162: Chapter 162 The God of Forgiveness, the God of Mercy

Although the Missionary's movements were quite subtle, Lin Sheng still keenly noticed the other's small actions.

His gaze fell on the wooden box protected in the Missionary's arms, and feeling the things sealed within, Lin Sheng felt somewhat surprised.

Noticing Lin Sheng's gaze, the Missionary's eyes narrowed.

He bowed slightly, intending to take action against Lin Sheng once the matter was exposed.

Although they were both Half-step Legends, the Missionary did not think this "wild" Half-step Legend would be a match for him.

Just as the atmosphere on the scene froze, Lin Sheng suddenly withdrew his gaze from the box.

Seeing this, the Missionary's aura retracted, and his slightly bowed waist straightened once more.

This was someone else's territory after all; if possible, the Missionary did not want to fight here.

Not only that, just as the Missionary intended to strike Lin Sheng, an inexplicable sense of panic rose in his heart for no reason.

This was another reason why the Missionary was unwilling to take action against Lin Sheng.

"You come here to preach, aren't you afraid of offending the Ximi God?"

Withdrawing his gaze from the wooden box, Lin Sheng looked at the Missionary in front of him and asked.

The Missionary was not very busy at the moment, and seeing that this "wild" Half-step Legend was interested in communicating with him, he was also happy to answer his questions.

"Lay Practitioner, there is something you do not know."

"The Ximi God is a tolerant God; He does not oppose the spread of the faiths of other Orthodox Gods within His territory."

"As long as they are Transcendents below the Legend rank, they can preach on behalf of their deities in places outside the central area of the Ximi Starfield."

As he said this, a trace of admiration flashed across the Missionary's face.

Although the one he believed in was not the Ximi God, it did not prevent him from feeling admiration for such a deity.

However, admiration was one thing, but preaching for his Lord still had to continue.

"I see~"

"It seems this Ximi God is even more magnanimous than I expected."

Lin Sheng pondered.

He had not learned much about the Ximi God, thinking that providing protection to mortals who did not believe in Him was already the limit.

But Lin Sheng never expected the Ximi God to be tolerant to such an extent.

Even the faiths of other gods, this Ximi God allowed them to be spread in His own territory.

This matter was incomprehensible to any deity.

Even a True God who did not require faith would not allow the faiths of other gods to spread in His territory.

"So, you have come here just to spread the faith of your Lord?"

Although Lin Sheng asked it as a question, what he spoke was a fact.

The Missionary had no intention of being secretive and nodded directly to admit it.

"That's right, spreading my Lord's glory; as my Lord's subject, I must naturally do my duty."

"Then I won't disturb you. Farewell."

Lin Sheng waved his hand and, after giving the Missionary a meaningful look, turned and left the area.

For some reason, the Missionary felt that Lin Sheng's gaze before leaving was a bit strange.

That gaze gave him the feeling that the other party had already seen through everything?

"Impossible!"

The Missionary shook his head vigorously, casting the absurd thought out of his mind.

The wooden box he carried was personally crafted by a Near-God under the "Holy Crown Exalted Lord"; the things inside were definitely not something a mere mortal could see through.

"Is it just my imagination, or..."

...

"My Lord, what happened over there? Can we continue forward?"

Seeing Lin Sheng return from ahead, the Bishop hurried forward to ask.

Lin Sheng's actions this time had not caused any commotion, which made the Bishop waiting on the shuttle feel a surge of nervousness.

After all, there were only two possibilities for such a situation.

Either nothing happened there, or Lin Sheng was instantly killed.

But now that Lin Sheng had returned, it should mean that nothing happened and Lin Sheng had been overthinking.

"It's fine, I just encountered a Missionary."

Lin Sheng shook his head and recounted his encounter to the Bishop.

"I see that Missionary is not simple; do you need me to capture him?"

"Of course, capturing him will cost extra."

Lin Sheng thought for a moment and added.

That Missionary was here to preach, yes, but Lin Sheng felt that his method of preaching did not seem honorable.

However, he didn't say too much to the Bishop; after all, the gods here did not oppose preaching, and even if he knew the Missionary was not simple, the Bishop would certainly not stop him.

Moreover, that Missionary was a Half-step Legend; if he really caused any trouble and the church people couldn't call for help in time, they would still need to ask Lin Sheng to step in.

This way, Lin Sheng could make another fortune.

Why not?

Sure enough, even though Lin Sheng said the Missionary was not simple, the Bishop only shook his head.

"It's fine, this is an action permitted by the Lord; we do not need to stop it."

When saying this, there was no sign of anger on the face of the Bishop.

It seemed he also believed this was an insignificant matter.

"Can you tell me more about your Lord?"

The rest of the journey was basically uneventful, so Lin Sheng simply chatted with these believers during this time.

He was quite concerned about matters regarding this "Ximi God," but because every time he tried to probe the Ximi God, Lin Sheng always felt a sense of being only half-clear.

This feeling made him somewhat uncomfortable; therefore, rather than looking for himself, it was more convenient to directly ask these divine believers.

And when it came to proclaiming the majesty of their deity, especially to a Half-step Legend, these believers were naturally more than happy to do so.

"The Lord is a Chief God; He is powerful and also merciful."

"Mortals, and even gods, whether they believe or not, as long as they come to the Ximi Starfield, the Lord will provide them with protection."

"Even Transcendents of the Fallen Ones' camp, or Transcendents corrupted by chaos, as long as they still have their sanity and still yearn for the light, the Lord will provide help."

"Even if the recipient of the help does not believe in the Lord, as long as there is hope for rescue, the Lord will spare no effort to help."

Hearing this, Lin Sheng instinctively interrupted the Bishop's words and asked in confusion:

"What is He after?"

"I don't know; as a believer, I cannot speculate on the Lord's thoughts."

"But I know one thing."

Speaking of this, the Bishop's face was full of pride:

"The Lord has always spared no effort in contributing to the normal survival of the weak in the universe, and contributing to the stability of the universe's Order."

"As for the rest..."

The Bishop paused for a long time before speaking again:

"The Lord doesn't care."
