Chapter 171: Your Abilities Are Important!
Jon Bishop scanned the priests and nuns in front of him through his mask.
He was satisfied with the surprise, fear, and excitement emanating from them.
This was also the reason why he couldn't wait to command the two unfinished stone gargoyles he had created.
However... why did Theresa, the chosen one by the angels, show such a strong sense of fear, just like some suspicious individuals?
This shouldn't be the case. The chosen ones by the angels should be born saints, shouldn't they?
Jon Bishop noticed that Theresa's emotional fluctuations were somewhat unexpected.
But of course, he wouldn't reject the angels' decision just because of this flaw.
He withdrew his gaze from Theresa and recited the names of the priests and nuns whose emotions had been affected in front of the stone gargoyles.
Those priests and nuns realized that their previous actions had been exposed, and seeing the stone gargoyles actually moving, their mental defenses were shattered.
They didn't need Jon Bishop to do anything next; they knelt on the cold ground of the chapel, repenting in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary.
"You are just lost lambs who failed the test. Now, stop crying and go back to your rooms to await punishment."
Jon Bishop spoke in a low voice, while the two stone gargoyles flew up and perched on the ceiling, glaring angrily at the kneeling sinners.
Those people quickly nodded in fear and regret, and exited the room.
In the chapel, only ten people remained.
Among these ten people, only two were dominated by feelings of joy and excitement.
Theresa, who had been entrusted with high hopes, was not among them.
But in Jon Bishop's opinion, this was already a good ratio.
In this era of technological development and rampant materialism, the requirements for the devout must also change accordingly.
The bishops understood the principle of keeping up with the times, and they had been acting accordingly.
As for whether the results were good or not, that was another matter.
"Theresa, come forward!"
After watching the disqualified individuals leave, Jon Bishop looked at Theresa.
"This is your gift. Hold onto it and wait for the summons!"
Jon Bishop's gaze was solemn as he handed Theresa a coin that had been transformed into a cross-shaped invitation.
As Theresa touched the seemingly weightless and thin coin, she immediately felt additional information flooding into her mind.
And then, without waiting long...
As the agreed-upon time arrived...
Su Ping sent out an invitation.
The next second.
As Theresa heard the invitation in a language she clearly didn't know where it came from, but somehow understood its meaning, she made up her mind and chose to agree.
Immediately, Theresa disappeared in the chapel, disappearing in front of everyone's eyes.
This caused the priests and nuns to exclaim in surprise.
Their gaze turned to Bishop John and the statue of the Virgin Mary, becoming even more fervent witnesses to the miracle.
And this was also one of Bishop John's goals.
The Holy City wanted to restore its former glory and help the good angels fulfill their duties as good shepherds.
It was obviously impossible to rely solely on an old man like himself.
After all, it was necessary to gather some trusted followers and reveal some mysteries, so that foreign forces would be wary and it would also be necessary for their own people to return to their hearts.
Grotto-Heaven in a pot.
Theresa did not appear in the black mist.
Instead, she appeared directly on a spacious black soil, with white mist covering the view in the distance.
This black soil was very fertile, and all the soil was taken from several abandoned large-scale spiritual vein residences' desolate spiritual fields.
After being surprised by the sudden change in the surrounding environment, Theresa seemed to sense something and looked up to see Su Ping, who was using the memory illusion of the White Crane Boy.
"An... Angel, my lord?"
Seeing the wings of the White Crane Boy, Theresa hesitated and called out.
As a nun who graduated from the Holy City School, she had never seen an angel like this.
But considering that angels could take on various forms in the mortal world.
It was reasonable for there to be some differences from the books.
Su Ping shook his head slightly without speaking, but his voice echoed from all around.
"I am not an angel, just the manager of this space."
"Theresa, the chosen one, your ability to protect countless worlds from evil is very important."
"That's why you were chosen and brought here."
"My ability... is important?"
Theresa widened her eyes, feeling like she was watching a movie about saving the world, but the protagonist was her own illusion.
"Yes, don't doubt it, although I am not an angel, I never stoop to lying."
Su Ping gently landed in front of the nun.
Then, he began to teach Theresa through words and actions about the various knowledge in the Outer Sect Planting Chapter.
Theresa, who had just been delighted, suddenly felt that the plot seemed a little off?
Wasn't she supposed to use her abilities to save the world?
Why was this seemingly high-ranking manager teaching her how to cultivate fields and grow flowers and grass?
She had at most only had some experience with how to care for a cactus before!
But... why does it feel like these steps are quite simple?
And these seeds, it seems like they don't require so much complexity. I can directly judge which ones are good and which ones are average?
Teresa was in the Grotto-Heaven pot, surrounded by a rich spiritual Qi environment.
Even though she hadn't started formal cultivation.
Her natural affinity and spiritual body began to slowly come into play.
Just in terms of discerning seed quality.
It made Su Ping marvel and secretly think that he had indeed found a good farmer this time.
Su Ping no longer held back.
After all, through several times of picking up unclaimed items left by kind-hearted people.
He now had some wealth.
Naturally, there were also extra resources for cultivating tools.
Su Ping provided Teresa with the Natural Evergreen Art as a basic cultivation technique.
And provided secret manuals related to planting.
After seeing her quickly discern the first batch of spirit rice seeds.
Su Ping waved his hand and performed the Void Creation supernatural power in front of the little nun.
Causing a normal building obtained from drawing cards: a row of European-style cottages to appear out of thin air in the sky, gently landing and becoming the little nun's new home.
In addition, there was a small pool with continuously emerging fountains.
A windmill that kept turning even without wind.
And an open-air kitchen that could always be lit, as well as tables and chairs that appeared one by one.
Su Ping made Teresa, whose jaw was almost too surprised to close, sit down.
He rewarded her with a small cup of spirit wine and a small portion of food including spirit rice and spirit plants.
Consider it letting this little nun from the Holy City experience the enjoyment that only Transcendents have.
Afterwards, Su Ping left behind rice and flour, as well as the combination of the little black cat and the big yellow dog who had nothing to do on the main peak, to assist this little nun in pioneering.
He gave her the message that he would let her go back in a week and let her rest assured.
Then he turned around and left this mountain peak planned for the spirit field area.
After Teresa got through the initial tension and realized that her own lack of faith experience... it seemed that the angel and the manager didn't care.
Without this worry in her heart, she became lively again.
And soon she discovered that she seemed to be slower and weaker than the cat and dog duo when it came to work.
Teresa simply became a supervisor, relying on the instincts brought by her spiritual body to instruct the Transcendents of the cat and dog on how to cultivate the land.
Meanwhile, in the Holy City.
The rumors of Teresa's disappearance due to being called by an angel naturally couldn't be concealed.
With the news of the appearance of gargoyles by Bishop Jon, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
Many important figures actually exchanged information and learned that the Master Yuan Ci, who was confirmed to be Transcendent, recognized that Bishop Jon was not a Transcendent.
They all began to have doubts.
Even the Vice President of an ancient Eastern country rushed to the Great Compassion Temple overnight and personally confirmed it with the abbot.
However, even if it was proven that the other party was truly Transcendent, it did not mean that the Master was lying.
After all, who knows if he recently obtained some inheritance through secret methods within the Holy City?
The United States, Gaul, and other countries immediately accelerated their progress in consulting the Holy City's mysterious knowledge reproduction materials.
With a large amount of manpower and resources poured in.
They also created their own mysterious studies training.
Similar to what Bishop Jon did in the underground palace.
They also organized people on their own territory.
They even spared no expense to hire psychologists, hypnotists, and used various drugs.
The idea was good... but there was no hope for success in terms of results.
To the point where in the hands of certain people, they had already received applications to restart the laboratory production of the Devil drug.
In their view, only this strongest mental drug, which had long ceased all experimental production and was now only available as counterfeit drugs on the market, had the hope of breaking through the limitations of the human body and glimpsing the path to Transcendence...
Even though the side effects were slightly stronger, at least once or twice, it could turn the user without special talent into a super lunatic who could directly face Ancient Gods.
So much so that there were many drugs that were marketed under its name, but in reality, not a single one was genuine.
After all, if it was genuine, it wouldn't be selling drugs, but creating lunatics.
And lunatics... don't make repeat purchases...
Although on the surface, the important figures of the United States rejected these proposals.
But it didn't prevent generals who were aware of the warnings from starting to have the laboratories produce small quantities for future needs.
And on the side of the Holy City.
The benefits were also immediate.
In addition to the flock of believers who came to kiss Bishop Jon's feet and even the path he walked on.
Churches from all over also sent good news.
The frequency and time at which the wealthy attended worship greatly increased.
And they all generously donated, greatly alleviating the financial situation of churches everywhere.
In addition, well-known Holy City-related academies also experienced an influx of students.
Many young people who were once favored and recommended by priests but were unable to attend due to family or social reasons.
Now suddenly had the opportunity to study and become future priests or nuns.
