Main text Chapter 64: Incense and Thoughts
Stars twinkle, divine power shuttles.
The body of the deity swells faintly, but he has experienced a surge in divine power before, and has experience. With a change of mind, the core talisman rotates rapidly, and the speed of converting divine power increases suddenly, and soon the essence of the people's wishes is completed.
For a time, the divine power is full, the light is overflowing, and the entire mural space is bright, and it takes a long time to calm down.
"The divine power accumulated this time is too amazing. Even if temples and ancestral halls are built in the future, sacrifices are formed, and believers worship them day by day, month by month, and year by year, it is far less than the harvest of this time."
Feeling the fluctuation of divine power in the body, the deity can't help but marvel.
The worship of new gods often takes a long time to take shape, and after several generations, it becomes a habit, and as time goes by, it becomes a part of culture and tradition.
In this process, time is often calculated in decades.
The original deity is the City God Wenpan, who can absorb the wishes of the people by relying on the City God, but he has an additional duty of managing the stove fire, which is unprecedented in the past. If he wants to truly support the duty, he needs enough people's wishes and establish connections with the believers. The god pays attention and his name stays forever, and gradually releases the mysteries contained in the duty.
But everything is difficult at the beginning. Since he returned to his position, many days have passed. Although there are ghost messengers in the city who spread his name in dreams, they only stay at the level of knowing. Few people really worship and sacrifice. The accumulation of divine power mainly depends on the sharing of profits from the gods, and the growth is not rapid.
However, the situation has changed now. The scholar's clone's porridge distribution has somehow attracted a large number of people's wishes. The thoughts gathered and were transmitted through the central black hole, directly integrated into the original deity, making his divine power soar!
"The growth of divine power is secondary. The key is to see a way to quickly accumulate divine power. If it is operated well, the achievements of other gods in a hundred years, I can probably achieve in just a few years with the help of the scholar's clone!"
In this way, the value of the clone is highlighted.
This clone was originally used by him to escape from the temple to end nearly eighty years of loneliness, but occupying the body and inheriting the cause and effect, there are all kinds of things later. In order to fulfill the promise to the predecessor and to explore the customs and practices of this world, the scholar's clone began to practice.
It can be said that before this, although the original body and the clone were connected, more often it was the original body's divine power that played a role. However, after experiencing such an incident, the clone fed back to the original body, which gave Qiu Yan inspiration and let him find a shortcut.
The two bodies help each other and prosper together!
Carefully feeling the changes in the divine power in the body, you can sense vague and weak consciousness in the divine power star.
The people's wishes are transformed into divine power, and the thoughts inside will also be integrated into the divine power star.
Those who send out thoughts are all believers.
Through the connection of thoughts, the consciousness of believers can be felt.
Wherever believers are, God's eyes are looking, and the law can also extend. As long as God's attention is focused, he can perceive the scenes and sounds around believers.
"Those who kill chickens and cattle and set up altars for sacrifice are believers, and those who are grateful and pray for well-being are also believers, but the latter's thoughts of offering sacrifices to gods are mostly temporary and do not last long."
He remembered what Huang Jue, the land of the south city, said when he came over yesterday-
Pious believers who never forget the gods all year round are what the gods need most. Such people have pure and transparent minds, can provide people with thoughts of wishes for a long time, and are easy to attract the attention of gods. They can bless within the scope of their law, thereby showing their spirits, expanding their influence, and spreading the name of gods.
Recalling his understanding and understanding of Shinto during this period, Qiu Yan sighed and sighed.
"If one person spreads the word, ten people will know it, and ten people will know it. If the god's position and name can be integrated into the life and tradition of a group or a country, become part of the culture, and permeate into all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, then others don't need to remember and worship them deliberately, and they can still get the incense and people's wishes, and it is more secure. This is the path that the gods pursue."
Becoming a god, obtaining a position, and understanding the mysteries of heaven, earth and human hearts is like a fish swimming in the water, comfortable and happy, but you also need divine power and supernatural powers, otherwise everything is a mirage.
Only when someone worships and the incense is prosperous can the divine power be boundless and the position be perfect, so as to show the spirit and gain more believers, and the name of the god is far-reaching and immortal.
Qiu Yan himself also has a pursuit. His current goal is to become a real kitchen god and integrate into the lives of the people. Holding the kitchen fire is only the first step. It will take a long time to succeed.
But now, there is a new choice.
"The vague consciousness connected to me at this moment is all grateful for the kindness and good deeds of the scholar's clone, but it is only temporary. After a long time, the clone has not been able to establish a reputation and will be forgotten sooner or later. This mysterious connection will be interrupted, and the growth of divine power will become a tree without roots and water without a source, which cannot last long."
The thoughts turned, and the consciousness connection scattered in the divine power stars suddenly became much clearer, but it still did not satisfy him.
"The consciousness is too vague and not strong, but my divine position is the sixth grade, and the changes in divine power are not complicated. With the help of these vague consciousnesses, the mind is pulled together, which should be of great help."
After returning to the position for a while, the original body's understanding and research of divine power has become more and more in-depth, and many mysteries have been slowly revealed, including how to use the incense and thoughts of believers.
The most formal way for people to worship gods is to light a stick of incense to worship gods and pray in their hearts and mouths. At this time, people's thoughts will be placed on gods, and the two will naturally be connected.
Thoughts are originally transformed from thinking. When they are condensed to a certain degree, they are combined with emotions and consciousness, and they are souls. They are not illusory.
The gods have received the incense and wishes of believers, and have also established a weak connection with the believers. They can integrate the thoughts and thoughts entrusted to the incense into the divine power. If there are thousands or tens of thousands of people worshiping, a small amount will become a large amount, and the thoughts and thoughts will be gathered together, which can even help the gods calculate, think and analyze.
This kind of thoughts and thoughts integrated into the divine power are called "incense thoughts". This is the name that Yuanning City God told Qiu Yan after he discovered it.
"The reason why the divine power can control existence and non-existence, has all kinds of magical powers, and then derives the magic position may have a certain relationship with the incense thoughts in the divine power. Otherwise, when I used the stove god's flame to refine the sheep demon blood pill, I would not have consumed nearly 80% of the incense thoughts."
Qiu Yan's divine power flame contains strange power, which is transformed by divine power, but in order to exert this strange power, it has to consume the incense thoughts.
Incense thoughts come from believers who worship and identify with the gods. The original believers are rare, and the incense thoughts are not many. Previously, they were used to try to analyze the changes in the nature of divine power.
After refining the blood pill, the incense thoughts were almost at the bottom. Unexpectedly, there were so many wishes from the people now. Although it was temporary, the connection of consciousness was real. The thoughts formed by aggregation were huge, which made the incense thoughts surge like divine power. The perception of the changes in divine power immediately deepened a lot.
By comprehending the changes in divine power, the original discovered the incense thoughts in the divine power, and after gathering a large number of incense thoughts, he could in turn increase his research and exploration of divine power. This is a cycle, repeating over and over again.
"I was canonized as a sixth-grade god, but the core talisman has not changed, which is equivalent to a castle in the air. The promotion of the god position is in the hands of others. But if you understand the nature of the divine power, you can follow the clues, understand the law, the domain, and guide the incense and thoughts at will, reconstruct the core talisman, and improve the god position! Even... change the god position and name by yourself!"
Now Qiu Yan has a new understanding and understanding of the meaning of natural gods. He knows the deep meaning and has become alert. He realizes the hidden crisis. Any system, whether mortal or immortal, can hardly tolerate subordinates who are not under control.
"So we have to follow the steps, at least on the surface. However, just giving porridge has aroused the people's wishes. If the clone can be famous all over the world and respected by the people in the future, how huge will the incense and people's wishes gathered? How deep will the transformed divine power and incense thoughts be? How much help will it be for me to understand the origin of divine power? So, time is still important..."
The original deity thought, gradually became silent, and seized the time to comprehend.
On the other side, the scholar's clone also finished distributing porridge, and after asking around, he understood why there was a sudden surge of huge public wishes.
"It turned out that the government opened the warehouse, and the hungry people and the people thought that the government was under pressure from my distributing porridge. There were rumors that I was the middleman to facilitate the disaster relief. I accidentally made the hungry people and the people grateful, and I gained a certain reputation. The public wishes of most of the city gathered together, which was so strong and surging!"
PS: Thank you for the reward again from brother "Kneel down for me"!
