Chapter 181: Is Faith Toxic?
🕑 Added 2025-03-26 15:25:08 +0000 UTCThe blue-gold light that shot up into the sky lasted for half an hour before it completely ended.
Neptune slowly closed his eyes, feeling the space between heaven and earth, feeling every call and worship in the sea, the power of faith nourished his heart, countless creatures in the sea were calling him with their most pious voices. And his power of the sea god was sublimated in this faith and became more perfect.
Although there are sayings in many worlds that faith is poisonous, in fact, whether faith is harmful or not depends on whether you rely on faith? Will faith affect your mind? What do you have left without faith?
The saying that faith Is poisonous in many worlds is nothing more than that the gods of that world will be changed by the faith of all beings and become what the believers want them to be. And if there is no faith, the power of the gods will gradually decline… Even if there is no power of faith at all, the gods will disappear. So for people in this world, faith is of course poisonous. It is a path that is not up to standard.
But the gods in the Douluo world are different. They have their own strength, but they rely on the faith of all living beings to break through the key and consolidate their position as gods. Therefore, without faith, their own strength may be affected. But it is not to the extent that without faith, they will die.
And the position of deity actually has another function, which is to help the gods filter out the impurities of the seven emotions and six desires of all living beings mixed in the power of faith.
After being purified and filtered in this way, only the purest energy remains, and there is naturally no danger for the gods to absorb it.
Although it is often criticized as a fantasy floor tile, that is just some descriptive errors made by the author and does not mean that this world is really that low-level.
After all the storms have calmed down.
Neptune slowly withdrew his power as the god of the sea. He had used his divine thoughts to announce the return of the god of the sea to the entire ocean. From this moment on, the sea had a new master!
The door of the Temple of the Sea God slowly opened.
A figure in a blue-gold robe came out. It was Neptune. He had already put the Sea God armor into his body, and then used his divine power to condense a blue-gold robe to cover his body. Even the Sea God Trident in his hand turned into a stream of light and sank into the Sea God Mark on his forehead. These were equivalent to parts of his body, so they could be retracted and released.
Not long ago, he was a sea god who shocked the world, but now Neptune has completely restrained his aura and feels like an ordinary person, peaceful and kind. This is the extreme control of one’s own power, which is also the so-called return to nature.
At this time, outside the Temple of Sea God.
The seven Sea God Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo were waiting. When they saw him coming out, the seven of them, led by Sea Dragon Douluo, bowed down at the same time, “Greetings, Lord Sea God!”
Neptune did not speak, nor did he make any other movements, but an invisible force lifted up the seven guardians.
“Seven guardians, please stand up. You have served as guardians of the Holy Pillar for many years and have made great contributions. Sea God Island will rely on you in the future.” He first said a few polite words, then looked at the leader of the seven, Sea Dragon Douluo, and said, “Sea Dragon Guardians, now that High Priestess Bo Saixi has completed her duties, the position of High Priestess of Sea God Island will be inherited by you.”
“What? Me?”
Sea Dragon Douluo was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: “Lord Sea God, didn’t you say you wanted to revive the high priest? Did something unexpected happen?”
The other six guardians also looked at him eagerly, eager to get an answer.
Neptune smiled calmly and said, “The position of high priest is both a responsibility and a bondage. Bo Saixi has been bound by this position all her life, and has missed a great marriage opportunity. Now that she has sacrificed her life to help me ascend to godhood, I will naturally help her. I have decided to set her free after she is resurrected.”
“Marriage?!”
The seven guardians were stunned when they heard this. As the elders of Sea God Island, they knew about the things between Bo Saixi and Tang Chen. They also knew that because she was the high priest, she could not leave Sea God Island without permission, which led to Bo Saixi’s inability to go to the mainland to find that man after so many years.
If after resurrection, Bo Saixi is still the high priestess. Then how can she pursue her own happiness when she is still bound by her position?
Perhaps it is for this reason that Neptune, the new sea god, decided to set her free and chose another person to replace her as the high priestess.
After listening to Neptune’s explanation, the seven guardians felt relieved.
Sea Dragon Douluo did not refute it. After all, even though this was what Bo Saixi wanted, becoming the high priest of Sea God Island was a huge temptation for any Sea God believer.
Because the high priest not only has the title of Sea God Douluo, but also holds a high position on the Sea God Island, second only to the one and above ten thousand people. When the Sea God is not around, everything is decided by the high priest. You can imagine how important this position is.
After thinking it through, Sea Dragon Douluo no longer hesitated and knelt on the ground. The other six Guardian Douluos also bowed down together and said respectfully: “We will follow the will of Lord Sea God.”
Neptune smiled slightly and accepted their greeting calmly. His status was different now, and it was right and necessary for him to accept this greeting. Forcing equality would only make it look abnormal.
After sending away the seven guardians and saying that they would see a lively Bo Saixi soon, Neptune walked back into the Sea God Temple and began to revive Bo Saixi!
It Is actually quite simple for the gods of Douluo Continent to resurrect a person. As long as the soul is still there, it is not difficult for the gods to create a body. In this world, there is no six reincarnations or the underworld to govern, so the gods can play with souls and trample on the rules of life and death at will.
Moreover, many soul skills of soul masters who have not yet become gods also have the function of resurrection. For example, Bibi Dong has a soul skill that cannot be killed unless it is a god-level soul master. Even if it is beaten to pieces, it can still be resurrected.
In Douluo Dalu II, Tang San also easily resurrected Huo Gua’s mother. In Douluo Dalu 3, so many people died, and Tang Hao also easily resurrected them. It can be seen that in this world, resurrecting a person is not a difficult task as long as the soul is there.
If you ask Neptune to create a divine body for Bo Saixi, he definitely can’t do it. But it’s still easy to make an ordinary person’s body.
If a god can’t even do this, what kind of god is he?
Inside the Temple of Sea God.
Neptune looked serious, exerting his divine power to the maximum. The water spirits in the air from all directions gathered together, and in just a moment, a large water ball with a diameter of one meter appeared.
He flipped his hand and took out Bo Saixi’s soul. With a gentle push, the light ball-shaped soul slowly floated away and finally landed in the big water ball…
This big water ball is the energy condensed from pure water spirit. Neptune is now ready to use this water spirit to reshape a body for Bo Saixi.
