Clooney felt his consciousness fleeing his body, but when he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in a magnificent hall.
After being dumbfounded for a second, Clooney instantly realized where he was. He quickly knelt on the ground and spoke with great respect toward the being located at the top of the throne, “Praise to my God, Your Highness Louie Glalakrond.”
Louie just smiled and looked at Clooney with a gentle expression.
“Clooney, I have seen all your accomplishments in these twenty years. You have spread my name throughout the main continent, and I am very satisfied with this. For that, I acknowledge your labor and meritorious deeds.”
Louie slowly spoke. His warm words entered Clooney’s ears, causing this pope to tremble with excitement on the ground and cry, “My God, everything is what I should be doing. For your throne exalted in heaven, I would give all that I have.”
For devout believers, the words of the god that they believe in would be the most beautiful thing they could hear. The face of the god was the object of their most deserving love. For each of those believers at the highest level of the church, the words of their god exceeded all. They would even be able to sacrifice their own children for God.
However, even this level of faith still possessed a possibility of rebellion. One great example would be the believers of the Prince of Lies who were also very good at swindling and lies. Unless a believer reached the stage of a Holy Spirit or being with God, they would possess flaws as mortals. As a result, there was always a chance of betrayal.

It’s just that the possibility was very low.
“You have given your all for me, Clooney! Meritorious deeds must be rewarded, demerits must be punished. This is one part of my doctrine. I am extremely gratified by your hard work. I will share with you my glory. You shall henceforth live with the heaven and earth, be immortal with the sun and moon. You will be my chosen one who walks on the earth on my behalf. Let my light shine throughout the world.”
Louie stood up from his throne and a brilliant holy light appeared in his hand. This was none other than divinity!
Louie waved his hand and unleashed a power that every god possessed - Divine Skill [Divine Empowerment].
This was a power to separate a portion of one’s divinity to bestow a chosen one with power.
But now that Clooney was Louie’s chosen one, he possessed demigod-level power. Although dragons were not afraid of demigods either, it would still save Clooney a lot of trouble. He would be able to speak calmly in front of those dragons.
As long as Clooney put in the effort to let them know how the church worked, more dragons would believe in Louie, and then his job would be done.
Louie had now attracted the eyes of many gods. Those gods’ followers were likely to launch some attacks on his church. If Clooney remained a legendary rank powerhouse, his safety could not be guaranteed. Even if he was under protection, there could still be some accidents.
If his own pope was assassinated, disgraced, or harmed, Louie could lose a valuable asset. Before a new pope was raised, Clooney’s life could never be in danger.
If affection was not included in the calculation, Clooney’s position had far greater importance than Alexia's. Even if the Dragon Kingdom changed leadership, its state could be politically maintained as long as the new ruler was not an idiot. But if the church lost Clooney, then the church would stagnate.
Louie’s church’s growth had not yet reached its limit.
“Thank you for your generous gift, My God! I will spend my life to transmit Your glory, to convey your wisdom, to preach your doctrine, and to make Your name resound in the world of San Soliel.”
Clooney knelt down respectfully and shouted eulogies.
“Good. Now go, Clooney... you still have a critical task to do. Now is not yet the time for you to relax and join me in my divine kingdom.”
Louie waved his hand. A surge of divine power rose, causing Clooney’s figure to disappear.
In truth, what appeared here was Clooney’s soul and not his physical body.
After a moment of contemplation, Louie stood up from his throne. He held out his right hand and gripped his dragon spear as he stepped out of his divine kingdom.
“Now then, since you are all waiting for me, then I will come myself, Gods!”
