Chapter 395 Personality and Faith

Nemus's attention shifted to the third possible destiny he sensed.

This divine mandate was keenly placed upon the precepts.

According to a vague feeling, choosing this destiny will gradually lead to confrontation with the God of Discipline.

It's unclear what exactly will happen, but the general future is that there's a possibility that he will replace the God of Discipline and become the new God of Discipline.

Looking at these three options, Nemus... didn't choose any of them.

Judging from the current situation, the characteristic of "destiny" itself is not powerful enough to surpass the saints, become the saints of destiny, or replace the god of discipline.

This strength actually exceeds the standard.

In other words, if the "fate" characteristic is used in this way, it will inevitably receive assistance from external destiny.

In either case, fate will be the main force.

They possess freedom, yet they are also favored by fate.

Therefore, they are bound by favor.

This is the truth behind the destiny lock.

What surprised Nems was that Fate had not blocked this information.

And it is naturally intertwined with these fate locks; as long as one understands fate, one can naturally make the corresponding judgment.

In this respect, fate is neither a shackle nor an enemy.

The other party is simply the driving force behind this world order, and its operating model prefers that Nemus join the order and then further maintain it.

However, the world is not just about order and chaos; it involves many more complex factors.

Therefore, the current approach is to use Nemus to understand destiny and use "fate" as a medium to recruit him.

With Nems having no choice among the three locks, 'Destiny' gradually stabilized under these circumstances.

Its inherent abilities are then truly unlocked.

Characteristics – 'Destiny': Possesses a special status, and can forcibly disregard the requirements of certain things and adapt in reverse. At the same time, the things and things that are needed will naturally move closer to you and establish a connection with your destiny.

Nems could sense that, in his own mind, he had determined that he needed beautiful women.

Then 'destiny' will operate swiftly, and in the following period of time, various beautiful women will gravitate towards him due to various coincidences.

Even the most hard-hearted woman will "get it" and fall in love with him for various reasons.

Of course, if Nems' self-perception changes to wanting resources, then similarly, all kinds of resources that are helpful to him will gather towards him due to fate.

"So the previous lock-in was essentially arranged by fate, it was the understanding of fate, and determining my future from the perspective of fate."

"The advantage of this method is that it has a higher perspective on fate and can accurately ensure the lower limit."

"Now that I have rejected the lock, this perception is something I can choose to make at any time."

"My understanding is naturally no match for fate, so I can't guarantee a lower limit."

"And without the direct involvement of fate, a single special characteristic is still not enough to defy destiny." Nemus carefully sensed 'fate' and then gradually compared it with 'the legendary journey'.

"Destiny" is what one desires in one's own perception, and it will gravitate towards oneself.

The "Legendary Journey" is the goal one wants to achieve. During this process, one will receive blessings, making it easier to overcome obstacles.

In terms of strength, 'Destiny' is much stronger, and its application range is also much wider than 'Legendary Journey'.

"But the premise is self-awareness." Nemus estimated that if 'Destiny' were given to someone with a chaotic mind and indecisiveness, the effect they would achieve might not be as good as 'Legendary Journey'.

It can be said that, without the direct control of fate, the upper and lower limits depend entirely on personal perception.

"The most important thing is actually in the special position." Nemus himself has other characteristics of luck, and his own luck is very good. He has the understanding of destiny to obtain external assistance, which is good if he has it, but it is also okay if he doesn't.

What caught Nemus's attention at that moment was that special position.

He closed his eyes, and his will burst forth from his true spirit, penetrating into his divine essence.

Originally, the godhood that only granted Nemus the discipline function, with other functions being somewhat passive, has now come closer.

While not entirely at his beck and call, it did, in a way, open itself up to Nemes.

With a slight perception, a piece of information entered Nemus's mind.

[Discipline and Divinity]

[Sacred Number: Nine]

[Status: Incomplete (1/5)]

【Feature List——】

[Precepts: By observing and fulfilling the precepts, one gains the potential for transformation; by breaking and abandoning the precepts, one releases the potential for transformation. (4/9 missing)]

[Divine Pool: Stores the power of change, faith, and divine power. (2/9 incomplete)]

[Divine Fortune: Influences destiny through divine authority. (1/9 incomplete)]

[Divine Power: Incomplete, equipped with Soul Part III.]

……

"Looking at it this way, it's good that I won this one-fifth!" Nemus carefully sensed the state of the divine spark.

With the active cooperation of the deities, the study of the number of deities became much easier than before.

Nemus's research into the power of faith had not been very smooth.

Now it's even clearer that faith and divine power are linked, and with this part of the function so severely incomplete, it's practically impossible to condense divine power from a divine essence.

However, if used to condense something like holy power, there is a chance.

After all, the relevant functions are only incomplete, not completely absent.

Nemus was certain that the functions of divinity were far more than this, but he had not acquired any of the related parts of those functions, which was why he could not even manifest some of them.

"The more complete it is, the harder it is for me to figure out anything."

“Starting with divine fortune and divine power is just right.”

With this in mind, Nemus began to invoke the power of two faiths: one from the fictional agreement, and the other from the stolen God of Discipline.

As Nemus mobilized, the power of faith began to undergo further purification and fusion.

Previously, soul components could be used to initially purify the power of faith. After this power of faith was purified, it has not been consumed much over the years, except for Nemus's research on divinity and his constant mobilization of it.

Of course, it wasn't a lot in itself. Nems had only been established for a little over a year. The power of faith ultimately requires the combined effect of a large number of people and years to accumulate.

At this moment, the power of faith originating from the fictional agreement was mobilized by Nemus. The power of faith accumulated over thousands of years was mobilized, condensed, overlapped, and condensed again, and soon only ten strands remained.

These ten strands of constantly condensed faith power merged once again under Nemus's control.

The power of faith may look similar, but during the process of merging, there are extremely subtle fluctuations in power that prevent merging.

"As expected, it won't work; the power of faith is still not pure enough."

Chapter 396 The Stacking Refinement Method Purifies Faith

Nems sighed.

His own understanding of the method of refining precepts enabled him to calm the distracting thoughts in his faith and transform them into similar beliefs.

But this is not enough.

Within the church, there are also many special professions, such as Discipline Paladins, that require the assistance of faith power.

Therefore, there is a natural requirement for the purity of the power of faith.

Nemus collected all the purification techniques among them and then initially created a faith purification method called the Stacking Refinement Method.

He had previously used the stacking technique to continuously melt and overlap the power of faith, constantly promoting the fusion of faith, and then exploring the points of incompatibility during the fusion process.

Then, through techniques such as point, cut, discard, and circle, the conflict points in the process of the continuous overlap of faith power are discarded.

The results were pretty good, but the losses during the process were not low.

According to Nems's estimate, if all the faith accumulated over a thousand years could be used, and only some impurities were removed, then there was a high probability that a hundred strands of pure faith power could be obtained, which could then be condensed into a holy power.

However, using the stacking method, the quantity is only one-tenth of the ideal quantity.

The ten strands of pure faith that were ultimately obtained still had points of conflict and were not pure enough.

At this point, continuing to refine them would only destroy all ten strands of faith.

“The upper limit of the stacking technique is still not enough, so much so that only this little bit of the thousand-year faith remains.” Nemus looked at the ten strands of faith power that could no longer be stacked, made a few calculations, and then put them away.

Just like folding paper, with each fold, the content it contains increases exponentially.

Although we are still some distance from refining power to the level of sainthood, at this point, these things can be considered a precious resource.

With a thought, Naimus's true spirit swiftly shifted along the rope of oath and soon returned to Jiannai's body.

He then extracted these ten strands of purified faith power from his divine essence.

Before long, ten core members of the fictitious agreement arrived in front of Nems.

Most of them are young people who are unwilling to live an ordinary life and thus joined the fictitious agreement.

Because of its daring and fighting spirit, it successfully adapted to the Berserk accessory V and eventually became a Black Stone with a value of ten.

However, since they are using the shortcut of berserk parts, it will be more difficult for them to advance to the Steel type than for others.

While it wouldn't completely block the road, it wouldn't be easy to get through either.

Nemus gathered them together this time to explore the path behind the rampage accessories.

The V-shape represents the limit of cost-effectiveness for this type of accessory.

There are many fictitious agreement members similar to the ten people currently in this group.

If they cannot break through, they will gradually be eliminated and completely crushed by those who cultivate the Sword of Fortune or use the Whale Transformation Technique.

“One by one. If you succeed this time, you will all be promoted to the Steel race,” Nemus said.

The ten men readily agreed, staring at Nems with fervor.

They got to where they are today entirely because of the opportunities given to them by Nemes.

Living within a fictitious protocol for an extended period will naturally lead one to accept the doctrines of the fictitious protocol established by Naims.

Break free from your old self and enter into a fictitious agreement with your new self.

You are the one who writes your own life story.

As long as you firmly believe in yourself, there are corresponding possibilities.

Thus, the fictional agreement is not lacking in eccentric geniuses.

After they formed the fictitious agreement, they made rapid progress across the border.

The most talented individuals have already become Iron Seeds; they only need to continue to make some contributions to become bishops of the Fictitious Protocol.

The first person walked up to Nemus, waiting for the experiment to begin.

“Entering a state of faith, your own fabricated agreements are the key to your survival,” Nemus said, while simultaneously making various preparations for the experiment.

Once the person was ready, Nemus infused a wisp of purified faith power, along with a certain amount of incompletely purified faith in the God of Discipline, into the person's body.

With that wisp of purified faith as its core, it penetrated into the person's soul and spiritual aura. Then, the power of faith was stretched, with one side landing on a certain part of the soul and the other side landing on a 'phantom' in their spiritual aura.

This phantom image is the corresponding structure left behind after they have adapted to the implanted rampage accessories over a long period of time.

The moment the foreign object pierced his soul, it made him feel uncomfortable, and his spiritual aura began to become unstable.

However, soon, the other party's state of faith in the fictional agreement resonated with this purified power of faith, restoring a degree of stability to his soul. At this moment, the berserk accessories also completed their coordination.

Having completed this step, Nemus let out a soft breath. Although he had already conducted in-depth research on the soul, modifying the soul was still difficult.

After a brief pause, allowing the test subject's soul to gradually adapt to the purified faith, the subsequent procedures can continue.

The power of faith in the associated divine commandments was gradually inscribed onto the spiritual aura of the test subjects.

Having had multiple experiences of resetting and rebuilding, Nemus was exceptionally familiar with Spiritual Aura.

This step made things much more stable.

The power of faith was gradually inscribed into the phantom image of the berserk parts.
