"The greater the faith, the stronger the pantheon..."

Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and asked doubtfully, "So, if the Cthulhu mythology has left no belief in the world, let alone any foundation, why are they so powerful?"

"So I say, they may not be 'myths'." Merlin spoke slowly, his eyes gleaming with a deep light, "The theoretical system about gods that exists in the world today does not apply to them at all...

The truth of Cthulhu Mythos may be the biggest mystery in the world."

"I have another question."

"Go ahead."

"Can the power of faith amplify the Forbidden Ruins?"

Merlin was slightly stunned when he heard this question.

He seemed to have never thought about this aspect of the problem. After thinking seriously for a moment, he nodded.

"In theory, it should be possible. The Forbidden Ruins is a supernatural phenomenon derived from the power of laws. Fundamentally speaking, they have the same origin... However, this situation cannot occur in reality."

"Why?"

"Because the Forbidden Ruins belong to humans, and humans do not have godhood, it is impossible for them to absorb the power of faith. They cannot even absorb the power of faith, let alone amplify the Forbidden Ruins."

Lin Qiye's brows suddenly frowned.

He clearly remembered that on the futon in the Cloud Palace, both he and Baili Pangpang's Forbidden Ruins were amplified by the power of faith... If it is impossible to absorb the power of faith without the divine nature, then how did they do it?

"If, I mean if... there is an item similar to a divine power that helps absorb the power of faith, then can the forbidden ruins of mankind be amplified?"

"An item similar to the divine nature?" Merlin shook his head. "Unless one is the Supreme God, one's divine nature cannot be materialized. And unless one perishes, the divine nature cannot leave the body... Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"No, I just asked casually."

Lin Qiye shrugged.

It would have been fine if Merlin didn't explain. After his explanation, things became even more confusing... Only the divinity of the Supreme God, after his fall, could become an item that could potentially help humans amplify the Forbidden Ruins?

That cushion, it can't possibly be the godhead of the Supreme God? !

"Why is there a broken corner of this mirror?" Galan walked to the Eight-foot Mirror and asked in confusion.

"It should have been accidentally cut by the Murasaki sword during the turmoil in Takamagahara." Merlin said calmly, "Only the Murasaki sword, which is said to be 'indestructible', could have caused such damage to the Yata Mirror."

"Nothing can be cut? Is it that powerful?"

"The Kusanagi sword is the first of the three great divine weapons of Japan. It is said to have the power to cut through everything. Even other divine weapons of the same level cannot withstand its slashing blow. It is the divine weapon with the heaviest killing aura in the entire country of Japan."

Lin Qiye nodded slightly, and recalled in his mind the huge mirror he saw at the bottom of the Japanese Sea. There was also a sharp gap on it, which should correspond to the cut mark of the Ame-Kurosaku sword.

"But why... is it bleeding?" Galan stretched out his hand and pointed to the gap in the corner of the Yata Mirror. He saw strands of blood slowly encroaching on the surrounding area.

"That's not blood, it's the pollution of the Red Moon." Merlin explained, "When the Eight-foot Mirror was shattered during the turmoil, a gap was formed connecting the inner world and the outer world. The pollution of the Red Moon can penetrate through this gap... Hmm?"

Merlin froze in the middle of his words.

"What's wrong, Lord Merlin?"

"No..." Merlin stared at the gap with puzzlement on his face.

"The Eight-foot Mirror was shattered long ago during the Takamagahara Rebellion. According to the speed of the Red Moon's pollution, it should have been completely corroded more than fifty years ago, and the 'human circle' inside it should have been completely destroyed.

How is it possible that after so many years, only a small part has been eroded?"

This was the first time that Lin Qiye saw a confused look on Merlin's face since he was discharged from the hospital. His eyes, sparkling with star marks, stared at the gap in the Eight-foot Mirror, but he could not see the trajectory of fate in it, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"Will the pollution from the Red Moon affect the 'Human Circle' through this gap?" Lin Qiye recalled carefully for a moment and shook his head. "When I was in the 'Human Circle' before, I didn't feel the breath of the Red Moon at all... Could it be that the pollution penetrated too slowly?"

"Impossible." Merlin pointed at the red spot in the corner of the mirror. "It's spreading very fast. At this rate, the Yata Mirror will be completely corroded in half a year at most... It's not that it's infiltrating slowly, but it only started to infiltrate a month or two ago.

If I'm not mistaken, something has been preventing the red moon from eroding the Yata Mirror for the past fifty years... but it failed a month or two ago."

A month or two ago?

Isn't that exactly the time for them to leave Japan and return to Daxia?

Lin Qiye lowered his head in thought, and his peripheral vision just happened to catch a glimpse of a long river of aurora flowing slowly past him. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

It has existed for the past fifty years or more, but disappeared a month or two ago... This timeline seems to coincide with the time when Baili Pangpang was sitting on the futon?

Is there any inevitable connection between the two?

The moment this idea came into his mind, a vague train of thought flashed through Lin Qiye's mind.

More than fifty years ago, Baili Pangpang, the mysterious futon, the power of faith, the disarmament of all things, the red moon pollution...

The future Wang Mian sent the "Nightfall" team to Japan, and the time of other members only stopped for a few months to two years. Why was only Baili Pangpang sent back to more than 50 years ago?

What kind of connection does Baili Pangpang have with the futon? Why can he hear its call?

If the mysterious power that has blocked the red moon's erosion for decades is Baili Pangpang's [Disarmament of All Things] after being amplified by faith, then the purpose of the future king sending Baili Pangpang back to the past is to protect the "human circle" from being corroded by the red moon and ultimately destroyed?

Why did he do that?

Simply to save tens of millions of lives in the "human circle"?

Or is it for something else in the "human circle"?

Thoughts flooded into Lin Qiye's mind one after another. He could feel that the mysterious veil covering all the unknowns was about to be unveiled, and everything was about to be connected. The only thing missing was the last crucial piece of the puzzle...

Where is this puzzle piece?
