A few seconds later, looking at Lin An's cold eyes, Hain swallowed dryly, as if he also knew how perverted the behavior of the fugitives was.
"Yes...Lin Shen..."
"We are indeed reproducing ourselves."
"My place is pretty good. There are still a large number of humans who are native humans. I haven't had time to spread "myself" out yet."
"You will know if you go to the Radiation Land. The situation there is even more exaggerated. There are more than 300 million people in the world, and more than 100 million are "divine birthers...", and that guy also likes to mate with himself... ."
Not daring to look directly into Lin An's eyes, Hain smiled bitterly in his heart.
Rather than saying that he didn't have time to spread it, it's better to say that the taste of this stuff is too strong.
Slave yourself, mate yourself, give birth to yourself, believe in yourself...
This approach is indeed a bit abnormal.
His face darkened slightly, and Lin An asked coldly.
"Are you doing this to gain higher quality beliefs?"
"Cut off the ability of human reproduction... so that you can replace it?"
"What's the principle?"
To be honest, he didn't quite understand why the fugitives did this.
Is it because of poor human genes or talent? If you want to have high-level awakened people without too many deaths, the only way is to modify the "gene"?
But is the power of faith gained in this way really okay?
Or...
It seemed that Lin An's doubts were visible.
Hain explained with pain, not caring that this was their secret.
"Lin Shen, you are right."
"You should also be absorbing the power of faith, right? I believe that when you were absorbing it, you must have discovered the disadvantages of the power of faith."
"That's why people have different personalities and emotions. Among the hundreds of millions or billions of believers, there are always a group of "problematic" people. You can't distinguish this kind of power of faith, but if you absorb it, you will It has a huge impact..."
"But we are different. The one who knows us best must be ourselves. Regarding ourselves, we know what kind of environment and what kind of encounters will inspire more faith to the greatest extent..."
"Just like taming yourself...that way the success rate is the highest."
Hain smiled bitterly. They actually learned this method of harvesting faith from other escapees.
Cruel, crazy, but useful.
After hearing Hain's explanation, Lin An couldn't help but fell into a brief silence.
He admitted that he was a little surprised after hearing this.
Do you self-domesticate yourself? Then those so-called birth-gods are themselves the descendants of these escapees.
Through continuous inbreeding and self-reproduction, a batch of high-quality "self" are finally obtained. In this way, apart from being a little crazy, it can indeed gain a group of outstanding believers.
The fugitive's method also reminded Lin An of the early nobles in human history.
Whether in the East or the West, early human aristocrats advocated incest marriage to ensure the purity of their bloodline.
No! Even in modern times, there are still a group of people doing this!
Now that I think about it...
"You have done this in reality, right?"
"Isn't it just for convenience of control? Do you plan to reproduce your own civilization one day?"
The voice was cold.
Hai En's words made Lin An, a human being, feel an unspeakable murderous intention.
He had long known that the fugitives had been hiding among humans and secretly controlling human development.
It's perfectly normal to use humans as guinea pigs.
Although this group of escapees is useless, among the original race of the escapees, if these people can survive and escape until now, they are essentially the best elites.
They are just cowardly and afraid of death, not without potential.
"Yes...Lin Shen..."
Facing Lin An's question, Hain secretly glanced at Lin An with a strange expression.
As if sensing Lin An's anger, he hurriedly explained.
"We only did this in reality in the early days. After all, the copy was not fully formed at that time. We did this for a very short time, just for a little test."
"Lin Shen! Things like humans choosing close relatives in the future actually have nothing to do with us!"
"Have you ever had a dog?"
"Sometimes, when dogs see humans reaching out and asking for food, they will learn to do it too!"
"Especially when you taste the sweetness and it is really effective, it will naturally continue."
"In fact, inbreeding is really useful. Many geniuses who have appeared in your history are the offspring of inbreeding. With repeated genetic matching, it is easy for extremely outstanding people to appear! Of course, it is also easy to have deformities... "
After a pause, Hain looked at Lin An with a complicated expression.
"As for you thinking we want to repopulate our civilization..."
"It can be said that it is..."
"After all, doing this has a chance of giving birth to a different kind of perfect person. Maybe one of "myself" will mutate, and maybe one day, we won't have to run away anymore..."
Lin An fell into a brief silence.
Before Lin An could ask again, Hain cautiously spoke first:
"Lin Shen, if I guess correctly, you should also want to take the path of reaching the fifth level of religious achievement, right?"
"You want to steal... um... collect the power of faith we have accumulated? To save time?"
Desperate to survive, Hain only felt that Lin An came in for revenge, on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to take away the power of faith they had accumulated.
When he thought about it, there was only one way for him to survive, and that was to prove that he was worthy and that the power of faith he had accumulated was useless to Lin An.
Otherwise, if the target of faith is him, Lin An will kill him no matter what!
Especially since he didn't know what Lin An had done in the alien world, he instinctively believed that Lin An could become stronger so quickly only because he devoured a large amount of accumulated resources in the alien world! After tasting the sweetness, he naturally decided to target them!
"So what?"
Seeing that Hain was trying to figure out his own thoughts, Lin An had no explanation.
What he wanted was not what this group of escapees had saved, although he had also thought about whether he could seize what was already available.
There are ready-made believers here. If you kill these so-called God Queens and be more ruthless, you might as well replace the target of your faith.
Just like in the amoeba world, this would indeed save him a lot of time.
Mistakenly thinking that he had guessed Lin An's thoughts, Hain hurriedly spoke:
"Lin Shen! You must not do this!"
"You may still not know enough about the power of faith! In fact, if it is not provided by the same race, it is essentially poison!"
"Maybe it can be powerful in a short time! But there is no way to break through the fifth level! Even if it breaks through, it will still be a dead fifth level!"
After the words fell, Lin An's eyes suddenly focused.
Same race? The dead fifth level?
Hain's words reminded him of the time when he absorbed Amoeba's faith.
Are non-ethnic beliefs like poison?
He has always felt that he would almost die if he broke through to the fifth level. It was purely because he couldn't digest it!
"Tell me."
The voice was cold. Faced with something completely different from what he had guessed, Lin An couldn't help but become serious.
"That's it, Lin Shen!"
"In fact, it's like we choose to use ourselves as believers in order to gather faith. The higher the degree of homogeneity, it is like the same water, so that the integration can be better."
"The soul, or gene, gap between each race is huge! Even though many races look like humans, there may only be slight differences, but in fact this gap is so big that it is unimaginable!"
"Let me give you an example!"
"When a person believes in you, what he wants in his mind is to be fed, clothed, and have offspring."
"But what if the person who believes in you is a dog!? Dogs like to eat shit. If you say this is a need, what are you going to do!?"
The metaphor may not be very appropriate, but Lin An instantly understood what Hain meant.
If the target of his faith has a deep desire to kill, he will inevitably be affected.
Once there is a conflict with his own spiritual will, thinking logic, ideas, etc., it will inevitably lead to collapse!
While God controls believers, believers also control God!
Under super-efficient thinking, Lin An figured out a lot of things in an instant!
No wonder religions need to spread doctrines, and no wonder gods need to limit what believers can and cannot do.
Essentially, this is controlling the variables and preventing yourself from being affected.
But if you think so...
The fugitives have worked hard for so long, even enslaving themselves to gather faith, but they still can't break through to the fifth level...
Lin An's head sank.
"So, it is extremely difficult to gather faith and break through to the fifth level?"
After Lin An understood what he meant, Hain shrank his head and nodded hesitantly as he listened to Lin An's question.
"Yes...Lin Shen..."
"It's not so much huge as it is basically impossible."
"You really don't need to kill us...With or without us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get through this road."
"The fifth level of faith achievement is the trickiest, most mysterious, simplest, but also the most difficult path."
"Theoretically, even an ordinary person can achieve level five in an instant as long as he can absorb faith without impurities! Do you think such a simple thing is realistic?"
"Don't think that 999.99 million people out of a billion believe in you. Even if some of you don't believe it, or the power of belief you provide is impure... that doesn't matter."
"The closer we get to the final step, the final stage of condensation, perhaps hundreds and dozens of people will cause impurities in the power of faith."
"Human beings are a whole and will influence each other no matter what."
"Unless you continue to screen and kill all those who do not meet the conditions and do not believe in you... But if you do this, you will be surprised to find that among the remaining believers who have been purified, new ones will suddenly appear. Impurities.”
"Humans are extremely complex creatures."
"Unless you are the only one on earth, even these humans are all your kindred spirits. No matter how hard you try, there are some things in human nature that you can never erase..."
"As far as I know, the civilizations that can achieve the fifth level through the power of faith are basically very weird races, or they have spent a lot of time and slowly assimilated... or, in other words, appeared spontaneously... "
"And even if races can share hearts and minds, they need to not be too crazy."
"Otherwise, the fifth level condensed in this way is just a lunatic with no power and no ability to control himself... In a doomsday crisis, he will die faster... and even kill "himself" in turn."
After talking about the trap of the power of faith in one breath, Hain looked at Lin An anxiously.
He didn't dare to tell any lies on this matter.
But he didn't know that after he finished speaking, Lin An suddenly felt a storm in his heart.
There is no other reason.
He just suddenly thought of amoeba.
Everyone..
It's all me! ?
we are...
integrated?
