Chapter 1382: Chapter 462: Doubts About Faith

After all, ever since she mastered Fusion Tower technology and the magic power output basically exceeded consumption, she hadn’t worried about the scarcity of such basic resources for a long time.

But the Power of Faith is different from ordinary magic power, even for her, it is a scarce resource.

It needed to be accumulated bit by bit by the races within the territory, and with the consumption of the Red Moon Church in the Starry Sky, her stock was always high in both income and expenditure, leaving only a small amount accumulated at the end.

If it weren’t for the recent slowdown in the expansion of the Red Moon Church due to those faith hunters in the Starry Sky, and a month’s worth of accumulated Power of Faith production, she wouldn’t have been able to support this experiment.

Even though she had mastered the way to create Artificial Faith Power, one of the raw materials for that power

—those Spiritual Power Crystals also needed to be extracted from the races within the territory in a way similar to the Power of Faith, and the efficiency was not high.

Compared to the normal Power of Faith, it only opened up a new revenue stream.

Plus, this production had just been popularized, so there wasn’t much accumulation at all.

This experiment truly consumed nearly 1/5 of her faith storage, how could she not feel distressed?

"Forget it, this is all a necessary sacrifice, just a bit of early investment..."

Bai Yi tried to comfort herself.

Moreover, she now had a way to utilize those faith impurities, and the faith of ordinary humans could gradually be opened up for use.

In the future, as long as the battlefield in the Starry Sky is opened up, and with the large population in the Starry Sky, her faith income can greatly expand, now it’s just a bit of early investment.

"At least this time it proved the effectiveness of this Divine Descent form.

Since this current Divine Descent form created by my faith is so powerful, not to mention those customized Divine Descent forms!

But then again, ever since I ascended to the 8th Rank, I gained the method of using faith, do the other 8th Ranks also have this ability?"

Bai Yi suddenly thought of a previously overlooked question and was lost in thought, what was originally a whim of wonder turned her expression more and more serious.

If it’s true that all 8th Ranks can master this ability...

Then the Starry Sky...

Then her judgment might be seriously flawed...

"Think positively, the Transcendents in the Starry Sky don’t have the panel like our Paradise, they can’t precisely know what abilities they’ll gain after ascending.

Moreover, the Starry Sky has always avoided the Faith System, they shouldn’t actively explore the related abilities. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Even if someone accidentally discovers it, they’d probably study it privately and definitely not make it public...

Otherwise, the current Starry Sky wouldn’t be so strict with faith regulation."

Bai Yi found a possibility, but couldn’t eliminate the worry in her heart.

After all, she couldn’t deny another possibility, that this Power of Faith accessible to 8th Ranks actually belongs to a public secret among many powerhouses in the Starry Sky.

And the pursuit against the Faith System is just their attempt to cover themselves, or even seize faith.

Previously, she had always assumed that the Three Great Civilizations of the Starry Sky wanted to eliminate faith merely for stability, never considering the possibility of their involvement with faith.

She really never tried to find related evidence, even if she wanted to verify it now, she had no way to do so.

"It’s not completely without options...

Currently, the only connection between the Three Great Civilizations and the Church on the surface is that group of the Business Alliance that believes in [Order].

And I just happen to have channels to contact them, perhaps I can start from this aspect to get in touch with the Three Great Civilizations...

Moreover, if my speculation is true, the Three Great Civilizations definitely know about it too.

If I reveal to the Three Great Civilizations that I’ve ascended to the 8th Rank, and vaguely reveal that I obtained related information from Paradise, I might gain the Three Great Civilizations’ favor and be informed of related information...

Both paths can be attempted, but I must be careful, now ready to take action but cannot expose myself at this point.

Yes, and there, maybe another possibility..."

Bai Yi pondered the ways to find answers and suddenly remembered another possible clue.

Before she devoted her energy to completing the last few ecospheres needed for superpower advancement, she had an unresolved case in the Starry Sky.

It was shortly after she harvested the Life Planet Lilith, when the Red Moon Church in the Starry Sky had missionaries mysteriously intercepted and killed.

She used those cards as her trump card, attempting to counterattack a squad, and accidentally discovered the new organization replacing the Martial Cultivation Association—the Faith Hunters.

And also through captures, she found out that the high-level figures within this organization were powerhouses who had fallen and disappeared hundreds to thousands of years ago.

To explore the origins of these powerhouses, she even sent the Undead to investigate, but unfortunately, there still hasn’t been any specific report.

And with this discovery at the time, there was a special detection device.

That special device could detect a special power emitted by the soul to sense the target’s existence and confirm the target’s general rank.

She developed this technology through a witch, turning it into her own tech.

Among them, the core of the device, that special energy, is extremely similar to the Power of Faith.

And this device also originated from an 8th Rank who survived to this day.

She once simply considered it an ancient special technology, but now having obtained related information, she can’t help but be suspicious.
