CH 16

The Void has no sense of time.

Unknowingly, several days have passed since the last time Wu Hui visited the mortal plane.

During these past few days, Wu Hui checked his divinity information almost a dozen times a day. As he watched the number of his followers steadily increase and the power of their faith grow day by day, his mood improved. Even the desolate and lonely scenes in his divine realm did not affect his good mood.

On this day, Wu Hui floated aimlessly in his divine realm, occasionally daydreaming and contemplating the current situation before him.

Out of boredom, he couldn’t help but open the interface of his divinity information.

Holy Spirits: 0

Holy Believers: 0

Fanatic Believers: 7

Devout Believers: 478

True Believers: 98

Shallow Believers: 119

Power of Faith: 416

Divine Power: 0.1 …

He remembered that this morning when he checked his divinity information, the number of True Believers was only 96. In just half a day, the number of True Believers had increased by two.

It was clear that two Shallow Believers had been converted into True Believers.

Wu Hui suddenly felt a sense of relief throughout his body, feeling as if even his soul was floating.

Developing followers was being overseen by the Light Saint, Catherine, so Wu Hui found himself with only 0.1 Divine Power left, and he was unable to do anything else.

Apart from watching his followers’ progress, he couldn’t think of anything else he could do.

As a great god of light, being idle all day was really boring.

Floating in mid-air in the square full of ruins for a while, a thought suddenly came to Wu Hui’s mind.

If he could “see” the mortal world directly and know in real-time what Catherine and the others were doing, that would be great!

Once this idea had surfaced in his mind, it was hard to let go of it.

However, there was still time to study now. The omnipotence of a god was not just an empty phrase, and creating divine arts was not difficult as long as the principles were understood.

And the Diety was like a computer that combined hardware and software and could assist him in doing many things.

Wu Hui constructed divine arts in his mind according to the method used by the old Light God to create divine arts and simulated their effects.

It was almost like taking a programming course at university for Wu Hui.

He became so absorbed that he forgot the passing of time.

Before he knew it, three days had passed.

During those three days, Wu Hui spent almost all his time studying divine magic, with the exception of his daily monitoring of changes in his followers.

He created three kinds of divine arts that can be used to observe the mortal world.

However, these three divine arts either consumed too much energy or required a high level, or they were like a divine descent, requiring a large number of mortal believers or a single powerful believer’s prayer to establish a connection with the mortal world, which had too many limitations.

What he needed was a divine art that had low energy consumption, a low level requirement, and could be used to observe the mortal world at any time and place, just by his will. Obviously, these three divine arts did not meet the requirements.

However, he did gain some insights from his experiments.

During this process, he unexpectedly gained an insight into a little trick that allowed him to “hear” and “see” the situations around his followers through the faith channel when they prayed in their daily lives.

This process, because it was activated by the believers themselves, did not require any extra divine power consumption. The advantage was that it saved divine power, but the drawback was that it could only be used on fanatical or holy believers, and could only observe the surrounding area of the believers. The perspective was very narrow, and he couldn’t adjust the angle.

However, even with so many shortcomings, the fact that it did not require divine power consumption was enough to make it stand out.

After all, he was poor.

In the current situation where he could barely scrape together one point of divine power, his requirements were not high at all.

In the evening of that day, Wu Hui sorted out his experiences from the past few days and was preparing to continue studying the divine arts with renewed vigor.

Suddenly, he had a bold idea: what if he could extract information from the lower realm through the faith channel, instead of projecting his consciousness into it?

He realized that the reason why he could observe the surroundings of fanatical believers when they prayed was because the faith channel itself had the function of transmitting information. The faith channel generated by fanatical believers praying was enough to support this kind of information transmission, and the energy consumption could be said to be negligible.

In contrast, the reason why God’s Descent required a consumption of 0.1 divine power was mainly because his soul and consciousness entered the lower realm through the faith channel.

The difference between the two methods is like having a video call versus traveling a long distance for a face-to-face meeting, and the nature of the two methods is completely different, with vastly different levels of energy consumption.

Once he understood this, Wu Hui felt like his body was suddenly flooded with energy, and he had a new, clear path to constructing his magic. He had a strong feeling that this time, he would surely succeed!

“Divine essence! Construct magic!” Wu Hui’s mind flickered, and his divine essence trembled violently. Countless divine runes flowed through his mind like water, carrying a mysterious and majestic rhythm.

After a moment, all the changes suddenly disappeared, and a brand new divine art appeared in his divine nature, condensed into a unique “sacred rune” – the “Eye of God”.

This is a level 1 divine art that projects information from the lower realm into his consciousness like a holographic projection. It can be viewed like watching a movie, or it can achieve an immersive effect. The viewing angle can be freely adjusted, and the observable area is also very wide.

Basically, wherever there are believers, he can “see”, and it doesn’t matter what kind of believer, even the shallow ones.

It was almost a perfect divine art!
