Chapter 116: The Gods Also Unite
Since Baishen has become one of our gods, he is one of us.
The more Lu Yao looked at the white wild boar, the more he liked it. He thought it was adorable and harmless to humans and animals.
The fact is just as Baishen said. Even if it makes the statue fall to the ground, it will not affect the existence and movement of the wild boar body.
It was his identity as a god that allowed Lu Yao to gain a deeper understanding of the Temple of the Gods.
The righteous gods can see the [population], [faith] and [props] that belong to them.
In the temple, it is difficult for subordinate gods to rebel against the righteous gods.
First, the statue is placed in the temple, which is equivalent to exposing the neck to the blade of the righteous god, and may face the most direct punishment at any time.
The second is the suppression and restraint of the fire of faith.
Now there is a small white flame in the bonfire, which is the fire of faith in the White God.
The fire of faith in God will merge into the bonfire of the righteous God and protect the righteous God.
As long as Lu Yao wanted to, he could take away all the faith in God and use it for his own benefit.
Without the fire of faith, the gods would lose their divinity and the ability to perform miracles.
As a vassal of the true god, the subordinate god will lose a large part of his autonomy.
But on the other hand, the gods are also protected by the righteous gods.
Take Baishen as an example.
After being enshrined in Lu Yao’s Temple, he was protected by the fire of faith of the righteous gods.
If Baishen's faith is exhausted due to force majeure and he faces the threat of falling, the righteous god Lu Yao can directly pass on the power of faith to him to support his subordinate gods. This is equivalent to giving Baishen an extra layer of powerful invisible health bar.
Of course, it is not cost-effective to use faith in this way.
The righteous gods and the subordinate gods share a pool of faith. They prosper together and suffer together.
…
Lu Yao has a headache now.
Being divine also requires faith and population.
In ancient times, there were believers who betrayed the belief in God Yao and fled, which led to a decrease in the belief in Lu Yao.
If the White God exists, it will inevitably absorb the faith of some people, and the population will also be lost accordingly. This will be a serious internal friction.
The population of this fragment world is too small, and there won’t be enough to go around if there are two gods.
Philus said that the gods in the Pantheon were fighting overtly and covertly for believers. The more gods there were in a temple, the more internal conflicts there were.
Lu Yao decided to let Bai Shen go to open up the wasteland! Isn't this world slowly expanding and growing?
Let the White God go to the end of the world to find believers there, so that they can support each other and avoid internal circulation.
The more Lu Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was perfect.
After listening to this, Baishen said cautiously: "Master Zhengshen, um... I wonder if I can first gather some faith and population in the mature cities here?"
"My strength is mediocre now, so going out won't be very effective. If I can accumulate some faith here and bring some people over, it should be more helpful for exploring the border..."
Lu Yao was furious! You are such a pig! How dare you covet my faith and population?
He had just surrendered, and was thinking about picking his superiors' pockets. How ridiculous! Lu Yao immediately scolded him and sent him to a remote place to reflect on himself.
As a result, Bai Shen's subsequent explanation changed Lu Yao's mind slightly.
"Sir Zhengshen, it would be a waste if we don't use these people and faith."
A question mark appeared above Bai Shen's head.
Lu Yao frowned, realizing that it was not that simple.
As he dug deeper, he learned something he had never thought of.
There is no problem of population and belief competition or conflict between the main gods and subordinate gods in the same temple camp.
If there is a believer who believes in Lu Yao, he can also believe in Baishen at the same time. Such a believer will bring two populations and two points of faith at the same time.
If there is a second subordinate god in the temple, then one believer believes in three gods at the same time, and a total of 3 population and 3 faiths will be generated.
Simply put, it's one fish, three ways to cook it.
However, the more gods there are, the more diluted the faith will be. It is difficult for believers to believe in too many gods at the same time. So in the end, they can only truly believe in a few.
It's a bit like making friends.
Everyone may know many friends. Some friends are friends who just like each other’s posts, some are friends who just nod to each other, and only very few friends are friends who can be trusted with heart.
However, the population, which represents the body of God, cannot be superimposed.
Lu Yao felt excited.
There is strength in numbers, it seems even gods need to stick together!
If there is a way to obtain divinity in the future, we must vigorously promote the construction of a polytheistic civilization!
The belief in gods must also be diversified and developed in a diversified way, so as to increase the production capacity of belief and increase the speed of internal circulation! Lu Yao immediately agreed to Bai Shen's request and first sent Bai Shen to the neighboring Yancheng. The city's development there has been somewhat stagnant recently, and it also needs gods to go there to stimulate it. Bai Shen is just right.
It was only a moment after entering the Yancheng Temple that Baishen's panel changed.
Population: 32 Faith: 10 Lu Yao's own population and faith did not decrease at all.
This made him completely relieved.
After a while, a reminder popped up on the screen.
[Yaocheng has developed a fanatical worship of you because of the appearance of the God, and its faith has been greatly improved. 】
Lu Yao glanced at the interface.
Faith: 21,921 The current population of Yaocheng is about 12,000, and each person has generated 1 additional point of faith.
This unexpected gain made Lu Yao smile. The more faith he had, the more comfortable he was with the operation.
…
The coming of God has brought about a series of changes in Yancheng.
First, the temple.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
On ordinary days, there are few worshippers at the Yancheng Temple. But since the appearance of the White God, there has been an endless stream of citizens coming to the temple to pray. They kneel outside the temple and offer their respective offerings devoutly.
Some were corals, some were pickled fish, some were bacon, and there were also some gems and sea shells.
Compared with the solemn and dignified theological atmosphere of Yaocheng, the people of Yancheng are more secular and direct.
Of course, the sacrifices were not given for free.
The citizens who pray have their own wishes.
"God, please bless me to have a prosperous business this year and make a lot of money."
"Great Yao God, majestic Lord Baishen, please listen to the humble plea of your followers. Please, Lord Baishen, give me a ship full of pearls!"
"Lord Baishen, you are the god of wealth. I beg for your tiny glory. Please grant me a room full of gems and agates. Not too much, just a whole room will do..."
"My most honorable God, I hope to receive your guidance. Please tell me which direction contains the treasure. After the success, I will come here to worship you every day and praise your greatness and honor!"
…
Lu Yao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
As expected of Yancheng, where merchants gather, prayers and wishes are mainly for wealth.
The White God is so popular here, which is partly because He has given many gems to His followers. This is also the effect of His special ability [Treasure Hunter].
Lu Yao watched with interest to see how Bai Shen would handle the situation.
After a while, Bai Shen actually produced a prophet.
This prophet, dressed in colorful feathers and looking extremely noble, is none other than Doronunu.
The local tyrant chief suddenly transformed himself into an important prophet in the temple.
Doronunu stood outside the temple, holding a golden scepter and his feathers were covered with glittering gems, looking extremely luxurious.
A dialog box appeared above his head: "Citizens! Lord Baishen has heard your prayers and requests. He is also willing to fulfill your wishes for wealth!"
"Now, Lord Baishen has told me the direction to the endless treasures. I will announce it to you!"
The villains swarmed in from all around, surrounding the temple tightly.
When it comes to treasure, Doronunu is a very convincing person.
Duolunnunu waved the golden staff: "Do you want the treasures of this world? If you want, I will give it to you. Go and find it! The road to the great dream!"
"There is a huge treasure hidden in the north, with mountains of gold, gems, pearls and precious offerings!"
"Your courage and persistence will be richly rewarded in the North!"
The citizens were in an uproar.
Many merchants and sailors boarded galleys that day and headed north to start their treasure hunt. The entire Yancheng was immersed in the craze for the treasure of God...
Lu Yao was typing above Bai Shen's head.
——Is there really a treasure in the north? Bai Shen said cautiously: "Master Zhengshen, few people have ever been to the border of the world. They do have a chance to get some treasures and spread the faith in gods..."
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment.
Who would doubt the oracle of a god?
As long as one person can find the so-called treasure, the others will be greatly motivated.
In short.
With just one sentence, Bai Shen revitalized the entire Yancheng and started a vigorous exploration and treasure hunt.
Lu Yao sighed inwardly.
Throwing Baishen in Yancheng is like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one dares to fight, the other is willing to be beaten.
A perfect match.
