Lu Ming was sure that the statue was of the Heavenly Human Tribe.
"Could the deity that Hai Zong was talking about be the Heavenly Human Tribe?"
Lu Ming's heart stirred.
That was very likely.
The Yan Tribe was born on this continent.
In the ruins of the universe, the Laws and Ultimacies were in a mess. It was only in the last few dozen stellar years that the Laws and Ultimacies became more orderly.
In other words, the history of the Yan Tribe was only a few dozen stellar years.
They had cultivated from nothing in the past few dozen stellar years. They would not be strong at all.
The strongest person in the Yan Tribe would not have a high cultivation level.
Lu Ming sensed that the strongest person in the village was only at the Empty God Realm.
If the Heavenly Human Tribe came to this continent, they would be at least at the Ninth Level of the Divine Lord Realm or the Divine Master Realm. In the eyes of the Yan Tribe, they were no different from deities.
As long as the experts of the Heavenly Human Tribe showed some skills, they would be worshipped as deities by the Yan Tribe.
"Okay, time's up. Let's start the prayer!"
There was an elder under the statue. He said to the statue respectfully and then knelt down in front of the statue and bowed deeply.
The other people in the yard did the same, including Hai Zong. They bowed deeply and started praying.
Lu Ming did not do that. How could he bow to the statue of the Heavenly Human Tribe?
He stood there and watched silently.
The villagers were praying wholeheartedly, so no one noticed that Lu Ming was still standing.
After a while, Lu Ming saw something that shocked him.
He realized that when the villagers started praying, they seemed to have some kind of resonance with the statue. Lu Ming activated the forbidden energy in his eyes. He could clearly see that there was a thread on the villagers' bodies that was connected to the statue. It seemed that something was following the thread and gathering on the statue. A layer of hazy light appeared on the statue.
"This … Is this the legendary Power of Faith? The Heavenly Human Tribe is collecting the Power of Faith? "
Lu Ming's heart trembled.
He had read in an ancient book that in the early days of the Heavenly Palace era, there was a cultivation method that was popular for a time.
That was the cultivation method of the power of faith.
Many experts would gather believers and power of faith from all over the place.
Many powerful beings had believers all over the Vital Planets and even the Minor Worlds.
However, there was a huge drawback to cultivating the power of faith. It was still fine in the early stages, but the more one cultivated it, the harder it would be to control it, and one could easily suffer a backlash.
After all, the power of faith came from countless different living beings and contained different wills.
Once it reached a certain level, even top-notch experts would find it difficult to control it. Their bodies would be affected, and they might even suffer a backlash from the power of faith. In the best case scenario, they would be severely injured, and in the worst case scenario, they would die.
Thus, as time passed, that sort of cultivation method was no longer practiced by anyone. It was practically extinct.
He didn't expect to see the Heavenly Human Tribe collecting the power of faith here.
"What is the Heavenly Human Tribe doing? Is it for cultivation or something else? "
Lu Ming frowned as he pondered.
The surroundings were silent. Everyone was praying with all their hearts.
Wait, there was one person who wasn't praying with all his heart, and that was Seawater.
Lu Ming found that the thread between Seawater and the statue was very faint, as if it would dissipate at any time.
"Seawater said that he believes in the gods, but in fact, I'm afraid that's not what he thinks …"
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
The faint thread meant that Seawater wasn't praying with all his heart. He was just putting on an act here.
Lu Ming watched quietly. After three hours, the prayer ended.
Under the statue, the old man, who was the village chief, was the first to end the prayer. He opened his eyes and stood up, raising his arms to announce the end of the prayer.
Afterward, he saw Lu Ming standing there with his back straight and his eyes closed to rest.
In fact, Lu Ming was secretly absorbing the black mist. He didn't want to waste time.
"You … How dare you not pray? How dare you!"
The village chief pointed at Lu Ming and roared.
This roar woke everyone up and they all looked at Lu Ming.
"What? This person didn't pray? How dare he!"
"This is blasphemy against the gods. He must be punished!"
"I suggest you burn him alive on a stake!"
Many villagers shouted.
Lu Ming actually dared to disrespect and blaspheme the gods. They were afraid. They were afraid that the gods would be angry and not protect them. They might even punish them. Therefore, they vented their anger on Lu Ming.
"Men, drag him out and burn him to death!"
The village chief shouted.
Immediately, a few burly men stepped forward, wanting to take Lu Ming down.
Lu Ming's eyes turned cold.
The strongest person in this village was only at the Empty God Realm, but they wanted to kill him.
Even if he didn't do it himself, Qiu Qiu, who was at the ninth Great God Realm, could destroy this village in one move.
"Wait, village chief, wait!"
At this moment, Hai Zong yelled and hurriedly stood in front of Lu Ming.
"Seawater, are you trying to protect him?"
The village chief said coldly.
"Village chief, Tianyun isn't from our village!"
Seawater explained.
"I know he isn't from our village, but even if he isn't from our village, he has to pray when he enters our village. This is the rule set by the gods."
The village chief said coldly.
"Village chief, Tianyun's village is very remote. It isn't covered by the light of the gods yet. Also, the gods have a rule that there is no need to pray under special circumstances. Tianyun is seriously injured and needs to be treated. If he prays, his injuries will worsen. This is in accordance with the rules set by the gods. I believe the gods won't blame him."
Seawater explained loudly.
The village chief and the other villagers looked at Lu Ming carefully.
Lu Ming's condition was indeed very bad. Although the wounds on his body had recovered a little over the past few days, he was still very skinny and his aura was weak. He indeed looked as if his vitality had been greatly damaged.
The village chief and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't need to pray when he was seriously injured. The gods did have such a rule. They believed the gods wouldn't blame him.
"Alright, Seawater, take him away. Next time, if your injuries aren't healed, you don't need to come. But if you are, you must come as long as you are still in our village. Otherwise, you will be sentenced to death!"
The village chief said sternly.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seawater nodded repeatedly. Then, he gave Lu Ming a look and left with Lu Ming.
After walking far away, Seawater sighed and said, "That was close. Fortunately, your injuries aren't healed. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."
Lu Ming smiled and didn't mind. He said, "How long have you been praying like this? Are other places praying like this?"
"A long time. It has been passed down for many generations. At least tens of thousands of years."
"As far as I know, wherever the light of the gods shines, people have to pray."
Seawater said.
Lu Ming nodded silently. The Heavenly Human Tribe had excavated the Heavenly Star area about tens of thousands of years ago.
