127: Counting the Harvest: Two Ways to Become a God

Tsk, all the coordinates are gone.

After capturing over a hundred Taiyi Alliance Lords in one go, Li Feng discovered that all the coordinates of the other Lords had disappeared.

The Lords of the Taiyi Alliance were not fools.

On the contrary, they were all elites among humans.

Furthermore, these Novice Lords had all joined a novice group.

Upon discovering that over a hundred companions had inexplicably left the group, they immediately understood that someone was targeting them.

And the first suspect was Li Feng.

Someone immediately guessed that Li Feng possessed an item that could collect other people's coordinates.

Then, a Lord applied to the Alliance for an item that could block coordinates.

This led to all the coordinate points on the compass of revenge disappearing after Li Feng had only captured a hundred people.

Never mind, I caught a big fish; the rest of the small fry are actually insignificant.

Thinking this, Li Feng led his Troops back to his territory.

As for Gerard and the other Lords, he threw them all into the dungeon on the first underground floor.

Since the castle was built, this was only the second time the dungeon had held Lords, and it was a hundred people at once.

In the dungeon of a primary castle, creatures below Tier 3, when imprisoned, have their combat power weakened by one hundred percent.

Including Gerard, all hundred of these Taiyi Alliance Lords were below Tier 3.

Therefore, the moment they were imprisoned in the dungeon, their fate was sealed; they couldn't even commit suicide if they wanted to.

After all, having combat power reduced by one hundred percent made one a cripple.

Even so, Li Feng was still extremely cautious.

He dispatched over a hundred Human Priests from the castle, having them guard the Lords one-on-one to prevent any accidents.

Returning to his room, Li Feng began to tally his gains.

Although this capture plan was cut short, the harvest was still quite abundant; at least Li Feng's efforts were repaid many times over.

The three basic resources totaled 500 million units.

This already exceeded Li Feng's initial expectations.

In his initial estimation, even if he captured hundreds of Lords, a harvest of one to two hundred million units of basic resources would be good.

The reason for such a large discrepancy was mainly that he calculated based on his own environment.

But in reality, no matter which world it is, the distribution of resources is very uneven.

The valley where Li Feng was located was already considered a resource-rich spot, but mainly rich in monster resources and forest resources.

Several coordinate clusters that Li Feng teleported to were located in various mines, where there were veins everywhere, from Tier 1 to Tier 12, everything imaginable.

And the Lords located there, their wealth was considerable, as one could imagine.

Li Feng had already saved the coordinates of these several mines.

He just waited for his castle to upgrade to intermediate level, then he would find a way to construct the Gate of War to collect resources.

The total gold coin harvest was about 100 million, with each person contributing an average of 1 million gold coins to Li Feng.

A total of 121 types of elite quality resources were harvested, totaling 1 million units.

A total of 31 types of legendary quality resources were harvested, totaling 30,000 units.

For epic quality resources, there were only 5 Space Holy Stones, all of which had already gone into Speite's stomach.

There were also various siege engines.

Ten legendary cannons, one hundred elite cannons, and one thousand ordinary cannons, all were siege weapons.

The previous failure made the Taiyi Alliance reflect deeply.

They knew Li Feng possessed the War Tech Tree, which could quickly repair city walls; the previous failure was also related to insufficient firepower.

So this time, they specifically prepared over a thousand cannons, just to be able to quickly break through the city walls, making it impossible for Li Feng to repair them.

However, this time, Li Feng did not give them a chance to approach the city walls at all.

The various siege engines they carried didn't even have time to be used and could only be abandoned on the spot.

The power of the cannons was immense; even an ordinary cannon could deal over a thousand points of damage with one shot.

All these cannons were kept by Li Feng for use in future wars.

As for the rest, siege vehicles, mobile arrow towers, catapults, and other siege engines, they were all destroyed and converted into resources.

Given they were called siege engines, one can imagine how massive these things were.

Moreover, the number that the Taiyi Alliance brought out to deal with Li Feng was quite astonishing.

If all were kept, they would take up too much space.

Furthermore, Li Feng didn't need these engines for sieges; he could just let his massive Troops charge head-on.

Therefore, these engines were meaningless in Li Feng's hands; it was better to destroy them and convert them into resources.

In addition, tens of thousands of various building blueprints were captured.

Most of them were ordinary buildings like houses.

However, there were also special buildings such as rockeries, fountains, arenas, and circuses.

But Li Feng currently had no use for these.

Generally speaking, those who would use such special blueprints were some top-tier Lords.

Top-tier Lords had two ways to become a god.

One was to take oneself as the foundation, with endless Troops as the base, to forcibly break through to the divine realm.

This method was the original path to godhood, and also the most difficult.

Not to mention the difficulty of gathering such a massive number of Troops, just to become a god by oneself, one must be bathed in Divine Fire.

Only by enduring the Divine Fire Tribulation and having one's life essence sublimated can one ultimately become a god.

This process was extremely perilous; a slight carelessness would result in being burned to ashes by the Divine Fire, turning into a handful of ashes, vanishing into thin air.

Thus, through the exploration of countless predecessors, a second path was created.

Building territory, expanding cities, and creating various facilities within the city.

As for the purpose, it was to allow intelligent beings to reside within them and worship oneself.

After many years of development, this method even had further optimization.

That was to have one intelligent being act as a Priest, leading dozens or hundreds of Troops to pray together, so that the Troops could also generate a faint power of faith; approximately ten Troops were equivalent to one intelligent being of the same tier.

When enough power of faith was collected, one could naturally transition to the position of a god.

According to Li Feng's understanding, over ninety percent of the gods on Earth became gods through this method.

However, this method of becoming a god also had significant drawbacks.

Because it relied on the power of faith to become a god, without having experienced the Divine Fire Tribulation oneself, one's combat power was much weaker compared to those who became gods through their own efforts.

Moreover, once too many of one's believers died or were injured.

At best, one's strength would weaken or regress.

At worst, one would directly fall from godhood and return to mortality.

This was also why, during the previous爭奪李楓 (struggle for Li Feng), Adams was initially aggressive, but immediately fled in a panic once the Dragon Country gods summoned Troops for a decisive battle.

He was a typical faith-based god, and moreover, one of those opportunistic individuals who had intelligent beings lead Troops to pray together.

Once a large number of Troops died, it would definitely affect him personally...
