Chapter 452: Demon Race Faith (Third Update)

The Faith Power Ren Yidao distributed to Duan Xiaoling was a lot for her, but for him, it was nothing at all.

People's constitutions are different.

The way a Merit entrepreneur earns Merit is also vastly different from others.

Accumulating Faith Power is no difficult task for Ren Yidao.

He himself possesses Incense accumulated over many years, and in his daily life, he practices "doing one good deed a day" to earn Merit; furthermore, he has a Merit Factory in the Divine Path Sect that operates 24/7, all year round, without rest.

In addition to these existing sources of income, after wandering around Demon Emperor City, he gained a new source of Faith income.

And this extra income is... unexpectedly large in quantity!

It is truly large.

The expectations and worship the Demon Race held for that Crown Prince have all been converted into Faith Power.

This is not as simple as the power of a single race, but the integration of the ten thousand races of the Demon Realm; this volume is far greater than other channels.

Moreover, as the name and deeds of the Demon Race Crown Prince gradually spread among the Demon Race, and as more and more demons learn of this "Demon Savior," this Faith Power will only continue to grow.

However, this excessive amount of Faith Power did not cause any strange changes in Ren Yidao, because he diverted this portion of Faith Power to different places.

First, a small portion entered his Dao God Body, while the remaining large portion was redirected to two other locations.

Or rather, it wasn't that he did it actively, but that he didn't stop it.

One place is the shrine within his Consciousness Sea.

This mysterious shrine, which has saved him countless times at various critical junctures, showed a longing for the outside world for the first time and actively absorbed a portion of the Faith Power.

This change piqued Ren Yidao's interest, so he did not stop it.

He is very curious about what kind of surprise this secret—which he considers his greatest trump card and which no one else knows about—will bring him.

The other place, he only sensed the direction of after returning to Beiming Divine Continent.

The direction those Faith Powers flowed toward was not unfamiliar; it was his happy home, the Divine Path Sect.

After the initial confusion, Ren Yidao thought for a moment and identified the suspect stealing his Faith.

"It must be Xinying."

At this moment, the only one in the Divine Path Sect with the deepest connection to him is the daughter born from Faith Power.

Although he does not know what she needs this Faith Power for, Ren Yidao had no intention of stopping her and let her absorb it.

He doesn't have a use for it anyway; since the child wants it, he will give it to the child.

After calculating, the destination of this Faith Power is more or less clear.

The Dao God takes two parts, the shrine takes three and a half parts, Xinying takes three and a half parts, and in the end, only the remaining one part is Ren Yidao's own.

But do not think Ren Yidao is tightening his belt to treat himself poorly; that is simply impossible.

It's already good enough that he doesn't freeload off others; where would he get such a spirit of self-sacrifice...

The Dao God is also himself, so the two combined make three parts; besides, he follows the Incense Divine Dao, which takes a different path, so he doesn't rely much on Faith Power for cultivation. He needs it, yes, but the amount required is not large.

Because even this one part far exceeds the output of the Merit Factory, reaching almost the limit of what he can bear at the Void Refinement realm.

Any more, and the Faith would overwhelm the Dao God, leading to the predicament of being trapped by Incense, which is exactly what Ren Yidao does not want to see.

Once he steps into the Heaven Realm, that will be the time for him to continue absorbing Faith Power.

Right now, he is already saturated and cannot consume any more.

"It seems it is time for the Merit Factory to exit the stage of history... Tsk, what kind of wasteful talk is this? How could I, an entrepreneur, let them become unemployed workers!?"

"How could I have such a bastard thought!"

"If production stops, what will happen to those guys?"

Ren Yidao gave himself a light slap, swatting away this irresponsible thought in his mind.

"I'll think of a way after I go back, striving to upgrade the factory's equipment and systems, developing new-quality labor, and ensuring they have fulfilling job positions."

"I really am a great philanthropist!"

While Ren Yidao was sighing with emotion, Shi Xue beside him gave him a strange look, frowning as she muttered in her heart:

"What is this guy doing again? Why does he suddenly slap himself in the face as soon as he switches back to his own identity?"

Does this guy have some kind of serious illness?

"Besides, if he needs to be slapped, he could just ask!"

The Snow Heroine stared intensely at Ren Yidao's profile, clenching her fists, eager to try.

"I can help!"

……

Divine Path Sect residence.

Li Fengyao in the carriage slowly opened her eyes. She did not get up, just draped in the clothes Ren Yidao had taken off, lazily stretched, and let out a long breath.

"Mm~ huff..."

Lifting her eyes to look around, Li Fengyao finally came to her senses, realizing he had already left, with only his warmth remaining on the clothes and in her body.

Li Fengyao weakly raised her soft hand, pressed it gently against her lower abdomen, and felt it silently.

After a long while, she suddenly smiled in a dazed manner.

"Hehe..."

"When I hoped he would appear, he actually really appeared."

For her, missing a man is in itself a very incredible thing.

And what is even more incredible is that he actually appeared.

Li Fengyao knew Ren Yidao had gone to the Eastern Wasteland, and she didn't ask why he appeared at this time.

She only knew that he had truly appeared before her, and that was enough.

As for who exactly he came to find, it is not important.

"However..."

Li Fengyao gently stroked the spot where Ren Yidao had just touched her, her gaze becoming somewhat distant.

She looked up at the roof of the carriage, remained silent for a long time, and then whispered almost soundlessly.

"A little fox, is it..."

"Interesting."

Heh heh.

She wrapped the robes of Li Yilian tightly around herself, burying her head to sniff the faint scent within.

Heaven Gate.

Li Yiyi, who held the dual identities of "Di Thirteen" of the Butian Alliance and "Wang Chenggui" of the Purple Shadow Sect, was currently guarding a high vantage point on the periphery, looking down at the scene from above.

After arriving as requested by Di Si, he did not force his way inside, but like the other latecomers, kept watch from far away on the outskirts.

"It's already the deep night of the ninth day; where exactly is this opportunity he spoke of?"

"He kept telling me to wait, saying I would know when the time came. What on earth is..."

Just as Li Yiyi was complaining, at the very center of the encirclement, the brows of Li Qiushui, who had been meditating with her eyes closed for several days, twitched.

"..."

She slowly opened her eyes, ignoring everything else, and stared straight at the Sanlu Sword in her hand.

Then, she slowly raised the sword and swung it forward without a shred of Dharma Power.

The next moment.

Before Heaven Gate.

Sword Qi, surged across.
