Chapter 1721: Chapter 547: Stealing Divine Power (6k)_2
If it’s really due to this abnormal method of ascension, then Fei’s sudden disconnection from faith doesn’t seem so incomprehensible..."
After all, the stolen strength was not truly granted and certainly wouldn’t be as stable as a normal believer’s.
Perhaps slight changes could render this stolen strength ineffective, leading to the loss of the faith connection.
Furthermore, a believer’s ascension is not like that of a Transcendent who could rest easy after deceiving to gain power for ascension.
The gifts of a God constantly test the believer’s qualifications, and any change in faith will reflect in the granted gifts.
Breaking certain principles might lead to the loss of favor, while adhering to some could bring more gifts.
Therefore, this deceit towards a God would likely need continuous maintenance.
If seen as dead, such deceit would no longer be sustained, so suddenly losing that disguise and having the gifts stripped away is completely normal.
However, judging from the current situation, Bai Yi is more inclined to believe in the latter possibility.
And conveniently, this theory can soon be confirmed.
Bai Yi glanced at the two [Creator] believers who were already undergoing transformation; neither had shown signs of losing faith yet.
If transformation inherently caused instability, one should have long experienced an accident and lost strength by now.
The continued presence of faith strength means the deceptive disguise is still in place.
"That’s right, if my guess is correct, this deceptive disguise is likely controlled by that Favored, and that’s probably why there aren’t many Seventh Rank ascensions...
Last time, Fei encountered an accident so quickly, likely because of their unique status, causing the information of their fall to reach that Favored faster, leading to the removal of the corresponding disguise.
No wonder among so many transformed believers, only "Fei" this [Creator] believer encountered an accident.
Whereas those normal "Truth Society" believers wouldn’t face such issues...
After all, normal believers don’t engage in deception or disguise, just as the God said, normal transformation doesn’t lead to such effects!"
Having figured out the troubling issue, Bai Yi felt a sense of relief.
Of course, to fully confirm, one has to wait for the two believers to truly lose favor.
Currently, the two believers haven’t lost their faith connection, meaning the corresponding "deception disguise" hasn’t completely vanished.
According to current conjecture, their disguise is in the hands of that Favored, and only when the news of these believers’ "fall" reaches that Favored will the deceptive disguise be voluntarily removed for nurturing new believers.
If lucky, the corresponding information will soon reach that Favored.
But if unlucky, one might have to wait until the war ends.
Anyway, the frontline doesn’t need her temporarily, so she can afford to wait a little longer.
If those high-tier Powerhouses have already recovered and must return to the frontline, they can be temporarily entrusted to other Avatars.
Meanwhile, during the wait, Bai Yi shifted her gaze aside, looking at the remaining two [Holy] believers.
These temporarily breakthrough believers are not only from the [Creator] Church, similar believers exist in other churches, too.
"Speaking of which, in Fei’s memory earlier, those ascended believers were all from the [Creator] Church?
It seems different churches do bestow power separately..."
Bai Yi retrieved Fei’s memory from the network and soon got confirmation from Fei’s perspective.
However, the [Creator] Church uses a similar method of theft, so how do other churches achieve it?
That is a Divine Art unique to [Creator] believers...
If there’s doubt, why not just ask directly!
Pondering, she looked up at the remaining two [Holy] believers who haven’t undergone transformation and stared at the one who temporarily broke through the Seventh Rank.
Forcibly linking with the other’s mind through Telekinesis, Bai Yi asked:
"Do you still remember how you ascended to the Seventh Rank?"
But soon, Bai Yi once again saw the same expression Fei had earlier, with a similar outcome after a moment of confusion.
It was as if memory and thought had been affected, leading to an unclear explanation.
"As expected, since [Creator] Church believers have their Minds influenced by a similar Divine Art, if other churches use the same method to steal strength, they must have a similar method as insurance.
Otherwise, if the specific process of this ascension method were leaked, it would surely lead to the faith collapse of many believers."
Luckily, although the expressions of a few believers were influenced by Divine Art, the Spiritual Link captured the corresponding memory fragments during their recollection.
They were almost identical to Fei’s earlier memory, with only slight differences in detail.
Each church’s Favored presided over a ceremony, but also present was a [Creator] church Favored who shouldn’t have been there.
Seeing this, Bai Yi showed an expression of realization.
"This [Holy] Favored likely serves as an Anchor Point, perhaps just a mascot.
Whereas the [Creator] Favored is the true protagonist, responsible for stealing strength and casting Mind Divine Technique.
This suggests that the [Creator] Favored controls the channel through which all churches receive the Power of Faith.
