Abyss Summoner

Chapter 580 - 567: Perfected Faith

No one knows when the fervor to worship Chen Feng began.

Everything that has happened recently has been witnessed by all, not only Chen Feng’s decisive acts against foes, but also his benevolent deeds for ordinary people. It all seems legendary, leaving deep impressions in people’s minds.

Worship the strong.

This might be the instinct of all beings to survive.

On the grassland, only the most valiant male lion can gain mating rights. Even beasts understand serving one leader, let alone humans.

Chen Feng’s rise stimulates everyone. After issuing the recruitment order, those with talents have become loyal followers of Chen Feng. Before his arrival, they were just refugees. Even with countless knowledge and experience, they lived like weeds.

But now, the city’s beliefs are unified, no longer scattered as before. In such circumstances, the city’s speed of rise and development naturally multiplies, and what the city most needs are talents in various fields!

Unbeknownst to them, people find surprisingly that as long as they put in the corresponding effort, they will receive some compensation. Although feeble, and still worlds apart from peacetime wages, in this apocalypse, being able to prevent themselves and their families from starvation through effort is already a remarkable change for them!

And infrastructure has also undergone changes.

The city’s plaza has been rebuilt and is now in use.

Before the apocalypse, it was the center of residents’ activities, surrounded by green trees, plenty of fitness equipment, attracting countless people here for play and fun every moment.

But when the apocalypse struck, countless monsters flooded in from all sides, zombies broke people’s throats, insects opened their jaws splitting people in two, and some dimensional creatures pinned people down, devouring fresh flesh.

The once leisurely plaza turned into a battlefield of hell instantly. Perhaps because of many deaths, urban legends had long circulated here, with some claiming to have seen wandering soul bodies sending mournful vibes into the void.

In times of insecurity, entertainment was solely for a minority’s amusement. Naturally, a few magnates wouldn’t waste efforts repairing the plaza for some slogan like increasing public happiness.

But this forgotten place amazingly sent out news of opening days ago. As people, with memories of the past, headed to the plaza, they were shocked to find a towering structure erected unknown when at the center.

From the outside, the building resembles a cathedral, yet quite different from any former cathedral. At the top of the structure is an illusory portal, backdropped with a solid black hexagon.

The space between this portal seems all-encompassing, and the hexagon itself becomes the spell to open the portal, as if casting it would unleash numerous terrifying and mysterious monsters.

Chen Feng has decided to harvest belief, making it necessary to perfect everything needed for his evangelism.

The appearance of this [Portal] is the shape of a holy icon, much like the spider emblem worn by Elwin on her chest, signifying her as a believer of Rose. Through holy icons, people can often glimpse traces of divine powers instantly.

Just like Rose’s spider, cat, and the goddess of dance represented by female vivid red lips, regarding the holy icons of the undead pantheon, they are mostly varied skeleton heads.

Chen Feng’s soul does not belong to the Demon, he retains his own, hence his holy icon wasn’t fashioned following demonic traces but using his abilities to create the current [Portal] shape.

Gate of All.

Mysterious hexagon.

It signifies a divine system adept at summoning.

For deities, holy icons and teachings are indispensable, like the sharp blade and the sturdy shield in a warrior’s hand, they cannot be absent.

Now, with the holy icon appearing before all, there’s no doubt that Chen Feng has already considered this land as his own frontier, and everyone is a potential believer.

The building isn’t lavish but carries a solemn weight. Especially once people enter the Divine Hall, the feeling deepens, eerily since people’s originally restless hearts feel considerably lighter, as if the negative energy within is absorbed, bringing relaxation to body and mind.

This is merely a trick.

The abilities awakened in professionals are varied and bizarre, some auxiliary personnel lack attack capabilities, yet that doesn’t mean they are useless.

Departing from Order, Chen Feng deliberately brought along an auxiliary professional onboard, a male, fifteen years old, seeming to have an artistic vibe.

The youth’s ability is somewhat special, always emitting a distinct aura, this aura is like a domain, people nearby become exceedingly tranquil, even the battling insects and beasts entering this domain find their ferocity pacified, then recline and fall into slumber.

The youth lacks attack capacity, yet was conscripted due to this magical auxiliary skill, becoming the [Holy Son] under Chen Feng’s command, equating with [Holy Maiden] Li Siyu in status.

Before setting off, Chen Feng left Li Siyu in Order to ensure faith continuation and specifically took the [Holy Son] for emergencies.

Now, this youth, orphaned and rescued from despair by Chen Feng, has changed his previous surname, named [Source], becoming the priest within the cathedral.

On the surrounding walls of the cathedral are numerous murals, depicting Chen Feng’s countless battles, slaying Devils, crushing swarms, cleansing zombies, and restoring Order, pulling people out of the hunger plight.

All of Chen Feng’s deeds seem like illusions, frame by frame appearing before people’s eyes.

At the front of the cathedral stands a three-meter-tall bronze statue of him, left hand holding a sword, right hand raising a massive fireball, and underfoot stomping numerous ugly-faced Demons, akin to a war god, exuding dazzling radiance.

These people start astonished, then hesitated, finally a portion of impoverished ones whose lives changed due to Chen Feng, have knelt on the ground. Before Chen Feng came, they had nothing but humiliation, now they no longer worry about dying without cause, as long as they strive, they can reap unimaginable rewards.

Though there remain many questions within, for these people, their thoughts are simple, just needing to live is enough.

Huaxia people’s beliefs are most unique.

They pray for children, wealth, and fortune.

Now, it is Chen Feng who grants them a new life, kneeling and believing is evidently a natural course!
