85: Chapter 85: Combat Power of 90 Million! The Great Unveiling of the Faith Totem!

"System, open the global attribute panel!"

"Ding! Holographic panel expanded..."

[Deity: Lin Feng]

[Divine Profession: Chaos Overlord]

[Divine Rank: Tier 6 Deity (Promoting to Tier 7 requires 100 million combat power, plus one Tier 7 core for each of the five basic attributes)]

[Divine Domain Area: 34 million square kilometers (Wasteland 20%, Grassland 10%, Ancient Forest 15%, Mountains 10%, Lava 5%, Ocean 30%, Glacier 10%)]

[Resources: Tens of thousands of spirit veins (including 40,000 top-grade spirit veins), hundreds of thousands of herb fields (including 110,000 top-grade herb gardens), one Flame Volcano, one Treasure Basin]

[Faith Kin: 24,122 Taotie sub-bodies (Tier 4), 43 Tier 4 mutant leaders, 1,128 Tier 3 leaders, 108,896 Tier 2 mutants, over 3.7 million Tier 1 mutants, 11.1 billion Tier 0 cannon fodder]

[Tribal Forces: 37 large tribes (none have a faith affiliation)]

[Core Lords: Taotie (Tier 7), Baize (Tier 7), Zhulong (Tier 7), Phoenix (Tier 6), Pixiu (Tier 7)]

[Divine Privilege: Absolute Devour (Tier 5), Immunity to All Evil (Tier 5), Time Stop (Tier 4), Nirvana Rebirth (Tier 3), Heavenly Auspiciousness (Tier 3)]

[Comprehensive Combat Power: 89,770,000]

[Divine Power Reserve: 77,890,000 (1 drop of divine power converted daily for every 5 points of combat power)]

[Time Flow Rate: 1 to 500 (Adjustable)]

[Backpack: One heart of the ocean resource card, one Tier 7 Metal-element core, one Tier 7 Water-element core, one Tier 7 Earth-element core, one Tier 8 Fire-element core.]

As both divine beasts stepped into Tier 7, Lin Feng's comprehensive combat power soared like a rocket, directly shooting up to the terrifying threshold of nearly 90 million!

By closing the gap with the final 10 million combat power, he would be able to assault the chasm of becoming a Tier 7 Deity.

Of course, the prerequisite was to find a way to collect the five basic attribute cores.

He currently had the Metal, Water, and Earth Tier 7 crystals stockpiled.

He only needed to obtain the Wind and Fire Tier 7 cores to have all the materials gathered.

It sounded simple, but finding them was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

This time, it was sheer dumb luck that he managed to secure three Tier 7 crystals in one go.

According to the system's deep analysis, the ruined continent he explored yesterday was definitely higher than Tier 7 in its prime.

It likely originated from a higher-dimensional world that had slowly degraded and declined over long eons.

Otherwise, there was no explanation for why an 8th-tier Death Demon Worm would be lying inside.

To collect the remaining materials, he had no choice but to continue risking his life in the Outer Realm Battlefield.

General Yan Xiao had mentioned that in a few days, the military would organize a large force to encircle and suppress a super plane cluster.

Although this place was perilous, it definitely held many good things.

If he could collect the remaining two crystals inside, this expedition would be a perfect success.

Besides these, Lin Feng also noticed a new situation.

Within the Chaos Territory, various wild mutants had banded together and built over thirty large tribes.

There were all kinds, from the Mermaid race and Minotaur to the Deer-folk.

These tribes relied entirely on the strongest mutant leader to issue commands.

At first, Lin Feng couldn't be bothered with these indigenous creatures, but in the blink of an eye, they had grown larger and larger, and the number of tribes had surged to over thirty.

These indigenous leaders currently had no faith to cling to.

If one had to say, they only revered the high and mighty Lin Feng.

After all, Lin Feng was the sole ruler of this world.

"Ding! Kind reminder: Wild tribes can designate a beast from the 'classic of mountains and seas' as their faith totem!"

Just as he was pondering, the system's prompt popped up right on cue.

Designate a divine beast as a totem?

"Replying to the host: After establishing a faith totem, the faith power generated by the tribe will nourish the divine beast, significantly boosting the comprehensive combat power of both the divine beast and the host!"

"Since the current total number of tribes is low, it is recommended that the host wait until entering the Tier 7 Deity sequence before planning the totem faith uniformly!"

After listening to the system's detailed explanation, Lin Feng suddenly realized, his mind instantly becoming clear as a mirror.

Wasn't this just a carbon copy of the Great Xia Alliance's Starry Sky Divine Dragon!

They placed the Divine Dragon on a pedestal, letting billions of citizens across the country worship it.

In secret, the true god behind it was frantically harvesting faith nutrients!

At the same time, believers could borrow a sliver of the totem's power to fight.

The operating model was exactly the same!

Including the Red Sun Empire's Yamata no Orochi and the White Eagle Federation's White-headed Divine Eagle... they were all faith harvesters carved from the same mold!

The higher the deity's rank, the more the exclusive planes under their control felt like the creator of the Main World.

It was terrifying to think about. Lin Feng only felt his scalp tingle.

The underlying logic of this universe was just too dark and too complex.

Fortunately, he was a firm materialist warrior and had never knelt before these totems.

In the end, these worshipped guardian deities were nothing more than juniors in the 'classic of mountains and seas' catalog.

It seemed that only by breaking the limits and becoming a true god could he truly hold his destiny in his own hands and not be harvested like leeks by others.

However, for now, it was still too early to think about these things.

With insufficient tribe numbers, there was indeed no need to rush into establishing a faith system.

It wouldn't be too late to do it once he ascended to Tier 7 and the tribes under his command increased.

The top priority right now was still to get his hands on the remaining two Tier 7 cores.

Lin Feng helplessly rubbed his temples. He severed the neural connection, sat up from the sofa, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Just as he shoved a hot sandwich into his mouth, a noisy and ear-piercing shouting suddenly came from outside the mansion.

"Lin Feng! You coward, come out if you have the guts!"

Lin Feng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his milk and took a look outside. He immediately chuckled.

Standing outside the big iron gate, clamoring away, who else could it be but that second-generation heir, Zhao Tianao.
