Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

This child is a believer the Goddess of Night only discovered a few days ago to have extremely high potential. Although he is a shallow believer, the Faith Power he provides is more than that of an ordinary faithful believer.

And most importantly, his Faith Power is purer, even able to affect the Goddess of Night herself, making her mood become happy, although only for a short second, but one must know that although the Goddess of Night has not absorbed Source Quality, because of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, her strength is half a step stronger than ordinary Old Ones.

Being able to affect the Goddess of Night's mood shows just how high the quality of his faith truly is.

After arranging the next god-creation plan with the gods, the gods left one after another to prepare, and Jiang Xuan returned at the first opportunity to this city that appears every time he descends, his gaze falling on this little boy of around ten years old.

If it were not for Jiang Xuan always following and protecting him, A Lai might have already died in the trampling accident!

Jiang Xuan also observed A Lai's past from top to bottom.

His father died in the factory's thick smoke before he was born, yet did not receive a single bit of worker compensation. Immediately after, his mother was carried back a few days ago.

It was precisely his mother's death that caused his mental power to mutate. That surging mental power enveloped the entire room, and A Lai's mother lived like this in a covered, fake house.

"Do you hate?" Jiang Xuan said softly.

A Lai wiped his tears, turned to look at the suddenly appearing Jiang Xuan, and at a loss casually wiped his hands on his body: "Sir! Hello, when did you come in?"

Jiang Xuan looked seriously at him, repeating the previous question: "Do you hate?"

A Lai was stunned, then firmly shook his head: "Our lives were originally like this! I know Xiao Hei, A Fa, and Rum all disappeared like this! I am luckier than them! Once the person who collects the flags is found, A Lai can get five pennies. Mom has never eaten white bread. I want..."

The hand reaching out to grab the flag suddenly paused. Whether he thought of his mother or of possibly never being able to exchange these five pennies for white bread for his mother, his nose turned sour, and tears welled up in his eyes again, but he still insisted on widening his eyes not to let the tears fall, looking seriously at Jiang Xuan.

"You can cry!" Jiang Xuan looked at that comical scene but could not laugh, speaking gently.

A Lai stubbornly shook his head: "No! Mom said you can't cry in front of people! Great Figures don't like the way A Lai cries!"

Looking at him, what Jiang Xuan saw was not a little boy covered in dust and scrapes, but a ball of light, a ball of pure kindness, and a soul full of love for this world!

Jiang Xuan looked at the woman on the bed. Too much time had passed, and the soul had completely dissipated. The weak soul did not even have the ability to walk toward the God of Death. He did not have the ability to revive a person whose soul had already returned to silence.

"Are you willing to be my believer?" Jiang Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked seriously at A Lai.

"But I already believe in the Goddess of Night!" A Lai did not understand the value of someone asking if you are willing to be my believer, but hesitated, muttering softly: "The Evernight Church has porridge twice a week!"

Looking at the other's conflicted appearance, Jiang Xuan only felt some sadness.

No matter a person's gift or ability, when he is just rushing around all day for a bite to eat, he will slowly lose more and more thoughts.

Perhaps what grinds down the edges of the years is the knife named Life Experience.

"Follow me, and you can eat your fill every day, and become strong, punish those who treat you badly, and even change this world!"

"I am willing!" A Lai's eyes shone, as if he had only heard the first quarter of the sentence, his face already full of expectation.

Jiang Xuan brought A Lai strolling down the street. Countless cries rang out on the street, banners and flags were pulled, countless people gathered on the main street in the center of Tingen, their eyes filled with determination and resolve.

Whether it was the original Zhou Mingrui, or the Zhou Mingrui now influenced by Jiang Xuan, as their strength gradually rose, they all failed to notice the living conditions of those originally living at the bottom.

Just like Klein's initial life, the three siblings could only maintain their livelihood, but exhausted all of the brother's strength to struggle desperately.

And with the rolling thick smoke of the Mysterious World's industrial wheel, the bottom of this world had even fewer rights and livelihood.

But gods never place their gaze where gods are truly needed.

This time Jiang Xuan's god-creation plan was actually simple. He would fabricate a true god, called the God of Order. Whenever ordinary people in the world cannot live with dignity and human rights, believing in Him will bring Him to protect this victory!

The created God of Order had none of the Storm God's violence, none of the Goddess of Night's concealment, none of the Steam God's technology. He had nothing outstanding about him. The most outstanding thing about the God of Order was that his potential believer base was extremely large!

With the propaganda of many churches, and secretly stirring up parades and protests everywhere, under the beautiful picture painted by Jiang Xuan and Zhou Mingrui, the vast majority of people would become Jiang Xuan's shallow believers in a short time.

And Jiang Xuan only needed to ensure the success of this god creation. Then countless shallow believers, at the moment they obtain the dignity they want, would become true faithful believers.

When a group of people can only kneel on the ground every day, even prostrate on the ground, the person who lets him stand up again is everyone's benefactor!

Looking at the surrounding crowd, full of indignation and crying out, Jiang Xuan turned his head to look at the silently not speaking A Lai beside him: "A Lai, do you think this world should make some changes?"

A Lai looked up at the surrounding emaciated crowd, then looked down at the only red string left after burying his mother, and said softly: "If Sir has the strength, I hope these people can all survive!"

"What if you also have that strength?" Jiang Xuan laughed lightly.

"Ah? Me?" A Lai was startled, but soon calmed down: "I will definitely protect them, because they are just people who are about to not be able to survive!"

"Even if they trampled on you to escape this morning?"

After becoming Jiang Xuan's believer and receiving power from Jiang Xuan, A Lai could already think normally: "They are just trying to survive, just like Dad, Mom, and me! A person's life, besides life and death, is just scrapes!"

"Then go! Open a path for them! A path to life!" Jiang Xuan's voice slowly dissipated, and his figure had already disappeared.

Accompanied by whistles and car sounds, troops raised their guns and rushed toward the parade crowd. Bullets were chambered. Behind the army, a man in a black tailcoat waved his hand disgustedly, as casually as if erasing the lives of some rats.

This morning, under the threat of firearms, the parade crowd ran!

But this time, faith in the newest god was already surging in everyone's chest. The beautiful life described made them even more determined and full of longing!

Seeing the leading army about to open fire, those using their flesh to block the front had not a trace of fear in their eyes!

"Great God of Order! I was already about to not be able to survive! Protect those behind me! Let me use my meager flesh to build a successful path!"

"I entrust my meager faith to You. I hope You can gaze upon this land! Protect my child so he can survive!"

Gunshots rang out, but the people in front did not retreat a single step. Instead, they charged straight forward.

The next second, a yellow light shield blocked in front of everyone, blocking all the bullets outside, not harming a single person!

Everyone looked in the direction of the yellow giant shield. A little boy of around ten years old stood in front of them, nervous in his eyes but not retreating half a step.

"Praise the God of Order for granting me power!" Seeing everyone looking at him, A Lai subconsciously imitated the way the church bigwigs spoke, and there was actually a trace of piety in his eyes.

"Great! The divine spirit has manifested! We are saved!"

"Praise the Great God!"

……

Holding up shields, these parade participants grew even more fervent, and some could already borrow a small amount of the god's power to resist their original masters.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan, the source of power, sat cross-legged above the star sky, sensing the simultaneous progress across the world while feeling the proportion of borrowed power.

Because he simultaneously launched a movement sweeping across the entire Mysterious World, and because those powerful figures generally had many Mysterious powers cooperating with them, he selected three abilities from among his many capabilities for his faithful believers to borrow.

Xuanhuang Shield, Eye of Information, Spiritual Barrier, and Judgment Flame.

The Xuanhuang Shield was one hundred-billionth of the Xuanhuang power he had separated out; even so, blocking physical attacks below Saints was no problem.

The Eye of Information was a faint power of the All-Knowing Authority, able to see through the good and evil within a person's inner heart.

The Spiritual Barrier was the hidden power within the Secret Path Seed, able to protect believers' souls from violation.

The Judgment Flame was a reduced version of the Eight Trigrams Furnace's furnace fire; using the furnace fire's current preference for evil things, he transformed the borrowed flames into a version that only burns those with dirty thoughts, cruel behavior, and similar traits, while being unable to harm the kind-hearted.

Actually, one would find that all four powers tended toward protection, and the only powerful one, Judgment Flame, focused more on judgment.

This was also the result of Jiang Xuan's deep consideration.

Because he lowered the threshold for borrowing power to faithful believers, and after the revolution succeeded, the number of faithful believers would absolutely be very large!

If he borrowed power that was too strong, after order succeeded, because of his power, the world might fall into an even more chaotic situation, so he prevented this from happening from the very beginning.

As for the future, some evildoers without resistance being burned to death by the Judgment Flame—

they've already been called evildoers, so dead is dead, can this even be called a problem?

Of course, the power fanatic believers could borrow absolutely crushed everything; except for True Gods they couldn't afford to offend, everything else could be ignored!

Because A Lai led the praise of the God of Order, a group of people simultaneously entered the ranks of faithful believers, and upon discovering that the god's gaze had fallen upon them in the unseen, after he could borrow power, they could confront those in the crushing stage.

And in all other regions, where there were faithful believers, people naturally appeared rolling over to become faithful; where there were no faithful believers, believers of other nearby True Gods disguised themselves to block attacks and reluctantly praised Jiang Xuan.

No choice, this was a task personally issued by the God of Faith; since the god had already agreed to let them praise Outer Gods, how could they refuse?

Soon seeds sprouted everywhere across the world……cough cough, united together.

A general code descended through divine oracle into the minds of all faithful believers, bringing a bit of rank-shocking impact to this Mysterious World!

For a while, faithful believers increased by untold numbers, and even several kind-hearted people at heart, including A Lai, simultaneously stepped into the level of fanatic believers!

Obeying the divine oracle, a world-sweeping activity surged; the world's flood could not be resisted even by an entire nation, let alone that the flood began within each nation.

……

Unknown how long passed; during this period Jiang Xuan used two strands of World Life Force, because too many people were borrowing his power—even sitting cross-legged in the Void, absorbing Source Power with full power, recovering mental strength could not keep up with the speed of consumption from borrowing.

But after the true peak of borrowing passed, he could already recover his strength very leisurely.

And after truly finishing, Jiang Xuan's number of believers reached its peak, while the frequency of borrowing power dropped in a straight line; finally, only one-thousandth of the four powers needed to be left behind.

Of course this was not without harvest; having believers meant having faith, and a vast number of believers meant countless faith.

If Jiang Xuan cultivated Buddhism, he felt that connecting these Faith Powers would allow him to instantly become a Buddha and achieve a Faith Halo!

But he did not plan to connect the Faith Powers; instead, he offered all these Faith Powers to nourish the Secret Path Seed within his body.

Under vast watering, the Secret Path Seed finally sprouted and grew!

Mental power greatly increased, and on the newly sprouted branches, faint Dao Patterns began to emerge; when the Secret Path Seed fully grew, it would become an Emperor Weapon, and his mental power would also step into the Great Emperor Realm!

Additionally, there was the most important purpose: the Myriad Worlds Fame System!

Current World Fame: four hundred million

Loyal Fan Count: ninety-nine million and two hundred thousand

Four hundred million fans had almost reached one-third of the population of the entire Mysterious World; needless to say, the influence was immense, and the conversion rate of fans to loyal fans was terrifyingly high!

On average, one out of every four fans was a loyal fan!

Such data was absolutely impossible to reach in the Zhetian World!

Nearly one hundred million Fan Value every day; most items in the Redeem Treasure Shop could be purchased, only the top-tier items still needed a not-short time to accumulate!

After finishing this matter, he eagerly wanted to return to closed-door cultivation, exchange for some treasures, and first feed the Eight Trigrams Furnace to Great Emperor level!

The Eight Trigrams Furnace itself specialized in smelting; refining a batch of high-end treasures was easy!

Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Jiang Xuan reluctantly closed the Redeem Treasure Shop, and again cast his gaze upon the entire Mysterious World.

Now in the Mysterious World, except for the True Gods' Churches, nothing had changed; regarding other aspects, earth-shaking changes had already occurred! (Chapter End)
