Standard

The strength of faith has three points of measurement.

The first is the number of believers.

The second is the devotion of believers.

The third is the life level of believers.

These three points are increasingly effective in generating faith.

Although if the number truly becomes vast enough, spanning the entire universe, quantitative change can indeed lead to qualitative change.

However, for Tang Chuan now, it's clear he doesn't have surplus divine power to foster believers across the entire universe.

After all, the process of civilization going from nothing to something consumes an extreme amount of divine power.

He couldn't possibly alter every planet and then, starting from the cellular level, accelerate the birth of intelligent life. Just applying the Time Force Field on Cangmang Star to advance civilization's evolution was almost enough to exhaust Tang Chuan.

Therefore, regarding the number of believers, he still has to rely on the reproductive capacity of Cangmang Star's humans. When their numbers and civilization reach a small peak, Tang Chuan can arrange for them to undertake interstellar colonization, allowing believers to expand throughout the starry sky.

At this moment, however, it's clearly not yet time. The civilization level, population size, and life forms of Cangmang Star's humans are not yet suitable for interstellar leaps.

So, for now, Tang Chuan can only focus his attention on increasing the devotion of believers and their life levels.

What he wants to do now is to improve both these aspects simultaneously.

Including the placement of the God of Mystery and Terror on another continent, who would naturally instill a genetic fear in humans, is also part of his attempts in this regard.

First, create an indelible, latent fear.

Then, in the guise of a deity, grant humans a method to resist that fear.

At this juncture, while boosting believers' devotion, he would also elevate their life forms.

After all, nothing can foster faith more effectively than saving believers from the terror of life and death.

Moreover, granting them a method to resist fear is, in essence, teaching them how to cultivate.

When Tang Chuan initially invested the first cells, he actually added a layer of latent attributes to their genes.

That is, upon evolving into higher forms, every creature could strengthen its own level by absorbing cosmic particles.

However, this trait, without the help of a deity, would always remain hidden deep within their genes, shrouded by a layer of shackles.

The divine beings saved the world and gave all believers the opportunity to sublimate, gaining power even greater than Ancient Fierce Beasts and the ability to control elements.

It's likely that even the most unruly individuals, through observation and personal experience, would eventually walk the path of believing in the divine.

This was Tang Chuan's expectation.

As for the God of Mystery and Terror, it is still in its infancy and merely an experimental subject, so he wouldn't place his hopes on them for now.

Thus, Tang Chuan turned his gaze towards those Ancient Fierce Beasts.

These extraordinary beasts have been regarded by humans as beings not to be provoked since ancient times.

Even with today's humans possessing rudimentary firearms, the threat posed by extraordinary beasts remains etched into their genes.

After assessing his remaining meager divine power, Tang Chuan's gaze swept over the Ancient Fierce Beasts one by one.

Finally, he chose about a dozen colossal beasts that held no reverence or closeness towards humans, and silently removed the faint shackles bound to their genes.

From today onwards, these extraordinary beasts will subconsciously begin to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, which is to say, cosmic energy particles.

Their life forms will not leap forward all at once, but they will eventually reach a peak of invincibility for humans in this world.

Their next generation, from the moment they are born, will possess the trait of absorbing spiritual energy, and their life levels will be infinitely elevated from the very beginning.

They are super-creatures comparable to human intelligence, yet they have never considered weak insects like humans as anything important – dragons, beastmen, three-legged raptors, unicorn feral beasts...

A host of super-creatures blending the style of the Classic of Mountains and Seas with Western fantasy.

He wondered if they, and their descendants in the future, would harbor hostility towards humans.

However, for such powerful overlords and the insects they perceive, to coexist on the same continent and for the insects to occupy the most fertile lands, Conflict is bound to erupt.

It's only a matter of time.

And Tang Chuan himself will naturally appear at the moment when humans are struggling to cope and are in despair, bestowing his grace upon the world and descending methods for cultivation to become divine apostles and possess extraordinary powers.

After a final observation of his current creations, Tang Chuan withdrew from his god-like state.

Because the Star Hunter had returned.

He still carried a faint scent of blood on him, which he hadn't bothered to erase. It was the lingering aftermath of their hunt; the scent of the prey's blood brought them continuous pleasure.

Seeing Tang Chuan look over, the Star Hunter stepped forward and said, "I investigated thirty-two people, eliminating those who were deeply wicked in human perception. Those in high positions or the benevolent, I spared their lives.

But boss, this Memory Eraser you granted me is truly useful.

Just in case, I knocked someone out, then woke him up again. As expected, he forgot everything and screamed at me again upon seeing me.

Well, then I knocked him out a second time."

Tang Chuan waved his hand, and amidst the Star Hunter's regretful gaze, the Memory Eraser in his hand dissipated into dandelion seeds, scattering and vanishing.

"What I give you is naturally useful. Tell me about your results, did you find anything out?"

The Star Hunter withdrew his gaze from the scattering dandelion seeds and said seriously, "There are no clear results, but I suspect that a certain power hidden in the shadows on this planet has not been completely eliminated."

Tang Chuan tilted his head, signaling him to continue.

The Star Hunter went on, "Their understanding of that great riot is very vague. I found no signs of lying, but one strange point is that some people's reactive responses when they saw me were very... standard. It's a very awkward thing."

Tang Chuan frowned. "Standard? What do you mean."

The Star Hunter found it difficult to explain. The light bulbs on his six wings flickered subconsciously, and he hesitated, saying:

"It's... very formulaic. They should have been extremely terrified when I suddenly appeared in their dwellings, but the way they showed fear was subtly, too...

Ugh, Kuka, it's still standard. Besides standard, I don't know how else to describe it.

It's like the exceptionally talented actors in human film and television works. No, better than those actors. It made me wonder if that was their normal stress response.

However, my past hunting experience tells me that when facing life and death, many prey will exhibit unspeakable courage and a desire to survive.

Instead of being so... similar?

The extreme panic they displayed was flawless, and lack of flaw is precisely the highlight.

Although there were still some differences, after seeing it many times, it gave me the feeling of a shared, identical panic. I'm not eloquent, I don't know if you can understand."
