Chapter 2: The World of Believing in Gods

As dawn was just breaking, Luo Yi got up early. This was not because Luo Yi had a habit of going to bed early and rising early, but rather because this thing that could barely be called a bed was too uncomfortable. Throughout the night, Luo Yi could only doze off for a short while

To understand a strange world, the first choice is naturally the books that contain knowledge. In the town, there is a bookstore, which Luo Yi discovered yesterday. Today, Luo Yi plans to go to that bookstore to read and acquire knowledge about this world

More importantly, this building is still unoccupied, which means that Luo Yi has acquired a property. However, since this building has been abandoned for a long time, if he intends to move in, Luo Yi will need to clean it up properly.

Shaking his head, Luo Yi, who did not even believe in gods, would certainly not believe in ghosts. Upon entering this building, the first thing that appeared before Luo Yi was a hall. Although the items in this hall had long been destroyed, it was not difficult to see that it had once been lavishly decorated. At the very front of the hall was a platform carved from an unknown type of stone. Being made of stone, this platform, aside from being covered in dust, was not damaged. It was evident that this place had once been adorned in a very luxurious manner, and at the front of the hall stood a platform carved from an unknown type of stone, which, due to its material, remained undamaged except for the layer of dust.

Could it be that this place is haunted?" Luo Yi said, stroking his chin

Moreover, upon joining the Church of Light and Justice, one can also obtain the professions of Priest and Paladin. These Priest and Paladin classes possess powerful healing and buff abilities, and given the existence of deities in this world, it is only natural for such extraordinary professions to exist

There are indeed deities in this world

It seems necessary to join a church, Luo Yi thought as he closed the book in his hands

It is said that in this world, there are actually no gods among men; rather, in ancient times, a great battle shattered the laws of heaven and earth. Subsequently, the fragments of these laws flowed into the world, forming various divine positions, which were then discovered by people, ultimately leading to the emergence of gods among men

When in the town, Luo Yi could ascertain that there were indeed beggars present in the town. Although this building was not within the town, it was not far from it, and those beggars had no reason not to notice it. However, why did they not come here

Today, Luo Yi is determined to gain a thorough understanding of this world, so that he can quickly integrate into it. The bread provided by the Church of Light and Justice can only keep Luo Yi from starving; it is simply impossible for him to be full. Therefore, in order to satisfy his hunger, Luo Yi must swiftly comprehend this world and subsequently find a way to survive

The following day

In this world where various gods are worshipped, lacking faith can make it exceedingly difficult to progress, a realization that Luo Yi deeply experienced during his job search yesterday

Only silence answered Luo Yi, except for silence itself. "There can't be no one here," Luo Yi cautiously walked into the building and discovered that there was indeed not a single person present.

After being busy until midnight, Luo Yi finally cleared out a small room. As for the other areas, they will have to be dealt with gradually in the future. Now, Luo Yi, who was already exhausted, curled up in the small room he had cleaned out, preparing to spend his first night in this world.

At this point, Luo Yi could already conclude that this should be a church, though he did not know why it had been abandoned

Of course, it is not only the priests and paladins; professions such as the warriors belonging to the God of War and the mages associated with the various elemental gods can also immediately rise to prominence upon changing their class. However, due to the fact that the gods of light and justice are the most powerful in this world, the status of priests and paladins is slightly elevated.

There are quite a few free benefits in this world. In response, Luo Yi couldn't help but sigh, and then he picked up a book from the bookshelf and plunged into the ocean of knowledge

As long as he can become a priest or a paladin, Luo Yi will never have to worry about going hungry for the rest of his life. In fact, it can be said that once he becomes a priest or a paladin, Luo Yi will have effectively escaped from the status of a commoner and entered the ranks of the nobility

These million deities encompass nearly every aspect of the world, and it can be said that there exists a corresponding deity for almost every entity. For instance, there is the God of Food for dining, the God of Sewing for clothing, and the God of Sleep for resting; even for using the restroom, there is a Toilet God. At the same time, there are distinctions among the deities, which are primarily divided into two categories: celestial deities and human deities

Speaking of this, Luo Yi left the Church of the God of Knowledge and headed towards the Church of the God of Light and Justice. Since he intended to join a church, Luo Yi naturally prepared to choose the strongest one, and the Church of the God of Light and Justice was the most powerful church in this world. Moreover, the Church of Light and Justice had provided him assistance during his difficult times, which made Luo Yi feel quite favorable towards it

However, when Luo Yi arrived at that bookstore, he realized that he had completely overthought the situation, because it was not a bookstore at all, but rather a church of the God of Knowledge, where the books were freely available for people to read, which is akin to the Church of Light and Justice distributing bread for free

On that stone platform, there were scattered fragments resembling jade stones. Luo Yi glanced around and discovered that these jade-like fragments were actually pieces of a shattered statue

The Church of the God of Knowledge provides free access to books for the public, in order to spread the faith of the God of Knowledge

The deities associated with the aforementioned professions are all celestial gods. To date, there has not been a combat profession belonging to human gods, as the power of human gods is fundamentally insufficient to support a complete combat profession system

Luo Yi gazed at the contents of the book, his heart filled with astonishment. Not only that, the existence of deities seemed to permeate the entire world, and the book even described that the number of deities in this world was at least in the millions.

Certainly, these benefits can only be provided by those powerful churches, while the churches of weaker deities are likely unable to offer such capabilities

Continuing to explore the building, Luo Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that although the structure was not large, it contained quite a number of rooms, and there was also a small courtyard at the back of the building

When Luo Yi arrived at the Church of Light and Justice, he saw a long line. It was the time for distributing bread at the Church of Light and Justice, after Luo Yi had spent most of the day at the Church of the God of Knowledge.

Of course, Luo Yi was also somewhat worried about whether the other party would allow him to read for free, after all, Luo Yi currently had not a single cent to his name

Upon seeing this, Luo Yi quickly ran to the back of the line to receive his bread, for Luo Yi, who had not eaten anything for nearly a day, was already so hungry that his stomach was pressed against his back

At the same time, after that battle in ancient times, this world transformed into one that worships the gods. In their quest for faith, these deities employed various means. The free benefits mentioned by Luo Yi originated from this context

Heavenly deities, without excessive explanation, refer to the kind of powerful divine beings imagined by people who possess the ability to destroy the world. Among them, it is particularly important to mention the human deities, which are defined as humans who hold divine status. Of the millions of deities, 99.9% are classified as human deities. The strength of human deities varies; some are powerful enough to be comparable to heavenly deities, while others are similar to ordinary humans.
