Chapter 365: Even without a body of faith, I am still myself (Please subscribe and read on)

In the process of sensing the light ball, Jiang Mo discovered that there were obvious differences in the power provided by different believers. The most steadfast and devout believers in him were three times stronger than those who blindly worshipped him.

Ordinary faith is the watershed between the two, equivalent to the '1' in 2, 3, and 2;
At present, Jiang Mo controls 60% of the power of faith, 30% of ordinary faith, and 10% of wavering faith.
The closer they get to the inside of the sphere, the brighter and whiter the light becomes. Jiang Mo has a right to know their memories that is almost equal to their own.

As the epidemic continued to spread outward and faith weakened, obtaining information became increasingly difficult and vague.

The light composed of "shaken faith" covering the surface of the sphere was white with gray. Jiang Mo's perception of them was limited to their names, appearances, and voices.

In addition, at the edge of this layer of gray-white light, there are wisps of thin black air, which constantly corrode those "wavering faiths" and offset each other.

Jiang Mo used his true Qi to attract the black air to come closer for observation. Countless slanders, insults, attached with vicious hatred and curses, came overwhelmingly.

The filth of blasphemy.

A force that is completely opposite to the power of faith.

In the chapters of ancient books, there is a brief description pointing out that this kind of substance born from negative emotions has no benefit to the person who is contaminated, but will continue to weaken the power of faith.

Jiang Mo's eyes stayed on the black air, and many noisy and chaotic voices emerged from the depths of his mind.

Some awakened people regard him as a war butcher and a killing machine, and use all the harsh words to accuse him of disregarding the laws of nature and intensifying the conflict between the awakened and humans;
If we dig deeper into the reasons, it is nothing more than that their relatives, people they admired, and people they respected all left their hometowns, joined the devil's den, and died tragically at the hands of Jiang Mo overnight. These awakened people could not swallow this resentment, so they criticized him from the perspective of justice.

There were believers of various gods and Buddhas of the old times who hated him to the core because he had taken away the light of those gods, damaged their lofty status under the throne, and affected their profit-making. They prayed to the heavens and the gods and Buddhas day and night, begging them to bring down divine punishment and put an end to Jiang Mo, the "false god" who deceived the world and stole his reputation.

These people are submissive and know that the prototypes of the gods and Buddhas they believe in had died a thousand, two thousand years ago, or even more. Yet they still pretend that there are gods around them, hypnotizing themselves and strengthening their subconscious suggestions that the gods and Buddhas are in the immortal palace above the nine heavens, which they cannot see or touch, and silently overlooking everything in the world.

On the one hand, they were worried that miracles would not be seen, which would lead to a decrease in the number of believers;

On the other hand, he was worried that his curse might be sensed by Jiang Mo through unknown means, thus bringing disaster upon himself.

Due to various concerns, these stubborn believers of the old times never dared to go too far.

Those ordinary people who have not been truly affected by the war are the ones who speculate about Jiang Mo with the most sinister and fearful mentality. Even if they only account for one in ten thousand, that is still more than one hundred thousand people.

The filth of blasphemy released by them was dozens of times the sum of the previous two, reaching an outrageous level.

They were afraid and jealous of Jiang Mo's power, and feared that this human-shaped nuclear weapon might get out of control one day and endanger their survival.

Coupled with their natural rebellious mentality, they need to make choices that are different from the majority in order to demonstrate their rationality and clarity. Therefore, these people most hope that Jiang Mo will fall from the altar and be trampled and scolded by the people.

In just a short moment, Jiang Mo came into contact with more than a dozen blasphemous stains.

These mysterious substances mixed with resentment had no effect on his body. They seemed to have a strong corrosive effect only on the power of faith and objects tempered by the power of faith.

"Drawing on the power of incense and vows, shaping the divine body, nurturing the body of faith, immortal and indestructible, living forever in the world."

There was a rustling sound of pages turning in the ancient book, and Jiang Mo's eyes slowly swept over the scribbled handwriting.

The author of this book is unknown. He has traveled around the world, met with one master after another, visited Buddha statues and divine sculptures in various places, and sorted out clues from various fragmentary folk legends, and finally found an unknown path of practice.

The power of incense is real and has great benefits for the human body. It gathers the will of all living beings and turns into clear spring water to nourish the body, cleanse the marrow and bones, and make one transcend the ordinary and become a saint. This is called a 'divine body' and the upper limit of lifespan will be greatly extended.

Or you can forge the power of faith into your life-long weapon, making it invincible and ruling the world.

The most mysterious way to use it is to peel off a part of your own consciousness and completely merge it with the power of faith, giving birth to a body of faith that is almost the same as the original body.

Unfortunately, the writer of this ancient book was never able to reach the level of a terrestrial immortal throughout his entire life.

He did many good deeds, including suppressing bandits, liberating wandering ghosts, and saving batch after batch of refugees suffering from famine and war. He was admired, worshipped, and worshipped by them, and a temple was built for him.

Despite this, on the day when his life ended at the age of 136, he, who had witnessed the power of faith in some gods, still could not wait for his own power of faith to be generated, and could only feel it vaguely.

He felt regretful and sad at the end of his life, thinking that he was born at the wrong time and could not accomplish his great cause.

The reason was that the population was sparse in that era. Even if he spent decades of his time, the number of believers he gained was no more than ten thousand, which was far from enough to gather the power of faith.

At the end of the ancient book, this sage continued to describe the method of casting the body of faith, and wrote about some potential risks without any hesitation.

The more Jiang Mo looked at it, the more he resisted believing in it. The situation predicted by the senior coincided with the hidden dangers he had guessed.

The body of faith needs to be nurtured with consciousness as the core. The fatal point is that the consciousness wrapped in thousands of wishes will continue to change, and will be out of the control of the original body to form a new life.

After the original owner dies of natural causes, the body of faith will not be affected. As long as the incense exists, it will exist, achieving an alternative kind of immortality and becoming a so-called god.

There are two types of gods: true gods and false gods.

The former is a body of faith created by the original owner to protect believers. His strength is almost the same as the original owner. Even if he dies accidentally while slaying demons and the power of faith dissipates, it will not affect the lives of the original owner and believers.

According to the traditional practice, those who have cultivated to the level of immortals on earth will never allow their "true gods" to continue.

They cannot predict what the gods will do after death, so they usually refine and disintegrate the true gods in their later years, when they can still control the situation, and let the power of faith attached to them dissipate on its own.

The evil gods are the passive products after the original owners and true gods died one after another.

The statues of gods and Buddhas enshrined in temples scattered all over the place have gradually developed their own consciousness after hundreds of years of incense and worship. They have begun to frantically devour all the faith they can absorb to strengthen themselves.

This kind of gods are very evil, some are good and some are bad, and their personalities and memories are determined by the complex information provided by believers.

“God is man, God is man-made.”

Unconsciously, Jiang Mo finished reading the last sentence of the ancient book and gained a general understanding of how to use the power of faith.

However, even if the power of faith continued to surge, he did not intend to forge a body of faith, rely on faith to temper his body, and refine weapons.

The nature of mutual generation and restraint between faith and blasphemy means that this external force is destined to be extremely unstable. It depends entirely on millions or tens of millions of believers. If the faith collapses one day, the accumulated cultivation will be nothing but a pipe dream.

Jiang Mo never thought that the power he suddenly gained would be stronger than the strength he had gained step by step. In fact, if he kept this power in his body, the incense and the power of his wishes would increase. The thoughts of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of believers might have a subtle influence on him at some point.

Over an increasingly long period of time, it eventually completes the mental parasitism and fundamentally changes him from the inside out.

Jiang Mo doesn't need to be believed in, and doesn't want to respond.

"Wow——!"

He was very decisive. His figure disappeared from the spot and he used secret techniques to jump a straight distance of 14,000 kilometers to North Kole Island.

Affected by different time zones, it is still sunset here, with a gentle breeze and sparkling sea water.

"Boom!"

Jiang Mo grasped the ball of light with his bare hands, and suddenly a terrifying force burst out from his five fingers, destroying millions of beliefs and hundreds of thousands of blasphemous filths attached to them, shattering them into pieces without leaving any residue.

White light shot straight into the sky, as dazzling as a nuclear explosion.

The power of millions of faiths erupted at the moment of destruction, shaking the heaven and earth. Along the coast of the island, large areas of land shook and sank.

Afterwards, Jiang Mo activated the Ancient Dao True Fire, one of the Five Qi Magical Powers, and occupied the spiritual platform of his eyebrows.

Faith from all corners of the world was constantly refreshed there, but now the spring is blocked by the golden flame and not even a trace can penetrate.

When we returned to the sect, it was already past 3 in the morning.

There are hundreds of bonfires gathered at the foot of the mountain, and more and more tourists come here to see the immortals.

Jiang Mo took a look and waved his hand. The Tianheng Gu set up a repulsive field nearby, which perfectly matched the outer edge of the protective formation. It drove out all the awakened people and strange people lurking in the mountains and forests, and then ignored them.

Late at night, when the younger generations all went to rest, Jiang Mo sat in the courtyard in front of the palace, drinking slightly cool tea and opening his tablet to check overseas news.

During the two months he disappeared, the situation in the United States, across the ocean, changed dramatically.

60% of the humans in the territory were successfully transformed, and the number of level 4 awakeners soared to 150. Wars continued between continents, destroying the original order.

The new human leaders from multiple continents, with hundreds of thousands of awakened people, launched a war against the old humans and annexed nearly one-third of the territory.

Their victories lasted until late May, when they suffered a sudden defeat.

The Behemoth headquarters in New York mobilized 12 Level 36 Awakeners, including 4 original apostles, to launch a purge of rebels from all sides. In just a few days, as many as 4 Level 67 Awakeners were slaughtered, and countless Level 3 ones.

This is the end.

The dream of the awakened ones to create a new human kingdom and cover the whole world was completely shattered. The super-powered corps affiliated with the United States, with the assistance of Behemoth's elite, recovered the lost continents one by one.

The demons that had previously taken root in the upper echelons of power had long been purged, losing the soil for their parasitism, and power had once again returned to the hands of humans.

By early June, the war was over and all the rebels had been suppressed with the harshest force.

At the same time, the controller behind Behemoth, under some kind of coercion, had to reach an unknown deal with the United States to launch a mass-produced brain chip, which is similar to the ability lock of the ancient oriental country, and exerts more control over the awakened people.

The rumor circulating on the internet was that a level 5 awakener was born in the New York Supernatural Management Bureau, who turned the tide and ended the chaotic war.

Although the awakener is currently in an unstable state, his ability far exceeds that of all level 4 awakeners. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction attack.

Jiang Mo continued browsing. It was hard to tell whether most of the news was true or false, so he just glanced at it roughly without delving into it too deeply.

Except for the United States, other countries have different trump cards to deal with the rebellious awakeners.

It is only a matter of time before the war is settled and order is restored.

The foundations of those awakened ones are too shallow, they have not yet been promoted to level 5, and they cannot shake the state machine that monopolizes billions of resources.

On June 6, the Ability Lock was officially launched.

The senior officials of the Security Council are responsible for performing official duties in the cities within the major jurisdictions, and all awakened people, regardless of their level, must be supervised to wear it.

Under the search of the superpower detector, every corner of the city has been searched, and no awakened person can escape supervision.

Even in some desolate and wild natural areas, drones carrying detectors are flying over for monitoring to ensure no omissions.

Of course, those who wanted to escape and had the ability to escape had already escaped long ago. They were generally level 3-4 awakeners, and it would not be easy to discover them if they sneaked out of the country alone.

In addition, the scientific researchers of the Ninth Department, escorted by several vice presidents of the Security Council, went to every city in the country to modify and upgrade Class B and Class C mechas.

They installed the most powerful, widest-range, and latest version of supernatural power detector on the mecha.

At the same time, the strong men of the Security Council also set up new supernatural monitoring towers in various places in the city to provide real-time feedback to the mechas stationed in the central area.

The power lock can take the wearer's biological information and mark them. The awakened person who is not wearing the power lock will be detected at the first time and will have no place to hide.

Under the advance notice of the Security Council, the Level 4 and Level 3 awakeners who were willing to accept supervision went to the Security Council headquarters first to accept the wearing of the ability locks. The team was so long that it was estimated that there were to people.

On this day, a total of one million power locks were distributed, and there were more than 26 million awakeners waiting to wear them.

Building a monitoring tower, upgrading the mecha, and completing the awakener's ability lock wearing are all time-consuming engineering projects. The first two are estimated to take half a year, and the latter will probably be completed by the end of the month.

Thanks to the overt suppression of Jiang Mo and the three presidents, there has not been a single new rebellion by awakeners in the country in the past half month.

　First day of leave, 2 updates are due, will be made up after the typhoon
