Chapter 410: Dark Faith! Chaotic Divine Power!
On the Continent of Gods, the elves' cultivation efforts continue.
The expansion of the Hilin Kingdom's military is also proceeding smoothly.
Lin Yan's several Holy Maidens' plans are also progressing smoothly.
The Hunhe Duchy has no idea it has already jumped into the great pit dug for it by Lin Yan's several Holy Maidens, and is now sweeping the entire nation with a wave of sorghum cultivation.
Currently, sorghum cultivation in the Hunhe Duchy has reached over seventy percent of its total land area.
The power of gold coins is more terrifying than imagined.
Perhaps someone in the Hunhe Duchy has discovered Hilin Kingdom's intentions, but those people are certainly not those in power.
In fact, the five churches of the Hunhe Duchy are also vigorously promoting sorghum cultivation.
Not because they need gold coins.
But because the gods above these five churches have discovered that their faith power has increased significantly!
Yes, the more prosperous a nation, the more faith power it generates.
Thus, each of these five gods has issued divine decrees to further expand sorghum cultivation, allowing commoners and nobles to earn more gold coins.
Hmm, gold coins indeed bring faith.
But they never realize this faith is fleeting.
Thus, under the churches' leadership, the Hunhe Duchy sinks deeper and deeper into the pit.
The Hilin Kingdom has not yet gone to war with the Horden Kingdom.
In the Dark Forest, no attacks by dark matter against the elves have been detected.
But in the Abyss, Succubus Natasha has led a thousand succubi to find a passage and reach the Dark Abyss she spoke of.
Abyssal passages naturally do not connect only to the layer directly above or below; some hidden passages lead to layers far removed, though they require careful searching.
Under Succubus Natasha's leadership, war has already ignited in that layer of the Abyss, teeming with scavengers.
The thousand succubi have united as one force, picking off the scavengers one by one, and with Succubus Natasha's Seventh Rank power, the war is proceeding smoothly.
They have quickly conquered one-tenth of the area of that Abyssal layer.
Meanwhile, in the upper layers of the Abyss, Lin Yan, who is still driving the flames to burn the Insect Abyss, has noticed something unusual.
In his virtual divine core, there is something different.
【Divine Name: Lord of Flame
Temple: 15
Holy Maidens: 8
Faith Power: 75KW
Dark Faith: 1258
Divine Power: 18
Advanced Divine Power: 10
Chaotic Divine Power: 0
Skills: Blessing, Analysis, Benediction】
Two new columns have appeared in the virtual divine core.
Dark Faith, Chaotic Divine Power.
And the number for Dark Faith continues to rise.
"Is this faith power coming from Succubus Natasha?"
Lin Yan murmured in surprise.
He checked the records of his virtual divine core, then turned his gaze toward Succubus Natasha.
Soon, Lin Yan felt he understood what Dark Faith and Chaotic Divine Power were.
Succubus Natasha's faith is indeed Dark Faith, but the quantity is very small.
How could soulless Abyssal creatures contribute much faith?
Abyssal demonic gods do not rely on faith power for sustenance at all.
But what do Abyssal demonic gods need?
Chaos!
War!
Thus, throughout the Abyss, war and chaos are endless.
The upper layers of the Abyss are already chaotic enough, but perhaps because they are too weak and too small, with too few Abyssal creatures, the demonic gods have not yet turned their attention there.
But the lower layers of the Abyss are constantly at war.
In the realms of the Abyssal demonic gods, war is endless and chaos is everywhere.
Countless Abyssal creatures slaughter one another.
The Abyss is vast; the dead are always replaced faster than they are born. In fact, even as Abyssal creatures endlessly kill each other, the total population of all Abyssal life continues to rise steadily.
Especially the Insect Abyss—even after Lin Yan burned it once, a year later, it is again teeming with insects.
And many Abyssal creatures are in fact born from the metamorphosis of insects.
One could say the Insect Abyss has given birth to over thirty percent of all Abyssal creatures.
"So, Dark Faith is actually drawn from chaos and war? And Chaotic Divine Power is the divine power possessed by Abyssal demonic gods?"
Lin Yan thought.
He felt his guess was correct.
Chaotic Divine Power is a term used by the virtual divine core, coined to distinguish it from the divine power of celestial gods.
The divine power possessed by Abyssal demonic gods is clearly different from celestial divine power.
It's obvious that if divine power were the same, how could opposition arise?
The divine powers of the Heavenly Realm gods each differ, but in their essential nature, they stand in stark contrast to the divine powers of the Abyssal Demon Gods.
One is primarily composed of faith-based power.
The other is primarily composed of dark faith.
And dark faith means chaos and war!
"No wonder the Abyssal Demon Gods never forget the Continent of Gods—if they could incite chaos on the Continent of Gods, they would gain immensely, wouldn't they?"
Lin Yan thought.
The chaos the Abyssal Demon Gods sought was entirely different from the War of Faith waged by the Heavenly Realm gods.
The War of Faith was really fought between the churches and the royal houses.
This kind of war was an orderly war!
But the chaos the Abyssal Demon Gods desired was the chaos of the entire continent, of countless lives.
Commoners attacked commoners, nobles attacked commoners, nobles attacked nobles.
In short, everyone went mad, seeing everyone but themselves as enemies—just like the Abyss, without rules, the only rule being chaos!
Having understood the origin of dark faith, Lin Yan discovered after further testing that the exchange ratio between dark faith and chaotic divine power was even higher.
It reached a ratio of two hundred thousand to one.
"I wonder what specific effects chaotic divine power has."
