Chapter 367: Divine Pantheon Formed, Real World Experiment
"The Wish Power integration level has increased?" Alvin had clearly heard this as well and turned around in curiosity. "Crown, do you mean the power of the South American Deities has been elevated?"
"Not quite!" Bai Yang shook his head. "I designed the power of the South American Deities myself, so naturally it can't be easily elevated. If that were the case, we would have a hard time. With too many Deities around, the density of Wish Power would plummet."
"Then what do you mean..." Alvin asked, perplexed.
Bai Yang thought for a moment before explaining, "Let me put it this way. You know that every Divine Pantheon has its own Wish Power focus, right? Each different Divine Pantheon emphasizes a distinct direction for Wish Power!"
"Of course! On the Dylan Continent, the Wish Power focus between lawful good and chaotic Evil is completely different!" Alvin nodded.
"Exactly. In this world, the so-called Wish Power focus required by different factions varies. For example, because the Norse Pantheon originated from pirates, it leans more heavily toward combat, sacrifice, and agriculture. Meanwhile, Buddhism emphasizes Compassionate Mercy and dedication, and Christianity focuses on atonement..."
"As for the South American Deities, they focus on War, Sacrifice, and agriculture. Within their Mythology, these three Deities often occupy highly significant positions. At a certain stage in Mayan Mythology, the Corn god tribe was even considered the Chief God!"
Bai Yang's words flowed slowly, bringing a sudden realization to Alvin. "Are you saying that with the emergence of agriculture and the increase in Wish Power integration, the true anchor of Divine Faith for the South American Deities has been established?"
"Yes!" A hint of excitement flashed through Bai Yang's eyes. "I originally thought that even after conquering Mexico, we would only harvest shallow Believers. After all, Christianity has cultivated this land for far too long. I figured it would still take some time to truly obtain enough Wish Power to support a Divine Pantheon!"
"However, with the spread of Belief in Deities related to agriculture, this power is actually solidifying at a rapid pace!"He had previously overlooked the sheer power and necessity of this planting attribute for an agricultural nation.
Although Christianity was undeniably strong, its might was built upon its own foundational cornerstone of Divine Faith.
But now, what was the cornerstone of Divine Faith for farmers?
It was planting, agriculture, favorable weather, and the sprouting of seeds!
Regardless of the country, these things were the most unadorned wishes of farmers, and they served as the unique foundation upon which agricultural Deities could truly thrive!
Now, this foundation was reclaiming the Divine Faith of the Original Inhabitants, who had long since drifted away from their own culture. After securing their safety, they ignorantly but instinctively sensed exactly what the Deities they worshipped could bring them.
The emergence of this integration meant that the vast numbers of farmers would truly become Believers of these Deities, rather than mere bystanders.
In Bai Yang's hands, the gathered Wish Power spun rapidly, swiftly coalescing into an almost flawless corner of a world. "It's enough, it's already enough. The core of this world is now incredibly complete!"
During the previous Sacrifice, he had successfully allowed the Divine Faith of the Americas' Deities to take root and sprout on this land, to the point of flourishing wildly, finally surpassing ten million points.
Now, this Wish Power allowed him to complete the foundational establishment of another Divine Pantheon!
"Crown, what is the foundation for establishing this Divine Pantheon? Is it the Christian Divine Flame, or the Divine Kingdom of the Norse Gods?" Alvin asked curiously.
The remaining Transcendent factions were still just engaged in minor skirmishes. The only ones that truly possessed the attributes of a Divine Pantheon were still those first two set up by Bai Yang.
Of course, Buddhism also shared this attribute, but they belonged to a more illusory "mind-flow" sect. They were inherently a virtual Deity test conducted by Bai Yang, so they could be set aside for now.
"Neither!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "This will be their very own special system, known as polytheism!"
He greatly admired these Native Americans. When he left, leaving behind only a sliver of illusory Wish Power and Divine Faith for support, they surprisingly did not fall apart. Nor were they intimidated by the infiltration of various factions. Instead, relying on the deterrence of Atlas, they successfully completed a metamorphosis entirely their own.
Relying purely on their own Divine Faith, through prayers and Sacrifice, they had actually managed to cultivate and transform their personal Transcendent strength. To Bai Yang, this was naturally something worthy of immense appreciation.
He was never stingy with rewards for groups that displayed such high subjective initiative, and the formation of their Divine Pantheon was Bai Yang's reward to these people!
"In the future, this continent will become a battleground where the Divine Faith of the Americas' Deities clashes with the Christian Faith!" Bai Yang declared.
Christianity remained the majority religion in South America, an unavoidable fact given that Mexico boasted an absurdly high Christian adherence rate of 92%, even higher than America. Although the current rise of the Original Inhabitants would cause many to break away from Christianity, the Catholic Church wasn't to be underestimated. They would inevitably catch on and employ a series of methods to secure their Core Support.
This had nothing to do with benevolence or malice; it was simply the innate nature of religious sects.
"Therefore, I will use Aztec Mythology as the main axis and Mayan Mythology as the branches to establish a completely new narrative thread belonging to the myths of the Americas!" Bai Yang raised his hand. A hidden vein slowly materialized in his palm, gradually solidifying until it completely transformed into a genuine, tangible worldline.
"Through this vein, we can thread together the originally scattered three major Divine Pantheons into a special timeline. This will make their Divine Faith far more concrete, allowing this Divine Pantheon to truly manifest in this world!"
He waved his hand, and this unique river of Mythology actually began to drift sluggishly around them, slowly blending with the Divine Flame summoned by Bai Yang!
The Christian Divine Flame and the river of the Americas' myths merged in his hands, producing a brilliant Radiance. Then, under the influence of Bai Yang's power, they slowly wove together into an incredibly distinct Light that revealed itself within this world.
Alvin stared at the scene, clicking his tongue in amazement. "Is this... grafting the historical transformation model of Christianity onto the history of South America?"
"No, no, no, Alvin, you shouldn't think of it that way!" Bai Yang shook his head. "Look at the bigger picture. The Deities and Divine Pantheons across the entire world all leave traces behind. Under such circumstances, every Divine Pantheon should possess records of the others!"
"Only through mutual corroboration will these histories appear far more authentic, rather than fabricated!"
"You must understand, even though these Divine Pantheons are fictitious, once this method of recording is established, Wish Power will turn these Divine Pantheons into reality!"
With a sweep of his hand, the two different concepts interweaving before him actually began to shimmer with Radiance—a Radiance born from altering history through the influence of his own Wish Power.
Within the secret archives of the Vatican, there would now be records concerning certain Transcendent Wars. This was the true reason Jesus had come here; back in the day, they genuinely assisted the Spanish in suppressing the Transcendent beings of this land.
Meanwhile, deep beneath Mexico City, underneath the buried ruins of Tenochtitlan, detailed accounts of this battle were also embedded.
Bai Yang's logic was simple. These things wouldn't be discovered now, or even for a long time into the future. But once they were, the Wish Power integration level of this region would reach unprecedented heights!
This was merely an idle move, not particularly crucial. His true objective was still right in front of him.
Currently, the location Bai Yang occupied was Proxima Centauri, a place with a far more famous name: Alpha Centauri.
In literary and cinematic works, this was a place that produced countless legends. As a triple Star System, it was the home of the Trisolarans from "The Three-Body Problem", the location of the planet Pandora from "Avatar", and the coordinates of Cybertron from "Transformers".
However, having arrived here, Bai Yang could confirm one thing for them: this place was completely devoid of life. There were only scattered planets and moons, cold and dead, just like the rest of the Universe.
'Let's change our line of thought. Since a world requires Matter, why don't we directly build an Illusory World upon a real planet composed of Matter?' Bai Yang pondered silently as he gazed at the solid planet before him.
The more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed. 'That's it. I'll make the Setting so that a certain world of the American God System is placed on this planet, and the time and location will be designated as—five hundred years ago!'
Bai Yang thought with a chuckle, 'This will be an incredibly fascinating mythological experiment. The purpose of this experiment is to let us see whether transforming an illusory Soul into reality can provide genuine, unadulterated Wish Power.'
With a wave of his hand, Wish Power surged and God Power was generated. A group of Souls, originally liberated by "Jesus," were modified by him to become survivors of the Empire hailing from the year 1521, the era of that terrifying fall of divine authority!
"The Fifth Sun, Cortés captured Tenochtitlan... However, a group of survivors from the Aztec Empire chose not to remain on their homeland. Instead, seeking the aid of the Deities, they arrived on a strange, unfamiliar continent..."
A faint smile played at the corners of Bai Yang's mouth. Looking at the bewildered crowd before him, he gave a gentle nod.
"If this experiment succeeds, perhaps these regions can also become essential territories for me to mold my Divine Pantheon!"
"And my world won't necessarily need to be confined to a single planet!"
