Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World

Chapter 1158: The Power of Faith

"Major General Rafiq, what is this...?" Amalia was momentarily stunned.

In her past life, as an interstellar mercenary who had always been at odds with the military, she had never imagined a day when so many soldiers would salute her at once.

"Major General Rafiq, is this the result of your month-long preparation?" Kenny Lin’s voice suddenly rang out, laced with amusement.

Major General Rafiq showed no sign of embarrassment.

He merely smiled. "Of course not. This is just the most basic of drills. They’ve trained for this before, so it only took them half an hour to get it right."

"More importantly, we wanted to express our gratitude to the two of you. Without you, we wouldn’t be here today. These Cosmorite Mechas were given to us by you, after all. From now on, you have full command over them—they will obey your orders without question."

"Major General Rafiq, are you saying this ten-thousand-strong mecha army is mine?"

Though not exactly the same meaning, it was close enough.

"That’s correct." Major General Rafiq did not hesitate in the slightest.

Amalia held his gaze for a moment before letting out a chuckle. "Then I won’t hold back. I suppose we’ve never commanded an army before."

Major General Rafiq quietly let out a sigh of relief.

His only worry was that they wouldn’t accept it.

"From now on, if there’s anything the two of you don’t wish to personally handle, just give the order, and they will take care of it. This ten-thousand-strong army is the blade in your hands."

Amalia wondered if she would even have the chance to use them in this lifetime.

In the following days, they began their relocation.

When the battleship departed, the movement of a few planets did not cause much disturbance.

Before Amalia and her team returned, Major General Rafiq had already reassured all the residents.

Ordinary humans were accustomed to a peaceful and stable life.

They did not like war, which only mercilessly exposed the fragility of life.

So when they learned that staying on the planet was actually the safest option, most residents had no objections to their departure.

However, when the battleship left with the army, all the residents of Planet Lumora stepped out of their buildings and gazing up at the massive battleship as it slowly disappeared from their sight.

They didn’t know if they would ever see this miraculous battleship again—the one that had saved the lives of tens of millions.

Everyone watched in solemn remembrance, hoping that Amalia and her team would return safely.

At the same time, Amalia’s small world suddenly underwent an abnormal change.

The sky condensed into a golden glow, which persisted for quite some time.

The hundred thousand residents who had built a small city within her world all rushed out of their homes, looking up at the phenomenon and discussing it in wonder.

After living here for over a month, most of them had grown accustomed to unusual occurrences.

However, Wealth had not.

He was in the middle of incubating the Pixiu egg when the strange golden light startled him awake.

He hopped and bounced out in excitement.

"Mother is simply defying the heavens!"

Wealth covered his small mouth with his paws, unable to believe it.

In just over a month, Mother had already reached this level.

Amalia, sensing the change in her small world, instantly appeared beside Wealth.

"Wealth, what is this golden light? It has been condensing since just now."

"That depends on what Mother has done. This is the power of faith!" Wealth eagerly began explaining. "Since ancient times, great immortals have discovered another way to alter and strengthen a world—through human faith and gratitude."

"When you receive the sincere gratitude of humans and become an object of their faith, you will gain this power of faith."

"The more faith you accumulate, the stronger the world you owned becomes. That’s why, back in the day, many great immortals began fighting over the human population of the world. They built statues of themselves across the land, sent their disciples to spread their beliefs, and attracted more followers to worship them, gaining true faith energy from their devotees."

"This method wasn’t difficult, and they didn’t even have to do the work themselves. So at that time, great immortals waged bloody wars over humanity, and many of them even perished in the struggle."

"But I never expected Mother to gather so much faith so effortlessly. Even those ancient immortals couldn’t win over as many human followers as you have!" Wealth grinned as he spoke.

Amalia gazed at the golden light still condensing in the sky, feeling a warm sensation spreading through her body.

Wealth noticed occasional flashes of gold appearing on her. "This is the feedback of the power of faith. Once it accumulates to a certain level, it can even help Mother break through."

As he spoke, he pointed toward the small city that had begun to take shape.

"Mother, you should appear more often in front of these humans. Now that they reside within your small world, their power of faith will be purer than that of the outside world."

"Also, the principle of survival of the fittest applies here. It’d be best to introduce a small threat—just enough to give them a sense of crisis. This will push them to grow stronger. The stronger they become, the more powerful and pure their faith will be in the future."

Amalia thought for a moment and decided to introduce some threatening wild beasts into the world.

These people were still ordinary humans—there was no need to throw them into life-or-death situations right away.

If she made things too difficult from the start, this hundred-thousand-strong population might just want to leave, which was not her intention.

Compared to the threat of aliens, the threat of beasts was much simpler.

Afterward, Amalia took the time to sense the changes within her small world.

Gradually, she realized she could actually see the faint threads of power of faith emanating from the people.
