Chapter 66: The Power of Faith
Looking at the Yuehai of the Shadowstone, although unable to sense the pressure generated by Zamiyah’s release of the [World], one could tell from the awe-inspiring state of most people outside the scene. Some of Zamiyah’s followers even kneel down devoutly to worship.
What does “believers” mean? It’s one of the sources of divine power. The power of faith makes the deity stronger. A deity with a thousand believers, under all other conditions being equal, is decisively no match for a deity with ten thousand believers. This is a theorem.
Although Zamiyah has not yet become a deity, basically no one doubts the fact that he is about to become one. He is an extraordinary figure, and the threshold of becoming a deity cannot stop him.
So establishing believers early on will allow oneself to take over the power of faith as soon as they become a deity, ensuring that their strength is not too weak. After all, many people have had their divinity and divine fire taken away during this weak period of becoming a deity.
These two things can be said to be invaluable in the market, with prices so high that they are beyond belief! It’s enough to turn friends into enemies, and even the closest people might secretly plot against you.
“How impressive!” murmured Yuehai, and Claude nodded in agreement beside her.
“Although I don’t have a direct sense of it, Secretary-General Zamiyah in this state might be even more powerful than ordinary deities.”
“Doesn’t that mean he can rival the Ten Earthly Deities?”
“Not possible. The Ten Earthly Deities are the strongest ten in our Noah World. Even if Secretary-General Zamiyah becomes a true deity and further advances in magic, he still wouldn’t be able to match the last of the Ten Earthly Deities.”
“So powerful!” Yuehai couldn’t help but exclaim. She hadn’t had a direct sense of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths before, but now, compared to Claude, she immediately felt a majestic sense of awe, that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were not to be desecrated by ordinary people!
“．．．．．．” Claude narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded solemnly in response. He had a persistent pursuit when it came to strength, and even casual mentions would be taken very seriously.
In the “world,” Zamiyah is like a god. With just a lift of his right hand, he points at the numerous exam papers. Then, traces of grading and the final scores appear on the papers. He separates more than a thousand points from them and sets them aside separately. Only after Zamiyah finishes these tasks does he retrieve the “world” back. He nods satisfactorily, gives a slight smile to the host, indicating that he has completed the task.
The two hosts were already enchanted by the performance. However, being seasoned professionals with years of fame, their reactions were lightning-fast. Excitedly, they spoke before the audience could fully recover from that mesmerizing state.
“Did everyone see that? This is unparalleled and unique magic! ‘World’!”
Most people immediately awaken, marveling one by one, with many even subtly shifting their beliefs towards Zamiyah. If Zamiyah were a deity, they might immediately notice a significant increase in their power of faith.
Perhaps Zamiyah’s appearance this time is to attract followers; this could indirectly indicate that they are infinitely close to being a demigod!
The host signaled for the unruly audience below to quiet down, while the judges on stage naturally remained composed. However, their attitude towards Zamiyah had improved significantly. Only the “Thunder Emperor” Leilindor still appeared half-asleep, while his neighbor, Nicholas, had kicked him under the table more than once. Unfortunately, Uncle Leilindor was thick-skinned and merely scratched himself, yawning repeatedly.
“Alright, the results of the first round are out. Although it’s heartbreaking, the other more than a hundred thousand little angels will leave in regret after this round,” the male host said, as if genuinely lamenting, clutching his chest before continuing.
“So, let’s ask Lady Nicholas to send the more than a thousand passing papers into the void space.”
Upon hearing this, Nicholas couldn’t help but be stunned. These more than a thousand papers were all different. Although she could carefully send in the papers of over a hundred thousand people, picking out over a thousand strangers and then having Nicholas send them in was nothing short of a pipe dream!
It was obvious that the male host had overestimated Nicholas’ abilities. Continuing in this manner would lead to an awkward situation for both. At this moment, Zamiyah suddenly leaned in and whispered gently into Nicholas’ ear.
“I’ve placed causal spatial markers on over a thousand papers. As long as you guide them to the void space, the papers will naturally find their original owners.”
Nicholas’ pupils contracted slightly, feeling a mix of shock and gratitude, but as both were superior beings, the proper etiquette was still observed.
“Thank you, Lady Zamiyah, for your consideration.”
“Ha ha, only a strong and beautiful woman can capture my heart, right? I heard Miss Nicholas hasn’t married yet…”
Zamiyah only said half of it, smiling as she withdrew her head, seemingly leaving the rest to 【Cage Emperor】 to imagine.
Nicholas felt slightly embarrassed. Although she was no longer prone to infatuations at her age, Zamiyah’s words still sparked a few imaginative thoughts in her mind.
Leilindor, who had been dozing off on the side, opened one eye, looking at Nicholas with a sleepy gaze.
After yawning, he shifted into another position and continued sleeping.
