Chapter 399: Conversion
The reaction of the spirit aggregate made Bai Yuqi laugh.
Because he was born for a short time, even if he had a preliminary self-awareness, his consciousness was still at a very young stage.
In other words, His actions are very direct and instinctive, he goes up to see when he is curious, asks for what he needs, gets angry when he is angry, and is beaten...... Naturally, they are afraid.
With the sincere connivance of a group of believers who did not understand what kind of existence He had, He did whatever He wanted like a spoiled bear child.
It was precisely because of this unscrupulous personality that after he noticed Bai Yuqi's existence, out of curiosity about an existence that was somewhat similar to himself, he didn't even hesitate, and came over in a hurry, and was almost whipped and collapsed by Bai Yuqi's [spiritual whipping].
Spiritual aggregates do not die though.
As long as the belief system does not collapse, it will soon be broken up and re-established.
But the self-awareness and consciousness born of the newly condensed spiritual aggregate have nothing to do with the spiritual aggregate before the collapse.
Through the connection with the individuals of faith that make up the self, the spirit aggregate is actually able to perceive the existence of other spirit aggregates.
However, they can only sense the outside world through the individual believer, and due to the limitation of the scope of the source of the belief, they can only sense the area where the individual believer is located.
The farther a believer is from the source of faith, the weaker his perception is.
Similarly, the more dispersed the individual believers, the more ambiguous the perception becomes.
They who have just been born of self-knowledge and consciousness are curious about everything in the outside world.
The desire to be exposed to more external inquiries to satisfy their intellectual curiosity is also the key to their growth into omniscient beings.
There is no contradiction in the spiritual aggregate itself, at least until they realize that the number of individual believers and the size of the source of faith have an impact on their own strength or weakness.
But unfortunately, although there is no contradiction and hatred between the spiritual aggregates, there is a conflict of interest between their faith groups, which leads to the belief groups often seeking their own interests under the guise of these spiritual energy aggregates.
At the same time, this behavior of the belief group often brings the benefits of increasing the source of faith to the spiritual aggregate, thus forming a mutually beneficial exchange of interests, the spiritual aggregate gives the individual believer its own strength, and the individual believer returns to the spiritual aggregate with faith contribution.
And so the war of faith in all its forms began!
The war between the major powers of the Western ethnic group is at this stage.
Although these spiritual aggregates may not understand what their own faith community is doing this for.
But they can feel the benefits of doing so, and instinctively push and indulge in it.
The spiritual aggregate of the Great Food Sect is that through his own belief as an individual, he has sensed the existence of other spiritual aggregates, and realized that the other party is not as strong as himself, so he acts so unscrupulously.
Unfortunately, I encountered the existence of Bai Yuqi, a "true god", and was miserably educated by the love of "bear children are disobedient, just beat them".
After suffering a loss and growing wise, he still dared to respond to the prayers of his own faith individual, and after sensing that the belief individual had provoked the existence that almost killed him, it is estimated that the heart that killed this faith individual was there.
After being caught, he prayed for a long time, but the bearded officer who did not feel the response of "God" to him almost lost his despair as before, and thought that the god he believed in had abandoned him, and he collapsed on the ground with a look of despair, muttering to himself with godless eyes.
Bai Yuqi did not choose to punish them for his offense, but also "baptized" them without thinking.
The combination of [Healing] + [Deep Cleansing] + [Calming the Mind] made them wash their bodies and minds, as if they had opened the door to a new world, and looked at Bai Yuqi stunned.
They had just been abandoned by the god they believed in, and suddenly felt the acceptance of another "god" regardless of their previous suspicions, and while being moved and hesitating, they would inevitably have a shift in faith.
Bai Yuqi smiled at this, if it is said that those wounded soldiers who were healed by him became his "devout believers" because they gained hope of survival and new life.
These individuals of faith who have just been betrayed by the god they believe in and who have felt the favor of another "god" will not be hostile and repulsive towards him, even if they will not immediately become his followers.
Once you have passed this period and experienced the benefits of "believing" in him, you will have a high chance of converting to become a "shallow believer" or "pan-believer" of him.
For Bai Yuqi, as long as he does not reject his existence, it is enough, and he does not believe in him as a "true god" who can walk in the world, and he can't rob believers of an ethereal consciousness aggregate that has no physical and concrete image existence.
The same set of food, clothing, and drinking water was also fought, and distributed to these people without discrimination, Bai Yuqi smiled gently at them, and walked in the direction of the other barracks with a wooden staff.
He didn't actually say a word the whole time, neither revealed his "identity" nor persuaded the other party to believe in him, but the mysterious power he possessed had conquered the other person's heart.
You can disbelieve me, but you can't disrespect me, even if you are a believer in a certain god, this is the rules of belief that Bai Yuqi showed to these Western natives.
While walking in the direction of the other barracks, Bai Yuqi observed the thousands of people following behind him like a herd of docile sheep, and nodded with satisfaction.
The plan to rob the faith seems to have been carried out very successfully.
Not only his own deity, but also the incarnation of the white vortex that he split out from is also busy "preaching" in different regions.
With a mysterious skill by their side, the work of "opening up the market" is going quite smoothly, and it won't be long before the White Vortex avatar will be able to bring the newly developed believers to join them.
Thankfully, most of the civilian soldiers recruited by the Great Food Cult were nomadic members of the desert, often in the form of families, settlements, and tribes.
Although the army of the Great Food Country is huge, it is basically composed of such a small settlement group, which gives Bai Yuqi the opportunity to gradually eat away at them, relying on the simple means of treatment and food, and quickly gathered a large number of "followers" around him.
