311. Conjoint Dao, the Venerable’s Advancement Method!
Hearing Mr. Bai's question, Fang Ze couldn't help but froze for a moment.
In fact, he came into contact with the power of faith very early. As early as when he was in Emerald City, he knew and collected the power of faith.
After all, even the late-night investigation room requires the power of faith to upgrade. This inherently shows that the power of faith should be one of the most powerful forces in the world.
After arriving outside the territory and learning more information about demigods, Fang Ze also learned more about the power of faith.
For example, the power of faith is actually the source of demigod power.
The main composition of divine power is actually no different from the power of law. In other words, it is originally a manifestation of the promotion of the power of law. And this method of promotion requires the power of faith.
Eliminating some complicated processes, divine power can be said to be generated by the power of faith mixed with the power of law. This also shows how important and powerful the power of faith is.
Therefore, after hearing Mr. Bai's question, Fang Ze couldn't help but nodded, and then said, "Yes. I know the role of the power of faith."
After hearing this, Mr. Bai said slowly,
"The power of faith is actually a kind of original power generated by other living beings' belief in and respect for extraordinary beings."
"In other words, the power of faith is actually the influence of extraordinary beings on other beings."
He clasped his hands behind his back and continued walking while explaining, "And what I said just now: The supreme leader has to establish virtue, the second is to perform meritorious service, and the third is to establish words. Even if it lasts for a long time, this is called immortality. Translated from this ancient sentence
In fact, it is: if you want to be immortal, the best way is to establish the standard of 'virtue', the second is to establish immortal achievements, and the third is to leave behind indelible articles."
"Look at these three methods, they are manifestations of their long-term impact on living beings."
"So, I make a bold guess that although the way to become a true god is difficult to achieve, it is actually very simple."
"That is... to reach the peak of your influence in this world. Let all living beings in the real world believe in you, and believe from the bottom of your heart that you are the only person who can end reincarnation and lead the world to the future."
"As long as all the creatures in the world unite as one and concentrate all the power of faith on one person, he can achieve immortality."
Hearing Mr. Bai's words, Fang Ze's eyes widened for a moment.
This angle was indeed something he had never thought of before, and was even completely opposite to what he had guessed before.
He had always thought that true gods should be promoted to the same level as ascending to the sky and the ultimate realm, relying on hard power. But now according to Mr. Bai's inference, the promotion method of true gods is actually more similar to that of demigods.
This novel perspective also made him start to think about this possibility.
After a moment, he raised his head and asked curiously, "Although such conditions are indeed very difficult, after so many reincarnations in the world, isn't there ever a world that has given birth to the kind of person who can convince all living beings around the world?"
Mr. Bai really answered Fang Ze's question clearly this time. He stopped, looked at Fang Ze, and said seriously, "Yes. And quite a few. You must have seen or heard of it outside the territory."
After hearing what Mr. Bai said, Fang Ze had a question mark:??
I must have seen or heard of it? There are many outside the region?
His eyes widened and his mind raced.
For a moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Your Majesty?!"
Mr. Bai nodded, and then said with a serious face, "That's right. That's the Venerable."
He looked at Fang Ze, and then said with a somewhat nostalgic look, "Actually... the demigods outside the territory are not all militants. Ever since we humans first came into contact with the outside world, there have actually been some demigods.
God maintains friendly relations with us privately."
"Although they are not many in number, they are very powerful. There are also three venerables among them."
"They provided us with a lot of intelligence and information about extraterritorial and demigods. This prevented us from being completely defeated when we first faced extraterritorial attacks."
"After stabilizing the situation later, we also learned a lot of secrets from them." Among them was the information about His Holiness."
Speaking of this, Mr. Bai paused and said, "Your Majesty, you are actually a demigod, but a very special demigod."
"They are often only born in large-scale reincarnation worlds, that is, reincarnation worlds with more than 3 billion main races and more than ten million awakened people."
"And they are often the most talented, powerful, and lucky people in the world. This also leads to the fact that although they are the ultimate demigods, their achievements during the Realm War are particularly dazzling and outstanding.
"
"So, gradually, the creatures in their world will gather their hopes on them. Until they have experienced war after war and created great achievements, they will naturally be promoted to become venerable."
After hearing what Mr. Bai said, Fang Ze couldn't help but said thoughtfully, "Among the three immortals, meritorious service?"
Mr. Bai nodded, "You can say that."
He said, "It's just that...the amount of belief in creatures that these venerables received did not reach the standard, and the merits they performed were not enough to be promoted to true gods. So after the destruction of their world, they stopped using the venerable ones."
Hearing this, Fang Ze couldn't help but suddenly said, "That's why in the last conversation with me, you told me that the foreign demigods were already destined to fail!"
Seeing Mr. Bai nodding, Fang Ze drew inferences and said, "So, in fact, the alien demigods have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning. It is never about ending the world of reincarnation after becoming a true god, but only after resisting the invasion of the alien demigods.
Only those who have entered the world of reincarnation can become true gods by virtue of this great achievement!"
Mr. Bai nodded slowly and said seriously, "At least I think that's the case."
Seeing that Mr. Bai admitted it, Fang Ze couldn't help but deduce it in detail.
With the power of a supreme demigod, he was able to prevent the arrival of so many sages and demigods from outside the realm. Fang Ze felt that even for his own level, it was a difficult task to complete. This is no wonder that there were so many creatures in the world before.
Can't even finish it.
Not sure if he had seen through Fang Ze's thoughts, Mr. Bai added indifferently,
"I guess you must be thinking about how you can stop so many venerables and demigods with the power of the ultimate demigod."
Fang Ze raised his head when he heard this.
As a result, Mr. Bai slowly shook his head, "You thought wrong. It's not the ultimate demigod. It's just the ultimate realm."
"Your ancestors and family members died early, and no one may have educated you on this matter: From the moment you become a demigod, the strength of the demigods is fixed. Unless you are promoted to a venerable, you will never be able to improve again.
."
Hearing a secret again, Fang Ze's eyes almost fell down.
However, he immediately became frightened.
He really didn't know that the strength of demigods was fixed before, so he once wanted to advance to demigods as early as possible. Later, he was always worried that there was something wrong with the rank of demigods, so he kept delaying the advancement.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally hit a sinkhole and avoided a sinkhole.
Thinking like this, Fang Ze couldn't help but curiously asked, "But the ultimate realm is evenly matched with the mortal demigods. How can such strength resist so many venerables and demigods from outside the realm?"
When Mr. Bai heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."
"This is also the reason why no one has become a true god in so many worlds for so many years."
Seeing Fang Ze a little disappointed, Mr. Bai thought for a while, and then said, "But... I don't know the reason, but I have actually come up with three solutions in the past few years."
Hearing Mr. Bai's words, Fang Ze couldn't help but look up at him.
Mr. Bai said, "The first one is to use external force or collective power."
"This is what the federation is doing now."
"The Federation has actually researched and accumulated a number of good things over the years. The most powerful ones are even comparable to the Absolute Demigods."
"If these external forces are used to help stop the demigods from outside the territory, and then the credit and belief are concentrated on a certain person, then maybe... it is possible to create a true god."
When Fang Ze heard this, he felt... a bit like the path he was taking now.
And then, Mr. Bai continued, "The second one is Hedao."
"Hedao?" Hearing this somewhat familiar term, Fang Ze couldn't help but raise his head.
He remembered that this was the state that Mr. Bai was in when he killed Jialan Houde with one sword and seriously injured the Peacock God King.
After hearing about it at the time, he always thought that this was some kind of realm above demigods. But now it seems that it is not.
Mr. Bai slowly explained, "In harmony with the Tao, the body and the mind are in harmony, the mind and the heart are in harmony, and the heart and the Tao are in harmony. This is called the harmony of the Tao."
"This was originally a state at the pinnacle of martial arts. But later, through the narrations of those venerables and the federal research, we learned that this is actually a spiritual state that can be used by all high-level awakened people."
"When a person finds what is in his heart
"Under this realm, the strength of living beings will increase in different ways according to the firmness of the [Tao Heart]. And as long as the [Tao] in the heart is firm enough, even the Supreme Master Jue Bian Zhan can achieve it."
"The only problem is...after the battle, or even during the battle, you will fall like me."
Hearing this, Fang Ze's face was a little stunned, but then he felt a little strange. He couldn't help but asked, "But...how can you become a true god if you fall?"
Mr. Bai had obviously thought about this problem for a long time. He said calmly, "There is a time difference."
"The end of Hedao does not mean immediate physical death. Even if you use less power, you can survive for a few more days."
"In this case, as long as you successfully protect the real world, you can hope to become a true god before you fall."
"And since the true God is immortal and his soul is immortal, he will never fall again."
Hearing this, Fang Ze nodded suddenly. He felt that this method might really be possible.
With this in mind, he thought for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask, "What about the third way?"
When Fang Ze asked about the third method, Mr. Bai couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Actually, you know the third method."
He explained, "We just talked about the three immortals. Among the three immortals, since [making meritorious service] is too difficult to complete, is it possible to accomplish [making virtue] and [making words]?"
Seeing that Fang Ze really started to think deeply, Mr. Bai shook his head slightly, and then said,
"Don't put your mind on this. The methods and standards of [making meritorious service] are still barely traceable, but establishing moral integrity and establishing reputation are too mysterious. No one knows what level must be reached to meet the requirements."
"and...."
Speaking of this, Mr. Bai paused, "No matter which method was used just now. In fact, if you want to achieve immortality, there is an extremely difficult condition: that is the unity of belief. This is a prerequisite."
"But how can it be possible for billions of living beings to believe in one person at the same time?"
"Not to mention the infiltration of demigods from outside the region, even among us humans, the worship and belief of people in each state are actually different."
"This also makes the Federation, which has found the direction of becoming a true god, feel a headache. It is trying various ways to take back its 'faith'."
Speaking of this, Mr. Bai said with some emotion, "Why do you think we are still willing to cooperate with him when Heweidao excludes dissidents, suppresses demigods, and even plots against me and Emperor Li in the entire eastern jurisdiction?"
Mr. Bai said, "Because this is actually the federal plan."
"Back then, the Federation didn't know that the way to win the regional war was to rely on the unification of faith to create true gods. Therefore, it gave states a high degree of autonomy, and also gave demigods too much publicity and privileges."
"This leads to the fact that the influence of demigods in their own states is too great. Many people actually only know about demigods and don't know about the federation."
"These alone have divided the entire human race's beliefs into more than a hundred parts."
"Only by reversing this situation can faith be unified and the true God be born."
Hearing this, Fang Ze suddenly realized something on his face. He finally understood why He Weidao had been trying to denigrate the great achievements of Mr. Bai after his death. It turned out that the main purpose was to take back his faith and denigrate the demigods!
Although Fang Ze felt that He Weidao was still not worthy of forgiveness, he understood some of He Weidao's thoughts.
In this way, Fang Ze and Mr. Bai chatted for a whole night, one asking and the other answering.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Fang Ze was "driven" by Mr. Bai and left the Secret Realm of Time.
Fang Ze gained a lot from the exchange with Mr. Bai this night. Not only did he know the way to the true god, but he also learned how to enter and advance to the [Hedao Realm] and [Venerable Level].
It can be said that this night's exchange completely opened up Fang Ze's upward path.
This also made him bow deeply to the Waterfall of Time after he came out, and to Mr. Bai who taught him so much.
Although he has never spoken to Mr. Bai's true form, Fang Ze will never forget Mr. Bai's help and guidance to him.
At the same time, when Fang Ze was still remembering Mr. Bai by the pool.
Suddenly, the door of Time Garden was pushed open from the outside. Fang Ze turned his head and looked over, and saw Bai Zhi walking in quickly.
Coming to Fang Ze, Bai Zhi said with a serious face, "Fang Ze, something happened. I just received a notice that He Weidao issued a death order to 13 noble families, requiring that the 13 noble families must gather before the day after tomorrow.
Yunlan Prefecture, the border of Tuoye Prefecture, prepare for the decisive battle with His Holiness!"
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile, "Isn't this a coincidence?"
"I just finished chatting with the old man and was about to visit He Weidao and have a good 'exchange' with him about the past. But I didn't expect that he would come to my door by himself."
