Chapter 540: The Power of Three Beliefs

The huge bubble in the core of the dream world is actually the "power of faith" contributed by the believers who Jiang Yan 'flickered' out in the name of the "Lord of Dreams".

At first, the appearance of these "power of faith" was only accidental, because some people who had received Jiang Yan's help and were grateful to him spontaneously regarded him as the goal of their faith, thus providing Jiang Yan with the initial "power of faith".

At first, because the number of believers was scarce, and the number of believers was even more rare, these "power of faith" were not of much help to Jiang Yan, but the particularity of this energy made Jiang Yan pay attention to it.

The "Power of Faith" is the most critical source of power for the existence of "gods" that come to Shinto through faith, incense, etc., and as long as you know how to use it, this thing has the same incredible wide applicability as the "World Force".

However, the "power of faith" is not something that can be easily used by anyone, and it can be said to be a double-edged sword, and if you rely too much on it, you will also be constrained by it. Generally speaking, only "gods" who have stepped into Shinto and must rely on incense beliefs to survive and become stronger will use it as their fundamental strength.

This is because this power is closely related to the 'believer', and to some extent it is a kind of external force.

Although Jiang Yan doesn't like to take the path of incense to become a god, he is not absolutely exclusive to the "power of faith", and he doesn't mind using it if necessary.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the disadvantages of the "power of faith". The thing itself also has a clear quality grading, corresponding to the level of the believer's qualifications.

"False believers" - they will pray to "God" only when they are in need, they will not be sincere to "God" mentality, and they will not take the initiative to contribute to "God" if they do not see benefits. This level of believers can be found everywhere, and their faith is easily shaken, and they may even believe that they are not 'loyal', and they are dispensable and discarded low-level resources for "God".

Although this kind of pseudo-believer can provide "God" with "power of faith", the quality of "power of faith" is very low-level, and it can be called "inferior power of faith", which is mixed with a large proportion of useless thoughts that can be called impurities, in fact, it is slightly better than the spiritual energy of ordinary people. If the "gods" want to absorb and use it, they also need to go through special purification methods, otherwise they may be polluted by this "inferior power of faith"!

"True believers" - their belief in "God" is relatively devout and firm, and their faith is generally not easily shaken by external factors. This kind of true believer, even if the "God" does not give favor for a long time, they will still insist on praying for the "God" with a certain expectation, and may even take the initiative to make offerings within their ability. As long as the "god" can operate normally, the "true believer" will generally not betray the faith, and will generally only focus on believing in one "god" or the "god" of the same camp, rather than being a mother like a "false believer".

The "power of faith" provided by the "true believers" for the "gods" can be regarded as normal quality, and for the "gods", this is the daily consumption of the "gods" when they use their normal supernatural powers, which is equivalent to the ordinary heaven and earth vitality in the eyes of the Xianxia monks in the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

Whether it is the "power of inferior faith" or the normal "power of faith", after the "god" has undergone a careful refining process, it can also be used to directly improve the cultivation of the "god". However, there is a lot of difficulty in this kind of refining! Normal "power of faith" is good to say, for "gods" refining it will be laborious but can also have some gains, but "inferior power of faith" is relatively pitiful, and the difficulty of refining is completely thankless and half the effort for "gods"!

Moreover, whether it is the normal "power of faith" or the "power of inferior faith", if it is used to refine and cultivate, it will have a certain negative impact on the "god", but the degree of negative impact is different.

This is because the "power of faith" of these two qualities will carry with it some 'impurities' that are difficult to purify completely. There are many sources of this 'impurity', and most of them are the distractions of the believer's mind formed by the demands and desires of the "gods" for the "gods", which are not only difficult to remove, but also if the "gods" who have absorbed the "power of faith" mixed with these impurities cannot respond to the demands and desires contained therein, they will even suffer from it.

Only the "power of devout faith" that the "fanatical believers" contribute to the "gods" is the energy generated by the "gods" who are almost unmixed with superfluous distractions, truly do not ask for anything in return, and are devout only for the sake of giving to them. This kind of "power of pious faith" is the best food of pure quality for "gods", it can be directly digested with almost no difficulty in refining, and it has almost no negative effects, and the cost performance is far more than that of ordinary "power of faith".

But it is a pity that "fanatical believers" are not as easy to be born as the "false believers" and "true believers" in the past, and this kind of believer's belief in "God" has been firmly established to an almost unshakable degree, and truly regards the "God" they believe in as their spiritual pillars, even if the "God" orders them to die for no reason and unconditionally, they will laugh and be willing to make sacrifices without asking for anything in return, almost like madmen!

Moreover, "fanatical believers" cannot be artificially created by extreme means such as 'forced brainwashing', because the hearts of the "fanatical believers" born in this way are equivalent to being transformed, and they will inevitably be infected with impurities, and it will be difficult to maintain the "power of faith" generated.

For example, Jiang Yan's brains that have undergone the digital transformation of supernatural abilities have irreversibly mutated their souls, even if such brains can take the initiative to sacrifice themselves for Jiang Yan without hesitation, they cannot be used as a resource for the production of "power of faith".

Although the intellectuals are not good, but people with normal souls are fine, and now, the creation of a religion with him as the object of worship that Jiang Yan approved on a whim has begun to have considerable gains.

The large amount of faith power stored in the bubble at the core of this dream world in front of him was a batch of very delicious fruits that were about to be harvested by him.

After accidentally discovering that some believers were spontaneously born in his own subsidiary, Jiang Yan tried the benefits of the "power of faith" for himself.

To some extent, the "Power of Faith" can be regarded as an ultra-low-profile version of the "World Force", and if used well, it can exert the same effect as a panacea.

Normally, without the means of God, the value of the power of faith cannot be realized. The more orthodox method is to achieve the correct use of the "power of faith" by means unique to Shinto, such as 'Godhead', 'Godhead', and 'Priesthood'. And these are basically the only powerful beings who follow the path of incense and faith, and they naturally have the authority to effectively use the "power of faith".

Depending on the authority, it can be as small as calling for wind and rain and changing the heavens, and as large as resurrecting the dead and creating life, which is the so-called 'miracle'.

Jiang Yan had never dabbled in Shinto, which relied on incense to believe, and he had no experience in how to use the "power of faith", even if it was the Red Jade Building, he had only collected a little inconsequential information description, so he could only explore the use of the "power of faith" by himself.

The simplest way to directly refine into cultivation, so as to rely on incense to become a god in one step, was first given up by him, the limitations of this path are too great, in Jiang Yan's view, this path is equivalent to forming an interdependent relationship with believers, and no one can continue without it.

Moreover, with the weight of the power of faith accumulated by the number of believers that Jiang Yan has just developed now, it is actually far from enough for him to directly become a god in one step, and it also lacks the key Shinto foundation such as 'Godhead'.

There are three ways to get that thing, one is to ask the heavens for their fate or ask the existing Shinto bosses, and the world itself will directly seal them, or the Shinto bosses will divide them, but even if they become gods, they will lose their freedom, and they will be subject to the gods who give them their divine positions in the future;

The second method is similar to the first, but it relies on great merit and great achievements to trade with the world itself in the form of 'equivalent exchange', and obtain authorization from the world to ascend to the throne of the gods.

The third way is to create on your own. It is equivalent to directly contemplating the mystery of the truth of the law, which is ridiculously difficult.

And even if you succeed, doing so is likely to attract the hostility of the world itself, because the Shinto position obtained in this way is no different from forcibly stealing power from the world. It's okay to say that if it's the kind of world where the will of the world (providence) is not obvious, but if you meet someone with the will of the world who is more active, it is likely that the top of your head will be directly condemned to kill you.

Anyway, Jiang Yan himself is not sure about comprehending the law and condensing the godhead to create the god position alone, and he doesn't want to be a worker under the world.

Fortunately, after several experiments, Jiang Yan also explored a little superficial application of the "power of faith" in a non-Shinto body.

First of all, the "power of pious faith" provided by a small number of "fanatical believers", for this, there is no need to have too many scruples, Jiang Yan tried it and found that he could directly use it as a ration, and absorb it with "spirit eating", "gluttony" and the like, which has a good repair effect on his true spirit injuries, because the quality of energy is very pure, and it is also possible to directly improve cultivation, and there are basically no side effects.

Then there is the second-level ordinary "power of faith", which is not easy to absorb directly, Jiang Yan has tried to refine it with devouring software, but the benefits obtained can only be used to quickly replenish consumption. It's okay to use consumable tonics, but if you don't want to destroy your future foundation, it's best not to use it to increase your cultivation and repair your true spirit injuries.

However, the ordinary "power of faith" is also of great benefit to Jiang Yan, because using its energy as a recovery medicine, even with Jiang Yan's 'taste', which is becoming more and more picky because of his ability, is also very effective, and it is obviously more efficient than the supply of spiritual power of the child machine and the absorption of external spirits. To give an inappropriate example, Jiang Yan used to need 100 copies of spiritual power or spiritual power to make up for the consumption, but now he only needs 10 ordinary "faith power" to achieve the same effect.

What's even more interesting is that this ordinary "power of faith" can also be used as a "price" consumable when Jiang Yan and the Inheritance Wisdom Brain install the data software of their abilities!

And there's a wide range of compensatory!

Even if it is a precious price such as 'lifespan', ordinary "power of faith" can compensate for it! It's just that the difference in the exchange ratio between the two will be very large......

This effect is very helpful to Jiang Yan's ability operation, because even if Jiang Yan has created the "Dream World" to collect it from countless human customers, it is difficult to collect a large amount of harmless "spiritual power", "spiritual power", "essence" and other "costs" that will not cause permanent damage.

After all, most people wouldn't want to pay for their 'lifespan' as a bargaining chip, right?

However, the installation of data software for Jiang Yan's abilities, the "price" of some advanced software often involves precious things such as 'lifespan', so this kind of "price" resources are scarce and expensive.

Now, the vast versatility of the "power of faith", which can compensate even for the consumption of life, has solved this problem. As long as enough "power of faith" is accumulated, even if it is not a pious level, it is only an ordinary-level "power of faith", which is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough in the operability of Jiang Yan and the data ability of the inheritance of the wisdom brain.

The first batch of "true believers" who have developed provide the "power of faith", and then Jiang Yan and the inheritance wisdom brain use these "power of faith" as resources, using the magical convenience of data abilities to impersonate the great power of the gods to spread favors to people, so as to gain the recognition and gratitude of the people, and win them to develop into new believers.

As the number of True Believers increases, more Faith Power can be produced, which can then be used as a "price" expendable for the data ability to develop new believers...... In this way, it is the same as rolling profits!

This is the basis for the rapid development of the number of believers in Jiang Yan's "Dream Church" to a certain scale.

As for the worst of the "Inferior Faith Forces...... This made Jiang Yan a little disgusted.

In terms of energy level, this thing is even higher than the level of 'sub-machine spiritual power', but because the quality is not pure, it can be said to be 'self-contained spiritual pollution', although Jiang Yan can use software abilities such as "Soul Eater" and "Gluttony" to digest it as rations, but the taste is actually not good, anyway, for him, after 'eating' the normal "power of faith", this inferior product is a little 'difficult to swallow'.

But fortunately, the intellectuals are not 'picky eaters' about this, and their souls have become different from normal creatures because of data, and they almost no longer have a sense of hope, and the only thing left is absolute calm rationality, in a sense, the alienation is more complete than Jiang Yan, who is the head of an alien energy.

Such intelligent brains are not afraid of the spiritual pollution caused by those emotional distractions mixed with the "power of inferior faith", but can be regarded as a more high-quality ration than the "spiritual power of the child". I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
