Chapter 403 God loves the world
Zhou Tieyi looked towards the direction of the plain tribe, and in an instant, a chaotic, lustful power of faith surged in from the tide.
In the Plains tribe, because Zhou Tieyi directly killed the leader of the Mang tribe, the Kui God of the Mang tribe had to accept the result. After the retelling of the story by those who were present at the time, many people in the Plains tribe knew that a new Yanhuang tribe was born in the direction of the original Zhu Polong tribe, and their gods were extremely powerful, no less powerful than the Kui God of the Mang tribe.
During this process, the Mang tribe remained surprisingly silent, as if accepting the result.
Over the next month, Wu Mu took Yanhuang Tongbao to various tribes to exchange for slaves, and was treated as a guest of honor. There were no more malicious attempts. In the process, many tribes also knew the benefits of Yanhuang Tongbao. Not only could it effectively measure the value of traded items, but as long as you had enough Yanhuang Tongbao, you could exchange for most of the items you wanted from the Yanhuang tribe.
Food, weapons, slaves, power, and even the protection of God.
Although it is a wild world, because gods and humans have a symbiotic relationship in a certain sense, the words of promise made by humans and gods in this era are quite effective.
Especially the gods, once they make a promise, they will try their best to fulfill it even if it means destroying themselves, because even if they destroy themselves, as long as there are still people who believe in them, they will be able to come back. On the contrary, breaking a promise will result in no one believing in you, and the price is more unacceptable than death.
The Yanhuang Tongbao was so useful that with a large number of transactions, it naturally accumulated people's faith all the time. Everyone discovered the value of this thing and regarded it as a precious treasure above slaves.
This also brought Zhou Tieyi unparalleled power of faith.
These powers of faith are like the tides of the mortal world. Normally, Zhou Tieyi would not take the initiative to gather them, but would let Qilin Mingtang condense them on his behalf. But today, he will take the initiative to absorb this large amount of faith, break through the sixth level of Shintoism, 'spreading the name of the gods', and achieve the fifth level of Shintoism, 'gathering people's hearts'.
In the plain tribe, tens of thousands of coins burst into colorful lights. These lights were similar to the five elements of heaven and earth, but not as refreshing. Instead, they were like an overturned and mixed seasoning plate, dazzling people at first sight.
When the Yanhuang Tongbao shone with brilliance, the power of faith was directed and surged towards Zhou Tieyi like a tide.
Zhou Tieyi's divine body suddenly shone brightly, and became stronger and stronger in the tide of faith. However, in Wu Mu's eyes, his own god was "disappearing" little by little. Even he, as a priest, could clearly feel that the connection between himself and the god was weakening.
"god?"
Wu Mu looked ahead worriedly.
Zhou Tieyi's gaze returned from the plain tribe to Wu Mu, "Don't worry, I won't get lost."
This kind of reckless absorption of a large amount of faith power that "does not belong" to oneself, of course the worst result is that the gods will be lost in the faith of all living beings and unable to find themselves.
But Zhou Tieyi had a clear positioning. He first established connections with the strongest warriors of the tribe, such as Wu Mu, through the Blood God Son, totems, and Shinto talismans. Then, through this connection, he expanded it to the entire tribe of 5,000 people. These believers who were protected by him had purer faith in themselves, and this was the power he gained in exchange for protecting them, which was similar to dedication.
With a base of 5,000 people, it became easier for Zhou Tieyi to absorb the faith of tens of thousands of people from the plains tribes.
During this process, he himself was also transforming.
The first is great deeds, which are the traces left by gods in the world, the cause and effect that makes people remember them, and the real anchor for their return.
The pictures unfolded one after another. This time, Zhou Tieyi promoted writing, farming, and animal husbandry in the Yanhuang tribe, and then the Yanhuang tribe spread currency transactions to all directions...
When the picture extended to this point, a sudden change occurred. Zhou Tieyi felt as if his spirit was split into two, just like when he first used the magical power of usurping gods to connect to the campfire pond of the Yanhuang tribe.
The only difference is that this time the space and time of Daxia was connected through the campfire pond of the Yanhuang tribe.
He saw a door that stretched from heaven to earth. The door was composed of two white marble pillars surrounded by different strange beasts. However, the base of the door was now decayed and gray, as if it was connected to the underworld.
Zhou Tieyi recognized it at a glance. This was the Land of Illusion.
The next moment, the powerful force of faith also surged from the Taixu Illusionary Realm and into his body.
This power of faith is so pure that every strand is equivalent to the faith of thousands of people!
These are the first and second rank gods in the illusory world of Taixu!
Zhou Tieyi immediately determined the source of the belief.
The first time his divine body appeared in the territory of Daxia, he only faced the gods in the Taixu Illusion Realm. These gods accepted His existence, and for reasons that even Zhou Tieyi could not understand, they actually took the initiative to contribute their power of faith to him.
In the Taixu Illusionary Realm, many top first- and second-grade gods, including the Illusion Priest, opened their eyes. After the Pingjin Ferry incident, the Illusion Priest was verifying certain things, so he was not stingy in helping the suspected most mysterious of the Nine Gods to spread his name. Anyway, with the other party's means, he would not lack this little bit of faith, and he could use this process to confirm his conjecture.
Elder Lian beside the Phantom Priest was also alarmed. The two looked at each other. They could sense that the faith they provided was absorbed into somewhere, but once they went to pursue it, no matter how powerful the power they provided or how mysterious the means they used, it was as if they were immersed in the sea and could not reach the end of the sea at all, just like mortals looking up at the sun and the moon, which were out of reach.
"This is the realm of the sun and the moon."
Elder Lian said in an exclamatory tone, then turned to look at the Phantom Priest, "Do you know where he is now?"
The Phantom Priest pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Maybe He doesn't even know where he is now, so we don't know either." Elder Lian looked at the Phantom Priest with a puzzled look. Even with his wisdom, he couldn't understand the reason for a moment. He just felt that this sentence was extremely mysterious.
The Phantom Priest suddenly spoke up, changing the subject to another topic, "I kind of understand why the other eight gods still acknowledge His existence even when He is absent."
Elder Lian asked quickly, "Why?"
The Illusion Priest continued to not answer, and changed the subject again, "When the human race awakened, the Three Saints were born, and the Five Emperors set up a trap to lure and kill eight of the Nine Gods one by one, why didn't my Lord and the Five Emperors perish together with the Three Saints and Five Emperors and completely destroy this planet?"
Everyone in this world knows that they live on a planet. Outside the planet is a vast, boundless, cold and silent universe. They also know about people like Phoenix Ancestor. Although his power is like the sun and the moon in the sky, it is not as strong as the real big fireball hanging in the universe not far away.
But no one would doubt that the Nine Gods of the Sun and the Moon, who have the power to change the rules of heaven and earth, have the ability to destroy this planet, or at least destroy all life on this planet. This is the true meaning of the Sun and the Moon in the Sky.
Elder Lian's expression became solemn, "Because God loves the world."
Such a righteous but ridiculous answer is the final answer.
The Phantom Priest nodded in agreement, "Yes, God loves the world. It may only take a few days for God to destroy this world, but it will take at least 100,000 or even a million years to rebuild it. Without the support of faith in this process, even the sun and the moon will fall. So instead of both sides suffering losses in that battle that was already doomed to fail, it is better to prepare for today's changes during the first meeting of the Nine Gods in ancient times. After all, death is nothing more than a longer sleep for us. Ten thousand years is still shorter than hundreds of thousands or millions of years. God needs people, just like people need God."
Elder Lian carefully savored Priest Huan's words and asked carefully, "A battle that was bound to be lost? Why was it bound to be lost in the first place?"
The Phantom Priest chuckled, "Eight against eight. When the ninth person appears, no one can destroy him at that time. So even if both perish, the ninth person will be the final winner. His appearance is inevitable, so He is the oldest and youngest Sun and Moon Flyer. His country will descend from eternity to the future. Only at the node after the future will our Lord and Him decide the winner. Before that, no matter how hard you try, it will lead to the future."
Elder Lian had already understood most of what Priest Huan said, but hearing such a secret of heaven and earth, involving the fundamental changes in the world for tens of thousands of years, even he was agitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking again and again, "When will the future be?"
The Phantom Priest pondered for a while and said, "This is also what I was thinking about."
Elder Lian frowned and said, "In this process, everything we did to Him was meaningless. We can't even judge the timing."
The Illusion Priest smiled and said, "How can it be meaningless? Even if He had occupied the future at that time, He was only a fragment of the future. Even if the result is the same, a change in the process will cause the result to be reversed in the next moment after the future. Otherwise, why do you think our God still wants to tie Him to the honorable position of the Nine Ancient Gods without being able to spread His name?"
Elder Lian's frown relaxed, and he said with a rather sighing tone, "The wisdom of the Nine Gods is truly as deep as the ocean."
Immersed in the historical scenes, Zhou Tieyi was ready to cut off the connection of faith at any time, but after a long time, he could only sense the power of faith coming continuously, but there were still no extra means.
"They also cannot reach the wild world."
Zhou Tieyi made a judgment based on the sounds that only he could hear. From many previous experiments, he already knew that the transmission between the Manghuang World and the Daxia World was one-way. Apart from knowledge, beliefs, and rules created by gods, which were things that did not have physical matter and energy, only the Manghuang World could reach the Daxia World, but the Daxia World could not reach the Manghuang World.
At that time, he wanted to explore the reasons further, but was stopped by his own spirituality. Today, when he saw Taixu Illusion Realm transmitting the power of faith, he did not stop it immediately. He just wanted to try whether Taixu Illusion Realm could locate the wild world.
The result was that he was a second-grade god in the illusory world of Taixu, which was beyond the reach of even the first-grade gods. This was great news for him, and Zhou Tieyi didn't wait for him to continue thinking about it.
Because of the extra power of faith provided by the Great Illusion Realm, he completed the practice of "spreading the name of God" more easily than expected. A large number of great deeds began to spread not only in the Manghuang World, but also in the Daxia World.
Zhou Tieyi could feel that in addition to his own anchor point in the Taixu Illusionary Realm, the Mingyue System hanging in the Machinery City and the Third-Rank Divine Kingdom submerged in Panyang Lake had become his anchor points.
And these anchor points are of extremely high quality, which can easily help him locate his own existence in the prayers of the people and the picture of history, allowing these great deeds to contain his own behavior, logic, feelings and other things that transcend the soul. Even if his soul is scattered, he can gather his soul again and rebuild his golden body through behavior, logic and feelings in the historical pictures!
During this process, Zhou Tieyi gradually discovered that his great cause was powerful enough to not only protect himself, but also spread to the believers who were closely connected with him.
The five Shinto items of "gathering people's hearts" were also called "raising relatives" in ancient times.
Zhou Tieyi had also granted power to believers through means such as the Blood God Son, totems, and Shinto talismans, but that kind of grant was completely different from this time!
Granting power to believers through means like the Blood God Son was a gift from one individual to another, but now, by embracing his believers through his own great deeds, Zhou Tieyi feels that he has become one with the believers. Because of this indistinguishable fusion, his own characteristics will spread to the people of the Yanhuang tribe, and this spread will be passed down from generation to generation with blood and faith.
As long as the Yanhuang tribe does not lose its faith in itself and they themselves do not die, then each generation of the Yanhuang tribe will possess innate powers that surpass ordinary people and will be an extension of themselves, just like a child will inherit excellent genes from his parents.
There is no doubt that Zhou Tieyi has talent and strength at this time.
The first to spread to were the pure Yanhuang tribe members, that is, the initial 440 or so people. Now most of them have reached the level of martial arts. At this time, their blood and energy expanded, and red blood and energy waves rose from their bodies, outlining the shape of a flame. Then, in the flame, the power of faith and the rules of the gods were continuously introduced, and began to change everyone's genes in essence.
In an instant, the height of everyone in the Yanhuang tribe increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Originally, the men of the Yanhuang tribe were more than six feet tall, comparable to the talents inherited from the generals of the Great Xia. Now with Zhou Tieyi as the source, the height of these men instantly rose to nearly eight feet, and the red blood also glowed with colorful clouds. Even a baby lying in the mother's arms drinking milk, if he suddenly raised his hand, could make the surrounding rain and dew condense and turn into a small ball of cloud and rain that fell down, making the baby laugh.
