Under Lin Yu's deliberate promotion, Azure Star has developed quite rapidly and has now reached the steam age.
Under Lin Yu's protection, Azure Star has not encountered any terrible natural disasters until now. The creatures on it have always lived in a relatively comfortable environment, so naturally they have no need to worship gods.
In reality, the natural conditions of Azure Star are far from ideal. The reason Lin Yu specifically helped shield it from some natural disasters was because he desperately wanted to conduct an experiment.
He wondered if striking at the deepest fears of the soul could ignite a stronger power of faith in living beings.
When the world of the Vast Star was just beginning to develop, Lin Yu demonstrated the power of a "god" to the beings on it. Therefore, the belief in the gods gradually deepened as the Vast Star developed.
While this can generate a considerable amount of faith power, it is still far too little compared to what Lin Yu needs!
"If I calculate carefully, the faith power that the Vast Star provides me every day is enough for some low-level 'gods' to survive. However, for me, who has the 'divine status of a chief god,' this faith power is still too little."
Lin Yu calculated in his mind that if the power of faith provided by the Vast Star had been sufficient, Lin Yu wouldn't have needed to find another way to stimulate the power of faith on the Azure Star.
If he wanted to proselytize in a "normal" way, he only needed to transfer the beings of the Church of the Vast Star to his territory, but Lin Yu did not want to take the "normal" route.
After all, the "normal" path could only provide Lin Yu with a very limited amount of faith power. It was unknown how long it would take to regain his strength at the level of a "main god" with this amount of faith power.
Although Lin Yu had plenty of time, he didn't want to waste his precious time waiting.
"Perfect timing. I can do an experiment today and also get a good look at that little thing's skill level." Lin Yu held a semi-transparent sphere in his hand, a smile on his lips.
The translucent sphere contained the divine aura that Lin Yu had just extracted from the octopus tentacles.
This octopus tentacle usually follows Lin Yu around, always appearing lazy and gluttonous. But no matter what, it comes from the God of Truth and Order, and is a genuine part of the main god.
Even a fraction of the divine aura was enough to destabilize this small country.
Lin Yu's spiritual power arrived at a very remote country on the Azure Star. After sweeping through the country, his vast spiritual power quickly found a suitable location.
It was a deep swamp, the environment of which was indescribably harsh compared to the city center. As a result, the surrounding area was deserted and looked desolate.
The ground was muddy and the geothermal heat caused the swamp to constantly bubble with dark gray mud. There was hardly any living creature around; the only ones were probably the birds that survived by eating carrion.
"Buzz..."
Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed at the translucent sphere in his hand. About one-third of the gas separated from it. Lin Yu then pointed at the swamp, and the gas floated into the swamp.
"Boom!"
The moment the gas landed on the swamp, it exploded with a deafening sound, and mud shot almost into the sky.
If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding area was sparsely populated, this alone would have attracted countless living beings!
From Lin Yu's perspective, an irregularly shaped object floated in the center of the swamp. The object's shape was incredibly abstract, resembling a large, clustered mass of meat, without any definite form.
This is somewhat similar to the God of Truth and Order that Lin Yu remembered.
"Is this truly worthy of being called the aura of the God of Truth and Order?" Lin Yu pondered, looking at the very center of the swamp.
If the octopus tentacles are the embodiment of the god of truth and order, then this unidentified substance in the center of the swamp is an embodiment of that embodiment of the god of truth and order.
Even so, the rain that fell on the Azure World still caused considerable turmoil.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
While Lin Yu was pondering, the irregularly shaped piece of flesh in the center of the mud pit began to wriggle. Although it had taken root in the center of the mud pit under the restriction of Lin Yu's spiritual power, the upper part of its body was still trying to pupate towards Lin Yu.
Judging from her appearance, she seemed quite dependent on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu thought of his past relationship with the God of Truth and Order, and then of how attentive the octopus tentacles usually were to him, and immediately accepted the image of this big chunk of flesh wriggling and acting cute towards him.
"I will wait for you to grow up." Lin Yu reached out and gently stroked the irregular mass of flesh from a considerable distance, then flicked his sleeve and drifted away.
The irregular chunk of flesh had no eyes, but as a being possessing the aura of a supreme god, it did not need to rely entirely on its eyes to see things.
He could sense it.
And so, he felt that the power that gave him a strange sense of familiarity disappear. He first twisted his bloated body in confusion, but still did not receive the comforting power.
"Boom!" The irregular chunk of flesh seemed somewhat dissatisfied and twisted its body again.
Compared to the mud pit, his body was enormous; with just a twist, he caused the entire mud pit to turn upside down.
Seemingly annoyed that Lin Yu was ignoring him, the irregularly shaped mass of flesh swelled up several times its original size.
Then, he seemed to belatedly realize the meaning of the words Lin Yu had left behind.
"Grow up?"
The irregular chunk of meat swayed in the wind for a moment, then plunged deep into the mud, beginning to frantically devour the matter beneath.
Lin Yu divided the remaining power into two parts and threw them into two hidden locations on Azure Star, just like he had done with the others.
After doing all this, Lin Yu concealed his aura and once again looked down at the Azure Star from a god-like perspective.
Perhaps this day was nothing out of the ordinary for the creatures of the Azure Star, but what they didn't know was that in those three remote and untouched places, earth-shattering changes had already taken place.
Lin Yu did not restrict the divine power extracted from the octopus tentacles, so their forms were naturally somewhat similar, both resembling irregular chunks of flesh.
Under Lin Yu's deliberate prompting, all three began to devour everything around them.
Lin Yu had no intention of interfering; he wanted to see how far the power of the main god would develop without his intervention.
Of course, Lin Yu was fully confident that he could control the situation afterward.
