Inside the magnificent courtyard, the holy deity opened his eyes from meditation, his gaze filled with bewilderment.
Why does she feel like she's been collecting less faith power lately?
She has many followers, but only certain races can provide her with pure faith. Could it be that there is something wrong with those races?
The descent of a deity requires a significant amount of divine power and faith points, and it's truly not worthwhile to expend such resources for such a small amount of faith. Moreover, now is not the time for such a descent.
After thinking for a moment, she closed her eyes again, not intending to delve into the matter further.
Unbeknownst to An Ge, her actions had already attracted the attention of some of the gods.
At this moment, she discovered that as the power of faith increased, the previously listless plane seed suddenly regained its vitality. The power of faith transformed into a special energy, constantly replenishing the energy consumed in saving the Tree of Life.
"So what you need is the power of faith," An Ge murmured to herself. If the Seed of the Plane hadn't suddenly exerted its power this time, she wouldn't have known how to make the seed grow.
In the Kingdom of Daye, her power of merit was the power of faith, but because her faith was not pure enough, this power was insufficient to allow the seed to grow.
"Does this mean I should start recruiting followers too?" An Ge frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
Not long ago, she was advocating that we should believe in ourselves and not place our hopes on a nonexistent god. Can't she contradict herself and start advocating the importance of gods again?
The trouble lasted only a moment before An Ge regained her senses.
Hey, hasn't she always lived life on her own terms? Having faith is good, but not having it doesn't really affect her, does it?
Isn't constantly recruiting believers just another form of "996" or "007" work schedule?
I'm just a small shop owner; I don't have that much ambition.
My thoughts may change after I become a god, but that's a matter for the future. Thinking about it now is just worrying unnecessarily.
After figuring this out, An Ge became happy again.
Because there are other chosen ones in this plane, Xiao Qi doesn't even dare to communicate with An Ge in order to avoid being discovered, for fear that the other party might have some unknown ability that would definitely come to it.
But An Ge's thoughts were not kept from it. Sensing An Ge's thoughts, Xiao Qi happily circled around in its consciousness.
When it first became bound to An Ge, a voice told it that before it became a god, its purpose was to help its host run the inn well.
Although they went through many ups and downs and encountered many temptations, this goal remained their common objective, and the main theme did not change.
While the power of faith is very useful now, it doesn't want its master to devote most of his energy to it. Of course, if some actions lead others to become the master's followers, that would be a pleasant surprise.
In short, apart from running the inn, everything else is a side business.
The two beings, one human and one divine, did not communicate, but their thoughts were highly unified.
An Ge sensed it and found that the conversion of the power of faith would take some time. Thinking of that familiar energy, An Ge immediately found Lu Yan and explained her guess.
"No, that can't be right?" After his initial surprise, Lu Yan seemed unable to accept it. What's wrong with their demon race? How come they're always the villains in every plane of existence?
As expected, the future reputation of the demon race still depends on him.
Seeing Lu Yan's bewildered expression, An Ge asked worriedly, "Is he alright?"
Hu Jiu glanced up and said, "It's nothing. He probably thinks he is indeed a pure white lotus in the demon race, rising from the mud unsullied."
An Ge: "..."
She had only ever truly interacted with one demon, Lu Yan, and she had to admit that after hearing about the demons' deeds, Lu Yan really did have a bit of a "bad bamboo shoot coming from a bad bamboo" vibe.
"If you have the chance, go and visit your relatives, and while you're at it, see what kind of conspiracy the Abyss Demons are plotting?"
"Heh, we're not related. Maybe we just have similar powers. If that's the case, shouldn't Rongzhuo go and find a relative among the Tree People? That Tree of Life might even be one of his kind."
Lu Yan rolled his eyes. He had just not figured it out for a moment. Now that he understood, he no longer had that unacceptable feeling.
Even though they share the same source of power, their cultivation methods and the level of their racial development are different. The demons in the abyss are simply no match for him.
An Ge also felt that her suggestion was somewhat appropriate, and coughed awkwardly, "But seriously, if we were to face the Abyss, we might need your help."
Lu Yan hummed in agreement. He wouldn't mind even attacking the demons of Tianxuan Continent if An Ge needed him to, let alone these unrelated demons of the same clan.
Since the Tree of Life developed a cure, An Ge has spent her time either setting up the Central Forest or cultivating in the treehouse, which has caused Hu Jiu a lot of heartache.
"There's still some time before the auction, so don't overwork yourself."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't send any more power to the Tree of Life before I confront Fang Yuanyuan."
Based on her estimation, the power of faith should be almost fully converted before Fang Yuanyuan arrives. In order not to affect combat strength, the treatment of the Tree of Life must be postponed.
Fang Yuanyuan, who has sparked heated discussions on the mainland, has had a really tough time lately. She had just managed to appease the envoys from various races, but before she could even catch her breath, she heard that the beastmen had canceled their cooperation and returned to their own tribe.
"Damn it, they really are a bunch of beasts." Fang Yuanyuan was furious. If it were before, she wouldn't mind teaching the beastmen a lesson, but given the current situation, she could only tolerate it for the time being.
"Mote, why haven't we heard anything from those thieves yet? Didn't you say they couldn't possibly escape the capital?" A series of terrible events made Fang Yuanyuan's tone towards Mote somewhat unpleasant.
Mote seemed oblivious to Fang Yuanyuan's anger, his cool voice calm as he said, "I'm sorry, my master, but the thieves seem to have used a special ability. I discovered traces of an array in the outskirts of the capital. If I'm not mistaken, they may have used the array to escape."
“We have all the formations in the capital under our control, so how could there be a will? Could it be that those royals have some secrets?” Fang Yuanyuan was furious at the thought of being deceived.
Those royals are now her prisoners, yet they still won't behave.
"It doesn't seem like a leftover formation; it looks like it was newly set up. I suspect there might be a formation master among these thieves."
Fang Yuanyuan seemed to have heard something unbelievable, "A god descending?"
“Array masters aren’t exactly rare; it’s just that the construction method for teleportation arrays has been lost in this plane due to some special reasons. It seems someone has found the lost teleportation array; that’s quite interesting.”
"What's so interesting? Whose side are you on? The current situation is very unfavorable for us. I need to get the artifact as soon as possible. And the Central Forest, to hunt down that unknown Chosen One."
Fang Yuanyuan felt frustrated when she thought about her current situation. She was still not strong enough. If she were strong enough to control everything, what would be so scary about her even if she exposed her ambition?
