The Fishman youth and Cang Xu once explored and estimated the outcome of clerical promotion.
Their discussion concluded that most likely it would be at the Saint Heir level, a small part might be a cardinal bishop, and there was a minor possibility of becoming the Pope.
In his last prayer, the Fishman youth had already become an Archbishop, the same as Zhou Zhang.

The Pope is comparable to the King.

"A divine agent, replacing the gods, walking the world, exercising Divine Authority. Why does it feel like this office is even more powerful than the Pope?"
The Fishman youth secretly murmured.
"No matter what, the Divine Country Descent Technique has finally been obtained!"
