122 Master Miao Teaches You How to Draw Stars
"Gods rely on faith to exist. If you lose faith, you will lose your power and your divine virtue will not increase. Such gods are equivalent to death... The same is true for the human gods. Although the human gods who have lost their faith are not He will die like a god, but he will no longer have the power of a god, and will just be an ordinary human being."
"Actually, I am no longer a living god, because there are no people who believe in me in Gensokyo."
"But you still have the power."
"Of course, because I am a descendant of gods and have secret techniques passed down from generation to generation, and I can also obtain their divine power from Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama. From this aspect, I am better than I became even stronger when I was in the outside world." Sanae said with a smile.
The Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama she talks about are the two gods of Moriya Shrine. They originally lived in the outside world and their power gradually became weaker due to the scarcity of faith. However, in Gensokyo, they collected the faith of monsters and gradually began to recover. The power at its peak was buffed along with Sanae's strength.
"That would be strange..." Tang Hao frowned slightly and said truthfully, "Actually, my situation is similar to yours. I am in a state where I cannot accept other people's beliefs. If I follow your theory, I should not be able to use the power of gods. Yes, but I can still talk to cats, what’s going on?”
He collected some beliefs in the world of Noragami. However, after leaving that world, he could not hear the voices of believers and could not accept their beliefs. In theory, his identity as a god existed in name only.
However, after repeated verification by Yakumo Murasaki, his animal conversation is indeed the power of God.
Tang Hao also asked Ye Dou Shen for advice on this question, but the other party couldn't answer it.
"Well..." Sanae thought for a while and said seriously, "If what you said is true, then you should not be among the eight million gods. You are not composed of pure faith, but the same original god as Kanako-sama. "
"Primordial God?"
Tang Hao was stunned again.
The original god is a god who does not need faith. Although gathering faith can still increase his power, he will not die even if he loses faith. To put it simply... he is a species of god in the true sense!
He is a god, how is this possible?
"But, I did become a god through faith?"
"But this is not contradictory." Sanae explained, "Sometimes, the boundaries between the original gods and the gods of faith are very blurred. The original gods can strengthen their power by collecting faith, and the gods of faith may also become real gods. Of course, this is On the premise that the power has become very strong, in fact, Suwako-sama failed to become the original god even when he was the most powerful."
"So, my situation is still a special case?" Tang Hao obviously did not think that his current strength could be compared with Yasuwako.
"Well, it's a special case." Sanae smiled without any surprise, "After all, Gensokyo is a place that is not bound by common sense. You have to get used to it."
Ah, such a cute smile, I want to protect this smile...
No, no, no, how can I care about Sanae's smile now? The problem is, I am not from Gensokyo... Wait, if we are not bound by common sense, isn't the chat room more exaggerated than Gensokyo?
Could it be that because he joined the chat room, it caused some kind of qualitative change?
Tang Hao looked at the girl in front of him again. Even if he asked her, he wouldn't be able to get the answer. He didn't know if Yakumo Zi knew about it, but the old woman had a strict tone. Even if she knew, she might not tell her. Sure enough, she still had to rely on herself. Digging?
So, let’s sort it out a little bit... This useless person who appears as a human god is not only a god of faith, but also may be the original god.
Being promoted from an ordinary person to the original god may be the most useless kind, but no one is born invincible. Even the old lady Zi must have periods like Baby Zi, Young Zi, Xiao Zi and True Zi Mei. , then, maybe you can try to increase the strength of the divine species...
Tang Hao had no knowledge in this area, but he had the best teacher in front of him. No matter from which point of view, Sanae, who was both a living god and a descendant of a god, was the most suitable to teach him this knowledge.
Although this teacher is younger than him.
Maybe a teacher-student relationship can develop...
Thinking about it makes me a little excited.
"So, how should I tap into my power as a god?" Tang Hao asked immediately.
"Hmm..." Sanae tilted her head, "I'm not very good at this either. If Kanako-sama is here..."
"No, no, no, I just want you to teach me!"
Tang Hao clasped his hands together, his face full of sincerity, "Please, Master Sanae!"
"Sanae-sama?!" Sanae's eyes suddenly lit up, with a hint of excitement on her face. Since entering Gensokyo, she has not collected anyone's beliefs. Could it be that... is she going to get the first one from Gensokyo today? Has humanity gained faith?
This is an opportunity!
If she could do it, even Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama would be impressed by her.
Thinking of this, the girl's blood suddenly surged up, and her originally weak face suddenly became strong.
"Okay, since you sincerely ask for advice, then I won't be respectful and come with me!"
Is it an illusion?
Tang Hao blinked, feeling that Sanae seemed to suddenly burst into flames, and...what a man!
As expected of Master Miao!
…
"First of all, about the secrets of the gods..."
A moment later, in a classroom at the shrine, Sanae held a pointer that she found somewhere, tapping on the blackboard, and kept explaining the knowledge about gods to Tang Hao.
For ten full minutes, Tang Hao didn't understand a word, and he raised his hand weakly, "Sanae-sensei, um, can we start from the basics?"
"Yes, you are just getting started now. You may not understand the in-depth knowledge. So, let's start with making talisman paper. After all, weak gods like us need talismans to use secret arts or pray. Rely on divine power.”
Sanae took out two blank talisman papers, one for herself and one for Tang Hao.
"To make a spell, you must draw a pattern. Although in principle, any pattern will do, because we use our own divine power, but I am used to drawing stars. You can also draw stars with me... Can you draw little stars? "
"Oh, that's not how you draw. You have to concentrate. I'll teach you."
"Oh, that's wrong. Your threads are all crooked. You can't rely on divine power like this..."
"You're so stupid, why can't you even draw a star..."
"You are so stupid, you are the worst class I have ever taught!"
