Chapter 474 Familiar formula, familiar name

"Total faith value of the entire region: 1150 million."

“Volatility within a 340-year cycle: %.”

"The race with the highest faith contribution rate: mortals."

"Conceptual Awakening: 2."

The corresponding information quickly emerged from the World Tree Overview, helping Zhou Xiao to better grasp the overall situation.

In just a few short years, the total faith value generated in the entire Yggdrasil world has reached 11.5 million points, and the volatility continues to rise.

The race that contributes the most to faith is still the mixed-race human race represented by mortals.

The conceptual consciousness awakening responsible for calculating the number of new gods born also completed the first wave of statistics. It was in the development of this column that Zhou Xiao learned the names of the two new gods.

The "Emperor" who resides in Vanaheim, the residence of the gods, and the "Buddha" who was born in Helheim, the kingdom of the dead.

Although these two are from completely different places and have very different environments and situations, they were born almost at the same time. This shows how fast the power of faith in the universe fluctuates.

"Odin originally just wanted to use the Universal War of the Gods to help himself gain more faith, but the emergence of the War of the Gods also indirectly accelerated the emergence of other gods of faith. It seems that this is a double-edged sword." Zhou Xiao commented secretly while observing quietly.

In times of peace, the emergence of faith must be slow and gentle. Only in turbulent times when war is rampant will faith emerge in the most intense way.

Odin secretly manipulated the Kingdom of Giants to invade the universe. His original intention was just to raise the value of his own status as the Cross God King through war, but the turmoil in the worlds objectively accelerated the formation of native beliefs in some marginal worlds.

In the face of despair on the verge of collapse, blind faith in seeking medical treatment from all sources is not uncommon.

Zhou Xiao turned his attention to the two earliest religious lives. Unlike Odin, the King of the Cross, and Victoria, the goddess of fertility, who were mixed gods that spanned the old and new principles of nature, "Emperor" and "Buddha" were original new gods born from faith and were completely pure conceptual life forms.

They have no divinity and cannot exercise the authority of God from the old heavenly principles, but on the contrary, they are conceptual life forms in the true sense, have no entity and cannot appear on the side of the material world.

Because they were born from the void, their view of the void is completely different from that of material life, just like the difference between how fish and humans view water.

When they need to influence the material world, they can create an avatar through faith, or directly choose their own spokesperson in the real world through energy infusion.

No matter which method is used, it will not affect its essence. Even if the incarnation is destroyed in the material world, its original body in the void will not suffer any substantial damage.

This is the strongest characteristic of the new gods. Life and death, which are crucial to material life, are just a wonderful game to them. They can make a comeback at any time if they lose. They are truly immortal.

Zhou Xiao used the star map function of the World Tree Overview to take a closer look at the two first born lives of faith.

"Emperor" was born in the border galaxy of the Vanir Divine Kingdom, which is one of the most marginal areas in the entire Vanaheim.

At this time, the invasion of the cold wave has caused the Vanir to retreat step by step, and their protection of major galaxies has begun to weaken or even disappear.

In the border galaxies where the "Emperor" was born, due to the departure of the original gods, a large number of half-elven civilizations began to talk about the end of the world, believing that they had committed crimes and that the gods were leaving them and letting them suffer the punishment of heaven. In this doomsday talk, the image of the "Emperor" naturally emerged within the civilization.

They believed that the half-elf, half-human race had committed original sin of their bloodline, and the only way to be redeemed was to follow the Emperor in Heaven and confess their sins, exchange their piety for the Emperor's redemption and forgiveness, and stay away from divine punishment.

This idea of ​​self-inflicted punishment was soon recognized by a large number of half-elf and half-human races in the border galaxies, and quickly became a trend that spread across the stars, eventually leading to the emergence of the "Emperor" and becoming the first awakened conceptual life in the void.

On the other hand, the "Buddha" that emerged from the kingdom of death had a completely different birth process.

"Buddha" was born in the realm of Helheim, the land of the dead. It is a cold world where the sun and moon are not seen all year round. The planets are only connected by the nine rivers of the underworld. In addition, the primordial spring Hvergelmir, which soaks the roots of the world, also flows through here.

All souls who died from other realms - including the Norse gods - will be summoned here by the power of death. Except for Odin's Valhalla, which can retain the souls of those who died heroically in battle, all the dead cannot leave here.

Since the outbreak of the Universal War of the Gods, the number of dead souls pouring into Helheim has increased dramatically, and they continue to enter these cold planets along the nine rivers of the underworld.

Out of fear of death, these tragically dead souls gradually formed a trend of thought that defied death in Helheim, longing for some ultimate liberation that could transcend death.

In the past, Helheim was ruled by the authority of "Death", and no matter how much millions of souls desired, they could never disobey the power of God's authority.

But now, times have changed quietly, and the situation is very different.

The arrival of the new law of nature, coupled with the fact that the power of "death" had long been broken due to the incident of Tyin and was still in an incomplete state, allowed an embryo lurking outside Helheim to take advantage of the situation and seize this much-desired opportunity.

It wandered in the vast and cold realm of Helheim, and finally found the old tree covered with cocoons, and selected one of the dead souls on the tree.

That is the old willow tree of Hela, the goddess of death. All the cocoons on the tree are her treasured special "guests", such as Balder, the god of light, Hoder, the god of darkness, and Joseph before him.

And the one it chose this time was none other than Hoder, the god of blindness and darkness, the son of Odin who had killed his brother with his own hands.

Hoder is the twin brother of Balder, the god of light. He is a famous parricide. It is said that he killed his brother with mistletoe at the instigation of Loki, the god of trickery. He was later killed by Vali, the child of Odin and the giantess Linda. The souls of both of them eventually went to the kingdom of the dead and have been collected by Hela to this day.

It caused great turmoil inside the Kingdom of the Dead, releasing all the souls imprisoned by Hela on the old willow tree.

The soul of Balder, the god of light, took the opportunity to escape from Helheim and disappeared, while the soul of Hoder, the god of darkness, was chosen by it, and a large amount of faith power was poured into it to make him the first enlightened one, traveling all over the world for its faith.

The name "Buddha" was quietly born in the cold kingdom of death.

It promises all the dead souls that it will transcend death and create a paradise called Nirvana, where all souls will enjoy eternal peace and no longer have to endure the pain of life and death.

Under Hodel's recitation, the name of "Buddha" soon received a response from all the dead, and began to be fed back to other realms through various undead magics, and became known to mortals in other realms who studied undead magic.

Then came the unusual movement that Zhou Xiao observed. The concept of death was expanding, and more souls were being recruited to Helheim. However, the authority of "death" was being broken, and the goddess of death Hela was also losing her power.

More concepts that could explain death were taken away by the new life, and His divinity level fell to the edge of level 6, while "Buddha" completed the breakthrough from 0 to 1 and reached a faith level of about level 3.
