Chapter 91
Along the way, they played while traveling. They encountered several waves of bandits midway, but upon seeing Jerry's camper and the Spirit Hall emblem on it, none of them dared to make a move. This left Xiao Wu, a little girl who was a bit violent, very depressed. She had originally thought about encountering a few waves of bandits to relieve her boredom, but as soon as they saw the Spirit Hall emblem, they didn't dare to move, and some even knelt directly on the ground to beg for mercy.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu had no choice. After all, she couldn't attack people who had no power to fight back, but many of the bandits were just ordinary people.
After Jerry inquired about it, most of them were ordinary poor commoners. They had no money and couldn't run away. Now there were riots everywhere, and the armies sent by the empires were searching everywhere every day. Some violent spirit masters directly started causing destruction, which made it impossible for ordinary people to live normally.
So many people simply didn't live in the cities anymore and ran into the mountains and forests outside to become bandits. However, they didn't rob just anyone; they only robbed merchant caravans with noble emblems. There were many spirit masters among the nobles, and they relied on their large numbers to fight hard against the noble caravans. Every time, there were heavy casualties, but succeeding once meant that many people could go to Wuhun City. For the sake of their descendants, many people risked everything.
Hearing this situation, Jerry, Lingling, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing all fell silent. Although Jerry originally knew that it would affect civilians, the later opening of airplanes and the discounted sale of soul guidance rings were all to reduce the suffering of civilians. But there were still so many people affected, which made Jerry think of a sentence: "When it rises, the people suffer; when it falls, the people suffer." In this world, spirit masters are, after all, a minority, and most people are ordinary people.
Jerry took out something like a seal and then had these people line up, stamping them one by one on their hands. This was made by Jerry using special materials, and except for the special potion in Wuhun City, it generally couldn't be washed off.
Jerry told them that with the seal on their hands, they could directly take an airplane to Wuhun City, and Wuhun City would arrange their future lives.
Hearing this, many people ran out of the forest and kowtowed as soon as they saw Jerry.
Looking at the crowd of people kneeling in front of him, Jerry was suddenly a bit at a loss. Jerry's actions were equivalent to saving their lives, so they all knelt on the ground to thank Jerry.
Suddenly, Jerry felt white light spots flying toward him, one by one, and they disappeared as soon as they flew into Jerry's sea of consciousness.
For several days in a row, he kept encountering this situation.
More and more white spots merged into Jerry's sea of consciousness, and the crystal ball in the sea of consciousness directly began to tremble. A portion of the white spots merged into the crystal ball, and a portion merged into Jerry's soul.
Jerry suddenly thought that these seemed to be the power of faith. Jerry remembered that the Sea God became a god through the power of faith.
Every time the power of faith merged, the sea of consciousness began to slowly grow larger, boundless and limitless, and then the soul emitted wisps of golden things, beginning to change Jerry's entire body. Jerry could feel that as the golden things merged into his entire body, first his blood began to slowly turn yellow, finally becoming golden, and then his physical body also began to change. Slowly, Jerry's whole person began to glow, and from a distance, he looked holy and solemn.
Jerry put away the golden light with a single thought and felt that his current body was particularly comfortable. With a sweep of his divine sense, one-third of the entire continent's area was in full view. Jerry felt that with a single thought, he could seemingly control the entire area under his divine sense.
He tried it, and in front of him, where there was originally green vegetation and trees growing, a main road appeared directly, and the trees were also neatly arranged on both sides of the road, as if it had originally been like this.
Then, with a thought, he appeared in Wuhun City; with a thought, he appeared in the Heaven Dou Empire; with a thought, he appeared in the Star Luo Empire; and finally, he returned to the side of Xiao Wu and the others.
The people nearby saw the main road that had appeared in front of them and called it a miracle, and then they kowtowed to Jerry even more piously.
Seeing everyone kowtowing non-stop, Jerry also had a headache and said, "Everyone get up, don't kowtow anymore!"
Then he saw everyone stand up. "Holy crap, 'words follow the law'!" Have I become a god now? No, I haven't become a god yet. Now I can only say I've become a divine body and have a portion of divine might, because of the laws of heaven and earth in the Douluo Continent, one must reach Level 100 to become a god.
"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, Lingling, the matter here is finished, let's go quickly! Otherwise, they'll start kowtowing again in a while!" Jerry said.
"Okay!" Then the few of them flew away directly on their swords.
When they arrived at a place where there was no one, everyone couldn't help but ask, "Jerry, what happened to you?"
"I can't explain this clearly either. It seems that after these people knelt and worshipped me, I received the power of faith, and then it changed my body into a divine body. Now it's just that my level isn't high enough. When I reach Level 100, I should be able to become a god directly." Jerry said.
"What? Become a god directly? Don't you need a god's trial?" Lingling asked. She had seen in the Spirit Hall's records that one needed a god's trial to become a god.
"Yeah, it's not needed. How do you think the first batch of people who became gods arrived? There were no god's trials back then either. And the current Sea God also cultivated to become a god by condensing the power of faith himself." Jerry said.
"Can we do it too?" Zhuqing asked.
"It's a bit difficult. First, you need your spiritual power to break through 9,999 meters, then open up the sea of consciousness, condense the soul, transform the spiritual power into divine sense, and then absorb a lot of the power of faith before you can become a god yourself. The only other way to become a god is through a god's trial!" Jerry explained.
"That's so hard!" Xiao Wu said.
"Becoming a god is still a long way off! Don't think too much for now, let's cultivate first!" Jerry said.
"Zhuqing, you have to work hard! If I remember correctly, the emperors of the Star Luo Empire have always been chosen from the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul. Your Nether Family has always intermarried with the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul, so does that mean your Nether Family also has the qualifications to inherit the throne?" Jerry asked.
"I suppose so! Unless the Evil Eye White Tiger family has no heirs in the current generation, they will choose a genius spirit master from the Nether Family to inherit the throne, but it's only a transition. Later, if a genius spirit master from the Evil Eye White Tiger family appears, the Council of Elders will make the Nether Family return the throne." Zhuqing said.
"Actually, the Council of Elders is the most hateful. These regulations were all formulated by them, saying that only those who have defeated other princes can inherit the throne, and such an emperor can lead the empire to prosperity. In fact, the emperors chosen this way for so many years have not led the empire to strength."
"The two great empires actually both want to destroy the other and then unify the continent, but the Spirit Hall is located at the border of the two great empires and has powerful strength, which has always blocked the two great empires, so the one they want to destroy the most is still the Spirit Hall."
"Do you know why the two great empires don't have any Titled Douluos now?"
"There used to be, and then they started wars and were directly wiped out by the offerings of the Spirit Hall, so the two great empires have actually been enduring and developing!"
"It's just that now, the Spirit Hall has produced you. Jerry's development in the Spirit Hall has put too much pressure on the two great empires. On the surface, they have no way to deal with it, so they can only act in the dark, such as this time when the two great empires jointly refused to issue spirit master subsidies. It's just that I didn't expect the power of a small newspaper to be so great, directly letting everyone know that it was the two great empires that refused to issue them, which is why these civilian spirit masters are targeting the two great empires." Zhuqing said.
