Feng Chou used the identity of Kalimke's prophet to live in the Kandiwana tribe.
He quickly used Kalimke's memories to control the heroic spirit in his hands.
The nobles of Kandiwana gradually realized that their prophet seemed to have changed. He had become more reclusive, deeper, wiser, more powerful, and more … mysterious!
The people realized that the reclusive prophet had suddenly become omniscient and insightful. No lies could deceive him.
Feng Chou did not use any cruel means, nor did he show any great power. He just casually exposed all the lies.
He didn't even punish the liars, but the nobles of Kandyvana were in awe and fear of him.
If there was anything scarier than an omniscient leader in the world, it would be an omniscient leader who had absolute power!
For a leader, fear was sometimes more useful than love. Feng Chou's ears quickly quieted down.
The people realized that the omniscient prophet did not seem to want to care too much, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting rid of the boring trifles of the tribe, Feng Chou could finally calm down and study the tribe's totem.
The statue of the God of the Hunt was carved with a very precious magic wood. Other than that, there was nothing special about the statue.
However, Feng Chou could feel that there was a strange force field on the statue. This force was similar to the divine power of a priest, but also completely different. It was broad and profound, but also seemed to be full of impurities.
Feng Chou used his perception and analysis to study the statue from the different perspectives of a monk and a mage.
He did not expect that these two methods would have a miraculous effect. He gradually understood the force field on the statue.
Feng Chou realized that there was a spiritual force field attached to the statue. It originated from spiritual force, but was completely different from spiritual force. This was the "power of faith".
This was a world where spiritual force could affect matter. Magic was the most concrete manifestation of spiritual force affecting matter.
The stronger the spiritual force, the stronger the effect on matter. For example, the higher the level of a mage, the stronger the spiritual force, the stronger the casting ability, and the greater the power of magic.
However, a mage's spiritual force was always limited. Even a legendary mage only had four to five hundred units of spiritual force, which was only forty to fifty times that of an ordinary person.
Of course, the ability of a mage to control matter also came from their knowledge. A legendary mage's spiritual force was forty to fifty times that of an ordinary person, but the power of magic they could exert was far greater than forty to fifty people. Knowledge could allow a mage to exert ten times the power of their spiritual force.
However, even ten times the power was only equivalent to four to five hundred people.
What would happen if the spiritual force of four to five thousand people could be gathered together?
That would produce an incomparably powerful force!
But how to gather the spiritual force of four to five thousand people?
There was only one way, and that was faith.
The force field on the statue of the God of Hunting was the power generated by the spirits gathered together by faith.
This power came from spiritual force, but different from spiritual force.
Compared to an individual's spiritual force, this kind of power was scattered, fragmented, but orderly.
The "power of faith" would gather on the target of faith. After accumulating over time, it would produce a strong force field.
Feng Chou finally found "divinity" in the deepest part of the force field of faith on the statue.
What was divinity?
After years of research, Feng Chou came to the conclusion that divinity was actually a kind of authority. It was a kind of authority granted by the origin of this world, the authority to control the rules of the world!
This was a world where spiritual force could affect matter. The stronger the spiritual force, the stronger the influence on matter.
When thousands of people in a tribe unanimously and strongly believed that a certain existence had authority in a certain aspect, and persisted in this belief, then this collective belief would have a certain influence on the rules of the world. When this influence lasted long enough and the influence was strong enough, the origin of the world would respond to it.
This response from the origin of the world was this thing called divinity.
This was the power of faith in this world.
We believed that you were a god, and in the end, you became a god!
In ancient times, the totem gods of intelligent creatures were basically produced in this way.
The divinity in the totem statue of the Kandivana tribe was also produced in this way.
Feng Chou also found that because it was ownerless, the divinity in the statue was very easy to seize and absorb, and there was almost no resistance.
This discovery made Feng Chou extremely depressed. If there was no Reincarnation Mirror, he could easily absorb a little divinity and become a divine person.
Although there was only a little divinity and it was not of much help to a legendary master like him, there were thousands of primitive tribes living on this archipelago, among which there were at least a hundred tribes larger than Kandivana. Among these primitive tribes, at least one-fifth of the tribes had the territory of hunting as their totem. These tribes were potential targets to harvest hunting divinity.
Feng Chou believed that it was not difficult to harvest more than ten hunting divinity from these tribes, and ten points of divinity in the same territory meant that it was enough for Feng Chou to step into the demigod realm!
However, the threat of the Reincarnation Mirror made the good thing in front of Feng Chou only be able to look at, but not eat. How could he not be depressed, how could he not be resentful!
In fact, forbidding Feng Chou to absorb divinity was also one of the reasons why Feng Chou would rather abandon Qiankun Pagoda to get rid of the Reincarnation Mirror. Unfortunately, the Reincarnation Mirror was far more terrible than he had hoped.
However, Feng Chou was not depressed for too long, because he thought of another possibility to use divinity.
Thinking of this possibility, Feng Chou immediately asked the Reincarnation Mirror, "Since I can't absorb divinity, what about Qiankun Pagoda?"
Now Feng Chou did not need to enter Qiankun Pagoda to ask the Reincarnation Mirror to summon it. He only needed to gently call in his heart, and he could directly communicate with the Reincarnation Mirror in his consciousness.
The Reincarnation Mirror's answer was, "The contract does not prohibit it, so you can do it."
Feng Chou heard this and immediately launched the relevant research. He quickly came to the conclusion that Qiankun Pagoda could not only absorb divinity, but was also very suitable for absorbing divinity.
In ancient times, there were about three kinds of totems that intelligent creatures worshiped. Powerful magic creatures, such as a wind snake that Troll first worshiped. Natural spirits, spiritual creatures produced by the combination of the souls of creatures and natural elements. Among them, the most common was the ancestral spirit, the product of the combination of human souls and natural elements. The third was an idol made according to imagination.
The "God of Hunting" of the Kandivana people belonged to the third kind.
