Chapter 880 - 540: Incense, Mortal Myth

Chapter 880: Chapter 540: Incense, Mortal Myth

[At two thousand one hundred and thirty-two years old, the Human Race saw the emergence of its first True Immortal, Luo Xuanjun.]

[With the emergence of a True Immortal in the Human Race, the cycle of a hundred lifetimes has been anchored.]

[After the simulation of this lifetime ends, you may pause the simulation and claim the stage reward.]

Jiang Ming was taken aback.

Yet there were not too many emotions.

"But that’s about right..."

After Jiang Ming’s cultivation increased, his simulation wasn’t merely time-stopped.

"Just as well, after this lifetime ends, I can handle the matters outside."

[The appearance of a True Immortal in the Human Race has had a tremendous impact across the entire continent.]

[Currently, the Great Saints and Great Witches of the Witch Demon Continent all come from the Demon Race and Witch Race.]

[Besides the few great saints from other races, none exceed a handful, and they are firmly attached to both races.]

[The world knows that the Human Race has produced a True Immortal, causing their status on the continent to climb rapidly.]

[Simultaneously, even very few Totem Tribes have come to the Star Sea bearing powerful totems.]

[People from all corners of the Human Race began to spend millennia and generations of effort to head to the Star Sea.]

[Some pearls hidden in dust within the Human Circle also began to strive intently to escape to the Star Sea.]

[The Star Sea has truly become the place of everyone’s aspirations.]

[At the same time, the price of the Human Circle Human Clan started to skyrocket, and the various Human Circle Lords were making a fortune.]

[At two thousand three hundred years old, the Star Sea cleared the surrounding Demon Country of over thirty lost Celestial Demons, officially planting the Human Race’s banner on this Demon Land.]

[The Cultivation Council targeted the reward exchange list, beginning designated strikes and destruction of the Human Circles in the surrounding Demon Countries.]

[For a time, the entire Witch Demon Continent was a subject of much discussion.]

[However, a True Immortal who comprehended the complete Law, with combat power equal to the Great Saints of the Dragon Race, served as the Human Race’s backing.]

[For the first time, the Human Race did not need to solely watch the expressions of the Dragon Race.]

[At two thousand three hundred and eighty years, the Netherworld Road was formed, and the Wangchuan River first appeared.]

[At two thousand four hundred years, Biran entered the Celestial Demon level.]

[At two thousand five hundred years, Yu Lin entered the Celestial Demon level.]

[You gifted the two of them Netherworld Qi Fortune Talismans, allowing them to freely enter and exit with a name.]

[At two thousand six hundred years, the Ancestral Spirit developed a complete incense system.]

[And the complete incense system requires the cooperation of the Netherworld.]

"The Incense Fire Dao, its core is the Power of Faith."

"The physical body, True Essence, all can be discarded."

"With the Power of Faith, fuse with the Divine Soul to forge the divine body."

"This is the Faith Deity."

"According to my concept, as long as there’s enough Power of Faith, a Faith Deity can skip all processes to achieve their goal. Of course, the limitations are vast, and some goals require an amount of Power of Faith that even the mightiest deity might not gather in millennia."

"As a result, I also created a Divine Skill system which can use the Power of Faith to perform Divine Skills, greatly reducing the consumption of the Power of Faith."

At the end of the Netherworld Road.

A small, serene pavilion stands.

Zhao Fu, dressed in a white robe, poured a pot of Spirit Tea of Ten Thousand Souls for the Ancestral Spirit opposite him.

"Not bad at all." Zhao Fu, feeling the system passed from the other, couldn’t help but nod.

As expected of the research fanatic Ancestral Spirit.

The Path of Faith has already initially taken shape.

"I have merely initially established a framework."

"However, the constraints on the Faith Deity are too great."

"I’m afraid most cultivators wouldn’t want to become a Deity."

What is a cultivator’s goal?

Immortality, freedom, and ease.

A deity can achieve near-eternal life upon meeting certain conditions.

But the cost is to be forever bound to the followers, freedom, and ease are impossible.

Furthermore...

"They will be polluted by the Power of Faith."

"If they start purely as a Faith Deity from zero, they will gradually be polluted by the Power of Faith."

"They will no longer be themselves."

"But instead what their followers perceive them to be."

The Ancestral Spirit shook his head.

This is the characteristic of the Power of Faith.

"However, through my modifications, I have transformed the Divine Path into two forms."

"The first is creation from nothing."

"Suitable for ordinary mortals who cannot cultivate. They may perform great deeds aiding the common people and thereby establish temples to become gods."

"In this way, their character, whether good or evil, will be locked, becoming the best helpers to protect the Human Race."

The eyes of the Ancestral Spirit shone as he spoke.

If this technique were to spread.

On the continent, without relying heavily on the Star Sea’s aid, some places where the Demon Race’s power isn’t strong might be able to establish some Human Race kingdoms with the help of deities.

Though, compared to the Star Sea, these Human Race kingdoms may be pityingly small.

But, a spark can set the prairie ablaze.

"Indeed, quite nice."

"The second type is dual cultivation."

"For normal cultivators, they simply cannot endure the Power of Faith."

"But now there are two existences capable of cultivating the Power of Faith in tandem."

"The first is the totem."

"Totems are originally some Demon Cultivators with no roots but decent talent who cultivate with the help of the Human Race’s Power of Faith."

"Yet, their primary cultivation is still Demon Power."

"But being bathed in the Power of Faith for years, their constitution is quite suitable for the Power of Faith."

"In recent years, three relatively large Totem Tribes have returned to the Star Sea."

"After those three totems receive the Power of Faith, their strength will increase drastically, possessing both Demon Power and Totem Power."

"And under the influence of the Power of Faith, they’ll hold almost absolute goodwill towards the Human Race."

Or perhaps, in the past, those totems protecting the Human Clan also had the influence of the Power of Faith.

Subtly, the Power of Faith instilled in these powerful totems the idea of protecting the Human Race under them.
