Green Monster Epic

This time, the price paid was not small, forcibly elevating an incompetent individual with no hope of advancing to Legend rank to the Legend level, using empirical evidence to prove that his initial conjecture was correct.

With this experiment, Allen had a means to compensate for the debt he owed to another talented individual in the tribe.

Albard, as a child, did not receive much resource investment from the tribe in his early years. Instead, various arrangements hindered his professional development, yet he was still able to advance to Legend rank through his own efforts. His talent and perseverance were second to none in the tribe.

At least in Allen's view, Albard's talent in terms of profession and character even surpassed that of his beloved disciple, Coer. Even though Coer had advanced to the high-level Legend rank early on, there was still a chance for her to follow in his footsteps and challenge the peak of Demigod.

Originally, after Albard advanced to the initial Legend rank, he gained a hundred years of lifespan. As long as he could continue to focus on his magical research, the possibility of breaking through to the mid-level and high-level Legend ranks was not low.

However, the tribe had too few available people and faced major problems several times, forcing Allen to interrupt Albard's efforts in magical research, delaying his already limited time. It could be said that Allen personally cut off his possibility of advancement.

Allen inevitably felt some guilt about this, as well as his previous neglect of him, and also regretted that such a promising talent was nearing the end of his lifespan.

Now that the experiment was successful, it meant that Allen had a way to use other powerful methods to make up for his debt, and the big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

As for how much anger, mental power, and faith power he would lose if he used Divine Grace, Allen would not care too much. As long as they were goblins born and raised in the Green Field Tribe, as long as they were promising and capable, Allen would not hesitate to help them in any way he could.

Allen had always maintained such a selfless style, which led to the current reality of the Green Field Tribe's continuous growth, and also created the most humble pillar of strength in the wilderness.

Unfortunately, Allen was still facing a problem that he had finally figured out, which was the issue of the depth of believers' faith, which often affected the final effect of Divine Grace bestowal.

Before deeply contacting the power of faith, Allen thought that the classification of believers was nothing more than shallow believers, devout believers, and fanatical believers.

But when he truly entered the hall of faith, he realized that the classification of believers was not just these three categories, but at least five levels existed.

Take shallow believers as an example, it can be subdivided into two levels: nominal believers and shallow believers.

The so-called nominal believers refer to those who constantly change their beliefs according to their own interest needs. They are not much different from non-believers. They neither pray nor offer sacrifices to gods, but only seek peace of mind for themselves from the illusory curse of the Wall of Non-Believers.

Shallow believers are slightly stronger than nominal believers. They do not easily change their faith in gods, and mostly only worship one god in their lifetime, occasionally mentioning the true name of their worshipped lord.

A higher level is ordinary believers. They will pray sincerely during festivals and times of distress, and will also offer meager sacrifices to please the gods when they have the spare capacity.

Above this, there are also the two levels of devout believers and fanatical believers, who devote themselves wholeheartedly to their worshipped lord, praying on time every day and willing to give everything for their faith.

As for whether there are more devout beings above fanatical believers, Allen could not make a judgment for the time being. After all, his current tens of thousands of believers are all in these five levels of classification.

And how did Allen make these judgments? That has to be said about his internal vision of the Seed of Faith, the dust-like existence that circulates around it.

Each grain of these dusts and stardust represents a believer who believes in Allen. The more devout the believer, the brighter the dust representing him, like the stars in the endless starry sky.

The dust representing nominal believers and shallow believers is truly like dust, dim and slow to revolve, and the farthest away from the Seed of Faith. Even if Allen tries his best to search and examine, he must be very careful to detect their existence.

These types of believers may only nurture one or two strands of faith power in their lifetime of decades, and are like chicken ribs in major churches.

After reaching the level of ordinary believers, the dust they represent has a glow, which is what Allen himself named stardust. Although they are still very dim, because of the light of that little spark, Allen can easily lock in their existence with his mind.

Higher-level devout believers not only have brighter light, but Allen's consciousness can also sneak into the other party's sea of consciousness during devout prayers, listening to the content of their prayers with his own ears.

As for the higher-level fanatical believers, Allen can not only sneak into the other party's sea of consciousness and listen to their prayers, but also browse their short-term memories to a limited extent, understanding some of their profound experiences.

The reason for thinking about the level of believers is that although Albard has now become the leader of the Gluttony Society, in fact, he himself can only barely be considered an ordinary believer in the matter of believing in the Gluttony God.

Believers of different levels have different times and amounts of faith power they nurture, and the feedback of Allen's Divine Grace bestowed on these believers of different levels is also very different.

The same amount of divine power is fed back to their main bodies through the dust representing the believers. The more devout the believers, the more excellent the abilities and talents they obtain, and the less devout the believers, the less they harvest. Even pseudo-believers cannot be given divine grace by Allen.

According to Allen's dozens of continuous experiments, the best effect of Divine Grace is Zerang, who is in tune with his soul. His current faith level is also one of the few highest among Allen's many believers, and the stardust representing him is the most brilliant and purest.

Even so, according to Allen's rough estimate, the conversion rate of his divine power bestowed and absorbed by Zerang to improve his strength will not exceed 80%.

The conversion rate of devout believers with a faith level lower than Zerang is only about 65%, and the conversion rate to the level of ordinary believers is even less than 50%.

If he wants to help Albard improve his strength level through Divine Grace bestowal, then the price paid will only be greater than helping Zerang advance to the Legend rank, consuming more.

Although Allen has always been generous in matters of the tribe, after all, he has only recently advanced to Saint and his foundation is unstable, and the situation in the wilderness is also full of weirdness. He is afraid that his advancement will reshuffle the cards and cut interests, so it is not good to keep himself in a weak period.

In addition, he does not have many believers now, and the faith power he harvests is also very scarce. In the case where he cannot quantify the divine power required to promote an ordinary believer's level, he still has many concerns after all.
