Chapter 306 Promotion!
South of the Sun Staircase Mountains, on the edge of the dense forest, the ruins of Assam City stand silently in the middle of the tranquil holy lake.
This was once the heart of the Ankylosaurus Kingdom, but now only ruins remain.
In the center of the ruins, a newly built granite temple rose from the ground, and the square in front of the door was filled with players taking on tasks.
Seeing the Demon King who suddenly appeared at the door of the temple, the players had expressions of surprise on their faces, and they all whispered to each other.
"Why is this guy here?"
"Is a new expansion pack going to be released again?"
Some players are eager to try it.
As we all know, wherever the devil appears, nothing good will happen, but this is what they are waiting for!
Unlike the players, the acolytes and guards standing at the door of the temple nodded slightly, with piety written on their faces.
Luo Yan nodded to them without being polite, and then turned his attention to the simple yet majestic temple in front of him.
The entire building is pieced together from the remnants of the temple dedicated to the dragon god Gutav. The construction took a total of half a month. Although it looks sloppy from any angle, it is more than enough as a place of worship to unite faith.
"Wait for me here."
Luo Yan whispered, signaling Sarah, who was holding Taff, to wait where she was, and then walked into the temple that belonged to him.
In the hall of the temple, there is a dragon statue with teeth and claws. It seems to be worshiping the dragon god, but in fact, this guy is just a mount to watch the gate.
In the secret room directly below the hall, the real statue of the god is enshrined!
The stone statue has sharp edges and corners, a calm expression, and its facial features are 90% similar to Luo Yan's, except for the handsome, elegant and easy-going charm.
Although it did not open its mouth, it exuded an invisible pressure——
That is the weight of faith!
In the process of smashing the Great Barrier and allowing the continent of Janna to reappear in the main world, countless lizardmen poured their faith into the name of the "Demon King" out of fear, admiration and surrender.
The power of faith was not wasted. They gathered in the sky above the city of Assam, were absorbed by the statue in the prayers of the acolytes, and stayed in the new sanctuary surrounded by ruins - waiting for the return of its owner.
Now.
He is coming.
"Go." Luo Yan whispered.
The white mist in his body slowly emerged, and Youyou's body turned into a milky white stream of light, like a soul that shed its shell, penetrated the air, and rushed toward the statue.
At that moment, the statue shook.
Invisible ripples spread out, and the power of faith that was so rich that it almost condensed poured out like a tide, and was absorbed by Youyou crazily. Its body expanded rapidly, its outline blurred but increasingly bright, as if it was about to turn into a rising crescent moon.
——Until everything calms down.
Luo Yan's eyes focused on Youyou.
He discovered.
I can finally see it.
Even without the help of a mirror!
Yuyou, who had eaten and drank enough, returned to Luo Yan, gently wrapped his arm around him, and burped contentedly like a well-fed little animal.
"Huh... it's really delicious," it said lazily, "Hehehe, the devil tastes really good."
Luo Yan: "..."
The ingredients of this sentence are so complicated that he doesn't know who this guy learned it from.
But now Luo Yan has no time to talk nonsense, he is busy confirming his profits.
Closing his eyes, his consciousness quickly sank and he soon entered the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, a scene that surprised him happened.
his sea of consciousness was originally a dark and silent void, but now this deep darkness is dotted with countless light spots.
Just like the universe where stars shine!
Those light spots floated quietly, and each one contained a familiar atmosphere: Sissi, Sarah, Octo, Alakdo, Bond, Lumil...including those souls that were lifted up by his power of faith, and those souls that offered their faith to him from the heart!
There are players, humans, lizardmen, imps, night elves, stone men, mole men, undead, etc.!
Luo Yan's eyes were filled with surprise and even astonishment. He was so shocked by the shining sea of consciousness that he almost lost his words.
After a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence from his lips.
These...are all my followers?
But why do they appear here?
Luo Yan stretched out his hand and tried to touch the light spots, but found that his hand passed through them and touched nothing.
However, even if his consciousness cannot touch them, he can still feel that they do exist in this empty ocean of consciousness, as well as the link between himself and them!
Luo Yan was shocked.
"Hehe... Lord Demon King, are you surprised?" A milky white mist appeared next to Luo Yan, and a long voice floated from it.
Luo Yan nodded and turned his attention to his own godhead.
"What happened? Where did that... stone tablet go?"
He noticed that it was not only the light spots that lit up in the depths of the sea of consciousness that had changed, but the stone tablet that originally stood in the sea of consciousness also disappeared.
Although the stone tablet itself was given to him by Isaac's relics, and he did not have that thing in his consciousness originally, it was strange that he couldn't bear to let it go just like that.
"Its historical mission has been completed, and you no longer need it! As for the specific changes, you should open the natural disaster system first to confirm!" Youyou's body exuded ripples of expectation, and the voice was like encouraging yourself to open a gift tied with a red string.
Luo Yan called the system with hesitation, and the moment his mind moved, the light blue interface appeared in front of him.
The [Personal Attribute] column has not changed, it is still the same as before, but the column that originally recorded the faith value has quietly disappeared.
Instead, there is a new and more detailed interface——
【
Godhead: Luo Yan
Legendary factors: The Demon King of Thunder County, the Flame King in the south of the Wanren Mountains, Prince Colin from a distant continent, the civilian councilor born in the Demon Temple...
Influence share: 01%
Overdraft limit: 0%
Dominance efficiency: 100%
Seed of myth (demigod) ：0
Legendary Seed (Grandmaster): 0
Amethyst Seed (Amethyst): 0
Diamond Seed (Diamond): 0
"This...what happened?!" Surprised by the incredible changes in the system interface, Luo Yan couldn't help but blurt out.
Hongyou's voice sounded in his ears at the right time.
"Congratulations, Lord Demon King! You have finally given birth to your own godhead!"
His voice seems to have a touch of divine brilliance, and it sounds and looks significantly different from before.
Looking at his own godhead, Luo Yan asked doubtfully.
"Wasn't it before?"
"Before - of course!"
Youyou coughed in a serious manner, and the milky white mist puffed up slightly, as if it was puffing up its chest.
"But after all, it was inherited from the God of Machinery, Linte Isaac, and it also has a little bit of the God's Chosen element... Yunyu should have told you about this!"
"But now, since your total faith value has reached 100 million, and the daily faith value increment has exceeded one million, it has officially exceeded the statistical upper limit of the natural disaster system! Therefore, the natural disaster system determines that you have left a deep enough imprint on the world in the form of miracles and formed an independent pantheon!"
"Original faith value statistics The standard only applies to the beliefs of the minority, and now you are obviously not a minority anymore——"
· "In other words, from today on, you have officially changed from a new employee to one of the shareholders of this world!"
· When saying this, Yoyo nodded her abstract head proudly.
"It's really gratifying... I originally thought you would reach this stage later, but I didn't expect you to be so fast!"
One hundred million...faith value? !
Luo Yan was shocked by this number.
This power of faith can elevate a million black iron-level extraordinary beings!
Or——
Upgrade a platinum-level soul to diamond-level!
If the subsequent steps are also in decimal increments...
It took a long time to digest the shock in his heart, Luo Yan calmed down, looked at the milky white mist with a proud look and continued.
“Can you briefly explain it to me?”
said proudly.
“To put it simply, I have graduated from Novice Village!”
Graduating from Novice Village is not bad.
Luo Yan also doesn’t know whether one year is too fast or too slow to leave Novice Village.
But referring to Gutav's diary, it took that guy nearly a century to understand the secret of the godhead. I should be considered a person with higher understanding?
Isn't this explanation too simple? !
Looking at Youyou who was still complacent, Luo Yan took a deep breath and continued.
"I can understand the "Legendary Factor", that is, the legend I have left in this world, right? But what does the share of influence mean? What are the overdraft limits, control efficiency, and those seeds."
"Hmm! I'm just about to explain this to you!"
Hearing Luo Yan asked the key question, Youyou immediately restrained her cheerfulness and continued with a serious attitude.
"The so-called share of influence is the total share of the faith condensed by your godhead in the faith map of the entire planet!"
Luo Yan: "...So it's only 01%?"
Yuyou: "It's already a lot! Both Saint Sith and the Demon God have thousands of years of history! Not to mention there are people like Dragon God Gutafu, Yi The old gods such as the Gede Tree and the Gods of Elements... Even today, they have not been completely forgotten and still occupy a very small share. You can't expect to surpass them in one day, right? "
In fact, the demon god Bayali only has five hundred years.
However, Luo Yan didn't want to interrupt on this irrelevant question, but looked at Youyou and continued to ask the key questions.
"My influence share accounts for 01%, which means...the influence share of Saint Sith and Demon God will decrease accordingly?"
"Of course! But you don't have to worry about attracting their attention immediately. After all, even without you, their shares are constantly fluctuating. ! Including chaos, including the sudden birth of faith... these will shake the authority in their hands! If you want them to realize the problem, it must be at least 10%, right? "
Luo Yan's hanging heart was temporarily relieved, waiting for Yuyou to continue to explain.
The latter cleared his throat and continued speaking quickly.
“In short, that’s what influence share is all about. I’ll leave the overdraft limit and control efficiency to the end... As for the four seeds you see, they are high-level transcendent beings under your control!”
"High-level extraordinary person?"
h "Yes! This is Lint Isaac's own definition. According to his observation, the extraordinary power that a diamond-level powerhouse can control is already equivalent to 01% of the influence share! And 01% is almost a measure of the territory of belief. The minimum scale of the ratio, any smaller will lead to various statistical errors, so we can only use another set of more concise standards - that is, the power of faith calculation method you used before! "
In other words... 01% of the influence share is compared with 100 million faith points?
Perhaps we have to include the daily increment of one million faith points.
Luo Yan thought for a moment and said.
"I roughly understand that as the share of influence my faith occupies in this world increases, the more high-level extraordinary beings I can control? And each seed corresponds to a different level of high-level extraordinary beings?"
Yuyou nodded her abstract head in approval.
"Correct!"
"What about below the platinum level?"
"Of course they still need to consume the power of your faith, but compared to the order of 100 million, you didn't notice Is the power of faith occupied by black iron-level extraordinary beings already very small? Unless you suddenly upgrade a hundred gold-level souls, and they also have gold-level strength, it will not suddenly exceed the scope of the "01% influence share"!"
The share of influence occupied by one hundred gold-level powerhouses is close to that of one diamond-level powerhouse. When converted using the calculation rules of the power of faith, the ratio is almost 100:1.
Luo Yan tried to understand the concepts explained by Youyou.
The previous faith value and the daily faith value increment are equivalent to a measuring ruler, and the two staggered coordinate axes together form the scale line on the beaker.
But now, his belief pool has expanded from a beaker to a rooftop water tank. The amount of one or two beakers is already negligible to him, and the corresponding statistical scale has naturally lost its value.
And from Yuyou’s words, he also extracted a key piece of information——
That is, a simple increase in soul level will not occupy the share of influence, but the price will be realized when the opponent truly masters the corresponding extraordinary power!
Just like a king promising territory that his vassals cannot fulfill, the monarch's authority will naturally be affected accordingly.
In this way——
The "Domination Efficiency" in the Godhead panel is probably used to reflect the "exceeding effect" caused by excessive promotion.
As a roundworm in Luo Yan's belly, Youyou immediately guessed what he was thinking, and an expression of "As expected of me" appeared on her face.
"That's right! This is what dominance efficiency means! Although you can upgrade the soul levels of your believers at will from now on, Yunyu still does not recommend that you upgrade all players to diamonds! If they all reach more than 100 levels, both you and them will have a big headache!"
"I know, there will be debuffs, right?"
In fact, Luo Yan had suspected it a long time ago.
There is a limit to the upgrade of the soul.
After all, a thousand years have passed, and the world has not become a situation where masters are inferior to dogs and demigods are everywhere.
Whether it is the empire or hell, the number of top combat forces tends to be fixed, and the higher the level of the transcendent, the more so!
Taking hell as an example, it may not be easy to count strong men at the platinum level, but at the diamond level, you can basically count them with two hands.
As for the Amethyst level and the Grandmaster level, they can basically all be called by their names, and their lists often remain unchanged for hundreds of years, so they know each other well.
At the demigod level, it is the only one. Six are in the cabinet as leaders of factions, and two are teaching and educating people at Demon King Academy and High Demon Academy respectively.
Then it was gone!
The heads and elders of each major family are all master-level and amethyst-level experts, and some families also have an "exit mechanism" on this basis.
For example, the Colin family.
After the new head of the family inherits the position of head of the family, the title of the old head of the family will be transferred to the head of the new head of the family, and along with it will be transferred the opportunity to be promoted to demigod.
In other words, if Caesar Colin passes the throne to Roxey Colin, Caesar's strength will gradually weaken to the grandmaster level.
In contrast, Roxai's strength will gradually reach its peak in the next 100 years, becoming a new generation of demigod-level powerhouses, and completing the replacement of generations with the old demigod powerhouses.
In short, in the past 1,000 years, although the list of demigod-level powerhouses has changed, the number has not fluctuated significantly.
Luo Yan has always believed that he is not outside the rules, and he is not the only one in the world who can upgrade his believers.
Even the idiot Gutafu was unconsciously promoted to a fantasy species by the dragons, let alone the local gods with thousands of years of roots and inheritance in this world?
The reason why they don’t upgrade their believers is definitely not because they don’t want to, but because they simply can’t do it.
It doesn’t make sense to explain it with the power of belief, but it makes sense to explain it with the share of influence!
And so to say -
"The total amount of extraordinary power in this world is fixed!" Youyou stared at Luo Yan with her abstract eyes, and revealed what the latter was thinking.
They are one and the same, so naturally they can be connected at the same time.
"But why?" Luo Yan was lost in thought, and after a moment he said, "I am not surprised by this rule, but I want to know how Lint Isaac determined this? His 'Sect of the Mechanical God' does not occupy a high 'share of influence', right?"
The share of the power of faith that that guy occupied at his peak is probably not as good as Gutafu, who has "descendants everywhere".
And it did not exist for a long time. An old farmer with a slightly longer lifespan could witness the madness and decline of the Isaac Dynasty in the last years.
Yoyou did not deny this, she admitted it frankly.
“Indeed! Linte Isaac clearly mentioned in the message he left that his research was not the final conclusion, but just the tip of the iceberg about the universe that he saw standing on the shoulders of many giants... But unfortunately, he has no chance to see more. The other side is far away, so I can only leave this opportunity to you in the future. "
Perhaps it is because I inherited Lint Isaac's research and also inherited part of his memory about this research. Youyou's voice was a bit melancholy.
Luo Yan was silent for a while and then slowly spoke.
"Okay, let's ignore the source of his knowledge... continue."
Yuyou continued.
"In order to quantitatively study the relationship between extraordinary power and the power of faith, He called the sum of extraordinary powers on the entire planet the "Seeds of Creation"!"
"Simply put - it is the code written by the Creator for himself, the console used to create the world, or the backdoor left for himself!"
"In the conclusion he came to, there is only one Seed of Creation! As for one for each planet, or one for each planet. A galaxy, and which planets have them and which planets don’t have them, and whether they exist on your common home earth, He doesn’t know... But what is certain is that on a long enough time scale, the seeds of creation that the creatures on this planet can touch are constant!”
Luo Yan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said.
"In other words, whether there are 100 million humans or 100 billion goblins living on this planet, the total amount of extraordinary power will not change?"
Youyou: "Correct!"
Luo Yan continued to ask.
"So if there is only the last person left on this planet, then he will directly become a god?"
Yuyou hesitated for a moment, quietly nodded his abstract head, and said cautiously.
"This is the most extreme situation. In theory, it should be as you said... But Lord Demon King, Youyou does not recommend you to try it. Not to mention that this process may cause chaos, and your believers may themselves become suspicious."
“I’m not that bottomless.” Luo Yan glanced sideways at Youyou, feeling that this guy actually had a bit of a misunderstanding of him.
Everything he does will seek the consent of his followers, and he will rarely push an agenda that everyone opposes without explanation.
Yuyou continued.
"Lint Isaac divided the "Seed of Creation" into 10,000 parts. Based on multiple sample tests and imprecise calculations, he initially came to the conclusion that 10% of the influence share is enough to create a "Seed of Myth"! That is, the corresponding demigod-level powerhouse!"
Hearing this data, Luo Yan couldn't help but frowned.
"Wait, 10% of the influence share can create a demigod-level strongman? But there are already 8 in hell alone!"
The share of hell will never account for 80%, right? !
As if he guessed that Luo Yan would ask this question, Youyou continued.
"This involves the variable "overdraft limit" in the godhead panel. Although strictly speaking, a demigod-level powerhouse needs to occupy 10% of the influence share, Linte Isaac found in actual tests that the influence The share can actually be overdrawn! "
"However, there is a price for overdrafting the power of faith. The data of domination efficiency is used to measure the interest imposed on the entire belief system - or debuff!"
"Based on this theory, whether it is Hell or Saint Sith, the use of the power of faith is due to overspending! But because the proportion of their overspending is not large, it is a benign overspending. And this can also explain why extraordinary people of different levels in different periods have different levels of power shown in literature records... In fact, you have also felt it, right? ? It is difficult for Hell Demons at the same level to defeat the Imperial Divine Chosen at the same level, not only because of attribute restraint, but also largely because of the different overdraft ratios between the two sides! In other words -
As long as there is no overdraft at all and the control efficiency is always maintained at 100%, can the same level be crushed?
However, Luo Yan also knew that it was actually unrealistic to maintain 100% control efficiency.
After all, as long as he sets the rules for the promotion of lower-level transcendental beings, even if the rules are strict and are linked to reincarnation, there will definitely be a large number of extraordinary beings climbing from black iron to bronze, and then from bronze to silver...
As time goes by, there are more and more lower-level transcendental beings. Even if he controls the number of upper-level transcendental beings, he cannot hold back the "ant-killing elephant".
After all, one million black iron-level extraordinary people can occupy the quota of one diamond-level powerhouse, but the empire has more than one million black iron-level adventurers?
This is the number of bronzes!
And this is only the lowest level of extraordinary beings.
Silver and fine steel are the backbone of each kingdom!
Perhaps preventing some people from entering reincarnation is not a solution...even if it is undoubtedly cruel to the vast majority of abandoned ghosts.
As for those nobles who waste their soul level and are lazy and lazy.
From Saint Sith's perspective, this is not a bad thing.
Him He does not need his followers to always be able to fight, as long as those guys can fight during difficult historical periods, it is enough.
In any case, they never thought about destroying hell and dragging their families underground.
After summarizing all the explanations of Youyou, Luo Yan pondered for a moment and said.
"I already understand the basic situation. For us... the current goal is to expand our influence as much as possible to obtain more shares of the power of faith."
h "As for the four seeds in the godhead panel, they correspond to the top combat power I can control. In terms of quantity, creating a mythical seed will occupy 10%, a legendary seed requires 1%, an amethyst seed requires 1%, a diamond seed requires 01%, and platinum requires one-tenth of a diamond seed. The rest can be ignored and can be controlled at a macro level... Is this what you mean?"
"That's right! As expected of the Demon King! I understood it in an instant." Youyou nodded approvingly and continued, "The last thing I want to add is that the seeds condensed by the share of the power of faith can not only be used to nourish the soul, but also be used to make artifacts! For example, you The "Light of Praise" I have seen is actually a legendary seed that accounts for 1% of the influence. Even their names are similar, right?"
Luo Yan: "I see..."
Yuyou continued.
"An artifact without a soul is actually more reliable than the soul itself, but it also has its own inconveniences, such as the lack of subjective initiative. Although choosing a holder for it can make up for it, the holder itself is at risk of being corrupted. For example, Her Highness Eileen Campbell, who has been writing to you, has almost turned into your shape——"
"I recommend you to put it in a more elegant way. She and I are innocent..." Luo Yan coughed and interrupted Yuyou's speech, then changed the subject and continued, "What about the players? Which situation do they belong to?"
Yoyou continued excitedly.
"In Lint Isaac's design, the player is a compromise! This is definitely a genius design! The soul mirror itself can be regarded as an artifact, but the object it is given is not the people of this world, but the hometown you and Lint Isaac share!"
Hearing this, Luo Yan suddenly understood many things that he had not understood before.
It turns out that the essence of the player is the holder of the artifact!
They make up for the lack of subjective initiative of the artifact itself.
However, they also have corresponding flaws -
After all, they do not belong to this world.
And this world is so different from the earth that it is difficult for them to identify with the people or things here outside of the game.
This also means that I need to give more guidance.
But these are small things.
磨合了这么久，罗炎早就摸清楚他们的秉性，以及和他们相处的最佳模式了……
就像现在这样。
"I have one last question, what will happen if the share of faith reaches 100%? Will you completely become the Creator?"
Yuyou hesitated for a moment and whispered.
“It is not mentioned in the information left by Linte Isaac, but according to his deduction...getting the code written by the Creator should mean mastering the ability to rival the Creator, right? Of course, this is almost impossible. After all, it is logically impossible for the influence share to reach 100%. There will always be something that slips through the net. Fish."
"After all, even gods who have established a spiritual connection with believers cannot know what each believer is thinking... Needless to say, the influence of chaos, even if there is no chaos, there will be disagreements within the same faith, and these will have an impact."
Is that so?
After hearing what Youyou said, Luo Yan couldn't help but curl up with a meaningful smile.
He completely agreed with the second half of Youyou's sentence. Even he could not completely cut open a person's heart and penetrate into every corner of his spiritual world.
He can only roughly judge who is trustworthy, specifically what matters are trustworthy, and what matters cannot be trusted.
But having said that, he is not only holding a planet in his hand, there is also a door on the planet Kaa.
The influence share here is less than 100%. If we include the influence over there, we can make up the whole figure, right?
While there is no theory to prove this is possible, he is clearly standing on higher shoulders than the giants at the feet of Lint Isaac.
In Lint Isaac's time, there was no precedent for a reverse invasion of Chaos——
But a thousand years after subspace technology has matured, he still has the path of "foreign conquest" to take!
Even if the “seed of creation” over there is smaller.
Of course, it is too far away to say this now.
Kaa's planet is currently just a place for leveling. The first thing he needs to do now is to consolidate his faith in the continent of Janna.
Looking at only 01% of the influence share, Luo Yan condensed it into a diamond seed without hesitation and gave it to himself.
He was not in a hurry to improve his strength before, but now he has a reason to speed up the progress -
It’s not just because of Goligo’s vigilant eyes.
It is because his influence is no longer that of an insignificant ant, and he can wander between hell and the surface without worrying about being targeted.
If this trend continues, sooner or later he will encounter the same problems that Linte Isaac once encountered!
This crowded planet cannot accommodate the third god!
A gentle warm current blew through Luo Yan's soul, making his eyebrows tingle slightly. At the same time, he felt that his spiritual entity standing in the sea of consciousness had become clearer and more solid!
It was an upgrade that transcended the five-dimensional attributes——
Although the jump in soul level did not cause any changes in the attribute panel, Luo Yan could still clearly feel that he was different from before.
his sense of existence in this universe——
It has never been so intense!
The updated godhead panel quickly appeared in front of him.
, a civilian councilor born in the Demon Temple...
Influence share: 01%
Overdraft limit: 0%
Domination efficiency: 100%
At this point——
The "Luo Yan Sect" in charge of the necropolis has given birth to the first strong man with a diamond-level soul!
After quietly feeling for a while the comfort that reached the depths of his soul, Luo Yan turned off the godhead panel presented in front of him.
Luo Yan did not explain, and left the sea of consciousness with just one sentence.
「It’s time to start leveling up!」
