Chapter 2351: Chapter 2371: The Familiar Pyramid Structure_1

Yan Chenglong’s expression seemed quite surprised, "Brother Lin, you don’t know about Faith Willpower?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "We come from a Mid-Grade Immortal Realm and have only arrived in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain not long ago. This is the first time I’ve heard of Faith Willpower. Can you explain it to us?"

Yan Chenglong said with a laugh, "I see, no wonder you don’t know. To put it simply, there are three thousand main roads, each with its own strengths. The path we come into contact with the most is the Qi refining Path, while the Sea God Sect follows the Willpower Path."

"Everyone is clear about the Qi Refining Path, so there’s no need to explain that. The Willpower Path, though, is about gathering faith and collecting Faith Willpower to cultivate on the Path to Immortality..."

Lin Chenxin had a thought, "Developing believers, absorbing the incense and faith of believers, and ultimately becoming immortal?"

Yan Chenglong nodded, "Yes, that’s roughly it. The more believers, the more willpower, the greater the achievements. As long as the number of believers continues to grow, you can definitely become a Saint."

Nalan Wushuang, curious, asked, "Are you saying you can definitely become a Saint without considering any bottlenecks?"

Yan Chenglong said with a laugh, "Cultivating with willpower ignores bottlenecks, which is the greatest advantage of the Willpower Path."

Everyone was greatly surprised, and Purple Cloud exclaimed in shock, "Doesn’t that mean everyone is like having an Innate Dao Body?"

Yan Chenglong nodded again, "In principle, that’s the case, but it’s not like you can just advance if you wish to. The amount of willpower required to advance is immensely plentiful, and to advance to a Saint, the amount of willpower needed is so terrifying you wouldn’t dare to imagine it."

"Willpower is provided by believers. There can be many believers, but there are also many people dividing that willpower. Thus, to gather more willpower and achieve higher realms is extremely difficult."

"Even if there are no bottlenecks, what does it matter? Without enough willpower, you can’t advance."

Lin Chen roughly understood, "This might be why the Willpower Path hasn’t become widely popular everywhere?"

Yan Chenglong nodded, "That’s right. The Willpower Path might seem simple, but it’s not easy to follow. The prevalence of the Willpower Path in the Northern Sea is tied to this area’s unique geography, power distribution, mortal foundational beliefs, and so on."

Lin Chenxiao’s eyes fell on the First-Order Sea God Command, "Can this Sea God Command be used to gather Faith Willpower?"

"Yes!"

Yan Chenglong said with a laugh, "If I take this First-Order Sea God Command to a place without faith and tell everyone that as long as they believe in the Sea God, the Sea God will respond to their pleas and help them. For instance, if there’s a drought, he can bring them rain, or when they’re sick, he can provide medicine to cure their diseases."

"When these people truly believe that worshipping the Sea God brings benefits, I will use this Sea God Command to create many statues for worship, each linked to the Sea God Command. When a believer sincerely worships in front of a statue, Faith Willpower is generated, which ultimately gets stored in this Sea God Command."

"I can use the Faith Willpower in the Sea God Command for my cultivation, but as my strength gradually increases, the willpower will become insufficient. Then I would try to apply for a Second-Order Sea God Command that can link to more worship statues, cover a wider area, more believers, and collect more willpower."

"For an upgrade to a higher level Sea God Command, a certain amount of Faith Willpower must be paid to the Sea God Sect, and after promotion, a certain amount of Faith Willpower must be turned in periodically, much like paying taxes."

Hearing this, Lin Chen finally understood the operational model of the Sea God Sect. It’s another blatant pyramid structure.

The Sea God is at the top, unique, controlling a vast amount of willpower. Those in senior management also receive plenty of willpower, and the further down, the less they get. To become more powerful, you just have to keep climbing up.

Gu Yuexi said with interest, "So with a Sea God Command, could one become a divine spirit in the hearts of an uncertain number of people?"

Yan Chenglong said with a laugh, "Immortals overturn rivers and seas, scatter clouds and rain, save the world, omnipotent. In the eyes of mortals, isn’t that divine? Besides, for mortals, whether it’s an immortal, a Buddha, or a demon, as long as their prayers are answered, they will naturally believe in you..."

Purple Cloud asked, "Doesn’t that mean those with a Sea God Command are very busy, having to listen to the many pleas of believers and deal with them one by one?"

Yan Chenglong curled his lips, "How can they satisfy everyone? Immortals want willpower, not to serve mortals. If they’re in a good mood, they might help a few; if not, they won’t bother. But in the event of natural disasters or epidemics, if they show up to solve the issue, that’s usually sufficient. Mortal life is short, and most people’s desires aren’t more than to eat well, dress warmly, and live without disease or disaster. If they have that, they feel blessed by immortals..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Chenglong, do you believe in the Sea God Sect?"

Yan Chenglong chuckled, "I don’t, but I find the Willpower Path quite interesting. I’m even planning to get myself a Sea God Command to play with; it doesn’t conflict with the Qi Refining Path..."
