Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Magic power, true energy, and faith power are just names to put it bluntly. In essence, they are just two words: energy!

Zhou Xu didn't expect that he would have such "extra income".

But at the same time, he also had to say that the faith that the people gathered together was indeed a little weak.

Although there are many light spots, when they fall on you, it is like a drop of water falling into the ocean. They really don't have much presence.

But after all, it was free "extra income", so Zhou Xu didn't mean to dislike it.

Think about it from another perspective. If the people of the whole country can provide him with faith every day, then as the population of their Great Zhou continues to increase, the faith he obtains will definitely become more and more considerable.

Of course, before that, he had to figure out how this power of faith came about.

Right now, within the confines of the Anglican Cathedral, every believer who comes to attend the worship ceremony is generating power of faith for themselves.

[Is it because of faith or something like that? Or is it loyalty? ]

Here, he obviously couldn't see anything. In the process, he discovered that he still had a large amount of silk threads on him that came from other areas outside the Anglican Cathedral.

However, this time, Zhou Xu did not choose to fly directly along the silk thread. Instead, he took the initiative to control his soul body to fly out of the State Religious Cathedral, then increased his flying altitude and arrived above Black Moon City.

During this process, with himself as the center, Zhou Xu quickly found a place where the silk threads were gathered.

[Where is Deyue Tower? ]

The thought flashed through his mind and Zhou Xu flew over quickly.

As soon as I flew into the building, I heard the voice of Wang Pengfei telling a story.

Zhou Xu listened and quickly confirmed that what they were talking about was the previous expedition.

During this period, everyone in the restaurant, including Wang Pengfei, the storyteller, was continuously producing faith.

Zhou Xu did not stay for long. He later ran to several areas where the output of faith power was obviously thin.

After making a simple comparison between those who were producing faith power and those who were not producing faith power, Zhou Xu had a rough idea in his mind.

[Simply put, the key to generating faith is that they have to read me or think of me! ]

[For example, church worship and storytelling in restaurants are a form of worship. Through worship ceremonies and storytelling, people develop a sense of respect for me, and thus develop a belief in me.]

[For example, the workers in the cafeteria think of my kindness while eating and thank me for allowing them to live a peaceful life with enough food and warm clothes. This gratitude can also generate faith.]

[On the other hand, if the workers are just busy working and don’t talk about me or think about me, then they won’t have faith.]

[In addition, this faith power should have requirements for loyalty. ]

When he was comparing various examples before, he found a group of people at a construction site. They also talked about themselves. Everyone else was generating faith, except one person.

And this person was actually responding with words like "Praise the Emperor", but he did not produce any power of faith.

To this end, Zhou Xu directly opened the "Eye of Secrets" and scanned the panels of that group of people.

If you have to say what is the difference between that person and others, the biggest difference is loyalty.

The loyalty of other people ranged from a minimum of 72 points to a maximum of 87 points, while that person's loyalty was only 68 points.

According to the loyalty levels he had previously divided himself, 60 points was the passing line, 70 points was a good citizen, and 80 points was a loyal minister.

Under this premise, you can simply understand that the people whose loyalty is in the qualified range of 60 to 69 points will not cause trouble, but they are not loyal to you either. If the enemy occupies this place, they can also be honest and serve as the people on the opposite side.

To put it bluntly, he is a fence-sitter, leaning towards whichever way the wind blows.

But this is not a rare thing. After all, we cannot expect every citizen to be loyal to us. This is essentially unrealistic.

At this point, Zhou Xu had a general understanding of the mechanism of faith power.

On this basis, the size of the coverage area becomes very important.

This did not require too much effort. Zhou Xu continued to increase his flying altitude, allowing the city below to shrink rapidly in his field of vision. Then he looked around to confirm where the silk threads on his body came from, the farthest one.

[This one is from Prairie City...]

It only takes three hours to ride from Prairie City to Black Moon City on horseback, so the coverage is within expectations.

Apart from the densely populated Black Moon City, which is the center, the other cities don’t have many people at all. Within the coverage area, large tracts of land are not inhabited at all. There are even large areas that are simply uninhabitable, such as Qingshui Lake...

Currently, the areas with the highest and most concentrated populations are still Xinnan District and Xinbei District.

Considering the efficiency of absorbing the power of faith, he should move back to the imperial palace in Xianyang City.

However, Zhou Xu has no such plan for the time being.

It would be nice to have some 'extra income', but he had no intention of moving the capital for this.

Think about it from another angle. The vast land and sparse population mean that there is a lot of room for development. In the next few years, he can increase the population and develop the city around Black Moon City.

Once this side develops, this "extra income" will naturally follow.

In addition, Zhou Xu did not believe that this range was fixed.

In the future, as our own strength continues to improve, this range will most likely continue to expand.

As of now, the main influencing factor is probably related to the strength of one's own soul body.

From this point of view, it is imperative to enhance the strength of the soul body.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu had no plan to stay outside any longer, and quickly controlled his soul and returned to his physical body.

Then he sat cross-legged at the bottom of the lake again, and could not wait to control his soul body to meditate.

At that moment, as if pulled by an invisible suction force, the water in the lake was quickly moved up, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding lake surface formed a visible vortex with the soul body as the center!

The soul body sat in the center of the vortex, continuously absorbing the incoming lake water into its body!
