Chapter 269 Dragonfly Nesting
When more than 50,000 gray-headed hyenas became believers, Lear could clearly sense that the power of faith was flowing into the godhead like a river.
But at the same time, countless noises came together. The prayers, wishes, and expectations of believers were mixed in.
Each force of faith is the will of a believer.
As long as you listen carefully, you can sense the believers along the power of faith.
But this is too much. With more than 20,000 residents in the city of Wei Lu, Lear’s number of believers has exceeded 70,000 at this moment!
Even if you pay attention to it 24 hours a day, it is difficult to sort it out.
And according to the current plan, the number of believers will continue to increase in the future, until hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
It is impossible to recover now, and it will be even more impossible in the future.
No wonder it is difficult for ordinary believers to get a response from the gods.
How can one person respond to a group chat with hundreds of thousands or millions of people?
Lear forcibly pulled himself out of the noisy voice, and his eyes became deep.
He suddenly thought of the advice given by the Goblin God that he should not rely too much on the power of faith, which would limit his upper limit.
The murmur of the believers, perhaps the main reason?
This problem must be solved.
While thinking, his mind moved slightly.
The void in front of him suddenly blurred, and a human girl quietly appeared in front of him.
The third-ranked 16th-level swamp banshee, Mana, immediately disappeared her panicked face when she saw Lear, and she respectfully saluted with her chest.
"Greetings to you, Your Majesty"
Lear nodded.
He stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the other's head.
The next moment, a unique power surged into his body.
The swamp banshee immediately felt something in her mind, and she could hear prayers when she concentrated her mind.
After coming to her senses, she looked at Lear excitedly.
"Your Majesty, this, this is the believer praying?!"
Lear said slowly.
"I grant you the power to answer the prayers of my believers."
"Their emotions should also be your food."
The Swamp Banshee knelt down with a trembling heart.
"Your Majesty."
What an honor it is to answer the believers for the great gods?
She dared not even think about such a thing.
After thinking for a moment, Lear said slowly.
"Go back and study with Bain, set up a feedback mechanism, as long as the piety of the believers reaches a certain level, you can give them some power."
"Or remove the diseases in their bodies, or heal the pain, or repair the broken limbs."
"Give positive feedback to the believers to promote the spread of the believers' faith and the Swamp Sect."
"In addition, those who spread the faith of the Swamp Sect can use their own faith as a mark to guide new believers, and as long as the same faith aura reaches a certain level, then the believer can get an extra reward."
"This kind of reward should be heavier, don't be stingy!"
Why do believers believe in gods?
Of course, they hope to get something from it.
Or they desire power, or pray for protection, or calm their fears.
The gods who cannot provide anything to their believers often have very few believers.
Positive feedback can greatly promote the piety of believers and their willingness to spread the sect.
This is working for the gods, for the glory of our Lord! Preaching, that is a matter of course!
Of course, corresponding to positive rewards, there must also be negative punishments. Once the doctrine is violated or apostasy occurs, severe punishment must be given.
Only by combining rewards and punishments can the sect develop healthily and normally.
Lear has no feeling for being a high god, and he only regards preaching as a way to gain power.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you believe in him or not, as long as you can provide him with power.
It is precisely because of this that Lear can better understand the pros and cons and is willing to give up power.
There is nothing special about the prayers of believers. They just make wishes after praying, hoping that the great gods can help them realize them.
But normal gods can't take care of hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of believers, so most of the believers' prayers are in vain.
But if it is handed over to a dedicated person, the energetic swamp banshees can choose some wishes that are beneficial to the sect's beliefs to realize.
This is undoubtedly greatly beneficial to the spread of the sect.
But for other gods, responding to the prayers of believers is often a symbol of their authority. This is a core interest and it is impossible to give it up.
It would rather rot in their hands.
There are only two people who dare to do it like Lear.
But soon he found that it was too difficult for a swamp banshee to handle the prayers of believers.
Still need to pull more people.
While thinking, his eyes looked at the believers in the city of Wei Lu.
The classification of faith is shallow believers, deep believers, devout believers and fanatics.
Among them, the faith of fanatics has reached the peak, and their faith is as firm as a mountain. No matter what happens, even if the gods fall, their faith will not waver.
There are more than 3,000 such fanatics in the city of Weilu.
The rest have almost reached the pinnacle of devout believers, and are not far from fanatics.
This is the result of living with the gods every day and bathing in the holy light.
After screening, Lear looked at 30 of them.
With a slight wave of his hand, these fanatics immediately disappeared from their jobs.
Appeared in front of him.
When these believers saw their gods calling, they were immediately excited and couldn't control themselves. They prostrated themselves on the ground and began to worship devoutly.
"Great and immortal, your glory shines on the whole world. Praise you!"
The fiery tone makes people look sideways.
Lear nodded slightly, and after a little perception, he raised his eyebrows.
The faith is firm enough, but the strength is much worse.
While thinking, his eyes looked in a certain direction of the territory.
The next moment, the extraordinary orc possessed by the Soul Devourer broke through the sky like an arrow and rushed over at a very fast speed.
Seeing Lear, he immediately knelt down on the ground in flattery.
"Your Majesty."
There was a humble smile on his face.
The posture was much lower than that of the fanatic.
Lear didn't waste words and said directly.
"Can you devour some souls and increase their soul power?"
The Soul Devourer glanced at the fanatics not far away, and patted his chest confidently.
"Small problem!"
"I can sneak into their bodies and use their souls to devour life, which will naturally strengthen their souls."
"As long as their will is not obliterated, their souls will grow stronger after I leave."
Controlling souls is the specialty of the Soul Eater.
But this does not benefit him at all. If it were before he came to the swamp, he would not do such a thankless task even if he was sick.
But now, it is his honor to serve Lear!
Lier nodded.
"Take them to the Undead Plane immediately, and let the Flesh Slaughterer help you devour some of the dead to increase their soul strength."
The Soul Eater did not dare to say a word, and immediately took 30 fanatics through the space crack to the Undead Plane.
In the City of Death, the Flesh Slaughterer took the time to capture a group of undead during this period to serve as a temporary emergency granary.
The number is not large, about 20,000 to 30,000.
Anyway, the undead do not need any food consumption, as long as they are imprisoned in the dungeon, they don't have to worry about anything.
It just came in handy now.
The Soul Devourer manipulated the fanatics to devour 20,000 of them, and returned only after their souls could no longer bear it.
Seeing this, Lear directly mobilized the power of the swamp to upgrade these 30 fanatics to level 12.
This wave of consumption was not small.
At the same time, under the feeding of 20,000 undead, their soul strength was comparable to that of level 16 creatures.
With this group of fanatics joining, it was more than enough to deal with the current believers' prayers.
Lear immediately announced the establishment of a special department-the Vatican Faith Department, which was a secret department of the Swamp Cult and was exclusively managed by him.
He brought the crowd to the basement of the church and divided a large area as an office location.
In the future, this department will continue to expand and be used specifically to respond to the prayers of believers.
For safety reasons, Lear solidified the power of authority in the basement, and he could no longer listen to the prayers of believers as long as he left.
To prevent any accidents.
Safety was raised to the highest level.
After some operations, these 30 fanatics immediately started working.
It didn't take long for the believers to feel something different, their prayers were answered.
Praise, reward, praise.
Although no oracle descended, they could feel the emotions from God, that great existence, its eyes stayed on them!
After this battle, the depth of faith of those shallow believers rose rapidly.
They felt extremely honored in their hearts.
This was the attention of God!
This showed that they were talented, and as soon as they joined the sect, they received the attention of the immortal existence! !
They were so excited.
After doing this, Lear completely transferred this part of the burden.
Now, he only needed to enjoy the power of faith provided by the believers.
For other gods, responding to the prayers of believers was a manifestation of their existence as gods.
It was one of the most important and core powers, and it was impossible for others to respond to believers.
This was blasphemy, a shame, and even a manifestation of seizing power.
But for Lear, he did not value the so-called identity of a god, he valued the power it could bring.
Life that has been living and growing in this world is difficult to understand this idea.
So, the sect entered a new stage. Lear got rid of this huge burden and began to travel light.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
And when those majestic powers of faith gather into the godhood, when they are concentrated to a certain degree, they will be transformed into divine power that matches Lear.
After the divine power reaches a certain level, a new panel appears on his attribute panel-
Authority: Swamp (100%), Wetland (100%), Breeding (3%), Decay (1%), Life (0.1)
Rank: Weak divine power (to promote to weak divine power, 100 points of divinity need to be condensed)
Divine power: 50 points
Divinity: 10 points (1000 points of divine power can be converted into 1 point of divinity)
This has transcended the ordinary panel attributes and has a real panel of gods.
Lier was very pleased.
I always feel that I have completed a transformation and am one step closer to becoming a big boss.
Slightly perceiving that the power of faith of tens of thousands of devout believers praying for a day can accumulate 1 point of divine power for him.
And 100 shallow believers or 10 deep believers can be compared to one devout believer.
These 50 points of divine power are accumulated during this period of time, which is already a very good amount.
Divine power is a higher-level power than magic power, involving the power of the origin of the world.
It is also necessary to mobilize authority.
Lier glanced at the requirements for promotion to a weak divine power.
100 points of divinity.
And 1,000 points of divine power can condense into 1 point of divinity. This data may not seem much, but it makes countless gods with weak divine power sigh.
Devout believers are not so easy to cultivate.
Shallow believers are the mainstream in most sects. Some gods have a large number of believers, but the quality is too poor, and it is difficult to condense divine power.
According to the current development trend, the total number of believers exceeds 100,000, and devout believers account for most of them. It is not a big problem to accumulate ten points of divine power every day.
The quality of his preaching is not comparable to that of ordinary gods.
After finishing here, it is already February 27th.
And the intelligence refresh on the 25th two days ago still has only one 2-star intelligence that is slightly valuable. 50 kilometers north of ↑, there will be a group of barbarians wandering here.
On the 26th, it was already accepted into the territory. The scale of 2,000 people is not bad, which has increased the population a bit.
But it has no big impact on the current situation.
At this time, the wilderness around the swamp was unexpectedly not very turbulent.
The Titan Temple hundreds of kilometers away was still quiet. Except for the fact that it was difficult for outsiders to enter it, no Titan was seen showing its whereabouts.
At the same time, after the gods escaped, the expected great turmoil did not happen.
After the only remnants of the evil gods were wiped out, no alien monsters were seen again.
Everything fell into a strange silence.
But Lear could feel that the rules of heaven and earth were still changing, and they were different every day.
Silently, but no one could ignore it.
While perfecting the sect, Lear did not stop his actions.
Taking advantage of the changes in the rules, the silt swamp quietly extended a long way out, making the diameter of the swamp reach 130 kilometers!
The foggy death zone formed an area 20 kilometers wide.
The area of the entire swamp quietly increased a lot.
The Swamp Kingdom of God was also counter-attacked, and the area was also expanding outward.
Outside the Kingdom of God is a void of chaos. As long as the plane barrier is thick enough, there is no need to worry about being targeted by other gods, and you can develop at will.
Both are the source of Lear's power. At this moment, the area is increasing at the same time, which is very comfortable.
The expansion of the Kingdom of God has also brought the transformation of the Swamp Gods into a new stage.
Tens of thousands of two-headed ogres are covered with moss. At the same time, the sub-heads on their shoulders are gradually shrinking and tend to disappear.
The aura on the body is also rising day by day.
According to this progress, perhaps in three or two months, the transformation can be completely completed.
This is exciting news.
Lear's expectations for this race that belongs to the swamp are almost full.
Two days later, on February 29, Lear quietly sensed that new believers began to pray to him. The Bison Tribe.
The missionary work of the Swamp Banshee has extended to the second target, and more than a thousand shallow believers were born that day.
After the last attempt by the gray hyenas, this missionary work became more stable.
By the morning of February 30, the number of shallow believers in the Buffalo Tribe had increased to 7,000, while the total number of the other side was only over 10,000. Obviously, the effect was excellent.
In another day or two, that tribe will completely become a supporter of the Swamp Cult.
Lear even went to the church basement for this purpose and told the people who responded to the believers' prayers to focus on the Buffalo Tribe.
Mani, the person in charge, also knew the priorities and put most of her energy into this.
After the Buffalo's prayers were answered, they were very excited and their faith level increased significantly.
The effect was immediate.
The effect of timely feedback was perfectly reflected.
At noon, Lear, who was watching fish in the fish pond in the north of ↑ and mobilizing the swamp to erode the wilderness, suddenly saw Bain coming excitedly.
"Your Majesty, good news!!"
Looking at the excited swamp hero, he was a little amused.
"What good news is so exciting?"
"Your Majesty, there is a hardwood forest 30 kilometers south of the City of Dew. The patrol team just found a group of dragon flies nesting in it."
Lear's eyes lit up.
Dragon flies are unique to the swamp tribe. They have the blood of a part of the mythical creature, the Chaos Dragon, and are very powerful.
They are born as high-level soldiers at level 15, and when they grow up, their level can reach level 18!
More importantly, the production of dragon flies is very large. As long as there is enough food, a dragon fly can reproduce forty or fifty cubs a year.
And these creatures reproduce parthenogenetically, without any pairing, and it only takes one month for the cubs to enter adulthood!
When the former swamp god was still there, he waved his hand, and hundreds of millions of dragon flies came out in full force.
The skeleton sea army, which is not inferior to the undead, is the nightmare of many races.
With the decline of the Swamp Tribe, the Dragon Flies are also rapidly declining. Until now, there are no traces of these troops in most swamps.
There are even rumors that the Dragon Flies have become extinct.
Unexpectedly, a group of Dragon Flies would take the initiative to enter the mud swamp to build a nest!
He immediately became excited.
"Let's go and take a look."
He immediately took Bane to the small hardwood forest in the south.
When he landed on the ground and looked around, the hardwood forest was about 30 meters high and consisted of more than 100 large trees.
This scale is considered a relatively large forest in the swamp. The special terrain determines that it is difficult to grow too wide a forest.
Looking carefully, those unique creatures appeared in front of us.
The most obvious is the wings, which are small and inserted on the thick back. The color and appearance are exactly the same as the wings of flies, but they are magnified countless times.
The wingspan is about three meters, and the body length reaches 5 meters!
The body proportions are the same as those of a dragon, and the four claws are particularly ferocious.
The end of its tail is not the tail of a dragon, but a sharp barb like a scorpion.
It flashes with a cold and cold light.
What makes people sidetracked is that its head looks like an extended version of the dragon's head, and its mouth is full of sharp teeth, like a dagger embedded in it.
You can feel its ferocity from a distance.
Judging from the number, there are at least four or five hundred.
This small forest is filled up, and if you look closely, you can find that the stomachs of these dragon flies are all bulging, with obvious signs of pregnancy.
Dragonfly, level: 15, military talent: 1. Bloodthirsty, after tasting the taste of blood, all attributes will be increased by 70% until leaving the battle.
2. Swamp creatures, as long as they are in the swamp, the flight speed will increase by 70%, the attack power will increase by 70%, and the tail sting will have armor-piercing damage.
At this moment, the intelligence system quietly refreshed a new piece of information.
[The muddy swamp attracted a group of dragonflies to build nests, and an additional piece of information was obtained-you can use authority to subdue these swamp creatures and let them stay freely in the swamp. After half a month, these dragonflies will give birth. Dragonflies give birth twice a year, and each time they can produce up to 30 dragonfly cubs. You only need to provide enough food, and they can become the guardians of the swamp and obey your orders. ]
Lear looked at it with surprise and joy, and was in a good mood.
Good guy, it is true that planting a phoenix tree will attract a phoenix.
I didn't do anything, and such a large group of high-level soldiers came to my door. So happy, so happy.
It would be great if there were another hundred or so black dragons. (End of this chapter)
