Chapter 557

Two Undead Godheads, one in the main body, and one on this physical vessel.

When Ang revealed the two Godheads, everyone was shocked: "Why would there be two Undead Godheads?"

"This, main body, phantom, this, mine," Ang explained in distress.

Negris said: "I know, I'm asking why there would be two Undead Godheads, what did you do? Shouldn't a Godhead have uniqueness?"

Ang scratched his head in distress and shook it: "Don't know, I, Sacred Fire, belief, just like this."

Such a helpless tone almost made Negris sick with anger; it had struggled through hardships for so many years before finally igniting one divine fire, yet Ang already had five or six Godheads on him, and now there were actually two Undead Godheads?

"It's estimated that the two worlds are too far apart, and the belief network is not connected, so a second belief network was generated, but this network had no fulcrum and kept entangling with the Undead Sacred Fire until my lord came into contact with the Sacred Fire, and only then did this network find a fulcrum, forming a second Undead Godhead," Anthony speculated.

However, these were all wild guesses; although Anthony had read a vast amount of religious texts and legends, and had also burned quite a few, he really didn't know how the belief system operated when it involved two completely isolated worlds.

"Fulcrum? So the belief network of the Goddess of Redemption also couldn't form a Godhead just because there was no fulcrum?" Negris asked in confusion: "What is a fulcrum?"

Anthony pondered for a moment, and finally looked at Negris; this action of his also made Du Luo Ken suddenly realize, and he also looked at Negris.

Only Negris didn't react, and asked inexplicably: "Why are you looking at me?"

"The fulcrum might just be this crow's mouth of yours; think about how many fires you've ignited," Anthony said.

"Pfft, what does that have to do with me? If I say Ang is the Main God of Light, could he really prop up the belief network of the God of Light?" Negris replied in annoyance.

Anthony spread his hands: "That's hard to say, what if? You should say a few more things."

"Pah, Anthony has no penis, Anthony peeks at minotaurs bathing, Anthony doesn't bathe..." Negris kept "talking" non-stop.

Anthony hurriedly leaned over to the little angel and whispered.

Negris immediately closed its mouth in vigilance and shrank behind Ang, guarding against the little angel jumping over to poke its eye sockets.

Seeing that they also couldn't come up with a better explanation, Ang had no choice but to study it himself in distress.

Two Undead Godheads, one on the main body and one on this vessel, separated by two worlds, but they seemed to be able to resonate.

The abnormality of the Undead Sacred Fire also attracted the attention of all participants of the Sacred Fire Festival; some elderly people couldn't help but kneel down and pray silently.

For the Undead Temple to have reached this state today, priests like Kent could be said to have a great responsibility; they pushed the responsibility onto the lack of manifest divine power, which was very wrong.

The Church of Light in the main plane hadn't shown many miracles in the last thousand years either, yet its development speed far exceeded the past; why? Because spreading faith didn't require any miracles, one only needed to know how to put on an act.

Some say bringing the dead back to life is a miracle, then wouldn't rubbing a fireball with bare hands count as a miracle? Wouldn't summoning a rock giant count as a miracle? Wouldn't a typhoon count as a miracle?

Things that gods could do, mages could also do; to ordinary people, there was no difference. Miracles could kill people, so fireball spells couldn't kill people, right? The important thing is knowing how to put on an act.

A purification spell that could purify water until it was clean could be disguised as holy light, so couldn't an electric shock spell that could shock a little fat dragon back to life be disguised as a resurrection spell?

If Anthony were to be this High Priest, the Undead Temple would have long ago unified the entire plane; how could it have fallen into this current circus mode, where even the temple had collapsed?

Anthony highly suspected that Kent invited the Undead Sacred Fire away not because he wanted to collect faith, but because the temple was in disrepair, and he was afraid of being crushed by it, so he left in a hurry.

With the Undead Temple in such a state, one could imagine to what extent those believers could be pious; the vast majority of people were here to "celebrate the festival," not to pay respects.

Festivals, everyone likes them, right? Gathering together to be lively and happy, how great; usually, there weren't this many people even at a market, and a large number of traveling merchants came from all over, undercutting each other's prices, and everyone could purchase a pile of cheap goods—it was simply a lively shopping festival.

Revelry and shopping were the themes of the Sacred Fire Festival.

However, those were the themes for young people; most elderly people came here still wanting to find peace for their souls—the older they got, the more they revered the Undead Sacred Fire.

Feeling the decline of their bodily functions, and having to spend over ten minutes to crawl out of bed after opening their eyes every day, these elderly people would be filled with fear of death.

So, that's why I'm saying, how incompetent are priests like Kent? Fear was originally the best way to spread faith; just by intimidating them, faith would come, yet he actually managed to mess it up like this.

Noticing the abnormality of the Undead Sacred Fire, the elderly people began to pray, muttering words.

Ang received this kind of on-site prayer most clearly, and it was also the easiest to fulfill; for example, everyone's prayers were things like "good health," "ears not deaf and eyes not blurry," "don't wet the bed at night," and occasionally a few "hoping to stand up" were already considered very excessive.

This was very easy; Ang, who was accustomed to equivalent exchange, would return a Purification Spell upon sensing that there was sufficient soul flame.

Then these pious elderly people would feel a flash of light, and a warm current would slowly surge through their bodies.

The Purification Spell was not an ordinary healing spell; it had the effect of healing, purifying, and restoring vitality; it could even turn a withered lich into something fresh and tender, let alone these elderly people who hadn't yet been buried.
