Fang Ning had long been curious about the Faith of the Human Heart.
In the beginning, when the System first transformed into a dragon, some people mistook it as the Celestial Dragon, and the System Notifications also showed up a few times asking "How much did the Favorability of the Celestial Dragon increase".
He knew that the Celestial Dragon was formed from the Faith of the Chinese, but he had no idea how it was formed, and he could not find out about it. Of course, the main reason was that he was too lazy to find out …
Now that there was a living example right beside him, of course he had to take a closer look.
While Fang Ning was deep in thought, the eagle and the dragon had already flown to the top of a high cliff.
There was only a giant eagle's nest at the top of the cliff, and it was the size of a master bedroom in a normal house.
Sky Eagle said, "Please wait for a moment, Brother Dragon. I'll go retrieve the key item that I prepared earlier to help me absorb the Faith of the Human Heart."
After saying that, it dove into the giant eagle's nest and flipped around for a long time before flying out with something in its beak.
Fang Ning was very curious as to what that key item was. Could it be some kind of treasure?
When the giant eagle let go of the object in its beak and pushed it, the object floated in front of the fire dragon. Fang Ning was stunned when he saw it.
It was a stone that was picked up from god knows where, and on it was a carving of something that was neither fish nor fowl.
Fang Ning stared at it for a long time, and could barely make out the beak, two claws, and a pair of wings. It reminded him of a roast chicken …
Speaking of which, he had not eaten in a long time, and he was actually a little hungry.
The fire dragon asked, "What is this?"
Sky Eagle said, "This is a statue of myself that I spent ten years to carve. Brother Dragon, please take a look, isn't it exquisite and lifelike?"
The fire dragon said, "I really can't tell …"
The System said, "What did it make?"
Fang Ning said, "It looks like a roast chicken to me. Sir System, what do you think?"
The System said, "Great minds think alike …"
Fang Ning said, "Forget it. Don't you know the four arts? Just make a painting for it. I think it wants to use its statue as a medium. A painting should have the same effect, and normal people can worship a portrait of a god. "
System Notification: [The System consumed 500 Experience Points and used Beginner-level Painting Skill to draw the portrait of Sky Eagle.]
The System said, "Go and trick the stupid bird into changing it to this portrait. I don't think that statue is reliable."
Fang Ning regained control of his body and said, "Fellow cultivator, this statue of yours is indeed exquisite, but since it took you ten years of hard work, you should keep it well. I just spent a lot of magic power to draw a portrait for you. Can you see if it can be used to replace your exquisite and lifelike statue? "
Before he finished his sentence, a ten-meter-long, three-meter-wide painting scroll suddenly appeared and hung straight in the air.
In the painting, there were high mountains and grasslands, and an eagle was perched on the peak of the mountain. It was exceptionally majestic, handsome, and proud.
The giant eagle only took a glance at the painting and was immediately stunned, unable to move its eyes away.
It flew up and down, its head coming close from time to time as it exclaimed, "What a handsome giant eagle! I never thought I could be so handsome!"
The System said, "Hey, look at this guy, he turned green in an instant."
Fang Ning looked at the System Map, and sure enough, the circle that represented the giant eagle had turned green, which was a sign that it had become an ally.
Fang Ning said in relief, "Looks like this guy is much simpler than the king cobra, there aren't so many twists and turns in his brain, so it's easy for him to turn green … But I have to wake this guy up. Look at how self-pitying he is, if I leave him alone, he'll probably stare at it for a whole day."
Fang Ning continued, "What do you think of this portrait?"
Sky Eagle only nodded, "Very good, very good."
Fang Ning said, "Can it have the same effect as your statue?"
Sky Eagle then turned its head and looked at the roast chicken statue that it had spent ten years to carve carefully. It was crude, and the more it looked at it, the more it hated it. No comparison, no harm …
"Who is this carved on it? I don't want it anymore," it said as it flapped its wings, and the roast chicken statue flew into the sky, turning into a black dot and disappearing.
Fang Ning was speechless, "You sure are decisive, fellow cultivator."
Sky Eagle looked at the painting reluctantly one last time and said, "It's rare for Brother Dragon to spend so much magical energy to paint such an amazing work of art for me. Just because of this painting, I have to help Brother Long. This precious painting is the best thing to be the key to absorbing people's Faith, it can fully display my handsome looks, and I'm afraid the effect will be more than doubled. Wait for me to imprint my Divine Sense on it. "
As it said this, its eyes looked at the "Sky Eagle" painting again. After a while, a small and faint illusion of a giant eagle slowly appeared from its body, and with a "swoosh", it pounced into the painting, and the two merged into one.
Fang Ning was surprised to see that the Sky Eagle painting was originally very exquisite and lifelike.
Now that the illusion of the giant eagle entered it, it immediately gained a sense of charm, the giant eagle in the painting seemed to be shaking its wings, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly.
After a while, Fang Ning was even more surprised, the giant eagle in the painting was really flying between the mountains and grasslands, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes high and sometimes low, hovering and soaring, just like a cartoon.
It really was a giant eagle that loved to "fly freely", it even wanted to fly in the painting …
However, it was willing to be controlled by him, the dragon, in order to obtain the worship of the people's Faith, there must be a story behind it.
Fang Ning thought about this, and faintly felt that maybe Sadi did not know the real secret behind it, the king cobra would not tell him the truth, maybe the snake did not need the Indians to worship it just for its advancement.
"Alright, Brother Dragon, as long as you send this painting to your arcane realm, I will be able to sense the Faith of the people they worship in a short time, and see if it is effective on me …"
Fang Ning nodded, then let the System keep the painting, and put it in the "Draconic Penitentiary", and let Anderson share the worship for everyone to see, saying that this was the "Divine Eagle of Hell", and should not be neglected.
A short time could be said to be fast, but it could also be said to be slow.
Fang Ning and the System were not in a hurry, but the giant eagle flapped its wings and flew up and down, looking very anxious, but trying its best to control itself.
Fang Ning took the opportunity to ask, "I see that your cultivation is successful and that you can be as free as you want in this Land of Heritage. Why do you want to imitate the king cobra and try to steal the spiritual energy of the humans outside?"
Perhaps it was because they had become allies, the giant eagle only hesitated for a while before answering, "With your status, Brother Dragon, you will find out about this sooner or later. Actually, do you know why this Land of Heritage is called the Land of Heritage? "
Fang Ning really did not know.
He asked, "Isn't that what the people of China call it? I see that they are planting herbs here to cultivate, it seems like they want to use this place as a foundation, and pass down their legacy for generations. "
The Sky Eagle shook its head, "We told them this name, it's not a problem for them to pass down their legacy here, as long as they do not cultivate to our level. In their words, they should not cultivate to the level of a Grade-A powerhouse here. "
Fang Ning was shocked, he did not know if the Truth Department knew about this secret.
"Why is that?"
The Sky Eagle said, "Brother Dragon, do you know how the bloodthirsty mutated beasts controlled by the king cobra came about?"
Fang Ning thought to himself, 'It's not like the game that spawned them automatically.'
The fire dragon shook its head to show that it did not know.
The Sky Eagle said, "Actually, they were all transformed from Grade-A powerhouses like me. At my level, I have to start worrying about the day when I lose my sanity and memory, and become a bloodthirsty beast … "
As it said this, its face suddenly lit up, "It's done, it's done so quickly, Brother Dragon's painting is really amazing! I can already feel the outside world calling to me! That's great, I can finally escape from this narrow place, and run towards the vast and limitless outside world. "
Fang Ning congratulated it, and continued to ask, "Congratulations, Brother Dragon, please continue to tell me what 'disaster' will befall us?"
The Sky Eagle still did not answer directly, it seemed to be very relaxed, and asked with a smile, "Brother Dragon, do you know how high the sky is, and how wide the land is?"
Fang Ning was depressed, this guy still liked to beat around the bush, "I've just arrived, I didn't have the time to fly around and have a look. However, I heard from the Indians that this Land of Heritage is vast and limitless, and there are countless beasts. "
The Sky Eagle laughed, "That bunch of idiots, they actually said it's vast and limitless. I guess those people are too weak, they were always blocked by the beasts, and never reached the border of the Land of Heritage. This land is very narrow, it can't be compared to the outside world. "
Fang Ning said, "Then can you tell me how big this land is?"
The Sky Eagle smiled proudly, "Others might not know, but I do. After learning the Chinese's calculation methods and units of measurement, I spent a month flying back and forth a few years ago.
"According to their calculation, this Land of Heritage is about 160,000 square kilometers, I can fly 400 kilometers in an hour, from east to west, from south to north, it only takes me an hour."
Fang Ning was speechless, 'Brother, you're so patient …'
He then nodded, although the Sky Eagle was beating around the bush and did not get to the point.
However, it solved another doubt of his. When Fang Ning looked at the System Map earlier, he noticed that the border of the Land of Heritage could be seen on the System Map, it was surrounded by clouds of white fog.
When he interrogated the souls of the Indians, they said that this land was vast and limitless.
Sir System could also transform into a dragon and fly, but it would never waste time flying around just to measure the size of the land. The Sky Eagle's hobby of 'flying freely' was indeed true …
However, this Land of Heritage might seem a little narrow in the eyes of the eagle who loved to 'fly freely'.
However, 160,000 square kilometers was already bigger than the province where Qi City was located. If they could completely occupy it, it would be equivalent to opening up a new territory in the new era.
No wonder the Truth Department immediately accepted his suggestion and chose to build a city to completely block the Indians' way of entering, it turned out that they wanted to continue monopolizing it.
This was a major event that would be recorded in the history books.
In the previous era, it was only a benefit to an individual's reputation. However, in this new era where vitality was restored, an era where the Apotheosis of Gods was possible, Fang Ning would not believe that such a great achievement to the Chinese race did not produce some miraculous effects.
