Lu Yun frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Currently, I do not lack resources for my own cultivation.
The problem is the number of believers.
Although their divine kingdom has been transformed and is no longer so desolate and lifeless, it is impossible for intelligent beings to emerge in the short term.
There are strict requirements for the promotion of priests.
Even if we don't talk about hundreds of thousands, ten thousand ordinary believers would be the most basic level.
Afterwards, Lu Yun continued to learn some basic knowledge and then began to inquire about the buying and selling of living beings in the Divine Realm.
Because the transaction was a mutually agreeable one and involved many businesses, Lu Yun quickly found several shops.
After some inquiries, the general price was 1:1: one point of faith essence or incense essence in exchange for an ordinary intelligent being; special intelligent beings would require a face-to-face meeting.
"As expected, the prices are outrageously high; they're clearly just ripping off tourists."
Lu Yun felt somewhat helpless.
Although I have nearly ten points of divine source, I don't squander them like this.
"It's better to gain followers through my own spiritual enlightenment; if all else fails, I can borrow some from my master..."
Lu Yun felt he was being a little shameless.
After returning to the divine realm, he began to practice the Dharma of Enlightenment of the Heavens.
Its fragile divine consciousness wandered through several nearby worlds.
He could sense that these worlds were governed by powerful deities, and were beyond his reach at the moment.
No wonder their teacher warned them not to covet the nearby world; the immense pressure from this power was several times greater than that of their master.
Therefore, Lu Yun had no choice but to stay as far away from these worlds as possible and travel to more distant places.
After searching for an unknown amount of time, until his spiritual sense was exhausted, Lu Yun finally stopped.
"As expected, it's impossible to pick up any scraps. After countless years of division, the surrounding world is not something that wild gods like us can only touch. And with our current strength, we can't reach any further."
Lu Yun sighed. If Option 1 didn't work, then Option 2 would be the only option left.
My master said he would go into seclusion for a few years, and during those years I raised my cultivation level to the ninth level of godhood.
......
A few years later.
Luo Chen broke through to the Great World God level and advanced to the Domain God level.
"Fortunately, I resolved the issue of fake believers before going into seclusion; otherwise, with the previous number of believers, it would have been completely insufficient to meet the requirements for advancing to the Domain God level."
Luo Chen looked at his system panel.
[Host: Luo Chen]
[Boundary: Domain God]
[God's Name: Eternal Chaos God]
[The Origin of Faith: 585.25 Million]
[Origin of Incense Offerings: 525.41 million]
[Divine Source: Omitted]
[Believers: Fanatical believers (30,000), devout believers (20 million), ordinary believers (850 million)]
[System Functions: Plunder, Copying, All Things Amplified (10,000x), Interdimensional Summoning, Daily Check-in, Apprenticeship Rewards (10,000x), Chat Group]
[System Evaluation: The doctrine of the mean is not advisable.]
"Um?"
At first, Luo Chen didn't pay much attention, but then he noticed something was wrong.
"Holy crap! Where did all these sources of faith and incense come from?!"
Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"System, what's going on? Did you give me a cheat code?"
He could hardly believe it.
[Ding! Host, do not slander this system. This system absolutely does not use cheats, nor would it stoop to using cheats.]
"That..."
[Ding! These resources were provided by the host's followers over the past five years.]
"That's not right. Even if it was provided by my followers, and we include all 800 million fake followers, it would only amount to about 50,000 or 60,000 at most..."
"Wait... does that mean a ten-thousand-fold increase can also increase the faith and incense offerings provided by believers?!"
Luo Chen was speechless.
[Ding! The host's guess was correct; everything can be amplified.]
Ye Yu said confidently.
Once you reach the Rule level, there's nothing that can't be amplified, even if the Order level isn't activated.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the apprentice recruitment task. Rewards will be distributed.]
[Ding! Due to the host taking on a disciple chosen by destiny, the reward is the power of Devouring and Fate!]
"Why does this authority look so familiar?"
Luo Chen seemed to be deep in thought, and after a moment he remembered that this was the power that his cheap disciple had not yet awakened!
[Ding! System task issued!]
[Mission: Take on another disciple, the Chosen One!]
[Reward: Unknown.]
The familiar task has arrived once again.
Luo Chen's heart pounded as he watched. Judging from the system's layout, it was meant to cultivate him into an omniscient and omnipotent god.
As long as he takes in enough disciples and wields countless powers, he will become the only true god in this world!
"Alright, alright, it's just taking on disciples. I'll take on as many chosen ones as there are!"
Luo Chen was excited.
“Now that my authority has increased, it will continue to grow in the future, which is in line with my divine name.”
Luo Chen sighed.
When I first crossed over to this world, I thought I would shine brightly and stand at the pinnacle of this world, so I chose this high-class god name from the very beginning.
So much so that even after his talent was revealed, he didn't dare to reveal his divine name, for fear of losing face and being ridiculed. He has kept it hidden until now, and no one knows what his divine name is.
"If it weren't for the fact that a god's name is unique and cannot be changed once it is determined, it would have been changed long ago."
Thinking of this, Luo Chen asked the system.
"System, can you help me change my god name? I feel like this god name isn't prestigious enough."
[Ding! Host's wish detected. One name change card awarded.]
"It's actually pretty good, but why does it smell a bit like a penguin..."
Luo Chen murmured.
"Use a name change card."
"The name of the deity is confirmed: the omniscient, omnipotent, and immortal true god."
"Hehe, this is much more impressive. But I won't reveal my divine name until my strength matches my divine name. I've already hidden it for three thousand years, so hiding it for a few thousand more won't hurt."
Luo Chen was very happy.
"Go out and see how my cheap apprentice is doing."
Luo Chen stood up and officially emerged from seclusion.
As soon as he left the temple, he sensed Lu Yun within the divine realm.
With a thought, Luo Chen arrived beside the other party.
"Master! You've emerged from seclusion!"
Sensing a familiar presence, Lu Yun awoke with a start, exited his cultivation state, and rose to bow.
"Hmm, it seems you've had a good time these past few years. You've reached level nine godhood, not bad at all."
Luo Chen was very satisfied.
This person's talent is far superior to mine.
It took me over a hundred years to achieve the level nine god.
The main reason was that they were alone and had no resources in the early stages.
Now that Lu Yun has his own investments and everything is going smoothly, he only needs to focus on his cultivation.
"This is all thanks to Master. If Master hadn't given me the Divine Source, I wouldn't have advanced so quickly."
Lu Yun was also sincerely grateful.
In the past few years at the academy, he has witnessed countless junior students and senior students worrying about cultivation resources and accumulating huge debts at a young age.
"Now that you're a ninth-level god, you can be promoted to a priest and awaken your authority as long as your followers meet the requirements. By the way, you didn't borrow any money, did you?"
Luo Chen remembered something.
"There is no master here. This disciple believes that this matter should be decided by the master. The cost of taking out loans outside is astronomical, so this disciple thinks..."
Lu Yun found it difficult to speak.
"It's good that there are no loans. Back then, I was also one of those who were cheated. It took me more than a thousand years to pay off the loans I had taken out."
The thought of it made his teeth itch; the interest compounded, it was a complete money-devouring beast.
But at that time he still had to borrow money. Fortunately, he eventually became financially capable and found the person who had lent him the money, and got all the interest back.
However, since they did help him out back then, he can consider the exorbitant principal as their profit.
Hearing Luo Chen recount this experience, Lu Yun was also filled with lingering fear. He never expected that the astronomical principal was not enough, and there was also a huge amount of interest, which was even higher than the principal.
