North of the Lonely River!

Each time the village leader changed, the village would have to change its faith.

In a village of this size and level, no bigshot would truly be willing to guide and enact change in the village. They would be more likely to do what was happening now, which was to send their subordinates to forcefully collect faith.

The older individuals had heard that a village like this, comprising hundreds of millions of lifeforms, was traded around like objects.

If a lifeform wanted to supply faith power to a sculpture, it would need to continuously lie to itself to change its mindset and self-hypnotize. Otherwise, the faith power would never be generated!

How could anyone naturally have faith in a sculpture?

The elderly man had never given any explanation of the lifeform that the sculpture represented. All he did was address this sculpture using various terms for gods and celestial beings.
