Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8533: Stable_1

Capítulo 8533: Stable_1

While the Dark Ghost Sect hunted for the island constructed by the Ghostwind Bandits, Zhao Hai's vessel glided steadily across the Blood Sea. Inside the boat, a touch of disorder lingered as the fresh recruits adjusted to their new surroundings. The individuals who had yielded to Zhao Hai's forces were stunned by the boat's interior—they hadn't imagined it would be so vast, and the conditions far superior to their former island home. Even better, they could gather power of faith right there, leaving the surrendered ones utterly astonished.

Over recent days, Zhao Hai focused on integrating them into the fold. He also made sure they grasped the regulations under his command. Performers from earlier times earned promotions, particularly the capable and mighty ones, whom Zhao Hai elevated straight to mid-level leadership roles.

For those who excelled yet lacked sufficient power, Zhao Hai ensured fair treatment. He supplied them with extra resources and granted elevated positions, such as designating them as reserve members of the Ghost Wind Team or the Bloodsucker Team. Should they build enough strength, they could seamlessly enter the Ghost Wind Little Yin or the Bloodsucker Team, boosting their standing considerably.

Currently, in the boat's space, Chang Jun and his core followers held the top ranks. Having stuck with Zhao Hai from the start, their unwavering loyalty secured their supreme positions. Trailing them were the Bloodsucker Team, Ghost Wind Team, and Divine Arms Battalion, all enjoying lofty status. Contributors who shone but weren't powerhouse types gained prestige by joining as reserves in these elite units. Within the boat space, nobody dared cross them.

Zhao Hai rewarded merits and disciplined errors alike. This approach spurred the surrendered to strive harder, with new Island Lord-level powerhouses especially eager to shine. They recognized that strong showings meant more power of faith—a boon no Island Lord-level expert could ignore.

Zhao Hai's mastery over the power of faith stemmed largely from Laura and her companions. At first, Laura and the rest overlooked it, lacking means to investigate. That's why the power of faith stayed off their radar.

With Zhao Hai ascending to Island Lord status, they could finally probe the power of faith, filling them with delight. They dove into research and uncovered control methods. They learned that depending solely on faithful slaves' prayers yielded scant, impure power of faith. Plus, with numerous Island Lord-level experts in the boat space, having believers pray to every divine symbol would overwhelm them—days wouldn't suffice, diluting each person's share.

Eventually, they devised a solution: the totem pole, an ancient relic few employed anymore. Yet Laura and her team found totems the swiftest for amassing power of faith, delivering the purest yields through daily veneration, which thrilled them.

Next, Laura and the others delved deeper into totems. They noted a totem pole featured multiple layers, dominated by the chief totem with lesser ones beneath. Though weaker, these subordinates still drew substantial power of faith. Engraving Zhao Hai and his allies onto the totem pole, then having believers honor it, would net them abundant totems.

This idea sparked excitement in Laura and the group. They launched trials, etching Zhao Hai and others onto a totem pole for worship. Initial efforts failed; no power of faith flowed through the totem. Scrutinizing it closely, they saw direct human carvings blocked collection.

Further analysis revealed direct portraits wouldn't work, but abstract figures could—if linked to one's Dharma image. This connection enabled faith gathering via the totem.

Thrilled by this, Laura and her team refined their approach and confirmed its success. Gathering all Island Masters' Dharma images for totem pillar engravings allowed collective power of faith collection. Higher placements yielded more faith; lower ones less. This breakthrough let them manage faith distribution by totem positioning, serving as a control mechanism.

Thus, Island Lord experts hustled to boost their standing with Zhao Hai, earning better rewards and more power of faith to enhance their might.

Soon, Laura, Zhao Hai, and the others learned totems served beyond faith collection—they gathered intel too. Fulfilling reasonable requests from worshippers amplified faith inflow, a boon for Zhao Hai's circle.

For ages, Blood Sea Realm denizens dismissed faithful slaves' thoughts, viewing them as powerless faith sources, worlds apart and unworthy of notice. The totem pillar, however, bridged this gap, fostering deeper understanding—profoundly valuable.

By knowing and aiding followers, they granted benefits, accelerating follower cultivation to reach upper spaces as true cultivators, growing stronger. In turn, faithful slaves supplied richer faith, empowering Island Lords—a mutual triumph.

Still, Zhao Hai had to ease them into this gradually for acceptance. Blood Sea traditions dehumanized faithful slaves; sudden shifts would jar them. Time was needed.

Luckily, Young Master Zhao paused expansions. Blood River Sea sect hauls left resources plentiful. The realm produced more, and Zhu Yong's network enabled smooth external trades. No more raids were necessary.

Devouring the entire Blood River Sea had sated them somewhat. Digestion required time—assimilating captives into loyal forces for future battles, avoiding defeats. Thus, Zhao Hai shelved robbing, focusing on nurturing gains.

Chang Jun and allies, aware of this, stayed silent and aided Zhao Hai in steadying the boat's spatial city. Their teamwork kept chaos mild, fostering stability.

In Zhao Hai's study, Chang Jun and key figures gathered. They occupied the familiar mountaintop, now bustling with residents. Beyond the Bloodsucker Team, Ghost Wind Team, and Divine Arms Battalion, all surrendered Island Lord-level experts resided here. With team sizes swelling, the 100,000-capacity site brimmed. Other yielded cultivators settled on nearby peaks, the vast space sufficing.

Zhao Hai eyed Chang Jun and the group. "During this time, the realm's been somewhat turbulent, but fret not—it's nearing an end. Once we secure the realm's order, we're set. We abound in resources, so priority is stabilizing the realm. Though we can't reveal our Blood Slaughter Sect ties yet, full stability allows sharing select truths with chosen few, not all."

Chang Jun and the others nodded, grasping Zhao Hai's intent fully.
