Chapter 333: The Power of Faith
Everyone could feel themselves growing stronger not in terms of soul power cultivation, but in physical constitution. Their martial souls also showed signs of further evolution. Normally, since all the soul engineers present had already undergone their second martial soul awakening, their martial souls should have reached their final form.
However, at this moment, they all felt something inexplicable a sensation that their martial souls still had untapped potential. If they could continue absorbing this faint golden aura, their martial souls might even awaken again!
The soul engineers of Spirit Pagoda were utterly confused by this phenomenon. They examined the golden glow surrounding their bodies, their faces filled with shock and curiosity, and a wave of heated discussions erupted.
"What exactly is happening?"
"Why do we have this golden aura around us?"
On the high platform, Huo Yuhao was just as astonished by the golden light within his body. Unlike the others, he could see that the golden glow was actually composed of countless tiny golden dots, each of them clear and distinct.
More importantly, he could sense the connection between these golden dots and the soul engineers in the audience. He could even perceive their current states through these dots.
At that moment, the will of the Plane suddenly spoke within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, its voice trembling with excitement.
"Faith Power! This is Faith Power!
Back when the first Sea God ascended, it was precisely this power that allowed him to forge his divine position and enter the God Realm!
It seems that you are about to embark on the path of creating your own divine position as well!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart surged with joy. His long term planning and preparation had finally begun to pay off.
With Faith Power, his strength would soar at an unprecedented rate.
And those who believed in him would also benefit.
In essence, faith was a mutually beneficial exchange.
According to Tang San's explanation in Soul Land V, beings who offered their faith would provide power to a deity, and in return, the deity could bestow Faith Power upon them, making them stronger and deepening their faith.
After all, the more devout someone was, the more Faith Power they could contribute.
Of course, Tang San himself only started practicing this method in Soul Land V because he was facing powerful enemies.
However, before his reincarnation, when he was still a God King, he ruthlessly harvested Faith Power from Douluo Continent without hesitation.
If not for the rules of the God Realm and Destruction God King keeping a watchful eye on him Tang San probably would have turned the entire Douluo Planet into his personal Faith Power farm.
After all, Tang San was nothing more than a hypocrite.
In Soul Land II, he pretended to be sentimental and told Xiao Wu that Tang Sect had declined due to the advancement of the era.
But was he really unaware of how soul tools came into existence?
He knew exactly how they had been introduced!
According to Soul Land III, the Sea God Clan had discovered that the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent was imminent.
Knowing that such an event would cause catastrophic destruction, they had planned to prevent it.
After all, if the continents collided, millions would die.
And since the Sea God Clan was not divine beings, the rules of the God Realm had no power over them.
Yet, Tang San personally intervened, ordering the Sea God Clan to do nothing.
He even claimed that the collision was a fated opportunity for the world.
As a result, his decision led to the decline of Tang Sect itself.
At this point, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but wonder did Tang San deliberately allow the collision to happen just so he could witness another war unfold?
After all, Tang San was fully aware of how powerful the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools had become and that they would eventually surpass Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
Yet, despite knowing this, he still supported the collision between the two continents.
With Tang San's cunning and opportunistic nature, there was no way this was just a coincidence.
And what happens when two continents clash and war erupts?
Countless souls of the dead are left behind.
Normally, these souls would enter the Netherworld, but they could also be intercepted and harvested.
If even the evil soul masters of Holy Spirit Cult could collect souls to increase their power, then for someone like Tang San, it would be even easier.
Although the God Realm strictly forbade gods from interfering with the mortal world, Tang San had violated this rule multiple times whenever he found the right opportunity.
And since souls from the lower realms had no spiritual consciousness, they could easily be converted into special energy.
For example, they could be used to nurture the Eight Spider Lances, which were an evil soul bone in anyone else's hands but somehow a holy relic in Tang San's.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Huo Yuhao finally spoke.
"Silence."
Instantly, the noisy crowd fell silent.
Huo Yuhao cleared his throat and continued.
"I understand that many of you are confused about what just happened.
That's completely normal.
What you experienced was Faith Power.
Just now, you began to generate Faith Power toward me, and in return, I channeled a portion of it back to you, which is why you all became stronger.
I can assure you that Faith Power will bring you immense benefits."
Faith Power?
The soul engineers had never heard of such a thing before, and their faces were filled with curiosity and confusion.
"Tower Master, what exactly is Faith Power?"
Huo Yuhao explained, "Faith Power is a form of energy.
When you respect and believe in me to a certain degree, your faith takes shape, and Faith Power is born.
By having faith in me, you also receive benefits from Faith Power.
The deeper your faith, and the more believers I have, the greater the rewards my followers will receive."
Of course, Huo Yuhao could have absorbed all the Faith Power for himself instead of returning a portion to the believers.
After all, his current reserves of Faith Power were nowhere near enough to forge a divine position, so he needed to accumulate it as quickly as possible.
However, he refused to exploit his followers completely.
By giving them some Faith Power back, he gained two major advantages:
It strengthened their faith in him, increasing the quality of the Faith Power they generated. The more devout a believer was, the stronger the Faith Power they provided.
It spread his faith more effectively.
If people knew that simply believing in him could make them stronger, how could they resist such temptation?
The breathing of the entire crowd grew heavy with excitement.
Their gazes burned with fervor, and at that moment, a singular thought consumed them all:
Spread Huo Yuhao's faith.
Strengthen their own devotion.
After all, this was an opportunity to grow stronger!
Shrek Academy's Waiting Area
Today was the match between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Captain Xu Sanshi surveyed his teammates, his expression turning serious.
Casually, he activated a soundproof soul barrier.
Then, he spoke solemnly.
"I have something to say. Please listen carefully.
Right now, Shrek Academy is facing its most dangerous moment.
Because of Elder Xuan, our reputation in the Sun Moon Empire has been utterly ruined.
When we step onto the battlefield, we will definitely be bombarded with insults and hostility from the crowd."
