Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Chen Yi and Yin Senyong breathed greedily of the scorching air.

The two sat in the curtained enclosure at the center of Pu Chan Temple's Guangchang, surrounded by various consecrated items, with chanting monks on both sides and nothing but steady incantations in their ears.

Though they were at the very center, apart from the abbot of Pu Chan Temple, no one knew there were people among the consecrated items; according to Chen Yi's thinking, since they were borrowing the consecration ceremony to perform a faith ritual, they might as well consecrate himself and Yin Senyong.

"Do I really not need to choose the 'Loyalty to the Temple' faith?" Amidst the monks' loud chanting, Yin Senyong was reluctant to give up a faith. This was a religion with 80 million believers and 300 million followers; who knew how many benefits choosing "Loyalty to the Temple" would bring?

Chen Yi sat cross-legged, without raising his head: "Buddhism has many rules; if you choose the 'Loyalty to the Temple' faith, you simultaneously choose vegetarianism, no killing, abstaining from anger, and so on—the power is great, but you might not be able to bear it. No meat, no killing, no women, certainly no children, no anger, you must endure everything; are you ready to be the most pathetic Holy Knight?"

"Holy Knight? Divine Spell Knight." Yin Senyong had used high-grade konjac today; he did not know of the Saint Qiao Kingdom's existence, so his mind quickly turned to the enviable Five Divine Spell Knights or Eight Divine Spell Knights.

He said while sucking his saliva: "We have 500,000 believers; maybe we can try? Don't waste it."

"Can you persist with so many faiths?" Chen Yi looked at him doubtfully.

"If these commoners can, why can't I?" Yin Senyong looked envious; five faiths plus the four or five he might originally have, if he got half, he could achieve a terrifying Five Divine Spell Knight. Not to mention the Yin Sen Family had never produced one; even in the history of the Wood God Temple, there were only a handful.

Yin Senyong looked expectantly at Chen Yi, who didn't care, only reminding him: "Remember your oath."

According to the "oath" designed in that 268-page pledge document, all of Yin Senyong's divine arts would be linked to "Oath Keeping"; although it could not completely offset the effects of the other oaths, it would greatly restrict his power.

And if Yin Senyong did not choose this oath, the abbot of Pu Chan Temple would not pass all his oaths—according to the rules of the West Continent, if the High Priest invalidates a Divine Spell Knight's prayer and oath during the sacrifice, then he will inevitably fail the selection, thus avoiding some knights who hypocritically want to abandon the "Loyalty to the Temple" oath; this was very useful in the early days.

As they spoke, the consecration ceremony entered its climax.

Inside the hall above the Guangchang, the image of the Buddha shone brightly. The sound of "Press Mimi, grab Baba..." grew louder and louder.

Chen Yi and Yin Senyong fell silent again, each using their own methods to contact the Magic Net and the God of Faith.

The bell rang!

Perhaps it was evening when the sudden bell rang and woke both Yin Senyong and Chen Yi.

The abbot stood before the curtain, facing Chen Yi and Yin Senyong through the curtain.

Having had similar experience, Chen Yi softly swore: I will uphold "Order"

Yin Senyong then swore in a low voice: I will uphold "Oath Keeping", "Honesty", "Mercy", "Words and Deeds Consistent", "Humble Humility", "Abstain from Anger", "Abstain from Lust", "Abstain from Alcohol", "No Stealing"...

Buddhism's Five Precepts and Eight Precepts overlap somewhat with the West Continent's oaths; Yin Senyong tried to choose the parts he could use, even though he had not observed these oaths in the past—if it were at the Wood God Temple, the High Priest would never allow a knight to waste even a bit of divine power, so he would never pass such unprepared oaths. But Chen Yi didn't care; a gathering of 500,000 people was not very taxing, people rode vehicles instead of walking, which lowered their devotion, but compared to the increased numbers, the actual divine power gained was much greater.

When the two finished swearing, the bell also stopped.

The abbot of Pu Chan Temple did not hear any oaths he needed to invalidate, so he prepared to return to the high platform to chant scriptures and continue the celebration work.

Just then, a pillar of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping the curtain.

At the scene, only the sounds of a few people chanting scriptures with closed eyes remained.

The pillar of light was like a golden cudgel, flashing with golden light, bright with almost no dissipation. It was exactly one person thick, gentle and solemn, with a feeling that penetrated the heart.

That was the power of the Magic Net.

Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of believers looked up at the sky, shocked by the miracle they saw.

The pillar of light rose higher and higher, so that more than half the people of Jiangning City could see it.

The eminent monks were like they were drunk, dazedly holding onto anything they could grab around them.

"My Buddha greatly prospers!"

The abbot of Pu Chan Temple grabbed the little novice monk's head, looking at the curtain with incomprehension yet unwillingness to understand.

Having stayed in a religious institution for a long time, no matter why they entered back then, they ultimately hoped to verify the existence of religion—otherwise, it would mean his entire life was meaningless.

The abbot of Pu Chan Temple would have an earth-shaking, completely different second half of his life.

A religion with miracles, even if it were a cult, would develop rapidly.

The abbot's eyes turned red, like two car headlights.

The pillar of light came from Chen Yi.

The change from a Four-pointed Star to a Five-Pointed Star would dissipate a large amount of energy—the divine power of Divine Spell Knights. Of course, this loss was worth it.

When the corner representing "Order" appeared on his left chest, Chen Yi felt a burning energy all over his body. That was the infusion of divine power; he would not only receive the dissipated divine power but also gain new divine power.

Source Energy!

Chen Yi stroked his brand new, hot Five-Pointed Star and softly called out: Divine Art "Pressure Strike".

"Pressure Strike" is a powerful divine art.

The "Order" faith is an uncommon faith, but not a weak one. It may not be as powerful as "Words and Deeds Consistent" and "Honesty", but it is somewhat stronger than "Humble Humility" and "Oath Keeping".

Due to the possible fluctuation of "Order", Chen Yi chose "Pressure Strike", which has both adaptability and offensiveness at this time: the target will generate pressure within a radius equal to their level, causing living beings to lose control of body and mind, and active attacks gain a power bonus.

With Chen Yi's current "Order" divine power, within about ten meters he will be in a quasi-invincible state.

Unless it is a creature like a dragon, it is almost difficult to fight him in close combat.

The attention in the sky dissipated, and the crowd let out regretful exclamations.

The eminent monks' chanting grew louder, as if they wanted to inject the miracle just now into their own bodies.

Reporters and cameramen busied themselves indifferently. Some media wanted to attribute it to paranormal events, like the endless UFOs, while some media tried to explain it with scientific language; the scene was full of wild speculation, but it made the believers happy.

Chen Yi did not immediately perform the procedure on himself; Yin Senyong's divine power infusion seemed to have entered a critical moment.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Chen Yi's voice was not loud, but could be heard clearly in the noisy background.

Yin Senyong said regretfully and happily: "It succeeded."

"How many?"

"'Oath Keeping', 'Honesty', 'Mercy', 'Humble Humility', 'Abstain from Lust', and 'No Stealing' succeeded, six faiths, but the divine power is a bit weak." Saying this, only excitement remained in Yin Senyong's tone.

A Six Divine Power Knight — that practically counts as a legend.

Yin Senyong couldn't help but say: "In the history of the Yin Sen Family, the strongest Divine Art Knight we ever had was a Four Divine Art Knight — that was truly a golden age. Oh, the Wood Dragon Divine Temple once had a high-ranking Five Divine Art Knight, just like you... Your new Choice is 'Order', right? Congratulations, to possess such powerful five Faiths... My 'No Stealing' Faith only got a Dizziness Spell, creatures within range are forced into dizziness, duration and distance determined by Divine Power, sounds good, but my Divine Power is only enough to dizzy at most four targets within two meters for 2 seconds, and it's subject to some Exemption Divine Technique restrictions..."

"Against non-Divine Art Knights, the Dizziness Spell would be quite useful, right?" Chen Yi interrupted his incessant chatter — it was simply too noisy.

Yin Senyong reined in his tongue, lowered his brows and said obediently: "A Combat Knight wouldn't dare resist a Divine Art Knight; it might be useful on the battlefield. My Lord, truly thank you, truly!"

"Don't take it to heart." Chen Yi patted his shoulder affectionately, pointed outside and smiled: "We're not suited to go out right now, let's just sit here and chat."

"Alright. Then let me speak first about the Divine Arts I gained." Yin Senyong paused, and after Chen Yi nodded, continued: "Mercy gained the Divine Art 'Break Barrier', a defensive Divine Art that can dispel attached magic, curses, and transformations — including a Dragon's transformation."

He lowered his voice on that last sentence, speaking cautiously: "If you have any order for me to attack, I will not hesitate in the slightest. The Divine Power Mercy added is truly astonishing — 10,000 people's worth of Divine Power."

"10,000 people?"

"Yes... the unit of Divine Power."

"Oh? How is it determined?"

"Based on Heat, let me demonstrate for you..." As Yin Senyong spoke, he released a trace of Divine Power, and instantly the Heat on the Six-Pointed Star magnified.

Chen Yi did the same, and sure enough gained a more accurate grasp of the Heat on his chest. The West Continent's Divine Art Knights may be relatively behind the Saint Qiao Kingdom, but they did research out some good things after all — this trick, Holy Knight Grindel didn't know.

"'Oath Keeping' gained the Divine Art 'Phase Gate', somewhat like Freedom of Movement but must be actively cast, can pass through obstacles. 'Honesty' got the Divine Art 'Tornado', a powerful offensive Divine Art. 'Humility' I chose 'Detection', and 'Abstain from Lust' I chose 'Regeneration Technique', which can regenerate severed limbs." Yin Senyong finished introducing them in one breath, almost unable to bear asking: "My Lord, will there be such a Celebration Ceremony tomorrow too?"

Chen Yi imagined the Divine Arts Yin Senyong chose, and said: "Of course, can't have people come and just leave; the Celebration Ceremony will last 7 days."

He still didn't know the Miracle he had caused would greatly increase the number of believers coming to attend.

Yin Senyong licked his lips, said quietly: "Too wasteful."

"What, if you still want to try a new Faith, go ahead and try."

"No, failing the 'Words and Deeds Consistent' Faith's appraisal shows the Divine Arts I already possess have exceeded capacity." Yin Senyong said with slight regret, then lowered his voice: "Perhaps we could invite some other Knights to commune with the God Altar?"

"Oh?"

"As long as they can become Divine Art Knights, they'll agree to any conditions." Yin Senyong was very certain of this.
