Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2055 - 2044: Nonbelievers

The Magic Crystal Stones, all together, amount to fewer than a hundred pieces, and most are low-level Magic Crystal Stones.The top echelon of the Church of Light, everyone's private little treasury combined is less than one-tenth of the Pope's collection.

The quantity doesn't compare, and the quality is even more incomparable.

In these estates, the most found items are naturally those ragged Holy Artifacts.

Although jokingly referred to as such, Ning Fan holds the thought that mosquito legs are still meat, and has no intention of leaving them behind.

He painstakingly moved all the Holy Artifacts to the Pope's estate on the first floor.

It's not convenient to take them away now, but when time allows, Ning Fan will surely have the Shadow Squad move all these Holy Artifacts away.

One must know that these Holy Artifacts can actually leave scratches on Shining Stones while keeping the sword blade intact.

It's imaginable that all of them are Divine weapons of Splitting Hair precision.

All Holy Artifacts combined can form a complete set of about fifty.

The fifty sets here refer to a full-body set including Battle Armor, Battle Boots, Battle Helmet, and both long and short weapons for offense and defense.

"It's a pity! Only Holy Power can maximize the efficacy of Holy Artifacts."

If it weren't for this, Ning Fan believes Vivian wouldn't be so generous, giving them to him for free.

Vivian belongs to the Dark Series Dragon Clan and is restrained by Holy Power in terms of attributes. If she wore Holy Artifact Battle Armor, it would be like putting on a thorny coat—hurting herself before harming the enemy.

At this moment, Vivian was speaking sarcastically, "What use is moving this scrap iron? Such weapons won't hurt Divine Spirits."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan almost choked on his saliva. Only if he floated up would he go looking to test blades on Divine Spirits.

"Since you don't want them, then give them all to me."

"No problem."

As soon as the words fell, Vivian regretted it, realizing she'd lost quite a bit of jewelry.

It took at least ten trips before Ning Fan could pack all the Holy Artifacts.

Therefore, the Church of Light's years of collection ends up entirely in the hands of this one person and one dragon, and the accounts are settled.

Of course, Ning Fan would not forget the top-level Magic Crystal Stones; it's just slightly challenging to coax them back from Vivian.

When transporting the last package of Holy Artifacts back to the estate on the first floor, Ning Fan clearly felt the concentration of Holy Power had decreased considerably.

Ning Fan wondered, "Could it be that I broke the restrictions on the door, causing Holy Power to dissipate and neutralize?"

"It's not for that reason."

Vivian looked to the top of the third floor, where a hole had appeared at the Tower Tip, and the Angel Wings originally embedded in it have now entered Ning Fan's pocket.

"The abundance of Holy Power here is due to a Magic Formation that refines the Power of Faith into Holy Power. Now that you've taken the formation's core, the Array naturally fails."

"This is what you meant earlier by intercepting Power of Faith."

Ning Fan nonchalantly said, "Intercept if you must. The God King of Light doesn't care about this bit of Power of Faith and even offsets the cost himself."

"Humph. Do you think 'Divine Grace Like the Sea, Divine Might Like Prison' is just a joke? Rewards from Divine Spirits, mortals can certainly accept. But the result of embezzlement is only one: the soul forever wailing under the burning of Divine Fire."

"Perhaps it's the God King of Light who permits the Pope to utilize Power of Faith."

"That's absolutely impossible. Otherwise, he wouldn't use Angel Wings as the formation's core; using the efficiency of refining with Divine Seed directly would be tens of thousands of times higher."

Ning Fan was moved, "Then does it mean as long as there are believers, Angel Wings can be used to convert Power of Faith into Holy Power?"

If that's indeed possible, then the treasure in his hands becomes valuable.

"Ning Fan, listen to me."

Even without seeing Vivian's serious expression, Ning Fan knew just from the tone that Vivian was serious this time.

"Power of Faith to Divine Spirits is akin to a forbidden treat. The cost of stealing it is not something you can bear. If it's non-believers, as long as it's not discovered, it's fine.

But if believers are forcibly converted into your followers, the consequence is only one—endless divine warfare."

Vivian solemnly admonished, "You mustn't undertake such actions."

Ning Fan pondered, "Even the Origin World is no exception?"

"Indeed no exception. You've seen it; the Church of Light in the Origin World has been supported by the God King of Light for thousands of years. It's hard to guarantee he doesn't have other means to deal with you."

Vivian continued, "The things we're doing now, the God King of Light is unaware. But once a believer defects, it surely cannot escape his perception."

Ning Fan chuckled dryly, "Then just don't recruit followers from the Church of Light."

"But how can you ensure other sects don't have a True God in the background?"

"Uh… finding totally non-believers should be fine, right."

"But how can you guarantee that they're genuine non-believers?" Vivian shook her head, "Perhaps one prayer, one baptism, one recitation of a divine name, and this person is marked by a Divine Spirit as a quasi-believer."

"But some people believe in multiple sects simultaneously, how does that count?"

Ning Fan wondered, "Wouldn't divine wars break out every day then?"

Take the Church of Light for instance, countless people have been to the chapel, for various reasons, but certainly not with the identity of a Holy Church believer.

For example, newlyweds choosing to marry in a chapel might not necessarily be religious or could belong to another sect.

But according to Vivian, as long as they undergo baptism, then the vast majority of people worldwide unwittingly become quasi-believers of the Church of Light.

"You refer to pseudo-believers who haven't generated Power of Faith. Such individuals, no matter how many sects they join, won't attract Divine Spirits' attention."

Vivian shifted her tone, "But once Power of Faith emerges, it will draw a Divine Spirit's notice."

"If they belong to the same divine lineage, things will naturally be peaceful. If not, then the Divine Spirits of these sects will intervene."

Ning Fan interjected, "And then divine warfare ensues?"

"How could a divine war break out merely over a handful of believers?"

Vivian sneered, "The underlying matter is just various exchanges of interests. It's your turn this time, then mine next; this understanding has long been established."

"What if there's no God King backing them?"

Only those on the same level have the qualification for interest exchanges.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of who has the bigger fist that talks.

"Then, naturally, it's primarily about subjugation."

"What if they don't want to be enlisted?"

Vivian morosely countered, "What do you think?"

Seeing Ning Fan silent, Vivian calmly stated, "Converting non-believers into followers, if they're truly non-believers, it's manageable. If luck is unfavorable and you encounter a quasi-believer, once you start refining Power of Faith, the moment for your decision arrives, and the Divine Spirit behind that quasi-believer will certainly come knocking."

Ning Fan angrily said, "Divine Spirits are too overbearing."

"Naturally overbearing. Otherwise, what would make them Divine Spirits? People always think True Gods are devoid of desire—it's truly laughable."
