"My Lord, thank you for your protection and blessing, allowing me to discover the truth of this world..."
Lu's growth to this level has already granted him some traits of a Deity.
As long as there are corresponding rituals and prayers, and he is an "Executor" on his Path, communication with him is possible.
Perhaps, putting it another way would be more straightforward... Priests, Bishops, and the Pope, those True Gods' actual executors and believers.
In the current situation, the locals with such authority are the will executors of Lu Ping'an, those holders of the "Hero" Profession.
Lu Ping'an's sacrificial ritual is quite simple; he is not an Evil God who requires believers to sacrifice others' lives... In fact, he has always despised such behavior.
"As the God of Life, the sacrificial offering is still Life, but it must be your own life."
Life is Lu Ping'an's Authority; as the "linking point," it is unavoidable, but the source can be controlled.
