Chapter 396: Western believers in Taoism

"Making God?"
Zhao Shi's expression was condensed, and he didn't reply for a while.
Gods are not something worthy of awe and mystery for players. The mainstream of the Eastern game world is immortal cultivation and martial arts, and does not involve the beliefs of sentient beings.
This is not the case in the Western game world. They have three major systems, namely magic, knight, and faith. In the previous "Witcher" games, there were kings who followed the way of faith.
The strength is not yet known, and there has been no fight.
In the discussion within the king, most kings, including Zhao Shi, regarded these Western kings who follow the system as their enemies, and reached a consensus that any discovery must be suppressed or eradicated.
It is not because of their strength that the kings on the side of the cultivation of Zhao Shi and others of the same rank are sure to kill them.
But the road to faith is fast!
Their growth rate is too fast, there is almost no bottleneck before their strength grows to the limit of their own control over the power of faith, and the strength of the believer can be increased to as much as possible.
For immortal cultivators who need hundreds of thousands of years to grow and cultivate, this advantage is too great.
But not many people, including kings of other Western systems, envy this path.
The way of faith is deeply flawed.
Looking at Zhao Shi's embarrassment under the attack of the power of faith, you know how dangerous this thing is. It can be said that there is always the possibility of losing control.
Although the king of Western beliefs can use various methods such as constructing the structure of the ‘divine personality’, planning specific doctrines to classify and absorb specific beliefs, and develop specific meditation ideas to strengthen their own spirits.
These attacks of faith that allowed their spirits to withstand were far higher than Zhao Shi's brutal practice of slashing all faiths, maintaining his independence in the face of faith.
Unfortunately, none of these things can completely eradicate the poison of faith.
In some public studies, it is found that if a king is too deeply immersed in the faith, his soul will be forced to change into what believers imagine.
For example, the of love, regardless of whether she was a male or a female, or what she looked like before, will be forcibly changed into the charming female appearance imagined by believers.
One's own personality will also undergo tremendous changes, just like love itself, it is as capricious as love itself, enthusiasm is like a flame, and cold like a glacier hell, indifferent to everything, love is the highest.
If there is a chance to kill all human beings, but can make love sublimate, he will never hesitate.
This change is irreversible and will even affect reality!
Only by killing him to level zero and quitting the game, after at least ten years of treatment in reality, can alleviate this psychological change.
Many people in academia hate this method of cultivation. They believe that once a person touches and absorbs the power of faith, he is no longer himself, but a freak born from the belief of all living beings combined with the original soul, and the original soul is fused to a certain amount. The power of faith has already been killed.
Many studies have shown that if a player is promoted to a true god, that is, when he is a person of the same level as the ‘Xian’ in the immortal cultivation system, he is already a brand new life.
The best effort of those who are in contact with the faith is to keep the freak born on the corpse of their souls still sane.
But those Western kings who devote themselves to the way of faith do not think so.
They believe that all cultivation systems are transforming their souls and bodies little by little, so that their lives can be sublimated into a higher-level brand-new life. The so-called immortal cultivation, the so-called knight, and the so-called mage are all like this.
The only difference in the way of faith is to make this process more rapid. This process is indeed dangerous, and there is the possibility of distortion at any time.
But it also brings a faster training speed, and the comparison between risks and benefits is completely acceptable.
The two points of view are arguing endlessly, and no one can be convinced, and the system does not have any intention to prohibit this practice method.
It is foreseeable that in the future, due to academic disputes, population beliefs and resource disputes, people who hold these two different views will inevitably erupt endless conflicts.
Even if it is possible for the mages and knights to weigh the pros and cons and temporarily compromise, it is impossible for the gods who are trapped by faith to compromise.
"Xiaxia, do you think..."
Seeing that he revealed his final trump card, Zhao Shi didn't show any emotional expression. Instead, he was still in a daze for a long time, and the heart of the Saint of Light kept sinking.
"Can I take a look?"
Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Shi took his thoughts back from a distant place and asked curiously.
It is naturally impossible for him to step into the way of faith, but to be honest, he urgently needs some knowledge of faith to fight against the attacks of the power of faith that are increasing all the time, in order to better use the sword to kill them.
The Virgin of Light loosened her heart, and respectfully handed a golden crystal ball: "Under the crown, here are one-third of the mystery-making method passed down by the church through generations, and the rest is in the hands of His Majesty the Pope."
The words were made clear from the beginning, to prevent Zhao Shi from torturing them to extract a confession and seizing secret methods.
Zhao Shi's divine consciousness penetrated into it, and it clearly records that the first generation of prophet Benedict faintly sensed a power when he was preaching.
As an apprentice to a mage, he immediately began his initial research on faith, but he did not achieve much throughout his life.
After his death, the Church of Illumination continued to grow and grow. Because they had been preaching at the bottom, the overlord Magic Council that occupied the mainland at that time ignored it and gave no blow.
Even the characteristics of the doctrine of not allowing suicide, enduring suffering, and being willing to be humble, have been vigorously promoted by local mages and nobles in many areas with frequent riots to help them grow.
Time went on, and when the twelfth generation of Prophet Dolu, the Church of Illumination finally grasped the power of faith, let its soul connect with the sea of ​​faith, and through a specific way to make the sea of ​​faith believe that it is'light God’s part is thus able to use the power of faith.
At this time, the twelve generations of Prophet Dolu can already be compared with the official mage by mastering the power of faith.
But the power of belief in the early generations was very flawed. Prophet Dolus died of old age in just a few years.
After that was the magnificent development history of the Church of Illumination. During this period, there were countless heroes and countless sacrifices. The prophet was changed to the pope. The knights were their allies discovered. Later, after the power of the Mage Council was reduced, they parted ways and were hostile to each other.
These historical processes, Zhao Shi, just passed by, focusing his main attention on the exploration and utilization of the power of faith by the Bright Church.
They went from being an official mage to a star-level mage. In the end, their strongest relied on the power of faith to become the pinnacle of the plane, and their lifespan reached the height of a knight of the same level.
The characteristics of the power of the light of faith, the structure of divine art, and how to prevent the sea of ​​faith from counterattacking, are recorded one by one, in the eyes of the immortal researchers like Zhao Shi, they are simply more exciting than the best movies.
When the power of faith was barely comparable to that of the Earth Knights, all the records about the structure and characteristics of the power of faith came to an abrupt end.
"This...I see, step back. I will seriously consider your proposal."
Zhao Shi took a deep breath, a little angry, but didn't blame anyone.
"Yes, under the crown."
The saint of light showed a disappointed look, did not say anything, and retreated.
