Chapter 1070 - 628: A New Attempt to Collect Faith_2
But now, how did he end up being captured by sailors and turned into a slave?
Was it the same in the previous life?
Or is it the butterfly effect brought about by his appearance?
Originally for Lis, the Suo Luo Fishman in Treasure Pearl Sea weren’t a place worth paying attention to.
With Kane Floating City present, those Suo Luo Fishmen didn’t dare to harass Danerluo Port, and under the guidance of the Church of the Gods, the Fishman Clan rarely attacked the Human Clan’s merchant ships.
In other words, the affairs of the Fishman Clan held little significance for Lis.
However, the Black Cat opened another perspective for Lis.
As a Magic Intelligent Life that once followed the Legendary Arcanist Sphinx, Black Cat was well aware of the Ascension Technique possessed by Lis.
Knowing that Lis, in the process of mastering the Ascension Technique, required a large amount of Power of Faith.
The Black Cat didn’t know that Lis had already mastered Chaos Faith Convergence, at least not in a hurry to collect Power of Faith, but this indeed opened the door to a new era for Lis.
In fact, as the Lord of Kane Floating City and a World Tree Favored, Lis’s every move is being watched by numerous powerful forces.
Once Lis starts cultivating followers, spreading faith, he will undoubtedly draw the attention of those extraordinary forces.
After all, spreading faith within a territory is convenient, but the resulting impact simply cannot be hidden.
But in other places, it’s different!
Originally, Lis planned to seek out a hidden place within the Otherworldly Space after the main storyline 3.0 starts, to attempt establishing his own faith system.
But now, experimenting within the Fishman Clan is also a possibility.
In fact, although the Human Clan individually may have relatively weak strength, Human Clan followers offer far more potent and pure Power of Faith to the All Gods compared to Elves, Beastmen, and other extraordinary races.
Additionally, due to the Human Clan’s stronger reproductive capacity, their overall strength increases rapidly.
This is one reason the Human Clan All Gods is the most dominant in the Pantheon, securing the most seats.
Comparatively, the Fishman Clan possesses a relatively lower intelligence, offering Power of Faith inferior not only to humans but even to Beastmen.
Thus, apart from Divine Beings whose domain is related to the ocean, few extraordinary forces closely monitor the Fishman Clan’s movements.
This provides Lis with an opportunity to experiment.
After all, Lis’s objective isn’t merely to amass more Power of Faith, but rather to attempt structuring his own follower system.
Moreover, upon realizing this point, Lis developed a new idea, causing slight excitement.
Generally, when followers pray to the divine they worship, the special spiritual energy generated by their spirit and soul is Power of Faith.
However, for a Divine Being to acquire this Power of Faith from followers, the Power of Faith must be directed towards that specific deity.
Like during the nurturing process of Power of Faith, the Power of Faith automatically bears the divine mark, allowing the deity to guide and collect this Power of Faith.
This is why deities have fixed divine names, divine positions, and prayer phrases.
Such generated Power of Faith may contain more "impurities," but it facilitates deity absorption and promotes the progress of mastering Divine Position from another aspect.
However, at this moment, Lis doesn’t need such assistance.
After all, as an Arcanist with the help of Ascension Technique, Power of Faith is merely kindling material for Lis like igniting a campfire.
All are merely firewood, with no need to specify a Divine Position, while Lis, possessing Chaos Faith Convergence specialty, could bypass the requirement of a divine name to gather Power of Faith through other means.
In other words, Lis could entirely construct an identity unrelated to himself to collect faith.
Furthermore, with Lis’s All-Purpose Talent, the new identity he constructs can be entirely unconnected to his current exhibited ability.
At least openly, no one would easily discover Lis’s flaws.
But this is something Lis has never attempted before, experimenting within a territory or kingdom is still too hazardous.
Within the Fishman Clan, Lis has no reservations!
And now, Berion Pearl appearing at Danerluo Port is the perfect entry point for Lis.
After all, Lis is yet to understand the internal circumstances within the Suo Luo Fishman Clan.
But from previously gathered intel, it seems some chaos erupted internally in the Suo Luo Fishman Clan, resulting in even a royal member like Berion being captured by sailors.
Berion must have been severely injured before being captured; Lis casually investigated those few sailors who apprehended Berion, and even including the captain, capturing a Golden-stage Fishman from the ocean was still extremely difficult.
Power struggles?
Lis’s lips curved slightly; if this indeed is the case, the Fishman Clan’s current situation is likely considerably chaotic.
For Lis, this is indeed excellent news!
Of course, the next step is still to bring over Fishman Berion.
Lis’s gaze directed towards the crowd gathered at the docks, extending his right hand.
...
At the dock,
Hearing news of a Golden-stage Fishman Slave appearing at the dock and preparations for sale underway, more and more people flocked over.
For them, even if they couldn’t afford a Golden-stage Fishman Slave, coming over for a glimpse was worthwhile.
But at this moment, abruptly, the Fishman Slave vanished before everyone’s eyes.
Also disappearing were the captain and those few sailors.
Witnessing this scene, people exchanged puzzled looks, some with unusual expressions considering what just happened, cautiously glancing at the distant blue Sky City, then turning to leave.
Could it be that the Fishman Slave encountered trouble?
Recalling recent rumors in the taverns, their departing footsteps hastened even further.
Standing nearby, Zhao Zhao showed no sign of surprise, even displaying slight joy.
He received news from Kane Floating City.
