This time, the position of the leader of the first large-scale ritual was eventually taken by the Pope, who was promoted from among humans by Bai Yi.
After all, for everyone, this was the first time, and no one had any experience in creating a Divine Descent.
In contrast, it was better to let the Pope, who has always managed the church and is most familiar with such matters, take the lead.
Under the guidance of the Pope, every witch standing in front of their respective churches prayed simultaneously, using the network covering all witches as a guide.
This was the first time Bai Yi allowed her own people to conduct such a large-scale ritual completely directed toward herself.
Even with the churches gathering and filtering faith, the Avatar of Bai Yi mixed into the worshipers still attracted part of the Power of Faith. The heartfelt prayers were transmitted to Bai Yi’s mind through the connection on Bai Yi’s soul.
It might be due to the enhancement of her brain’s computational power or the increase in her Rank; this time, Bai Yi no longer found it as chaotic and indistinguishable as the last time she listened to prayers.
She successfully identified some of the witches’ prayers among them.
"I hope tomorrow’s experiment will succeed... the redundant module won’t explode again..."
"Blessings, Your Highness, I hope my potion this time won’t knock the teacher out..."
"Hope Your Highness blesses me with the ability to snag your full-sized doll this time, hehe..."
Huh? Why does it feel like there are some strange things mixed in the prayers?
Besides the first one, don’t the latter two seem increasingly strange!
Bai Yi couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, wanting to trace the faith line to see who was so "bold." Usually, it’s fine to flirt with her, after all, they’re her children, and she understands her allure to them.
Especially after her promotion, she was somewhat tending towards a humanoid Enchanting Demon.
But directly expressing their thoughts in prayers was still a bit too outrageous!
However, Bai Yi ultimately did not follow the line; because immediately, she felt the familiar call.
It signified that her corresponding Divine Descent had been successfully constructed, and the corresponding Avatar appeared in her Perception.
From the knowledge and experience gained from Yun Dao, the Pope’s guidance, combined with the temporarily crafted Rune Magic Array, smoothly "ignited" the faith.
Feeling that this Divine Descent was no different from the last, Bai Yi chose to descend immediately.
With the experience from last time, Bai Yi needed no hesitation this time.
But different from before, this time Bai Yi chose to project her core soul, armed with the soul weaponry!
The sensations recently experienced filled her being, yet this time, the Divine Descent was supported by the massive Power of Faith stored in the church, as if she had limitless strength.
Unlike last time when she had to worry about the Divine Descent collapsing at any moment.
Of course, since the projected soul was still cross-world, the consumption remained terrifying.
Even the accumulation of a million witches over more than a month wasn’t meant to be spent .
Immediately commencing the long-planned processes, she shaped the spherical Power of Faith that constituted the Divine Descent into her form, triggering the Life Aura at the first moment, heralding her descent.
Though technically unnecessary given the witches’ faith in her, she felt there should still be such a procedure.
After all, considering the time, the last time she appeared formally before everyone was when she just established Eternal Life City.
Since then, it’s been...
So many days it’s uncountable...
Back when she first became a Lord, she would actively remember how long she had been in this world.
But somehow, she stopped actively recording that later...
Maybe it’s because the Divine Descent is built from the witches’ faith, without the urgency of time, Bai Yi’s thoughts began to wander, feeling a bit melancholic.
However, Bai Yi’s other soul slices were unaffected, and this slight emotional ripple was quickly countered by other unaffected soul slices, bringing her back to focus.
Without further wasting time, Bai Yi didn’t even need to utter any grand statements; the simple Life Aura already intoxicated all witches, letting them feel her presence.
For the witches, or any race under Bai Yi for that matter, this was already sufficient.
Besides this Divine Descent, she also planned to deploy an Avatar to tour the territory afterward.
Before Bai Yi became a Lord, she had heard that managing human relations couldn’t apply to too large a system.
But that was because normal humans couldn’t maintain relationships with everyone simultaneously, while Bai Yi had the natural advantage of having a mental network and a Life Aura.
Even if she couldn’t manage to precisely engage with every witch on a management level, the existence of the mental network allowed her to truly be present with everyone.
This direct-to-heart connection was far stronger than normal human interactions.
Although the witches’ loyalty required no maintenance, Bai Yi, as their Primordial Witch, felt she still had the obligation to personally meet each witch.
At the very least, she couldn’t let the witches never have seen her, only acquiring information about her from the network.
But that was a matter for later.
As expected, does the Power of Faith, no matter how pure, have an influence?
Unexpectedly, she was once again distracted...
