The three-headed human idol was destroyed and no equipment was popped out.
Lu Yao was slightly regretful, but not surprised.
Even if the other party had props, at the time of life and death, they must have ignited their faith and used it for battle. Unless it is a blitzkrieg to kill them instantly …… However, that would consume a lot of faith and may not be cost effective.
Through many attempts, Lu Yao gradually figured out a new method of fighting in the God War.
First, let the thick-blooded Apostles take turns to go wheel to wheel combat, consuming the other party’s faith, but also pulling out space and attracting attention. Then let the snowman in the dark go and steal the Flame of Faith and props, so that the loot can be maximised.
Lu Yao tapped on the new props that the snowman got.
……
[Wild Horn]: faith +1/hour. Blow the horn and call the surrounding creatures towards the horn.
The Three Headed Man was able to attract the Man-eating Crab, and this prop seems to have been instrumental in that.
When Lu Yao thought back, the horn ability was also useful for islanders, so it was a small artifact in the early stages of the game.
When you enter the abyss, you can use this to attract monsters.
Lu Yao pulled it into the props bar.
Next was the sweeping session.
Isabelle landed on the island on her wand.
After the Mass Prayer was cast, she called out the Black Orb of the Dead and began to patiently ask.
“My lord, they say that the idol appeared not long ago, pushed to the island by the waves.”
“There were only very few people on this island at that time, and people came here to gather wood and grass from the island, only to find the idol. The idol would bring fish from the sea, would stop storms, and block the hot sun ……”
Isabel did a simultaneous translation.
“Later, the first group of people began to worship the idols. This is when the first prophet was born, and the prophet received a revelation that this deity was called [the three-limbed god].”
“Soon after, the ferocious green crab climbed ashore and came to the idol.”
“The prophet told everyone that the deity told them to feed these divine servants, the big crabs.”
“The crabs had big appetites and couldn’t get enough of them.”
“Finally the devotees were also eaten by the big crabs. Only before they died did the believers realise that they were just livestock used by the gods to feed the crabs.”
“People kept coming to the island and repeating the process.”
Lu Yao began his post-war review.
The crab-feeding three-limbed gods went for the monster flow, where everything revolved around efficiency.
The fact that the cannibal crabs had a fertility rate that far exceeded that of humans, and were also able to generate wisdom and faith through cannibalism, made the Three-Limbed God look at them as the core believers to cultivate. A large population would be able to drive out a large amount of faith.
If he was given enough time, he might actually be able to walk out on the path of a crab god.
This battle of the Three Limbed God gave Lu Yao a point of concern.
He switched perspectives and came to the Salt City God Temple.
In the temple, the White God was lazily lying on the ground, surrounded by all sorts of meat, wheat cakes, potatoes, grapes, and ale. He was wandering in a sea of food, and when His mouth opened, He inhaled a bunch of food.
As soon as Lu Yao arrived, the White God immediately stood up with a shiver – though also in boar quadruped form.
Unlike the Apostles, the Genus God would feel the gaze of the Righteous God, which saved Lu Yao a lot of effort.
“Lord Zheng Shen, you’re here.”
A fawning smile symbol appeared above the White God’s head.
Lu Yao typed and inquired about the situation he wanted to confirm.
“Er, Lord Zheng Shen, the strength of this …… miracle also depends on faith consumption, and 1 point of faith can only cause 1 point of miracle.”
“It’s the same if it’s used for attack combat.”
“The Lesser God’s [Stomp], consuming 20 faith, creates just 20 damage. Of course if stacked in large enough numbers, the damage will be very considerable as well ……”
Lu Yao froze as he watched.
Not right.
It wasn’t right.
When he himself used Miracle against non-gods, it was clear that a lightning bolt that consumed 20 points of Faith could deal 40 points of damage.
Why did the White God say that 20 points of Faith could only cause 20 points of damage?
The White God was a little confused by Lu Yao’s repeated queries.
He carefully replied, “Lord Zheng Shen, this is the case …… Faith does not increase or decrease out of thin air, how much Faith can exert how much power.”
Lu Yao cupped his cheeks with his hands and fell into deep thought.
It wasn’t that the Three Limbed God was too weak.
He was normal, freezing consuming 30 points of faith and creating 30 points of damage.
It was the fact that the miracle he created with his faith had double damage, unlike other gods.
So where was the key point of distinction?
Lu Yao ruled out a series of conditions before finding the only anomaly in himself.
The Divine Pantheon.
This was where Lu Yao distinguished himself from other Divine players.
All other gods were idols, and he came out as a divine temple, with completely different specifications. The problem was that the remnants of the Forest God’s Book of Memories didn’t say anything special about the divine temple either, only that it was left behind.
Regardless, the gain of double damage to non-divine individuals was undoubtedly a great tool for opening up the land. It saved Lu Yao a lot of initial expenses.
Unfortunately, the characteristics of the Divine Temple were not datamined at this stage, and other than being able to incorporate the Genus God Idol and double Miracle Damage, it wasn’t known if there were any other special effects.
He also asked the two former apostles of Phyllus and Saniro, and learnt that the gods had opened up a divine palace with no incidental abilities.
Then, the Divine Palace should be something that only Title Gods and even Main Gods had.
Its detailed characteristics could only be groped for slowly.
Lu Yao stretched and was about to disembark.
A new prompt popped up on the simulator.
[Yanjiu completed his pilgrimage.]
[Shiojyu has become an ascetic.]
–Great God, there is a believer who has performed a feat that far surpasses his peers, is there a need to transform him into a hero?
[Yes] [No]
Another pilgrimage?
Lu Yao tapped into the shrine and saw Salt Long kneeling on the ground.
At this point, Salt Long’s characterisation had changed dramatically.
He had shaved his hair, was topless, and had a string of garlic tied around his neck. Obviously, he was only 28 years old, but now Shiohisa was dressed as if he was 58 years old.
Yanjiu knelt in front of Lu Yao’s idol and was repenting in his heart.
“Lord God, I have sinned.”
“Firstly, it was committing the sin of arrogance, to think that there is a greater god in the world than you ……”
“Then it was committing the sin of anger, being angry and bitter because I didn’t gain Your favour, turning ……”
“……”
“I have travelled the pilgrimage of the legendary Prophet Hemila, which has led to a deep understanding of Your greatness and vastness, power and glory. All the sufferings and troubles we have experienced, including our small lives, are not worth mentioning at all.”
“I dare not pray that You forgive a follower who has betrayed You.”
“I simply want to spend the rest of my life reflecting on myself, spreading Your faith, and learning to face all suffering with equanimity. Learn to see Your glory and mercy in pain, thus completing the atonement for my unholy sins.”
Lu Yao noticed that Yanjiu’s personal panel had also changed.
[Salt Clan LV7] Yanjiu
Life Value: 80/80
Mana: 15/15
Damage: 1
Defence: 4
Speed: 3
[Longevity
Has a long lifespan.
[Martyr]
Willing to die for spreading the gospel of the gods.
[Ascetic]
To comprehend and improve through suffering.
Lu Yao had almost forgotten about this person, Salt Long.
Honestly speaking, although Yanjiu had caused a certain amount of chaos, it was truly a minor matter in Lu Yao’s eyes. After introducing the White God, he had completely forgotten about this group of heretical believers like Yanjiu.
The gods were very busy and didn’t have the time to care about such trivial matters.
However, Shiohisa himself obviously took it very seriously.
He first completed his pilgrimage, then came over to do his penance devoutly and metamorphosed into an ascetic.
Lu Yao appreciated him a few points.
Not bad, lad, at least he had the bearing to not run away with a bucket.
So.
Lu Yao tapped [No].
He had always wanted to see what would happen if he didn’t transform into a hero.
Would the villain get angry? Would it be lost? Or would the personality blacken?
A painful emoticon surfaced above Salt Long’s head.
Then a look of pleasure appeared.
Lu Yao looked at it with a question mark on his face.
Salt Long’s level instantly increased to LV10.
Crap.
The ascetics turned out to mean this!
The more the gods punished them, the more excited and growing they became!
Lu Yao was greatly shocked.
