The witch doctor's attitude towards these two was unlike that towards servants or prisoners. Perhaps, the witch doctor was one of their own?
Yes, even though An Ge admitted that they were purebloods, these mixed-bloods still considered An Ge and the others as one of their own.
Purebloods discriminate against mixed-bloods, and mixed-bloods also dislike purebloods. Being recognized as one of their own by mixed-bloods is no easy feat.
"Why did you save us, sir?" the dwarf-hybrid asked, echoing the sentiments of everyone present.
An Ge smiled and said, "What's the difference between a mixed-race person and a pure-blooded person? Aren't they all life? All living beings are equal."
The phrase "all beings are equal" usually has a somewhat sarcastic feel to it, but in this situation, An Ge felt that nothing could better express her feelings than this phrase.
"All beings are equal!" The mixed-race individuals pondered this phrase. In their minds, how could all beings be equal? Everyone has different beliefs, and they, the mixed-race individuals, were people abandoned by their own beliefs.
"But, but we have been abandoned by the god we believe in."
"Have you ever seen a god?" Seeing everyone shake their heads, An Ge continued, "Since you haven't seen one, how do you know that this god doesn't favor you? Besides, if you are truly abandoned by the faith in your hearts, then you can just find another god that won't abandon you."
Who says you have to worship the gods of your own race? In my opinion, you mixed-race people are much freer. Because no one forces you to worship these gods based on your bloodline.”
An Ge knew she was exaggerating a bit, but in this situation, she needed to gain everyone's trust, so it wouldn't hurt to give them some inspirational words now and then.
Because of her encounter with Chu Ran in the secret realm, An Ge learned that gods exist in the world, but these gods have limited power and cannot bestow too much power upon believers. Unless there is a large-scale "unfollowing," they will not attract the attention of the gods.
Moreover, these mixed-race individuals did not have a firm faith to begin with, and could not provide the gods with any power of faith. If they turned to other religions, An Ge was not worried at all about the gods bringing down calamities.
You know, even God is very busy; how could He have time to deal with such trivial matters?
The so-called conflict of faith in this plane has nothing to do with gods; it's nothing more than a case of mediocre people making trouble for themselves.
If possible, An Ge would rather these people had no faith at all; there's nothing wrong with living freely.
But in this world, having no faith is no different from killing them, so Ange chose to do as the Romans do.
She didn't think she had successfully brainwashed them with just a few words. Unexpectedly, everyone fell silent after hearing An Ge's words.
Having lived this long, this was the first time they had ever heard anyone say that people of mixed races have more freedom of religion.
Well, it seems to make a lot of sense?
“You’re right. Since the gods don’t protect us, why should we persist? If I can get out of here alive, I will definitely find a faith that can protect me,” the dwarf-hybrid said firmly.
Although the other mixed-race individuals didn't speak, their eyes told An Ge that they shared the same thoughts.
An Ge... These people are too easy to fool, aren't they?
That said, she's practically a deity, so there seems to be something wrong with her encouraging others to change their faith like this.
An Ge didn't know that these people weren't easily swayed. Rather, they had struggled for so long that their hearts had already begun to waver, and they just needed someone to awaken them.
After An Ge held a brainwashing session, everyone's attitude towards her became noticeably more friendly.
Whether it's their abilities or their personal charisma, they have complete faith in An Ge and can be said to obey his every command.
A five- or six-year-old mixed-race child, hearing the adults talking about An Ge, blinked his big eyes and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, Mommy, you say that gods are omnipotent and that they are the ones who save us. That brother is also saving us, so is he our god?"
The adult mixed-race person felt a jolt in their heart. Yes, if they believed in the being that would save them, why couldn't they believe in someone they could see?
The idea was still vague. Their long-standing awe of the unknown gods would not make them think clearly about faith for a while, but even so, everyone had a little more respect for Ange.
"Hmm? How come there's a trace of faith power?" An Ge was meditating and resting when she suddenly sensed a faint trace of faith power and opened her eyes curiously.
In the Kingdom of Daye, she never lacked the power of faith.
Especially after Feng Jinghan was made crown prince, he would carry out reforms from time to time. Every change that benefited the people would deepen her faith.
Perhaps because her protection of Feng Jinghan was too obvious, everyone felt that their crown prince was a person blessed by the gods, and that the god was themselves. Therefore, every time they expressed gratitude to the court, An Ge would receive a share of the faith.
But she is not a true deity, and the power of faith cannot cross dimensions, so where does this faith come from?
"What's wrong?"
An Ge explained in a low voice, "Could it be that my nonsense actually brainwashed people? But no matter what, they can't believe me, can they?"
Hu Jiu couldn't help but laugh. "It's perfectly normal to have faith in you. In my opinion, you're more powerful than any god."
An Ge blushed. Hu Jiu's sweet talk was truly everywhere.
The next morning, An Ge received a message from Liu Tingxue.
“An Xiaoge, I’ve succeeded. I’m going to give the things to Fang Yuanyuan today.”
An Ge was startled. "Should we confront her directly?"
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a plan. I added a little something to the magic potion to help her. Once Fang Yuanyuan drinks the potion, we'll find a chance to take her away."
Although An Ge was worried, she had no choice but to trust Liu Tingxue.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful. If the Qiankun Bracelet could hold living things, it would be much more convenient for her to put these hybrids inside.
It is said that the Qiankun Bracelet is not a complete divine artifact, otherwise a divine artifact would not be without a spirit. I wonder if she has any chance to find the missing parts.
After speaking with An Ge, Liu Tingxue sent someone to inform Fang Yuanyuan of the good news that the experiment had been completed.
Thankfully, the contract between the chosen one and the divine servant lacked a communication function; otherwise, Liu Tingxue might not have been able to maintain her disguise for so long.
Fang Yuanyuan, who had just been angered by the orcs, was overjoyed to hear this news and rose from her throne.
"Haha, it must be the effect of the recent large-scale capture of hybrids that made us succeed half a month ahead of schedule. With this last bottle, my strength will increase again. At that time, those beastmen and holy cultists will not be able to bargain with me anymore."
Mott bowed respectfully. "Congratulations, my master. You are the master of this world. No, you are the master of every world."
"Mote, what you say always makes me so happy." Of all the divine servants, the reason she felt most special towards Mote was not only because of his strength, but also because he was completely devoted to her, and he was the only one who called her master.
The fact that a servant with the power of a legendary mage could be so devoted to her gave Fang Yuanyuan, who was equally proud, immense satisfaction.
