"The power of Faith?", Noah asked confused.
"It's a power formed from strong belief. Only powerful people usually use this method to grow stronger. It is because you need to have a lot of people and those people shouldn't be mediocre but the stronger they are and the more they believe you, the more quality the faith energy. In this world the strongest being is the Dragon king. That is why dragons are arrogant no matter if they are weak because the dragon king always takes revenge when dragons are killed. So because of their strong belief of the dragon king as their pillar he gets a lot of faith energy from strong beings like dragon. If not for him the empires would have started going after young dragons for their blood, bones, claws, scales and meat. The reason he is the strongest being is because he uses the faith energy from the dragons.
He doesn't know about faith energy but he enjoys the advantages it gives him. Absorbing mana while using faith energy to supplement it makes him grow faster compared to other beings as he is the one of the first beings to be born in the world. Other beings taking advantage of Faith energy are the Protector tree, all the emperors, good kings, Demon king, Celestial king and other strong beings. But the most direct way to get faith energy is for them to worship you as a God. This goblins are stronger than you but they worship you. That's why you can actively feel it. Instead of passively getting it like beings in this world. Your body passively absorbs mana. Allowing you to use faith energy while using mana passively is a better idea", replied the old man feeling proud of himself.
Noah was stunned by all the information he received. He knew he was going to begin to step on a new path. He would happily do it as new things always excite him.
The old man took control of Noah's body as Noah wasn't a big talker and won't be too actively talk to these goblins.
"From today on you shall repay all that have done to you by worshipping me", The old man through Noah's body told them. Then a beautiful red lake with high concentration of mana formed in the middle of the town. Of course this was dragon blood diluted.
"Spread my grace by bringing in many of your kind here. Make them bathe in the pool before allowing them to have a taste of my power before going infront of the statue to receive their inheritance. I don't need anything from you but to spread my influence".
After that the old man took Noah to the temple. There a statue stood. Then the old man took out 6 different art and split his soul made it stay in the statue. This part of his soul was just to send faith energy to him more effectively and also to give them arts as inheritance. Thus an army for Noah will slowly be formed. Consisting of warriors, assassins and other classes. Additionally 2 new class too was formed. It was named priest. These were people who would be used to guide the faith energy and also connect directly to him and Noah. They usually had very strong and pure souls. They were mostly innocent and not fit for killing. But they were highly intelligent people. This kind of people were very rare and should use soul arts to grow instead of the other types of art but this world was relatively new and didn't have any soul related art so they were considered useless. Thankfully he was not from this world so he could make them more useful. They were very important resources to Gods. They would be in charge of impacting knowledge to the people too. They also use faith energy for growth.
The second class was paladins. They were going to be the ones with the best constitutions. They would use low grade faith energy from the surrounding of their temple that the priest guides to them to grow stronger. This will make them as stronger than warriors because as long as their belief is strong and they pray Noah can hear them and give some of his energy to help them. After this was successful their influence will slowly spread into the human world. Tier 7 kingdoms will gladly accept them if powerful arts are introduced.
After that he split a part of Noah soul too so that they can both share the energy. The old man hadn't improved for a long time and it was time he started to do something about it. He could not use mana as mana only allowed one to use the power of element to fight. But faith energy was a neutral energy that allowed you to comprehend any law. He gave Noah an art that allowed optimum development as a swordsman. He gave Smith the way to grow as a mage so that he could become a 4 star magician before they go. Since he would be a magic swordsman he would have to improve slowly.
