Chapter 146: Popularity
"The great King of the West, the King of kings, the merciful Lord of Middle-earth, the Great Kalimdor, with only my humblest soul, offering the truest loyalty, beseeches you to protect me, my family, my children..."
A free gathering place of the human world, in the center of the market, a huge stone sculpture stands on the square, carved is a lifelike handsome man, majestic, domineering exposed, people can't help but respect when they see it, want to bow down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The owner of the statue is certainly a heroic figure, but the craftsman who carved the stone statue also has a very deep foundation to leave such a deep impression.
What is even more amazing is that such a statue is not the only one, but appeared in the squares of Kalimdor overnight ten days ago, which can be described as a miracle.
Using faith and personality worship to confuse sentient beings and win people's hearts, Ling Qi has done similar things a long time ago, and he is familiar with this set.
However, compared to the ethereal and ethereal human hearts that were cared about in the past, could change at any time, and had countless ways to change, what Ling Qi condensed and wanted to gain this time was no longer those false things!
He wants to rely on this means to gather popularity, and he wants to rely on the condensed popularity to form force fields similar to small-scale enchantments, to walk the power of the territory!
The power of the territory has become his strongest hole card, and there is no one.
It's a pity that from the beginning of its formation, in addition to studying it and trying to use it better, it naturally has many limitations, such as upper limits, such as boundaries.
It has been more than 50 days since Kalimdor was founded, but the pace of the kingdom's external expansion has been quite slow from the beginning, especially after the official declaration of Kalimdor's independence.
Of course, the current development speed of the kingdom is also very fast compared to normal standards, after all, ordinary countries expand their territories in a few years or ten years, and they must have ten times the time of governance and precipitation before they can support expansion.
It's just that it is far from Ling Qi's requirements, he is not an ordinary overlord, and he does not want an empire that has been inherited for thousands of years! What's more, the current situation in Middle-earth is changing day by day, and if development is slow, it is equivalent to falling behind.
To the east of the Misty Mountains, north of Roslorian, and east of the dark forest, a large area of fertile land has long been completely reduced to the demonic land where evil forces grow, and the mysterious strong man Badelt on the lonely mountain who hurriedly showed people has been hailed as the most powerful demon king in the north, named the king of the fire demons, some people say that it is the commander of the ancient fire demons, and is regarded as a strong man on the same level as Sauron, and the territory under his command exceeds that of Kalim many times.
To the south of Roslorian, to the north of Gondor and Rohan, was completely reduced to a sea of orcs. The main birthplace of these orcs is Dolgoto, and some people suspect that Sauron, who is not very powerful after this comeback, lurks in it and secretly guides them. If it weren't for the Northern Fire Demon King's momentum, it should have been a veritable king of evil. And the territory it actually controls now is definitely not much smaller than Kalim, which is still limited by natural geographical problems.
As for the coastal area south of Gondor, including the area around the original Mordor, it was divided into three pieces by pirates, Haraddians, and a large number of orcs, led by the pirate king of Ambar, Good, the mammoth lord of the Harads, Nerry Jones, and several of Sauron's Ringrings!
There are also some other evil races and groups that encroach and encroach in the surrounding areas, and large and small evil demons emerge in an endless stream, it can be said that the speed of the rise of the evil side is far faster than that of Kalimdo, if it is added up, not counting the power of the territory, it is enough to crush Kalimdo ten times!
Compared with other human lords and nobles who only have the power to shrink, the only king of the West who has risen this time is already a miracle in terms of the overall situation of the human race, but the conventional power he really controls is at most comparable to the pirate king and the mammoth king in the south of Gondor, and even Dolgodo can't beat it.
This is not to blame Ling Qi, after all, his foundation is shallow, and there is almost no shadow of his predecessors, and that is indispensable in the process of winning the championship in the traditional competition.
Kalimdo's development is completely limited by the power of the territory, and the stronger and wider the power of the territory, the faster the momentum of Lingqi's development. Similarly, the stronger and wider the power of the territory, the more confident the Ling Qi will be, and the greater the increase in the strength obtained in the territory!
The king of the West, who seems to be able to compete with the fire demon monarch in the north, is essentially relying on the power of the territory to hold on.
As long as the power of the territory can expand again, his territory and power will surely skyrocket. If the power of the territory shrinks, then his vast empire will have to learn from Gondor and Rohan to shrink and hold on. In fact, without the intervention of the unexpected factor of territorial power, Ling Qi never thought that he would be able to create such a situation, he just wanted to be a lonely ranger to reap the benefits of the war, devour his soul and strengthen himself.
Territorial power is a big hole card and a big problem.
And not long after issuing a summoning order to the newcomers of the reincarnation, Ling Qi finally found a way to expand the power of the territory, which was just an accident, another lucky accident.
This made him determined to stay and fight Amen Zhou to the end, although he had already made a decision!
The reincarnation space is a place full of opportunities, provided that the strength is sufficient. And being able to become the second batch of selected candidates is a unique opportunity.
Ling Qi's numbered ranking among the reincarnators has always been hovering at the upper level, but it is not solid.
Unlike those who are bent on seeking stability, even if they endure thousands of years of dormancy to seek a shocking night, Ling Qi's heart is always full of ambition and fantasies, always staring at the top ten positions and strong people, and would rather rush for quick success than fall behind half a step behind!
There are not many reincarnation powerhouses he has come into contact with, and the real powerhouses among them, whether it is the psychic boy who is integrated with the corpse soul realm, or the pseudo-god of war in the God of War Temple, probably have the strength to fight and deal with Amen Zhou on their own, and that is still their strength before the start of this reincarnation!
And what about him? Even though he has countless opportunities, now he relies on the power of the territory to incarnate into a fire demon, which is probably the same as when he manipulated the clone before, and at most he relies on the transformation of the molten demon to slightly overwhelm him.
It's not enough, it's not enough!
If the benefits are not enough, then continue to come, and if Amen Zhou comes, then continue to fight!
Therefore, the power of the territory must be expanded, and those that have value must be used. Ling Qi is not a person who blindly rejects external forces, not to mention that there are some things, can they really be regarded as external forces?
Expanding the scope of the power of the territory and strengthening the foundation of the power of the territory, in addition to further activating the unknown part of himself, he has found another way, which is to gather his popularity, so that it can be disguised as some other nodes similar to "himself", and then achieve the effect of dissemination!
When he went to the Moria Mine, he found that even if he left the area of territorial power, he himself fused with a part of the "territorial power", but it was difficult to radiate it, but it did carry some "territorial power".
This can't increase most of his strength, including the power of Yuan Magnetism, and it can't use the power of Enchantment, but it can increase his charm talent, which is also one of the reasons why his talent ability has greatly increased, not only because he has entered the legendary stage, this is something that he has only recently determined after many attempts!
The so-called popularity, of course, is Ling Qi's name for this force, but in fact he doesn't know what it is.
Popularity had been mistaken for the power of faith, which provided an extra layer of protection for his soul, and he had collected it and used it in a superficial way.
Ling Qi also found that it is much easier to gain popularity than to gain faith, there is no need for crazy and sincere worship, as long as ordinary people have dependence and expectations for him, they can provide popularity, and even just mention his name, which is cheaper than the power of faith, but it is just as mysterious.
The relationship between popularity and the power of the territory, Ling Qi did not understand, just as he did not understand the relationship between himself and the power of the territory.
However, more than ten days ago, he unexpectedly discovered that a mass of "popularity" belonging to him was clearly able to accommodate a small amount of territorial power, leaving the original coverage area, still existing independently, and even relying on this as a basis to "communicate" with each other.
And unlike the territorial power that he accommodates himself, after the "popularity" group explodes, it can allow the territorial power to permeate the surroundings for a short time, expanding the coverage of the territorial power in disguise, until the popularity dissipates!
Popularity, self, and territorial power, there are countless mysteries hidden in this, but unfortunately the level of Ling Qi is too low to be seen.
According to his own understanding, Ling Qi could only divide the power of heaven and earth needed to "perfect" and "strengthen" the power of the territory into three parts, the power of heaven, the power of earth, and the power of man! This explains why popularity can carry the power of territory!
The power of the territory is difficult to expand, but with the development of the territory, in the past days, it has indeed been self-improving, and at the same time devouring the power of the plane's origin.
The power of heaven and earth, that is, the power of the origin of the plane, is a name that Ling Qi can easily understand. What is the origin, it is too ethereal, the power of heaven and earth, it is much easier to understand, that is nature, it is the Tao!
The power of heaven is unpredictable, and it is also the most ethereal when it is connected to the way of heaven recently, and its external starlight, sun, moon, wind and rain, thunder and lightning are probably part of the power of heaven, and it is also the best nourishment for the power of the territory. It's a pity that Ling Qi can't even borrow a little bit of heavenly power, and he can feel the power of the stars shining in the sky above the territory, but he doesn't know how to use it.
The power of the earth is heavy, bearing the sky and carrying things, and it is extremely inclusive.
The power of molten fire, which he excelled at after incarnating as a fire demon, was a type of earth power. And the craziest thing that the power of the territory is currently drawing is the heavy power of the earth.
When he is in the territory and steps on the earth, in addition to the power of the Yuan Magnet, the power of the Fire Demon Incarnation will also increase significantly!
The last is the power of man, man is located between heaven and earth, standing on the top of the sky, from the perspective of eternal time, life and twilight, but there is a reincarnation, walking under the white clouds and black soil again and again.
Every word and deed of a person is power, and every breath and breath is also power, and people are the most wonderful and ordinary.
Man is part of the majority plane, and without the human plane there is no vitality, imperfect and imperfect, and man in a broad sense of the word certainly includes most spiritual beings, not just humans.
The power of people is infinitely useful, gathering people is manpower, and change is manpower.
The normal life of people can provide nourishment for the power of the territory!
Of course, compared with the power of heaven and earth, the power of man is the lowest, and it should not be as vast as the power of heaven and earth.
Ling Qi can, of course his popularity can, because Ling Qi's essence is also a mortal who is far inferior to heaven and earth!
This is the greatest limitation of territorial power, but it is also the most appropriate direction of development at present.
It is precisely in this consciousness that Ling Qi, who is temporarily unable to interfere with the weather and local atmosphere, can only rely on popularity to strengthen and spread the power of the territory!
The statues are like nodes, absorbing and gathering the power of people, so that the power of the same origin of the territory can be transmitted to the past, and the spider webs are densely covered in places that were originally out of reach, only to explode at the critical time.
It's like digging a ditch to divert water and watering the earth.
In essence, the power of the territory has not actually become stronger because of this, but has been weakened, but this is indeed the most suitable for his strengthening!
(PS: The evolution of the protagonist is very complicated, probably something that has never been seen in the current novel, so it is relatively obscure to write, after all, even I only have a draft and no reference.) In fact, I always find it very troublesome to explain, because it is too mysterious, so I can only describe it little by little, from shallow to deep. The protagonist ultimately wants to transcend the realm of "Dao", and it is extremely difficult to make the Tao Tao, let alone on the Dao? So I hope you can read it patiently, I only have to write with my heart, and start and finish well. )
