Chapter 1149: Master Anthony is kind-hearted
This was a closed world. Previously, Ang had sprinkled spores on Nan Mian, but he had never been able to activate them because those spores couldn't perceive information about growth and fell into dormancy.
Now, the Lord of the Starborn had run to the Sea of Omniscience and brought back information about growth. The spores began to develop, grow, and mimic into a dwarf tree, becoming Ang's anchor point. Now, Ang was using this spore as an anchor, pulling the relocation airship toward here, just like a tracker.
If this anchor point was destroyed, the relocation airship would immediately lose its anchor.
Although he could develop other spores as anchor points, according to the current speed, by the time Ang arrived, the living beings in the entire world would probably be dead.
Realizing this, Anthony immediately said: "I'll go."
"Are you crazy? This is a closed space, and there is a Divine Star. If they have the ability like Clam to close the entire space, your consciousness will be sealed, and Ang won't be able to save you," Negris said urgently.
Since having Clam, the danger of closed spaces had risen sharply. Simple consciousness projection had become unsafe because it couldn't be ruled out that someone could isolate consciousness in the space like Clam, just like when they dealt with Bei Mian back then.
If Anthony's existence was exposed and the other party launched a similar seal, even Ang might not necessarily be able to save Anthony.
"If I come from the outside, they will close the space. If I was born here, why would they close the space? Watch me, you go first," Anthony said.
Anthony darted downward, then emerged from the ground behind the girl, revealing his divine form, and a sacred voice chanted: "Divine Star—Descend!"
A look of astonishment appeared on the girl's face again. What's the situation? The Divine Star has descended? She had prayed ten thousand times before, and the Divine Star had never descended once. Why was it so sudden today?
Originally, she held the belief of certain death. When the Star God, the creator of the world, turned into a demon and wanted to destroy the entire world, the only thing she could do was resist, not wait for death.
She didn't think she would get any power or help at all, because the Divine Star she believed in was often regarded as one with the Star God.
The Divine Star was the big fireball in the center of the world, and the Star God was the descendant of the Divine Star. If the descendant of the Divine Star wanted to destroy the world, would it be useful for her to pray to the Divine Star?
Was it really useful? When Anthony chanted and entered her body, she thought the Divine Star had really descended.
"Your name, my divine messenger." Anthony's majestic voice sounded in the girl's heart.
Natalia shivered subconsciously and said loudly: "Natalia, my name is Natalia, I... I..."
Natalia wanted to say she wasn't a divine messenger; she was just an ordinary Saintess and didn't count for much in the Divine Star worship religion.
Anthony seemed to know what she wanted to say and interrupted before she could finish: "I heard your prayer. From now on, you are my messenger. Run first." After saying this, he urged Natalia to fly up.
Anthony not only guessed what she was thinking but could even infer her general experience because he was too familiar with the development context.
When this closed world possessed tens of millions or hundreds of millions of intelligent beings, primitive faith worship would inevitably be born.
The atheists at the Star Academy criticized faith and religion, but in the final analysis, faith and religion were just a way for intelligent beings to understand the world.
When you don't recognize lightning, earthquakes, and volcanoes, worshiping and believing in them is your way of understanding them. Various powerful forces, disasters, and giant beasts could all become objects of your worship. Various objects of worship formed your understanding of the world. You feel that the entire world is composed of deities.
When civilization develops, you know that lightning is a natural phenomenon, and giant beasts can be defeated, enslaved, or even farmed with tools. You will start to worship weapons, combat power, and tools, and then produce faiths like the God of War, God of Forging, God of Alchemy, etc.
Going further, when you recognize the efficiency of commerce, the stability of planting, and the power of knowledge, you will worship the God of Commerce, God of Planting, and God of Knowledge.
When your understanding of the world reaches a higher level, knowing that so-called deities are just powerful existences, you will become atheists, striving to become Truth Law Gods, Truth Sword Saints, and master god-like power.
At each stage, intelligent beings will have different understandings of the world, develop different faiths, and also be affected by the environment.
In this world, the Divine Star was the unique one, and Natalia's prayer already had a certain amount of human modification.
Ancient, eternal, never-extinguished, brilliant, etc., were not descriptions but modifications. Natalia even had the concept of a divine messenger.
In summary, this faith was almost at the stage from totem worship to religious germination.
As an old charlatan, Anthony was too familiar with this. He could even guess that this faith hadn't ignited divine fire, meaning there was no divinity yet, because there was no divine aura on Natalia.
They believed in the Divine Star, but the Divine Star was not their god, just as the Elf race believed in the God of Life, but the God of Life was not a god.
Having faith power but no divinity, what was this like? Was it like the Church of Light after the fall of the gods back then?
If it was really like this, then Anthony was very happy to be a fire thief, a fire thief stealing faith fire.
Of course, these were all Anthony's guesses. Whether it was true or not, he didn't know. Now the most important thing was to save his life first. Run!!
Natalia only felt a powerful force pushing... no, patting on her body. With a whoosh, her entire body darted out. Instantly, she felt all her internal organs squeezed together, her eyes bloodshot, blood vessels ruptured, and her whole body felt tearing pain, as if her hair and scalp were being thrown off.
But the next moment, streams of sacred power poured into her body—purification, healing, toughness, rebirth, repeating and echoing—Grand Echo Technique.
Natalia felt her broken body being repaired quickly, her weak body constantly strengthening, the tearing pain disappeared, and she darted out like a lightning bolt.
The Nan Mian Strike had a flaw: it couldn't attack high-speed moving targets. When Natalia moved, Nan Mian stared at her movement trajectory for a long time, then shifted his gaze, placed it on another city, and threw it.
After throwing the Nan Mian Strike, Nan Mian darted forward, chasing after Natalia quickly.
Looking at the figure darting down at high speed, Negris let out a breath. At least the anchor point was preserved. He just prayed for Ang to arrive quickly and not let the dead charlatan fail.
The dead charlatan said something about protecting the anchor point, but Negris saw through him at a glance. This dead charlatan couldn't bear to see so many people die in front of him.
Anthony just said 'even if deified, I wouldn't be able to keep up with his movements', but now he deified himself and descended onto an ordinary person, wanting to try to do something. Master Anthony is kind-hearted. ===== CHAPTER 1150 =====
