In New York, which was under constant martial law, the uniform classical robes were too glaring, so the priests of Wuli still wore civilian clothes, as did the guys who quarreled with Hubble.

He was dressed in washed white denim overalls, with a full beard, and a blue-collar worker who was the polar opposite of the former drug lord who always wore a suit and leather shoes, and was the same white man who threatened Zhang Lisheng with a spear behind his back when he first went to meet Earth believers.

As the backbone of the first hundred Wuli disciples who converted, at the beginning of the founding of the Divine Cult, when the strength was weak and had to survive in the cracks, the entire sect actually relied on the protection of him and a few other strong male disciples to survive.

For this reason, he directly obtained a third-class priesthood position second only to Catherine, the founder of the Cult, but unfortunately, as a rude construction worker who had more muscles in his head than brains, and began to work construction sites after graduating from high school, Alonso's talent was really limited, and although his status was high, he gradually became a marginal figure in the rapid expansion of the Wuli Cult.

However, he has no self-knowledge, and there are always a lot of picks about those Wuli believers who are not veterans and have not shared the joys and sorrows with him but have obtained the status of priests because of their ability, especially for Hubble, who has risen quickly with ruthlessness and outstanding ability, and has unknowingly become the number two person in the sect.

He had a rough temperament, and he had Catherine behind him, and he was not afraid of any retribution, and at this moment he was ridiculed by his opponent, and he stood up with a 'poof', his nostrils widened, and his fists clenched heavily in heavy breathing.

Sitting next to Alonso was a tall, lanky man wearing a fur hunting suit that looked to be quite old. The young Indian man with strange braids saw that his friend was carried away by anger again, and immediately grabbed his wrist, and said with a wry smile: "Alonso, don't be impulsive, this is the 'mortal holy land' under Wu Lijun..."

"Hmph. Alonso suddenly realized that this was not a place for him to go wild at will, and angrily pressed down the anger and sat down again.

"Priest Alonso, I know that you have always lacked a good opinion of me, and frankly, I have done the same to you. Hubble plucked the wine from the ice bucket. He poured himself half a glass, shook the blood-red wine and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and said with an intoxicated smile: "Fortunately, maybe we will never meet again after today..."

"What do you say that, Priest Hubble?" the door opened suddenly. A female voice interrupts the former drug dealer.

"Catherine the Chief Priest. I accepted the advice of the Divine Messenger. I'm about to leave for Los Angeles to open a new parish. Hubble glanced at the tall girl who had just walked into the room, wearing a vinyl leather pocket and a fishy smell. Replied succinctly and respectfully.

Although he was quite disdainful of Catherine's cringe-induced and unenterprising attitude immediately after taking over Queens, the noble character of the founder of the Wuli Cult, who had herded millions of 'lambs' in place of the gods, but still worked hard among ordinary believers to consolidate their faith, still allowed him to maintain a minimum of respect.

"Opening up a new diocese is a big deal," Catherine was stunned for a moment, unconsciously looked at Zhang Lisheng with a noncommittal expression on the side, turned her gaze back to the former drug lord, and said after a moment's silence: "Especially Los Angeles is a federal supercity like New York, maybe the situation is worse than New York."

Now that the foundations of the Queen's Diocese have been slowly laid, there is no greater power than the Cult of God except for the Federation Army and the Atlanteans, and I will leave five third-class priests, twenty second-class priests, forty third-class priests, and the others will go with you..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Priest, but the Cult of God has only occupied one of the five districts of New York, and a large number of priests are needed here to continue to 'preach', and I don't plan to bring anyone except my former subordinates." Hubble drank the wine in his glass and smiled back.

"Missionary affairs are about the glory of the gods, and they must not be joked, and I warn you, Hubble priests, that the entire Los Angeles metropolitan area has a population of more than 10 million. Catherine's face turned grim and she said coldly.

"Priest Catherine, the Divine Envoy has promised to pray to the god Wuli and give my priests the power to cast mana, so please don't worry, I will make Los Angeles a place of divine glory. ”

Catherine's body stiffened, and she didn't say anything to Hubble, but came to Zhang Lisheng with a deep frown, "Lord Divine Envoy, can I talk to you alone?"

"Oh, of course Chief Priest Catherine, I have something to say to you," the young man nodded, and walked out after the girl, and before he could go out, he stood still and turned his head to Hubble, "Hubble, since you have decided to leave immediately, choose a person to go to Los Angeles as soon as possible, and leave New York City before the sentry is blocked." ”

"It's already in my mind, my lord," replied the former drug lord, pointing to his head, "I'm going to gather them." ”

Nodding, Zhang Lisheng walked out of the door, and when he saw that Catherine, who was one step ahead of him, did not speak and kept moving forward, he also remained silent for the time being.

The two walked silently to the beach, looking at the floating boats in the distance, Catherine suddenly asked inexplicably: "My lord, do you know how much harvest those strange fishing boats can bring us every day?"

"I don't know what Catherine does, I think, well, maybe a thousand tons. Zhang Lisheng shrugged and said.

"It's about five times more than you guessed, my lord," said the girl in an admiring, grateful tone, "thanks to the priests' sense and control of the currents, the faithful can catch fish similar to that of an ocean fishing vessel with a sailboat, and—" she stretched out her arms, and as soon as her palms fished through the void, ripples rippled on the surface of the sea.

In a short time, a ball of water the size of a blue ball wrapped three or four small fish that swam in panic were lifted by the whirlwind and automatically floated into Catherine's palm.

He handed the water balloon to the black-haired youth, "Such a few sea fish weighing less than two pounds, after drying, can provide salt and nutrition for five adults to live, and wrap the dried fish in the biological protein produced by the priests and fry them directly, which is a rare delicacy in the war..."

"Catherine, I'm not a chef, I'm not interested in fatty egg whites and salted fish at all, what do you want to say directly?" Zhang Lisheng shrugged and interrupted the girl's words.

Catherine said excitedly: "I want to tell you, my lord, the divine skill given to the priest by the god of Wu Li is the most suitable ability for this troubled world, and I am convinced that you are the savior when the end of the earth comes, and the glory will spread to the whole earth sooner or later."

His power should not be in the hands of criminals, especially since the priests of the entire diocese are drug lords, robbers, serial killers, and gods..."

"Oh, calm down, Catherine, calm down, and don't forget that your own means of 'preaching' are very, how to put it, very 'tough'. The youth shrugged.

"God has made it a great thing, the use of violence for the sake of noble faith and the redemption of the world and the trafficking of drugs for selfish desires are completely two different concepts..."

"Okay Catherine, like you said, 'Violence for the sake of high faith and the redemption of the world and drug trafficking for selfish desires are two different concepts,' and now that Hubble has converted to the Cult of God, whatever means he uses to open up a new diocese in Los Angeles is for faith and redemption, isn't it. ”

"But my lord..."

"No, but," Zhang Lisheng did not want to dwell on the contradiction between the ideas of his two most powerful pastors on earth, and waved his hand, "Since I made the decision to let Hubble go to Los Angeles as a missionary, I will not change it."

Not only that, but I promised him the right to open up new dioceses in other cities and even abroad in the future..."

Hearing the young man's words, Catherine's face changed greatly, but then when she heard Zhang Lisheng continue, she continued: "But although he has the same missionary rights as you, you are the founder of the Wuli Divine Sect after all, of course I will give you greater convenience."

Well, if you elect another 3,000 or not 5,000 believers, I will pray to the gods to give them priestly power and let them go to other cities of the Federation to open up dioceses for you, are you satisfied?", his expression regained his calm.

"Is this a competition in disguise, Lord God?" the girl asked in a low voice after a moment of silence.

"Sort of," Zhang Lisheng frankly admitted, "I can't directly proselytize on Earth for a long time and on a large scale, I can only use this means to ensure the rapid expansion of the Wuli Sect."

However, although it is a competition, you already have a parish of millions of believers that I helped to develop, and you have twenty times more priestly power than your opponent, so the advantage is enough..."

"Then the next new priest in the diocese under my and Hubble's jurisdiction will be proportional to the number of believers, right?" asked Catherine in a low voice, as if she had not heard the young man speak.

"Yes, Catherine, it is wisest to send the priests to other cities after opening up and stabilizing a parish.

Alright, I'm going to see off Hubble, give you two weeks to choose five thousand new priests, and I'll give them the power to cast a lot of mana and leave New York.

In the future, Wu Li's glory will depend on you and Hubble's ability. Hearing that the girl had understood her intentions, Zhang Lisheng smiled slightly and stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left the coast.

In the next half month, the young man first sent Hubble and a group of priests who looked like thugs and criminals away, and then gave Catherine's carefully selected 5,000 believers to cast mana.

After a few more days, after Zhang Lisheng sensed that the flower of faith was blooming in several other cities far away from New York, he left Queens with peace of mind, went to Xie Lia to ask for a ticket to New Mexico, and came to the closest city to the gate of Noah's space, Faeron.
