Chapter 1528

~7 min read 1,320 words

Anthony and Negris looked at each other. Without a doubt, they were the two people in Ang's team who understood the operation of the faith network the best—one was the spokesperson for the Seven-Power Unification Origin, and the other was the "god" of common sense.

Do Star-Born have faith?

If they do, their only faith must be the main star. But how could Silver Coin sense the rhythm of faith from the other party?

"Does this mean that being a profiteer is its faith? Then what is its relationship with the main star? Does it not have a main star? Or is it a tiered system?" Negris asked in confusion.

Ulsman asked in bewilderment: "What is a tiered system?"

"It's a system with one main god and multiple subordinate gods, tiered downwards, just like the Church of Light... oh, you aren't from the Chaos Plane, you don't know the Church of Light," Negris said.

"I do know that. You all came from there; I've already inquired clearly. Do the lord and us currently belong to this kind of tiered system?" Ulsman asked.

"Uh, no. He himself belongs to a multi-layered system, possessing a pile of godhoods, each with its own subordinate gods under it. But we established a soul connection with him, sharing the entire faith network. That is to say, even if we aren't subordinate gods under this system, we can borrow the divine power of this godhood," Negris explained.

"A mixed system? So that's how it is. Then what position do I belong to in this system?" Ulsman asked.

Negris looked him over with a complex expression and said: "Strictly speaking, you don't belong to the godhood system; you belong to the Heroic Spirit system."

"What is the Heroic Spirit system?" Ulsman asked.

Negris said: "In essence, you don't exist. But there was once a person named Ulsman, and everyone called him the Wise One, thinking he was omniscient and possessed superior wisdom. So, everyone imagined a Wise One with superior wisdom. This collective imagination was captured by Ang and formed you."

"So you are a spiritual body created by Ang, based on Ulsman as a prototype, and re-created through collective imagination. My Huang Tong Book granted you the ability to think. Of course, now that you have a body and consciousness, you don't need to rely on the Huang Tong Book to think anymore," Negris explained.

Ulsman wasn't surprised by Negris's words, because he knew most of it, just not so systematically. After pondering for a while, he said: "So I am a created Heroic Spirit, in the same system as the Little Angel?"

Negris blinked his eyes and said with some realization: "According to what you say, it really is the same system. The difference is that the Little Angel is a god's imagination, while you are a collective imagination. So one is a Heroic Spirit, and the other is a Holy Spirit."

Ulsman thought for a moment and asked again: "If the lord has a need, can he create a large number of Wise Ones using me as a prototype?"

Negris nodded: "Yes, but it would only be a prototype, without your memories. At most, they would just be Wise Ones, not you."

Ulsman looked at Negris with some surprise and asked: "Lord Negris, are you comforting me?"

Negris's old face flushed. He was afraid his words would make Ulsman fall into self-doubt. After all, a Heroic Spirit is essentially just a spiritual body imagined by a group, created out of thin air, and not the same thing as the "Ulsman" in his memories.

"Thank you very much, but this question is not enough to trouble my wisdom." Ulsman smiled and said thanks, then said:

"The lord can copy memories; theoretically, he can create countless versions of me. But this is also a good thing, as it means I can live forever in the lord's memories."

Negris spread his hands: "Alright, it seems you have enough wisdom to resolve this kind of confusion."

The greatest confusion in life is "Who am I?" This kind of confusion is an even more critical, substantive issue in Ang's group, because most of them were "manufactured" by Ang.

Admittedly, they have bodies and consciousness in the dimensional space, but in essence, their consciousness was also copied into the dimensional space by Ang. Those people from the Chaos Plane had already died when Ang fought the Red Giant Sphere.

Although Ulsman is a local Heroic Spirit, Heroic Spirits are essentially manufactured by Ang as well. He would also face the same confusion as those people from the Chaos Plane.

Negris was worried that his self-perception would have problems and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't expect the other party to not feel confused at all. It was Negris who had overthought it.

While Negris was discussing Heroic Spirits with Ulsman, Silver Coin had already approached the Blue Star-Born again, opening his mouth to say: "The things you said just now, I feel they make a lot of sense. 'If you don't pay, do you want to starve me to death?' I have never heard such reasonable words."

The Blue Star-Born said with pleasant surprise: "You think it makes sense too, right? I said so, surely someone could understand me. We stand here, and we are constantly consuming power..."

"Time cost," Silver Coin said.

"Yes, yes, yes, time cost. Time also has a cost. The time I consume, the power I consume, the divine light I bathe in, all have costs. Some people actually want to take information from me without paying," the Blue Star-Born said with disdain.

"Depreciation, lifespan, wear and tear, damage—all irreversible consumption must be calculated into depreciation," Silver Coin said.

"Depreciation? Depreciation is irreversible consumption? That makes sense. Then what about power? Divine light? These are reversible," the Blue Star-Born asked humbly for advice.

"These can be calculated as..." Silver Coin gave the other party a lesson in cost accounting.

The Blue Star-Born felt that what Silver Coin said aligned perfectly with its understanding, and couldn't help but regard Silver Coin as a soulmate, listening very earnestly, completely unable to see the "divine light" belonging to the faith system flashing on Silver Coin's body.

The divine light of the faith system can only be seen by people of the faith system. Anthony noticed the divine light on Silver Coin and said in surprise: "It can really condense faith?"

"Divine light appeared so quickly. This Star-Born's faith origin power is very strong," Xisluo said, leaning over.

Xisluo was also a god, specializing in mysticism, so he knew very well how much faith origin power was needed for divine light to appear. Silver Coin had no divine power at all, yet now divine light appeared, relying only on the faith of one Star-Born?

Everyone's attention was on Silver Coin and the Blue Star-Born. Just then, Ang suddenly put down the space-time chessboard and looked around in confusion.

Luo Mu Luo Er noticed Ang's abnormality and also looked around in confusion. After a full ten seconds or so, Luo Mu Luo Er's expression changed drastically, his eyes widening as he looked at Ang in disbelief.

His and Ang's abnormality were noticed by the others. Anthony hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Luo Mu Luo Er said: "My main body felt a tremor."

"Look at how scared you are. What kind of tremor? Is it very powerful?" Negris asked.

Luo Mu Luo Er ignored him and looked at Ang, asking: "What did you feel?"

"Tremor," Ang said.

Everyone looked at each other. It seemed to feel very powerful, but they didn't know where the power lay.

Luo Mu Luo Er said: "He felt a tremor. Ten seconds later, I also felt a tremor."

Anthony blinked his eyes, then suddenly gasped: "You felt a tremor here, and your main body felt a tremor there too? A tremor that crossed the branch?"
