Xia Feng finished speaking, and his entire being suddenly soared higher, radiating a brilliant light as if an ancient deity had descended.
Xia Feng, being a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Saint Emperor realm, naturally created an imposing aura for his grand entrance.
As he had just said, Xia Feng handled the act of showing off with great skill.
"My name is Xia Feng. From this day forth, humanity will be protected by me. I am your faith," Xia Feng declared, looking towards the Alien Beast City, his words resonating perfectly.
Xia Feng's imposing presence, coupled with the strength he had just displayed, had already captivated everyone present.
The Beast King, possessing the strength of a mid-stage Saint Emperor, was utterly incapable of resisting Xia Feng.
Even if Xia Feng hadn't made these pronouncements, the people would have still revered him as their faith.
Xia Feng was the true god in their hearts.
An omnipotent god.
"Greetings, Saint Emperor."
Everyone knelt down once more, kowtowing fervently and unleashing all their emotions. The power of faith, fueled by their devotion, slowly flowed into Xia Feng's body.
Though invisible to outsiders, and even to Xia Feng himself, he could feel subtle improvements within him, so minute as to be imperceptible.
It was simply that too few people had come to believe in him yet.
"Little Piggy, are the Beastmen unsuitable?"
Xia Feng suddenly inquired.
If the faith of the Beastmen could also be utilized, Xia Feng certainly wouldn't want to miss out.
"Master, it's not suitable. Because you are human, their faith in you cannot be the most sincere. It's best not to proceed," Little Piggy decisively advised Xia Feng to abandon the idea.
If the Beast King had wished to become a Heavenly Dao, he could have leveraged the faith of their Beastmen.
But Xia Feng was human. This would compel many Beastmen to act against their will and believe in a different race, thus creating discord.
Xia Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this, saying nothing.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he declared in a rather ostentatious manner, "From today onwards, Alien Beast City will be protected by me."
As Xia Feng finished speaking, a statue suddenly materialized in the air and slowly descended, standing tall in the central plaza of Alien Beast City.
This statue was of Xia Feng himself, intended to collect the power of faith.
After all, if these people were to believe in him, there needed to be a place for them to prostrate themselves and express their devotion.
This statue represented him, tasked with receiving the faith.
As the statue landed, everyone in Alien Beast City was stirred, for Xia Feng could leave, but the statue would remain, permanently stationed in Alien Beast City.
This implied that Xia Feng would forever be there to protect them.
It gave them a sense of security they had never experienced before.
Excitement bloomed on every face, and their voices continued to chant, "Saint Emperor, Saint Emperor."
Having accomplished all this, Xia Feng inwardly asked, "Is this the right way to do it? Are there any areas that need improvement? Collecting this power of faith is my first time doing this, so I'm a bit unsure."
"Master, you have done wonderfully. Your display of power was also perfectly executed. I have no objections. Continue on this path, spread your name, and let everyone in the Saint Realm know of your existence. You are to become the faith in everyone's hearts."
Little Piggy spoke extensively, all with the aim of having Xia Feng gather more faith.
Xia Feng understood Little Piggy's intention: to collect all possible faith to strengthen himself.
"Alright, that's what we'll do."
Xia Feng nodded firmly. What belonged to him would eventually be reclaimed.
