Imperial Capital Star of the Movita Empire.
Inside a residence on the first floor of a skyscraper in the core district, Yue Qin pulled on Jiang Luo, reluctant to let go: "My child, can't you cultivate at home? Must you go out on a journey?"
His younger sister Jiang Ying and younger brother Jiang Ting also looked at him with reluctance.
"That's enough," his father Jiang Feng said, "A-Luo is the Chief Speaker of our Luo Planet and the strongest of the Luo Planet People; he has his own responsibilities."
"We are safe living here, but what about the other Luo Planet People? They all rely on A-Luo for protection."
"To protect Luo Planet well, one must constantly grow stronger. Didn't you also log into the Virtual Universe Network? Which powerhouse ever became strong just by staying at home?"
Jiang Luo muttered to himself: Once I cultivate faith on the five life planets I just purchased, staying at home to become stronger won't be a dream.
"Wu He," Jiang Luo said to the man with a mechanical body standing to the side, "I leave my family in your care during this time."
After bidding farewell to his reluctant family, Jiang Luo boarded a spacecraft and departed from the spaceport of the Imperial Capital Star of the Movita Empire.
It had been half a year since he joined the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall and left Luo Planet.
During this period, Jiang Luo had applied for unsecured loans from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and the Cosmic First Bank in the name of an "Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall member," obtaining a total of 15 million Universe Coins.
Although being a member of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall granted special privileges in many fields, and it wouldn't be difficult to build wealth if one managed things diligently, that required time.
Jiang Luo did not want to waste so much time in vain, so he had no choice but to apply for loans.
Fortunately, the status of an Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall member was indeed effective.
Even for unsecured loans, the two major banks had each granted him a credit line of several million Universe Coins.
If not for the concern that he was only at the Planetary level and the assessment that he would likely lose his Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall membership in a few decades, the limit would never have been just 15 million Universe Coins.
This was already comparable to the entire net worth of a Universe-level powerhouse.
Jiang Luo first spent 11 million Universe Coins to purchase five life planets.
Logically speaking, a life planet that could sell for 1 million Universe Coins would already be considered a top-tier life planet.
However, because Jiang Luo needed them urgently and refused to wait for an auction, and specifically requested life planets within the Huanming Star Sector, the premium was very high.
On top of that, he had to pay additional compensation to relocate all life forms above the Apprentice level off the planets.
In addition to this, he also purchased over a thousand Star-level slaves.
They were prepared to serve as his helpers in cultivating faith.
This time, he only brought the Star-level slaves to the newly purchased life planets and did not have Wu He accompany him.
After all, cultivating faith involved his greatest secret, and Wu He had not yet sworn allegiance to him as his master.
His excuse to his family was that he was going out on a journey.
With the help of the many Muya Crystals, Azure Wave Marrow, and other treasures he had purchased, his family members had all become Planetary-level life forms.
Moreover, he had settled them on the Imperial Capital Star of the Movita Empire, a mid-level civilization in the universe, living in a community within the core district, so there were no issues regarding their safety.
After more than a month of flight, Jiang Luo finally arrived at the first life planet he had purchased.
By this time, a large number of mortal slave races, who didn't even qualify as Apprentice level, had already been transferred to the planet.
Furthermore, under his arrangements, batches of slave races were continuously being relocated to this planet.
It was all being handled by the Star-level slaves he had purchased.
Mortals were the least valuable; even purchasing billions or tens of billions of them didn't cost much.
Looking at the land covered in engineering machinery, Jiang Luo nodded with satisfaction.
These engineering machines were constructing temple after temple.
The statues inside the temples were all in his likeness.
He had already experimented; there was no essential difference in the power of faith provided by Planetary-level beings, Star-level beings, and mortals.
According to his hypothesis, this was likely because, whether Planetary-level or mortal, their souls had not undergone any essential change.
A soul becoming stronger did not mean its essence had changed.
Only upon becoming Immortal would the soul undergo an essential leap and possess an endless lifespan.
A human World Lord could only live for 1,000 epochs, not because the World Lord's body only had a lifespan of 1,000 epochs, but because the limit of the soul was 1,000 epochs.
Only by transcending the World Lord level and achieving a leap in the essence of the soul could one break this limit.
An Immortal God could certainly provide far more power of faith than a mortal.
However, that was just wishful thinking.
Even if he became a Universe Venerable in the future, he might not necessarily obtain the devout faith of a large number of Immortal Gods.
Faith was not something that could be determined by strength alone.
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
On a yellowish-brown planet.
Countless people endured untold hardships, traveling thousands or even tens of thousands of miles on foot to reach the base of a towering, majestic mountain range, where they knelt and prostrated themselves:
"Great Emperor Luo, You are the greatest sage, the creator of all things in the world, the omniscient and omnipotent Supreme God..."
Inside a temple at the peak of the mountain range.
Jiang Luo opened his eyes, feeling the surging power of faith rushing toward him.
Over the past ten years, the human populations on five life planets had all completed their migration and resettlement.
Each planet held tens of billions of humans!
They were all mortals, not even reaching the Apprentice level.
Therefore, the speed at which Jiang Luo established his faith was extremely smooth.
He only needed to display a few miracles.
When encountering disasters like droughts, floods, or earthquakes, he would order his Star-level slaves to display their might.
Or, he would use technology to manipulate the weather, ensuring favorable winds and rain for the land.
By then compiling religious scriptures based on the memories of his past life, the speed at which he cultivated faith was naturally fast to the extreme.
Of course, Jiang Luo would not let the humans on these five planets live completely free of worries, keeping them penned up like pigs.
Faith also stems from fear.
If they were truly free of worries, without disasters or hardships, why would they need to believe in a god?
Thus, he would sometimes send one or two Star-level slaves to pose as 'devils' to stir up blood and chaos, only for him to step in or send his 'angels' to quell the turmoil.
The returns brought by this management were also very bountiful.
The power of faith brought to him by each planet far exceeded that of Luo Planet.
The worship of the strongest is naturally different from the wholehearted trust in a Supreme God.
Looking at the billions of strands of white wish power condensed within the internal space of the Nameless Seal, Jiang Luo revealed a satisfied smile.
"Manifest Nuwa Map!"
Five years ago, his cultivation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map had broken through to the fifth level.
Not only had his physical strength increased to a level comparable to the early Star level.
Most importantly, his perception of the fluctuations of the water and fire origin laws had become much clearer.
It was no longer as blurry as it had been before.
Of course, this level of clarity was still far from being comparable to the clarity of perception Luo Feng had regarding the gold origin law after possessing the Golden Horned Beast.
After all, the Golden Horned Beast could be considered a darling of the gold origin law.
But according to Jiang Luo's inquiries, his current clarity of law perception had already reached two or three times that of an average ninth-level Domain master.
However, even so, comprehending origin laws was not easy; otherwise, so many geniuses who reached the ninth level of the Domain would not have been stuck before the threshold of mastering laws for decades or even a century.
Being able to perceive law fluctuations and comprehending a trace of a law were two different things.
The heaven-defying clarity of law perception possessed by the Golden Horned Beast was not something humans could have.
If the clarity of law fluctuations perceived by an ordinary human reaching the ninth level of the Domain was 1, then the Golden Horned Beast's perception of gold law fluctuations was 10,000.
Therefore, what he wanted most was a cultivation technique suitable for assisting him in comprehending the origin laws of the universe.
And the answer given by the Wordless Seal was the Nuwa Map!
However, manifesting the Nuwa Map required at least one hundred billion strands of white wish power, equivalent to the faith that one hundred billion most devout believers could contribute in a year.
Only now had he saved up enough.
After all, the brainwashing of faith also required time.
In an instant, a statue of Nuwa radiating billions of rays of light appeared in his sea of consciousness.
That light nourished his soul, causing his soul to undergo a slow transformation, and even his sensing of law fluctuations seemed to become a bit clearer.
Moreover, this change was happening every moment.
It was as if he were devouring chaotic true spirits at every instant.
