Chapter 280: The Road to Worship
Is it normal for a person who has no faith to suddenly have a holy emblem on his body?
To be honest, it is not uncommon.

Pan-believers and non-believers still make up the majority, so how to attract believers to follow you wholeheartedly is something that every god must study.

Just talking big can only fool and incite people, you have to show them tangible benefits.

When a non-believer prays, if the non-believer meets the needs of the deity, he will be given a little blessing.

This protection is usually the ability to use some simple spells, such as "steel skin" that makes people more resistant to blows, or "brute force" that makes people stronger.

The one who does this the most is actually the magic goddess. If she likes you, she will give you a second-rate phantom of the mage's hand or something like that.

It's like giving you a piece of candy and then telling you, it's delicious, come on, believe me.

Of course, even a small blessing that is insignificant to God is not given to everyone. It usually depends on whether the person praying meets the preferences and requirements of the deity.

The current situation is slightly different.

This is a temple of the Demon King, but not of the current Demon King. The previous Demon King is completely dead, and only a tiny bit of divine power remains in his temple.

In other words, they have lost the ability to recognize things, and as long as non-believers pray, they have a chance to receive protection.

After using up the last bit of divine power, the statue could no longer bear it and collapsed.

The holy emblem that appeared on Nimia's lower back suddenly changed its appearance, proving that the original Demon King had disappeared. The new Demon King Li Chengxi took over all the legacy of the old Demon King, so the holy emblem changed.

Olde is not as keen on missionary work as Viola. She does not want to recruit believers, but to confirm that the position of the Demon God has been completely changed.

This may seem insignificant, but it is actually very important.

Creatures like God are difficult to kill, and even if they are killed, there is a high possibility that they will be resurrected.

If a new god recruits believers in the name of an old god, when divine power and faith accumulate to a certain level, the old god is likely to be resurrected from the body of the new god.

This is not a fantasy, nor is it without precedent. God exists through faith, so naturally he can also be resurrected through faith.

That is why it is said that if you want to completely eliminate a god, the best way is to destroy his existence. If no one worships him and no one knows him, the god will naturally fall.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

If you keep moving forward for several hours, even if you can hold on physically, you will lose some energy.

Orday felt that she was getting closer and closer to the Demon King's Ring. Referring to Zora's experience, it was normal for something to be sealed by a guardian.

In order to ensure that their combat effectiveness was not damaged, everyone rested in the secret room for more than an hour.

Compared to the outside world, the secret room is relatively safe. After a brief rest, everyone set out on their exploration journey again.

Go through the empty room and continue forward.

They came to the end of the corridor. Fortunately, the stairs were not blocked by the collapse. They went down the stairs again and saw an intersection with eight directions in front of them.

You can tell at a glance that it must be a maze.

Mazes are the most common settings for things like ruins or dungeons. They are effective in blocking invaders and are cheap to build. When used in conjunction with traps and guardians, the effect is multiplied.

For adventurers, walking through mazes has become a normal thing, and some even train specifically in this area.

Among the three adventurers, Nimia was the most excited. It might be related to the blessing she just received. She now felt full of strength.

But this time, it was not the adventurers' turn to perform their best tricks.

Alde fumbled around and took out the psychic crystal detector she had obtained from the Snail Shell Ship from her magic bag.

As soon as this black, soap-sized thing was taken out, it immediately made a long dripping sound.

When Oldie holds the box and turns to one of the eight intersections, the prompt tone becomes shorter.

"Go this way" "Ah? Professor, do you know how to get there?"

“I don’t know, but I’ve received some hints.”

The magic simulacrum I just met said at the end, "The Heart Stone will tell you the answer."

Psionic energy is actually spiritual energy, and psionic crystal is naturally the heart stone.

Psionic crystals are almost useless to mages, and no one would develop spells specifically to detect psionic crystal mines. In this regard, the mind-thirsty monsters can be said to be the leader.

It is no wonder that Aurora would first guide Olde to the Snail Shell Ship, the purpose was to obtain the Mind Crystal Detector.

Whenever they came to a fork in the road, they would use the mind crystal detector to see which road gave the shortest warning tone. After repeating this several times, they came to a huge stone gate.

The stone door was almost ten meters high, with the door frame against the ceiling, and the door hinges were probably stuck. It took a lot of effort for Drager to finally push it open a crack.

Behind the door was still a corridor, but it was much wider than before. Everyone also noticed that a round pit could be seen from time to time on the ground.

It doesn't look like it happened naturally, and they wouldn't have deliberately used problematic stone when paving the corridor.

Oldie squatted down and felt the size of the hole, and found that it was just enough to fit a knee.

This is the pilgrimage road. People in the mythological era who walked here would kneel down and worship the Demon God every two steps. Over time, pits were formed on the ground.

Continuing along this pilgrimage route, after walking about forty or fifty meters, everyone discovered a doorway on the wall.

There was a room of about 30 square meters, filled with tables and chairs, and there were traces of tools hanging on the walls.

Nimia checked for traps and said:

"This should be the lounge, right?"

"How do you know? You're not a believer."

"I've seen it. There is a similar setting in the Great Temple of the Lord of Dawn, which is specially used for worshippers to rest and drink water."

Perrin nodded:

"Yes, we do."

Oldie listened to the conversation between the three, but she had a different opinion.

This is not a lounge, or it used to be one, but it isn't now.

She found traces on the wall where tools had once been hung, and looked at the remaining carvings on the table. Then she turned her gaze to the ceiling above her head, where there was a huge magic circle that was almost buried in dust and almost covered the entire room.

This is the Rune Room.

To put it simply, it is a place specifically for carving runes.

Magic runes have a wide range of uses. Not only can they be used to cast spells, but they can also be used to create magic items, magic scrolls, and even potions.

But it is very strange to appear next to a pilgrimage route.

Without God's permission, arbitrarily changing the purpose of religious buildings will really be punished by God. However, from the current traces, it is impossible to determine whether the transformation here was allowed by God or someone changed it without authorization.

All we know is that judging from the number of remaining scratches, some kind of magic-related stuff was once mass-produced here.

Olday's fingers groped the table, intending to walk deeper into the room.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a heat in her chest, and the holy emblem hidden in her clothes seemed to guide her towards the deepest wall...
