When Vivian and Fionn were "connected" with him, the essence they gained from them was the power of [hope].
Although he had just given it to Eiffel, Gu Xinghe didn't actually know much about the power within him.
Where does this power come from? What event caused it to appear?
Where else can he obtain such power?
Gu Xinghe recalled the series of events that followed, from when he fell into the sea due to a system teleportation error to his time on the sacrificial island.
This essence is the power of hope.
It should have first appeared when he was recovering from his injuries alone in the sea.
At that moment, he vaguely saw Theresa and Field and others praying for him in front of his statue.
Then he felt that he had established some kind of connection with some people.
However, this connection is still somewhat weak.
Gu Xinghe couldn't simply descend upon these people's locations as he had done with Vivian and Fionn.
But after that, after seeing this image of prayer.
Gu Xinghe then felt a warm power enter his body.
Then he gradually began to repair the damage to his body.
Although he was somewhat disoriented due to his injuries at the time.
But now it seems that this was clearly the power of hope he received from the prayers of Theresa, Field, and others.
Then, this power reappeared when Weaving and Fionnen were in despair.
This power called "hope" was offered to him because of his gift.
In other words, there are approximately two known methods for obtaining this essential power.
One that is related to faith.
When someone strongly believed that Gu Xinghe truly possessed such power, representing the essence of "hope"...
Their faith and will to Gu Xinghe will be corrupted and transformed into corresponding power, providing Gu Xinghe with "hope".
For example, followers of the Goddess of Thorns believe that she represents the essence of suffering and calamity.
Therefore, under such beliefs and understanding, their faith will be corrupted and transformed into the corresponding essential power to be provided to Him.
This is perhaps the most fundamental reason why faith is considered a form of pollution.
The second type is probably related to the events that happen to people and their emotional state at the time.
Just as Gu Xinghe had given Vivian and Fionn when they were in despair, so too had he given them salvation and hope.
At that time, they also gave back to Gu Xinghe the essential power of [hope] in some kind of "equivalent exchange".
At this point, Gu Xinghe seemed to understand why the Thorn Cult performed so many sacrifices.
And why did it take the personal creation of a tragedy like that befell Theresa before leading to the appearance of the Goddess of Thorns?
But at this moment, Gu Xinghe thought of the series of things Murdoch had done after obtaining the mermaid flesh.
Even during a severe famine, the people of the sacrificial island were affected by the appearance of constantly regenerating mermaid flesh.
They strongly believed in the existence of the Lord of the Ocean and Storms, a fictional being created by Murdoch.
Why then can't Murdoch obtain the same essential power of "hope" as he did from Weaving and Fionnant?
Obtain the essential power of [life] from the believers on the sacrificial island.
Moreover, after merging with that mermaid flesh that had been eroded and polluted by faith.
Murdoch also clearly felt that he was still missing something important from the final so-called "godhood".
At this moment, Gu Xinghe examined the power within his body related to the essence of [hope].
He recalled his encounter with the Goddess of Thorns at St. George's University.
The other party possesses the characteristic that no matter how time is reversed, the gods will remain unchanged in the river of time.
He suddenly realized—
The trigger for the power of hope he has now received exists in the "past".
At the same time, this power truly exists in the present day.
He will gain power regarding the essence of hope, precisely because the essence of his own power is unchanging.
This is not because he had such power in his previous life.
Therefore, he can now inherit the causal relationship of this power without doing anything.
Rather, it is a relationship in which the two are intertwined and influence each other.
Because Gu Xinghe now also manages to offer redemption and hope to others in times of despair.
He also gained the power of "hope", so the essence of his power is "unchanging".
And yet, because its essence is [unchanging].
Therefore, what Gu Xinghe will obtain now must be the power of [luck], [hope] and [miracle].
This is precisely the essence or concept he symbolizes.
Rather than other things related to the nature of "wealth" or "disaster".
In other words, this concept and essence of immutability is actually a power that only gods possess.
Or rather, having this power, he would be able to become a high-ranking being like a god.
At that moment, Gu Xinghe had a sudden realization—how his past life and present came about.
In this cycle of time, perhaps it was his "past life" that reversed time.
Through the two lifetimes of "past" and "present," he truly embodies the concept of his essential power: "unchanging."
That's why he didn't have much difficulty regaining that power.
