"Gods rely on faith to exist. If they lose their faith, they will lose their power, and their godly virtues will not increase. Such a god is equivalent to death … It's the same for the current gods. Although they won't die like the gods, they won't have the power of a god. They will just be an ordinary human being."
"Actually, I'm not a current god anymore because there are no believers in the Fantasy Village."
"But you still have power."
"Of course, because I'm the descendant of a god. I have secret skills passed down from generation to generation. I can also obtain the divine power of Lord Kanako and Lord Naruko. In this aspect, I'm even stronger than when I was in the outside world," Zao Miao said with a smile.
The Lord Kanako and Lord Naruko she mentioned were the two gods of the Shouya Shrine. Originally, they lived in the outside world because of the lack of faith, so their power gradually weakened. In the Fantasy Village, they collected the faith of the monsters and gradually began to recover their peak power. Even Zao Miao's strength was buffed.
"If that's the case, then it's strange …" Tang Hao frowned slightly and said honestly, "Actually, my situation is similar to yours. I can't accept other people's faith. According to your theory, I shouldn't be able to use the power of a god, but I can still talk to the cat. What's going on?"
He had collected some faith in the world of Noyogami, but after leaving that world, he could not hear the voices of his believers, so he could not accept their faith. In theory, his status as a god only existed in name.
However, after repeated verification by Amethyst, his ability to talk to animals was indeed the power of a god.
Tang Hao had asked Night Sea God about this, but the latter could not answer.
"Hmm …" Zao Miao thought for a while and said seriously, "If what you said is true, then you shouldn't be among the eight million gods. You're not formed by pure faith, but an original god like Lord Kanako."
"An original god?"
Tang Hao was stunned again.
An original god was a god that did not need faith. Although gathering faith could still increase one's power, they would not die even if they lost faith. To put it simply … they were the true spiritual seeds of a god!
How was it possible that he was a spiritual seed of a god?
"But didn't I really become a god through faith?"
"But this is not contradictory." Zao Miao explained, "Sometimes, the boundaries between the Original Gods and the Gods of Faith are blurred. The Original Gods can increase their power by collecting faith, and the Gods of Faith can become a real God Spirit Seed. Of course, this is under the premise that they become very powerful. In fact, even when Lord Lan Wanzi was at his strongest, he couldn't become a Original God."
"So, my situation is still considered a special case?" Tang Hao clearly did not think that his current strength could be compared to that of Shiroshiki.
"Yes, it's a special case." Zao Miao did not look surprised at all. She smiled and said, "After all, fantasy land is a place that is not bound by common sense. You have to get used to it."
Ah, such a cute smile, I want to protect this smile …
No, no, I don't have the time to care about Zao Miao's smile. The problem is, I'm not from Fantasy Village … Wait, if I'm not bound by common sense, isn't the chatroom more exaggerated than Fantasy Village?
Is it because I joined the chatroom that caused some kind of qualitative change?
Tang Hao looked at the girl in front of him again. Even if he asked her, he probably would not get an answer. He did not know if Amethyst knew about it, but the old woman was very tight-lipped. Even if she knew, she might not say anything. So, he still had to rely on himself to find out?
Then, he should sort it out a little … He was a useless God, a God of Faith, and possibly an Original God at the same time.
From an ordinary person to an Original God, although he might be the most useless kind, no one was born invincible. Even Old Lady Purple must have had a period like Baby Purple, Young Purple, Little Purple, and True Purple. Then, maybe he could also try to increase the strength of the God Spirit Seed …
Tang Hao did not have this knowledge, but there was the best teacher in front of him. No matter how he looked at it, Zao Miao, who was both a God and a descendant of a God, was the most suitable person to teach him this knowledge.
Although this teacher was younger than him.
Maybe they could even develop a teacher-student relationship …
Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
"Then, how should I unearth my power as a God?" Tang Hao asked immediately.
"Hmm …" Zao Miao tilted her head. "I'm not very good at this. If only Master Kanako was here …"
"No, no, no, I just want you to teach me!"
Tang Hao put his palms together, his face full of sincerity. "Please, Master Zao Miao!"
"Master Zao Miao?!" Zao Miao's eyes instantly lit up, her face filled with faint excitement. Ever since she entered the Fantasy Village, she had not collected any faith from anyone. Could it be … could it be that she was going to receive her first faith from a human today?
This was an opportunity!
If she could do it, even Master Kanako and Master Sui Wanzi would look at her in a different light.
Thinking of this, the girl's blood surged, and her originally weak face suddenly became strong.
"Alright, since you're asking for guidance so sincerely, it would be impolite of me to refuse. Come with me!"
Was it an illusion?
Tang Hao blinked, feeling as if Zao Miao was suddenly burning up. Also … what a man!
As expected of Master Miao!
…
"First, about the secret arts of the gods …"
A moment later, in one of the classrooms of the shrine, Haomiao was holding a pointer that she had found somewhere. She was knocking on the blackboard while explaining to Tang Hao the relevant knowledge of the gods.
After a full ten minutes, Tang Hao did not understand a single word. He raised his hand weakly. "Master Zao Miao, can we start from the basics?"
"Oh right, you're just a beginner, so you might not understand the deeper knowledge. So, let's start from making talismans. After all, weak gods like us need talismans to channel their divine power, whether it's using secret arts or praying."
Zao Miao took out two blank talismans, one for herself and one for Tang Hao.
"The making of the talismans must have a pattern drawn on it. Although in principle, any pattern is fine because we're using our own divine power, I'm used to drawing stars. You should draw stars with me … Do you know how to draw little stars?"
"Aiya, you can't draw it like this. You have to focus, I'll teach you."
"Aiya, wrong, wrong. Your lines are all crooked. You can't channel divine power like this …"
"You're so stupid. How can you not even draw a star …"
"You're so stupid. You're the worst student I've ever taught!"
