The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2371 The Familiar Pyramid Structure

Yan Chenglong looked quite surprised: "Brother Lin, don't you know about the power of faith and will?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "We come from a mid-level immortal realm and have only recently arrived in the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. This is the first time we've heard of the power of faith and will. Can you explain it to us?"

Yan Chenglong laughed and said, "Is that so? No wonder you don't know. To put it simply, there are three thousand great paths, each with its own strengths. The path we usually come into contact with the most is the Qi Refining Path, while the Sea God Sect follows the Path of Willpower."

"Everyone understands the Qi Refining Path, so there's no need to explain it. This Path of Willpower is the path to immortality through gathering faith and the power of willpower, and cultivating with that power..."

Lin Chen's heart stirred: "Develop followers, absorb their offerings and faith, and ultimately become an immortal?"

Yan Chenglong nodded: "Yes, that's pretty much it. The more believers there are, the more aspirations they have, and the higher their achievements will be. As long as the number of believers continues to grow, they will eventually become saints."

Nalan Wushuang asked curiously, "If you're certain you'll become a saint, don't you consider the bottlenecks?"

Yan Chenglong laughed and said, "Using the power of will to cultivate ignores bottlenecks, which is the greatest advantage of the path of will."

Everyone was greatly surprised. Ziyun exclaimed, "Does that mean everyone is born with a Dao body?"

Yan Chenglong nodded: "That makes sense, but it's not something you can just advance to. The amount of willpower required for advancement is enormous, and the amount of willpower required to advance to the Saint level is an unimaginable amount."

“The power of aspiration is provided by believers. There can be many believers, but there are also many people who want to share the power of aspiration. As a result, it is very difficult to gather more power of aspiration and reach a higher level.”

"Even if there are no bottlenecks, so what? If you don't have enough willpower, you still can't advance."

Lin Chen vaguely understood: "Perhaps this is why the power of will has not become widespread in all places?"

Yan Chenglong nodded: "Yes, the path of the power of wishes seems simple, but it is actually not easy to walk. The reason why the power of wishes is so prevalent in the North Sea is related to the unique terrain, the distribution of power, and the basic concepts of mortals in the North Sea."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the first-tier Sea God Token: "Can this Sea God Token be used to gather faith power?" "Yes!"

Yan Chenglong laughed and said, "If I take this first-order Sea God Token and go to a place without faith, I can tell everyone that as long as they believe in the Sea God, the Sea God will respond to their requests and help them. For example, during a drought, the Sea God can send rain, and when they are sick, the Sea God can give them medicine to cure their illnesses."

“When these people discover that they can truly benefit from believing in the sea god and genuinely believe in the sea god, I will use this sea god token to make many idols for worship. Each idol is associated with the sea god token. When a believer sincerely worships the idol, the power of faith will be generated and ultimately stored in this sea god token through the idol.”

“I can use the power of faith in the Sea God’s Token to cultivate, but as my strength gradually increases, the power of faith will become insufficient. So I will try to apply for a second-tier Sea God’s Token. The second-tier Sea God’s Token can be linked to more worship statues, covering a wider area, covering more believers, and collecting more power of faith.”

"To advance to a higher level of the Sea God's Token, you must pay a certain amount of faith power to the Sea God Cult. Moreover, after advancing, you must pay a certain amount of faith power for a certain period of time, just like paying taxes."

Hearing this, Lin Chen finally understood the Sea God Cult's operating model; it was yet another pyramid-shaped structure.

The sea god is high above, unique, and controls a vast amount of wish power. The higher-ups below him also reap a lot of wish power, but the lower you go, the less you reap. If you want to become more powerful, you have to climb higher and higher.

Gu Yuexi said with great interest, "As long as you have the Sea God's Token, wouldn't you be able to become a god in the hearts of an unknown number of people?"

Yan Chenglong laughed and said, "Immortals can overturn rivers and seas, control clouds and rain, save the world and help people. They are omnipotent. In the eyes of mortals, aren't they gods? Besides, for mortals, whether it's an immortal, a Buddha, or a demon, as long as you can fulfill their prayers, they will naturally believe in you..."

Ziyun asked, "Wouldn't the person who possesses the Sea God's Token be very busy, having to listen to the prayers of numerous believers every day and handle them one by one?"

Yan Chenglong curled his lip and said, "How can we satisfy everyone? Immortals need the power of wishes, not to serve mortals. They'll help a few people if they're in a good mood, and ignore them if they're not. But if there are natural disasters or plagues, it's enough for them to step in and solve the problem. Mortals' lives are short, and most people just want to be well-fed, clothed, and free from illness and disaster. If they can get that, they'll feel that they've already been blessed by the immortals..."

Lin Chen laughed and asked, "Chenglong, do you believe in the Sea God Cult?"

Yan Chenglong chuckled: "I don't believe it, but I think the Path of Willpower is quite fun. I'm even planning to get a Sea God Token to play with. This thing doesn't conflict with the Path of Qi Refining..."
