The Saint Mark Holder's trait was to simulate the faith of the recipient.
In other words, the recipient would inevitably perceive it as the thing they believed in most devoutly.
What Mo Qiong held most firmly in his heart was his faith in the path of containment, but in the eyes of a group of Christians, that was fanatic faith in God.

An atheist would feel unwavering atheistic conviction, while a scientist would feel steadfast materialism.
In the eyes of a communist, Mo Qiong was also a communist. In the eyes of a money worshipper, Mo Qiong was also a money worshipper.
All these things made the Saint Mark Holder's trait resemble a mirror. Whatever one believed in, when viewing the Saint Mark Holder's actions and words, one would feel that he believed in the same thing.
