Chapter 655: Chapter 5: Faith World (10K grand chapter!)_2
The Eighth Realm was treated as an expendable resource, but Wang Sheng was not yet that extravagant.
“However, the reason Daojun needs such a high cost is because he himself is restricted by the Chaotic Realm, I might not need that much trouble, the Eighth Realm can be omitted, but believers are still a must…”
Believers, Wang Sheng also had them, and not just a few.
When the ability to summon wind and call for rain was first researched, he had resolved droughts over a large area.
Those saved by his life-saving grace, even if they did not know him, nonetheless erected longevity tablets, and to this day, there should be quite a few who provide offerings.
In addition, as the strongest in Source Star, there were also many who believed in him, but this portion of people believed in his strength, their faith not as sincere.
Then there were those who believed in him because of the turmoil of the past decade, and their faith was also not low.
Of course, regardless of the type of faith, they had all provided him with a substantial amount of “Incense Fire Faith,” but Wang Sheng had not used it, aside from a portion directed against the Eighth Realm warriors of the Chaotic Realm, the rest had always been sealed.
“Incense Fire Faith is not much use to me for now, but believers might be worth experimenting with power incarnation… though it needs some changing.”
He had believers to experiment easily with, but Daojun’s method harmed heaven and earth, so he wouldn’t let a person who believed in his Source Star persona die just for an experiment, hence the need for changes.
The changes didn’t take him too much time, and he completed them within a month.
“After all, it’s because of the deep connection with the believers that I was able to make these changes so easily. Now I can try out the descent of power.”
Wang Sheng found a believer.
Datong Central State, Dream Prefecture.
There was a legend spreading about the gate, that once upon a time Dream Prefecture was barren for thousands of miles, but then one day the Rain God descended, bringing timely rain and saving countless people of Dream Prefecture.
Later when the area was re-planned, Dream Prefecture was not abolished but rather had many people move in.
The only distinction now is whether the original inhabitants of Dream Prefecture or the later residents have a “Rain God” enshrined in their homes.
Others disdained it, but the native inhabitants enshrined the Rain God, and it was even recorded in their family registers.
For nearly a hundred years, even if Dream Prefecture never lacked water again, this faith had basically taken deep root in people’s hearts.
“Upper God above, my child follows the trade caravan, I hope for his safety…”
Almost every day, people offered incense, and there were few believers who shared their wishes; even if there were any, they were for safety.
The faith was strong, so that’s why Wang Sheng chose a believer from Dream Prefecture.
Entering a focused state, Wang Sheng found a line extending in the invisible Void, directly connecting to the believer praying for safety.
“Incense connects, sacred descent from heaven…”
Chanting a formula, a part of his power followed the thread of faith, flowing out instantly, and it wasn’t long before it entered the body of the believer.
The believer immediately felt refreshed, all hidden ailments within his body swept away as if he’d received a divine blessing.
“What is this…”
Such a big change in his body was naturally noticeable to the believer, and he didn’t understand why this had happened, but there was a vague feeling that made him look towards the Divine Statue on the high platform.
In an instant of thought, he recognized the truth.
“This is a blessing from the Upper God!”
Power entered his body, revitalizing him, while Wang Sheng felt something entirely different.
“I can easily control him, use him to descend more power, but it seems he can’t withstand it.”
The believer was just an ordinary person, unable to endure a vast amount of power unless gradually transformed, but Wang Sheng hadn’t forgotten his ultimate purpose.
He could’ve opened the cross-realm passage by the time he’d have spent modifying.
“So that’s why a massive number of believers are needed?”
Wang Sheng continued testing, bringing power to more of Dream Prefecture’s believers.
“The power that descends is more, but it’s impossible to link them together, no wonder Daojun required all believers to die, he was liberating their power for reassembly.”
He had found the key issue.
“As long as this problem is solved, I can descend more power…”
Wang Sheng began his own trials.
The experiment was actually quite simple, using all his methods one by one to see what suitable technique there was to gather these powers together.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t discovered any suitable ability.
Wang Sheng was not in a hurry, he continued to search slowly.
Time flowed, and the year 75 of the New Era arrived.
Almost a year had passed, and Wang Sheng had been searching for the right method.
However, good things happened as well.
The Virtual World, due to high-intensity use, advanced once again.
“Virtual World (Infinite): 1%”
The term “infinite” was added to the Virtual World.
Not only was the level of virtualization higher, with more laws able to be simulated, but it also presented one most important feature.
Infinite expansion!
Infinity deserved its name, implying no boundaries, an unreachable end.
Upon advancing, the Virtual World gained a brand-new ability.
In theory, by absorbing spiritual energy, it could infinitely expand, even covering the entire boundless starry sky.
Don’t underestimate this ability; originally, the avatars were cut from the main body, which contained the World Origin of the Virtual World.
The size of the main body affected the size of the avatars.
And the growth in the main body’s size could only be achieved through the increase in cultivation and had no second method.
With infinite growth possible, no matter how many worlds he found, he could rapidly utilize them. It wasn’t comparable to before the advancement.
At the same time, the distinction between main body and avatars became clearer.
