Chapter 494: Chapter 461: Crazy Expansion_1
“What do you think caused the power of faith to become so scarce?” Lu Jingkong asked.
“On the one hand, it is definitely due to the lack of steadfast faith. On the other hand, it is very likely related to the environment,” Xu Mu replied.
“Could it be due to the limitations of this world’s laws?”
“Probably not!”
Xu Mu shook his head.
“If it had anything to do with the laws, the power of faith would not have been able to be conceived.”
“So what should we do now?”
Lu Jingkong has abandoned the Divine Path and now helps Xu Mu wholeheartedly. As for crossing the river and dismantling the bridge in the future, she can only leave it to fate.
Fortunately, according to the information she gathered, Xu Mu treated his family members quite well. As the two of them have already invested so deeply, it should not be the case where they would turn against each other as soon as they go out.
So she feels quite at ease now.
“Let’s make a comparison,” Xu Mu thought for a moment and said.
“Compare? How?”
The power of faith is intangible and indistinctive. Although Xu Mu could sense it, it was also very vague.
Investigating the causes was extremely difficult.
Unlike in the Cultivation Realm, where a simple release of Divine Intent could reveal everything.
“Let’s build more temples, change their layouts, and see what has influenced their conception.”
“That’s a good idea!” Lu Jingkong’s eyes lit up.
They immediately put it into action.
The two of them made various contrasting groups based on the geographical location of the temples, their architectural styles, and the placement of the idols.
In the end, they let the believers worship in each one.
This method proved to be quite useful, and the two quickly discovered the problem.
“It has to do with the martial artist!”
In one of the temples, Xu Mu had an idea and allowed ordinary people to hold all positions inside.
As a result, this temple gained dozens of times more power of faith than the others.
This result was something Xu Mu never expected at the beginning.
He originally thought that the stronger his forces were, the more power of faith he would gain. This was how it worked in the Cultivation Realm.
But it is now the opposite.
No, not the opposite. The presence of a martial artist and the Divine Path are completely antagonistic.
A martial artist can negate the power of faith!
Xu Mu suddenly realized that the reason Lu Jingkong couldn’t cultivate the Divine Path was not due to the influence of her Immortal cultivation in her body, but due to her Martial cultivation.
In other words, martial artists cannot cultivate the Divine Path.
This conclusion is greatly unexpected to both of them.
There seems to be some kind of correlation hidden within this, which feels like a well-kept secret.
However, the two of them seem to have no way to investigate it for now.
As for the Immortal Path, perhaps it can coexist with the Divine Path. This made Lu Jingkong consider giving up her Martial cultivation multiple times. However, she was reluctant to give up her Kun Peng’s true blood, and she wasn’t very certain, so she eventually gave up.
Although they didn’t understand the principle behind this, having found the problem, the next steps were easy.
So all the positions in the Divine Church were taken over by ordinary people without any cultivation.
Compared to managing martial artists, handling ordinary people is actually easier.
The only downside was that ordinary people were very fragile and not as swift as martial artists. Their energy levels were also very limited.
Despite these shortcomings, Xu Mu still wanted to implement ordinary people as leaders in order to harvest the power of faith.
With Xu Mu’s backing, the status of ordinary people began to rise significantly, while the previously revered martial artists were relegated to secondary roles.
