Chapter 176: Faith and Willingness
Dots of white light swirled around the core of the ancient tree, and a little murmur of prayer and a wave of gratitude brewed in the white aura.
"This is ......" Ling Yun frowned, "Faith willingness?"
These white lights come from the underworld, and I don't know where they came from.
By tracing back to their roots, the whispers of prayer and gratitude in these white lights originate from the people who live on these ancient trees.
They are full of respect for the ancient trees that shelter their people, and whenever they go up and down the ancient trees, an ethereal power will emerge from their spirits, and a little white light will appear in the core of the ancient tree.
But this white light is too rare, only hundreds of chats, and the aggregation is only a thumb-sized lump, for the ancient tree, these faith will power is too rare, and this power appears for the first time, and no one knows this power.
This kind of spiritual sustenance, which comes from the worship and prayer of living beings, is extremely ethereal, and has no power to interfere with the world. Since the birth of the ancient tree, it may be because of this belief and will power to enlighten the soul, but because it does not interfere with the outside world, the ancient tree does not pay attention to the existence of these faith and willingness.
Ling Yun saw that because the Faith Wish Power was not contained, every bit of Faith Wish Power was slowly dissipating, and the speed of this dissipation was very slow. According to Ling Yun's estimate, it will take a celestial year, and that little bit of faith will completely dissipate. This time is equal to the lifespan of the race that provides the power of faith, and there should be a very mysterious relationship between this, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.
As for the relationship between this, it needs to be verified slowly in the future, and the faith and willingness power in the ancient tree at the moment has indeed attracted Ling Yun's attention.
But this power of faith is not eternal, but is in the process of dissipating and replenishing, but very slowly.
There are only a few dozen or so ethnic groups living on the entire ancient tree, and even if they worship the ancient tree, they can't provide it with enough faith power. Because their wisdom is too low and immature, and their worship and reverence are not entirely firm, pure faith is extremely rare.
Such a scarce faith will power was not enough for the ancient tree to establish a deep connection with the clan, but Ling Yun felt that it could strengthen the process.
After thinking silently for a while, Ling Yun separated a divine thought and descended on the ancient tree's body. As soon as Ling Yun's divine thoughts entered the ancient tree's torso, it suppressed the ancient tree's own hazy consciousness. On the Gu Shu's side, he felt a huge will descend from the sky, suppressing his consciousness to a drowsiness.
Ling Yun descended on the ancient tree with a distraction through the séance method. The divine consciousness swept away, and all the faith and willpower were collected and restrained, so that they would not dissipate. As long as there is a constrained collection, in fact, these beliefs can always exist. It's not like it was just now, it's always in a state of divergence.
After he collected the Faith Will, he didn't know what to do with it. Although Ling Yun knew that these were faith wills, he was at a loss as to how to use them. Because this is the first time I have seen this faith will, an innate god like him can't use the faith will, so he hasn't found it. Now that this is the first time he has seen this Faith Wishing Power, he has no way of knowing the magic and usage of the Faith Wish Power.
Silently recalling the previous speculation about the belief in the gods, the most important thing for a god who has gained faith is the image and ability of the god, as well as the name of the god. Only when a living being knows the name of the deity in which it believes can it accurately transmit the power of faith to that deity.
If the belief of living beings is only a general concept, this belief will be divided equally by the gods of that concept. For example, if a living creature believes in the god of light, if this belief does not identify a specific god of light, the belief will be divided equally among all the gods of light who hold the priesthood of light.
The name of the god and the true name of the god are related to the imprint of the god in the world. Only by knowing the name of the god can this secret connection be accurately linked to the body of the god.
Therefore, this ancient tree that has not yet been born needs a real name, which engraves its own existence in the world and represents its own existence, so as to better accept the power of faith.
Engraving your real name is a very simple thing, as long as someone else gives a name and the person acknowledges it, it is considered a real name. Or you can make a name yourself, and others will recognize it, and you can also use it as your real name.
Of course, this is for ordinary beings, and if it is a god, the real name is very important. The true name of the innate deity is given by heaven and earth, and the acquired deity can obtain his true name in two situations, one is to be given by heaven and earth after being promoted to a deity, and the other is to turn the name he had before his promotion and recognized by himself into his true name.
If an ordinary creature encounters a god and obtains a name given by a god, the name given by the god is directly the real name. The language of the gods is connected to the laws of the world, and it contains the power of words and laws, and ordinary beings cannot resist it at all, so the name given by the gods will become their real name.
Ling Yun has known this characteristic for a long time, the real name represents his own existence, and it is definitely not something that can be changed casually, but there are still special circumstances that can change the real name.
Lingyun's own real name was originally 'Lingyun', after he became a god, he first obtained Xuanming, the true name of the cold winter, and then after obtaining the three priesthoods of spring, summer and autumn, the three real names of Longyan, Danyuan and Haohua appeared one after another. As the saying goes: "The spring god dragon smoke number contains Ming, the summer god Danyuan number guards the spirit, the autumn god Haohua is virtual, and the winter god Xuanming number nurses." The appearance of these four real names directly gave him four more names.
Ling Yun didn't know if other gods were like him, when they had multiple priesthoods, they would directly have a few more real names, but Ling Yun knew that if he encountered a spell against his real name, he himself was not afraid of this spell, because he had five real names in his body, and he couldn't inflict fatal damage on any of them.
These are all sideways, and giving a real name will give the ancient tree a self-imprint, so that the will of faith can be associated with the ancient tree.
Now, let him give the ancient tree its true name.
Ling Yun directly thought in his heart, and engraved the true name belonging to the ancient tree in the core of the ancient tree's life.
As the ancient tree got its true name, he immediately felt that the entire ancient tree had become an independent life existence.
In the past, ancient trees were creatures that belonged to the world, and they were one with the world. And now, the ancient tree has become an independent life, independent in the world, and has gained a truly free life.
"Just giving a real name alone, so that this ancient tree becomes an independent life, why is there such a gap between before and after?" Seeing this situation, Ling Yun couldn't help but be interested, just by giving a real name, there is such a change, so after obtaining the real name, what will happen if you combine your faith with your real name?
Ling Yun filled in his true name with his faith will, and as he filled in his true name, Ling Yun felt that the ancient tree was bound by his faith and turned into the protector of this race. Looking at this situation in amazement: "I didn't expect this faith power to have this effect?"
Ling Yun watched the changes of the ancient tree through distraction, if the original ancient tree changed its form, it might become a life like an elf, but now, it has become a kind of humane priesthood, that is, a race protector god. All ethnic groups living on ancient trees are within the scope of their protection.
Now the ancient tree is only limited to the group on the tree, and if there are other races that are protected by him, the ancient tree will also become the protector of this group.
Now, the people who inhabit the ancient trees are the protectors of the ancient trees, and the ancient trees are their protectors, and the relationship between the two is determined.
He didn't interfere in the reproduction and development of the race, he just gave the ancient trees they sheltered with their real names, and introduced the power of faith into the real names, so that the ancient trees became the protector of the race, and the appearance of this minimum god simply refreshed Ling Yun's cognition. After all, he had never seen such a weak god. It is much weaker than the smallest mountain god land, and can only affect itself and the people who live on the ancient trees.
It was the first time that such a god had appeared, and the appearance of the clan protector god immediately aroused Ling Yun's interest.
