It can be said that Earth went from being surrounded by gods to turning the tide of danger, all because the other side fought against the gods, and even the inherently evil Morgana was almost killed.
His growth took less than two years, a meteoric rise, as he threw himself into intense work.
As Shi Kongyan listened to Li Dao's growth story, he couldn't help but envy himself in this universe, envying that she had a strong arm to shield her from the wind and rain and fight side by side.
Instead of having to wait for some loser to grow up, even though that loser has grown up, thinking about his past still makes one laugh and smile bitterly.
"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious!" Shi Kongyan shook her head and chuckled, but she didn't express any dissatisfaction.
After all, I've persisted for so long and made a vow to stay with the other person for all eternity. How could I possibly waver in my resolve because of a mere comparison?
Li Dao is certainly excellent, but Ge Xiaolun is no less so; at least he has grown a lot by now…
Chapter 202 The Body of Faith, Leaves Mello! (4k)
When Kong Yan failed to connect to the information and received the message from Zhi Xin, almost a week had passed on the Merlo Heavenly Court side.
During this week, Li Dao either cultivated to accelerate the development of his remaining dantian or strolled around Tiancheng. Because he was a man and had a handsome and heroic appearance, he attracted the subtle glances of many female angels.
As for Yan absorbing and refining the power of faith, he certainly hadn't forgotten. However, to be on the safe side, the other party spent a few extra days memorizing the contents thoroughly and could recite them backwards.
On the same day, in the palace, Yan was already prepared, so he summoned Li Dao.
“I’m ready,” Yan said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Li Dao nodded: "Then let's begin."
After their brief conversation ended, the two sat down facing each other, legs tucked in.
"Remember, you must follow the instructions of the cultivation method I passed on to you. Don't refine it too quickly, otherwise it will easily cause the power of faith to surge violently, and it will be very difficult to calm it down later," Li Dao reminded him one last time.
This is the accumulation of faith in the Heavenly Court of Merlo over tens of thousands of years, not the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years on Earth. The slightest mistake could easily shatter one's spiritual consciousness.
At best, they become mentally impaired; at worst, they become paralyzed and vegetative. In metaphysical terms, they lose their three souls and seven spirits.
Li Dao didn't want anything to happen to his woman.
Hearing Li Dao's serious yet caring words, Yan felt a sweet warmth in her heart, her brows softened, and her rosy lips curved into a smile.
"Don't worry, I value my life more than you do, after all, I have a little one in my belly."
As she spoke, she touched her belly with her hand, feeling the faint life inside.
Li Dao nodded without further hesitation and then closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Yan closed his eyes and immediately activated the "Great Millstone of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang".
As the two entered a meditative state and began to practice their techniques, a millstone began to appear above each of their heads, and then solidified from the intangible.
However, Yan's millstone is completely incomparable to Li Dao's millstone, whether in terms of volume, size, or solidity.
However, directly above Li Dao's millstone, an old man with white hair sat upright with his eyes closed. Although he was thin, he faintly exuded a surging spiritual energy.
This old man is none other than Li Daoshang Qingling Baoshen!
Because he needed to help Yan absorb and refine the accumulated faith of the Heavenly Court of Merlo over tens of thousands of years, although his mental strength was powerful, he could clearly feel his limits when he helped He Xi refine the power of faith last time.
Therefore, he dared not be presumptuous and prepared to have the Shangqing Lingbao Body take charge.
Even though his spiritual power has greatly increased and his foundation is solid and strong due to the successful formation of the Shangqing Lingbao Body, he still dares not be careless in the slightest.
Boom!
After the two circulated their cultivation techniques, the world outside changed color. The sky, which was originally clear and cloudless, was covered in gold in the blink of an eye, and even the white clouds turned golden.
Keisha, who was watering the flowers in the backyard, watched as the originally vibrant flowers were covered with a layer of gold. Then she looked up at the sky and saw a vast expanse of golden yellow.
"It seems they've already begun. I wonder if tens of thousands of years of accumulated faith can create a god of faith?" Keisha said curiously, then used the sacred treasury of knowledge to reassure all the angels who were unaware of the situation.
These are extraordinary times, and we must not allow the people below to become chaotic.
Keisha was highly respected, and after she gave her order, the angels who had been curious about why the sky had turned golden all gave up the idea.
After all, Queen Keisha had spoken, so it was clear that it was related to the change in the sky's color.
As for the connection, even the higher-ranking angels knew nothing about it, let alone the lower-ranking angels.
Only Li Dao, Yan, and Keisha knew about this. The fewer people who knew about the creation of a god through faith, the better; it was a trump card.
Who would have thought that a deity would appear in a science fiction world? It completely defies logic and rules.
Under the slow guidance of spiritual power, strands of faith flowed gently like a stream into the millstone that embodied Yan's spirit.
"Hmm!" Then, the millstone, which was the same size as a normal person, slowly turned and worked, purifying the power of faith into spiritual power, and finally injecting it into her spiritual sea.
The subtle boost to mental strength gave one a very comfortable feeling, and one's cheeks immediately became slightly flushed, causing one to let out a soft moan of pleasure.
Li Dao's millstone, which almost covered the ceiling, remained still, allowing the flowing, delicate power of faith, like a babbling brook and as fine as silk, to pass through it.
Following Li Dao's instructions, Yan did not draw upon a large amount of faith power, but instead slowly and gently refined it like lukewarm water.
As if sensing that the power of faith was not likely to riot, Li Dao first opened his eyes to confirm, then withdrew his mental millstone and Shangqing Lingbao body into his mental sea, and finally looked at Yan, who was less than a foot away from him.
At this moment, the other person's cheeks were rosy, clearly due to the improvement in mental strength and the expansion of their mental sea.
Li Dao got out of bed and sat on the sofa, brewing and drinking tea while silently observing Yan's changing expressions. If anything happened, he would immediately speak up to guide her.
Before this, Li Dao had passed on two cultivation techniques to Yan, and the other technique was specifically created for those who could not refine the remaining power of faith.
This is also an attempt to create a god through faith. However, to be on the safe side, Li Dao does not intend to let Yan try it personally, but instead uses the power of faith to create an avatar.
This clone possesses the ability to absorb faith power. As long as it absorbs enough faith power, its strength will increase according to the amount of faith power it absorbs, and the theory of "Faith Body" has no upper limit.
Of course, the current "Faith Body" is in its initial stage, and Li Dao needs to continue to fill in the theoretical gaps until the technique is completely perfected, otherwise there will be some hidden dangers and risks.
After two hours of refining, Yan Shuhuan's brows finally furrowed, his relaxed expression instantly tightening, as if he were enduring some kind of pain.
Indeed, he was enduring pain, because in Li Dao's eyes, the millstone above Yan's head was now illusory, but it was still refining and processing the flowing faith power.
"No need to continue refining. Your spiritual sea has reached its limit. Now, circulate another cultivation technique to condense the power of faith into an avatar of yours."
Li Dao's words reached Yan's ears, and the latter understood, immediately stopping the operation of the "Great Millstone of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang" and starting the operation of the "Faith Body".
Afterwards, the mental millstone above Yan's head disappeared, but the power of faith did not dissipate; instead, it surged into her body.
hum!
The moment the power of faith surged into her body, Yan's delicate body trembled slightly. Guided by the cultivation technique "Faith Body," the power of faith gradually gathered together, and her furrowed brows and tense expression slowly relaxed.
"You can speed up your absorption now. With the fifth-generation divine body as a foundation, as long as the power of faith does not exceed the threshold, you should be able to withstand it."
"If you can't withstand it, guide the power of faith within your body to the outside, and then create an avatar in one fell swoop."
Li Dao believed that after refining the power of faith into spiritual power, Yan's control over spiritual power had decreased, but she should still have a general grasp of it.
And the faith power that surges into the other person's body, after being guided by the cultivation technique, will definitely be imprinted with a unique spiritual mark.
This makes it extremely easy to control, and it won't go berserk because it's outside the body, so there's no need to worry about the other person being in any danger.
Yan focused intently on circulating his cultivation technique. Upon hearing Li Dao's gentle voice again, he chose to trust him without hesitation and accelerated his absorption.
It wasn't until I felt the immense power of faith gathering within me was about to reach my physical limit that I felt I had almost done.
She then immediately drew the mass of faith power within her body to the outside, while that same faith power continued to flow into her, like several great rivers rushing into the sea.
And so, under Li Dao's gaze, the mass of faith grew larger and larger, its brilliant radiance becoming increasingly intense, and it began to vaguely take on the shape of a human body.
First the head, then the torso and limbs, and finally the wings...
"Now, spare a wisp of your divine consciousness to reside within the body of faith," Li Dao said.
Upon hearing this, Yan began to operate according to the instructions of the technique. First, he used the spiritual blade to separate a wisp of divine consciousness. Then, he controlled this wisp of divine consciousness to float out of the sea of consciousness and enter the brow of the faith body sitting in front of him.
Finally, this wisp of divine consciousness settled in the warm, golden ocean, and the body of faith completely became Yan's external avatar.
Because these powers of faith had already been processed by Yan, all the impurities on them had been completely removed, leaving only pure powers of faith. Otherwise, her wisp of divine consciousness would probably have been immediately corrupted and assimilated as soon as it entered the body of faith.
Swish!
As the wisp of divine consciousness successfully settled in, Yan opened her eyes instantly, and two beams of brilliant light shot out from her golden eyes, overflowing with divine brilliance.
Clearly, after refining a significant amount of faith power, Yan's spiritual strength increased dramatically, resulting in her eyes shining with divine light.
True essence manifests!
Of course, "essence" here refers to spirit.
Bang! The burst of divine light was aimed directly at the body of faith, but halfway there, a slender hand swept across and crushed the two spiritual manifestations of divine light.
The body of faith also opened its eyes, and then its gleaming golden eyes met Yan's bright golden eyes.
"Is this my faith body?" Yan looked closely at his faith body in front of him. Its surface was covered with a layer of soft, non-glaring light.
She looked nine-tenths like her, with strands of golden hair radiating a soft glow cascading down her shoulders, and many strands also falling at her temples. She wore a thin gauze dress, and a pair of golden wings were strapped to her back.
She looked like an angel from mythology, full of holiness and purity!
"How are you feeling?" Li Dao walked over at this moment.
Yan: "It's quite amazing. I can see two perspectives, one is mine, and the other is the body of faith."
"You'll get used to it. After all, it's your avatar, and it can serve as your second life," Li Dao said, examining Yan's body of faith.
Faithful Being looked at Li Dao with curiosity in its eyes.
Although under Yan's absolute control, due to the split of his consciousness, even though he possessed some memories, he still showed a clear sense of bewilderment in his actions.
It may take quite some time to recover.
Yan nodded, watching as the body of faith continued to absorb the power of faith. Instead of immediately taking it into his own body, he allowed it to continue absorbing the power of faith to increase its strength.
This point is mentioned in the content of the exercise.
[WARNING! WARNING! Your permissions are being granted. Do you wish to allow access?]
Just then, a reminder from the Sacred Knowledge Treasury suddenly rang in Yan's mind, momentarily startling her, but she still refused, saying, "Refuse to open! Refuse to access!"
Is my access being restricted?
She is now the Heavenly Blade King. Apart from Queen Keisha, A-Zhui, and Mo Yi, who else has the authority to access her Heavenly Blade King privileges?
However, a message from Zhixin quickly brought her back to her senses.
"Me in a parallel universe?" Yan looked at the message sent by Zhixin and was clearly shocked by it.
Li Dao, who was standing next to Yan, clearly sensed the change in Yan's mood, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
