The symbolic image of the idol is not really important, the key is the faith value obtained.

According to the system, this is a very special kind of energy.

It can be used on its own to enhance combat attributes and apply blessing effects to weapons and equipment and other items.

It can also be fed back to believers to fulfill the wishes they made when they prayed.

The more faith you have,

The more amazing the effect.

Cheng Shen had no doubts about the preciousness and magic of this energy, as far as he knew, before this world fell into a state of collapse, the Celestial God Clan fought against other races in order to compete for the faith of the human world.

Even this race, which stands at the top of the world, needs something desperately to fight for.

There is no doubt about its role.

For some reason, Cheng Shen still did not choose to shape the symbolic image of the god statue into himself, but in order to ensure that the final ownership of this belief value was locked on him, he took a compromise method.

Shape your natal weapon into a god of faith.

In this way, the faith generated by the believers in prayer will be gathered into repentance.

He can use or discard this energy at any time.

First, it has little impact on themselves.

Moreover, it is also safer, if one day he is completely devoured by the weird, Cheng Shen can also strip out his repentance in time, lest he also become the source of the terrifying curse spread like the gods of the old era.

With Cheng Shen's thoughts.

The dark red spear condensed in his hand, and the statue at the bottom of the sacred pool gradually became slender and sharp.

"In that case, it's time to change your name."

Cheng Shen looked at the spear and thought. The present penitent heart no longer has the character of sacrifice, and it is not appropriate to call it that name. And now it has an additional symbolic image, and it comes from the Temple of Blessing.

That's just called:

Sacred Pool.

The spear, whose name had changed, was reintegrated into Cheng Shen's body, and he then tried to worship himself.

However, it didn't work.

It is not known if it was for other reasons or if it was due to his lack of piety.

In order to test, Cheng Shen immediately found two residents with defective personalities, and after a short understanding of the effect of the blessed temple, he personally walked to the edge of the holy pool, holding a pool of clear pool water in both hands and pouring it on the heads of the two people.

"The Holy Pool will bless you."

He said reverently.

Swish!

The clear water splashed on the top of the two people's heads suddenly turned into a little starlight and merged into their bodies, Cheng Shen observed the state of the two, and saw that their respective negative personalities were like being forcibly erased by an eraser.

Then a new line of writing resurfaced in the margin.

Reverent.

Industrious.

The eyes of the two reopened were full of joy as if they had been reborn, but Cheng Shen felt a chill for no reason at this moment, the ability of the system was terrifying enough to forcibly modify a person's memory and character.

Then bless the Temple's restrictions on recruiting units.

It can't be done.

Or rather,

What can it do but won't show itself?

"Thank you for the gift of the Holy Pool!"

The two of them prostrate in front of Cheng Shen's feet and said in unison, and the system prompt that came interrupted Cheng Shen's cold suspicion.

[Gain: Faith +3!] 】

[Gain: +1 Faith Points!] 】

……

The same process, but two people provide different amounts of faith.

Cheng Shen looked at the resident who had washed out his pious character, and immediately understood everything, a resident with this kind of character was born to be suitable for being brainwashed... Each of their prayers provides a far greater value of faith than ordinary people.

And.

Once they believe in a certain being, it is very difficult for them to change their faith.

It is also among the people of this kind of personality that brainless fanatics are most likely to be born.

However, it is also a negative character.

A person with a devout personality will spend one-third of his day in prayer.

A lot of labor is wasted.

If Cheng Shen wants to take the route of religious rule, then a resident of this kind of character must be the most suitable for him.

But he's not.

However, each person can only use the Blessing Temple once, and Cheng Shen can't modify it no matter how good or bad Cheng Shen is.

"Let's go down."

Cheng Shen ordered the two of them to step back, he looked at the statue at the bottom of the holy pool again, if it wasn't for the innate ability, he really couldn't see it, on the spear statue, there were faintly four more floating white points of light.

That's what is called the power of faith.

He can directly mobilize the power of this power of faith through the Natal Weapon Sacred Pool.

It's just that the number is too small.

So little that he couldn't even notice the existence of this energy.

He tried to use this energy to amplify himself, and the four floating faint lights on the statue suddenly disappeared, and a faint but inexplicably deep aura flashed on Cheng Shen's body, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal surprise.

"The increase brought by 4 faith points can already be clearly perceived, if it is 40 points, 400 points, or thousands of ......"

He was amazed in his heart.

The actual effect of the power of faith was far beyond his imagination.

This thing,

It's an all-powerful power!

[Hint: You have consumed 1 faith point to meet the conditions for opening the Idol of Faith, and the Idol has been successfully opened!] The current belief level of the idol is: 1st level, and the corresponding functions of the level have been unlocked, please check it out for yourself! 】

……

Suddenly, the prompt sounded.

Cheng Shen checked and found that there was an extra page of special attribute panels on his natal weapon.

【Sacred Pond】

【Idol of God】

[Level: 1st Order]

[Believers: 2]

[Faith: 0]

[Theocracy 1: Consume a certain amount of faith power (minimum not less than 100 points) to generate an additional positive effect of the Personality Heart, when the consumption exceeds 500 points, you will definitely get the Heart of Piousness]

[Theocracy 2: Continuously consumes a certain amount of faith power, which can provide additional buffs to believers within the range of the idol, but this function will deepen the dependence of believers on the gods of faith, please use it with caution]

[Theocracy 3: A wish made by a believer during prayer can be realized, and the power of faith consumed depends on the difficulty of the wish, and when the wish is successfully completed, the owner of the idol can receive a special reward]

[Theocracy 4: Spend a lot of faith power to rain down miracles in an area, the coverage and effect of the miracles can be controlled by the owner of the idol, and this behavior will have a chance to attract the attention of other gods]

……

"Instruction manual given by the system?"

Cheng Shen's expression was strange.

The sudden opening of the attribute panel gave him such a strong sense of déjà vu.

But nothing else.

The first function of the statue alone really appealed to him.

The baptismal effect of the Sacred Pool is random and uncontrollable, and the probability of washing out a positive personality is the same as that of a negative personality, and if the heart of the personality condensed using this function is used, it will definitely be able to give it a positive personality.

It is equivalent to canceling out the uncertainty of the holy pool, so that the essential role of the personality reshaping machine can be stably played.

The value is self-evident.

Moreover, although Cheng Shen dislikes the effect of pious personality from the bottom of his heart, he can't stand this thing is really fragrant......

Triple Faith Gain.

Take 10,000 steps back.

Even if he doesn't use it for the sake of development, it's still pretty good to use it to control some units from other sources.

There are two sides to everything.

"Faith still needs to be accumulated, and there is no need for brainless fanatics, but it is still necessary to establish a spiritual belief for the residents."

Cheng Shen thought calmly.

"There are too many chaotic beliefs in this world, and if you are not careful, it is easy to be exploited by those evil gods. This piece of ground is like a piece of-flavored chocolate, it's weird and disgusting to eat, it's a pity not to eat it......"

He thought for a moment.

Not everyone in the territory needs to be baptized in the Holy Pool.

Therefore, the method of spreading the faith through baptism will certainly not work, and it will require him to take a two-pronged approach to territorial policy.

This is not a difficult thing for him to do, only need to add a believer subsidy, stipulating that each believer can receive an additional amount of money every month, which is also a temptation for those goblins who have just escaped.

Cheng Shen seriously thought about the disadvantages of this matter.

Think it's doable.

Because this money can be paid by the unique point system of his territory, there is no need to consume actual gold coins, as long as he can ensure that the price of the territory will not collapse, it is equivalent to a wave of believers in vain.

And the expense won't be so much that it will affect prices.

Think about the details of the policy.

Cheng Shen called Amy.

He first washed Amy's sadistic personality through the temple, and the result was not bad, washing into a narcissist, although it was still negative, but it was always a character that had less serious effects.

As for Eugene.

His money-hungry personality is still somewhat useful at the moment.

……

When I came to the subordinate territory inhabited by the goblin tribe, most of the goblins had already been healed, fed and drunk, and began to work.

The first thing they did was to cut down the trees in the territory and expand more living areas, even if Cheng Shen didn't intervene, they would soon be able to transform it into a habitable place.

The premise, of course, is to find food.

The Dark Forest's cultivation environment is no better than that of the Underworld.

Cheng Shen has the food in his hands, which is equivalent to holding their lifeblood.

"My lord, the list is out!"

When Wiman saw him, he immediately leaned over.

He didn't prepare a paper list, but memorized everyone's information in his head, and said it in one breath at this time, that is, Cheng Shen's memory was developed, otherwise it would be difficult to remember.

"Wait." Cheng Shen turned his head to look at him and asked, "You said that in addition to the R&D personnel, every goblin has mastered the mining skills?" ”

"We live underground ...... after all"

Wiman lowered his head.

"So even newborn babies are going to get holes?"

Cheng Shen unceremoniously debunked.

"It's our instinct ......"

Wiman was still stiff-mouthed.

Shaking his head, Cheng Shen didn't give him a chance to continue quibbling, "I just applied for a grant for you, in exchange for the fact that you must have a faith, this money is enough for them to live, you think about it." ”

Say yes to consider.

In fact, there was no room for negotiation in this decision.

Among the goblins rescued by Cheng Shen, two-thirds of them can be called old, weak, sick and disabled.

If they are allowed to exchange the little life they have left for the value of their labor.

Absolutely.

But in that case, I'm afraid that it won't be a few months, and not many of the tribes will die.

This group of people needs to recuperate, and may live a few more years to produce the next generation.

And the faith subsidy proposed by Cheng Shen is simply a choice that suits them perfectly.
