Douluo: The Holy Spirit Master, Twelve Talismans Chaos the Continent

Chapter 61 High-level Faith

……

"However, at least from your purpose, there is not much conflict between us." Nan Feng said inexplicably.

"???"

Qian Renxue was confused.

You've done so much with the Elders' Hall, and there's still no conflict?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"Don't look at me like that. You are not young anymore. Don't be so superficial when looking at things. You should see the essence through the phenomenon." Nan Feng said.

"You want to revive the faith in the Angel God so that this deity becomes more powerful, right?"

Qian Renxue nodded.

Unifying the continent is just a byproduct. They only need faith. As for standing above millions of people, the Qian families with the inheritance of gods are already standing on the top of the continent. They just watch the secular dynasties that replaced each other for thousands of years and the countless tribal wars, and have no interest in interfering.

Because they are descendants of God, they are six-winged holy angels soaring in the sky, they are born to be admired by everyone and do not need to do those unnecessary things.

Status is based on power, and their power from the angelic gods is unshakable, and so is their status.

"Then what kind of belief do you want?" Nan Feng asked.

"What do you mean?" Qian Renxue asked puzzledly.

Nan Feng paused, "What do you think faith is?"

"Like an angel god, when faced with a problem, he doesn't care about anything else, just bends his knees, bangs his head on the ground, and comes up with a request, please help me."

“Is this what you call faith?”

Qian Renxue's eyes twitched, "Can you be more careful with your mouth?"

"Okay." Nan Feng nodded.

"But why the hell should I hold it in?"

"You're the one asking me, not me begging you to listen. Even if I point my finger at your nose and call you an idiot, you have to hold it in. You asked for this."

Qian Renxue's face darkened, "Then I won't listen, okay?"

"What are you dreaming about!" Nan Feng looked at him as if he was a fool.

"I finally got this opportunity to curse, and you want me to shut up before I've even finished? Do you think that's possible?"

"I can listen to it!"

"Faith refers to an individual or group's firm adherence to religion, philosophy, values, or beliefs. It can be a devout belief in God, supernatural powers, or moral principles. The object of faith can be a concrete existence or an abstract concept."

"The angel god belief you guys have is the lowest kind."

Lowest level?

Qian Renxue's face darkened, "Don't force me."

"Isn't it?" Nan Feng said.

"What's the point of your belief in angels? What kind of idiots are those who believe in angels?"

"When you encounter a problem, your knees go weak, your eyes turn red, you slam your head to the ground, and all you say is cry for your parents. The quality of you believers is really fucking low!"

Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment, "Then what else could faith be?"

Wasn't the belief in the Angel God born out of the fact that people of her time subconsciously thought of relying on her when faced with the rampage of evil soul masters?
"Low-end beliefs remain at the material level. Believers derived from this kind of belief only know how to ask for more when they encounter problems. You should understand the principle of "a little help is a favor, a big help is resentful". You should understand it, right?" Nan Feng said.

"If he wants it and you give it to him, then he trusts you. If he wants it and you don't give it to him or help him, he will sell it to you."

"This is what you call faith? Believe in your mother's head?"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and looked at Nan Feng, "What about the high-end beliefs?"

Nan Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip. "High-end beliefs can satisfy people's inner spiritual and emotional needs. They can give people a sense of security when they are helpless, and provide inner guidance and support when they are confused."

"..."

"Gone?"

"That's all." Qian Renxue's eyes twitched slightly, "It's just pure deception, right?"

There is nothing practical, so why just go with the abstract?

"Fool?" Nan Feng raised his eyebrows.

"First of all, this is not called fooling people. Secondly, do you think it's easy to fool people?"

"Physical shackles can be broken with strength, but what about mental shackles?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to get someone who has been kneeling for a long time to actually stand up?"

"You can pull him up from the ground, you can cut off his whip, but you can't eradicate the slavery in his bones."

"Moreover, slavery is contagious. If we leave just one person behind, it will spread rapidly like an infectious disease if we are not careful."

"..."

"Don't understand?" Nan Feng looked at Qian Renxue who looked a little confused.

"Then let me tell you a story that is easy to understand."

"There is a small mountain village with a big landlord. He owns all the land here, and other people living here can only borrow land from him to farm. Most of the wealth from farming has to be handed over to the landlord. The landlord does not need to do anything. He only needs to watch the people working below him, and he can have no worries about food and clothing. He is also high and mighty. In fact, everyone has to thank the landlord for lending them the land."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, "Is this landlord very strong?"

“Maybe he’s very strong, just like soul masters to ordinary people, but this kind of strength is not insurmountable. As long as we have enough determination and use our lives, we can still kill this landlord.” Nan Feng said.

"That……"

"Listen to me!"

"..."

"One day, a group of people came and told the local farmers that they didn't need to give all the wealth they had earned through hard work to the landlord who did nothing. They should overthrow him and take the land into their own hands. Without the landlord, they could live a better life."

"The farmers who heard this idea for the first time stood up excitedly, picked up their hoes, and followed the group of outsiders to drive away the landlords. Although many people died in the process, everyone was very happy. Afterwards, they briefly lived a relatively prosperous life."

"But the good times didn't last long. A natural disaster struck one year and destroyed most people's crops. Only a few people's crops survived. In order to fill their stomachs when there was no harvest, everyone chose to mortgage their land to people with extra food in exchange for more food."

"Some people discovered this and thought, if only their own land had a harvest and others had no harvest, in order to fill their stomachs, then others would have to use their own land in the same way again to exchange for more food."

"People with this idea started to sabotage others' crops at night, leaving only their own..."

"Are those people idiots? They can't see the problem with this kind of thing?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but interrupt.

"I can see it, but what can they do?" Nan Feng said.

"Were we to destroy the crops of the man who caused the destruction as well? What would they eat then? Would they all starve to death together?"

"That……"

"Listen to me!"

"..."

"Some people discovered this problem, and they banded together to find the saboteurs and asked them why they did this. The answer they got was that they could get more land. Naturally, the others were very angry. They thought that he would do such a shameless thing just to take away everyone's land."

"Those people wanted to report him, but the troublemaker proposed a way of cooperation. He could give them enough food for free, and when others came to him to exchange land for food, he could share some of the newly acquired land with everyone."

"Everyone agreed, and we really got more land."

"So, the next year, those who got more land started sabotage, forcing others to exchange their land for life-saving food."

"Over and over again, gradually, the land was only in the hands of a few people. In order to get more land, those people started conflicts, using their own food to bribe those who had no food to eat, so that they would fight for their own land."

"After one conflict after another, the land of this small mountain village finally fell into the hands of one person. Then, this person started his life as a landlord again. He didn't need to do anything but rent out his land and let others work while he enjoyed the fruits of their labor."

"Until one day, another group of people came."

"..."
