This gift from the Night Watcher was not only beyond Sui Xiong's expectations, but was also exactly what he needed.
The lack of senior believers has always been a big problem for Sui Xiong.
This is not only his problem, but also the most troublesome problem for all the new gods.
Believers are the foundation of the Kingdom of God and the foundation of faith. Unless a god follows a natural path that does not rely on outsiders and grows and polishes its power little by little over a long period of time, otherwise, it must have as many believers as possible - faith is the fastest source of divine power.
Of course, relying on faith to increase divine power is a somewhat dangerous thing. Since ancient times, countless wise and calm gods have fallen on it and transformed into ugly forms dominated by faith. In the end, when they fall, they often find that if they had not accepted so many faiths, even if they were not as powerful as they are now. , and he would never die so funny.
However, Sui Xiong has not yet had the time to consider this. He has very few believers, and such a little faith is not worth mentioning to any god.
Not everyone is qualified to be "dominated by faith". At least, your faith accumulation must reach a medium level of divine power. Who has ever heard of weak or even weak divine power being controlled by faith? That's a joke.
From a god's perspective, Sui Xiong's top priority is to pursue two things. The first is naturally to seek a priesthood that fits his own ideals. He has found a good goal for this, whether it is "progress" or "development", in this world No god has ever occupied it, so there is no need to worry about conflicts; the second thing is, of course, to win more believers and enhance one's faith. He is doing this, but the effect is not that obvious. Even though he is good at fighting and kind, but until now, the number of his followers... The number of followers is still quite large, but the number of believers who are enough to ascend to the Kingdom of God... Forget it. , let’s give the poor big jellyfish some face and don’t count the exact numbers.
Sui Xiong was also very troubled by this, but the degree of piety of believers was not something that could be easily changed, and he could not think of any way for a while. But this gift from the Night Watchman gave him a new way of thinking.
"Why do I have to wait for the number of devout believers to increase? Isn't it okay to collect soul fragments and make some myself?" After bidding farewell to Weiye, he sat in a secluded corner of the Kingdom of God, thinking and talking to himself. .
There is no doubt that this is not a problem for him. The box of Night Watch gave him a huge inspiration, and the other party did not play technical encryption on the box. It took a little time to completely deduce the entire technology.
Of course, this technology is actually meaningless to most gods. Only gods such as the Dark Night God System that have been revived several times will study this technology. Ordinary gods will wait patiently for two to three hundred years. Years later, you will naturally be able to accumulate enough believers...
Sui Xiong doesn't want to wait patiently for two to three hundred years, so at least for now, he has no better choice other than borrowing the technology of the Dark Night God System.
So he sighed deeply, and then began to study the box carefully, analyzing the wonderful artificial soul technology in depth.
If the basis of matter is molecules or atoms, then the basis of soul can be called spirit son. These tiny particles themselves do not contain power, but they can absorb the power of the root of the world, and are driven by it to gather and condense into fragments of souls. Countless soul fragments flowed in the River Styx, flowing along the cycle of the world, and were eventually purified, merged, and turned into a sea of souls.
When a living thing is born, ripples will appear in the sea of souls, and souls will be injected into them. Sometimes when a little more soul is injected, creatures with naturally powerful souls are born; sometimes it is the opposite, and what is born are poor souls with weak souls.
The Sea of Souls is a forbidden area in the entire world, and almost no living beings can get close to it. This is not only a lack of ability, but also something that "order" cannot tolerate. In the past years, there was an evil god who tried to gain some advantage in the Sea of Souls. As a result, even the traces of his existence were wiped out by the Lord of Order. Only the wailing sound before his complete destruction still remains to this day. Return to near the Sea of Souls.
No matter which direction you approach the Sea of Souls, as long as you get close to a certain level, you will hear the wailing sound. This is an obvious warning, meaning "friend, you have stepped on the line."
What would it be like to move on? No one knows, because those who came back alive did not move on.
Of course Sui Xiong didn't intend to go to the Sea of Souls to commit suicide. He just sent his avatar to go to the underworld.
It only requires a few soul fragments for research, just collect some from near the River Styx - anyway, there are always souls here that have completely exhausted their power and are about to collapse at any time. There are so many of them everywhere.
Before heading to the banks of the Styx, Sui Xiong made a special circle and looked at the situation of the Shadow Demon King from a distance.
Decades have passed since the last time they fought. The injury of the guy who had a lot of grievances with him and owed Satan his life had not improved significantly. He was still half-dead and half-alive, and even seemed to be worse than before. There was an air of despair in his whole person.
This is presumably because of its new neighbor.
The death knight Grat always holds his head, rides a skeleton horse with only a skeleton left, and murmurs philosophical questions such as "Who am I" all day long? He is a very annoying guy.
Ever since he was sent to the underworld by Sui Xiong using the teleportation spell to be his neighbor to the Shadow Demon King, Glat has been living a happy and fulfilling life every day. He gets up early every day, tidies up his appearance (or appearance) a little, and then comes to visit his neighbors.
Facing the Shadow Demon who had lost his ability to move and fight, Gratt happily talked endlessly, talking about the world, life, ideals, existence, future, universe... and other grand and profound topics with this old neighbor whom he had known for a long time. This conversation fascinated him, and he talked from morning till night every day without any pause.
If he hadn't still retained basic etiquette and would say goodbye every night and go back to his simple cabin to rest, perhaps the Shadow Demon King would have been like some of the little monsters in "Westward Journey", and would have been attracted by this guy who is unparalleled in his level of gossip. Let's just say it's dead...
No, maybe the Shadow Demon is still alive just because it can't die even if it wants to.
Sui Xiong watched from a distance as the Death Knight with his head raised had a cordial and friendly conversation with the Shadow Demon King, who stood as dumb as a dead tree, and smiled with satisfaction.
(Gratt, I am such a good friend!)
He silently praised his adult beauty and left cautiously, waving his sleeves so as not to take away a single cloud.
Because he was in a good mood, even the originally dark and boring River Styx became a pleasant scenery in his opinion.
Randomly selecting some collapsing souls, Sui Xiong easily collected enough fragments for experiments, and then returned to the Kingdom of God.
"Now, it's time to witness the miracle!"
He waved his tentacles, encouraging himself energetically.
As for whether it can work... Even a perverted lolicon can do it, so why can't he, Brother Xiong
Looking at his character, he knows that’s impossible!
