Chapter 17: The Believer
After the sacrifice ended, Chen Ming returned to his physical body, and a few days passed without incident, and the aftermath fermented on its own. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In another place, where Chen Ming was distracted, another sacrifice was about to begin.
Since a few days ago when he unleashed his powers in full view of everyone, Bamu has become a hero in the limelight.
After that, after learning that Chen Ming did not need human sacrifice, Bamu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately made up his mind to promote his faith throughout the clan.
He ordered that all the people in the tribe must worship the god of nature in the middle of the village every night, and even made a special idol of the god for the people to worship according to the vague impression obtained from the prayers.
For Bamu, as long as the god to worship does not require the blood sacrifice of his people and is harmless to the tribe, then any conditions can be negotiated. What's more, after experiencing that kind of warm and mighty power, no one is willing to give up lightly unless it is necessary.
Most of the tribes living on the primitive land are realistic and simple, plus the history of this tribe is not long, the scale is not large, and there is no ancestor of a unified faith. Therefore, as long as you can show the supernatural, you can easily gain their piety.
And Chen Ming is also very timely, as long as someone prays on the same day, there will be a supernatural appearance the next day. Whether it is a physical illness or a wound that is slowly healing, or the body is becoming stronger, it is all felt at a speed that can be clearly noticed. Especially on the third day, after the old man of a tribe comprehended the magic and showed his extraordinary power, the fire of faith in this tribe was completely detonated.
In this case, Chen Ming asked Bamu to build an altar in the center of the village to hold sacrifices, which was naturally allowed.
At this time, everyone in the village arrived, and even those who could not participate in the sacrifice, such as women and children, who were originally required by customs, also participated at Chen Ming's request.
In the midst of all his gaze, Bamu walked to the stage and began the sacrifice with an old man.
This old man was the first person in the tribe other than Bamu to comprehend the magic of the gods. After comprehending the divine arts, he was appointed by Bamu as the high priest and was in charge of the tribe's sacrifices.
At this time, he recited the sacrificial words with reverence, and every time he recited a sentence, everyone in the audience followed along, forming a huge echo.
Seeing this, Chen Ming nodded with satisfaction.
In other words, within three days, you can comprehend the power of the gods and obtain divine arts, especially in such a primitive and crude missionary environment, which is even more valuable. This also shows that this person is very compatible with his divine nature, and he is not far from the saints.
"It's a pity. Thinking of this, he sighed slightly.
Of course, saints have high requirements for faith and conformity with the gods, but even more important than this is to understand the ways of the gods.
There is a clear hierarchy of believers in the Godhead.
Those who only hear the name of the gods and occasionally pray, but do not understand and agree with the principles of the gods in their hearts, and even sneer at them, are hypocrites.
Those who understand the divine position and responsibilities of the gods, will pray earnestly but fish for three days and dry their nets for two days, and have not yet deeply identified with the gods in their hearts, are shallow believers.
Those who identify with and understand the principles of the gods, understand the rights and responsibilities of the gods, never slack off in earnest prayers, and have a deep identification with the gods in their hearts, are devout believers. At this level, believers can already die for God, and at this point, except for a few things that violate their own three views, they will not hesitate to do it for their faith.
As for fanatical believers, in addition to meeting the above conditions, except for a very few things that seriously violate their three views, otherwise they will never violate the gods. This is also the most fanatical type of god believers, and even overzealous believers, even if the gods say that his parents and family are evil spirits, let him kill his wife and father, he will not hesitate to do it.
And the last saint is the existence that truly and thoroughly understands the nature of the gods and walks on the same path as the gods. To this extent, there are no rules and boundaries, and the performance is different.
Some of the saints of the same god can look at the pagans and curse their gods, while others behave like fanatics. They are the true eternal companions of the gods, eternal and immortal, with the gods. He is also the only one who breaks the shackles on the path of faith, and is a true treasure of a god.
However, such believers are not to be found. Not to mention the current Chen Ming, even if it is a god who really ignites the divine fire, if he gets a saint, he must celebrate it warmly, and at least a forgiveness of the Holy Spirit is indispensable.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh faintly.
The way of the gods lies in accumulation, and now his accumulation is far from enough.
He sensed it carefully for a while, and among the true spirits, a godhead hung quietly high. He is high and radiates the radiance of divinity, connecting countless threads of faith, thick and thin.
Chen Ming sensed it carefully, the thread of faith above the godhead was dense, but after carefully counting, there were about 3,000 roots, most of which were still in the primitive stage of shallow faith, only a small number of devout believers, most of the rest were false believers and shallow believers, and there were very few fanatical believers.
He silently calculated that there were about a thousand believers in this part of the Assyrian tribe, and although the number was small, the degree of faith was the highest, and almost half of them were devout. There are also the Bamu tribe and those people of the tribe where they are present, this part of the people is the largest, adding up to about 2,000 people, but because the time is still short, most of them are only to the point of hypocrisy and shallow faith, and there are very few devout believers.
"It's coming, it's coming. He couldn't help but think of the tribe where the main body was located, and if he could subdue that tribe, it would be able to exceed the scale of 10,000 people.
In other words, 10,000 believers is actually a big watershed for the gods. Because to a certain extent, 10,000 devout believers can independently support the working structure of a godhead. For the gods, the presence or absence of more than 10,000 believers is also a very important mark.
For Chen Ming, if there are more than 10,000 believers, it is very likely that he will break the next seal of the Godhead in one fell swoop, and at that time, his believers can go further, and his power will inevitably increase by a leap.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming's thoughts returned to the scene, and at this time, the sacrifice had come to an end.
As the old priest reverently recited the last oath. In the dark, the scene suddenly changed in a region that mortals could not see.
On the originally dim and gloomy earth, a light emerged from the middle of the altar, slowly expanding as the prayers of the people rang out, banishing all the gloomy ghosts in the range.
Around, the natural spirits that had been attracted by the blood and qi emitted from the previous battle, and some of the evil ghosts that had turned into after the death of the warriors all seemed to have encountered something terrible, and slowly retreated in bursts of chilling screams, not daring to continue to stay near everyone.
There are also a few ghosts with unruly faces, rushing towards everyone with a fierce face, but in the end, a ripple emerged, and they ended up scattered.
Seeing this, Chen Ming sneered.
Where the believers of the gods are, the source power of life and the power of faith that escapes are combined, and they will gradually gather to form a divine domain, expelling all demons and evil within the range, and how can these lonely souls and wild ghosts who have not even completed the transformation of their soul bodies be able to touch.
As the Divine Domain gradually expanded, it covered more and more areas, and finally covered all the corners of the village before stopping.
And as the Divine Domain stopped expanding, Chen Ming only felt a "boom" in his mind, and in the dark, a golden light fell from the sky, with a trace of brilliance and the power of the world.
