Chapter 941: Infinite Faith
Mu Shen’s voice echoed throughout the Divine Sea Mysterious Realm and the space beyond, announcing the champion of the Universe Geniuses’ Contest!
His Celestial cultivation and methods carried his words, making them reach every corner of the universe.
All the people on the Blue Planet and Rhea were stunned.
The champion was Su Ping, from the Planet of Origin in Silvy, part of the Golden Star Zone!
His name and background made everybody in Silvy widen their eyes. Even though they found it hard to believe, the awe-inspiring voice coming from somewhere in space had clearly reassured them that it was not a dream. Su Ping was the true champion!
He was the champion of the universe!
“Isn’t the champion from our galaxy named Su Ping?”
“Of course he is. You’ve forgotten his name already?”
“I haven’t. I only wondered if I had misheard it…”
Everybody in Silvy was stunned, but shock was soon replaced by excitement.
“Boss Su has become the champion of the universe?”
“Is this true? Someone, slap me and wake me up… Damn, why did you slap me?”
Everybody on the Blue Planet had fallen into a daze.
They knew that Su Ping was very strong, since he had saved their planet from disaster, but now they were fully integrated with the Interstellar Federation. They had seen a lot of battle pet warriors perform, who were much stronger than their counterparts on the Blue Planet.
Those were just the normal ones.
The geniuses among them could crush any of their peers.
The top geniuses were even more unbelievable.
Su Ping—who had gone out of the secluded Blue Planet—had risen to the top in a competition against those monsters?
Even Qin Duhuang, Xie Jinshui and the others who were familiar with Su Ping found such a fact hard to believe. They would have first thought they were talking about someone else, had they not mentioned his background details.
At the same time—people from other galaxies within the Golden Star Zone were also cheering after waking up from their initial surprise.
They weren’t familiar with Su Ping, but he was a fellow member of the Golden Star Zone anyway; they were proud of him!
“He’s from the Golden Star Zone?”
On a continent that looked like a high tower in the vast universe, filled with brilliant stars, some people were staring at the distance.
In a certain star zone, a vague shadow gnashed his teeth inside a dark temple. “The champion is with Shen Huang. Damn it. He’s going to show off again.”
“Hurry up and gather all the information about this Su Ping. Try to make friends with him.”
“Another talent has emerged. It won’t be long before he becomes a Star Lord and makes a name for himself in the universe!”
Many organizations made note of the name, while many others took action.
From that day forth, Su Ping’s name was bound to be spread throughout the entire Federation, all thanks to Mu Shen’s announcement!
Although most people had never seen him, nor they knew a thing about him, all of them would remember his name. Even the ordinary people who were currently working on different planets—all of them had also heard the announcement, which also served to learn that the competition had just ended.
Inside the Divine Sea Mysterious Realm—
Mu Shen summoned the top ten players over. The second and third players were given Tier Six Identities.
Such distinction was mainly given to the best Star Lords; it was something they had to strive hard for.
Second place could also pick two treasures from the Heavenly Star Pavilion, and third place could pick one.
As for those from the fourth through the tenth, they were given Tier Five Identities; they would only have a chance to pick Earth-level and Star-level treasures.
Apart from those prizes, the most important was the access to the Divine Sea Mysterious Realm.
All the top ten winners would be given access to explore the Divine Sea, the namesake of the mysterious realm.
There they would gain a deeper understanding of the Ascendant State. Even though they were still too weak to break through to that realm, the experience would become a seed in their hearts.
Once they broke through and became high performing Star Lords, it was possible that the seed would sprout.
Of course, it might also wither, or be buried forever.
Su Ping was really looking forward to it. The road to the Star Lord State was already smooth for him, as he could break through at any time. However, the Ascendant State was a whole different matter.
Only the experts who reached those heights were considered the true bigshots dominating the universe!
It was extremely difficult to become an Ascendant. Not even Celestials could offer guidance, given that everyone’s method to break through was unique. That was one of the reasons why Ascendants were so rare.
Mu Shen’s image faded after making the announcement; everyone continued whispering with open excitement.
The Universe Geniuses’ Contest was finally over. It had been a chance to see the upper limit geniuses in the final battle. The small world of a Fate State cultivator was a source of shock to all the people in the universe!
It would be a source of shame for Star State experts.
As for Fate State warriors… They were probably unable to express what they felt.
How could any human being be so outstanding?
It was then that Su Ping heard a gentle and friendly voice spread inside his head. “Well done.”
He quickly recognized his master’s voice; as a reflex, he turned to look ahead at the palace. Shen Huang seemed to be more than satisfied with his performance.
“Don’t be too greedy while you wander in the Divine Sea; you may get in touch with things you can’t understand if you press too deeply. You may even collapse if you recklessly encounter them,” said Shen Huang telepathically.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment; he then nodded and replied mentally, “Got it.”
You Long flew over and said with a smile, “Junior brother, you’ll soon be going to the Divine Sea. As the champion, you’ve earned the right to stay there for seven days. Haha. Given your talent, you will surely find the mysteries of the Ascendant State. Let’s travel the universe together once you reach that level!”
Su Ping smiled too and replied, “Junior brother, you flatter me. It’s too soon to say that.”
“Not at all. It’ll be a few hundred years at most. Everything will be easy once you find an opportunity,” said You Long, all smiles.
Several hundred years were no different from several days in his eyes.
Therefore, he was already treating Su Ping as a young, future Ascendant State expert.
“Now that you’ve condensed a small world, you’re free to gather the power of faith. Do you know how? You’ve been granted a Tier Seven Identity, so you now have access to the top secret information gathered by the Federation,” You Long said.
Su Ping felt intrigued by this; he immediately searched on his watch.
Very soon, he found that he had been identified once his mind entered the virtual world.
He later found that the previous searcher became much more concise. On the other hand, abundant information would pop up the moment he typed something in.
Su Ping had never read some of the resulting information before.
It’s indeed relevant and comprehensive. Su Ping quickly read the information, soon realizing how to gather the power of faith. He had also gained a deeper understanding of the Star Lord State.
Star Lords had to grasp a complete path, then create a small world with its own particles, to later establish their own order.
The power of faith came from other creatures, which could be pets, friends, or even believers of different religions.
All of them would generate vague traces of the power of faith if they were fond of the Star Lords; the fonder they were, the stronger the power of faith would be. Pets would always deliver the most power of faith, because they were the closest.
However, the number of pets one could have was limited.
Therefore, he would need a lot of believers to gather the power of faith!
Many Star Lords chose to become masters of complete solar systems, not just because they liked to show off, but because they would be allowed to absorb the inhabitants’ power of faith.
Once they were appointed as lords, they could have statues made in their dominions to promote themselves. Most lords would also establish religions to have people worship them as gods.
Since that’s the case, I have to be more famous and inspire more people to admire me in order to accumulate the power of faith.
Su Ping gradually realized what he had to do. Right then he suddenly detected streams of power that were floating towards him from the depths of space, like grains of sand; they sank and gathered in his small world.
Those glittering particles were soft, sacred and warm.
Su Ping realized it was the power of faith.
However… Where was the power coming from?
Right, I am the champion; my name must be spreading out. Qin Duhuang and the others are my old customers on the Blue Planet; they must be fond of me, and part of these grains must be coming from them!
Su Ping began to feel excited.
It was impossible for others to convey the power of faith to him without knowing what he looked like, while the power of faith coming from mere acquaintances was almost zero. Not even a billion of them would amount to what a loyal pet could send him.
Nevertheless, there were too many people in the universe.
The previous matches were broadcast in all of Silvy; ninety percent of the residents know me. The competition rounds in the Golden Star Zone have yet to spread out, that is why very few people know me there. People from other star zones would probably only know me by name. No matter; the power of faith from Silvy is already enough!
Su Ping sensed that the warm grains of sand seemed to be infinite; they kept floating to him from deeper spaces, ignoring the distance in between.
He was only able to detect the power of faith after he condensed a small world. Now that it had taken shape, the streams of golden grains were automatically absorbed by his small world.
Aside from the tiny grains of sand, Su Ping also saw spots of light that were as large as sesame seeds.
Those were obviously coming from people who were familiar with him.
There were also spots of light as big as little fingers, which drifted from the void behind Su Ping’s back.
Su Ping found that such spots of light were rather familiar. They seemed to originate from his pets.
The stronger they are, the more power of faith they’ll send me. I wonder if my master will give me any power of faith resource. He technically can, but he doesn’t seem to be ready to hand me any. After all, the power of faith can’t be given away without friendliness and devotion. My master is too proud, Su Ping thought.
He detected a lot of strangers from the power of faith streaming his way. His master wasn’t providing any.
Nor was You Long.
Su Jin’er’s aura, on the other hand, was mixed in, but it was as insignificant as the basic grains of sand.
Aside from that, Su Ping also sensed the auras from Joanna, Green Lady, and some others.
There was also Tang Ruyan.
To Su Ping’s surprise, Tang Ruyan—who was much weaker than Joanna and Green Lady—was producing as much power of faith as Joanna did, and only a bit less than Green Lady’s share.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment as he stared at the spots of light which were as big as fingers; each of them represented the power of faith of millions of people.
After all, the faith of those people was quite vague and fragile; it could easily be blown apart by the wind.
Su Ping automatically learned how to utilize and collect the power of faith the moment he began to detect it.
His search results also produced methods to condense the power of faith so that it could be used.
Su Ping tried condensing it, and found that the vague faith of ten million people could be condensed into a single, larger stream of faith!
As for the power of faith given by Joanna, Tang Ruyan and the Little Skeleton, each could be condensed into single, independent streams!
Green Lady’s share was enough to produce two streams!
Su Ping knew that a strong individual acting friendly towards him, could potentially be enough to offer one faith stream.
Said powerhouses would produce two streams after their friendship deepened.
His train of thought made him think about Green Lady, who was as close to him as Joanna was. However, Joanna was only a reincarnation and her power had yet to grow further; on the other hand, Green Lady was an Ascendant, and her power was much greater.
It seems that I have to become more famous in the universe. I also need to make friends with the terrifying guys in the cultivation sites. Su Ping’s eyes glittered.
The system’s cultivation sites undoubtedly had the strongest experts in the universe.
The Ascendant State referee dispelled the void battlefield while Su Ping pondered and condensed the power of faith. The man addressed the top ten finalists, “We’re going to the Divine Sea. Follow me.”
He pulled Su Ping and the others to him while he spoke. Then, he bowed in the palace’s general direction before he dashed away.
