How could an idol whose existence was maintained by the faith of others believe in other existences? After kneeling at Zhang Lisheng's feet, even though the vitality in the barbarian ancestor idol's body no longer dissipated, its original consciousness began to gradually blur due to the restriction of the law.
The young man sensitively felt the disappearance of the idol's soul, so he hurriedly gave this special new believer the identity of a priest who could share his own power of faith, trying to prevent its will from being erased.
Unfortunately, the power of faith bestowed by a God and the power of faith that one absorbed by oneself were two completely different concepts. The ancestor idol's expression of fear and humiliation that appeared on the tattered cloth was still unavoidably fading, and its entire person became lifeless.
"I didn't spend so much effort just to harvest a puppet-like antique creation …" Zhang Lisheng had an angry expression on his face as he muttered to himself. With a deep frown, he pondered for a few seconds and suddenly, his eyes lit up. He untied a yellow, red, and blue leather belt from his waist and unfolded it to reveal a picture of a vast mountain, sea, and river depicted on the leather skin.
After that, the young man waved the leather painting at the giant idol kneeling in front of him. The 'idol' immediately shrunk to the size of a dust and fell into the painting. At once, a bright brilliance flashed across the leather painting, and the painting became three-dimensional and more vivid.
At the same time, the Wizard Li god suddenly felt that his understanding of the divine power he had mastered had inexplicably deepened.
The unexpected harvest stunned him for a long time. Slowly, the anger on his face turned into ecstasy as he threw his head back and laughed incoherently, "Hahahaha … Coincidentally, this is equal to having the first intelligent creature in my 'divine kingdom'!
The Leather World, where the internal environment is so harsh that only a small number of the most tenacious insects and lichen plants can survive, suddenly has such a leap in intelligent creatures. If it's not for the existence of the ancestor idol, a monster that can't say that humans, ghosts, and gods are not gods, it would be a fantasy story.
This is great! This is great! There are at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of 'idols' in the entire Hardstone Plateau. Even if I can only force half of them to yield, I can also greatly improve my divine kingdom. This is really a huge unexpected wealth … "
In less than a morning, the thousands of Wizard Li scouts in the surroundings first saw the god they believed in actually turned the terrifying barbarian ancestor idol into a living creature.
Then, he forced the ancestral idol, who had the title of 'God who was not a God' in the continent since ancient times, to kneel in front of him.
Then, he took out a strange scale drawing from his waist and put the surrendered idol into it. Laughing maniacally, he said a bunch of incomprehensible languages. At once, they could not help but look at each other as they lowered their heads and bowed their waists.
The short time they spent with the Wizard Li god confirmed the rumors that they had heard secretly spreading all over the Green Leaf Mainland. Even though this new god, who was about to complete the great cause of ruling the mainland with theocracy, was majestic, his temperament was not much different from ordinary humans. He did not like to pretend to be profound.
However, a God was a God after all. Even if he was laughing and angry, he would not allow his believers to say anything. It was the smart thing to do to remain silent and show respect.
Zhang Lisheng laughed heartily for a while and gradually calmed down. Rubbing the Leather World with his hand to sense it for a while, he suddenly shook one of his hands and the ancestral idol appeared again from small to large beside him.
At this moment, the appearance of the 'idol' was already very different from before. The animal skin wrapping around his body had already torn apart, revealing his gray skin, skinny chest, and four limbs. The expression of anger and despair on his face had also disappeared without a trace. Instead, it was filled with uncontrollable joy and joy.
"Believer, do you still feel that your will has dissipated?" Carefully studying the unusual barbarian idol in front of him, even though Zhang Lisheng felt that its soul had become abnormally stable, he still asked.
"No, God! The sky and the earth don't like me, b-but I can still hold on for a day and a night!" The ancestral idol answered intermittently and stiffly.
"Oh, that means that the Leather World has automatically improved the way you exist. No, I should say that it has shielded the Gaia World from harming you. N-No, you can't say that … Oh, God!
The more I know about this world, the more things I can't understand, "The young man muttered to himself and no longer thought about it. The young man muttered to himself and no longer thought about it. Instead, he asked again, "Even though it's only a few minutes, I still want to ask you, is your life in the Leather World good?"
"Light, heat, ground, bare, insects, boundless, heaven and earth, joy …" The ancestral idol answered with great effort.
"Looks like the environment in my divine kingdom is very harsh, but you can adapt to it completely and even like it very much. Indeed, no matter how bad the environment is, it's still countless times better than standing in the wild for hundreds or thousands of years without moving at all." Zhang Lisheng nodded noncommittally and raised his third question, "Do you still remember your name?"
"Tuya, Tuya Fang," After a moment of hesitation, the ancestral idol replied.
"Very good! This name and your appearance should surprise your former believers. I can't wait to see their expressions!" Zhang Lisheng replied and laughed out loud as he put the idol back into the Leather World again. Turning around, he strode up to the soil platform and commanded the mud creation to return to Tusala Fortress under the escort of the Wizard Li scout tribe.
After entering the city, the first thing he did was to see the hundreds of captured northern border barbarians. After some twists and turns, he managed to harvest several dozens of Hardstone believers and the first Hardstone high priest with the help of Tuya Fang.
With the strategy of spreading faith and the first breakthrough, the northern border barbarians, whose total population was only over 20 million due to the harsh living environment of the Hardstone Plateau, became Zhang Lisheng's' meal '.
Besieging them with a large army, he took the opportunity to awaken the ancestral idol and forced and enticed it to convert and worship him. The young man first quickly swept away the largest hundreds of barbarian tribes in the Hardstone Plateau day and night. Then, he used the northern border barbarians to form an army to lure those small tribes to surrender voluntarily. Very soon, he conquered the entire plateau.
After harvesting the faith of more than 15 million northern border barbarians and more than 61,000 barbarian ancestral idols, the Wizard Li's faith crossed the Hardstone Plateau. At this point, only the Atandin Peninsula and the Songee Desert were left in the Green Leaf Mainland that Zhang Lisheng had yet to conquer.
The completion of the final conquest was already right in front of him, but Zhang Lisheng suddenly stopped in his footsteps. He planned to deal with a miscellaneous matter first, which was to meet the legendary alchemist Tandari who had developed the powerful artillery infantry squad for Dignity King.
According to the civilization level of the Shrimp World No. 2, the Yassen artillery infantry and the artillery used by this troop were just like the biological warships and god-bestowed shells used by the Hellfire barbarians. It was impossible for them to be produced naturally.
Since the Hellfire tribesmen had Zhang Lisheng, the god who used Earth's culture and a small amount of Atlantean technology to guide the progress of civilization, then it could be inferred that the person who created the cross-era artillery unit for the Yassen King was not just a small mortal alchemist master.
After all, the Yassen artillery infantry squad could completely suppress the same number of fully armed Wizard Li warriors wearing biological shells on the battlefield. If it was not for the fact that the cost of the infantry armor and artillery was too expensive that the mainland coalition forces could not equip them on a large scale, the result of the battle at the Gaoden Hill might have been a lose-lose situation for both sides.
It was difficult for other people to understand this, but Zhang Lisheng could naturally think of it. For this reason, not long after the battle of the Gaoden Hill that decided the fate of the Green Leaf Mainland ended, he suddenly rushed to Tandari's workshop located on the offshore island of the mainland, wanting to explore the trump card of this legendary alchemist.
Unfortunately, Tandari seemed to have expected that the Wizard Li God would come to visit in advance, so he had long disappeared without a trace.
Feeling helpless, Zhang Lisheng, who refused to give up, could only send an oracle to his own Holy See to look for this alchemist master who did not want to meet him.
After a few months of searching, there was no result at all. It was only until the young man had conquered the hinterland of the mainland and was ready to go to war on the Hardstone Plateau that he finally received news from Tuan that the secret agents of the Holy See had found the place where Tandari stayed.
Coincidentally, at the same time when he received this information, he had just seen the process of the Geguda tribe's elder summoning the projection of the ancestor idol and saw through the key to conquering the northern border barbarians.
After pondering over it, Zhang Lisheng's original plan was to go to the abandoned site of the Geguda tribe in the Hardstone Plateau to find a barbarian idol to test whether his idea was correct or not before capturing Tandari. However, to his surprise, the special effect of the barbarian ancestor idol that could perfect the Leather World and enhance his understanding of the divine power had completely attracted his attention.
At once, the Wizard Li God no longer cared about the legendary alchemist. He sent his believers to surround and capture Tandari, but he was afraid that he would not be able to subdue Tandari, who had some unknown secrets and who had some unknown existence behind him. Just like this, the matter was delayed.
Now that he had completed the conquest of the Hardstone Plateau, Zhang Lisheng naturally wanted to take some time to meet the mysterious founder of the Yasen artillery infantry squad. However, to his surprise, before he left, an unexpected person suddenly visited him …
The Tandari Peninsula was vast. Although it was called a peninsula, it was actually just a general term. It included two plains of more than 500,000 square kilometers and a basin with a diameter of thousands of miles. Only the two sides of the island were facing the sea.
The vast area and special geographical environment led to the changeable climate here. However, due to the fact that the land was fertile, even the harshest area was like a paradise compared to the neighboring Hardstone Plateau.
In a huge animal skin tent at the northern end of the Hardstone Plateau, Zhang Lisheng, who had already boarded the airship, sat cross-legged on a long animal skin blanket. Looking at a young man who was wearing dirty linen clothes and dressed like a down-and-out traveling merchant respectfully kneeling on the ground in front of him, a playful smile appeared on his face as he said, "Knight Yeegan, no, I should call you King Sagan now.
What's the matter for you to come see me in such a hurry? "
