The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

After saying that, Li Xuan took out an alarm clock, set the time, and placed it next to the fat bishop's ear.

"If you still can't come up with anything that interests me when this alarm goes off, then I'm sorry, you're no longer useful."

Tick ​​tock~tick tock~tick tock~

The crisp ringing of the alarm clock constantly tugged at the fat bishop's heartstrings, as if it were the countdown to the end of his life.

The fat bishop cried out, "You can't do this! I've already cooperated perfectly!"

"Cry? Crying takes time! You can cry all you want, it's just a waste of your life!"

"I said! I said!"

"Then you'd better hurry, time waits for no one." Li Xuan smiled slightly. Sure enough, this fat man still had something to say; he was really dishonest.

tick~

The fat bishop swallowed hard, then quickly said, "Although my position is not high enough to return to the core of the church to make plans, I can deduce some parts of the plan through some details."

"continue."

"Within the Church, the Pope is the highest-ranking being below God. Our strategies are also devised by the Pope. Even communication with God is entirely the responsibility of the Pope."

"In the process of communication between the Pope and the gods, we can say that we know nothing. What we can be sure of is that most of the communication is the gods issuing commands, and our prayers are unlikely to be answered."

Li Xuan tapped the alarm clock to remind him, "It's almost time. If you want to continue building up the story, I don't mind, it's just a matter of your life..."

The portly manager quickly said, "Wait a minute! It'll be here soon..."

After gathering his thoughts, he immediately began, "I'm in charge of personnel matters for the church. Basically, apart from personnel changes at headquarters, everything needs to go through me. I noticed before that a special talent had disappeared; even at headquarters, there's no information about him..."

“Generally speaking, I can see personnel changes at headquarters, but that person seems to have vanished without a trace. I can’t think of any other possibility besides a divine being!”

Jingle bell bell~

At the last moment, the alarm clock that Li Xuan had set went off.

The fat bishop immediately became extremely nervous. Although he had provided useful information, he hadn't even revealed the talent's name.

He was originally planning to continue speaking, but who knew that time would run out so quickly? He was afraid that if he continued speaking, he would be killed by this ferocious demon.

At this moment, the fat manager kept praying that he could escape this crisis.

"As long as I can survive, I promise I'll be a good person in the future, please! Please! I must survive!"

Li Xuan ignored the alarm clock and looked at Baili Muyun, asking, "The Church of Life seems to have at least three divine beings. Do you think they will achieve final victory?"

Baili Muyun analyzed, "Based on the previous situation, the Life Church's Divine Descendants seem to be more of a support role. Even if there is one more, it seems unlikely that they can be a match for other churches."

Li Xuan then added, "Unless, the Church of Life's divine saviors have been slacking off all along, concealing their attack methods!"

Baili Muyun sighed, "Looking at it this way, the Church of Life actually has a real chance of winning the final victory. What a bunch of cunning old foxes."

Just as Li Xuan was about to make arrangements for the fat bishop's funeral, he noticed that a white cloud seemed to be appearing above the collapsed statue.

"what is this?"

Filled with doubt, Li Xuan walked to the wisp of cloud and observed it from a certain distance.

He stared intently at Baili Muyun's body, "This, could it be..."

"What is it?"

"Hiss~" Baili Muyun gasped after seeing the small ball of stuff clearly.

"This thing is probably the power of faith in this small world. It is estimated that for some reason, it was not retrieved by the gods in time, so it is temporarily stored in the statue."

Li Xuan asked in surprise, "The power of faith? So this is the faith of the God of Life. Can we take it?"

Baili Muyun observed the ball of faith power repeatedly, and only after confirming it again and again did he conclude: "This ball of faith power is ownerless. It's hard to say exactly why, but as long as there is a container, even a mortal can contain it."

Li Xuan immediately grasped the key point: "Container? Are there any requirements for it?"

Baili Muyun explained, "Generally speaking, beings that ignite divine fire can freely absorb this power of faith, or they may have special organs within their bodies that allow them to utilize the power of faith for their own purposes. There are also some special containers, which have higher requirements; at least high-grade materials are needed for temporary storage."

"Divine fire, organs, and advanced materials?"

Li Xuan matched the things he thought of with what he actually possessed and discovered that he seemed to have similar things.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Can the power of faith be absorbed directly?"

Baili Muyun subconsciously replied, "You can try it, there's no danger anyway."

Li Xuan listened to the advice and immediately reached out to touch the ball of faith power.

……

Golden Rooster Kingdom, Royal Capital Battlefield.

After the main force was wiped out, the demigods of the Dark Church and the Elemental Church appeared shortly afterward.

Above the capital, two people dressed in black robes faced off against two others dressed in bright blue robes.

"I didn't expect that you would be the ones to arrive here first," one of the men in black robes said first.

The man in blue robes smiled slightly: "You were lucky before, taking advantage of our unpreparedness to devour those fools from the Church of Light. And those troublemakers from the Church of Life, they actually wiped out their own forces just to prevent us from winning!"

The man in black robes sneered, "You despicable bomb men have the nerve to talk to us? You actually attacked us during the tacitly agreed-upon rest period. You don't even uphold the most basic chivalrous spirit; you are unworthy of being called sons!"

The man in the blue robe: "Ha! Chivalry? I'm not a knight, so why are you using this kind of thing to morally blackmail me? Besides, if the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, your chivalry should have been thrown away along with the toilet paper long ago!"

The blue-robed man on the other side yawned and asked lazily, "Should we continue fighting? According to the orders from above, we don't have much time left."

The man in black robes seemed completely unafraid. "It doesn't matter. As long as you're willing to let the Church of Light reap the rewards, I won't hesitate to let you taste defeat once again!"

The four men faced each other, their eyes blazing with fury that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

In the blink of an eye, they sensed a peculiar fluctuation.

"The aura of light has dissipated?"

"You did it?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Could it be those people from the Church of Life? When did they acquire such combat power? Did they launch a sneak attack?"

Just as suspicion shifted to the Church of Life, two familiar faces appeared.

They are the divine beings sent by the Church of Life.
