Hearing the man's words, Jiang Cheng's father asked, "What do you mean?"
The man slowly explained, "This approach does indeed solve the biggest problem of Spirit Ascension: the key issue that it can only be performed through the body!"
"As long as this approach is used, there is hope of no longer having to sacrifice the body."
"But... I've calculated in detail, the amount of Faith Power needed..."
"It's almost an impossible task."
"If we start planning now and then guide the citizens of a high-tier city to have faith in the person who wants to perform Spirit Ascension, it would take at least forty to fifty years."
"This isn't even considering how to avoid the Federation's scrutiny, or how to gather that Power of Faith."
"So..." he shook his head, "It's difficult, too difficult. At least my generation can't accomplish it."
Upon hearing the man's words, Jiang Cheng's father tapped his fingers lightly on the table, seemingly lost in thought.
After a moment, he suddenly spoke slowly, "What if we cooperate with a demigod?"
"According to the information we've got, although it's rare, it's not unheard of for other demigods to do what the Flower God of Emerald City has done."
"What if we cooperate with them? Have them transfer the Faith Power they've collected to you?"
The man shook his head again, "Impossible."
"I never understood what demigods needed Faith Power for."
"But clearly, the Power of Faith is just as important to them. We can't pay a price that would tempt them."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng's father wanted to say something further, the man seemed to guess what Jiang Cheng's father was about to say and spoke directly, "Even if we comfort them in the real world or coerce them, it would be useless."
"Aside from the cost, there's also the issue of who the Power of Faith belongs to."
"The Power of Faith is not some unowned Power of Laws."
"It is the Wish Power and Faith of believers in a particular deity or totem. It belongs to someone."
"Besides the deity or soul worshipped by those believers, or people in a subordinate relationship to that deity, no one else can use it."
"Do you think they would agree to serve as my servants, or for me to serve as theirs?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's father fell silent for a while and then said, "Neither is acceptable."
With the conversation reaching this point, he relaxed instead. Smiling, he said, "Although in the end, we still have to use the ordinary path of Spirit Ascension... but no matter what. Having waited these ten years, at least I've come to a conclusion."
"I can also proceed with Spirit Ascension with a clear conscience."
Hearing the man's words, Jiang Cheng's father nodded and then spoke in a deep voice, "Your grandmother's health is getting worse and worse."
"You really can't keep being willful. Ascend as soon as possible, achieve Yang Transformation, and even Mortality-Shedding. Support the next generation."
The man laughed nonchalantly, "Don't worry. Yang Transformation, Mortality-Shedding, they are a piece of cake. My ten years of accumulation haven't been for nothing."
"Wait for my good news," he said.
With that, he stood up and left the study with an air of nonchalance.
Meanwhile, looking at the departing figure of the man, Jiang Cheng's father sitting on the sofa had a dark and inscrutable look in his eyes, "Faith Ascension...the true path... "
Emerald City, in the room where Fang Ze was located.
The Flower God hiding under Fang Ze's bedsheets was also greedily absorbing the pure aura emanating from Fang Ze!
Initially, the aura from Fang Ze, which was of the same origin as hers, was rather weak, and she had to take it slowly for fear of running out and not being able to sustain it.
Somehow, from a certain point on, the Plant Series aura emerging from Fang Ze became increasingly stronger!
The quality and quantity of the energy astonished the Flower God.
She marveled at her own good fortune while also doubling down on her absorption to heal her injuries!
And after an unknown period, just when the Flower God's Divine Soul had healed a small part and gained more basic capabilities.
Suddenly, the aura from Fang Ze ceased abruptly!
The Flower God, a bit confused, "looked" towards Fang Ze, only to find that Fang Ze's figure had suddenly vanished into thin air!
The Flower God was flabbergasted as she "looked" at everything before her.
She couldn't help but curse again in her mind, "Damn it! Where's my power bank?!"
"Such a big power bank, how could it just disappear?"
She searched around with her divine soul a bit confused, but came up empty.
At the same time, Jun also noticed Fang Ze's disappearance!
He promptly began to search for Fang Ze in astonishment.
Seeing Jun's anxious demeanor, the Flower God quickly made a judgment: It looks like... this wasn't the man's own doing.
"Could it be... he triggered some sort of transfer device he carried with him and got transferred away?"
The Flower God felt that only a space-type artifact could explain the current situation.
And at that moment...
While the Flower God and Jun were searching everywhere for Fang Ze.
Fang Ze himself was also astonished by his current predicament.
"Is... is this the Spirit Realm?"
Looking at the room before him that was identical to his own but was exceedingly dilapidated in the Spirit Realm, Fang Ze felt incredibly curious.
Just now, Fang Ze had been following the steps of Faith Ascension, extracting the Faith Power and Divine Power from Little Grass and sacrificing it to the World Origin.
After an unknown duration, when only a thin layer of Divine Power remained inside Little Grass,
