"In order to suppress the forbidden area, our human race has deployed two-thirds of its fighting force."
"But the forbidden area is constantly growing stronger, and we are already running out of manpower."
The God of Light spoke calmly, but his words made many people's eyelids twitch.
Two-thirds of their fighting strength was bound, yet they were still able to fight the orcs to a standstill. Humans are indeed terrifying.
The God of Light continued, "The forbidden lands are already extremely powerful. If we continue to let them continue like this, even all the powerful beings on the entire continent combined might not be able to suppress them. At that time, do you all think you can remain uninvolved?"
"Moreover, the pacification of the forbidden area is not only a matter for our human race, but it may also have something to do with you all."
Many gods perished in the battle at the heart of the continent, and I do not believe that none of your kin were among them.
"Moreover, the causes of death of some gods are unknown. I won't ask who killed them, but you should all know the answer."
"You can't take this for granted. Watch as our human race cleans up your messes."
The God of Light's tone gradually turned cold as he surveyed the assembled gods with an air of aggressive dominance.
The gods remained silent for a moment, then the Elf Queen spoke softly, "This concerns the rise and fall of the continent, and as beings on the continent, we naturally bear the responsibility."
"But the forbidden area isn't so easy to clear out!"
The Elf Queen's gaze turned toward the Weeping Forest.
This is a forbidden area.
"Although he fears us, if we want to wipe him out, this forest can make us look foolish."
"This is only the weakest forbidden area. As for the more powerful forbidden areas, we would probably be attacked as soon as we enter."
There is conflict between divinities, and gods will be rejected when they enter forbidden areas.
It was as if the Weeping Forest deliberately avoided them.
That was the divine will, which felt the gap between the two sides was too great, and therefore chose to avoid it.
However, if the difference in strength between the two sides were reversed, they would be attacked the moment they entered.
In other words, even the gods are not entirely safe from clearing the forbidden area.
So, whether or not to cooperate with the human race is something the gods need to seriously consider.
At the very least, the human race should show some sincerity first.
"Let's start by clearing out the weaker forbidden areas. Each race should send people, at least those at the title level."
"Afterwards, based on the merits of clearing the forbidden area, we will allocate some resources as rewards, distributed according to the contributions made."
"Humans and other races are equal."
The God of Light showed his sincerity.
There's no need to target the most powerful forbidden areas first.
We'll practice in the smaller forbidden areas first, without needing any divine intervention, relying on titled king-level beings to clear out the weaker forbidden areas.
The human race will offer a certain reward.
Once both sides have reached a sufficient level of understanding or trust, the gods will join forces to attack the forbidden area.
The alien gods looked at each other and spoke in hushed tones.
Su Qing pulled his grandfather forward to eavesdrop, but the other races didn't care, after all, he wasn't human either.
After listening for a while, Su Qing was able to tell that most of the gods were actually tempted.
After a while, the gods who had formed a circle dispersed, and it was the Elf Queen who spoke again. She seemed to have unknowingly become the person in charge of this small circle.
"Yes, we will also allocate some resources according to the contributions made during the clearing of the restricted area. This is our way of showing our sincerity."
"However, there's one condition: all the spoils from clearing the forbidden area must be divided equally!"
Forbidden areas are also a type of resource, and different forbidden areas can produce different resources, depending on the god who died.
"Distributed according to the contribution of each race in clearing the forbidden area."
The God of Light spoke in a deep voice, "It is absolutely impossible to divide it equally. The human race is the strongest and is destined to pay the greatest price. If it is divided equally with other races, then the human race may only receive one-tenth."
That's far too little!
The alien gods whispered among themselves for a while, then suddenly seemed filled with confidence: "We can do it!"
In a simple way, a major event that could affect the entire continent was decided.
Su Qing listened from the side and began to inquire about the forbidden area from her grandfather.
Although I learned something from their few words.
But he hoped to get more detailed information.
"There's not much to say. Forbidden areas are areas formed when a god dies, his divine essence shatters, but his divine power remains, forming a divine will. These areas, large or small, are centered around the location of the god's death."
“In every forbidden area, there is a divine will; you can think of it as that god achieving immortality in another way.”
"The divine will is the master of the forbidden area, but it does not have much wisdom, cannot communicate, and is deeply hostile, and will attack outsiders."
"They are especially sensitive to divine power, and once they discover it, they will deal with it in the most ferocious and swift way."
After listening to her grandfather's story, Su Qing looked at the woman, speechless.
No wonder I suddenly encountered so many little round hats; it turns out you led them here.
The new Beast God noticed that gaze, glanced sideways, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Su Qing immediately pulled her neck back. Forget it, I can't beat this woman now. When I can, I'll hang her back in the latrine and then I'll relieve myself down there.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Su Qing suddenly felt a ball of light flying towards him, and he reached out to catch it.
A token made of an unknown metal appeared in his palm.
"There is a thought of mine inside; you can contact me."
He raised his head slightly, with a hint of nonchalance: "It's a reward for you."
