Chapter 1640: You Don't Even Have This Many People

~6 min read 1,151 words

Humans have a saying: if you can't beat them, join them—read the wind, and wisdom lies in knowing when to adapt.

Morania is a sentient godstar; after all, without wisdom, he would be killed instantly.

"Offer your soul imprint to your lord, and you shall receive the protection of the Ghost Sovereign," Anthony said.

Morania hesitated and asked: "Can I not offer my star soul? I am willing to offer my loyalty to the Ghost Sovereign."

"Heh, do you think that would work? If you were me, do you think I would agree?" Anthony asked with a smile.

Morania thought for a moment and said: "No." Then he sighed: "I am willing to offer everything to the Ghost Sovereign, praying for your protection."

As Morania spoke, a great soul oath slowly floated into the air.

Ange waved his hand, and the fire of the oath flew toward him, entering his body.

This was the first time he had accepted a soul oath from a godstar, and its intensity was somewhat outrageous.

If it were the old Ange, he simply could not withstand such a level of oath—he might even be overpowered and possessed by the godstar.

But now it's fine; Ange is already the master of several godstars, and his true form is an unprecedented red giant, so he easily withstands this intensity of star soul oath.

As the star soul oath entered his body, a thick connection was established between him and Morania.

If it were an ordinary soul oath, each node would be linked by a line, each line connecting two nodes, ultimately forming a vast soul network.

But what he now shares with Morania is not a thin line—it is a thick soul channel.

Ange discovered that his soul could project unimpeded onto Morania's body.

How could this be? The godstars with whom he shares soul bonds are not just Morania—Little Fire Man and the Abyssal Maw also have soul bonds with him, and the forcibly subdued Sixth Godstar Melania, Luomurol, and others also share soul bonds with him—so why doesn't this effect occur with them?

Ange told everyone about the problem.

Ursman analyzed: "Others don't have this effect with you, my lord—only Morania does. The difference between Morania and them is that he has a faith network. Could it be the faith network's doing? Do you have such a connection with godstars of the faith system? For example, Little Ghost Soul."

It seems so. Ange looked at the Little Ghost Soul and Kram in his hands—both are connected to him through the faith system, and their power transmission is very smooth and swift.

Their true forms remain in the Boundless Land; what clings to Ange's hands are merely two thoughts, not even avatars, yet he can control their power anytime, anywhere.

Only after coming to the outside world did he never get a chance to use them—except for a brief period when he used Kram's consciousness imprisonment, which involved no large-scale energy transfer, so Ange hadn't noticed this. Now, upon Ursman's reminder, he realized it indeed seemed smoother.

Ursman continued: "The key of the faith network is 'faith'—sincere, strong conviction, proactive; whereas the soul network is more stable, more passive—it exists regardless of belief, but the faith network vanishes without faith."

Anthony immediately understood: "So you mean that although Morania has established a soul bond, because he also possesses the traits of a faith network, energy transmission becomes smoother?"

Ursman nodded and continued: "Moreover, the faith network is dispersed—Morania is merely a node, and this node connects to ten billion believers, so his node is not just a node, but a convergence of ten billion nodes."

Seeing everyone lost in thought, Ursman quickly said: "These are merely my analysis and hypothesis—whether they are true still needs verification."

Ange nodded, tossed out: "Go verify." Then he stood motionless on the spot.

Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si realized Ange had already left, hurriedly hung his own form onto Ange, and then shared Ange's vision.

Opening his eyes, he saw Ange's consciousness had already returned to the Little Fire Man godstar, standing on the Myriad Worlds Divine Tree, looking down upon the godstar's surface.

Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si quickly asked: "What do you want to do?"

Ange condensed a pile of white crystals in his hand, scattered them onto the godstar, and said: "Plant people."

"Plant people? What does that mean? Isn't this just white crystal?" Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si asked, bewildered.

As they spoke, Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si felt someone squeezing in—still two of them.

Normally, only Anthony dares to share Ange's vision; why are there two now?

Looking closely, it was actually Ursman—this guy's courage has grown, daring to share Ange's vision.

But Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si didn't say anything—originally, Ange didn't really care who shared his vision, only everyone still instinctively sorted out closeness, distance, intimacy, and hierarchy, not daring to just cling to Ange like this pet does.

Usually, only after it shares does Anthony dare to share; now there's one more Ursman.

Ange just stood on the Myriad Worlds Divine Tree, continuously scattering white crystals, each one condensed by him through incremental manifestation.

A thumb-sized blank crystal doesn't take much increment mist—filling the white crystal with energy is what makes manifestation of form more laborious.

Ange scattered them like this, unconsciously scattering fifty-odd billion white crystals—this number made Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony unable to help but grow puzzled: are there really that many consciousnesses to fill them?

Because white crystals alone are useless—without consciousness, what would you use to fill them?

Consciousness-less white crystals are merely empty crystals, unable to manifest form or provide faith—except for wasting increment mist, they're of no use.

But Anthony and Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si's worries were quickly dispelled—see, one by one, human star descendants floated up from the godstar's surface.

They looked around with confused faces, glancing left and right, finally sensing Ange on the Myriad Worlds Divine Tree, and all flew toward his position.

Humans—truly humans, not humanoid beings.

Humanoid beings come in many kinds—elves, dwarves, dragon-men, even cave-dwellers—all belong to humanoid beings, but they are not humans.

Yet these condensed star descendants before them are all humans—this means their self-identification is human, hence they manifest the most familiar form.

Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si suddenly thought of a possibility, astonished: "Ange, did you summon humans from your Dimensional World?"

Ange nodded.

Na Nai Nai Nai Nai Nai Ge Li Si slapped his waist, saying: "I knew it—where else could there be so many human consciousnesses? Besides your Dimensional World, only the Azure Godstar's dimensional space. But your Dimensional World doesn't even have this many humans, does it?"
