"Alright, it really is the Ring of Thorns."
Li Yu had to admit that the name "Ring of Thorns" was very fitting when he saw the "Ring of Thorns" under Count Antaris's feet.
The Antaris family's "Saron's Cross Swordsmanship" could manifest a special ability called the "Ring of Thorns" when practiced to a high level.
Now, the ability of the "Ring of Thorns" had become an aura for Paladins after using the Power of Holy Light.
When Count Antaris activated the "Ring of Thorns", all his companions within 40 yards of him would be buffed by the "Ring of Thorns".
"Damage Reflection? An eye for an eye? "
Li Yu had to admit that the ability of the "Ring of Thorns" was pretty good.
…
A week passed.
The Holy Light that shrouded Amber City finally dissipated. However, the enthusiasm of the people did not diminish at all.
At this moment, the entire Amber City was in the midst of a "post-disaster reconstruction". All the people, regardless of whether they were nobles or poor, were enthusiastically invested in the "post-disaster reconstruction".
No matter how stingy a person was, they would still be generous with money and effort.
The slums were demolished and rebuilt. The dilapidated buildings were all demolished and cleared away. The area was transformed for the poor for free.
According to the people, Amber City was a city of miracles and holy light, so it had to look like a city of miracles.
Not only was there "Old City Renovation", but everyone in the city was spontaneously investing in the construction of a huge Holy Light Cathedral in Amber City.
"The power of faith is indeed infinite!"
Li Yu sighed when he saw the scene of the people doing voluntary work and the nobles donating.
A world that worshiped gods could not be viewed with common sense.
"I should also seriously study the power of faith."
Most of the people in Amber City had become believers of the Holy Light, and Li Yu had accumulated a lot of power of faith.
As a "container" that stored the "power of faith", the Cloud Slasher had become brilliant and holy.
"Is it going to become a Divine Artifact?"
Li Yu smiled and reached out his hand. He extracted a strand of power of faith from the Cloud Slasher and released his Divine Soul to carefully analyze the principles of the power of faith.
"The power of faith is a kind of spiritual power. It seems to be similar to a wish."
After analyzing the essence of the power of faith, Li Yu discovered that it was a type of wish. After gathering the wishes of countless people, the spirit interfered with reality and turned from illusion to reality, becoming a real existence.
To be more specific, it was the "public opinion can confuse the truth". If thousands of people thought of him as a "god", he would become a "god".
"So, gods are essentially 'created'?"
Li Yu nodded.
It was no wonder that the churches of the gods in this world would provide a detailed interpretation of the "priesthood" and authority of the gods and inform all believers. Then, the believers would pray according to this "interpretation."
"Gods comprehend the laws of nature from the origin, using the faith of all living beings to condense the laws into a Divine Domain. The Godhood of a God is formed from believers. "
Humans had personalities, and gods had divinity. However, Godhood was not innate. Instead, it was condensed from Origin Source Laws and faith.
"Then … how do the gods of this world maintain the independence of their consciousness?"
After accepting the faith of all living beings and receiving the "creation" of the power of faith, the gods would definitely continue to converge toward what the believers believed them to be until they were completely identical.
During this process, wouldn't the "self" of the gods constantly disappear and fade away? In the end, they would completely become what the believers believed them to be.
Would this god still be their original self?
"In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. The gods in the eyes of hundreds of millions of believers are generally the same, but it is impossible for the details to be completely the same. Then … is it this difference that allows the gods to maintain their "self" amidst the contradictions? "
This was just a conjecture. Li Yu had no way of confirming it.
"It seems that I still need to capture a few gods for experiments."
It was inevitable for gods to fall from their thrones and descend into the mortal world. Gods who roamed the world in the form of saints were only slightly more powerful than legendary masters. Even if he did not use the power of his main body, "Victor" would definitely grow to the point where he could capture gods for experiments if he continued to increase his power.
"I have also collected a lot of power of faith now and have done some research on the nature of the power of faith. I can take it out and test it out."
He walked to the window and saw that in the military camp in the city, Count Antaris was casting Holy Light so that the members of the Circle of Thorns could comprehend their own faith in the Holy Light.
"Is the count already training Holy Knights? It's a good opportunity to test the use of this power of faith. "
He stretched out his hand and drew out a stream of power of faith from the "Cloud Slashing Sword."
"The mind interferes with reality. The gods absorb the power of faith and turn it into divine power. Then they use divine power to interfere with reality and change it. This is the source of the gods' extraordinary power. "
Therefore, the power of Holy Light could also be fused with the power of faith.
He released a stream of Holy Light and fused it with the power of faith. A pure radiance suddenly bloomed.
Light! Warmth! Justice! Holiness! Beauty! Kindness … At this moment, the Holy Light that had fused with the power of faith was like a flame that had been poured with gasoline, becoming countless times stronger.
However … this power was no longer pure. It contained all the goodness and kindness in the hearts of believers.
"The believers believe that Holy Light is holy, beautiful, and incomparably powerful. Therefore, after the Holy Light was fused with the power of faith, the believers' wishes made it 'incomparably powerful.' "
The power of faith … had the function of a catalyst?
Allowing one part of the power to exert ten percent of the effect was indeed very interesting.
"It seems that I need to quickly unify the doctrine of Holy Light. The eight great virtues of Holy Light are the doctrine of Holy Light. This is the law that I have already engraved in the world's origin. "
Grabbing this mass of "divine power" that had fused the power of Holy Light and the power of faith, Li Yu waved his hand and sent this mass of "divine power" into the Circle of Thorns' knight camp.
* Boom! *
While Count Antaris was teaching everyone about the faith of Holy Light, there was a loud boom. Holy Light shone all over the sky and shot straight into the clouds.
"Modesty, honesty, compassion, justice, valor, honor, protection, sacrifice. This is the virtue of Holy Light. "
"Those who follow the path of Holy Light and uphold the virtue of Holy Light will be blessed by Holy Light."
"May the Holy Light protect (or deceive) you!"
The mighty voice resounded throughout heaven and earth. As the sky shone with Holy Light, eight words that represented the virtues of Holy Light were eternally engraved in the sky above Amber City under the effect of "divine power."
Light shone, holy and glorious.
These eight words represented the "doctrine" of the Holy Light and the laws of the Holy Light.
When these eight words appeared, the entire Amber City was suddenly enveloped in a permanent "Divine Domain".
"Praise the Holy Light!"
Countless people praised loudly and bowed down.
"It's a permanent Holy Domain? From now on, Amber City will be a forbidden land for evil. The power of faith can only be used according to the 'wishes' of the believers. "
Li Yu actually wanted to create a "neutral" territory, but the wishes of the believers made the Holy Light only "kind," so there was no other way.
"Ah … damn it! This place is making me very uncomfortable! "
When the "Holy Domain" appeared, Sauron and Vivian felt very uncomfortable. It was as if their bodies were being tortured by fire.
Sauron was a thief who was good at stealing and assassinating, so he was definitely not "kind" enough. Vivian was the Witch of Fear, so she was not "kind" either. It was very uncomfortable to be in the "Holy Domain."
Alright, Big Boss Li forgot about his fellow countryman again.
