The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

"Are you the Saint of the Fertility Goddess? Haha, no problem. Our church warmly welcomes little ones like you."

Bishop Beneves said this with a friendly smile and clapped his hands.

"I'm very serious and this is no joke. I've made a lot of preparations for this day." Clover said solemnly.

"I'm serious, little one. You know, everyone who comes to the church longs to be closer to the gods. Your goal is naturally the goal of many people. If possible, I hope you won't aim to become a saint. I say this to every girl with great talent."

Why not aim for the saint?

This is a puzzling question.

Theresa looked at the two people in front of her with a bewildered look on her face. They seemed to know what was going on, but they remained silent. This atmosphere made people feel very depressed and confused.

Finally, Benives broke the silence: "Let me explain it so that this little guy next to me can understand the whole story."

He took a deep breath and began to tell a little-known piece of history.

It turned out that the first generation of saints was actually his teacher. At that time, the church had just begun to develop, and people's belief in the goddess gradually became a part of their daily life.

Although the legend of the goddess has been around for a long time, few people have actually seen the goddess in person.

Therefore, when the church emerged, people were filled with curiosity and anticipation, but also a bit of fear. After all, the existence of such an elusive and mysterious being as God itself brought a sense of fear to people.

Benevice's teacher was blessed by the goddess of fertility, Daslind.

She was soon chosen by the church as the first saint, shouldering the important task of spreading faith in this era and proving to the world that the goddess really exists.

He followed his teacher to a country where Theresa and Clover lived now.

This is actually not difficult to understand, because the country here was the first to witness the goddess's miracles.

According to common sense, this mission of spreading faith should not be too difficult.

But their timing here was somewhat bad.

Just a few days after their arrival, the country was hit by a severe drought.

There was no rain for many days, causing many crops that the civilians had worked so hard to grow to dry up and die.

The originally fertile land became dry and cracked, as if it had been burned by fire, and it was barren.

Many once lush plains have now become lifeless wastelands.

Although the teacher possesses powerful natural forces, she cannot restore all vitality at once in the face of such a huge scope and degree.

Some rude fellow came up with this idea: "That woman who calls herself a saint is a disaster! We've been plagued by so much bad luck since she came."

This groundless accusation makes people suspicious and dissatisfied with the teacher.

In fact, weather changes are often natural phenomena that are difficult to control.

But when people are in trouble, they always look for someone to blame.

Thus, the drought became an opportunity for the teacher to be blamed.

The incident escalated and eventually developed into a huge storm.

The teacher was pushed onto the altar of the fertility goddess by the people of the entire country and was forced to sacrifice himself for this meaningless death.

Faced with such a desperate situation, the teacher showed no sign of retreat. She resolutely walked towards death in exchange for a miracle from the goddess of abundance.

It was as if a divine oracle had descended and a miracle had occurred.

The sky seemed to be torn apart by a hand of mercy, and a downpour of sweet rain poured down, and the rain seemed to never end.

The originally dry, cracked and dying earth is like a newborn baby, sprouting with vitality again.

The teacher succeeded and proved the goddess's sacred miracle to the world.

He vaguely recalled what his teacher had said.

"Nature's rebirth is like an endless cycle. Let me be the sacrifice of this great beginning."

This is the story of the first Fertility Saint.

After witnessing the goddess' miracles, Benives' mission became particularly smooth. He soon built a statue of the goddess of fertility in the country and founded a church.

He naturally became the youngest bishop and was dedicated to spreading the faith.

Soon, he also had his own students.

In stark contrast to his teacher, his student did not receive the blessing of the goddess of abundance, but relied on her own unremitting efforts, step by step, to gradually climb to the high position of saint.

Because of her presence, the church began to flourish in the surrounding areas.

Likewise, guilds emerged, groups of adventurers seeking freedom.

They earn money by taking on tasks and completing commissions in exchange for compensation.

The relationship between the church and the guild has always been quite contradictory and not in a good state.

Those adventurers always bluntly accused the people in the church of being old-fashioned and rigid, inflexible, and having minds like a straight, unbendable stick.

However, people in the church had some complaints about the adventurers. They said that the adventurers were casual in nature, had no discipline at all, acted as they pleased, like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, and had no clear and firm goals at all.

It was not until after that incident that the conflict between the two sides finally broke out.

Originally, the adventurers accepted a commission to help open up new land to grow some crops.

Due to inaccurate intelligence within the guild, that land had actually been re-fenced and redeveloped by the church.

The reason is that the soil inside is not suitable for growing crops at all and needs to be improved.

Since the task has been accepted, if it cannot be completed as required, it will seriously affect the credibility and reputation of the guild.

They decided to take action and led people to start making trouble, claiming that the people in the church always relied on those illusory gods but lacked their own strength, which was in stark contrast to those of them who relied on their own efforts to do things.

It happened that Benítez and Her Highness the Saint were both there that day. He was young and energetic at that time, and seeing how hard his teacher worked, he felt indignant, so he displayed powerful natural arcane abilities. For those who could only use weapons, it was simply a dimensionality reduction attack, and he quickly succeeded in driving them away.

I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, when Her Royal Highness the Saint came back one day, she found the church engulfed in flames.

It turned out that the fire was set by the adventurers who were repelled by the bishop last time.

What is even more surprising is that these adventurers were so careful that they not only set fire to the church, but also thoughtfully removed all the flammable materials around it to prevent the fire from spreading outside.

In this case, only the church would be burned down.

At this time, Benives was in other countries discussing church matters, so he was not present and only heard about these things later.

In order to protect the precious books and everything about the Goddess of Fertility, Her Highness the Saint rushed into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation.

Fortunately, almost everything inside the church was successfully brought out, but unfortunately, Her Highness the Saint gave the last chance to escape to someone else...

That day, the world witnessed the terror of the goddess.

If Benives' teacher allowed the world to witness the goddess' miracles, then his students allowed the world to witness the goddess' divine punishment.

There were flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder.

A violent storm suddenly struck, and a huge lightning flashed across the sky, like an arrow of revenge, accurately striking the guild built by the adventurers.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a deafening roar, the guild was instantly struck by lightning and turned into ruins.

Flames shot up into the sky, smoke and dust filled the air, as if the whole world was shaking.

The people watched this scene in horror. The power of the goddess was far beyond their imagination, and her wrath was unstoppable.

In this thrilling scene, the fate of the adventurers becomes confusing.

Some people were lucky enough to escape, but many more suffered serious injuries or even died.

The goddess's punishment is not over yet.

After the lightning, heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, flooding the streets and houses.

The river overflowed, submerging farmland and villages, and people fled in all directions, looking for shelter, hoping to escape this terrible disaster.

Those who believe in the goddess of abundance keep kneeling down to pray, trying to appease the goddess's anger.

The situation did not stop until those foolish adventurers knelt down and repeatedly admitted their mistakes.

Her appearance this time gave the world a warning.

A few years later, the church at that time had been recognized by the world and the government, and was officially renamed the current Church of Light.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Benives is over sixty years old. In desperation, he can only choose the third saint from many candidates.

Ever since people began to believe in the goddess, some people have been fortunate enough to receive the goddess's blessing and thus possess extraordinary powers, and the power of arcane has gradually begun to spread throughout the public's vision.

Benevis's granddaughter was one of them. She was chosen and blessed by the goddess of fertility, gaining unparalleled powerful abilities.

She controls the amazing healing power and tenacious vitality of the goddess of abundance.

Benevice was extremely pleased with all this.

He hopes that his granddaughter can use this talent to become an outstanding doctor, solve problems for the country, help people get rid of illness and solve the problem of food and clothing.

The good times didn't last long... In the years that followed, an evil and filthy monster was quietly born.

They wreak havoc everywhere, ruthlessly slaughtering innocent civilians, and their strength grows stronger every year.

Faced with such a severe situation, his granddaughter had to accept the mandatory order and go to the front line to carry out the task of treating the wounded.

Because this is the unshirkable responsibility of every saint in the Church of Light, and as a bishop, he must also play the role of a bishop.

He relied on his own experience and proficiency in natural magic to protect the country well, and those outstanding adventurers played a very helpful role at this critical moment.

After a fierce battle, his legs were unfortunately seriously injured, and he was afflicted with an incurable disease that gradually spread throughout his body.

His health was deteriorating and he felt his life was slipping away.

Just when he was about to end his life, a miracle happened.

I don’t know if it was the goddess’ mercy, or a reward for him as a bishop who spent his whole life spreading the goddess’ faith.

His life was miraculously saved, but the injuries to his legs were still serious, making his movements difficult and he could no longer walk and fight as freely as before.

The battles in those years were extremely brutal, and every battle was filled with blood and death.

In this brutal war, the news Benives heard most from the front lines was that the Saint of Fertility had saved countless lives and brought a glimmer of hope to people.

Until a mysterious holy object suddenly appeared on the battlefield, it exuded powerful power and restricted the actions of the filth. The people in the church took the opportunity to join forces and eliminate the filth together.

The war against filth was finally won, but at a great cost.

In this war, many brave warriors sacrificed their lives, including two saints, numerous knights, and free adventurers. Their sacrifices brought us this brief peace.

"I don't want to select an official Saint. I don't want the status of a Saint to restrict their freedom, nor do I want to see them drawn into endless conflict. Therefore, I will allow all of these lovely children to be candidates. That way, if they encounter a life-threatening situation, I can use this as an excuse to successfully protect them, and I am willing to face danger on their behalf."

After Benives briefly explained the story, Theresa remained silent.

Once you become a saint, you must fulfill the responsibilities that come with your identity.

In the stories told by Grandpa Beni, the identity of a saint is a bondage to them now. Once you accept this identity, you will be bound by it for the rest of your life.

This is the fate of the saint, and also the fate of those favored by God.

"Grandpa Beni, do you recognize me now?"

Clover stared at Benives intently, his eyes flashing with expectation and desire, as if he was seeking a crucial answer.

Benives frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you want to trigger this miracle in my legs, I can't guarantee it. But I can give you the opportunity to be considered as a candidate for the Saint."

Clover heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Although it wasn't a complete confirmation, it at least meant she had a chance.

Becoming a Saint Candidate means having the opportunity to become a true Saint and thus receive the care of the Goddess of Fertility. Once blessed by the Goddess, one may even be healed.

"Since this little fellow has been listening for so long, do you have anything to ask? Regarding the Goddess of Light, I don't know much."

The problem...

Theresa didn't really want to know anything about the Goddess of Light; she was more concerned about the condition of her face and throat.

He wanted to find out why his face was being burned by flames.
