Chapter 16 The Proportion of Grace
Although the old man's becoming a fanatic involved some trickery—after all, he worshipped his grandson Ling Xiao—a fanatic is still a fanatic, and will always be much better than those believers of lower faith levels.
The next step for a fanatic is to become a saint. To become a saint, a fanatic needs to constantly refine their soul through faith, thereby transforming their soul.
Believers are treasures of the gods, and every believer deserves to be cherished by the gods, especially when they have just become gods. After all, the faith power provided by believers is enormous. If no feedback is given, a believer can give a god a drop of divine power in ten days.
"My lord, what is the purpose of the Light Seed bestowed upon me?" the old man asked cautiously.
“Ling Shi, from now on, don’t call me Divine Envoy anymore. Just call me Father Luke. This Seed of Light will give you soul power and make you a Soul Master,” Father Luke explained gently.
"How is that possible? Isn't it said that to become a Soul Master, one must possess innate Soul Power?" the old man said in disbelief.
“So this is a miracle, allowing ordinary people without innate soul power to become soul masters,” Ling Xiao said quietly from the side.
“Indeed, our Lord’s divine power is boundless, and he can naturally accomplish such a thing,” Father Luke praised.
"Grandpa, why don't you absorb this Seed of Light?" Ling Xiao said.
"My Lord, what should I do?" the old man asked seriously. If absorbing it could truly turn him, an ordinary person, into a Soul Master, it would be an invaluable treasure. He couldn't ruin it because of his own mistake. No one knew if he would have a chance to obtain a second one.
“Ling Shi, all you need to do is hold it in your hand and pray sincerely to our Lord once,” Father Luke said.
Afterwards, under Father Luke's guidance, the old man began his first prayer. After the old man finished praying, the Seed of Light disappeared. After the Seed of Light disappeared, the old man felt a light-attribute energy appear in his body. He thought this must be the so-called soul power.
"Father Luke, how should I improve my strength in the future?" the old man asked.
“As long as you devoutly worship our Lord, our Lord will bestow blessings upon you. However, these blessings are determined according to your level of faith and are rationed daily. Of course, if you successfully spread your faith and develop a follower, our Lord will also bestow blessings upon you. Once you have refined all these blessings, your strength will be enhanced,” Father Luke said with a kind smile.
In fact, the proportion of the blessings was all determined by Ling Xiao himself. Because the old man was his grandfather, Ling Xiao did not intend to take the faith power he generated (generally, Ling Xiao would only return 10% of the faith power), but planned to return it all after processing. As for the blessings brought by developing believers, Ling Xiao planned to give them at a rate of one-thousandth of the faith power generated by the believers. Although it seemed like a small amount, if enough believers were developed, it would still be a considerable income.
"Oh, by the way, this is the highest soul power level corresponding to the faith level stipulated by our Lord. Check it yourself." After saying that, Father Luke copied the content that Ling Xiao had just transmitted to him through the divine spark and instilled it into the old man's mind.
The old man looked at the highest soul power corresponding to the faith level: Shallow Believer (level 29), True Believer (level 49), Deep Believer (level 79), Fanatical Believer (level 95), and Holy Believer (the most favored believer of the gods, whose highest level is determined by the level of the soul).
The old man glanced at it and then asked, "Father Luke, what level can I currently advance to?"
