Chapter 250: Faith Power to Become a God: Preparations Before the Tribulation

During the time Tang San and the others were in hiding, Jerry was busy developing his Small World.

Ever since he had shown off in the Spirit Beast World last time, he discovered that the creatures of the Small World were also providing him with Faith Power; although this Faith Power was of no use to Jerry anymore, it could be collected and channeled to others.

Therefore, apart from the first replicated Douluo World, Jerry began stirring things up in the other nine worlds, performing various miracles to collect Faith Power.

So much so that during this period, the Faith Power on Jerry was very dense.

Jerry had no use for this Faith Power, so he prepared to channel it to those who needed it.

Returning to Wuhun City, Jerry arrived at the residence of Qian Daoliu.

Upon arriving, he saw Qian Daoliu acting like a sycophant, waiting on Poseidon; even after becoming a god, he still couldn't change his old habits.

Ever since Jerry gave Qian Daoliu the medicinal pill to restore his body, his body had returned to its youthful state.

Under normal circumstances, he could have children.

It was a pity, though, that Qian Daoliu was no longer in his youth; in order to pass on the Spirit Hall, he had to marry and have children.

Poseidon was now in the Spirit Hall, and no other woman could catch his eye.

He had dragged it out like this until now, when he had become a god; now, wanting to find an ordinary person to bear offspring was simply impossible, as they were no longer on the same level of existence, so he could only hang himself on the tree that was Poseidon.

Otherwise, he could only continue to wait, waiting until the continent produced many female god-level powerhouses.

"Great Elder, I say, since you and Poseidon are together every day, you might as well move into the same courtyard; it would even save one courtyard."

Watching the Great Elder's sycophantic behavior, Jerry teased.

Hearing Jerry's words, the Great Elder imagined it for a moment, then felt a bit embarrassed.

Before the Great Elder could speak, Poseidon, hearing Jerry's words, felt a little slightly angry and spoke first.

"Jerry, do you have nothing better to do? I'll live wherever I want; why do you care so much!"

"Haha, just a joke, I can't manage your affairs. I came here this time to tell you something; I am preparing to help some people break through to the god level."

"What? You can help others break through to the god level?"

Qian Daoliu and Poseidon were very surprised, looking at Jerry with an expression of disbelief, and said loudly.

"Yes, actually, the god level is just that; one way is through God Position inheritance, and the other is through Faith Power."

"You are both very familiar with God Position inheritance, so I won't talk about that. The second way is Faith Power; you two have held high positions, and through your actions over so many years, you have gained the recognition of others, and thus their faith, which generates Faith Power."

"The Sea God became a god through Faith Power; Poseidon should know this very well. But once this Faith Power becomes too much and the God Body reaches the limit of the world, no matter how much more Faith Power there is, it is useless."

"Since I have no use for it anyway, I might as well channel it to others, which can create a few god-level powerhouses. My master, the Ghost Douluo, and my senior and junior sisters have all become gods and should be in seclusion stabilizing their cultivation now."

"Great Elder, did your granddaughter not tell you that she has also become a god?"

When Jerry said this, he wanted to see Qian Daoliu's expression; sure enough, Qian Daoliu's expression was very rich.

One moment happy, the next disappointed.

"Jerry, my granddaughter has become a god, why didn't you stop her? What about my family's Angel God inheritance?"

Qian Daoliu had been with Poseidon all along and had forgotten that his granddaughter had not yet participated in the God Trial.

Originally, when Qian Renxue was at Level 70, Qian Daoliu had prepared to let her participate in the God Trial, but Qian Renxue said that her current Cultivation speed was not slow at all, and she would participate in the God Trial when her Cultivation speed slowed down.

Anyway, since his granddaughter had been in the Spirit Hall the whole time and what she said made sense, he went along with Qian Renxue.

Now, suddenly being told that his granddaughter had become a god without even participating in the God Trial.

Qian Daoliu suddenly felt that life was truly full of ups and downs.

"Why would I stop her? Isn't it good to become a god? Although she doesn't have a God Position yet, she can still prove her own God Position in the future. You should leave your family's Angel God inheritance to someone else; honestly, the Angel God is quite weak. In his prime, he was slashed to death by the Asura God with one sword; it's really not that great!"

Hearing Jerry say that the Angel God was weak and looking down on him, Qian Daoliu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Even if the Angel God was weak, he was still a god with a God Position, much stronger than a god without one. You even look down on this? If proving one's own God Position were so simple, why would there be so many low-level gods in the God Realm?

A God Position might be very difficult for others, but Jerry felt that it was just because they didn't know the method to prove their own God Position.

In fact, to put it simply, proving one's own God Position means reaching the extreme in a certain aspect, to a point where it is difficult for others to surpass.

Jerry didn't know why the gods of the Douluo World didn't understand such a simple principle.

Or perhaps those gods who already had God Positions were deliberately hiding it!

Moreover, Jerry wasn't worried; he had five God Positions on him, and in addition, he had a Wood Attribute God Position shared with the Fairy Queen.

If his senior and junior sisters couldn't prove their own God Positions, he could pass on a few God Positions at that time.

Qian Daoliu was still sulking, and Jerry didn't want to say more, so he spoke directly:

"Among the high-level members of the Spirit Hall, many are currently stuck at Level 99. I am preparing to help a batch of people break through first. I will decide the list myself; I'm telling you this so that when someone comes begging to you later, you don't come looking for me."

Every time there was a major change, many people would beg Qian Daoliu, so this time Jerry was giving a heads-up in advance.

Of course, Jerry's list wasn't chosen randomly; first, they had to be his own people; second, they had to have made significant contributions to the Spirit Hall; third, it depended on Jerry's mood.

Yes, just these three criteria; Jerry felt that these three selection standards were already very perfect and had no problems at all.

Afterward, Jerry began to select people, of course, it was done privately; after they broke through, Jerry chose to go directly into seclusion.

Once another batch of people broke through, this secret would likely be exposed sooner or later; if everyone came looking for him then, wouldn't that be very troublesome?

However, Jerry had also thought of a countermeasure; at worst, he would announce the method of becoming a god through Faith Power and let them go get the Faith Power themselves.

For the first batch of people, Jerry chose Bibi Dong and her disciple Hu Liena, as well as the Cabinet Twelve Elders.

After all, Bibi Dong's God Position was lost because of him, so he would compensate her first by letting her break through to the god level.

In fact, Bibi Dong had a lot of Faith Power on her; even if Jerry didn't help, breaking through to the god level was only a matter of time.

Therefore, Jerry helping Bibi Dong break through in advance would also make Bibi Dong owe him a favor; why not do it?

As for Hu Liena, helping her break through to the god level was to see how the Nine-Tailed Fox would actually be resurrected.

Jerry was very hopeful for the Nine-Tailed Fox to be resurrected now; for some reason, after Dabai evolved to eight tails, the ninth tail just wouldn't evolve.

Also, the foxes raised in the forest had produced two eight-tailed ones, which were also stuck there and couldn't evolve.

Usually, the Nine-Tailed Fox hid in Hu Liena's martial soul and slept, and he couldn't wake it up himself, so he would let Hu Liena break through and see if it would wake up.

If the Nine-Tailed Fox knew that this was what Jerry was thinking, it would truly be wronged to death.

Previously, Jerry comprehended the Life Rule and the Death Rule, and synchronized them directly to the world.

The World Rule is now complete; the Nine-Tailed Fox is currently completely sealed within Hu Liena's martial soul, and since it cannot obtain replenishment from the outside world, it is slowly dissipating.

Previously, the Nine-Tailed Fox estimated that it would take about a thousand years to completely dissipate.

But it never expected one thing: there is a monster like Jerry in the outside world who, through a thousand reincarnations, has comprehended the Life and Death Rules very deeply, reaching 80% in both.

After this 80% of the Life Rule and Death Rule was synchronized to the world, it doomed the Nine-Tailed Fox; it cannot get out, has no way to call for help, and the speed of its soul dissipation has increased several times over. At the current rate, it will truly die in at most one hundred years.

Therefore, every day is now an ordeal for the Nine-Tailed Fox.

However, it is still persisting and has not given up.

It is currently gambling; what if it gets lucky and Hu Liena becomes a god within these hundred years? Or if Hu Liena falls within these hundred years, it could escape.

However, given Hu Liena's talent and the fact that she is a member of the Spirit Hall, barring any accidents, the possibility of her falling within a hundred years is extremely small, and at the same time, without its help, the possibility of her becoming a god is also extremely small.

So its bet is actually placed on Jerry; if Jerry wants the Nine-Tailed Fox's blood, then he will inevitably help Hu Liena.

In its view, Jerry is bound to become a god; the Fairy Queen has already symbiotically bonded with him, so becoming a god is only a matter of time.

With the help of a god, the probability of Hu Liena becoming a god is very high.

Therefore, it tries its best to shrink its soul within Hu Liena's martial soul, making its soul dissipate more slowly.

As for the Cabinet Twelve Elders, the first six elders were originally retainers of the Elder Hall, while the latter six elders were recruited by himself.

Over these many years, the contributions of the Twelve Elders have been obvious to all; for many matters, Jerry would initiate them, and the remaining work would be executed by the Twelve Elders.

Wuhun City being able to develop so steadily is inseparable from the contributions of the Twelve Elders.

At the very beginning, the first six elders would still have some small tricks, but they were all insignificant.

They were also working wholeheartedly for the Spirit Hall; it was just that they had stood on different sides before.

But now, the Spirit Hall is basically of one mind; the Great Elder and Bibi Dong, even if not completely reconciled, are no longer mutually restraining each other.

Qian Renxue played a very key role in this, and now the relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue can be said to be quite good.

Whether it is the Great Elder or Bibi Dong, they do not want to manage affairs anymore; they originally wanted to hand things over to Jerry long ago and hold the Saint Son enthronement ceremony for Jerry, but Jerry refused. With the improvement of his cultivation, he really does not look down upon this bit of power now.

So the people who are ostensibly managing the Spirit Hall now are actually the Cabinet Twelve Elders.

Except for the Twelfth Elder Gong Ya, who is mainly responsible for research, the other eleven elders are all managing practical affairs.

On the surface, the other eleven elders have more power, and this was a situation Jerry deliberately created in the beginning.

In reality, most of the tasks of the other eleven elders revolve around the elder of the Research Department.

The Research Department is responsible for research, and the research results are distributed to the other eleven departments for execution.

This is why the Research Department is rumored in the outside world to be the most low-key and mysterious department.

Although the Research Department is not very famous, the Research Academy is well-known.

After all, anyone who has attended the Spirit Hall Academy knows that the Research Academy is the highest institution within the academy, and not just anyone can get in.

As for the Research Department above the Research Academy, many people dare not even think about it.

The Cabinet Twelve Elders, plus Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, a total of fourteen people—Jerry called them over separately.

He checked their cultivation, and they had all reached Level 99, and their Spirit Power had also reached Level 9; they also possessed quite a bit of Faith Power. By comparison, only Hu Liena's Faith Power was pitifully small.

The Twelve Elders do practical things for the people every day, and Bibi Dong is the current Pope, so it is normal for them to have a lot of Faith Power.

Hu Liena is a bit miserable; she is basically cultivating every day. Previously, as part of the Golden Generation, she still had some fame.

However, with the changes in Wuhun City, apart from cultivation, she has done nothing for the people, and she rarely appears in the public eye, so the Faith Power on her is very little; it is estimated that she only gathered some in the academy.

It seems that if one wants Faith Power, one still has to do practical things for the people; this way, Faith Power will come naturally.

In the future, departments that are easy to obtain Faith Power need to be screened out, and some of his own people should be arranged to go there to gain more Faith Power.

Afterward, Jerry explained to them the issue of becoming a god, how to break through to become a god, and how to survive the God Tribulation after breaking through.

Hearing this, everyone was first astonished, and then upon knowing they could become gods, they were all extremely excited.

Jerry told them not to spread it outside yet; there were still some preparations before the tribulation that were not yet done, and they needed to go do them in advance.

At the very least, the Tribulation Crossing Site must be repaired; every time they crossed the tribulation there before, the entire ground was pitted and scarred by lightning, so even if the Array was re-laid, the ground needed to be repaired first.

Also, the fact that the Array was used to cross the God Tribulation before would be counted as part of one's own strength; actually, this is fine, as the Array is inherently part of one's strength.

But Jerry still had a way; thinking of the novels he read in his past life, when cultivators cross a tribulation, besides Arrays, they can also use magical artifacts and pills.

Magical artifacts are hard to handle; compared to the Thunder Tribulation, Soul Guidance Devices are very fragile.

Once struck by the Thunder Tribulation or hit by external force, even a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device is very prone to damage; the power of a Soul Guidance Device and its own defense are not proportional.

This weapon needs to be studied further in the future; Soul Guidance Devices are definitely not enough, unless there is some way to prevent external forces from destroying the Rule Runes inside.

Then there are only pills and Arrays. If the previous Defense Array is counted as part of one's strength, the effect of the Array is reduced a lot, unless a more powerful Array is researched.

This Array is not easy to research, but pills are possible. Jerry first thought of the Tribulation Pill; this kind of pill is mainly used for crossing a tribulation, but in many novels, the effects of the Tribulation Pill are different.

Jerry alone has seen that in some novels, it is written that the Tribulation Pill is a miraculous medicine for healing; after crossing half the tribulation, when spiritual power is exhausted and the body is injured, eating it allows one to be fully revived and continue crossing the tribulation.

Others write that the Tribulation Pill can resist the power of the Thunder Tribulation; after eating the Tribulation Pill, the power of the Thunder Tribulation striking the body becomes smaller, thereby successfully crossing the tribulation.

There are many other claims, which I will not explain one by one.

Jerry is prepared to start from this aspect: instantly healing injuries, recovering soul power, and temporarily increasing defense.

Ordinary herbs are of course not enough for this kind of pill; not to mention Immortal Herbs, at the very least they must be 100,000-year-old medicinal materials.
