Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1238 - 794: Is Their Faith Really That Deep? (Part 2)

All of this is due to the influence of the Painting World.

Though its name might seem too "blasphemous," after tasting the allure of painting, the soldiers unanimously chose to ignore its name and focused on praising the experience.

Where else can you both thoroughly enjoy combat and relieve stress at the same time, honing your combat skills while easing tension?

On the frontline, the Painting World is the unique stress relief haven!

The enthusiasm displayed by the soldiers received tacit approval from all the superiors. Those who manage the army, including Anleisi, all have a favorable impression of the Painting World, so naturally, there was no issue with the soldiers' preference to enter it.

What's more, entering the Painting World is all benefits without drawbacks, not a single issue to pick fault with.

Thus, the stationed Holy Light Church troops in Hepa Town acquired a new daily routine—a joyful daily adventure in the Painting World alongside the monotonous military life.

Faced with such results, Bishop Megan from afar expressed considerable satisfaction.

Reports from the army mentioned soldiers eagerly entering the Sain Dungeon to slay monsters, which was precisely her intention, so she had no objections, and even more, hoped all soldiers would enter.

Unfortunately, it's not realistic for all soldiers to enter the Sain Dungeon, so she deployed more soldiers to Hepa Town to join forces with Kaius's troops, ensuring the number of entries into the Sain Dungeon continued to increase daily.

"Hehehe, Sain Dungeon, just wait for your demise!"

In her small room, browsing the reports from the frontline, Megan occasionally let out eerie laughter.

Bishop Megan's support was clearly appreciated by the soldiers, which only made them embrace her more.

In such a scenario, the Holy Light Church's development initiative in the Sain Dungeon thrived vigorously.

Obviously, Kaius and the others could not allow soldiers to enter the Sain Dungeon just to relax in the Painting World, as usually, after relaxing in the Painting World, soldiers have the energy to dedicate themselves to work, making it an opportune time for exploring the Sain Dungeon.

Although the Holy Light Church lacked the aid of renowned adventurers like Luluwo, they had support from headquarters.

Upon learning they had conquered the Sain Dungeon, headquarters immediately dispatched several Dungeon Exploration Masters and a batch of seasoned adventurers to assist them. These masters, using Hevi's maps and Luluwo's notes for re-exploration, compiled an exclusive strategy for the Holy Light Church within a week.

It's not that their abilities exceeded the Skyrim Strategy Group's significantly, but because they stood on the shoulders of those before them.

Though Hevi's maps were designed to trap people, the true information mixed in helped save the Holy Light Church considerable effort.

However, the internal version of the Holy Light Church's strategy always encountered peculiar issues, such as unexpected monster attacks or the triggering of dangerous traps, and these problems remained unresolved, hindering exploration efficiency.

Perhaps Hevi left some inconspicuous traps on the maps that are hard to discern immediately.

With the help of these Dungeon Exploration Masters and the soldiers' enthusiasm for dungeon exploration, the progress unfolded smoothly. Though not rapid, every day yielded new discoveries.

When the rebel army retreated, they left some resources behind, not taking everything with them. The Holy Light Church discerned from the types of resources left behind which ones came from the Sain Dungeon, and based on these, they discovered items that could be extracted on a large scale, now forming a brick-moving team responsible for daily resource scavenging from the Sain Dungeon.

For a moment, the entire Hepa Town operated in an orderly fashion, buzzing with life; everyone had something to do, and everyone was happy.

Except for Anna.

"Why does it seem like the effectiveness of the Faith Potion isn't evident?"

Walking through Hepa Town and observing the soldiers along the journey, Anna couldn't help but question aloud.

Not long ago, she worried the Faith Potion might turn soldiers into fanatics solely devoted to the Holy Light and lead to irreversible mental consequences due to altered spirituality.

But today, such worries had dissipated, as she found the depth of soldiers' faith seemed not to increase much compared to before.

She regularly fed them the Faith Potion at specified times; after meals, soldiers praised the Holy Light endlessly, but...

That was it.

After the next meal and another batch of Faith Potion, soldiers remained at the same level of verbal gratitude toward the Holy Light.

What's the situation, is the potion ineffective?

Anna puzzled, and soon, she rationalized through her assumptions.

"Surely headquarters knows the dangers of deep faith, thus limiting the effectiveness of the Faith Potion themselves! They really care about the regular soldiers' health."

Thinking this way, her internal guilt vanished without a trace, feeling justified in spiking soldiers' meals, seemingly finding joy therein.

While Anna was clueless, Gong Qiying was also somewhat perplexed.

In the Sain Dungeon, within the City Lord's room.

"Isn't the growth rate too rapid recently?"

Gong Qiying glanced at the City Lord Panel's spiritual power reserve, specifically extracting Scameroon Sub-city's data alone, and sighed in amazement.

In comparison, the same number of people, the same power, yet the spiritual power provided by the Holy Light Church dwarfed that from the rebel army twofold!

And it consistently maintained this double value without decrease!

"Is their faith in the Holy Light that profound?"

Gong Qiying had long discovered that individuals with deep-rooted faith, once converted to faith in the Sain Dungeon, offer extraordinary spiritual power quantities, prompting his initial experiment with the rebel army's Wilderness Church.

Initially, when the Wilderness Church converted their faith, they produced over double the normal amount of spiritual power, thoroughly validating his discovery!

However, over time, as the Wilderness Church increasingly accepted belief in the Sain Dungeon, the additional spiritual power steadily declined.

Ultimately stabilizing at a modest one or two percent increase over the norm, significantly less than at the onset.

Gong Qiying surmised that as the Wilderness Church completely embraced Sain, the internal clashes of belief diminished, so their spiritual power naturally returned to normal.

Facing the current Holy Light Church, Gong Qiying initially expected a similar outcome, anticipating the massive spiritual power provided soon to drop to normal levels.

But the situation defied expectations.

These Holy Light Church individuals maintained over double the usual spiritual power daily!

Simply like super crops!

"Could it be... because their faith in the Holy Light is extraordinarily firm?"

Things turned a bit eerie.

As if these Holy Light Church soldiers, upon having their faith in the Holy Light shaken inside the Sain Dungeon daily....

Immediately replenish their faith in the Holy Light once outside the dungeon!

"Does the Holy Light Church conduct such good ideological construction?"

For the first time, Gong Qiying felt a touch of respect for the Holy Light Church; despite their inactivity, they excelled in matters of faith.

Nevertheless, the ultimate beneficiary remained the Sain Dungeon.

The recent spiritual power gains were substantial, and Gong Qiying had converted it into various items and monsters inserted into the dungeon, pursuing notably enhanced productivity.

At this crucial time, the vanguard exploration team composed of Kaius and Anleisi reached Sick Village.

And it was deep within Sick Village, approaching areas even the rebel army hadn't ventured into.
