[Name: Faith Explosion]

[Type: Skill]

[Quality: S]

[Special Effect: Explode Faith]

[Minimum Use Conditions: Top 100,000 in first full Player event; Be worshipped]

[Introduction: Ignite a point of faith, gain one million points of faith; faith gained through ignition cannot be re-ignited]

[Remark: One of the foundational stones of the strength power system]

Turquoise Pool said: "With this skill, Qing Lan's 'Gu She Divine Woman' should be able to receive a significant enhancement and not be limited to thirty seconds of learning time per day."

'Gu She Divine Woman' has a 'Low Level Omniscience' special effect, enhancing information processing capability tenfold. During non-task periods, Yang Qinglan uses it daily for study.

At first, the effect was excellent, but now it's no longer effective.

Just like human knowledge, as technological civilization develops, learning only existing knowledge consumes a lifetime, leaving less and less time for innovation.

Yang Qinglan now finds even sorting thoughts takes more than thirty seconds, let alone attaining new insights on this basis.

But it's not completely useless.

How could using tenfold information processing to organize one's knowledge be useless?

Even ordinary people can review the past and know the future.

"'Gu She Divine Woman' is already at S-level," Li Changzhou mused. "Even with the S-level 'Faith Explosion', Qing Lan's basic foundation of faith might struggle to upgrade to S+ level."

"S+ level, how is that possible?" The red-dressed white-hair beauty retorted unhappily, "Use your brain, I'm talking about duration."

"That is possible." Li Changzhou nodded his head.

Yang Qinglan took out the faith-condensed Golden Cloud and with a jade-like fine finger, pointed.

The Golden Cloud suddenly swelled; the four instinctively retreated with Li Changzhou guarding the three in front, his dark hand ready for action.

Boom!

A fierce burst of Qi erupted, snowflakes flying as Yang Qinglan reached out and grabbed a Jade Ruyi from the void, then swung it accordingly.

The snow was brushed aside, flowers blooming, grass flourishing, creating a path of spring over the snow that stretched to the horizon.

The four didn't look; they were fixated on the Golden Cloud.

The Golden Cloud rapidly disintegrated, like a woolen sweater unraveling.

The vast sky gained an endless layer of golden gauze, then shining stars appeared atop the sands.

"It feels like a cosmic explosion," said Li Changzhou, staring upward.

These stars, condensed by a high density of faith, much like the stars and planets in the universe.

Yang Qinglan cradled the Ruyi in her left arm, her right hand pointing at a star in the sky, pushing it downward.

The falling star transformed three feet from the ground into a golden Lotus Throne.

[Name: Faith Lotus Platform]

[Effect: Enables high-speed flying without consuming mana]

Yang Qinglan pointed again, this time linking dozens of stars, outlining them into a Big Cauldron, resembling a smaller Jade Cauldron.

This faith cauldron made from stars stood mountain-sized in the void, immensely intimidating.

[Name: Faith Elixir Cauldron]

[Effect: Increases success rate of making A-level or below elixir pills, enhances the efficacy of A-level or below elixir pills]

Yang Qinglan pointed once more.

Emerald Bee Sword, Dawn Mirror, Imperial Mecha, Jade hairpin, Moonlight Palace Lantern, Treasure Horse Carriage, Heavenly Calamity, Sky Flipping Seal... These items were embedded in the sky like constellations.

Each possessed four to five times the original power.

"No wonder the Tao Ancestor transformed into God in the West to research the power of faith," Turquoise Pool sighed.

If mana is omnipotent, then the power of faith is achieving wishes at will.

The Tao Ancestor God, at the limits of mana and faith, truly lived up to his claim of omnipotence to some extent.

Yang Qinglan gently spread her sleeves and flew into the sky like a petal.

The golden faith Lotus Flower followed her, spontaneously hovering beneath her as she sat.

Yang Qinglan wore a white gauzy dress woven with mist, waist tied with palace strands, large sleeves fluttering, surrounded by divine white light, seated centrally within the golden starry sky.

Behind her, constellations connect into infinite treasures, resembling statues of constellations.

Her ethereal elegance was like that of the starry sky's master, God among Gods.

"With my current power of faith, it is enough to sustain Gu She Divine Woman for three months; in full combat, it can last a day and night." Her voice was cold yet vast, her authority immeasurable.

Faith contains countless hopes and wishes from worshippers; without maintaining a cold, lofty attitude, one could easily be influenced and turn into a deity that fulfills everyone's hopes.

Such a deity might be even stronger since each worshipper believes their god is omnipotent, but they would lose their sense of self.

Moreover, when worshippers relinquish their self and lower their admiration, it naturally gives the gods innate authority.

"Your strengths have greatly increased this time." Li Changzhou started pondering how to enhance his abilities.

"Don't you have the 'Fake Winner State' attack, elder brother?"

"With enough faith, I can use Gu She Divine Woman for a long period; next, the improvement in ability will accelerate, and with the 'Choice' effect, you can also benefit partially." Yang Qinglan descended from the sky, still in white divine clothing of the palace attire, permanently in the 'Goddess' status.

"I too have a way to rapidly improve my abilities." Turquoise Pool giggled, covering her mouth with a red sleeve.

Her demeanor reminded Li Changzhou of a line from "Journey to the West"—She's not shy; she's drooling.

He knew Turquoise Pool referred to the "Favored Concubine" effect and the "King of Black Fog"; combining them would enhance their abilities once.

There are no restrictions; as long as the body can withstand it, ability enhancement has no limits.
