Chapter 386: The Faith Network

Chapter 380 – Faith Network
Owen hadn’t touched faith before, it was these that had been functioning instead of him, otherwise even if there was a system, he would have to go crazy if he wasn’t stupid under the pressure of the huge faith.

Only this way is too scattered, can not play a big role, right now what Owen wants to do is to integrate these, to form a complete faith network, as the magic network can respond to the prayers of believers, maximize the use of the power of faith to shelter millions of believers.

This sounds like a very large project, even if Owen already has all the conditions, want to perfect the implementation is still not easy.

First of all, Owen ordered to expand the scale of the temple on the basis of the original, because the temple is the residence of God, only the temple can become an important node of the faith network, and at the same time, let the temple down into the countryside into the civilian population is also convenient to gather more faith.

The construction of temples was not a problem for the territories, and with sufficient manpower, the temples in each place changed day by day, but the main problem was the replenishment of missionaries.

Luckily, monks as preachers are one of the military types in the Empire era, and can also be converted from civilians, so it only takes some time to replenish them quickly.

In fact, the number of monks in the territory is not small, because monks are learned and possess certain mysterious power, after learning, they can master art, construction, technology, medicine, potions, magic spells and other abilities, quite a jack of all trades, so directly mobilizing a batch of them can be done, and the territory will step up to replenish the missing positions.

In contrast, as the core of faith spreading priests are a bit of a problem, because priests are invincible heroes of the fifth order of soldiers, and Owen can only exchange one to four order of soldiers building, higher than the fourth order of soldiers can only rely on the exchange.

Although Owen’s progress value was recovering faster now, he still felt inadequate.

On one hand, he needed to exchange knowledge and items from the system for the territory’s research, and on the other hand, all the sanctuaries around the world needed to exchange holy relics to be used as the core of gathering faith, so Owen’s head started to hurt again.

Fortunately, the situation today was still relatively stable, and Owen was able to have the time and energy to perfect the territory’s belief system.

North City’s Holy Light Cathedral has been expanding for thirty years, and is the largest sanctuary in the entire territory, today it is even more solemnly and grandly arranged, a team of priests with monks and templars escorting the holy relics to the sanctuaries around the world, where they will be stationed next, both as the guardians of the holy relics, and also as the purveyors of the faith.

As one holy relic materializes, the priests with their monks hold large-scale rituals in the local area, gathering the faith of the surrounding populace in the holy relics, which will then transmit the faith to the five holy relics of the same lineage.

Owen who stayed in the Holy Light Cathedral was able to sense the faith power coming from all over the territory converging here and tried to integrate into his body, but was rejected by him because he, who was still a mortal, couldn’t withstand the power of faith at all.

When Owen put on the five holy arms, the faith power that gathered on the Holy Light Cathedral was like finding the source, like a river pouring into the five holy relics, and then Owen opened the space of authority and imported the continuous faith power into it, handing it over to the Golden Tree to deal with.

Millions of believers generated faith like a storm falling into the space of authority, see is about to form a terrible storm, the Golden Tree but stretch the roots and branches into a huge tree to withstand all the wind and rain, and then to itself as the core of the transformation of the huge faith force, at the same time with the roots of the tree as a loom, the law as a pattern, will be branded with the imprint of the faith of the weaving line, through the space of authority spread to the territory, connecting all the territories of the temple, and then use this as a node to weave into a network, and then the node as a node to weave into a net. Using this as a node to weave a net, it eventually enveloped the entire territory, forming a unique field of faith.

Because it was a new creation, there would definitely be some oversights in the faith network, but the effect was remarkable. First of all, as shepherds, monks and priests mastered the power of the mind and the divine art of faith given by the Golden Tree, and then the field of faith expanded with the sanctuaries as the center was able to enhance the resistance of believers within the range to abnormalities, especially for them, shepherds, who directly possessed the ability to annihilate evil under the blessing of faith.

From now on, regardless of the undead, demons or evil energy, under the guardianship of the shepherds, it would be difficult to invade the territory, let alone cause damage.

However, this was only temporary, Owen could think of ways to create faith networks and domains, the evil forces would likewise think of ways to keep exploiting the loopholes, so one could rest assured, but could not take it lightly.

Owen who had an idea in mind didn’t stop, instead he continued to improve the belief system of the territory, such as the Holy Light Cathedral as the core.

As the territory’s original and largest sanctuary, this place enshrines the five holy relics, as well as Owen’s most complete idol, and at the same time, it is also the core of the entire territory’s faith network, and its importance is not less important than that of the political and military core, that is, the center of the town.

The Holy Light Cathedral was so important that ordinary priests were naturally not enough to preside over it, so Owen had the original idea of fusing the holy relics with the priests, creating the special profession of bishop.

Because of the fusion of the holy relics, and then obtaining Owen’s permission, the bishop was able to directly mobilize the power of the five holy relics and unleash legendary or higher might.

To a certain extent, the bishop was tantamount to the incarnation of God on earth, or a living saint, so the formation conditions were naturally very harsh, and the priests that had just been exchanged simply couldn’t withstand the powerful faith force that Owen had instilled, and only the ten priests that the system initially rewarded were able to specialize in being a bishop after decades of beliefs and honing their skills.

Even so, it is enough, after all, every conversion of a bishop needs to consume a large amount of faith power, even with thirty years of accumulation, Owen does not dare to squander faith power at will.

It was just that converting all ten priests to bishop was a bit of a waste, not that bishops were bad, but because bishops’ abilities were more on the priestly side, suitable for holding rituals to develop faith rather than fighting.

But the heroes invincible priests which is not swinging scepter dare to fight with the demons of the Lord, all go as a clerical is obviously a waste, so Owen pondered for a while, only transferred five bishops, the remaining five transferred to the trial judge, and set up the trial house.

In Owen’s conception, the Inquisition was mainly for the purification of heretics and evil, so it had to give more targeted power.

The bishops were able to utilize the power of the five holy relics, and the judges of the same rank could not be worse, Owen pondered for a while, using the Great Sword of the Hunting Deity as the core, and integrating the power of the Demon King that he possessed into it, he created a magical sword with a lethality that was still higher than the five holy relics, and plugged it into the root of the Golden Tree, allowing the Judges to utilize the power of this magical sword.

In addition, Owen also mobilized a group of close guards and witch hunters to join the Inquisition and become the first batch of Divine Punishment Warriors and Sisters of the Sin Hunt, and at the same time, allowed the Inquisition to train a group of Judges to serve as the territory’s hunters and killers against evil.
