95: Chapter 95: Faith, a Win-Win-Win Situation! Lin Feng's Panel Takes Off!

In the abyss, Taotie suddenly opened its two scarlet vertical pupils, which resembled blood-red suns.

Although it didn't understand what the Master was up to, it just needed to follow orders.

This peerless beast directly activated space leap, and its massive black body instantly air-dropped right in front of the Moon Shadow Wolf pack!

At the same time, the world-destroying pressure belonging to an ancient top-tier beast swept out like a tangible force.

The hundred-plus thousand Moon Shadow Wolves felt this irresistible pressure of death; terrified, their legs went weak, and they all prostrated themselves in the mud, letting out shrill wails.

Wolf packs only submit to the strong.

This submissive posture of prostration represented that they had thoroughly acknowledged Taotie's invincible status from the bottom of their bones.

"Ding! The Moon Shadow Wolf pack has voluntarily surrendered and has been officially converted into exclusive believers of Taotie!"

The system's notification sound rang out crisply.

Immediately after, Lin Feng watched in surprise.

The physical bodies of this group of Moon Shadow Wolves actually began to undergo strange mutations!

In the very center of their foreheads, blood-red Taotie totem marks began to faintly emerge!

Even their body sizes expanded by a small margin.

"Ding! The Moon Shadow Wolves have bound to the Taotie totem and have inherited a portion of the progenitor's extraordinary power!"

[The Moon Shadow Wolf's bite force has been significantly strengthened!]

[After the Moon Shadow Wolf consumes prey flesh, its energy absorption evolution speed is doubled!]

[The Moon Shadow Wolf has unlocked an extremely weak space leap talent!]

...

Lin Feng keenly captured it.

After the pack was branded with the totem, wisps of pure faith energy, invisible to the naked eye, drifted out from the tops of the hundred-plus thousand wolves and poured into Taotie's body like rivers flowing into the sea.

Having consumed this wave of faith reinforcement, the aura on Taotie actually rose by another notch!

The deeper the divine beast's foundation, the more magnificent Lin Feng's panel data became.

In other words, the more believers there were, the more terrifying Lin Feng's own strength became.

This was absolutely a perfect three-way win situation.

However, Lin Feng also noticed a detail.

The Taotie marks on the foreheads of these Moon Shadow Wolves varied in depth.

Some were so red they were almost black, as if deeply embedded into their bones and blood.

Others were just faint shadows.

"Ding! There is a distinction between the strength of faith power.

The purer the faith, the greater the energy fed back, and the more abnormal the totem blessing received."

Hearing the system's explanation, Lin Feng instantly realized.

This was the same principle as shallow believers, deep believers, and fanatical believers in religion.

The depth of faith was closely related to the species' development level, living environment, and even their intelligence level.

The higher the intelligence of a species, the more suspicious they were, and it was not easy to make them wholeheartedly believe in some inanimate object.

The Moon Shadow Wolf pack had simple minds, which conversely made it easier for them to develop deep faith.

...

Immediately after, Lin Feng moved his divine sense toward another population.

This was a Cervitaur tribe living by the lakeside.

Similar to centaurs, they had human upper bodies and deer legs.

The tribe was fully governed by a Tier 4 Cervitaur King.

These Cervitaurs usually lived in the lush, ancient forest, relying on poisoned wooden javelins to hunt small wild beasts.

Cervitaurs were gentle in nature and did not carry much murderous aura.

Arranging for Bai Ze to be the totem for these vegetarians was absolutely a match made in heaven.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and had an idea.

"Bai Ze, go and bestow blessings upon this group of Cervitaurs!"

Receiving the divine decree, Bai Ze immediately flapped its wings, hopping and floating above the Cervitaur tribe.

Looking at the beautiful auspicious beast emitting holy white light in the sky, all the Cervitaurs below were mesmerized.

In their simple eyes, the Tier 7 Bai Ze was the supreme deity bringing peace and hope!

"Ding! The Cervitaur tribe has developed a fanatical adoration for Bai Ze and has been converted into exclusive believers of Bai Ze!"

[The Cervitaurs have inherited a portion of the purification power and can self-dispel low-level negative status effects!]

[The Cervitaurs have inherited the auspicious beast's luck, and the tribe's overall luck value has been slightly increased!]

...

The system's broadcast sound rang out slowly.

Lin Feng clearly saw that on the shoulders of this group of Cervitaurs, golden Bai Ze formation patterns lit up one after another.

Wisps of faith light points floated up from the Cervitaurs and converged into Bai Ze's wings.

Among them, the Bai Ze mark on the shoulder of one Cervitaur javelin thrower was blindingly bright.

"Ding! A Cervitaur has developed extremely fanatical faith in Bai Ze and has automatically changed class to: Bai Ze Purifier!"

This... counts as spawning an elite monster?

Lin Feng was pleasantly surprised.

After this javelin thrower changed class to a fanatic, the faith power contributed by the individual increased by more than ten times.

Moreover, the inherited divine beast power was even more formidable.

It could even act as a missionary within the tribe, continuing to brainwash other kin and deepen the faith purity of the entire ethnic group.

Lin Feng also discovered an interesting phenomenon.

This group of Cervitaurs was different from the Moon Shadow Wolves sleeping in the wilderness.

They actually had their own fixed residence!

Although they were just some simple wooden houses built on giant trees, they were much more advanced than the living conditions of the wolf pack sleeping in the open.

"Ding! Helpful hint: Building fixed villages or towns can significantly accelerate the harvesting efficiency of faith power!"

"Building altars and large temples, and appointing fanatical believers as high priests, can extract massive amounts of faith essence!"

...

The system's rigid prompts popped up one after another.

When a deity's cultivation reaches a high stage, relying solely on throwing resources to increase combat power is no longer enough to support a mortal's transformation into a true god.

To ignite the fire of a true god, besides the most basic combat power values having to meet the standard, one must not only collect five Tier 9 basic origin cores to complete the plane's heaven and earth laws, but at the same time, one must also frantically harvest the faith power of subordinate species to stabilize the deity's supreme divinity!

"A town, huh..."

Lin Feng released his divine sense and quickly swept through the vast territory of over 30 million square kilometers.

As it turned out, he actually found a city that was beginning to take shape.

Strictly speaking, this place was more like a bustling small industrial town.

This was a settlement established by a dwarf tribe.

Its location was just right at the foot of a large iron ore mountain.

Back then, in order to make up the numbers, Lin Feng had spent lavishly and scattered hundreds of boxes of life crystals, which contained a wide variety of species.

These dwarves were one of them.

The dwarf race was naturally highly intelligent and was best at mining veins and forging various hardcore tools.

This counted as the first city in the true sense born within the Chaos Territory.

Although the architectural style was somewhat rough and simple...

But listening to the system's hint, as long as a few faith buildings were built in this town, the speed of harvesting faith could take off immediately.

This small town was pieced together by a large number of sturdy stone houses, and the highest official was a strong and powerful Tier 4 dwarf lord.

The total population in the town was around thirty or forty thousand.

Because their intelligence was far superior to ordinary beasts, these dwarves not only invented various practical tools but also built blast furnaces, and were methodically mining the nearby iron ore to forge weapons.

Dwarves were naturally greedy and had no resistance to shiny gold and silver ores.

As for which divine beast to send to be the ultimate faith for these misers, Lin Feng already had the most perfect answer in his heart.

"Pixiu, stop sleeping, hurry up and come out to work!"
