Chapter 56 Faith Becomes God
"Chief Li Wei, do not be anxious. I am more concerned about the safety of the Emperor. But I cannot become a god, as that would violate the principles of a believer. However, my brothers can become gods."
Luo Jia's eyes were firm as he spoke solemnly.
"Huh?" Li Wei was taken aback. What did Luo Jia mean by that?
The emperor's offspring do indeed possess the essence of the warp, but they can at most be considered divine beings, far from becoming gods.
"Oh..." Luo Jia looked at Li Wei's bewildered expression, slapped his forehead helplessly, and revealed a relaxed smile of sudden realization.
Since he understood the emperor's painstaking efforts in preparing for war, he regained his original peaceful state of mind, and at this moment, he finally returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor.
He paused, then said calmly:
"As the emperor's offspring, my brother and I are actually capable of inheriting the emperor's faith. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so convinced that the emperor was a god before, because at that time I was able to perceive and gather the emperor's faith."
Before he finished speaking, he drew upon a wisp of golden faith at his fingertips, which condensed into a lifelike miniature statue of an emperor in his palm.
"As for me now, I have complete control over faith. I can borrow the vast amount of faith that humanity in the galaxy has in the Emperor to help my brother ascend to godhood."
Luo Jia's explanation made Li Wei fully understand what was going on.
That was one of Livy's initial purposes in coming to the Word Bearers: to believe in Godhood.
Unexpectedly, through his own accidental actions, Luo Jia awakened the essence of the subspace, thus completely opening the door to becoming a god through faith.
Deeply shaken, Li Wei took a deep breath; he needed to change his perception of Luo Jia.
The reason he chose Luo Jia as the first experimental subject to absorb the power of the four Chaos Gods was because he thought Luo Jia was a fanatical fool, and since Luo Jia was destined to fall into chaos anyway, it wouldn't be a pity if he sacrificed himself.
But now that Luo Jia's status in his heart has risen, it's time to deal with the hidden dangers around Luo Jia.
He originally didn't want to get involved, since as a test subject, he didn't care if there was danger around him.
Now, Eribas, the chief priest of the Word Bearers, and Cole Fallon, the adoptive father of Loka, these two minions of Chaos who are not part of Chaos and believe in the four Chaos Gods, may die ahead of time!
With a cold look in his eyes, Li Wei said in a solemn tone:
"Primarch of Loka, your chief priest Eribas and your adoptive father Cole Fallon are followers of the four evil gods who plotted to kill the Emperor!"
"You should kill them; we can't let them continue to bewitch people."
As soon as Li Wei's cold words fell, Luo Jia's gentle expression froze, turning into confusion; his mind was in turmoil.
In the past, he would never have believed what Li Wei said.
Because the chief priest, Eribus, and his adoptive father, Cole Fallon, were the people he trusted most besides the Emperor.
But now, Luo Jia is starting to panic. Li Wei has just enlightened him, making him understand the Emperor's good intentions. Moreover, Li Wei's concern for the Emperor's safety is genuine, and Li Wei has no reason to lie to him.
There's definitely something going on between Irebas and his adoptive father, Cole Fallon. How should they deal with it?
Luo Jia was caught in a dilemma. For the sake of the emperor, they should be killed, but was that too cruel?
What made him even more hesitant was whether Li Wei had made a mistake in his judgment.
But the next second, Luo Jia suddenly realized something.
His face turned as cold as iron; he felt he had not yet fully dedicated himself to the emperor.
Any entity that threatens the Emperor should be killed!
Luo Jia suddenly looked up and bowed solemnly to Li Wei, saying:
"Thank you for the reminder, Chief Li Wei. I will kill these two right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to step out of the golden protective shield of the Sosmes rune set up by Levi.
"Huh?" Li Wei, who was organizing his thoughts to present evidence, was taken aback and immediately spoke up to stop Luo Jia's actions.
"Your Excellency Luojia, isn't this too hasty? Shouldn't it be verified first?"
"No need. Ever since I understood my father's intentions, any existence that poses a threat to the Emperor should be eliminated."
Luo Jia did stop, but his tone chilled Li Wei to the bone.
Is this meant to cultivate an extreme fanatic?
The Emperor's offspring are truly a bunch of madmen; the actions of the Steel Lord Perturabo are already quite perplexing.
Luo Jia is now even more outrageous. For the sake of the emperor's safety, he is willing to kill his adoptive father without any evidence.
Good heavens.
Li Wei felt it was better not to kill these two Chaos believers. If he did, he suspected he would unleash an extremely terrifying tyrant of faith.
He paused for a moment, then quickly said:
"Your Excellency Luojia, these two individuals still need to be convicted, and then the entire Legion of Word Bearers should be notified as a warning to others."
"Hmm," Luo Jia replied perfunctorily, clearly not taking it to heart, but only refraining from directly objecting out of respect for Li Wei.
Before long, the chief priest of the Legion of Word Bearers, Eribas, and Loka's adoptive father, Cole Fallon, were summoned to the central cathedral by Loka's personal guards.
As soon as they entered the hall, they vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Luo Jia, still dressed in a white priest's robe, stood solemnly with his back to them, gazing at the majestic and imposing statue in the center of the hall.
Li Wei stood quietly to the side, expressionless.
Luo Jia's adoptive father, used to being bossy, although he sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, still said nonchalantly:
"Luojia, my adopted son, why are you summoning me in such a hurry? Has something happened?"
After a long while, Luo Jia did not react at all, still staring at the emperor's statue.
The meticulous Iribas sensed something was amiss. He scrutinized Li Wei for a moment and realized the problem lay with the chief think tank of Qianzi.
Moreover, Li Wei and I didn't get along very well before, so it was definitely Li Wei who was trying to sow discord between us.
He also learned from Cole Fallon that Levy said he had a way to prove that the Emperor was indeed a god.
This is enough to prove that there is definitely something fishy about this interrogation.
He stepped forward and then said respectfully:
"Primarch, do not believe anything the Chief Think Tank of the Thousand Sons says. In fact, we don't really need think tank units. If we really need them, we can set them up ourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cole Fallon finally realized something was wrong and echoed him:
"Yes, Qianzi's Li Wei definitely has ulterior motives. He actually said that he could find a way to prove that the Emperor is a god. We Huaiyan are the Emperor's most devout believers, but we still cannot find any evidence to prove that the Emperor is a god. My adopted son, do not believe anything Li Wei says."
Li Wei listened to their nonsensical accusations without any expression. After all, they were two people who were about to die, and he couldn't be bothered to argue with them.
