Before returning to Xiahui Territory, Ian made prophecies for most of the nobles in Nanling in Nauman City.

The results of the prophecy are naturally good and bad. After all, Ian's predictions are only good and bad omens, and there are no specific matters at all.

But even ordinary people can coax people with their words, let alone Ian, who has a silver chip and Nauman City database, and knows very detailed information about these nobles?

Therefore, all the nobles who came to request prophecies received results that satisfied them, made them stunned, and even made them grateful.

And Ian was also satisfied with the tendency table of the Nanling nobles.

The prophet's prophecy is essentially a test.

The nobles who are willing to ask Ian to predict their future are those who trust Ian and lean towards the empire and Nanling officials. No matter what advice Ian gives, they are willing to listen.

As for those who are unwilling to ask Ian to predict their future, they either don’t trust Ian or they don’t trust the empire. In short, they have to choose a hat to wear.

Identifying thorns is as simple as that for a prophet.

It doesn't matter if they are thorns, Ian doesn't care, but most of these thorns have some strength, and they are obviously secretly expressing their dissatisfaction with Ian who immediately forcibly seizes power as soon as he comes back and prevents them from becoming emperors.

——We have been in Nanling for two hundred years, and the central government of the empire has never taken care of us. Why did you come to centralize power as soon as you came? Who are you?

I am a prophet!

Ian sneered at the idea of ​​such a prickly aristocrat. In the past, South Ridge was a garbage dump and a penal colony. The redwoods and mountain people were used to grind up those people who were not killed openly but no one wanted to keep them alive. .

There are indeed many resources in the mountains, but they are difficult to develop, so the local nobles are given great freedom to explore wildly.

But two hundred years later, even the Caotan Cliff at the farthest end of the South Ridge was brought under the control of Harrison Port, and a new era had already begun.

Now, as the first earl of Nanling who was the "king's guardian", Ian naturally had to shoulder the important responsibility of integrating the entire Nanling into the empire's system.

That's why Ian dared to say that he wanted to "integrate the entire Nanling into one piece."

Naturally, Ian will also make some small moves during this integration process, such as increasing some personal prestige, expanding his actual control area, etc...

Moreover, he will not be afraid of backlash.

Because this is the purpose of Axel's edict.

This is the 'compensation' given to Ian and the 'First Knight' by expelling the Mahdi.

After doing this, Ian set off back to his territory.

Although he had not been away for long, only about two months, he felt as if he was separated from the world... In fact, many experiments in the territory may have produced results, just waiting for him to accept them, and Guide the follow-up process.

Originally, this was enough to look forward to.

But Ian didn't expect that there would be unexpected surprises in his territory.

"Loren from White Grass Town...I remember you."

Ian stood up slowly. He could feel that there was an inexplicable spiritual power pouring out of the small body in front of him and coming towards him.

This is really unexpected...does anyone really believe in him?

To be honest, Ian is indeed quite confident in his appearance - even in places like Earth and Terra in his previous life, where adjusters and new humans are everywhere, his appearance was first-class and special. charm.

But the best thing is to make people like him, and Ian also knows that there are indeed many people, even a few friends, who have... well, different ideas about him. But because of the power gap and Ian's clever methods, most of those people would retreat in spite of the difficulties.

This is actually the disadvantage of looking too good, because most people will subconsciously have a favorable impression, so it is difficult to generate pure loyalty or belief.

But this boy did it.

"My spiritual power has not been enhanced. On the contrary, my heart light body has been strengthened to a certain extent... Yes, this enhancement is exactly the 'guidance quantity' required to activate the Guiding Star!"

With the gift of the Star God, Ian is very sensitive to various data in his body. He immediately noticed that the 'spiritual energy of faith' coming from Loren's body was blessing the 'Guiding Star'.

And this kind of blessing is not unfamiliar to him, but very familiar to him!

If the Guiding Star wants to activate and link other parallel times and spaces and other paths to Ian, what he needs is the ‘number of guidance’.

Guided the people of the White People and the people of the Xiahui Territory, Ian connected to the "Path of the Insect Swarm".

Guiding the collective of mountain people allowed Ian to connect to the 'Spiritual Disaster Path'.

Now, Ian is slowly starting to guide the entire Nanling Province... If nothing else, this will allow him to connect to the 'Star Extinguishing Path'.

This so-called guidance, in essence, is the fate of many people, guided in one direction by Ian's power, so their fate has also become Ian's fate, and their power has become Ian's destiny from a more noble etheric perspective. The power of grace.

The fate of all living beings gathers in Ian's hands, making the guiding star shine brighter.

Loren's spiritual power of faith is the purest and most direct manifestation of this 'gathering of power'.

Ian could sense that Loren's spiritual power of faith was, in essence, generating a pure force that linked him with him.

This pure power can enhance and nourish Ian's own soul and mind, but after all, it is an external force that Ian cannot absorb.

but! Ian realized that although he could not absorb this power, he could transform this pure soul power and shape it into the form he wanted.

Whether it is the 'computing unit' of the meditation method or the 'inscription circuit' of the inscription, it can be inscribed on Loren's power of faith by Ian.

Then, he can return this power of faith.

Yes, give it back.

Whether it's called faith feedback or divine magic, in short, the spiritual energy awakened by Loren is essentially a spiritual energy that entrusts everything to Ian and allows Ian to flatten and round him.

What abilities he has, he himself cannot decide at the beginning, because all he has are seeds.

Only when Ian, the 'god he believed in', hatched the seeds for him and carved the raw stone into a finished product, could Loren continue to develop this power 'given to him by Ian'.

As for whether Ian gave him fire psychic powers, frost psychic powers, magnetic psychic powers, or sensory psychic powers... it all depends on Ian's abilities.

【Loren】

[Bilaterally symmetrical humanoid carbon-based sublimation creature on Terra (Golden People variant)]

[First energy level·Young body·Excellence·Natural intelligent creature·Main intelligent creature in the star field·Psychic awakening]

[This human individual has awakened his spiritual energy, and his spiritual energy is a passive sustenance spiritual energy 'dependent', which needs to be cultivated and shaped by the 'Lord'. This psychic form rarely appears in non-idealistic civilizations and is a rare specialized individual]

[This human being has excellent individual qualities and is the ‘superior species’ in the cluster]

[Body material...carbon-based life...flesh species]

[Strength Level: Weak]

[Contains source quality: 1.7411 basic units]

【……】

It has to be said that Loren believes in Ian far more than he believes in himself - and this relationship is called 'Lord' and 'affiliated' in the Star God's database.

Ian murmured in his heart: "The prototype of divine magic...another possibility of the arcane path."

——The power of faith, the so-called yearning, has become the direction of guidance... Faith is the power of direction, and faith plus the dead king should be the cornerstone of the 'system of gods'.

——The time is also right. Perhaps, he is the starting point of the path of the gods and the original model of the 'power of guidance' in my guiding star.

Ian took a deep look at the boy in front of him, then gently stretched out his hand to lift him up.

"Get up."

He said, "Follow me."

"Um."

So Loren, who was kneeling on one knee, stood up and followed Ian.

Ian noticed that Loren's belief in him was not that he blindly followed his instructions, but that he knew that his decision was correct and believed in the results of all Ian's choices.

He knew the meaning of his faith, but he still chose this path without hesitation.

Although he is a citizen of gold, Loren's hair is black and as soft as algae. His eyes are very bright, a special moon-white color, emitting a faint brilliance due to his spiritual energy, and are very conspicuous even when viewed from a distance.

"This child..."

At this moment, Adlbert also came closer. He had just noticed Loren's psychic energy fluctuations and Ian's actions, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "His psychic energy is related to you?"

"Yes."

There was nothing to hide between Ian and Adbot. He briefly explained the relationship between belief in spiritual energy and himself, and successfully made his alchemy supervisor, the chief researcher of the Dead King, fall into deep thought: "This is too wonderful. No - rather, the relationship between him and you is completely an optimized version of the relationship between the 'soul' and the 'dead king'!"

"The soul can only use its own soul structure as a part of the dead king. All the people are essentially part of the dead king's power. This relationship is so close and rigid that after a soul is shaped, it will no longer be possible. Other possibilities...even from the moment his soul was shaped, there were no other possibilities."

Scarlet eyes looked at Loren, but Adalbert's eyes were very soft: "This child will entrust everything to you, but on the other hand, you can also shape everything for him."

"There are too many people who don't know what they want to do. For example, some say they want to be a doctor, some say they want to be a judge, and some say they want to be an alchemist. In fact, they just want to be respected. , want to judge others, want to be rich and knowledgeable...but if they don’t recognize themselves, then they will go down the wrong path.”

"But you, Ian, you are a prophet - you can choose a path that is best for these people. A road that they themselves do not know, and that their own souls do not know!"

"It would be great if...the relationship between me and the souls was like this."

The dead king researcher sighed a little depressed.

"Why not?"

Ian replied calmly: "Loren's appearance in front of us is the biggest revelation: our career will move in this direction. The Dead Lord should indeed improve in this direction, and we will gradually liberate the energy in our bodies." Those dead souls, bring them back to life.”

"Loren is expecting me to guide him... Little does he know, he is also guiding us."

As he said this, Ian turned his head. He smiled and touched the hair of the boy beside him - it was very smooth. The white-haired prophet said slowly: "So, Loren, don't be nervous."

"To be arrogant, it is indeed an honor for you to believe in me. But in fact, it is also an honor for me to gain your faith."

"If your belief is that you want to express your gratitude for what I have done in the past... then now, I also want to express my gratitude for your guidance in our career."

Having said this, Ian lowered his head and asked seriously: "Is there anything you want?"

"I……"

At this moment, Loren's brain was a little hot.

First of all, it was because of the conversation between Ian and Adebert - the two people communicated without any evasion at all, and everything was said straightforwardly.

As a smart child, Loren certainly knows that these topics are the main projects of Xia Hui in the future, and they are secrets among secrets... Can he really listen to them? Even if you don’t understand, you must not know things you shouldn’t know!

Secondly, it is Ian's attitude towards himself.

Loren truly regarded Ian as a 'god'... In other words, no matter what Ian wanted to do to him, he was willing to do it.

Because he believes that everything Ian does is to allow him and more people to develop in a better direction in the future.

But what did Ian say to him? He also guided the research direction of 'God'... How incredible is it that his own faith is such an important thing?

at last……

Ian's psychic fluctuations were so strong that he was a little affected and speechless.

"Ian... don't forget that you are a goblin now!"

Adlbert noticed that Loren's eyes were about to spin in circles, and had to remind him: "Fairies have their own psychic abilities... Your psychic powers are stronger than those of ordinary fairies. Ordinary people are not careful in front of you." He will become a puppet who does whatever he says!"

"Although this child has psychic powers, his belief in you makes him more easily influenced!"

"……indeed."

Ian is a little embarrassed. This is actually a kind of innate ability of goblins: goblins can spontaneously affect natural psychic energy, and then create a psychic field. They are the darlings of natural psychic energy, and Ian is the one who awakens psychic energy. Prophet, the two powers are mixed, and the psychic field is more powerful.

No... Ian suddenly thought. He is actually a chosen psychic, but he also has some elements of awakened psychic powers.

and……

In addition, he achieved the third energy level and obtained the life spiritual energy ‘Heart Light Body’...

Don’t I have all the four major spiritual powers?

Chosen, awakening, life, nature...

At this moment, at an unexpected moment, Ian suddenly discovered that he seemed to have gathered all the [Chosen of the Void], [Container of Desire], [Glory of Ascension] and [Condensed Light of All Things].

The only thing left is the most mysterious fifth spiritual power...

【Origin of Creation】

Or...

【The End of Reincarnation】

"Origin...reincarnation..."

Ian frowned, and the cross-star crown flashed across his forehead. The prophet was thinking deeply at this moment: "Although it may be a bit pretentious...but this description was a bit hard to tell at the time..."

"But looking at it now, it seems to be a perfect fit for the 'Guiding Star' and my identity as the 'Aether Echo of Time and Space'!"
