Chapter 4507 4509 [The Horrible Truth]

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five years, Xiang Nan has been promoted from brigadier general to major general, with an annual salary of three thousand pounds.

That’s definitely a terrific income in Port Royal.

But Xiang Nan didn't care at all.

During these years, he mainly practiced martial arts, using forging meditation methods to constantly temper and strengthen his spirit and develop his potential.

On the other hand, it helps the sea goddess Colibuso to recruit believers and expand the faith.

Today, the faith of Colibuso has spread all over the world, including America, Australia, Africa, Asia, and Europe, with nearly 100 million believers.

This also made Kolibuso very happy, and she was willing to reward Xiang Nan well.

"If you really want to reward me, can you give me a soul-defending artifact?" Xiang Nan asked tentatively.

"Soul defense?" Kolibuso was stunned, then waved his hand, "There is no such thing."

"No? No way?" Xiang Nan was very surprised when he heard it, "Then how do you defend your soul?"

"It can't be prevented, otherwise there wouldn't be gods falling." Kolibuso waved his hand and said, "The gods' consciousness will also be injured, or even completely destroyed. At that time, the gods can only hide and recover, or simply disappear into thin air."

"How does the god recover after his consciousness is injured?" Xiang Nan asked curiously again.

"When God's consciousness is injured, it absorbs the consciousness of believers to replenish it. The more steadfast and loyal the believer is, the more his consciousness will be sucked away," explained Kolibuso.

"If the believers' spiritual consciousness is absorbed, won't they die?" Xiang Nan asked immediately after hearing this.

"They will indeed die, but they will die happily. They will believe that they are called by God and will ascend to the kingdom of God to enjoy bliss after death, so their death will not be painful at all." Colibuso smiled.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he felt a chill all over his body.

I didn't expect these gods to be so terrifying. Not only did they treat believers as crops and absorb their power of faith, but after being injured, they also treated believers as blood bags and absorbed their spiritual consciousness to repair their own spiritual consciousness.

No wonder no matter what god they are, they all like to develop believers and promote faith. It turns out that believers are so useful to them.

However, those believers do not know the true face of these gods. They think that although they are dead, they are called by God and will ascend to the kingdom of God after death. Therefore, they die willingly and even wish to die for God.

"Oh my God, oh my God...I didn't expect it to be so dark?" He couldn't help but sigh.

"What's so dark about it? All mortals will die eventually, it's just a matter of time." Colibuso curled his lips and said, "And most people die in pain, fear, sadness, and reluctance.

Dying for God is indeed joyful, blissful, and glorious. Even your loved ones will be happy for it. Compared to this, sacrificing for God is actually the best choice.”

Xiang Nan blinked his eyes. He didn't expect that Kolibuso could come up with such a set of twisted logic. And it must be said that his twisted logic was indeed quite intimidating. He believed that it could fool many foolish men and women.

But Xiang Nan would never be fooled. He didn't want to become a blood bag of some god.

... "Besides absorbing the spiritual consciousness of believers, is there no other way?" Xiang Nan asked curiously, "For example, some kind of skill that can repair spiritual consciousness?"

"Yes, they absorb the souls of believers in their own kingdom of God." Kolibuso explained, "Otherwise, why do you think God would guide believers to enter his own kingdom of God after death?"

"I thought it was for them to enjoy themselves." Xiang Nan shuddered.

I didn't expect gods to be so terrifying. When believers are alive, they have to contribute their faith to them, and after death their souls will be absorbed by them to strengthen their own consciousness.

"Before they are absorbed, they will indeed enjoy happiness and be bathed in the grace of God." Colibuso nodded, "But when God is in danger, that's when they need to make sacrifices."

"No wonder. It's just like Odin's Hall of Valor, isn't it?" Xiang Nan suddenly realized, "Brave Viking warriors enter the Hall of Valor after death and contribute their last bit of strength to God at the twilight of the gods."

"Yes, this is the best example." Kolibuso nodded.

"Then can mortals use this method? For example, absorbing other people's souls to replenish their own souls?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"In principle, it is possible, but the souls of mortals are very fragile. Absorbing the souls of others can easily shake your own soul.

After all, your soul has no anchor. When you absorb too many souls, you may forget who you are and completely lose yourself.

God's priesthood and believers are anchors that stabilize God's rationality. Even so, there are countless gods who have gone mad in the spirit world." Kolibuso explained.

"It doesn't matter, I still want to know." Xiang Nan nodded, "Even if it's your reward to me."

"It's still too dangerous. How about I give you a magical artifact?" Colibuso waved his hand and said, "The Staff of Dionysus, a symbol of prosperity, wealth, enjoyment and pleasure. As long as you hold it, you will always be happy. Or the Staff of Asclepius, which can not only cure diseases, but also bring people back to life."

"Your collection is quite rich, but I don't want either of these two artifacts." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Relying on external forces is ultimately limited. I still prefer to rely on myself."

"You are really stubborn." Seeing Xiang Nan's insistence, Kolibuso had no choice but to nod and teach Xiang Nan how to absorb other people's souls. "Remember not to use it indiscriminately, otherwise, you will easily forget who you are."

Xiang Nan nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

The method taught by Calibuso is indeed very evil, absorbing the souls of others to strengthen oneself.

But it is also very dangerous. After absorbing too many souls, it is easy to lose yourself. It is like multiple personality splits. In the end, you don't even know who you are.

Even gods may go crazy and lose their own nature by absorbing too many souls, let alone humans.

But Xiang Nan still wanted to learn.

After all, the power of the body always has its limits, but the power of the soul has no limits.

Moreover, he has the experience of retaining life memories more than a dozen times, which is equivalent to absorbing the souls of more than a dozen people, and he has not made any major mistakes, so he has a certain degree of confidence in himself.

It's just that absorbing other people's souls to strengthen oneself is indeed a somewhat evil method.

Therefore, Xiang Nan decided that even if he had to absorb the souls, he would absorb the souls of those who had committed heinous crimes and deserved the punishment, so as to avoid harming innocent people.

"It seems that there are several pirates in the prison of Royal Port who are ready to be hanged." Xiang Nan suddenly thought.
