Chapter 424 Is the Power of Incense Poisonous? But What Does This Have to Do with Me, Mu Lin?
"The end is coming, and I will watch from now on until I die."
"I will live and die faithfully to my duty."
"I am the sword in the darkness, the guard in Hades."
"I am the fire against the cold, the light at dawn, the horn that wakes the sleeper, the shield that guards Hades."
"I dedicate my life and glory to Hades, tonight and every night..."
In the square in front of the Hall of the King of Hell, Yan Yunyu gathered together the outcasts who were contaminated by the forbidden power, and made them swear allegiance to Hades and themselves.
When the oath ended, there was a "crash", accompanied by a sound of chains, and thousands of chains appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the bodies of the people in front of them, sealing and imprisoning the forbidden power in their bodies.
After doing all this, Yan Yunyu did not leave. She gave them a warning like a noble goddess.
"Remember your oath, the gods in the underworld are watching you. If you dare to violate it, you will be punished not only in this life, but also in your soul after death."
"But on the contrary, as long as you dedicate your life and glory to the underworld, I will keep you safe during your lifetime, and the great King of Hell will protect your souls, allowing your souls to rest in peace after death, and even live again."
"Yes, we will abide by our oath."
The torture of the taboo power makes these outcasts miserable, and they are no longer like humans or ghosts.
In this case, Yan Yunyu, who saved them and let them out of the sea of suffering, was like a real goddess. Her warnings, as if they were reborn, would naturally be followed.
…
Time passed slowly, and soon, ten days passed.
In these ten days, Mu Lin's faith has spread far and wide.
In the refugee area of the outer city, Ji Lingsha used food as a reward for his kindness, making almost everyone believe in him, and what he spread was the goodness of the underworld.
In the inner city, Si Ye and Chu Lingluo used the power of dreams to let everyone understand the punishment of hell for evildoers. What she spread was the power of Hades.
As for Yan Yunyu, she relied on the confinement power of the Infinite Chain to find outliers and form the underworld's army in the Yang world.
The simultaneous efforts of the three, and most importantly, the tacit approval of the higher-ups of the peasants and soldiers, allowed Mu Lin to win over the faith of almost all the civilians in Tianshi City.
At the same time, Mu Lin's behavior also spread his reputation in Tianshi City and among the middle-level officers of the agricultural and military forces.
In the feudal era, the people at the bottom were ignorant, but the middle and upper levels were different. Especially in this world, the middle and upper levels were almost all monks. It was difficult for them to believe in Mu Lin.
Moreover, there was some dissatisfaction among the middle and senior leaders of the Nongwu soldiers that Zhang Hetian had found an 'outsider' like Mu Lin as his successor.
People always trust those around them.
That is to say, Zhang Hetian's prestige was too high, so they did not dare to object.
But these people are also looking at Mu Lin, observing his behavior to see if he is qualified.
It is always difficult for high-level officials to convince the public when they are airborne.
How to make the people below obey is an enduring problem.
As for Mu Lin, the answer he gave far exceeded the expectations of the senior officials of Nongwu Zhong.
On a wall of Tianshi City, several generals of peasant and military soldiers looked at the people outside the city praising the name of Mu Lin. One of them sighed and shook his head.
"Master Mu Lin has already established a foothold, Master Shui Yuanbai has no chance."
This was agreed by others.
"There is no way. Mr. Mu Lin has done a great job. When he first came to Tianshi City, he solved the parasite crisis. Later, he even got a lot of food, which alleviated our resource problems. Supplemented by dreams, the spread With his own name and prestige, coupled with his talents, even if he does not have the favor of the Hetian Army Leader, he is still the most favorable competitor for the Army Leader. "
"You have forgotten one thing. The threat of taboo power is very great. Although we are not contaminated by this evil power, it is only a matter of time to fight against those demons and monsters and become contaminated by them. In the past, if we were contaminated, We can only wait for death, but now, there is life. "
After these words, even these generals also turned towards Mu Lin.
There was no way, Shui Yuanbai was indeed their familiar boss and had a close relationship with them, but Mu Lin could save their lives.
"We transported food from thousands of miles away and easily solved the crisis of parasites and taboo powers. Coupled with our outstanding talents, we have a bright future... Lord Shui Yuanbai was not unjustly defeated."
"It should be said that Commander Hetian has a very accurate vision... Commander Mu Lin, he personally invited us here."
Mu Lin's superb performance impressed the middle and senior management of the Nongwu Soldiers and made them feel that they saw hope of continued existence.
However, they were happy, but Mu Lin frowned.
He was in great trouble.
"No wonder everyone says that although gods and immortals can be equal, immortals are ultimately superior to gods... The power of this incense is poisonous."
"No, this cannot be said to be poison, it should be said to be impurities."
The power of human belief is powerful, and when people gather together, they can become gods.
But there is also a sentence that many people have not said before.
People's thoughts change rapidly, and no one can always maintain their worship and reverence for God.
Just like today's Mu Lin, who has a noble personality and possesses a true spiritual karma map, he can indeed accept the power of everyone's faith.
But after collecting all these powers of faith, Mu Lin found speechlessly that the worship of God and the recognition of Hades' teachings did not even occupy one percent.
Moreover, there are all kinds of human desires and longings.
"Great God, thank you for letting me eat..."
"Please, Lord God, I want to eat meat. I haven't eaten meat for a long time..."
"I hope Lord God can make my illness better..."
"Lord God, please kill those bastards and avenge my parents..."
"I am willing to give up everything as long as I can kill those bugs..."
"Lord Hades, I am full, can you give me a wife..."
"..."
"I am the God of Hades who rewards good and punishes evil and controls the life and death of the heavens. I am the King of Hell, not the God of Food, let alone the God of Yue. If you want a wife, go find it yourself. Why ask me!"
Thousands of desires, endless desires, these messy things, make Mu Lin helpless.
He knew that if he dared to absorb these things, he would go crazy on the same day.
Fortunately, the gods also had ways to deal with these endless distractions.
Divine fire!
The power of human faith needs to be burned and tempered by divine fire before it can be absorbed.
And Mu Lin, his wish heart lamp, can just be used as divine fire to temper these distractions.
What made Mu Lin even happier was that his wish heart lamp had broken through to the level of perfection, and it was very fast to extract these distractions.
"Boom!"
As the flames burned, the endless distractions were burned, and then Mu Lin found helplessly.
Such a large ball of faith power was directly burned by 99%.
"No wonder the gods want devout believers, fanatics, or saints. It is true that the faith power provided by the pan-believers is not only less, but also contains countless distractions."
If things only come to this, and only the power of faith is reduced, Mu Lin will be uncomfortable, but he will not frown.
What bothered him was that the distractions in the power of faith could not be completely eradicated.
After all, even for devout believers, their worship of Mu Lin was because Mu Lin brought them a better life.
This gratitude and faith were inevitably mixed with other things.
Just like a girl that Mu Lin noticed, named Xiaoyu, because Ji Lingsha fed her, she was very pious to Mu Lin, even to the level of a fanatic, praying to Mu Lin every day.
However, her prayers and beliefs were inevitably tainted with thoughts such as "eggs are delicious", "I don't want to eat green peppers", "there are too many fish bones"... etc.
She was simple enough, but her power of faith was still mixed with other things, and this was the core of her gratitude to Mu Lin, which could not be eliminated.
However, as I said, Mu Lin is the god of the underworld, not the god of food.
'Girl, don't think about eating every day, learn more about the teachings of the underworld! ’
At this time, Mu Lin understood why the fanatics could not marry, have children, and even give up their treasures, enjoyment, and life for the sake of the gods.
They have regarded the gods as the only thing in their lives.
Some people even sacrificed their children to the gods.
But such people are only ranked second among the believers.
The first place is the saints.
The so-called saints are believers who practice the way of the gods, walk the path of the gods, and perfectly match the teachings of the gods.
They may not be as fanatical as the fanatics, and may even question the gods, but the power of faith they provide is the best and easiest to be absorbed by the gods.
Even some saints with extraordinary character and outstanding abilities can supplement the way of the gods.
And most gods will not treat such saints unfairly. Becoming an apostle after death is a basic operation. Some saints who have made great contributions will even become gods.
And such saints, under Mu Lin’s command... almost none.
"Trouble..."
Because the distracting thoughts inside the power of faith cannot be cleared, if the King of Hell in Mulin absorbs these powers of faith, he will inevitably be affected.
The temporary impact does not matter, after all, they have been tempered by the divine fire, and the distracting thoughts are extremely small.
However, the influence of one person is nothing, but what if ten people, hundreds of people, thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of millions of people.
And when the time of this influence is extended to ten years, a hundred years, or even thousands of years...It is difficult for people or gods to resist this continuous influence.
"So, after absorbing the power of faith, I will not change in a short time, but thousands of years later, the consciousness and image of the King of Hell will become the god believed by mankind because of the continuous influence of hundreds of millions of people for thousands of years, not my will."
"Moreover, the farther and faster my reputation spreads, the faster the transformation of the King of Hell's consciousness will be."
It can only be said that the will of an individual is slim under the vast civilization and the scouring of history.
Therefore, the more powerful the gods are, the weaker their personal wills are.
In this case, even if the gods are as powerful as the True Lord, I am no longer myself. Such a path is naturally inferior to the immortal path that can maintain its own self.
Thinking of this, Mu Lin commanded the King of Hell to absorb the power of faith.
The incense is indeed poisonous, but it is the King of Hell who absorbs the power of faith. What does it have to do with me, Mu Lin!
"The King of Hell is my incarnation, but I am more than just the King of Hell."
