Chapter 1495: Chapter 490: War Divine Position
"Your Highness, the transport fleet’s warp engines are all preheated and ready to jump at any time."
"Go, transport all resources back to the Academy Star first, then deal with those small churches!"
"Yes!"
The witch agreed, and soon the fleet turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
.........
A month later, on a low-level colonization star within Saien Civilization
"Your Highness, are we just going to watch like this?"
Lunning, trailing half a pace behind Bai Yi, asked somewhat doubtfully.
Their position was on a cliff, and following Lunning’s gaze down into the wide valley below, two groups of people were fiercely fighting.
One of the groups was clearly more organized, with relatively uniform attire and more sophisticated weapons in hand.
At this moment, they had gained the advantage in the battle, pushing the larger opposing group into retreat.
Unfortunately, the side at a disadvantage was their own people.
"If Your Highness desires their faith, shouldn’t you immediately perform a miracle to help them defeat their enemies?"
After a moment’s pause, Lunning continued, slightly lowering his gaze to look at Bai Yi, who was standing with a staff in hand.
"It’s not the time yet.
Miracles that are too cheap won’t win faith. If faith can be easily beseeched, believers will feel it’s taken for granted, and even want more.
Not only would we not gain more faith, but believers would see us as tools to gain power.
Only salvation at the most critical junction will make believers more devout and grateful to the God.
I remember mentioning in the Chaos Civilization materials I gave you, they would even deliberately create disasters, obtaining faith by rescuing believers in crisis.
The Radiant Cross now grants you the ability related to faith; you need to strengthen your learning in this area."
Lunning behind him nodded slowly, deep in thought.
"I understand, so the ceremony you designed requires so many extra materials, it’s also to make them pay a price to beseech power, to let them understand the difficulty of beseeching power..."
She followed Bai Yi out, largely to learn experiences in this regard.
Compared to pure theory and memory in the territory, real-world teaching is much more intuitive.
"That’s right."
Seeing that Lunning indeed understood, Bai Yi nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, now it’s almost time."
Looking at the battle not far away, as the two spoke, Bai Yi’s followers had already retreated to a settlement, placing the final item needed for the ceremony on the altar, starting the ritual, praying for her protection.
"...oh great God of War, may you grant us guidance, save us all."
"Great God of War..."
The prayers echoing through faith transmission were for the God of War, the deity identity she tailored in this world.
Her right hand slightly lifted the staff, gently tapping the ground. The power of superpower easily covered the battlefield’s direction.
Those praying believers instantly felt they seemed to sense an unfathomable presence, suddenly gaining endless strength.
Especially believers still resisting the enemy realized they could understand each other’s thoughts, becoming the most tacit comrades.
Once fighting independently, they immediately turned into the most coordinated army, using their enhanced power and shared Life, quickly reversing the situation.
Easily encircling and completely annihilating enemies who were just flaunting earlier.
As the last enemy fell, the believers in the entire settlement erupted with intense cheers. Under someone’s lead, praises for the God of War rose one after another, quickly turning into unanimous prayers.
"Praise the God of War!"
"Only follow the God of War!"
Amidst the praises, a much denser golden-yellow Power of Faith accumulated in Bai Yi’s hands, finally forming a sphere with a dual-sword pattern in the center.
Holding the golden sphere high, Bai Yi’s lips curved into a smile.
"The War Divine Position is finally in hand!"
.........
War Divine Position: A divine position mastering the power of war. In the hearts of believers, the God of War can perceive enemy arrangements on the battlefield, linking warriors’ thoughts, making them the most elite and coordinated army. Every chosen one blessed by the God of War gains power and Life beyond ordinary, becoming the bravest warrior...
[Note: Interesting, due to believers’ perceptual shifts after exposure to high-tech products, the divine position unexpectedly gained enhancement related to machinery? The change in divine positions due to civilization levels is indeed a worthy topic...]
