John did, he might have a hope of undermining the rule of the nobles!

The poor ultimately make up eighty percent of the Human World, and even with a slim chance of becoming a professional, the numbers still accumulate to a formidable force.

At that moment, Frank saw a glimmer of hope to change the world!

"Because of love, because of equality of all beings, because every life holds infinite possibilities..."

Old John said devoutly.

"Love? Equality of all beings?"

Frank’s eyes held some confusion.

Old John did not directly answer Frank’s question.

He smiled gently, and asked in return:

"Mr. Frank, do you love this world?"

Frank became even more perplexed.

"Lord John, I... I don’t quite understand, could you explain in detail?"

He asked.

Old John smiled:

"No rush, stay by my side for some time, you might come to understand."

After saying that, he looked deeply at Frank and smiled:

"I can see, you are standing at a crossroads in life now, your eyes filled with confusion about the future. If you can find the meaning of life on your own, perhaps... it will be better for your future."

Hearing Old John’s words, Frank swallowed back his questions.

He looked around at the poor with smiling faces and hesitated for a moment, eventually nodding.

He was truly curious, about the changes in the slum, about Old John, about the Life Church...

He believed that if he understood everything, then what he aimed to achieve would certainly see the dawn of hope.

Just like he named his mercenary group...

Thus, Frank settled down in the slum of Larona with his trusted aides.

He became Old John’s assistant, starting to assist in his daily affairs.

Old John’s life was very regular.

This Divine Favored of the Life Church slept only four hours a day, spending the rest of his time busily.

In the early morning, he preached to the poor, teaching faith and knowledge.

In the morning, he worked with elves and the poor to build the slums, learn life skills, or develop the outskirts of the city...

In the afternoon, he provided free medical treatment to the poor, praying together with the life believers.

And at night, he personally baptized talented poor, awakening extraordinary powers... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Day after day, never ceasing.

And as time passed, Frank witnessed the slum getting better every day, with more and more people gathering here.

Eventually... it wasn’t just the poor, but also refugees and wanderers, even regular citizens of Larona started appearing here.
