The Vessel of Faith

Compared to the shrine in Tutlam, the shrine in Leiata was of a lower standard.

But it remains magnificent, with buildings constructed from various jade stones that are arguably the most luxurious in the city of Leia Tower.

The shrine was of extremely high standard, and the sculpture of the god Tu'er was undoubtedly the most important part.

Upon seeing the statue of God Tu'er again, Zhang Xuezhou was surprised to find that it too had been lost.

The statue in Tutlam is missing its axe, and this statue is in pieces.

Zhang Xuezhou was also fortunate that Zhang Manqian didn't come along, otherwise Huang, who was always clinging to Zhang Manqian, would probably be a little resentful.

"Belief?"

The abilities and mental abilities bestowed upon Turcolando and others by Ara are similar, but they are not part of the Mental Strengthening Chapter of Ren Yisheng.

The power of wilderness can be bestowed, and it also has the ability to be taken back.

Based on the information gathered, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the cultivation system of 'Wilderness' might be related to the 'faith' mentioned by Presenel.

Huang's cultivation in 'faith' is clearly substandard; he has not explored the limits of this path of cultivation, and is almost tantamount to merely eking out a living in the Tuer Temple.

Presenel mentioned that the power of faith in the shrine was so abundant that it was even used to its fullest extent.

What was he like back then?

"Look at this, this, and this—look at the photos Mom took!"

Zhang Xuezhou questioned Song Fengying, who had contacted Presnel at the time. Song Fengying gestured with her hands raised in a circle and then showed Zhang Xuezhou the photos she had secretly taken.

In the photo, Presennel's extremely thin arms form a circular shape, and he stands in a statue-like posture.

"How long did he stand there?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I stood there for seven or eight days, about an hour each day!"

Song Fengying replied, and Zhang Xuezhou stood there in a very proper manner, his hands bent in a circular shape.

"What are you doing?" Song Fengying complained.

"I'm going to stand here for an hour!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Song Fengying found it hard to understand Zhang Xuezhou's strange behavior; she suddenly felt that her son's mental problems had never been cured.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou close his eyes and remain silent, Song Fengying felt as if she were about to cry but had no tears left.

She glanced at Ren Anran with considerable concern.

Young people often hang out together, and they might end up in bed together sometime, but no young person would date a mentally ill person.

When Song Fengying saw that Ren Anran didn't seem to care, and instead gestured just like Zhang Xuezhou, eventually finding a sculpture area to stand on as well, she almost choked on her own breath.

"It's contagious!"

She muttered a complaint, and for a moment she lost all interest in going out to film and gather material, and could only wait for Zhang Xuezhou's inexplicable behavior to pass.

But this is a major event in the Thousand Islands Alliance, and even Song Fengying, with her low sensitivity, could sense it.

She didn't go out herself, but pushed Wang Li out to do the work.

"Take good care of the records and strive to make our Feiyu Live a leader in international news!"

"What kind of international news leader is this? News isn't about..."

"Once the path is cleared, I'll push the software here. Any event shared by these foreigners will be international news. No journalist can cover it as quickly and accurately as someone who shares information freely. Once we establish information sharing, we can communicate anytime!"

Wang Li had just muttered a rebuttal when Song Fengying corrected his thinking. He suddenly realized that Song Fengying's ideas about the development of live streaming far surpassed his own.

While everyone was still fighting for food in the Scarlet Alliance State, Song Fengying already had the idea of going to sea.

Imperfect infrastructure makes it difficult to integrate software, but as times progress, software integration may eventually be achieved.

Feiyu Live may even have its own dedicated satellite for transmitting information in the future.

Wang Li suddenly understood some of the things Song Fengying had mentioned before, and why she was so interested in the satellite communications company that Zhang Xuezhou and others were planning to establish.

"Only by following Sister Song can you enjoy the best life!"

Wang Li was secretly delighted.

This is his most brilliant investment in recent years, and it's also an industry he's very likely to stick with for a long time to come.

Zhou Rihui said he had no backup to support him, but Wang Li felt that Feiyu Live was his support.

This not only provided him with a steady stream of cash, but also his strongest network of connections.

By following Zhang Xuezhou, he met countless people and gained his own small chance to infiltrate the community.

The risks he faced were indeed much higher than before, but Wang Li was not afraid at all. He was only afraid that one day he would be willing to take the risk, but would be rejected by Zhang Xuezhou and others because he was not capable enough to take the risk.

If that day truly comes, then his days may be numbered.

Wang Li hurriedly ran out carrying a camera with a new lens and began recording the casualties of the Thousand Islands Alliance in this war.

Beneath the statue, Zhang Xuezhou, maintaining his imitation of Presennel's form, focused on his surroundings.

In the dim light, he heard the surviving Turs reciting solemnly, accompanied by the eulogy sung by Turkalando.

"As long as the void remains, I shall endure forever!"

"Those who believe in me will have eternal life!"

Gradually, a familiar voice entered Zhang Xuezhou's mind.

This was an extremely mechanical chant he had heard before, and it was also the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon within him.

"When Naggus whispered, he seemed to mention that the false gods and demons of the Seven Dragon Age were skilled in the power of faith. Could it be that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon on my body originated from there?"

After the battle with the God of Tur in the sea of consciousness, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon have not shown any signs for a long time.

At this moment, Zhang Xuezhou was conscious, and the black core on his head did not appear, but Zhang Xuezhou heard the chanting of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

He could even sense that he was about to discover the source of the power of the shrine faith in Leiata City.

"There!"

Using the perception granted by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Zhang Xuezhou determined the direction and reached out to grab something in front of him, feeling a broad and warm touch.

When he opened his eyes and saw everything in the shrine, there was no longer any chanting from the Turs, nor any mechanical sounds.

Nags was looking down at Zhang Xuezhou 'Zhang Xuezhou strange posture in front of him.

When Zhang Xuezhou reached out to grab it, he was caught off guard and was grabbed hard on the left cheek.

"Are you... are you trying to disfigure me?" Naggus complained.

"Did you take something from the shrine?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"And then hide it under my face?" Naggs retorted. "Did you discover something of faith?"

Zhang Xuezhou did not respond, while Nagos's gaze swept around the shrine.

The Turs held a ceremony in the ruins of Hongyu Square, but Nagos sensed an extremely subtle and special power.

He couldn't find the source of the power, but he could find Zhang Xuezhou, the owner of the Sinkhole No. 2.

Naggs hadn't expected that Zhang Xuezhou would search blindfolded and even grab him on the face.

"Only those who cultivate their faith can discover objects of faith. Their objects of faith involve characteristics such as collection, storage, aggregation, and rare treasures. Only those who cultivate the power of faith can use these objects. For us, they are just junk!"

Nagos gave a reminder, also indicating that he didn't hide any religious items, since he wouldn't need them.

However, this object of faith does indeed need to be found, lest it be used temporarily by certain beings.

He searched the surroundings and then bumped into Zhang Xuezhou.

When Zhang Xuezhou pulled out a piece of grayish-brown soil from under the broken statue base, Naggus finally discovered the vessel of his faith.
