Mad God Evolution-Chapter 501 - 0473 - Breakthrough in Strength!_1

Lv Zhong opened his eyes with a delighted face, actively using his spiritual sense to explore the immense power of faith.

From the memories of Plague God Lv Yue, few in the East ever attempted to collect the power of faith for cultivation, which intrigued Lv Zhong to some extent.

In an instant, Lv Zhong’s spiritual sense began to probe into the vast power of faith within the sea of consciousness to investigate.

With Lv Zhong’s intention, those strands of faith power converged into a single line, rushing into Lv Zhong’s spiritual sense, and headed straight for his soul core.

Lv Zhong was just exploring casually, yet those strands of faith power inrush directly into his soul origin, causing Lv Zhong’s heart and soul to falter, nearly throwing him into endless chaos.

"My most respected savior, I am willing to dedicate a lifetime of faith, begging you to rectify the chaos, banish the end of the world, and bring peace once again..."

"My lord, may your glory last as long as the heaven. Please eliminate all chaos and bloodshed, and bestow an age without the end of the world, where the old can depend and the young can grow..."

"My most respected god, thank you for your life-saving grace, and I beg you to bless my family for safety..."

"I beseech the compassionate and merciful gods to bestow upon me supreme power and I will take it upon myself to eliminate zombies and alien beasts. I would repay the grace of you, my god, and protect my people..."

"My god above, I am ready to offer my soul, please save my Qing’er....."

...

Hidden within this endless faith power were countless pleas!

Lv Zhong was shocked, then couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.

No wonder Eastern immortals never actively absorb the power of faith. These hidden pleas within faith power are countless causes and effects!

To absorb this endless faith power means to owe the believers, and it’s a debt that must be paid. If you don’t pay the "effect," in the end, it would lead to endless retribution.

Could the eastern immortals not see the advantages and disadvantages of faith power?

Obviously, they didn’t absorb faith power because they didn’t want to receive the "retribution".

Moreover, people have different hearts, and even people from the same place have different thoughts.

Farmers pray for rain, while grain merchants fear too much rain might cause old rice in their granaries to mold and pray for a dry weather...

As a god, how could one take care of everyone under such circumstances?

This is simply impossible!

What’s more, this vast power of faith originated from countless different souls. Its complicated and variegated information, the different strengths and properties of various soul frequencies, pose a significant shock to the "god" being worshipped.

If not specifically trained in absorbing faith power, one’s soul may just be bombarded by countless desires, causing the worshipped person’s heart and soul to fluctuate. That would be a net loss.

Those who want to be free and unbound immortals, they would absolutely not want to absorb these mortals’ faith power.

But, undeniably, the power of faith has terrifying power.

Once billions of people’s faith power come together, it could cause seas to overturn and mountains to crumble, forcing even the Heavenly Dao to appease it.

Even a mortal, being sincerely worshiped by billions of people, could possibly achieve immortality or godhood after death.

Therefore, the power of faith, disregarded by the Eastern immortals, is coveted by countless divine people in the western God Realm. They would even wage wars of gods to attain more, and larger faith power.

Plague God Lv Yue, naturally, could feel the strength of faith power. However, as he cultivated eastern immortals’ practice, he had a slight repulsion to faith power.

As for Lv Zhong, although he did fuse with a strand of Plague God Lv Yue’s True Spirit, his soul essence was grown in modern society. He too had a faint feeling of repulsion for faith power, but he could also look at the power of faith correctly and objectively.

"Collecting faith power for practice has pros and cons. If the disadvantages can be cast away, then harnessing faith power for practice can be a shortcut—"

With his spiritual sense engaging with the enormous power of faith assembled in his sea of consciousness, Lv Zhong knitted his brows in contemplation.

While probing and pondering, Lv Zhong rarely immersed his soul into a state of "meditation."

"In this aspect, the Western adherents to the Buddha did well. Buddhism collects faith and incense power. They seem to use the merit of Buddhist practitioners to resist the power of cause and effect. For the ’retribution’ that can’t be repaid, they can let Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva dissolve them in the Eighteenth Hell. This so-called dissolution is nothing more than subduing demons with Buddha power..."

Lv Zhong shook his head secretly. Such methods were things that cultivators of the Three Pure Realms would disdain. "Vowing not to become Buddha until hell is empty" is not as glorious as it seems.

The [Sanctum Church] lineage of God, when collecting the power of faith, is far more naked. Almost the same as robbers. Therefore, their lineage’s cultivators mostly use the power of faith to harness the power of heaven and earth for practice and combat.

This leads to a secondary consumption of energy, not to mention that the bodily strength of their lineage cannot be matched by Eastern immortals who cultivate both internally and externally.

"If those believers just respect the gods from their hearts without any petitions or prayers, that would be the divine sound of the gods." Lv Zhong opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

But such believers are simply too rare.

Because everyone is human, everyone has desires. And desires are what drive societal progress.

Even the God of the West is aware of the dangers of harvesting the Power of Faith, and so he took action. However, the fully brainwashed fanatics are believers who don’t carry such complicated desires. Unfortunately, these fanatics are few in number.

"But what if we speak of the faith harbored by the Insect Clan?" Suddenly, a thought occurred to Lv Zhong.

The spiritual capabilities of the Insect Clan are far inferior to that of humans, however, their consciousness is extremely pure. Furthermore, their population numbers are enormous.

What’s more important is that Lv Zhong is basically the most dominant and supreme emperor of the Insect clan. Even when using the insects, Lv Zhong would instinctively consider the welfare of the Insect Clan.

As the most prominent emperor of the Insect Clan, if Lv Zhong becomes the chief object of faith for all the insects, then he would have an advantage over any deity.

Furthermore, the desires of the Insect Clan are simple — either sustenance or infinite evolution.

Coincidentally, these desires that Lv Zhong has for himself will also satisfy them.

What’s more important is that the hierarchical structure of the Insect Clan is strictly enforced!

It’s the enforcement of this strict hierarchy that most benefits the gathering of faith!

"Haha, I won’t personally gather the Power of the Faith from humans. After all, with the Five Blessings Stone present, it can at least purify some of the destiny of the human race. As for the faith of the Insect Clan, I’ll gladly accept it..." Lv Zhong laughed heartily at this thought.

Instinctively, Lv Zhong immediately initiated the Mother Emperor wave frequency, making contact with various insects like the [Soul-Devouring Worm], the [Poison-Devouring Worm], the [Three Corpse Brain God Worm] and instructed them to brainwash all the insects daily using the Mother Emperor wave frequency, so that all insect larvae would go mad in worshipping and believing in Lv Zhong.

While these Mother Insects didn’t quite understand why their master always ordered so, they also never hesitated or opposed.

Instantaneously, the Mother Insects began to use the strong and weak Mother Emperor wave frequencies to transmit the image and information of Lv Zhong being the ruler of the Insect Clan. They would solidify biology in accordance with Lv Zhong’s orders, repetitively brainwashing the citizen insects...

Boom Boom Boom...

Subtle mysterious faith forces began to converge towards Lv Zhong from all directions, swiftly entering his sea of consciousness.

However, this faith force appeared somewhat incompatible with the faith force of human beings. While each strand of faith force is much smaller than that of humans, it was extremely pure and seemed to lack the Power of Cause and Effect.

Upon seeing this, Lv Zhong’s soul couldn’t help but get extremely excited, and immediately began to wildly absorb this faith force.

Originally, Lv Zhong was very anxious, worried that this faith force would influence his heart and mind.

However, once he started absorbing this faith force, his soul was filled with a sense of vastness, as if he was standing in an endless starry sky, boundless and infinite!

At the same time, countless images and memory fragments of the Insect Clan began flashing within the soul of Lv Zhong, just like watching a movie.

Lv Zhong instinctively understood the various frequencies and methods that the Insect Clan used to communicate.

Although each of these faith forces is weak individually, they are extremely powerful when put together.

Of course, today is still the first day that the Insect Clan has established Lv Zhong as the chief object of their faith. The faith force that has gathered is still weak.

But to Lv Zhong, he undoubtedly saw another shortcut in his cultivation efforts.

He can absorb and gather the faith of the Insect Clan for his own use.

When the Insect Clan fully develops and grows stronger, the faith of the Insect Clan that he can absorb would be unimaginably powerful!

...

Without any obstruction, absorbing and purifying this faith power, Lv Zhong felt his entire soul connect with something, experiencing an unprecedented comfort— not physically, but spiritually.

At this moment, Lv Zhong’s soul energy started to skyrocket, and Lv Zhong instinctively divided his attention, starting to cultivate the "Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Method of the Vast World".

After a long period of time, Lv Zhong heard a loud "bang". His soul violently quaked.

His progress in the "Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Method of the Vast World," which had been stagnant at the peak of the fifth layer, seemed to have broken through, advancing to the sixth layer of this technique in one fell swoop.

A river of spiritual power gushed out of Lv Zhong’s room. As an incomparably terrifying aura of might erupted, it crazily spread out in all directions with the Ning City Government as its center.

Xu Xinyan and the four Phoenix Guards, who had been standing outside the room, thought that something was wrong with Lv Zhong and were extremely cautious.

The five women intensely observed their surroundings, reaching a state of extreme vigilance.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Lv Zhong found himself shrouded in a mysterious colorful light!

Endless Insect Clan Faith Power surged from outside Ning City, seeping into Lv Zhong’s sea of consciousness like particles of light, allowing Lv Zhong’s soul to gather and purify them without any hindrance.

During this moment, Lv Zhong realized that his control over the Insect Clan didn’t necessarily have to go through the Mother Emperor Wave Frequency.

At this point, Lv Zhong was still immersed in his own world, crazily absorbing and purifying the Faith Power of the Insect Clan, oblivious to the magical changes happening to his body.
