Chapter 10

"Ding, belief force detected, conditions met, virtual divine avatar can be activated. Activate?"

In a cave on a cliff, Lin Yan heard the system's prompt.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan said: "Activate."

"Virtual divine avatar activated."

Immediately, a new section labeled "Virtual Divine Avatar" appeared separately on Lin Yan's system panel.

The virtual divine avatar's panel was extremely simple:

【Divine Name: To be set

Temple: 1 (pending confirmation)

Holy Maiden: 1 (pending confirmation)

Belief Force: 25 (pending confirmation)

Divine Power: 0

Skill: Blessing】

Without needing to check the system panel, after the virtual divine avatar activated, Lin Yan naturally understood its purpose.

On the Continent of Gods, gods compete for the belief of all beings on the continent.

Generally, only a Tenth Rank Sacred Domain possesses the qualification to touch belief force.

But the virtual divine avatar allows Lin Yan to collect belief force now and possess a small portion of the functions of a true divine avatar.

Of course, the virtual divine avatar is still only virtual, and cannot compare at all to a true divine avatar!

Yet this is already something countless people dream of!

Immediately after, Lin Yan heard a young girl's clear voice through the virtual divine avatar:

"Great God of Flame, the fox maiden Sister Qing Ling voluntarily becomes your Holy Maiden, devoting her life to your temple, may you bless my people and grant us protection…"

The virtual divine avatar can hear the prayers of believers!

Lin Yan listened for a while, then shut off the prayer channel.

"The virtual divine avatar's panel is still gray—does this mean I need to confirm it?"

Lin Yan thought.

He focused his mind on the virtual divine avatar and soon found an invisible thread.

This was the belief thread.

The virtual divine avatar could, like a true divine avatar, open a channel between god and believer through the belief thread.

Lin Yan hesitated, spent a considerable amount of energy points, opened the channel, and sent a flame into it.

In the fox tribe's temple, after the fox chieftain dropped her daughter—the fox maiden Sister Qing Ling's—drop of blood onto the altar, she bowed her head, hands clasped, and waited silently.

The fox maiden Sister Qing Ling also bowed her head slightly, hands gently clasped before her chest, praying devoutly.

"Will the deity respond?"

As she prayed, Sister Qing Ling couldn't help but feel some worry.

Time passed slowly, yet no movement appeared on the altar, but neither Sister Qing Ling nor the fox chieftain showed the slightest impatience.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.

The temple remained utterly silent!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sound of flames burning erupted violently.

"It responded!"

Sister Qing Ling's heart leapt with joy, and she instinctively raised her head to look.

The fox chieftain, reacting quickly, pulled her down.

Sister Qing Ling realized her mistake, immediately suppressing her intense curiosity, keeping her head bowed, daring not to look at the altar at all!

Inside the temple, only the faint sound of burning flames remained.

Both Sister Qing Ling and the fox chieftain knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.

Though they were far from the altar, both now felt an intensely scorching heat!
