In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 170 The Power of Faith

"That's right."

Wang Zhao nodded, glanced at the two gods of time and space above, and then began to express his thoughts.

"As far as I know, human soul masters seem to be able to obtain a reward called 'divinely bestowed soul ring' during the process of divine trial inheritance."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King looked at Wang Zhao, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

Based on Wang Zhao's earlier reaction to her and the appearance of the Time and Space Gods, she had deduced that Wang Zhao had not yet come into contact with the Divine Trial Inheritance. If that was the case, the fact that Wang Zhao knew so much about the Divine Trial Rewards meant that the God of Space had not lied to her. Although she did not know whether Wang Zhao was a Time Spirit born from the River of Time like the God of Time, it was undeniable that Wang Zhao had once wandered on the River of Time.

He is knowledgeable about the past, present, and future, and about many worldly affairs. What kind of being is he?

The Silver Dragon King couldn't help but be curious.

Then Wang Zhao continued, "I think that the divinely bestowed soul ring is a product created by the gods through the combination of divine power and the rules of the Douluo world, which is used to break through the bottleneck. The essence of divine power is also a kind of energy, but its quality is much higher than that of ordinary soul beast energy. In addition, the attributes of divine power cannot be simply fixed, so any soul master can obtain a high-quality soul ring that is almost perfectly matched to himself."

"My idea is that if we can build a huge energy circulation system on the continent, and then combine the energy in it with the method of artificial inner core, we can achieve the effect of replacing the soul ring."

"However, this kind of energy will not appear out of thin air. To achieve extraordinary effects, extraordinary methods must be used. Otherwise, breaking the age-old rule of mutual internal consumption between humans and soul beasts in the Douluo world is not so easy."

"Therefore, I finally came up with a power that could connect the lower planes with the divine realm—"

"The power of faith!"

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King's eyes widened slightly, as if he had suddenly sensed something, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and murmur softly.

"This thing... how come I didn't think of it..."

Then, she looked at Wang Zhao and asked in a questioning tone:

Could you elaborate?

"certainly."

Wang Zhao nodded.

"As far as I know, long ago, there were human soul masters whose cultivation reached the pinnacle of the world and who became gods by collecting faith. The most prominent examples from modern times are the Sea God and the Angel God."

"However, generating the power of faith is not difficult, but how to collect and use it is a big problem, not to mention using it to build a breakthrough system that can completely replace the soul beast soul ring. I'm afraid only a true god can do it."

"That's why, although I've had this idea for a long time, I've never tried it."

"I can help you!"

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King immediately understood Wang Zhao's meaning, and then said with a serious expression.

"This matter concerns the future of my soul beast race, and I should do my part for it. You can tell me how you need my help."

"If your ingenious idea really comes to fruition, I will forgive and forget about the spirit beast and spirit ring you possess, and I am willing to form a strong alliance with you..."

Of course, there are actually two more important points that the Silver Dragon King didn't mention.

Firstly, in her view, Wang Zhao might not necessarily join the ranks of the gods in the divine realm in the future, and might even become their enemy. In addition, with the two space-time gods behind Wang Zhao whose methods are infinitely close to the level of god-kings, as well as his own infinite potential, she felt it was necessary for the soul beast camp to win over a powerful future god.

Secondly, she suddenly realized that the power of faith might have a decent restorative effect on her injuries, which was very important, and she was willing to give it a try.

"This matter is easy to say, but there are many things to consider in doing it. The methods of collecting and using the power of faith are just the basics. In addition, we also need to consider the objects of faith, and so on."

Wang Zhao then continued.

"As for promotion, as long as these are done well, the rest can be left to the Spirit Hall. Only the Spirit Hall on the entire continent has the qualifications to do so."

"Um……"

The Silver Dragon King nodded slightly.

The two then talked for a long time, and finally, the Silver Dragon King, who inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, entrusted Wang Zhao with some personal treasures in the name of the Lord of Soul Beasts. These treasures included, but were not limited to, real treasures and ancient manuals, which contained various kinds of energy and faith power.

Afterwards, the Silver Dragon King's pair of star-like purple eyes gazed at Wang Zhao and suddenly said:

"Can you release your martial spirit now so I can have a look?"

"You're still thinking about Jin Lin, huh...?"

Wang Zhao paused, thinking that the Time and Space Gods, who had remained silent but still supported him, were still there, and given the Silver Dragon King's current attitude towards him, he was not worried for the time being about her suddenly doing something naughty and releasing the golden scales.

As soon as Jinlin appeared, still immersed in the powerful boost brought by the 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python Soul Ring, it wanted to let out a joyful roar. However, as if it suddenly remembered something, it instantly prostrated itself on the ground, its ferocious dragon head facing the Silver Dragon King with terror, and then looked at Wang Zhao.

Those pitiful little eyes seemed to be saying: There's such a terrifying real dragon king here, why did you let me out, master?!

Wang Zhao: "..."

The Silver Dragon King examined the golden scales with interest for a moment, then seemed to discover something, his expression relaxed slightly, and he looked at Wang Zhao.

"It has great potential; nurture it well."

As she spoke, she suddenly changed the subject.

"But what I want to know is, what exactly does it mean to you?"

Wang Zhao pondered for a moment.

"Perhaps it's an avatar? A younger brother? Or perhaps a companion or a pet? In any case, the golden scales haven't deviated from the essence of a martial soul; they share the same origin as me."

The Silver Dragon King nodded. Perhaps she had noticed something, for she was no longer so interested in the golden scales, and simply said:

"You haven't absorbed a soul bone yet, have you? If you continue to cultivate in this way, the energy in your body is very likely to conflict with it if you absorb a soul bone in the future, not to mention that you also have to inherit the divine power of those two gods."

"How should this be resolved?"

Wang Zhao realized that the Silver Dragon King wanted to give him some pointers, so he humbly asked for his guidance.

After all, humans have their limits. He couldn't possess the powerful light energy assimilation properties of Jin Lin. His best idea was to collect a set of dragon soul beast soul bones, but some of Elder Yi's previous suggestions and the appearance of the two time-space gods made him hesitate.

If only the golden scales could absorb soul bones on their own...

Wang Zhao often thought of it.

In that case, it would be equivalent to him having twelve soul bone positions, which means twelve opportunities for direct and significant improvement, thus better supporting his all-round development.
