Exploring the Power of Faith
The four Element Fairy queens nodded.
"Then I wish you success in finding a suitable place."
Thank you.
The three gods smiled, then departed together, transforming into three beams of divine light and heading towards the Anbis Mountains.
When they reached the top of the Mountain Range, they stood in mid-air.
The Sun Goddess looked at the Dwarf living among the Mountain Range, a slight look of disdain on her face.
"Mosela, compared to the handsome Elf, they are too ugly. Why do you want to take some of the Dwarf with you?"
A smile appeared on the usually aloof face of the Moon Goddess Mosela as she explained.
"Sister Waxilun, I believe that having an intelligent race capable of normal reproduction and survival as our kin would be quite useful."
The Sun Goddess Waxilun nodded.
"I admit you have a point, Mosela."
"The dwarven heavy cavalry composed of Dwarf truly performed exceptionally well in the war between the Fetrola Divine Court and the Elf."
"If we find a suitable location, we will indeed need some Dwarf to populate it, so as not to be disturbed by some lowly mortals."
Currently, the gods reside on the earth, living among mortal beings, and naturally need them as guardians.
"No, I think what we need more is their faith."
Mosela laughed.
"Belief?"
The Sun Goddess Waxilun was puzzled.
"Mosela, you must be mistaken. I think their beliefs are not important to us."
"We are gods; whether they believe in us or not is irrelevant to our power."
Gods and mortals are beings on two different levels.
A world of difference!
"No, Sister Waxilun, it's not unrelated."
The Moon Goddess Mosela spoke earnestly.
"I wonder if you still remember what those Element Fairy queens said: that during the Elf ' major ritual days, their hymns of Elf could help the Tree of Life, Annuoweiya, who had exhausted her Divinity essence and fallen into slumber, to awaken for a longer period."
"And the prolonged faith has allowed His Highness the Tree of Life to slowly recover."
"She was already severely injured, having exhausted her life force!"
"Since the faith of these mortals can benefit even Greater God like the Tree of Life."
"So, can we conclude that faith can enhance the power of deities?"
Mosela recounted the details she had gleaned from the snippets of conversation among the Fairy queens.
These words caused the Sun Goddess Waxilun and the God of Night Moluosi to fall into deep thought.
After deep thought, they exchanged a glance.
"You make a very good point, Mosela!"
The Sun Goddess Waxilun.
But your guess still needs to be confirmed.
"This is from God of Night Moluosi."
"After all, this is only the Fairy queens' side of the story."
Mosela smiled upon hearing this.
"Of course, we still need to explore."
"The best way to verify this is to take some Dwarf back, provide them with shelter, and over several generations, let these Dwarf believe in our three gods, thereby verifying the relationship between faith and the enhancement of divine power."
After saying that, she sighed softly.
"Sister Waxilun, Brother Moluosi."
"We have unlimited lifespans, and time is the least precious thing. Moreover, the world today is a time of great strife. The Fetrola Divine Court, which we have offended, is eyeing us covetously. Sea God Ansaixi god of the Inner Ring Sea, is equally powerful and ambitious. Ocean Goddess Saifeina of the Outer Ring Sea, also commands powerful gods and followers."
"And there are other gods born in this world, occupying various places within it."
"To possess sufficient divine authority in this era, one needs to become powerful enough, at least more powerful than most gods."
"I understand, Mosela."
"The Sun Goddess Waxilun laughed."
"Let's go, let's go down and choose a Dwarf tribe to take with us."
then.
The three gods descended from the sky and arrived at a river valley.
There is a tribe of Dwarf who live by the water year-round.
Compared to their people, this Dwarf tribe had smoother, whiter skin due to their long-term contact with water.
Among the Dwarf, they are considered to be one of the more attractive groups.
Bulu, the Dwarf was lame in one leg, was fishing by the river with a group of teenagers.
The able-bodied men of their tribe were taken away by the Elf to participate in the war of the gods, leaving only these elderly and weak people.
However, there weren't many fish in the river at this time.
They fished for half a day but didn't catch many fish.
The Dwarf Bulu couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm going to go hungry again today."
"I wonder when Luda and the others will be able to return."
The sun is setting.
Even without a great harvest, the Dwarf should head back.
The Anbis Mountains at night are not a safe place.
This place is home to many kinds of powerful beasts, and even many Magic Beast capable of wielding Transcendent powers.
These are all threats to the Bulu Tribe today.
He would be heartbroken if even one of these young boys in the clan died.
But just as they were about to leave...
A huge wild bear with yellowish-brown fur suddenly leaped out of the forest, followed by a Little Bear.
"Damn it, it's the Anbis Giant Bear that can spit earth spikes! Weren't these bears driven out of the Dwarf' territory by the Elf? How did they end up here?"
Lame Bulu was horrified.
But at this moment, he could not retreat. Instead, he picked up the harpoon in his hand and stood firmly in front of the group of Dwarf.
"Children, run quickly back to the camp, light a campfire, and burn the Nature Bark the Elf gave you. The Anbis Giant Bear will not dare to approach the campfire because of the smell of the Nature Bark."
"Chieftain, and what about you?"
"My leg is crippled, I can't run anymore, you guys hurry up and go."
"No, we won't leave! We'll fight this giant bear with you!"
The Dwarf boys were incredibly stubborn.
They seemed to be born with an indomitable stubbornness, which improved the impression of the Sun Goddess Waxilun, who was standing in mid-air.
Just as the Dwarf were arguing...
The Anbis Giant Bear suddenly leaped up, its five-meter-tall body leaping across the river to the other side, where it pounced on the Dwarf.
Seeing this, Chief Bulu of the Dwarf stopped arguing with the boys and instead shouted.
"Since you've chosen to stay, hold tight to your harpoons and be ready to fight at any time!"
"By the Creator and the Goddess of Wisdom, may we defeat this behemoth!"
However.
The strength of the Anbis Giant Bear was astonishing; with a single slap, it sent Bulu flying, crashing into the muddy riverbank.
After the giant bear swatted him away, it didn't stay behind, but instead ran step by step towards the terrified teenagers.
Just then, the giant bear's massive jaws were about to bite off the head of a Dwarf boy.
Bulu's eyes widened in horror.
"Oh, damn it, who can save them?"
"I'm willing to give anything for this!"
The Sun sets, and the moon shines like water.
The stench from the giant bear's mouth had already reached his nose; he closed his eyes, unable to bear seeing his people die.
But just then, a dignified voice reached his ears.
"Remember your words, mortal."
