"Choose science, or religion."
Wei He rose to his feet and paced back and forth inside the cave.
Others might not have had such troubles, but he was different.
The countless gods of Earth's several thousand years of history, along with the various great concepts developed by modern science, left him caught in the sweet agony of indecision.
"No!"
After pacing for a while, he suddenly noticed a problem.
"I still don't know how much the power and difficulty differ between Spirit Nurturing based on complete fabrication and Spirit Nurturing based on something that truly exists. I can try them first, then decide after seeing which gives better value."
He made up his mind at once. Immediately, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and visualized a completely fictional, bizarre, twisted deity.
First, nine heads. The more heads, the scarier. Mm, nine human heads are the scariest. Most of my opponents will probably be human.
Then, it needs a rotten, twisted body, plus rainbow-colored tumor blisters dense enough to trigger trypophobia. That should stir up fear. Viruses, disease, and decay are all things living creatures fear.
Then it needs wings. Mm, twelve pairs should do. The more wings it has, the higher its standing.
Wei He began fully exercising the imagination of a modern man.
Very soon, a terrifying monster with a savage face, nine human heads, and pus flowing all over its body appeared in his mind.
"Let's call it the God of All Corruption."
Having fabricated this so-called deity, he immediately began pouring mental strength and Returning True Force into it.
The method of infusion was simple: continuously visualize it, pouring every emotion and thought of fear, majesty, brutality, and dominance in his heart into it.
This was a form of self-hypnosis, followed by nourishment with Returning True Force.
