[I know John Dawn.]
[They want to use my face to deceive John Dawn, to help collect faith.]
Because she couldn’t see, Layla Xalvadora wrote in a crooked manner, but she managed to simply explain what she knew.
She didn’t know what collecting faith meant, but she knew it surely wasn’t anything good.
At the time, she was knocked out by their magic, and in her daze, she heard someone saying this.
The opponent probably didn’t expect her to hear this, or perhaps they thought that even if she heard, there was nothing she could do about it.
Samuel Chalmers stood by the side the entire time, and when he saw the twisted words of faith on the paper, his eyes darkened slightly.
Gregory Xander knew what faith was all about; in this world, divine beings mostly exist by relying on people’s faith.
And in the modern world, divine beings have fallen, spiritual energy is scarce, largely because faith has been lost.
Years ago, a phrase to break feudal superstition saw temples across the country razed, and even with the popularity of "Inspiration," the existence of mysticism was reconfirmed, yet many still harbored skepticism.
If someone else had said they wanted to collect faith, Gregory Xander might have suspected that they hoped to make divine beings reappear.
But since the mastermind behind this is Elysia Xander and the Black Mist Organization, it’s definitely not that simple.
They don’t have such good intentions either.
Scarlett Jennings thought of something, took out her phone, and after checking it, voiced her suspicion,
"She must be talking about this."
On her phone screen was none other than Lucienne Xander’s personal Weibo account homepage.
Thanks to the show’s popularity, plus Lucienne Xander herself and her CP fanbase with John Dawn, her personal account amassed nearly a million new followers from the first episode alone.
Even compared to Scarlett Jennings’ own numbers back then, this isn’t far off.
If Lucienne Xander indeed aims to emulate Scarlett Jennings, given Scarlett’s current fan size, one can only imagine how many followers Lucienne can gather before the show ends.
If those followers are the faith they intend to collect...
"They’re trying to create a god."
Scarlett Jennings stated her guess.
The moment those words left her lips, everyone in the ward couldn’t help but feel startled.
Gregory Xander rarely failed to maintain his composure, showing an expression of shock,
"Create a god?! Just with her?"
Gregory Xander’s tone held no reservation in his disdain for Elysia Xander,
"Her, she might as well create a wicked god."

Calling me?
Despite the surprise, no one doubted Scarlett Jennings’ so-called guess, in fact, they found this god-creating method very plausible.
It’s not their fault for thinking this way, since in modern society, god-creating methods aren’t rare.
Nowadays, even a pyramid scheme leader can reap a hundred or two hundred units of faith power.
Because whenever someone believes, faith power is spawned.
Most divine beings in this world are born of humans, but more often, the faith spawned gives rise not to true divine beings, but to wicked gods.
As Scarlett Jennings knows, the largest wicked god eliminated by the Mystical Sect to date came from a rampant Cult of Evil about twenty years ago.
The cult’s adherents were widespread, counting nearly ten million followers, whose faith ultimately birthed a wicked god.
Back then, the Mystical Sect had to dispatch dozens of elders and hundreds of masters to barely wipe them out.
This incident became a classic case in their academy, both Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander are well aware of it.
In the present day, thanks to the internet, gathering faith is even easier.
"Although I don’t understand why they’re choosing to use living people to collect faith, assuming these followers could each represent a unit of faith power...
