However, you can get an extra point if you believe in a fictional god.

Having stable assets adds another point.

After the division into three parts, their own taxes will be reduced to a certain extent.

In addition, there are other bonus options.

When you accumulate five points, you can exchange them for a fictional breathing technique or meditation technique from the fictional church.

They even possess certain privileges, having one opportunity each month to request training from the priests and paladins of the fictional church.

The higher the score, the higher the social status.

Of course, in addition to the bonus points, there is also a deduction point mechanism.

The most obvious reason for deducting points is for committing a crime.

As long as a crime is committed, points will be deducted. If the points fall below negative, the offender will need to undergo re-education and ensure that they are reformed before they can be released from prison.

Although the whole system looks good, it actually has many loopholes in its implementation.

People with high scores are also more likely to form a new privileged class.

However, compared to the previous situation where upward mobility was almost completely blocked, the household registration points system is already an extremely advanced and civilized system.

At least this system clearly stipulates that everyone is a human being.

At the same time, there are clear rules to ensure that if a high-scoring privileged individual acts improperly, then their score will be difficult to maintain.

More detailed rules will require a long period of exploration and formulation.

Currently, under the influence of the household registration points system, the people living under these floating whales, though somewhat chaotic, are showing a unique vitality.

Xavier mingled among the group, actively trying to earn points.

After obtaining ten points, I received a game spot to enter the low-dimensional hunting ground.

According to the fictional church, this game slot was originally only available when you reached 100 points.

But now, under the fictitious church, all the people have just been bathed in the great glory of the fictitious god.

This spot was given in advance to reward those who actively contributed to the score.

If you can gain good results and improve your stats in the low-dimensional hunting grounds, you can directly join the fictional church.

Xavier appeared very excited.

that's the truth.

Previously, Nemes had infiltrated his church and investigated many secrets, which caused him a lot of trouble.

So now it's his turn.

He will infiltrate Nemes' church and steal Nemes' information.

For example, in this low-dimensional hunting ground, he pays special attention to the different people and cultures within it.

"From this, we can roughly see that the outer universe where Nemus is located most likely does not have anything like a belief in a god." Discipline lurked in Xavier's body as he pondered.

Humans cannot imagine things beyond their comprehension.

Gods existed in this world from the very beginning, and faith existed before most ordinary life forms appeared.

Therefore, they find it hard to imagine what a world without God or faith would be like.

Now they've seen the low-dimensional hunting ground.

Without gods, what kind of creativity can humans unleash, and what kind of resilience can these mortals, who are so fragile, possess?

"The key to Nemus's ability to repeatedly break through my understanding and ultimately win the divine war against me lies in the different underlying logic of this thought."

In the previous battle of the gods, the God of Discipline's performance was simply unworthy of the title of powerful god.

Let's not even mention that Naim's predictions were correct from beginning to end.

He was then forcibly dragged out of the Kingdom of God, which completely disgraced him as a god.

Then they completely forgot about the existence of the sun god and couldn't even salvage the slightest loss.

"That power to forget the existence of others is beyond my comprehension. If I want to be their enemy in the future, I must understand them and then restrain those powers."

Xavier took a deep breath and then entered the low-dimensional hunting ground once again.

This body was previously just an ordinary person, and it still needs various resources to advance normally and quickly.

"You've arrived, Xavier!" As soon as he entered the assembly area, different people gathered around to greet Xavier.

These are Xavier's companions. They are all mortals, and it is difficult for them to conquer a hunting ground by themselves like those demons. They need to cooperate more often.

Of course, many demons are now cooperating, but they are doing so more for the opportunity to ascend to higher dimensions.

"Everyone's here. Today, we'll thoroughly conquer the Thousand-Change Soul hunting ground." Xavier, as the outstanding leader, stated the purpose of their trip, boosting morale.

After Xavier and his group entered the hunting grounds, Zaza Hui and his boss also arrived and subsequently selected Thousand Transformations Soul!

Chapter 836 Morality

A Thousand-Faced Soul.

This is a very peculiar world.

People choose to worship the spirits of their ancestors.

The soul undergoes a transformation due to the protection of the ancestors.

After the soul transformation, one can obtain the corresponding power.

Depending on their ancestors, they share many virtues, and the power generated by their soul transformation is also different.

When one's own soul reaches its ultimate transformation, it can also become the soul of an ancestor, receiving offerings and incense from descendants.

This hunting ground was originally rarely visited by anyone because those who did usually didn't gain anything.

The power system of the Thousand Transformations Soul has a high upper limit, with a total of six tiers.

Awakening, Soul Condensation, Divine Communication, Harmony with Virtue, Return to One's Origin, Becoming an Ancestor.

Two ranks constitute one species; in other words, returning to the ancestral lineage and becoming an ancestor are equivalent to the golden species.

Furthermore, the golden brethren in this hunting ground do not possess any martial virtue.

If they really start fighting, his ancestors will come out.

While a family may appear to have only one Soul Transformer at the Returning to the Clan level, in reality, if something were to happen, there could be several ancestors in the ancestral hall.

Of course, the ancestral souls of the Guizong and Chengzu levels are generally only found in large families.

For some smaller families, having an ancestor at the Soul Condensation stage who can barely help their descendants awaken their powers is already considered quite remarkable.

In this situation, outsiders, who have no ancestral spirits, are regarded as evil spirits and heretics.

Once their true colors are revealed, they will be ganged up on and beaten.

In addition, most of the resources here are related to things like the soul, incense, and virtue.

Therefore, naturally no golden-type creatures would be willing to come here to hunt.

Xavier's so-called "passing through this hunting ground" certainly did not mean passing through the entire hunting ground.

It was their small area.

The strong have their way of playing, and the weak have theirs.

The area they were in was called Tree Ridge.

There is a continuous mountain range, and many people have built villages and towns around it, forming clans.

Xavier and his group only managed to gain a foothold by joining a newly established family in a small town.

According to the rules of the hunting grounds, they only need to help the family they've joined overcome their calamity to pass the level.

They will be able to obtain the corresponding opportunity to ascend to a higher dimension, thereby taking this world's specialty, 'Soul Transformation', out of the world.

Soul Transformation, this special cultivation method, is definitely a great help to those who practice meditation.

When the soul undergoes transformation, virtue takes over and can stabilize the transformation of the soul.

If used in meditation practice, it can calm the soul, accelerate the progress of practice, and greatly increase the amount of time available for meditation each day.

It can be said that after the soul transformation, possessing virtue is equivalent to having an additional talent specifically for cultivation.

“This method of cultivation is truly wondrous.” After entering, Xavier’s speech patterns also changed slightly to suit local customs.

“This Blackwater Virtue can calm the mind, enhance insight, and increase wisdom. Even without practicing meditation, one can still receive considerable blessings by following the breathing method. We must acquire it!” Xavier said to his companions.

Everyone else nodded, looking very serious.

The foundation of this world lies in our ancestors, and the foundation of our ancestors lies in their virtue.

The foundation of virtue generally begins with the Five Virtues.

The Five Virtues are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; and the Five Elements are benevolence, righteousness,

Of course, these five virtues also have many different classifications.

It is said that the virtue of water belongs to wisdom, and thus there are virtues such as white water, black water, blue water, green water, and muddy water.

"White water is lively, black water is still."

Blackwater is essentially a deep, bottomless body of water.

When transformed into virtue, it becomes tranquility and wisdom.

The Han family of Shuling is the family that possesses the virtue of Black Water.

The Thousand Transformations Soul Hunting Grounds emphasizes transformation.

Every ten years is a hurdle, every thirty years is a minor tribulation, every sixty years is a medium tribulation, every one hundred and twenty years is a major tribulation, and every two hundred and forty years is a death tribulation.

During each tribulation, the virtues of the Five Elements will circulate.

During times of great calamity, a single misstep can lead to a change of dynasty.

Under such a calamity, even a dynasty would be powerless to reverse its fate and would inevitably collapse.

This is a minor calamity that occurs only once every thirty years.

Of course, the timing of time varies from place to place, so the time is not an absolutely accurate fixed number; it may be earlier or later.

At this moment, the Han family is the center of a minor calamity in the eastern part of Shuling.

This family, Xinli, was only established twenty years ago.

During these twenty years, their growth aroused the suspicion of the Lin family next door.

The Han family is associated with the element of water, while the Lin family is associated with the element of fire.

Under the influence of calamity, the five virtues circulate, and the virtue of fire has a very high probability of flowing into the virtue of water.

Therefore, the Lin family has repeatedly attempted to assassinate people in this eastern area.

It is precisely for this reason that the Han family recruits outsiders as retainers in order to deal with the family war with the Lin family.

The term "retainer" refers to someone from a different family.

Many people have lost their ancestors, left their homes, and severed their roots due to various calamities.

Without ancestors, one cannot awaken, and without awakening, one cannot complete the soul transformation and enter the Soul Condensation stage.

It's incredibly difficult to leave behind a soul and become an ancestor based solely on one's own abilities.

As a result, some people thought of seeking refuge with other families and relying on the ancestors of others for spiritual cultivation.

Although this lowers the upper limit, it still allows one to achieve Soul Condensation.

Once the contract between the two parties is completed, they can leave their master's family and then find another place to establish their own family.

Xavier and his group are now his retainers.

"Hmph, those who lack moral character!" Xavier and his group entered again and saw an elder of the Han family.

The elder who ranked third did not give them a friendly look.

Without cultivating virtue and without the protection of one's ancestors, one can only take crooked and evil paths.

The retainers were a mixed bag, many of them petty thieves and scoundrels.
