Chapter 1565 The Trembling Across the Side Road
Anthony and Negris exchanged glances. Without a doubt, they were the two people in Ang's team who knew the most about the workings of the faith network. One was the spokesperson for the unified source of the Seven Forces, and the other was the 'God' of common sense.
Do people of Asian descent have a religion?
If so, their only faith must be the main star, yet Silver Coin can sense the rhythm of faith from the other party.
"Does this mean that unscrupulous merchants are its faith? What is its relationship with the main star? Does it not have a main star? Or is it a hierarchical system?" Negris asked doubtfully.
Ulsman asked, puzzled, "What is a tiered system?"
“It’s a system with one main god and multiple subordinate gods, arranged in a hierarchical manner, like the Church of Light… Oh, you’re not from the Chaos Realm, so you don’t know about the Church of Light,” Negris said.
“I know that. I already found out where you all came from. Do you and we belong to this hierarchical system as well, sir?” Ursman asked.
“Uh, no, he belongs to a multi-system, possessing a bunch of deities, each with its own subordinate gods. But we establish a soul connection with him, sharing the entire faith network. In other words, even if we are not subordinate gods in this system, we can still borrow the divine power of this deity,” Negris explained.
"A hybrid system? I see. So where do I fit into this system?" Ulsman asked.
Negris looked him over with a complicated expression and said, "Strictly speaking, you don't belong to the pantheon; you belong to the Heroic Spirits."
"What is the Heroic Spirit system?" Ulsman asked.
Negris said, “Essentially, you do not exist, but there was once a man named Ulsman, whom everyone called the Sage, and thought he was omniscient and wise beyond measure. So everyone imagined a wise man of extraordinary wisdom, and this collective imagination was captured by Ang and formed you.”
“So you are a spirit created by Ang, based on Ulsman, through collective imagination and secondary creation, and finally given the ability to think by my Book of Brass. Of course, now that you have a body and consciousness, you can think without relying on the Book of Brass,” Negris explained.
Ursman wasn't surprised by Negris's words, because he knew most of them, just not in such a systematic way. After thinking for a moment, he said, "So I'm a created Heroic Spirit, in the same system as the little angels?"
Negris blinked, then said with a hint of realization, "So, according to you, they really are part of the same system. The difference is that the little angels are God's imagination, while you are the collective imagination, so one is a heroic spirit and the other is a holy spirit."
Ulsman thought for a moment and then asked, "If Your Excellency needs it, could you create a large number of wise men based on my form?"
Negris nodded: "Yes, but it's just a prototype. Without your memories, it's at most a wise man, not you."
Ulsman glanced at Negris with some surprise and asked, "Lord Negris, are you trying to comfort me?"
Negris blushed, fearing that his words would cause Ursman to fall into self-doubt. After all, a Heroic Spirit was essentially just a spirit imagined by a group, created out of thin air, and was not the same as the 'Ursman' in his memory.
“Thank you very much, but this question is not something that can trouble my mind.” Ulsman smiled and said thank you, then continued:
"Adults can replicate memories, and theoretically they can create countless versions of me. But this is also a good thing, because it means I can live forever in the memories of adults."
Negris shrugged: "Well, it seems you have enough wisdom to resolve this confusion."
The greatest perplexity in life is "Who am I?" This perplexity is even more crucial and substantial within Ang's group, because most people are "created" by Ang.
Admittedly, they have bodies and consciousness in the dimensional space, but in essence, their consciousness is also copied into the dimensional space by Ang. Those people in the Chaos Dimension had already died when Ang fought the Red Giant Sphere.
Although Ursman is a native Heroic Spirit, Heroic Spirits are essentially created by Ang, and he will face the same confusion as these people from the Chaos Dimension.
Negris was worried that his self-perception was distorted and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't expect that the other person didn't think it was confusion at all, but that he was just overthinking it.
While Negris was discussing Heroic Spirits with Ursman, Silver Coin approached the Smurf again, saying, "What you said earlier makes a lot of sense to me. Are you trying to starve me if you don't pay me? I've never heard anything so reasonable before."
The Smurf exclaimed in delight, "You think that makes sense too, right? I knew it! There must be someone who understands me. We're all constantly draining our strength just standing here..."
“Time cost,” Silver Coin said.
"Yes, yes, time costs too. Time has costs. The time I spend, the energy I expend, the divine light I bask in—all of these have costs. And some people actually want to take information from me without paying," the Smurf said disdainfully.
"Depreciation, lifespan, wear and tear, damage—all irreversible losses must be factored into depreciation," the silver coin said.
"Depreciation? Depreciation is irreversible consumption? That makes sense. But what about power? Divine light? These can be reversed," the Smurf humbly inquired.
“These can be counted as…” The silver coin gave the other party a lesson in cost accounting.
The Smurf felt that what the silver coin said resonated with its understanding, and it regarded the silver coin as a confidant, listening very attentively, completely unaware of the 'divine light' that shimmered on the silver coin, which belonged to the belief system.
The divine light of a belief system can only be seen by those within that belief system. Anthony noticed the divine light on the silver coin and exclaimed in surprise, "It really can gather faith?"
"The divine light manifested so quickly; this Starborn's faith energy is quite strong," Heathrow remarked, leaning closer.
Heathrow was also a deity who studied mysticism, so he knew very well how much faith energy was needed for the divine light to manifest. Silver Coin had no divine power, and the divine light had manifested only because of the faith of a Starborn.
Everyone's attention was focused on the silver coins and the Smurfs. Just then, Ang suddenly put down the time-space chessboard and looked around in confusion.
Luo Mulu noticed Ang's unusual behavior and looked around in confusion. After a good ten seconds, Luo Mulu's expression changed drastically. He stared at Ang with wide eyes, unable to believe his eyes.
His and Ang's unusual behavior caught the attention of others, and Anthony quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"My body felt a tremor," said Luo Muluoer.
“Look how scared you are! What’s that trembling? Is it that strong?” Negris asked.
Lomulor ignored it and looked at Ang, asking, "What do you feel?"
“A tremor,” Ang said.
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly impressed, but not quite understanding why.
Luo Mulu said, "He felt a tremor, and a dozen seconds later, I also felt a tremor."
Anthony blinked, then gasped sharply: "I feel a tremor here, and a tremor in your main body too? A tremor that crosses the side paths?"
