Chapter 658: Chapter 5: Faith World (10K Word Chapter!)_5
It took some time, but he eventually crushed more than a dozen Incense Fire Pearls, using nearly half of the “Incense Fire Faith.”
Meanwhile, the Virtual World had undergone tremendous changes.
First was its size; it had expanded significantly.
Then there was the scenery inside.
The divided Virtual World, like a miniature version of the two largest incarnations, contained mountains and rivers.
But now, it seemed to have reverted to the original state of the Spirit World, a pure white expanse, except there was no flow of any energy.
The Virtual World appeared to be tainted, its very nature having changed, with the pure white Virtual World proving more solid than that constructed with spiritual power.
Within it radiated a divine luminescence, as if it were the Divine Country high above.
But this was not why Wang Sheng stopped; the real reason was that he felt—within the pure white Spirit World, there were strands of faith.
On one end, the Lines of Faith disappeared into the pure white Virtual World, and on the other, they appeared on a person. Wang Sheng could see that the people these Lines of Faith connected to were his Believers.
“This connection… it’s just like the one I have with my Believers… and it seems I can even control it…”
Suddenly, the light in Wang Sheng’s eyes flickered, and an idea surfaced in his mind.
“If this could work, it might achieve the intended purpose.”
He did not hesitate. Channeling a portion of his strength along the Lines of Faith between himself and his Believers, he descended upon them.
This was something he could do initially using the Daojun’s method, but up to this point, it had reached a deadlock.
However, the changes in the Virtual World presented new possibilities.
After the power descended upon the Believers, he controlled the Lines of Faith that connected the Believers to the pure white Virtual World and then—
He withdrew the power he had just descended!
In that instant, as the power began to be retracted, the strength that had originally descended upon the Believers was pulled into the pure white Virtual World.
In the pure white Virtual World, devoid of any energy flow, change occurred.
A thread of power emerged within it.
But it was far from over!
“Next, it’s time for more power.”
Countless Believers had strength descend upon them, and before they could even react, the power left, all converging into the pure white Virtual World.
Once inside the pure white Virtual World, the initially separate threads of power began to merge, quickly forming a considerably massive force.
“It’s probably equivalent to the Third Realm.”
Since both the pure white Virtual World and the power originated from him, he naturally had a clear understanding of the information.
“Next comes the really final step, letting these gathered forces reappear in reality.”
This step was crucial. If it did not succeed, all the previous steps, no matter how successful, would be in vain. But just as miscellaneous thoughts could be expelled from the Virtual World, so could this weak power, as trivial as the Third Realm, pose no problem.
Wang Sheng was already familiar with this process.
In almost the blink of an eye, the power appeared in reality, transformed by Wang Sheng into an incarnation of the Third Realm, and then he waved it away.
“A flawless process!” A smile spread across his face, “Although the power of the ‘Incense Fire Faith’ is not very effective for expanding the Virtual World, its effect on transforming the Virtual World indirectly serves the intended purpose, even achieving two goals with a single action.”
Wang Sheng faced two problems.
One was the matter of entering Heavenly Saint Star; to enter, his avatar of the Eighth Realm at least had to descend, and he originally had to wait several more years until the cross-world gateway was fully open to pass through as the Eighth Realm.
The other problem was that the Virtual World’s harvesting of dissipating spiritual power and Life Essence Qi could only maintain equilibrium, with no surplus for expanding the Virtual World. Originally, the only solutions were to use other spiritual domain energy instead or to have more worlds descend into the Virtual World.
Theoretically, solving the first problem would solve the second.
And now, due to the “Incense Fire Faith’s” alteration of the Virtual World, there was a possibility for theory to become reality.
“Now, it’s time to try whether it’s possible to manipulate across worlds!”
This was also one of the key points.
If cross-world manipulation proved successful, perhaps he could soon enter the Heavenly Saint Star.
And it was the same for other worlds.
“It was difficult to do previously, but the growth potential of the Virtual World provides limitless possibilities.”
The size of the Virtual World also entails different Energy Levels.
If it’s too vast, it cannot pass through the cross-world gateway, after all, there are restrictions.
But with the potential for growth, even if Wang Sheng sent a minuscule Virtual World, it could grow immensely. Coupled with “Incense Fire Faith,” it would allow his power to descend upon an otherworld.
As for the Believers… not too many are needed. A Daojun’s million Believers plus four at the Eighth Realm could enable the power of the Ninth Realm to descend.
He did not have the expenditure of the Eighth Realm; he only needed a million Believers’ power to descend as the Eighth Realm, even without the cooperation of a Planet Will.
If the Planet Will cooperated, he would need even fewer Believers.
Just descending a bit of power and acquiring a few Believers was far too convenient.
“Forget the rest for now, let’s send a part of the pure white Virtual World over!”
In essence, the pure white Virtual World was still a Virtual World, and could divide itself.
It was inherently hard to detect a Virtual World, but the weaker the Energy Level, the more concealed it was; naturally, he wouldn’t cause trouble for himself.
In a while, he managed to create a small pure white Virtual World.
“Although its essence is still that of a Virtual World, it’s entirely different in function. Since that’s the case, let’s call it the Faith World!”
