chapter 8 : 2 point of fiath
The bell's metallic shriek still hung in the air
Meant that the final bell of the second day rang out
as Long Su shouldered past Chen Shuirong, their elbows brushing
No words needed.
Both of them wasted no time gathering their belongings and rushing out of the school, eager to embark on their next adventure.
They had made plans to meet later today and venture into one of the many dungeons that dotted the landscape around the city
As soon as he reaches his house
Long Su entered his seed world, his foot steps was silent as he navigated the maze of skeleton slaves who guards the outside area of palace
they'll standing sentinel around his small palace.
Instead of disturbing them, he chose to teleport directly to the throne at the centre of the main hall's room.
As the lord of a seed world he can move anywhere around the seed world with a thought
He settled in the throne and change into a meditative pose and down, cross-legged.
50 Skeletons militias who were all guarding the main hall turned their hollow eyes toward him
after seeing that it was long su
they turned their heads to look over the horizon along with the sound of bones rubbing against each other.
Their bones sowrd clattered
'greeting?-'
Long Su kept his gaze forward as he settled himself in the grand hall of his throne room
surrounded by the weighty silence of ancient stones and the fading echoes of past glories.
Even though he only have a small parts of fu su memories as a child,
Every parts of the small palace have a familiar attachment for him
but the Xianyang Palace is something that he visit is all the time, so his small palace is like a copy of it
Memories floating as he increase his consciousness to the seed world
All of them rearranging into a verse of small Fu Su walking behind a tall and majestic man with eyes looking at the outside sky and said " my son never forget that Kings kneel to no one but their own body."
" kingship mean to lead the world"
" the king is the faith that moves and inspire his people "
Long Su stilled as he watches this memories.
The air tasted of petrichor and old blood deep in his heart boiled.
" iam the king of DaQin"
With a deep breath, he opened the books provided by Teacher Li, his fingers tracing the embossed letters on their spines: "Elementary Use of Faith" and " Ways to Increase Faith.".
Stone chilled his palms as he slumped onto the dais.' Breathe.
Remember the seed world is me and iam the seed world'
Teacher Li's books lay heavy in his lap, their leather bindings seething with heat.
Cross-legged now, spine rigid against carved dragons.
He closed his eyes.
'Reach and feel it. Like Teacher said.'
Darkness.
Then—
A flicker.
There.
Something brushed his mental fingertips—silk spun from starlight, slipping away.
He lunged, gritting teeth.' Fool. Faith isn't hunted.'
'Let it come to you by its self.
He unclenched jaw by jaw.
Closing his eyes again, he began to follow the prescribed exercises.
reaching out with his senses to the faint currents of faith energy that coursed through the ground and sky inside the world seed
The throne's armrests dug crescent moons into his palms.
A prickling warmth.
Then—
Golden threads coalesced in the dark, shy as fawns.
They circled his ankles, his wrists. One brushed his cheek.
'Yes finally it success '
The cocoon came sudden—a thousand sunlit spiderwebs tightening round his ribs. His lungs burned.
The throne shrieked as his nails gouged stone.
At first, the power was elusive, a wisp of light barely discernible against the darkness of the earth.
But as he focused his will, the energy slowly responded, swelling and strengthening in response to his call.
Around him, a warm, golden light began to bloom, suffusing the palace with a soft radiance
Finally it curled around him like a living thing, enveloping him in a cocoon of shimmering
"Boom!"
Light detonated.
When vision returned, ghostly characters hovered in the smoke:
**[Faith Points: 2]**
Long Su stared. Then laughed—a raw, guttural sound that sent sentinels rattling beyond the doors.
" only Two point" he whispered.
This number mean a very bad news for long su
300 skeletons × 0.0067 faith/day = 2.01
With 250 slave skeleton and 50 Qin militia skeleton just produced 2 point of faith point everyday
For the future growth it mean that long su must spend more gold coins to summon more units to gather more faith points
In the same time he need to use gold coins to increase his world seed area's
Even though he didn't try to use the gold coins to increase his seed world area but its was mention in the study book
A hundred thousand of gold coins will increase your land by 1,000 square kilometers
But this just for the first investment then next time you want to increase your land more gold coins are needed
Gold coins
Everything need gold coins
While he was thinking about how his faith was low
A small suddenly light Ball flying above his head
As soon as it touched his heads its was like an explosion in his mind, and then a large amount of information entered my mind.
The influx of information was like a lightning bolt
searing through Long Su's consciousness and leaving him breathless.
He sat there for a moment, his mind reeling as he struggled to process the sudden influx of knowledge.
As he opened his eyes, it was clear that something had changed.
A spark of excitement danced in his gaze, a glimmer of understanding and possibility.
It turned out that the information he had received was intimately connected to the very foundations of his territory.
The small palace possessed a remarkable ability, one that could be invoked free for the first time
thank to that he get the first three Qin buildings
To activate this ability again he need to sacrifice a new type of faith point called the filthy faith point
"Filthy… faith," he rasped, staring at trembling hands. "Not from my people. From enemy's dead body's "
New type of faith that no one knows about
A slow grin split his lips.
Outside, skeletal militiamen polished rusted swords.
Long Su's gaze drifted to the northern vault—where Fu Su's fragmented memories whispered of sweat female voice in his head
Fu Su's mother pointing to his father back , her voice layered beneath Long Su's muttering: "A king's first war is always against himself."
He stood, legs quivering.
The faith threads swirled closer, drawn to his fever-bright eyes.
the power to sacrifice can change a building or similar structure within its world seed bounds
using the energy released to build 'Daqin' civilization, from military to civilian buildings.
War. Sacrifice. Rebuild.
But each sacrifice required extra demands of a price the of faith
whether gathering Daqin faith point from his units to increase his cultivation
or gathering filthy faith by killing of his enemies.
Long Su could feel the weight of this responsibility to rebuild the Qin civilization
he burden of knowing that his decisions would shape the destiny of his territory and all those who were inside it to rebuild Daqin as a home for him who wanted to have his route in this dangerous unknown world
However, despite the potential of the small palace's sacrifice ability, Long Su quickly realised that he was in a difficult situation.
His territory was small and sparsely populated, with only a handful of skeleton soldiers to generate the faith energy required as a fuel to activate the ability.
The meagre amount of faith produced by these units was nowhere near enough to sustain the growth and development of his realm.
He have almost 300 skeleton but after a full day he only have 2 point of faith
in the future he need to spend more gold coins to increase his skeleton numbers
As the small palace upgraded and gained new abilities, the requirements for faith energy would only increase.
placing greater pressure on Long Su to find new sources of faith .
But as a young student, he knew that his options were limited.
He was far from being able to challenge powerful creatures or entring enough dungeons to extract filthy faith from them.
let alone engage in the complex and dangerous process of interdimensional exploration.
Long Su recognised the importance of setting achievable goals.
Despite the pressing demands of his territory, he knew that his immediate priority was to excel in his studies and prepare for the upcoming college entrance examination.
He set his sights on a prestigious university within the Word top ten universities of Dragon Kingdom
Only the top ten universities can help him to improve his level of cultivation quickly
determined to devote himself fully to the rigorous preparation required to achieve his academic goals.
As the top ten universities, these institutions not only have a large number of resources for the lord to develop
but also have a unique benefit after entering them.
That is, all top ten universities will have a different space portal that leads to higher world and different dimensions.
This is why some universities are the dream of every lord, while for other universities joining them just to keep yourself from danger
Even if they give you money, many lords who have ambitions will never hesitate to decline entering them.
It was a challenge that would demand all of his time and effort, but one that he knew was essential to his future success.
The top ten university places less emphasis on cultural education and more on practical army stringht and command skills.
With his skeletal units and the Daqin Palace at his disposal
He felt more confident in his abilities and possibilities for success.
Although it is still hard, there is still hope.
