"Faith Ranking... Select the top 100 planets to enter the small world..."
"A cultivation speed increase of more than ten times...and an easy-to-understand immortal cultivation technique..."
"Not only that, there are also countless top-grade divine spirit veins and spirit-gathering arrays at the God-King level..."
"Heavens! The Immortal Sect Master actually granted us such a blessed cultivation ground to enjoy..."
...
In the starry sky, when the disciples of the Immortal Sect implanted top-grade divine veins into various planets, it caused a great sensation on those tens of thousands of planets.
Countless living beings sensed the increased concentration of primordial energy between heaven and earth, and became excited and frenzied about it.
Therefore, they all devoutly worshipped Lu Tao's statue, contributing a great deal of faith power to Lu Tao.
But before their excitement could subside...
The emergence of faith rankings has driven them into a state of frenzy.
Just like the creatures of the Qianyu Continent, they flocked to the idea of a cultivation speed increase of ten times or more.
No living being would miss such an opportunity.
Those with poor aptitude, after receiving more than ten times the training improvement, coupled with the comprehension of cultivation techniques, the blessing of divine veins and spirit-gathering arrays, have the potential to reach the realm of Martial God.
Those with high aptitude, after receiving these blessings, will find that even ascending to become a Celestial God or a Divine Lord is no longer an unattainable dream, let alone a mere Martial God.
Under such circumstances, all living beings went completely mad about this matter.
In an instant.
The ten thousand planets that worshipped Lu Tao fell into near silence after the faith rankings appeared, and instead frantically worshipped the idols.
I just hope to enter the small world as soon as possible.
At this moment, Lu Tao's voice continued to ring out.
"Next, I will check the faith ranking every month and select a planet and one hundred races according to the ranking, so that you can enter the small world."
Lu Tao's words immediately caused an uproar among countless living beings, who were in the middle of worship and stopped in their tracks.
"This... if we are only selected once a month, then if we are not selected next month, wouldn't we have worked for nothing this month?"
“Foolish. After Sect Master Lu selects a planet and race, the ranking list will not be reset. Naturally, the more we worship, the more faith power each individual accumulates, and the higher the average value will be.”
“That’s right. The longer the worship takes, the higher the average value will be. As long as we persevere, we will definitely have a chance to be selected into the small world.”
...
"It seems that gaining access to the small world will not be easy; it will be a protracted battle."
"Yes, if Sect Leader Lu wants to select all one hundred planets, it will take him nearly ten years. During these ten years, we will all need to worship him devoutly."
"Ten years of pilgrimages, in exchange for the qualification to enter the small world... It's worth it!"
"Absolutely worth it, let's give it our all!"
"Moreover, it might not even take ten years? Perhaps only five years, one year, or even half a year or one month, which would be even more worthwhile!"
...
"Hey, although there are fewer planets to choose from, there are many more races to choose from. A hundred races can be selected at once. Even if you don't work hard for your planet to be chosen, you should at least go crazy for your own race."
"More importantly, our races have many advantages in being selected. For example, the average faith contribution of the races on the planets selected in the first round will be extremely high. Once a planet is selected, those races will also be selected, and the rankings of those lower-ranked races will be greatly improved."
"Indeed, it seems that entering a small world based on the average contribution of a race is relatively easier than entering a planet."
"Whether we rely on the planet or on our own race, in short... we need to worship it with devotion."
"Stop dawdling and hurry up and pay your respects."
Lu Tao's choice caused countless beings to frown, but at the same time, it also made them realize that the qualification to enter the small world was not so easy to obtain.
They need to persevere in this for a long time.
otherwise.
Such opportunities would be out of their reach, and as for things like martial gods or celestial gods, they would naturally be like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water—visible but unattainable.
Similarly, many living beings also harbored a sense of wishful thinking...
No, it can't be called wishful thinking, but rather a fighting spirit, wanting to compete with other planets and races and strive to be chosen on the first or in the first few rounds.
In this way, they wouldn't need to spend ten years frantically worshipping.
What excites many creatures even more is the selection of races.
The method of selecting one hundred at a time, compared to selecting planets, excites them even more.
after all.
No matter how much you care about a planet, there are just too many races on a planet, and racial differences are the same everywhere.
What truly inspires them is the struggle for the planet and the fight for their own species.
Especially.
Regardless of whether a planet is ultimately selected, as long as its race has a high average contribution, it has a chance of being selected.
Just as countless creatures were discussing this, Lu Tao spoke again.
"In addition, if there are planets or races that perform exceptionally well, I will make an exception and select them."
Lu Tao's alternative selection method excited countless living beings.
"Special selection? I wonder what kind of special selection is being made."
"Nonsense, they'll definitely make exceptions based on the rankings. For example, if the top two are too far ahead of the rest, they can make an exception and choose the second-ranked planet. The same should apply to races."
"That's right, this is a ranking list after all, so of course we should choose according to the rankings."
"Great! With this exceptional selection, the time it will take us to enter the small world might be shortened considerably."
...
The exceptional selection method further invigorated the already fervent beings.
This has led to countless planets and races hoping to gain access to the small world in a month.
They also harbored a侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality), hoping that Lu Tao would make an exception and bring them into the small world.
Especially for many races, being selected through racial rankings and being given special consideration offers a greater chance of success.
After all, entering the small world a month earlier is equivalent to gaining several years of cultivation and improvement. Who wouldn't be eager to take such a good opportunity?
Even if they waste years or decades now, it's all worth it as long as they can enter the small world.
But Lu Tao's voice continued.
"Just a reminder: if you are not sincere, you cannot contribute to your faith. In addition, sincere kneeling and praying will be more effective."
Bang bang bang!
As soon as Lu Tao said this, countless beings on tens of thousands of planets knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed repeatedly.
At this moment, dignity, restraint, and so on all become irrelevant.
This shows just how attractive entering the small world is to them.
but.
Among the many planets and races, there are still many high-level cultivators who do not kneel down.
Accustomed to being high and mighty, they used to be able to worship the statues of gods without hesitation, but now that they had to kneel down, they were quite hesitant.
But in the end, at the urging of countless clan members, they still reluctantly knelt down in worship.
As they knelt and worshiped, their mindset gradually changed from resentment to willingness.
After all, they have already knelt down. If their worship is not sincere, then it is meaningless. They not only lose their dignity, but also gain nothing for their race and the planet.
In other words, those who were supported by racial resources and attained high levels of cultivation have become a drag on the team.
They certainly wouldn't do something so thankless and exhausting.
Moreover, they could accept kneeling before a peerless genius who had ascended to the divine realm and whose power was beyond the control of all the races in the divine realm.
That's how it is.
In the entire starry sky, almost all ten thousand planets made only one sound: the sound of bowing.
They kowtowed frantically towards the statue of Lu Tao.
"My God, this is crazy."
He Yuanshuang took in everything through the binoculars and was utterly astonished.
This also shows how lucky those disciples and mounts of the Immortal Sect were to be chosen by Lu Tao and follow him around.
This is an opportunity that countless living beings have longed for but could not obtain.
suddenly.
He Yuanshuang suddenly remembered something and reminded them, "Husband, you forgot to remind them that the higher their cultivation level, the more faith power they will contribute."
“I can’t remind you,” Lu Tao shook his head.
"Why?" He Yuanshuang asked instinctively without thinking much about it.
Lu Tao laughed and said, "If we remind them, some bad things might happen to those planets and races with large populations."
"Ah... Husband, do you mean there might be a massacre inside them?" He Yuanshuang stared wide-eyed in shock, finding the matter somewhat unbelievable.
Those are our own people, how can you really bring yourself to do that?
Those are not just a few, a few hundred, or a few tens of thousands of lives, but hundreds of millions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of lives.
"Don't underestimate the ruthlessness of these creatures."
Lu Tao nodded and said, "You have to understand that after they enter the small world, both the planet and the race can achieve better development than in the outside world."
"The benefits I've mentioned outright alone include more than ten times the improvement in cultivation, as well as numerous high-grade divine veins and god-king level spirit-gathering arrays. Such benefits will inevitably lead countless beings to take risks."
"This could lead to the martial kings and martial gods within those planets and races turning their swords against the lower-level beings within them, and this karma will ultimately fall on my head."
Upon hearing this, He Yuanshuang's expression changed drastically, and she immediately said, "My husband is so thoughtful. Fortunately, we didn't tell them, otherwise the karmic consequences would have been too great."
Just thinking about the consequences sent chills down He Yuanshuang's spine.
That involves tens of thousands of planets and countless races.
Even if it's only one percent or one thousandth of a planet or race that chooses to do this, the number of lives slaughtered will be an extremely terrifying figure.
This number was something He Yuanshuang couldn't even imagine.
Thinking back to those days.
When facing the demon and monster realms, in order to avoid getting too involved in the karma, Lu Tao chose to spare the low-level beings in those realms who had great grudges against the Daqian Dynasty.
Now, Lu Tao naturally dared not take any risks with the countless beings on these planets and among these races.
Even if he has already reached the pinnacle of divine power and possesses immense merit, he cannot be tainted by this karma.
But then He Yuanshuang thought of something and said with great worry, "But husband, once the rankings of planets and races are revealed, those powerful people will inevitably see something. The relationship between realm and power of faith will be discovered by them sooner or later."
"It's alright!"
Lu Tao shook his head and said nonchalantly, "If this matter is not handled properly, it is indeed easy to be discovered. However, the number of races in the starry sky is actually quite large. It will take some time to discover this, and I will not give them that time."
Lu Tao smiled and continued, "Because... those races with fewer members but higher cultivation levels, as long as they worship sincerely, I will take them into my small world during the first selection, so as to avoid other races from noticing this."
"As for those races with few members but not very devout... since they are not very devout, their average contribution per person is naturally not high, and they are not much different from other more devout races. Keeping them would only give other races a false impression..."
"The power of faith is completely unrelated to the realm or number of living beings."
"The more devoutly they worship, the higher their ranking will be."
"In this way, they will naturally not think of attacking the lower-level creatures on the planet or within their race, and such consequences will naturally not fall on my head."
Upon hearing this, He Yuanshuang suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as she said, "My husband has considered things more thoroughly; this approach is indeed better."
However, she then added with some regret, "But in this way, my husband will lose a lot of faith. Originally, after being bestowed with superior divine veins, they could greatly improve his cultivation in a short period of time, but now he will have to spend almost all his time kneeling in worship."
"Shuang'er, you're mistaken!"
Lu Tao laughed and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that these creatures are now frantically kneeling before me. In reality, after a month, when I select a planet and a hundred races, many low-level creatures will feel discouraged and begin to cultivate."
"The benefits that can be seen are the real ones."
“Now that they are cultivating, they can at least truly feel a significant improvement in their own realm, which is much more real than being chosen by me in a vague and uncertain way.”
“That’s right.” He Yuanshuang nodded, then added, “But wouldn’t the power of faith drop drastically after a month?”
"It won't drop drastically."
Lu Tao shook his head and calmly analyzed, "In the beginning, there will indeed be a period of decline in faith power. However, once their cultivation level improves, they will be even more eager to enter the small world."
"That's true."
He Yuanshuang's eyes lit up as she said, "Just the top-grade divine vein bestowed by my husband has allowed them to improve their cultivation level so quickly. Their improvement will definitely be even greater after entering the small world. They will indeed be even more tempted."
"Hahaha, not bad. And when they are rejected again, they will cultivate frantically again, and then feel their cultivation level improve, which will increase their desire to enter the small world again... This cycle repeats endlessly." Lu Tao laughed heartily.
He Yuanshuang couldn't help but rub her forehead and say, "My God, this is truly a bittersweet thing for them."
Lu Tao laughed and said, "Therefore, once those wise people understand this point, they will order those low-level beings not to be greedy for temporary improvement in cultivation, and that kneeling down with all their might is the best choice."
He Yuanshuang nodded and smiled, "That's really good. In that case, the races that my husband chose are at least smarter at the higher levels, and not so stupid. This will be of some help to the Immortal Sect in the future."
"That's right, this is a selection process."
Lu Tao nodded with a smile.
He Yuanshuang was also happy for her husband, and then asked curiously, "Husband, how was the power of faith you gained today?"
Lu Tao laughed and said, "It's hundreds of times more faith than I've gained in the past month or so."
"My God, is this incredible?" He Yuanshuang exclaimed in shock, "Only half an hour has passed, and we've already reaped so much?"
This boost is even greater than her previous suggestion to bring living beings into the Lesser Thousand Worlds and gain a thirty-two-fold time acceleration boost.
"Yes, it was worth sacrificing ten thousand top-grade divine veins."
Lu Tao was also quite pleased.
The temptation to enter the small world is simply too great.
On every planet and among every race, almost every living being is frantically contributing faith points to Lu Tao.
also.
Another reason for the huge increase in faith value is kneeling. Compared to bowing in worship, kneeling contributes five times more faith power.
Now we have these faith points.
Not only is the energy consumed by He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Xiaotianquan, and the two children in comprehending the domain more than enough, but if this continues, Lu Tao will probably not have to worry about the energy consumption for comprehending the rules when he advances to the God King realm.
Of course, Lu Tao never wanted too much faith value; the more the better.
Just then.
Suddenly, a large number of mounts and disciples sent messages to Lu Tao.
"Sect Leader, our clan has already taken refuge in you. Now we will erect a statue in your honor!"
"Sect Master, a Martial God has approached me, hoping that their race can also become your followers and have a chance to enter the Small World."
"Sect Master, some Martial Gods have approached the disciples; they also want to join..."
...
In a short period of time, countless messages came in...
