Alien world

Chapter 1594 Chapter 228. Crossing the Stage
Annan has many qualities that the Skeleton King admires, and now there is one more advantage that makes it admire him.

Not many people could remain calm when facing godhood. Even if there were, they would be legends who knew the secrets of the gods, and definitely not a lord who was just 20 years old.

Sometimes he is like a seasoned and cunning politician, and sometimes he is as pure as an elf just emerging from the jungle. This contradiction in Annan is fascinating.

Annan didn't know that the Skeleton King had a better impression of him, and was still thinking about the gods: "So, most of the gods chose to take them all?"

Skeleton King nodded. "They will use the first one to extract the power of faith, and then use the second one to establish their own creed."

"What a good god in Allen's world..."

Annan sneered, smelling a familiar smell of decay.

But it is not to say that they have committed such heinous crimes. After all, to a certain extent, they did help those in need, but their purpose was not pure. Just like the famous saying: The secret gift that fate gives you has already been marked with a price.

I can only say that interests never change...

"I have one more question... one last question really."

Annan raised a finger: "What is the source of the power of faith?"

The Skeleton King's expression was full of undisguised approval: "Although you are a warlock, you are more curious than many wizards."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"The power of faith comes from the faith of believers. The more loyal the believers are, the more power of faith they generate. This seems to be a power triggered by the soul, but wizards have conducted experiments and found that controlling and hypnotizing a group of people cannot gain faith. Therefore, in addition to the soul, it is also related to will and emotions."

"Some schools of thought in Wilhelm believe it has something to do with the Warp, but I guess... it may have something to do with human nature."

The Skeleton King's guess is not groundless: the body and the soul have been the origins that have been unanimously recognized over the past tens of thousands of years.

A few years ago, the discovery of "human nature" changed the mainstream cognition from the original origin to three origins, namely soul, body, and human nature.

However, a small number of scholars do not agree: because there is no means to observe human nature, and even the gods cannot detect its existence, the so-called "human nature" is only a part of the "soul", just like memory and blood to the body, and cannot be regarded as the origin.

They are not wrong. The mages who inherited the knowledge of wizards and arcanists can be said to be a group of gluttons who only know how to acquire knowledge, or they can be said to be arrogant people who only believe in magic. Their knowledge is all based on magic.

Now tell them that there is an origin that cannot be detected by magic. The reason why they are not accused of heresy is because of the reputation of the Skeleton King.

Skeleton King could understand that if it weren't for the invasion of the other world and the chaos in Strange City, the mystery of human nature would still remain buried.

Interestingly, after discovering humanity, many Legends, Demigods, and Skeleton King contacted them, wanting to confirm whether humanity existed.

You know, the God of Life and the God of Death are among the most powerful gods, and one of them controls life, and the other controls the soul. Now that there is a third origin, maybe they have a chance to obtain a priesthood and become the "Lord of Humanity"...

In short, Skeleton King, the discoverer of "human nature", speculated that since human nature cannot be observed and the source of the power of faith remains unsolved, can it be considered that the power of faith is the power transformed from human nature?

There is a theory of probability in mathematics.

The world of Allen has flourished to this day, giving birth to many great races and civilizations. It has invaded and communicated with countless worlds, but only one new "human nature" has been discovered in tens of thousands of years. The probability that the power of faith comes from human nature is much higher than that there is a fourth origin besides the soul, body, and human nature.

Divinity, humanity...it sounds like there is some kind of connection between them.

Annan couldn't help but think of the ratmen. The ratmen had very little humanity and no power of faith. I'm afraid the faith produced by ten thousand ratmen would not be as much as the faith of one human. This is why the ratmen, although strong, could not defeat the main race supported by the gods.

But it was just a guess, because the souls of the ratmen were also a mess. The soul quality of the elite rats was even worse than that of the mentally retarded humans, and it was not enough to explain the connection between human nature and the power of faith. "It's a pity that there is no way to quantify their connection."

It's a pity that the Skeleton King finally found something worth investing his energy in his long life, but had to come to an abrupt end.

Unless it leaves Allen's world - it is not enough to go to another world, it must go to a dying world with strange things, such as the opposite side of the portal of Strange City.

"Actually...it can be experimented." Annan hesitated.

"Oh?"

The Skeleton King's soul fire suddenly became brighter.

Annan pointed outside the window, where the Other World Tree was.

"You should know that I have been secretly purchasing death row prisoners, right?"

The Skeleton King nodded, knowing even more - it didn't mean to pry, but for the Legends, few things could be hidden from them.

"The death row prisoners were all 'fed' to the Other World Tree, so I think it would be very simple to test whether there is a connection. All we need to do is find some death row prisoners, half of them are believers and half are not, and then let the Other World Tree 'eat' them as a control..."

Annan would not admit that it was Griffin who gave him the idea.

The door that was thought to be closed suddenly opened a crack, making the Skeleton King happy, even his soul fire was trembling.

"Thank you, Annan." It thanked very solemnly.

"You're too polite. Friends should help each other." Annan waved his hand, as if it was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

After introducing the Skeleton King to Dade, Annan became the hands-off boss.

Even if the relationship between the power of faith and human nature is determined, it is just the beginning of a new world. If you want to turn theory into results, a hundred years is considered fast to have some harvest. For Annan, it is like planting a tree and preparing to harvest the fruit in the future.

You can look up at the starry sky and imagine yourself as an eternal life wandering in the universe, but when the sun rises, you still have to get up and have breakfast.

After waiting for a day, the materials for the soul enhancement potion were finally collected. Annan personally delivered them to the Skeleton King's alchemy room and watched eagerly as he refined three bottles for himself first.

Rushing back to the tree in the other world, Annan slapped away the princess's hand that was stretched out to drink, drank it all in one gulp, and fell into the foggy space.

"great……"

"The mother of wealth..."

"Contractual..."

A chaotic and complete prayer voice flooded into Annan's mind. After listening for a while, he randomly chose a hoarse female voice that had just sounded.

The other prayers faded away, only the hoarse voice suddenly became clear:
"Queen of darkness, weaver of conspiracy... Please use the juice of your venom glands to soak my ambitions, make my lies as hard to break free as a spider web, make my betrayal as slow and fatal as spider venom, and light a firefly for me in the maze of power and conspiracy..."

Annan was stunned. This... this is not right?
Is this still the Fortune Lady Channel?
