Chapter 1496: Chapter 491: God Believers Resist
"It really is an ability in mental connection and body strengthening...
Not too different from what was expected, but it seems to include an enhancement in wisdom. Is it because these believers think the God of War should be smart?
It seems like I’ll need to pay attention to that in the future.
Even if the demonstrated miracle doesn’t have relevant powers, the believers’ own imagination of the God will still supplement the divine position with some aspect of power..."
Bai Yi muttered to herself, silently feeling the power brought by the divine position for a few seconds.
For Lunning, this was a learning opportunity, and the same for Bai Yi herself.
A month ago, after sending resources back to Academy Star, Bai Yi secretly left and started traveling between planets where churches were specifically supported to customize divine positions.
On one hand, it was to transform these churches, turning them from customizing Divine Descent bodies to customizing divine positions according to current research results.
On the other hand, she was constantly testing related theories and accumulating experience.
After all, the knowledge of customizing divine positions was something Bai Yi acquired from the Sea God. Before that, she had never come into contact with such knowledge and urgently needed to verify it and find key points to watch out for.
Fortunately, from the first day she set out until now, this was already the 13th divine position she had obtained, and she had gained some insights into the patterns involved.
She was already quite adept at guiding believers’ faith to condense into divine positions.
By using "miracles" to guide the collective impression of believers, the faith that burst forth in a short time with intense marks formed the corresponding divine position.
Just like before, she fused briefly with the small tree, using the life-associated ability of the small tree coupled with the power of the network to connect those believers.
With that, she fabricated a miracle she had designed for the "God of War" for these believers.
By relying on this fake "miracle," she guided the believers’ collective impression and obtained the divine position in her hands, which genuinely possessed the corresponding Divine Arts!
From initially taking a full five days to successfully obtain the first divine position, now she could guide one out in just a single day.
Having found more and more patterns, acquiring corresponding divine positions from other churches that had customized faith would be even simpler in the future.
Recording this point of note, Bai Yi once again focused her attention on the divine position in her hand.
"Let’s go. The believers on this planet are not many, and this divine position is currently only at a ’demigod’ level, just reaching the Fifth Tier.
It will take some time before it can be formally used.
Let’s first place this divine position back in my Divine Statue, allowing the faith of the believers here to slowly cultivate the divine position.
Heh, this time the miracle I performed laid the foundation for faith.
Additionally, with the divine position, the Divine Statue can now automatically respond to some requests for Divine Arts, so the expansion of faith here won’t be slow.
According to the experience from Sea God’s memory, only one-tenth of the population of this planet is needed to elevate this divine position to the Seventh Rank."
Raising the staff upward, Bai Yi withdrew the superpower she just displayed. When it fell back to the ground again, the power of Space erupted, enveloping Bai Yi and Lunning behind her.
The surrounding light twisted for just a moment, and the scenery around them shifted from the cliff to the interior of the settlement they had been staring at before, arriving in front of the Divine Statue at the core of the altar.
Thanks to Lunning’s manipulation of Light behind her, the cheering believers around them hadn’t noticed the two people who had suddenly appeared near their Divine Statue, one of whom was the very God they worshiped.
Looking up at her own Divine Statue, to avoid being unintentionally discovered, the humanoid Divine Statue before them no longer bore much resemblance to Bai Yi, and its features were deliberately obscured.
This was a modification she had deliberately made only yesterday when she came here, changing the Divine Statue to its current form from something that looked more like her.
Only the mark inside the Divine Statue could still direct the statue’s faith towards her.
However, from now on, there was yet another divine position added.
Pressing the golden Light Ball in her hand onto the Divine Statue, the divine position seamlessly integrated into the specially crafted statue, merging with the mark belonging to her inside, becoming part of the statue.
After integrating the divine position, it was as if a machine had finally inserted its control chip; the previously stored Power of Faith seemed to find an outlet, like a circuit finally connecting to its switch.
The Power of Faith began to circulate rapidly within the Divine Statue, and faith with a war divine position tendency started filling every corner of the statue.
Just like the roaring of a machine starting up, a surge of symbolic Power of Faith representing complete fusion rose from the surface of the statue, coating it with a faint golden-red glow.
The ordinary stone-carved statue suddenly appeared to carry a touch of Iron Blood majesty, exuding a faint scent of blood.
This change was immediately noticed by the believers still cheering around them.
Even though they couldn’t see Bai Yi who had inserted the divine position, they could see the change in the statue, feel the statue’s majesty, and their subtle connection with it.
If it were just the statue’s majesty and their connection to the statue, they might think it was an illusion. But combined with the glow emanating from the statue and the miraculous Divine Arts just now, they had no doubt left.
"The God of War has manifested! The God of War has acknowledged our victory!"
