-188- The secret of the gods(1/2)

"A web of faith?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment when she saw the new ability appearing on the Blood Sacred Scripture.

She closed her eyes and felt it, and then she was surprised to find that she seemed to have actually weaved a huge "network".

Deep in the world of consciousness, the starlight symbolizing believers has changed, and a network like a constellation appears around the starlight, connecting all the starlights, and finally converging on Charlotte, who is like the core.

The core of the core is Charlotte's heart, or to be more precise, the crystal of the endogenous flame in the heart that seems real and illusory, just like the godhead and divine fire in Western fantasy stories.

The network is anchored by the statue of the god enshrined in the demihuman tribe, like a base station for mobile devices, and is connected to many believers through the statue.

Charlotte discovered that through this network, she could easily extend her power to every idol "entered into the network", and she could easily project power through the idol to every believer near the idol.

It's like a cell phone signal.

Of course, this is just a simple and crude metaphor.

In Charlotte's perception, every believer is actually a "base station" and can also receive and send her "signal", but it is stronger or weaker.

And no matter how weak the signal is, it is much more efficient than Charlotte's previous simple and crude method of contacting them through the starlight symbolizing believers and projecting power.

Charlotte tried a little, and through this newly emerged belief network, she cast her sights on the werewolf Luf, the elf Sebastian and the blood Earl Yurst.

Then I was surprised to find that by contacting them through the faith network, there was almost no need to consume the divine power of blood!

To use an analogy, in the past, her contact with believers and subordinates was like shouting from a distance, requiring effort to stretch her neck and shout, but now it is like having a mobile phone, and she only needs to speak in a normal tone.

"There's something about this web of faith..."

Charlotte couldn't help but exclaimed.

And at this moment, a new line of text appeared in her field of vision——

[Blood Sacred Scripture detects the faith network in use——]

[Belief Network Belongs to: Charlotte de Castel (Lord of the Sacred Code)]

[Current network status: semi-activated]

【Is it fully activated?】

Fully activated?

Charlotte was stunned again.

After pondering for a moment, she tried to activate it deep in her consciousness.

The next moment, the web of faith in her consciousness shimmered, and at the same time, Charlotte felt that the connection between herself and the believers was further strengthened.

She looked curious and planned to study it carefully, but then, overwhelming voices flooded into her consciousness:

"Praise you! Great True Ancestor of Blood, may you bless me to dig more mithril ores today!"

"My Lord! Please listen to the voice of humble believers and grant me the possibility of awakening my bloodline!"

"Great True Ancestor of Blood, I want to confess to you..."

"O omnipotent Lord, I..."

"..."

All kinds of prayers penetrated from all directions and penetrated into Charlotte's mind. She couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh shit", and then quickly adjusted the Web of Faith to a semi-activated state.

This time, the sound of prayer gradually disappeared, and was replaced by the twinkling stars in the web of faith.

Every flicker of the starlight means someone is praying to her.

Some are strong, some are weak.

"Phew, it feels much cleaner now."

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

She wanted to see how much divine power she had consumed by activating the Web of Faith just now, but when her consciousness went deep into the Blood Sacred Scripture, she discovered that all the blood divine power accumulated in the Sacred Scripture had disappeared.

"Huh? Why is the divine power gone?"

Charlotte frowned slightly.

After thinking about it, Charlotte consciously mobilized the divine power of blood, and then she discovered that she could still mobilize the power.

However, this power no longer comes from the divine power of blood stored in the Blood Sacred Scripture, but actually comes from her heart!

Or to be more precise, it was the translucent crystal in her heart that seemed both real and illusory.

Charlotte's heart moved, she felt it carefully, and then discovered that the divine power in the Blood Sacred Scripture did not disappear, but was transferred.

The divine power was transferred into the crystal with the golden flame inside, and merged with the divine power remaining in the statue of the ancient temple. They were all concentrated in it, as if forming a pool of divine power.

At the same time, this pool of divine power is also connected to Charlotte's web of faith.

Charlotte sensed that the accumulated divine power in the divine power pool was almost the same as the previous total divine power of the Blood Sacred Scripture and the Ancient God Statue. It was about 2,000 points, which was enough for her True Ancestor Liberation to spend more than half an hour.

"So...could this illusory crystal really be the godhead? And the flame is the divine fire?"

Charlotte looked puzzled.

"Then what am I now? A vampire? Master of the Blood Sacred Scripture? Or...can I be considered a 'god'?"

She muttered a few words and felt her own strength, and then realized that if she didn't use her divine power, she would still be the weakling with only Silver Moon's strength.

Charlotte is a little confused about her current state.

what is this?

Schrödinger’s God?

Demi god?

False God?

Charlotte looked strange, but at this moment, something suddenly moved in her heart.

In her perception, a star in the web of faith suddenly flickered, and Charlotte keenly sensed that a weak energy flowed along the web of faith into the pool of divine power in her heart.

Although it is very weak, so weak that it cannot be detected without careful perception, and so weak that even if it is magnified ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, it will probably not be as much as a little bit of divine power, Charlotte can be sure that the divine power in her own divine power pool

A little bit more added.

She suddenly became energetic and realized a certain possibility. Then she quickly sank into consciousness and traced the source of that energy.

Following the web of faith, Charlotte easily traced the twinkling starlight, and when she lost consciousness, her vision changed instantly.

She "saw" a forest. In the forest, the ferocious monster had fallen to the ground with a spear stuck in its body, and a rough-looking werewolf was standing on the corpse of the monster, breathing heavily.

His body was undulating and his breath was erratic, and his whole body seemed to be exuding a strong rhythm of extraordinary power. The ferocious wounds on his body were squirming with granulation, and were actually slowly healing.

I saw him pull out the spear with force, causing a splash of blood, then stretched out his other hand, drew a symbol of thorns and roses on his chest crookedly, and then said in a deep voice:

"Praise the True Ancestor for giving me courage!"

Sensing the aura of the werewolf, Charlotte suddenly realized what had happened:

"He is a werewolf believer who fights monsters in the forest. He just broke through to the stars in a crisis..."

"So, the power just collected by the Web of Faith was the extraordinary power that exploded the moment he broke through to the stars?"

Charlotte was sure that was not the power of faith.

Or to be more precise, she had no idea what the power of faith was, and she had never heard of it after traveling through time.

It is very likely that there is no power of faith in this world like the Western fantasy novels she read in her previous life. The power just now was pure extraordinary power. It was the power that exploded when the extraordinary person broke through and the energy surged.

With some guesses in her mind, Charlotte began to carefully perceive the network of beliefs.

And this perception really made her discover a lot of things.

For example... her belief network is actually connected to the blood and lives of all believers, and seems to be connected through the soul and body.

Moreover, the more devout a believer is, the closer the connection is.

This connection is the passage of the web of faith. Charlotte can use this passage to give believers power, and at the same time, she can also absorb the power of believers through this passage.

At this time, the information about the Web of Faith in the Blood Sacred Scripture continued to emerge, and it seemed that the verification and loading had finally been completed:

[Web of Faith: As the totem of blood, the Lord of the Sacred Scripture has the ability to weave the web of faith. He can weave the faith network through the faith of believers, build faith anchors, use faith to anchor believers, grant believers divine blessings, and cultivate them.

Absorb extraordinary power, and recover the soul and divine grace after the believer dies.】

Cultivate and absorb extraordinary power?

Reclaim soul and divine grace?

Looking at the description of the new ability, Charlotte was slightly startled.

She squinted her eyes and looked a little confused:

"So... the purpose of the gods developing believers is to establish a close relationship with the believers and let the believers help them practice together?"

"And this...is the secret of the gods?"

Charlotte almost instantly thought of some words Nice once said:

Gods are gods, and faith is faith. Master Mao heard someone say in the past that the gods are just a group of selfish parasites cloaked in hypocrisy.
To be continued...
