Since it contained powerful life force, it naturally had a powerful healing effect.
However, this was only the elementary application. The advanced application of the Seed of Life was resurrection. When he became a totem overlord, the Seed of Life would have the resurrection function. This resurrection function was much more powerful than ordinary resurrection spells. Compared to the limited resurrection divine art, the advanced Seed of Life could resurrect any being perfectly. Even a remnant soul could be replenished and resurrected perfectly.
Activating this talent required an ancient branch with powerful life force. It was not limited to the type of tree, as long as it was an ancient tree with powerful life force.
If he was in the Totem World, Lin Xiao would not know where to find such a thing even if he ran out of legs. However, with Yan Huang War Zone No. 5 behind him, this was not a problem.
In Commander Xie Tianyan's words, as long as it was related to this operation, all of his requests would be fulfilled. Even if he wanted to use his position for personal gain, he would still be satisfied.
To a superpower like Zero Wing, everything it asked for right now was nothing, even if it asked for something it thought was excessive. Moreover, this request was for the sake of this event, so it wouldn't have any objections.
Before long, a branch that looked fresh and green appeared in the Rubik's Cube. After he took it out, a sense of freshness filled with life force assaulted his senses.
This was a fresh branch from an adult Tree of Life. It had not even been half a day since he plucked it.
A fresh branch from an adult Tree of Life completely fulfilled the requirements of activating the second talent.
After refining the branch, the thin life force surged into the totem's shadow. It mixed with the power of faith that replaced Mental Energy and slowly activated the second talent.
The second talent was successfully activated. Unfortunately, he could not try it out. The Seed of Life could not be born overnight. Moreover, he was not strong enough now. It would take him a month or two to produce a Seed of Life.
Next was the third talent: Seed of Essence.
The effect of this talent was that the roots of the ancient Golden Tree could decompose anything into nutrients and absorb them. Then, they would convert them into essence and store them as Seed of Essence.
For example, if he absorbed a huge iron mine, he would be able to produce fruits of steel with 100% purity.
If he absorbed a large number of corpses, he would be able to produce fruits of flesh with 100% purity.
Moreover, he could also control whether the fruits were 100% pure flesh and blood, or whether they contained all kinds of beneficial nutrients. This was up to him.
Activating the third talent required materials produced in various extreme environments to be refined. Only after refining a total of 99 Essence Seeds would it be considered complete.
This step consumed a lot of resources and time. There was no lack of resources, but there was no way to speed up the process of producing ninety-nine seeds of essence. He could only wait.
Lighting up two talents only used up less than 1% of the power of faith that had been accumulated in Dale's Cathedral for thousands of years. It was estimated that lighting up all five talents and becoming an official totem user would only require less than 10% of the power. This wave of power of faith was enough for him to use for a long time after he became an official totem user.
Even if it was possible to become a Totem Lord in one go …
Alright, it might not be enough to level up to a Totem Lord. I might have to accumulate some more, or plunder the power of faith from another cathedral.
In the following days, Lin Xiao stayed in the cathedral every day to absorb all kinds of extreme substances sent by his true body. Meanwhile, the outside world was also in turmoil. After Alphonso pacified many forces, he led his army out of the city to battle the Holy Church Knights led by Bartos outside Dale City. They completely defeated the Holy Knights in a direct battle. Alphonso personally defeated the Grand Knight Bartos and captured most of the Holy Knights.
After Bartos was defeated, all voices of resistance in Dale Province disappeared. Many nobles sent messengers to acknowledge Alphonso's occupation of Dale City.
Of course, this was only the recognition of the local lords. To legally replace Earl Dyson, they would have to send messengers to the capital to seek the Queen's approval.
However, this was not a big problem. Alphonso had used his strength to defeat Earl Dyson. He was already the true owner of Dale City. Her Majesty the Queen who was far away in the capital could not send troops to attack. She could only acknowledge it.
The only problem was the Holy Church's obstruction. The Church's hidden influence was huge and could influence many nobles and ministers of the kingdom. When the time came, they would definitely try to stop him. It would be troublesome to confirm it.
However, they were already the true owners of Dale City. No matter how much they tried to stop him, they would only be stalling for time. If they wanted to stop him, they would have to send troops to attack.
Even if the Church had this idea, it would take at least half a year to gather materials, gather troops, and march a long distance.
In fact, it was hard to say whether they could do so. The most likely possibility was that they would turn back halfway.
This was because the Holy Church had a fixed amount of military power in each parish. It was impossible for them to have more military power than the local lord. This was especially so in the capital. The Church had less military power than the other provinces. The main reason was that the royal family did not allow it.
Therefore, if the Holy Church wanted to attack the Church of Life and Wisdom, they would have to send messengers to contact the parishes in the other provinces. They would then gather the military power of several parishes in a certain place and attack together.
This process would take half a year. It was possible that they would not be able to gather all their forces even after half a year.
Therefore, no matter how bad the situation was, they would still have half a year to digest their current territory and prepare.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Xiao had considered. Now that the Elemental Tide was gradually surging, the spiritual energy was beginning to recover, and the awakening of the Planar Will caused the restrictions of the world's laws to slowly loosen. The Divine God could be born at any time. There was not much time left for Lin Xiao to develop. He had to expand his territory as much as possible before the Divine God was born.
As long as his territory was large enough, he would have enough believers and elite troops. He would be able to defend the territory he had conquered and develop steadily.
Then, according to Lin Xiao's instructions, Alphonso didn't wait for the royal capital's orders to be issued. Acting as the actual ruler of Dell Province, he ordered all the suzerains in Dell Province to send some militia over according to their rank.
Ten barons and thirty viscounts. He did not need knights. There were still a dozen barons and viscounts left in Dale Province. In total, he had gathered two hundred and thirty able-bodied militia.
He would then train them together with the captives he had captured and the existing troops.
When they attacked Dale City, they had gathered a total of seven to eight hundred people. Previously, when Count Dyson was defending Dale City, he had a total of two thousand people. Some had died in battle, some had escaped, and some had gotten rid of the older ones. There were about one thousand three hundred people left.
After the battle with Bartos' Knights of the Holy Church, they captured another six hundred people. In total, there were about one thousand and six hundred people.
Although they were in a mess, it was fine as long as the heads were here.
According to a set of standard training methods, he set up a concentration camp. Everyone was mixed together and trained while being brainwashed.
He planned to train them for two to three months. He would first brainwash them and establish a stable faith. Only then would he begin to strengthen them on a large scale.
Apart from that, he also mobilized a large number of paladins and Knights of the Holy Church to establish a dozen missions to preach in the various territories of Dale Province. He used the original churches of the Holy Church to quickly take over the empty faith left by the Holy Church.
Unlike the Holy Church, they did not only spread their faith to towns, but also to villages.
They received some local clergymen of the Holy Church and had them preach in the various villages.
While Lin Xiao was boldly training and digesting the faith of Dale Province, the entire plane was in turmoil. A large number of Descended Ones began to stir up trouble after their initial dormant preparations. From time to time, they would receive news of the appearance of a God or Church.
Among them, the strongest was naturally the Child of the Spiritual Realm, Deng Nuolan, who possessed a high-level relic that could ignore the world's restrictions and display supernatural powers. Long before Lin Xiao, he had already taken down the capital of another empire's province. At this time, he had already eliminated all resistance and officially occupied the province.
Apart from that, the strongest only had a territory equivalent to a viscount's territory. He was currently fighting with the surrounding forces.
Apart from Lin Xiao and Deng Nuolan, the other Descended Ones had similar beginnings. Without any cheats, their development would not be fast.
Unfortunately, the ninety-nine Descended Ones were scattered across the entire plane. On average, there were less than ten Descended Ones in each kingdom. Lin Xiao could already be considered to have met three Descended Ones in Dale Province. Under normal circumstances, each province would only have one or two Descended Ones.
Time slowly passed as the various forces in the capital wrangled with each other and the Holy Church digested the Dale Province's territory.
In just two months, more than one thousand and three hundred captives had been brainwashed. Lin Xiao personally confirmed that all of them had established a line of faith with him. All of them were True Believers and above. Even the deathsworn that the Holy Church had trained since young had changed their faith in front of the supernatural miracles that he constantly displayed.
It had to be said that using supernatural means to preach in a plane without magic was too shameless. Even the most devout believer would not be able to endure seeing such miracles every day. Moreover, these deathsworn that had been brainwashed since young had changed their faith after witnessing the miracles, their faith would become even more devout. At the very least, the captive knights of the Holy Church had become devout believers after changing their faith. A large number of them were fanatics.
It was worth mentioning that the captain of the Holy Church's knights, Bartos, had also changed his faith after Roland personally showed him the miracles. His faith was especially devout.
Following that, Lin Xiao began to appear in the army camp as a God's messenger. He began to strengthen the believer soldiers on a large scale.
Unknowingly, four months had passed. The matter of Alfonso asking for the substitute Earl Dyson had yet to come to a conclusion.
Just as he had expected, Her Majesty the Empress had wanted to agree after receiving Alfonso's pledge of loyalty. However, the Holy Church's influence was too great. A large number of nobles and ministers objected, so the matter was in a stalemate. Until now, no conclusion had been reached.
Apart from that, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy Church's diocese in the Noer Kingdom had secretly communicated with the Archbishops of the various provinces. The Holy Church's military forces were frequently mobilized. The movements were so large that most of the nobles in the kingdom felt that something was wrong.
