"I don't know why, but the skills I cast are more powerful and consume less energy. Although it's not much, it's definitely different."
"That's right, the speed of my practice has also improved a bit. I don't know why, but I obviously haven't made any breakthroughs."
"Do you feel that now you can run faster, jump higher, and even your brain feels refreshed?"
Similar situations are happening in many places at the same time.
Everyone felt it and felt liberated.
To be precise, it's not that they have become stronger, but that they were already that strong, but they never knew it and didn't feel it.
If a person is born with shackles and shackles, he will become accustomed to it and take it for granted, especially when these two things are invisible.
This "yoke" is everywhere.
For example, the Apples of Eden in the Book of Light.
God tells you that you can't, and you yourself think that you can't, then you have achieved "can't".
Through the belief system, the God of Light has set too many "can'ts" for intelligent creatures such as humans.
It is also through the power of faith that the God of Light deprives intelligent creatures of too many talents, potentials, powers, etc.
It's just that this kind of deprivation is too hidden, so hidden that it is almost impossible to detect, and it naturally disappears from the cognition of intelligent creatures.
Generation after generation, people have long forgotten their original strength, speed, and durability...
Each generation is worse than the next, and they are accustomed to it, and they find various reasons to prove it.
Xi Tong understands this deeply.
When Tamil was originally chosen as the host of the subsystem, the creatures in Titan Continent could sacrifice their skills through faith.
Xi Tong originally thought that this was the system's own ability, but now he understands that it is the power of faith.
The essence of faith is to devote yourself wholeheartedly and give everything you have.
Xi Tong has always been confused about what faith is.
After millions of reincarnations, Xi Tong finally understood that faith means nothing.
It is nothing, just a simple symbol and concept.
But it is everything.
Because the God of Light guarantees it, it can be exchanged for anything.
As the God of Light becomes stronger and stronger, the redeemable range of faith becomes larger, wider, and more mysterious.
It is easier to understand if you think of the power of faith as a dollar.
A dollar is just a piece of paper, but the power of faith is not even paper.
Both have strong purchasing power and have become symbols of money, even surpassing money itself and becoming a separate belief.
In other words, if you have faith, you have everything.
For example, resources, resources in countless worlds, natural, artificial, cognitive, and only exist in fantasy...
For example, if you need a certain material but it does not exist in this world, you only need to list the characteristics and properties of the material, and you can exchange it through the power of faith.
As for whether the power of faith is naturally generated or artificially created, it is none of the buyer's business.
After all, they only pursue results and don't care about the process.
Another example is the power of spells, skills, divine arts and even rules, which can be methods of cultivation or finished products that have been displayed.
The reason why some fanatical believers are able to explode at the moment of life and death is that the power of faith accumulated throughout their lives is burned and they are exchanged for several powerful magic spells from the gods.
Not to mention anything else, just a little milk from the god is enough to leapfrog the enemy and kill him.
What is built with faith as the cornerstone is a belief system. Gods from countless worlds have devoted themselves to it, working hard to collect faith, and then exchange it for what they want.
Just like MLM.
Believers at the lowest level pass their demands to the higher level, and the higher level obtains the power of faith and works for them at the same time, similar to secular clergy, or assassins who collect money from people to eliminate disasters for people.
After they collect enough power of faith, they can exchange spiritual resources, equipment, or make wishes with the higher-ups.
To them, priceless items or peerless skills are worthless in the eyes of the gods, and their lifelong unattainable wishes are effortless in the eyes of the gods.
Such as magic.
In ancient times, magic spells were usually "So-and-so spirit, please give me so-and-so", and the more awesome one is "In the name of so-and-so".
Just like writing a novel, the spell content is the same.
But the essence behind the appearance is that many magics, spells, etc. are all created and formulated by a powerful being or a group of powerful beings, and then distributed to their believers through faith for their use.
For this reason, magicians are divided into three schools.
The first is to manipulate external natural forces and elemental forces, and only believe in oneself rather than gods.
The second is to partially rely on the power of the gods, or completely rely on the power of the gods and believe in the gods wholeheartedly.
The third one is similar to a wizard, who neither believes in himself nor the gods, but believes in arcane knowledge. In order to explore the truth, he even dares to dissect the gods.
However, it is easy and quick to gain power by believing in gods, and it is so powerful that both individual strength and group strength are at a crushing advantage.
By dealing with gods all day long, they have more time to understand and comprehend gods, and then find ways to become gods.
When they become the lowest level of gods, in order to improve their personal strength and expand the power of their subordinates, they will inevitably embark on the path of faith.
As for the higher-level demands of gods, you can seek help from higher-level gods.
Then there are layer after layer, all the way to the God of Light.
Those who can come into contact with the level of the God of Light are all powerful beings in various worlds.
If their wishes and needs are easily realized, the God of Light doesn't mind using them to build his own golden brand.
If their wishes and needs are difficult to realize, the God of Light does not mind using their heads to protect his golden brand.
Usually, these gods are influenced by the god of light - both physical and non-physical influences.
Since you have converted to the light and boarded the ark, you are your own family. If you still need the power of faith, all of it will be confiscated.
After thinking about this, all the doubts in Xi Tong's mind suddenly became clear.
God is not noble, nor is he great. All truth, goodness and beauty are false propaganda for the purpose of developing believers and robbing faith.
While the gods use the belief system, they will also continue to study it in depth, but it is destined to be in vain.
Because the power of faith is nothing, it has no form, no substance, it is just a simple concept, and all the effects it produces are the bright power behind the power of faith.
The god's research upwards yielded no results, so he naturally turned his attention downwards.
For example, how to obtain the maximum power of faith at the minimum cost, which is the so-called free prostitution of believers.
Over time, the newly born gods no longer understood the true nature of faith, and thought that it, like rules, was a special force that existed forever in the world.
Xi Tong pondered for a moment.
"Luo Tianyi, what the power of faith can do, the Terra Stone Chip Network seems to be able to do the same, and do it better than it does."
Luo Tianyi immediately replied: "Yes, Your Excellency, the Supreme Executive Officer."
