Fanatic Believers are the greatest assets of most gods. Because of their strong belief, they provide the gods with the greatest number of incense. In return, they are the first people to be chosen to be given cultivation techniques to become Gods themselves.
The stronger their souls, the greater the number of incense they can provide.
After hearing the Death King words, Tie Gang looked at the capital; his eyes suddenly had weird runes on them as he observed the people. He saw that the majority of people had a thin gold layer on top of their heads.
The intensity of the gold layer varied from person to person, and even the Gods had them on top of their head. That's because that was the intensity of their faith.
Tie Gang was using a secret technique called Qi Watching Technique. Between Heaven and Earth, all things have their own qi or breath. By observing this "qi" you can peep into their essence, their secrets.
