Chapter 287: Praise My God!
Faced with Kong's refusal, the fanatics initially found it hard to comprehend.
Did Kong not overthrow Xue Ye's tyranny for the sake of his followers?
However, after hearing Kong's words, they suddenly realized the truth!
Their faith, instead of waning, grew even stronger and more unwavering.
Indeed, this deity did not need offerings from believers, yet "selflessly" saved those who had "fallen."
This was redemption, a beacon of light in the darkness.
Should such a deity not be worshipped?
After all, even a common dog in Mondstadt could say: "May the God of Wind, Barbatos..."
At this moment, the fanatics were even more convinced that what they had seen before was correct.
"Praise my god, you are the god who wields lightning, the God of Thunder, you are the god who brings justice, the God of Justice, you are the god who brings fairness, the God of Judgment!"
As if instinctively, the fanatics closed their eyes and began a "rudimentary" ritual.
"We shall perpetuate the deeds of our god, for all eternity, unchanging!"
"To praise our god, to sing hymns for our god, to..."
Listening to the praises and songs of the crowd, Kong's expression changed.
Was this an unintended consequence?
But he truly did not need the power of faith!
However, what about this fervent belief?
If believers were to be categorized by their level of faith, these people before him were at least fanatics, and might even give birth to saints!
As the power of faith began to gather, Kong was somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
In his two lifetimes, this was the first time he had received the power of faith. Although the amount was not much, it was very pure.
After a moment of thought, Kong casually waved his hand at the former fanatics, and specks of starlight-like faith began to drift towards them. In a short while, these people's bodies actually began to emit a faint glow.
The crowd: "????"
"Truly worthy of our god!"
"Just by praising our god, I feel my internal injuries have healed!"
"I feel the same, this is the blessing of our god!"
Kong: "..."
It was merely returning the faith to them.
Qian Rongxue, She Long, and Ci Xue, who were nearby, felt a bit heartbroken. This was pure faith power!
What made them feel even more embarrassed was what happened next!
"Our god is merciful, not wanting us to be bound."
"Why don't we build a Thunder God Temple to share our god's worries and eliminate all injustices and oppression..."
Upon hearing this, Kong glanced at the speaker thoughtfully. He was quite eloquent. If there were more people like him, the Douluo Continent might have already undergone a revolution.
"We are willing to follow and realize the world our god envisions!"
"????"
As the words fell, in an instant, it seemed as if countless purple lights streaked across the sky, like meteors falling from the heavens. Amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, these purple beams of light landed on their hands.
Exactly three thousand six hundred, not one more, not one less.
Kong was somewhat shocked. These Eyes of God were indeed arranged by him, but not distributed by him. They were issued by the modified Douluo consciousness.
The way to obtain the Eye of God is simple in one sense, but also quite difficult.
When a wish reaches its peak and is noticed by a god...
That is to say, the wishes of these three thousand six hundred "fanatics" just now had reached their peak, which the consciousness of the Douluo Continent could still detect.
Their wish was to help Kong fulfill his wish!
It sounds a bit absurd, but it is indeed the case.
Helping others fulfill their wishes is also a kind of wish, isn't it?
These people, the weakest among them, are all Soul Elders, and the strongest have reached the level of Soul Douluo.
After the Eyes of God fell into their hands, a strange sensation arose within them.
They felt as if they had been "enhanced"!
There were still many powers they were unaware of, which they needed time to explore and uncover.
"Our god has acknowledged us!"
The crowd rejoiced!
The appearance of the Eyes of God indicated that Kong had recognized them, how could they not be delighted?
"Once again, we praise our god..."
Kong was bewildered; these believers were just too fanatical!
It was true that he had acknowledged them, as he had set the parameters.
Currently, only the Thunder Element Eyes of God were available, but he might add Eyes of God with other elements in the future.
After a few hours had passed, these believers finally left the imperial palace, traveling together towards the outskirts of Tiandou City.
They planned to find a hilltop to construct the Thunder God Temple.
On Kong's side, he was still somewhat dazed; these fanatical believers were simply unstoppable!
He had said there was no need for faith, yet they were fighting for his dream...
"Kong, congratulations on gaining so many followers," said Qian Rongxue.
Upon hearing her voice, Kong's lips twitched slightly as he snapped back to reality.
"Xue'er, first, let's clean up the palace. With Xue Ye dead and the support of those ministers and the Royal Knight Legion, your throne should be secure," he said.
"Why don't you unify the Douluo Continent yourself and then change it?" she asked, puzzled. With Kong's current strength, unifying the Douluo Continent should be an easy task, right?
Hearing this, Kong smiled and said, "Change can't be accomplished in an instant. Although I could kill all the disobedient nobles, the mindset of the common people still needs to be changed by themselves."
"Our job is just to give them a chance."
"Besides, isn't this also your dream? Let you do the changing and let me see how my Xue'er will reform."
"Oh, my dear empress."
Seeing Kong still the same as before, Qian Rongxue felt relieved in her heart. Even if this man had become the supreme being, he had not changed.
"Alright, I'd like to hear your opinion."
"By the way, uncles, you two take care of the matters in the palace first. I need to talk with Kong about our future plans," she said to She Long and Ci Xue, then looked at Kong again.
"Sure, miss!"
She Long and Ci Xue exchanged glances. They suddenly realized that this was not about handling affairs at all. It was obvious that their miss wanted to... cough, cough.
"Xue'er, is this plan of yours proper?"
"Don't worry!"
Seeing Qian Rongxue's serious expression, Kong finally walked out of the palace with her.
What about Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who came to support?
When Ning Fengzhi and his group were about to enter the city, they were intercepted by a purple figure.
This was also the reason why, despite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect being not far from Tiandou City, they had been supporting for half a day but still hadn't shown up...
