Chapter 1497: Chapter 491: God Believers Resist (6k)_2
As the priest among the believers was the first to react, he hurriedly shouted and was the first to kneel on the ground, praying with utmost devotion to the divine statue.
With the priest’s lead, the rest of the believers quickly reacted as well, unanimously halting their cheering, and transforming their excitement over victory into devout prayers to the god.
The miracle earlier was the best conversion for them, and the connection within their hearts to the divine statue made them firmly more devoted to their faith, making their prayers increasingly pious.
"Praise the God of War!"
"May the God of War protect us..."
"May the God of War grant us victory in every battle..."
Perhaps due to the influence of divine power dissipating from the statue, each’s personal prayers quickly coalesced into a unified chorus, with waves of sound reverberating through the settlement.
"Although the god’s approval seemed merely a whimsical misunderstanding by the believers, understanding it this way doesn’t appear wrong either.
After integrating the divine position, the divine statue could truly function, replacing the original Divine Descent form and allowing them to invoke true divine arts.
Compared to the statue previously being merely a faith collector, in a sense, now it indeed signifies the god’s favor cast upon them.
Ha, and after acquiring systematic divine arts knowledge from the Chaos Civilization, the divine arts available became more varied and simpler.
This ’favor’ is no small feat."
Viewing from a high-dimensional perspective, Bai Yi was pleased to see a massive surge of Power of Faith, unseen by ordinary eyes, flowing into the divine statue, merging with the internal divine position, becoming its nourishment.
At this rate, Bai Yi felt that it would take at most only three months for this divine position to grow to a high-tier, truly mature form.
Moreover, considering the specialty of the War Divine Position, it will make the believers more aggressive, thus making faith expansion even faster.
Of course, this is just the more tactful and conservative statement.
The larger possibility is that these believers, in their quest for more favor, or for their own power and interests, would eventually spark real wars.
And as the faith of the God of War, it naturally could leverage such a war to expand rapidly.
By then, the growth speed of the divine position might accelerate even further, potentially making it her first custom divine position to reach the Seventh Rank level!
"What a pity, this growth rate is hard to replicate.
If it were a normal planet, initiating a globe-spanning war to expand one’s faith would be outright provocation to the Three Great Civilizations.
I’m afraid it would attract their attention and strikes before any real development.
Not that it might genuinely grow, let alone accelerate the divine position’s growth.
However..."
It’s why the Red Moon Church chose this place to cultivate the war faith of the God of War!
Even in the starry sky, this planet is a very peculiar one.
The planet itself belongs to a low-level civilization that just acquired interstellar navigation capabilities, but after a certain interstellar war, the debris aftermath almost obliterated the planet’s environment.
Moreover, the debris retained numerous untriggered weapons and a warship power core powerful enough to blow away the entire planet, its time of explosion unknown.
Forget high-level civilizations waging wars, even scavengers don’t want to recycle these debris.
The low-level civilization nominally ruling here, although hasn’t abandoned the announcement of their territorial claim, effectively has no governance left.
Thus it gradually developed, relying on the debris, into a unique surface civilization untouched by others.
Unmanaged, somewhat knowledgeable about the starry sky yet with little contact.
It can be said to be the perfect place for cultivating the War Divine Position!
That’s why the Red Moon Church chose it as the site for nurturing the war-related Divine Descent form, eventually used by her in cultivating the current War Divine Position.
As for the danger source?
Bai Yi indeed doesn’t know how to deal with it, but Bai Yi has her own plan.
After one Creation, it has already become a controllable source of danger.
Threatening the starry sky, keeping the gazes away from here, and avoiding accidentally exploding her hard-earned War Divine Position.
Simply perfect!
She continued to watch for a moment longer, seeing the believers finish their prayers, they quickly, driven by hatred and the confidence from the earlier miracle, walked towards the outcome Bai Yi anticipated, deciding to launch a counterattack against the enemy.
"Let’s go, this planet has gone on track, let’s return to the spacecraft and prepare for the next."
The Soul Armor activated, and in an instant of light distortion, Bai Yi and Lunning returned to the concealed spacecraft in the planet’s outer space.
Even though many planets in the starry sky already have the Insect Swarm and Portal Giant Tree due to her cultivation.
However, these special church’s planets do not fall into that scope.
After all, not every church on these planets is like this one, many exist on planets with more intimate starry sky contact.
Even the most cautious proselytizing is an open secret to those in power, only differing by how those with decision-making power choose to handle it.
Once truly swept, it would never implicate her hidden Insect Swarm.
After considering various transportation methods, Bai Yi still ultimately selected the spaceship as the most cost-effective option.
Of course, it’s the type where the identity has already been hidden.
However, just as Bai Yi returned to the main control room, before she could issue a command, the witch responsible for control stepped down from her seat and swiftly came before Bai Yi, her expression serious:
