The Mummy World - Egypt - Cairo
Xu Xiao appeared in a small alley in Cairo, his black robe complementing his handsome appearance, making him seem like a god descending to earth.
As soon as it appeared, Xu Xiao's Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena between his brows slightly opened, beginning to analyze the mysteries of this world.
"What a strange world! It has a moderate concentration of Spiritual Energy, and various laws of power permeate it. This world can accommodate even more diverse forces."
Xu Xiao briefly sensed the world's rules, which were an important indicator of a world's upper limit.
"No wonder there are traces of God here. Look at the floating power of faith everywhere, it's truly magnificent!"
In Xu Xiao's gaze, a faint golden light of faith seemed to float in many places in the city.
These golden rays rose from the bodies of many toiling people and disappeared into another dimension.
"It seems that the God of this world do not reside permanently in the material plane, but rather stay in other planes or worlds to enjoy the offerings of their believers."
Xu Xiao's Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena can focus on a specific point on a person, and can even analyze the specific details of that person's faith and prayer.
"Great Osiris! Bless our fields with a bountiful harvest this year. Your most devout followers pray to you, and I will sing your praises..."
The faith originated from a dark-skinned farmer who prayed for a bountiful harvest.
Osiris, the ancient Egypt god of the underworld and also the god of agriculture, is a real being in this world.
Believers offer their sincere faith to the God they worship through devout worship, hoping to receive the rewards they desire in return.
Of course, this is not a completely fair transaction. The God may take your faith, but they may not necessarily grant your wishes.
After all, a God has a very wide following, and many God even have a large number of followers in many worlds.
If He were to respond to every believer's wish, not to mention the immense divine power required, simply responding to these wishes would waste an immeasurable amount of time.
Praying to the God is a matter of probability even lower than winning the lottery.
However, the ignorant worship of the lower classes could not be resisted. They would rather place all their hopes on a vague and illusory faith than change themselves.
Of course, some people don't have the power to change things and can only place their hopes on the God.
This is not something that needs to be examined.
Ordinary humans are inherently weak and blindly obedient, and many God also performed miracles in the beginning, which are recorded in human history or by missionaries.
These miracles are like those of lucky winners who have won the lottery, attracting ordinary people to offer their faith in these miracles.
"But that's good too. If they have a heart that worships God, then I think they won't reject the idea of worshipping a new, generous God!"
Xu Xiao smiled slightly, then enveloped the city with his Divine Sense, beginning his search for the first lucky person.
Soon, Xu Xiao saw an old man in his fifties in Cairo slum, lying weakly on a broken wooden plank, awaiting his death.
Despite being on the verge of death, the other person's strong will to live was palpable.
The physical pain tormented Asimo; he endured the torment of the disease but did not give up hope of living.
"Please! Any God or devil from Hell!"
"Please help me, answer my prayers, I really don't want to die!!"
"I'm willing to give you everything, all I need is your response!!"
Asimo prayed fervently, sometimes chanting the name of Osiris, the lord of the Underworld, and sometimes calling out to Ra, the supreme god.
When a person is at their wit's end, the only thing they can place their hope in is the gods in the dark.
Unfortunately, his widespread faith failed to attract the attention of any God.
Even if he were a fanatical believer, let alone a casual believer, unless he possessed some noteworthy qualities, he wouldn't attract the attention of the God.
Even the value of an ordinary person's soul is not worth the effort of those Hell demons to trade for it.
He... is worthless!
However, sometimes, things take an unexpected turn, and miracles can happen.
Xu Xiao sized up the man with a strong will to survive, and ultimately chose him.
Nothing more than pleasing to the eye; a rare sight in Cairo with yellow skin.
"If you're willing to give up everything, then I can save you."
Xu Xiao's voice rang in Asimo's ears, and the man on the verge of death immediately mustered his last strength and shouted:
"Please, save me! I'm willing to give anything, great being."
After saying that, Asimo forced himself to open his eyes, but he did not see any miracle.
Is it a hallucination?
Asimo felt a pang of disappointment. He was at his wit's end, willing to accept either the mercy of the gods or the olive branch of the devil.
"Very well, since you're willing to give everything, then accept my power!"
A dazzling ball of light appeared before Asimo's eyes, radiating an unusual glow.
The Seed of Desire!
The will to survive is also a desire, and an extremely strong one at that.
"Accept it, accept it, and you will be my follower. I will grant you supreme power, freeing you from the torment of illness and making you a being beyond mortals!"
Xu Xiao's voice rang in Asimo's ear.
The man, having reached a dead end, didn't hesitate much and grabbed the Seed of Desire.
The Seed of Desire entered his body, and his strong will to survive was transformed into Magic Power, which in turn nourished his body.
Asimo's body, which had been plagued by illness, quickly regained its vitality under the nourishment of Magic Power, and he stood up from the wooden plank.
'thump'
Asimo knelt on the ground in the most devout prostration posture, feeling the renewed vitality within his body, and began to pray fervently.
"Great Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Desires, your most loyal servant Asimo greets you. Thank you for your mercy, Asimo will offer you everything."
" Asimo, go! Go and spread the word of my miracles to more people, let them follow their desires and unleash all their desires!"
"Yes, my master!"
Asimo received a divine message, and then, rejuvenated, he rose from the ground and began to wander into other parts of the slums.
He was going to preach and spread the gospel of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Desires, so that the faith of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Desires could spread throughout the world.
"Let the pieces move first. I'll observe from the sidelines. I shouldn't jump out too early before I understand just how powerful the God of this world are."
Xu Xiao slowly walked out of the alley.
It wasn't that he was cowardly, but rather that it was his first time acting in a world with real God, and he needed to be cautious.
The Egypt gods in the legend of gods and demons are real. Xu Xiao has the disguise of World-Crossing Gate, so there's no need for him to confront them right away.
Anyway, he was going to develop a religion in this world, so he decided to let the local natives try it out first.
It would be best to follow the chosen one of this world and see what the power of the God in this world is all about.
If they are weak, Xu Xiao wouldn't mind tearing off the disguise and directly crushing them.
