Chapter 43: The Power of Faith
The engraving of the soul mark did not take much time for Donald, after all, even Claremont could easily attach his soul mark to the "idol" in the hands of the villagers, and the real difficulty was to know and master the magic seal to establish a connection between the soul mark and the statue.
"Is this the transformation of the power of faith, rough is a little rougher, but it does ...... different"
Sitting in the middle of a grassy slope on the side of the road, Donald looked at the statue in his hand, it had been blessed by the soul imprint, it was obviously more agile than before, if it was only an eight-point image due to the limited material before, now it has nine points, maybe the blessing of the soul imprint has a similar effect to the finishing touch.
In fact, the effect is not only this, the engraving of the soul mark makes Donald have a certain connection with this statue, its existence can be directly felt by Donald, although I don't know how far this perception range is, but before Claremont's perception range can cover a village, Donald thinks that he will not be worse than him.
Walking back to the carriage with the statue, Donald noticed that all three of them, except for Lilo, who had been expressionless, were all looking at him strangely.
"Donald, it turns out that the existence I saw in the hotel before was not an illusion, why is your soul state like that?"
In Stephanie's imagination, a person's soul state should always be his normal appearance, but the state that Donald showed just now was really unexpected.
"I'm a wizard, and I focus on soul power, which of course has to be different from ordinary people...... Don't worry about the details, the key now is that I have to test whether the statue is useful or not. ”
According to the description in the ancient book of demigods, after the statue is made and marked with a soul seal, you can start to store the power of faith, so the question is, how to obtain the power of faith?
When he was in the village before, Donald's mind was on how to get this demigod ancient book from Claremont's hand, and he never thought that he would do the same thing with him one day, so naturally he didn't consult him about this.
"How is this going to be tested...... I remember that Claremont seemed to have given a similar idol to each house, and then left it to the villagers to pray for themselves...... Do you have to find someone to pray, but don't you have to have a prayer word for prayer, do you want to pray your own prayer?"
In all religions, prayer is an essential daily act for believers, before going to bed, in the morning, before meals...... A believer's daily life is inevitably filled with several prayers.
"No, I think Stephanie is a little wrong in his thinking, there should be no Donald name in the prayer, the object of prayer is necessary, but I think this object should not be the same as himself, such as Claremont, who created the name of the god of harvest and hunt for the villagers, and then asked them to pray to this god, but in the end the power of faith gathered was used by him. ”
Anthony said as he reached out to straighten the harness, holding a carrot in his hand to feed the horses in his free time.
"Hey~ Don't you say that I forgot that the villagers believe in the god of harvest and hunting, and what the believers say when they pray must be this god who only exists in their mouths, not Claremont, because Claremont does not dare to blatantly call himself a god by his own name, which will attract the attention of many forces, so why can he achieve his goal...... I see, subjective consciousness!"
Thinking back to the previous situation, Donald walked back and forth beside the carriage, and after a while, he suddenly high-fived him with his fist, and suddenly realized, and then said,
"Think about it, why did Claremont make up a god that didn't exist, and if he wanted to hide his identity, wouldn't it be good to use the gods of other religions? ”
Since it is impossible to imagine, it will be replaced by an approximate existence, for example, why is the image of the gods of the East and the West in Donald's previous life so different?
Because people at that time had never seen those so-called gods with their own eyes, and they needed a spiritual sustenance, they would naturally look for a reference according to their own subjective consciousness.
Claremont put himself in front of the villagers as a reference.
He is the god of harvest and hunting in the folk agent, but also the great sage, the villagers can't imagine the appearance of the god of harvest and hunting, there is a god in front of them, when praying in their minds is naturally Claremont, in their consciousness, Claremont is the god of harvest and faith, so the power of faith will be fully mastered by Claremont.
"Even if that's the case, you have to have a name, otherwise I'm going to try. ”
Stephanie was clearly preparing to test the statue as an experimenter.
"You are the one who knows, why do you need my name, just pray by my name, this is just an attempt, and I don't want to learn from Claremont to become a great sage immediately. ”
Donald just wants to know the nature of the power of faith now, and naturally there are not so many rules to restrict.
"Well, I'll try, great Donald...... No, I can't say it. ”
Stephanie said this after the religious believers she had seen before, and the beginning of the prayer was naturally to point out the place of faith, but Stephanie was too close to Donald, or a lover's relationship, to make her say things like the great Donald Grant...... It didn't matter when she laughed, but she was a little hard to say this kind of serious prayer.
"You can not add a prefix, didn't Donald say everything, the point is not what you say, but whether you really trust Donald, there is no standard prayer in the first place, and believers' prayers to the gods are often anytime and anywhere. ”
Anthony reminded him, and Stephanie nodded again as if she understood something, clasped her hands together, looked at the statue placed on the carriage, and this time said no more.
Pray with your heart.
The surface of the statue, which had been motionless, began to emit wisps of gray mist after a few seconds, not much, and it disappeared very quickly, but it did appear.
Donald was surprised and calmed down at the same time and began to perceive the statue, and sure enough, in his perception, a hair-sized milky white energy appeared inside the statue, which seemed to be tiny, but contained some special energy.
Infused with spiritual power, Donald's mind immediately conjured up a vague face of a person, and without thinking, it must be Stephanie.
"Thank you Donald for helping me during this time......"
At the same time, there was a slight murmur in her ears, which was the content of Stephanie's prayer.
Donald could see and hear the prayers directly through the power of faith, and not only that, but he could clearly feel that he could control the energies, as if he could access them for anything at any time.
In fact, he did, walking back to where he had been sitting, crouching down to watch the dead grass fall from him.
Meow~
Finger crouched down beside Donald and whispered.
"I'll do a magic trick for you, look at it. ”
Touching Finger's head, Donald reached out and stroked a dead grass on the ground, and a milky white energy appeared from his fingertips and flowed into the dead grass.
In the blink of an eye, the withered grass is spring.
A touch of greenery emerges from this withered blade of grass!
Even Donald couldn't help but be a little excited when he looked at the scene in front of him.
The power of faith, the most mysterious in the world, and to some extent the most versatile power, did not expect that one day he would be able to possess and use this energy.
"Is this the so-called omniscience and omnipotence of God......
To be able to see the face of the person who prays, and to hear his prayers to himself, will naturally know what he thinks and asks for, and this is omniscience.
After gaining the power of faith, you can rely on it to accomplish many things that are unimaginable in the eyes of others, and this is omnipotence.
What is God?
Different religions will give different answers.
But in the eyes of the general public, the definition of God is actually very simple.
To be able to accomplish what is impossible for mortals is to be God!
Donald is now a small experience, although it is only a superficial attempt, but he still sees great potential in it.
There is no reason to give up this power!
