Faith

Becoming an evil god—before this, Li Yi would have been delighted.

But after becoming a sixth-ring wizard and a pseudo-seventh-tier Abyssal Overlord, he discovered that it was only mildly pleasing.

His strength had increased somewhat, but it was far from a qualitative leap.

He silently estimated how much this power of faith could aid his strength.

To become a deity of moderate divine power with sixth-ring strength would require at least a century of accumulation.

As for becoming a stronger seventh-tier deity, that went without saying.

One careless misstep, and they would become someone else's prey. A deity deprived of divine power's aid was simply the fattest, most succulent resource.

A divine spark itself was an excellent energy core, and coupled with a god's divine body and power of faith, the gains from killing a deity far surpassed those of killing a demon or devil.

But perhaps time was the one thing deities lacked least.

Although Charles had become an evil god, he did not feel that he had enough time.

Moreover, the chances
