In fact, from the method used by the Xingyue gods to fight against the decline of the age of gods and the disappearance of the true ether, Ye Ting thought of a world with great names.
The Forgotten Realms, also known as the world of Faerûn, the world of Abel Toril.
In that world, the original gods did not need faith to survive. However, because of this, the gods began to pay no attention to their believers and played with mortals wantonly, so the god Io above their heads became angry..
So after the turbulent years when the gods were temporarily demoted to the mortal world, in order to let the gods focus on their duties, Io linked the divine power of the gods to the number and degree of their believers.
If a god loses his followers, his power will become weaker and weaker, and he will even gradually die.
From then on, for God, believers were no longer dispensable worshipers, but the source of their power.
Think about it carefully, is it very similar to the current situation in the moon world?
In the age of gods filled with true ether, the gods themselves do not need believers. Their strength comes from the mastery of concepts rather than the power of faith. However, when the true ether disappears and the age of gods ends, the faith of mortals becomes their last This is not a sad thing.
Regarding the power from mortal faith, Ye Ting also did some research after returning from Egypt.
As the founder-level figure who popularized magic in Egypt, the legend of Ye Ting was actually deified in Egypt together with Nitocris.
The difference is that, perhaps because of political factors, or perhaps because he dislikes the foreign men around the Egyptian female pharaoh, Ye Ting's identity as an Egyptian sage and Nitocris's assistant, no matter at the time Even after the subsequent Pharaohs succeeded to the throne, they were ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
Compared with him, a foreign sage, on the one hand, the Egyptians care more about the greatness of the Pharaoh, and more Egyptians think that it is a small matter for a foreign visitor to assist the Egyptian Pharaoh.
In fact, it is for this reason that most matters related to Ye Ting appear in myths and unofficial histories about Nitocris.
In the latter, the image of Ye Ting is usually that of a mage, while in the former, Ye Ting is called the god Thoth walking on the earth.
Yes, Ye Ting's image has been sublimated to a god in the eyes of some Egyptians - especially those Egyptian magicians.
And this is another reason why the image of Ye Ting, a sage from the East, is not shown in official history.
In the eyes of many scholars who study Egypt, Thoth is the Egyptian god of wisdom. In Egyptian history, the so-called saying that Thoth assisted the female pharaoh Nitocris is just that the ancients believed that this female pharaoh had wisdom and valued wisdom. It's just an exaggerated description.
All in all, Ye Ting was indeed praised as a god in Egypt, and this legend has endured for a long time.
By the way, in addition to Ye Ting, as the goddess of the magic network, Tui also has her own god name in Egypt.
In order to prevent the Heliopolis god from her origin, Hecate's Egyptian deity was named Isis.
As her name spread, she gradually became the goddess of life, magic, marriage and fertility in ancient Egyptian mythology, and even became one of the Nine Pillars of the Helios at the end of the Egyptian Empire.
Closer to home, because of being praised as a god, Ye Ting did gain the power of faith.
Although generally speaking, even outside beings cannot use this power at all, Ye Ting is obviously an exception.
First of all, although he is not a god, he is loved by the goddesses. The divinity in him from the goddesses is even comparable to that of a weaker god.
Secondly, he mastered the third method of soul materialization, which made him particularly sensitive to the power from the spirit and soul.
Therefore, he can master the power of faith to a certain extent, which is quite obscure in the eyes of others.
In fact, according to the theory of the third method, the soul is a perpetual motion machine: the human body needs constant food to provide energy to drive, but human consciousness does not require any energy to flow, but the soul is perpetually moving. This is because This is indirectly proven in necromancy.
Based on this, then the various emotions generated by the soul are also a form of energy.
Happiness, sadness, hatred, pain... any emotion can be manifested in the form of energy, which is why magic requires absolute rationality to cast, but the emotion of jealousy can make magic produce effects beyond its limits.
However, generally speaking, this energy can only be used for yourself.
Every soul is an independent being, so emotional energy from others is a poison to anyone.
After absorbing this energy, even the strongest and most courageous beings can only endure the pollution of this energy. Most people with insufficient quality will even become crazy because of it, and even gods are no exception—— In this regard, all the evil in this world is a typical example.
However, there is one exception, and that is worship.
Admiration, admiration, fantasy, such emotions are not the soul's thoughts about itself at all, but a prayer for another existence. Such emotional energy is not harmful or even beneficial to the person being worshiped.
Such emotions and thoughts are enough to feed the gods.
After gaining this power as the god Thoth, Ye Ting analyzed a lot from it.
He even thought of this special existence in the Xingyue world - heroic spirits.
The power of heroic spirits comes from their history and legends.
History refers to its actual experience, while legend refers to its popularity and popularity.
The so-called popularity utilizes the power of worship, belief and fantasy.
When a Heroic Spirit is summoned as a Servant, popularity becomes an important factor that restricts the strength of the Servant. The closer it is to the land (cultural circle) that is the stage of the Legend of the Heroic Spirit and the higher its popularity, the more powerful it will be.
The"powerful" mentioned here means that the strength and equipment are closer to what is described in the legend.
Why do I say this? Because even if the power of faith and worship is not poisonous, there are limitations to its use.
The user can only exercise this energy based on the fantasy of the energy source, otherwise the utilization of the energy will be greatly reduced.
In short, a believer's belief in the God of Fire can only allow the God of Fire to exist as the God of Fire, because the God of Fire in his fantasy is the god who controls fire, so through the power of these beliefs, the God of Fire God cannot control water either.
In the same way, even if Ye Ting can use the power of the Egyptians' belief in the god Thoth, he can only use it to activate ordinary divine magic and various methods belonging to the god Thoth - such as manipulating the moon, using magic, and granting Wisdom - this is the power that people imagine the god Thoth to have. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
