Chapter 153 The Power of Faith
As the prayers continued on the scene.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Finally, the gray-skinned man holding his daughter could no longer bear the hunger and fatigue, and his eyes went dark and he fell down.
A gust of wind blew, and the things on the altar were in a mess.
But no one moved.
Because everyone was either dead or unconscious.
After a while, Zhao Hao slowly landed here.
Looking at the people falling around him, he didn’t know whether he felt sad or ridiculous.
"Foolish..."
The food that could save his life was right in front of him, but because of his faith in his heart, he chose the illusory hope.
Although he didn’t know how powerful these gods were, as gods, they must not lack this little thing.
Even gods don’t have a problem not eating or drinking. Even if they eat, it’s just to satisfy their appetite.
So your food has no appeal to gods at all.
But looking at the dead trees and dry land around him.
He seemed to understand something.
Perhaps, these people are too desperate.
Without water, the land is dry. If this situation cannot be changed, even if they can survive for a while, they will not live long.
"Daughter, love..."
Hearing the man at his feet still muttering his daughter's name even in a coma, Zhao Hao sighed helplessly in his heart.
Forget it, just do it as a convenience.
Although he is not a saint, he is still happy to avoid the extinction of a race when he has the ability.
He raised his hands and a strong air began to surge.
Soon, the sky began to darken slowly.
Don't get me wrong, he can't make clouds and rain out of thin air, he just uses air to gather the surrounding water vapor.
The consequence of doing this is that other areas will become drier and even without rain.
But here is the only place with a little life in a radius of 10,000 kilometers.
So naturally, he doesn't care about the surrounding situation.
"Boom..."
After a while, bursts of thunder sounded in the sky.
"Tick-tick...tick-tick..."
A little bit of rain began to drip.
Among the praying crowd, under the nourishment of the rain, some people soon opened their mouths, licked unconsciously, and then woke up.
"The gods appeared."
"Great gods... you finally responded to us... woo woo..."
"God, the gods appeared..."
"We have hope..."
As more and more people woke up, they soon regarded Zhao Hao as a god and knelt on the ground to worship.
Thanks to his proficiency in language, Zhao Hao still heard their words at this time.
Zhao Hao did not explain anything about this.
Although he was not a god, it was indeed the rain he summoned, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was their god.
Of course, he did not want to experience being a god, so after summoning the rain, he turned his head and looked at the men and women around him.
"What are your names?"
There were originally fifty or sixty people, but only eight woke up.
The leading man was slender and held a little girl in his arms.
He heard Zhao Hao's question and immediately trotted over.
"My Lord God, my name is Geer, please save my daughter."
After saying that, he lifted up the little girl in his arms.
When Zhao Hao heard the name, he thought of the poor planet here, and then looked at the other person carefully, and immediately understood where he was.
Geer, the God Killer in Thor 4.
In the plot, a god named Lapu was celebrating that he had killed the first owner of the Black Death Sword.
He summoned a believer to witness this great moment, so Geer was summoned.
Geer was in pain because of his daughter's death, so he questioned Lapu why he didn't respond to the believer's prayer.
When Lapu heard Geer's questioning, he began to laugh at him, saying that he didn't care about the death of the believer at all.
So Geer gave up his faith.
After sensing it, Lapu was about to kill Geer.
At this critical moment, the Black Death Sword sensed the monstrous hatred in Geer's heart and became a weapon in the other's hand.
After Geer accidentally killed the god Lapu, he became the second owner of the Black Death Sword and the new God Eater.
Didn't expect to come to this planet on the verge of destruction?
Thinking of this, he looked down and saw the little girl, and then frowned slightly.
Because the little girl in front of him was too thin, her whole body was skin and bones, and her hair was sparse, which seemed to be caused by long-term malnutrition.
And the other party had no breath.
But fortunately, perhaps because of the genetic relationship of the race, the other party's heartbeat was very weak, but it would occasionally beat, hanging on to his life.
It should be because she had not eaten for a long time, so she fell into a coma on her own initiative to reduce energy consumption.
"She is not dead, but she is too hungry. If you give her something to eat, she should be able to recover."
Hearing this, Geer immediately ran to the front of the altar excitedly.
But after arriving at the altar, he hesitated again.
Because these foods are for the gods, if he eats them like this, will it be too offensive?
Zhao Hao discovered Geer's concerns, so he said, "Don't worry about eating. I'm not a god, just an ordinary person with stronger strength."
When Geer heard this, he looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief.
After seeing that the other party did not lie, he walked to the altar and put the fruit in front of his daughter's mouth.
"Ai, you eat, the food is here."
How can a comatose little girl eat?
But she still didn't move.
Seeing this, Geer was a little anxious.
At this time, Zhao Hao, who was chatting with others, was speechless after discovering the situation over there.
It seems that the civilization of this planet is not too high, and even some simple knowledge is not known.
So he walked over, crushed a fruit like a dragon fruit, and then dripped the juice into the little girl's mouth.
"She has lost consciousness. You have to chew the food and give it to her. At the same time, you have to support her body to prevent the food from blocking her trachea."
While speaking, he had already fed the little girl food, and then used air to help her adjust her body.
After feeling the other party's stomach slowly moving and digesting, he returned the little girl to the other party.
"She should be able to wake up in a while."
Hearing this, Geer was ecstatic.
"Thank you, thank you very much, what is the name of the God?"
Zhao Hao shook his head again.
"Zhao Hao, but I am really not a god."
Geer said firmly at this time: "No, the Lord saved my daughter and gave us rain, so he is a god."
Seeing that the other party insisted on calling him a god, Zhao Hao could only let him go.
Because he also knew that the so-called gods were just powerful lives.
So in the eyes of ordinary people, it is understandable to say that he is a god.
Then, he asked the other party about some information about this planet.
However, Geer didn't know much. He only knew that the place where they were was called Pertran Oasis, which was their last place of survival.
Even the situation in other places on the planet, Geer didn't know.
After all, the natives here are very luxurious even to have enough food, so how can they have the opportunity to understand the situation in other places.
Zhao Hao nodded and didn't continue to ask questions.
What should I do?
Should I go to other oases to try my luck, or wait for this Gel to be summoned by the god Lap?
If I can meet the god Lap, I can pay some price and let him send me back to the blue planet.
But I don’t know when the god Lap will summon Gel?
In the movie, Gel was at the end of his rope and couldn’t even find his daughter’s body before he was summoned by the god Lap.
And the current timeline is obviously not at that time yet.
After a while, the others around gathered around and began to kneel down to Zhao Hao.
"Thank you, Lord God."
"Lord God, please save our world."
"We just want a world where we can survive."
Watching everyone's constant pleading, Zhao Hao suddenly understood why those gods never responded to the prayers of believers.
Because sometimes, after people are satisfied, they will want more.
Just now, they just prayed for rain. After the rain, they will want a better place to live.
But it can't be said that these people are wrong.
After all, survival is the instinct of all life.
Who doesn't want better living conditions?
Just like the people on Blue Star.
When you don't have enough food, you want to have enough food.
When you have enough food, you want to eat better.
Desire is endless, which gives people the motivation to move forward.
After looking around, Zhao Hao just said lightly: "I am not a god, and I can't give you a better world.
I can only teach you the knowledge to survive.
As for whether you can survive, you can only rely on yourself."
Hearing this, everyone was confused.
The person in front of him can make it rain, but he said that he is not a god.
If even this is not a god, then what is it?
At this time, Geer saw that his daughter seemed to move.
I saw her eyelids tremble slightly, and then she opened her eyes.
"Dad... Dad..."
After hearing the voice, Geer's eyes turned red.
"Love... You finally woke up..."
The people around saw that love was resurrected, and they immediately knelt down again.
"Lord God, you can revive love. If you are not a god, then who is a god?"
"Yes, you are a god."
"Please, Lord God, save us."
Seeing this, Zhao Hao could only feel helpless.
But at this time, he felt something vague, as if it had entered his body.
Huh? What is this?
He squinted his eyes and felt it carefully, but he didn't feel anything.
But his brain felt a cool feeling.
It was like eating ice cream in June.
Could it be that this is the power of faith?
But does this power have any side effects?
Zhao Hao was a little wary of this strange power.
After all, he had read a lot of novels in his previous life.
They all said that the power of faith would affect people and make them become what believers believe in.
I just don't know if Marvel is the same.
And if these people find out that they are not gods, will there be a backlash?
At this time, Geer recovered from the joy of his daughter's awakening and saw that others were constantly making demands, so he quickly said: "Everyone, God has given us so much, we should be satisfied.
And God says he wants to teach us how to live, so we should be filled with gratitude. "
After finishing speaking, Geer was the first to kneel down.
When the others saw this, they immediately followed and knelt down.
Zhao Hao saw that they had recognized him as a god, so he had no choice but to let them go.
Next, he learned from the chip how to find water sources in the desert, find underground water and other knowledge, and taught it to them.
Also, how to use tools such as wheels and gears.
The civilization of this world can be said to be extremely low.
Although they have language and writing, they do not know how to cultivate land and have no breeding industry.
The people here are just like the Heizhou people in Blue Star, they all rely on the sky for their livelihood.
If there is prey in the oasis, catch it, and if there is fruit on the trees, pick it.
And from the chat, Zhao Hao discovered that their population also experienced a period of explosion.
At its peak, the number reached more than one million people.
There was also a period of civilization.
For example, the clothes they wear and the pottery used to worship the gods.
But later, because there was no rain, the oasis area continued to decrease, so the population continued to decline, and civilization also fell apart.
As of now, there are only over a thousand of them.
…
On Blue Star.
As Zhao Hao disappeared, Ha Lin's actions became more and more bold.
Sacrifice a city today and another city tomorrow.
And her strength is also constantly improving. After sacrificing two cities, she can tie with Superman. After sacrificing three cities, she can beat Superman.
Of course, Superman's strength is also constantly improving, but the speed of improvement is not as fast as Harleen's improvement.
After all, one relies on basking in the sun, and the other relies on devouring souls, not to mention Harleen's talent is not low.
However, when she was about to sacrifice the fourth city, she was hit by a nuclear strike from SHIELD.
Although it did not cause much harm to her, it killed many clergymen.
And it also interrupted Harleen's sacrifice.
Although the city was bombed, there were no survivors.
Harleen had no choice but to continue to offer sacrifices secretly.
While Harleen was battling wits with the Avengers and SHIELD, Beautiful Country was not idle either.
Because of the attack by the Chitauri, although the beautiful country fell from the first place in the world, it still has technology and potential that cannot be ignored.
In order to unify the world, the Eden Project was launched.
It is to lure other countries to join the beautiful country on the condition of longevity.
Mexico was the first country to respond and volunteered to vote in a referendum.
After all, for Mexico, it was originally a situation where various underground forces were divided.
Now that I can achieve immortality, I don't mind this mess.
The strange thing is that other countries turned a blind eye to the behavior of the beautiful country, and instead began to devour the surrounding countries.
They all seem to be making every effort to expand their power and prepare for future wars.
For a time, Blue Star's situation became increasingly weird.
There seems to be an invisible hand controlling everything behind the scenes.
…
Three months later.
On a deserted planet.
Zhao Hao looked at the well in front of him, with groundwater constantly pouring out, and just nodded lightly.
After more than a month of hard work, the underground spring was finally opened.
But speaking of it, in order to get this spring water, I went through a lot of twists and turns.
Because the knowledge on Blue Star is completely useless on this planet.
Perhaps because of the difference in gravity and volume, the underground springs on this planet are extremely deep. The shallowest one he found was more than a hundred kilometers away.
He relied on his own mental power to find this underground spring, and then used Qi to open it.
It’s no wonder that no one on this planet has ever known how to dig a well.
Because it is too deep, it is impossible to drill such a deep well with ordinary manpower and material resources.
At this time, more than a thousand people around saw the water actually appearing, and they immediately burst into cheers.
"Long live the gods!"
"Thank you to the great gods for giving us divine water!"
“This water that never dries up is given to us by the gods.”
"Woooo... Finally there is water..."
Some laughed, some cried, but everyone was cheering for the water.
However, although they were extremely thirsty, no one came forward to drink water. Instead, they all looked at the gods in front of them with expectant eyes.
Zhao Hao felt a certain power of faith that was constantly entering his body, so he used his energy to seal it up, and then looked at Geer beside him.
"You share the water with everyone."
Hearing this, Geer immediately nodded excitedly.
"Yes, Lord Kami."
After he finished speaking, he took his daughter and a wooden bucket to collect water from the underground spring, and then distributed it to everyone.
Zhao Hao came to the side and felt the power of faith carefully.
The power of faith gained this time was more than the previous three months combined.
Feeling this power carefully, he felt a soul-like feeling.
Soul fragments.
These four words appeared in his mind instantly.
Immediately afterwards, many things suddenly became clear.
When a life has extreme faith in another target, it will produce soul fragments and gather on the body of the believer.
The believer can fuse this soul fragment to strengthen himself.
As for whether his speculation is right, he only needs to experiment to know.
Among all the attributes, the soul attribute is the slowest to improve.
The physical attribute is more than 2,500, and the soul is only about 170.
On average, the soul will increase by less than one year of life.
This is only with the blessing of the Eternal Titan bloodline.
If there is no such bloodline, it is estimated that there will be no increase.
After looking at the soul attribute, Zhao Hao immediately closed his eyes and began to absorb the power of faith.
The next moment, he felt a burst of comfort and coolness all over his body, as comfortable as taking a high.
However, this feeling came quickly and went quickly.
Soon the little power of faith gathered in his hand was consumed.
So he immediately looked at the attribute panel.
Sure enough, he found that his soul attribute increased by about 0.5.
If it were to grow on its own, it would take at least half a year.
This discovery gave Zhao Hao the idea of establishing his own sect and absorbing faith.
But soon, he suppressed this idea.
Because he didn't know if the power of faith would have any sequelae.
