The Great Cthulhu
Early morning.
Shen Hui, lying on Chi Yan's bed, was not asleep.
Instead, he immersed his consciousness in the Death World.
In the last battle against the world of faith, although our Hero were completely suppressed, some were seriously injured and some died.
But thanks to their immortality, they have all returned to their Perfect state and are now in their respective territories.
However, Shen Hui wasn't there to check on their condition, but rather to examine the spoils of their previous battle— the Source of Faith.
[The Source of Faith]
[Level: Special]
[Effect: Contains the power of a belief system; can be used to create a belief.]
This thing is similar to the Power of the Titans we obtained before.
By integrating the power of other system worlds, we can create our own system world.
While the Power of Faith may be used in the same way, the difference in its upper and lower limits is enormous.
For example, the Power of Faith that Shen Hui used when he encountered the Giant God Cult was only used to worship some Common things.
Although with continuous improvement in the Power of Faith, one can eventually become a true god.
But that's too far away.
Those who believe in something unique tend to have a higher moral standard.
For example, vague concepts like land, clouds, and rocks.
Specifically, there are famous mountains and rivers with various legends and magnificent scenery.
If placed on Shen Hui's original planet, it would be places like Mount Tai and Mount Kunlun.
Or it can be used to worship those figures who have been remembered for thousands of years and whose fame has lasted for generations.
Of course, even being infamous for eternity is acceptable.
The most famous one in his previous life was Lord Guan.
Without exception, all of these have profound background information.
Shen Hui also knew that it wasn't that the other party didn't want to believe in these things.
Rather, in his belief system, such things simply do not exist.
Otherwise, the strength of the opposing faith world would likely increase significantly.
Now, Shen Hui has the opportunity to create a belief.
It cannot be used indiscriminately.
"Faith, when paired with another system of worldviews, often has remarkable effects."
"If it were anyone else, they would probably use the Power of Faith to worship the Hero created by their own world."
Shen Hui muttered to himself, this was the most normal and direct thought.
The people living in the Shen Hui world struggle with fear and oppression.
If there were a faith that could protect them, they would probably grasp at that lifeline without hesitation.
Let Sadako, the Slender Man, and the Wandering Doom become their faith?
Shen Hui then immediately rejected the idea.
It's not that it's impossible, but rather that it's unnecessary, because there are better options.
"That brother who used the Power of Faith to create the Wandering Doom, the Wandering Faith, the Day 17?"
On the Day 17, the attributes carried by the Wandering Faith were undoubtedly very compatible with the Power of Faith.
He inherently possesses a kind of faith, which allows him to make better use of it.
However, Shen Hui suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but chuckle.
"One's own Death World is used to create fear, to create despair, to create a world of death."
Does a world like this really need a faith?
"Or rather, is a normal belief system necessary?"
Shen Hui knew the answer: it wasn't necessary.
Hope is a seed that blossoms in everyone's heart.
If this were normal, it would obviously not fit Shen Hui's Death World.
But what happened to this seed of hope? After it blossomed, it turned into an ugly, evil, rotten flower that horrified everyone.
Shen Hui smiled; this was perfect!
To hold onto hope amidst despair, only to find that the inevitable outcome is also despair!
This is just Perfect!
Shen Hui knew the kind of faith that could achieve such a result.
Fear is the oldest and most intense human emotion, and the oldest and most intense fear is the fear of the unknown.
--Cthulhu!
Thinking about this, it feels absolutely Perfect!
Shen Hui was completely unaware that his emotions had taken on a kind of madness.
What they believe in and what protects them is constantly eroding their reason.
It distorts their perception.
What they believed in was fear, the fear of the unknown.
They will understand when they are closest to their faith.
What could be a better faith than this?
This is how Shen Hui came up with the idea of using the Source of Faith to create the most suitable faith.
In the Cthulhu universe, the Outer Gods, the Great Old One, Old Gods.
Outer Gods, the most powerful and primordial deities.
It is the origin of the universe, the origin of everything.
The most famous of them all is Azathoth, the Blind Idiot God.
Everything in the universe was born from His dream.
It's not that Shen Hui can construct the existence of faith by relying on the Source of Faith.
Even if one could construct it, their world would likely collapse and vanish into nothingness the instant it was created.
Secondly, there are the Old Gods, also known as the Elder Gods.
They are the gods of ancient times who protected the Earth and fought against the Great Old One because they shared a common enemy with all life on Earth.
There isn't much information about them, but there are rumors that they are a type of Outer Gods.
In terms of strength, there is no doubt about it.
Finally, there are the Great Old One, who are ancient and powerful beings in the universe.
It is a great thing that transcends the realm of human imagination and is above the laws of the universe.
Common who see them will witness the truth of the universe and go mad.
However, some ancient civilizations, extraterrestrial races, and mysterious religions worship them.
I hope to gain their knowledge and strength to protect them.
Of these three options, Outer Gods are naturally excluded, as are Old Gods.
The most suitable candidates are undoubtedly the Great Old One.
They themselves have followers.
Common can obtain knowledge and power from them.
Although this knowledge and power will come at the cost of their reason and fear.
Drive him mad.
But it aligns more closely with Shen Hui's previous ideas.
Among the Great Old One, the most famous is...
The great Cthulhu, the Sleeping God, the Lord of R'lyeh, represents the existence of water!
Shen Hui has determined that what was constructed from the Source of Faith is Cthulhu.
Of course, it's impossible to directly create Cthulhu using the Source of Faith.
They can only create followers of Cthulhu by taking Cthulhu as the Source of Faith.
They use the Power of Faith to continuously materialize Cthulhu until he finally appears in his entirety!
In any case, in the Cthulhu lore, it is also sleeping at the bottom of R'lyeh.
Waiting to be awakened.
This is very similar to creating from Source of Faith.
This will be a long process, and it will not allow Shen Hui's Death World to bring about a rapid increase in strength.
But when the slumbering Cthulhu awakens, the world will tremble!
After finalizing the plan, Shen Hui began to brainstorm ideas.
The next step is to cultivate a group of followers who worship Cthulhu.
