218: Shinto civilization, meat fields

"The Shinto Civilization Legacy spans 80,000 years, and its extraordinary power is subtly one to two tiers higher than Earth's."

Seeing Yang Dian's curious gaze, Lin Mo pointed to the seabed, signaling to continue descending, and continued, "The Legacy I received is the Water God's Legacy."

"According to the Legacy, accumulating the Power Of Faith from a million people for three hundred years is enough to unleash a super tsunami, hundreds of miles long and thousands of meters high."

"However, a god's power is a rootless source."

"Once power is consumed, it cannot recover on its own. It requires devotees to pray and offer sacrifices day and night, providing Power Of Faith. Only after purifying this Power Of Faith into Divine Power can it become the power a god uses."

"This is a god's only weakness."

"Besides this, gods also have advantages like eternal life."

"Even for wild gods with only a few hundred followers, there has never been a report of them dying due to the exhaustion of their lifespan."

"As long as someone believes, a god will not die of old age."

"Gods all die after their faith perishes."

Yang Dian calculated in his head.

A million people's faith for three hundred years could trigger a massive tsunami.

If a hundred million people believed, the time could be shortened a hundredfold, only taking 3 years to possess such power.

If the number of believers exceeded a billion, it would only take a little over three months, roughly 110 days, to master such extraordinary power.

Yang Dian now understood why Lin Mo had consistently insisted on not reporting the information.

Once the Divine Dao Inheritance was leaked and obtained by certain individuals in the country, those people would truly want to become gods.

Especially those older individuals, eager to extend their lives in the extraordinary era and hoping for eternal life in the future, would truly go mad for it.

As for the consequences of letting those people grasp the Divine Dao Inheritance?

It would likely involve deluding the populace, then treating all living beings as cattle and sheep, leaving them no chance to ever rise up.

As Yang Dian pondered, Lin Mo continued, "As for the existence that destroyed the Shinto Civilization, I don't know what kind of existence it was."

"There isn't much information left in the Legacy."

"It only mentioned that they encountered a dead and barren world."

"By the time the spatial node stabilized, and before those gods could even invade that world, the ordinary people of the Shinto world began to die first."

"A mysterious death, with no discernible reason."

"In just five short years, all life ceased. Except for a few powerful gods who were still alive, all life in the entire world succumbed to death."

"You've seen the final result."

"The invasion failed and was reversed, the world was severed, and most of the land was folded into Small Worlds and grotto-heavens, captured by that dead world."

"A very small portion, like this underwater ruin, fell into the dimensional rift and only dropped onto Earth after an unknown number of years."

Yang Dian gulped: "It's fake, right?"

"A civilization that lasted 80,000 years just vanished silently like that?"

"Without even knowing who the opponent was?"

Lin Mo sighed: "I wish it were fake."

"But this is the information left in the Legacy."

As he spoke, the two had already reached the seabed, standing before a somewhat dilapidated group of temples.

Entering the temple, Lin Mo first approached the half-broken statue of the Sea God, which lay on the ground.

He tapped the red mole on the statue's forehead, then plucked it off and tossed it to Yang Dian: "This is a Meat Field Seed. Whether or not to plant it is up to your discussion."

Taking the walnut-sized 'Meat Field Seed,' Yang Dian curiously asked, "What is a Meat Field Seed?"

Lin Mo, leading Yang Dian towards the back of the temple, began to explain: "Any field used to grow crops is called a field, but if you break it down, fields can actually be divided into many types."

"For example, paddy fields for rice, wheat fields for wheat, vegetable plots..."

"A meat field is a field used to grow meat."

"As long as the Meat Field Seed is planted, the land will transform into a field that grows meat, centered around the Meat Field."

"The Meat Field absorbs Earth Qi to grow. Once the seed is planted, the Earth Qi around the Meat Field will be absorbed by it, meaning the surrounding land will become desertified."

"The larger the desertified area, the better the quality of the meat grown in the Meat Field."

Yang Dian pushed the thought of the barren world that destroyed the Shinto world to the back of his mind, looking at the Meat Field Seed in his hand and curiously asked, "So if you plant it in the desert, what kind of meat will grow?"

Lin Mo glanced at Yang Dian: "What? You want to exploit a bug?"

"There isn't much Earth Qi in the desert. Even if you plant the Meat Field there, it will only produce the lowest quality meat."

He pondered for a moment before concluding: "Meat similar to pork."

"That's still very amazing," Yang Dian exclaimed, then asked, "What level of meat can be produced in the most powerful kind of Meat Field?"

Lin Mo flipped through the Legacy in his mind for a while before saying: "Without Divine Power nourishment, a Meat Field can only consume Earth Qi within a maximum of ten thousand square kilometers."

"The meat grown in such a Meat Field, a thin slice of it, can keep an ordinary person full for three days."

"Eating it long-term can also strengthen the body and is the main food for gods' Divine Guards."

"The combat power displayed by Divine Guards is equivalent to a Martial Artist in the Qi Blood Smoke Realm."

"It takes approximately 3 years to Cultivate an ordinary person with good Aptitude into a Divine Guard."

Yang Dian, playing with the somewhat springy Meat Field Seed, wondered where best to plant it: "If it's planted in a place rich in Earth Qi, can it increase the Meat Field's yield and the quality of the meat?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, but the effect isn't very significant."

"Unless you find something like a Spiritual Vein, otherwise, just plant it in ordinary soil."

Yang Dian nodded thoughtfully.

If the Meat Field were planted in the Dimension Crystal Mine on the Alien Planet, it might be a good choice.

Unfortunately, he couldn't enter the Alien Planet now; he'd probably get struck by lightning if he did.

"Then, Captain, after the Meat Field is planted, can it produce new Meat Field Seeds?"

"We have 1.4 billion people in Huaxia, and the organization will soon encourage childbirth."

"One Meat Field doesn't seem like enough."

"It can," Lin Mo replied, then changed his tone: "But the Meat Field needs to be nourished by Divine Power to produce seeds."

Yang Dian rubbed his brow: "So, this god, someone absolutely has to become one, right?"

In an instant, several individuals came to Yang Dian's mind.

Sun Yuwei, who had grown pure white wings and could now condense a halo above her head.

Chen Jie, who cultivated the Western Knight's Dao and could also control Holy Light.

And that Blue-Ringed Octopus with over 10 eyes.

Anyway, the gods in Western legends were all sorts of different kinds.

There were human-shaped angels with wings and halos, big-eyed angels from the Bible, and human-like Saints who descended.

"If even these can become gods through faith, who dares say that the orthodox God is not in the East?..."
