The God of Nature reluctantly took out a storage ring and threw it into the battle space.
He never expected that these deities would be so generous with their gifts.
Jiang Yan glanced at the storage ring that had appeared in front of him and scanned it briefly with his divine sense.
"Hmm... worth about 80 million soul crystals, currently ranked seventh."
"Anna, put away your weapons. Don't frighten our distinguished guests. Cast a couple more healing spells on them."
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Analia cooperated by dispelling the lightsaber in her hand and carefully turning the pages of an ordinary holy book, from which two beams of light from a high-level healing spell descended.
This made the three lords, who were both amused and exasperated, even more distressed.
They were once renowned figures in all realms, but now they've become like commodities to be bargained over.
"Okay, let me see. Next up, Titan pantheon. Do you want to pay more?" Jiang Yan looked up at the sky with a big smile.
Damn it!
The Titan God's expression darkened as he swept his gaze over the remaining gods.
What happened to the glory of the ancient gods?!
"Unfortunately, it seems the Titan pantheon doesn't care about such a small number of points. Anna, make your move."
The holy flames descended, instantly turning the three lords to ashes.
At this moment, the Titan God, having regained his senses, shouted telepathically, "Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you!"
"Oh? You'd better be faster next time." A golden glint flashed in Jiang Yan's left eye.
The three people who had turned to ashes were instantly resurrected on the spot.
Seeing this, the Titan God no longer hesitated and waved his hand to throw a storage item inside.
"Hmm... that's also 80 million soul crystals. It's reasonable to deduct 10 million from your resurrection fee, right? You're currently ranked 11th."
Jiang Yan put away the props and continued looking at the list.
At this moment, the faces of the gods watching from the outside grew increasingly gloomy.
"What do they take us for?"
A chilling force froze the void, and the Lord of the Frost Gods said angrily, "As gods who have existed since time immemorial, we should earn our ranking through our own strength."
"Instead of being treated like a monkey by some greenhorn and rushing to hand over your money!"
“Especially you, the Time God, the Space God, and the Elemental Gods of Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, as leaders of powerful pantheons, how could you be so depraved!”
Hearing these undisguised remarks, the gods turned away in embarrassment and annoyance.
Although it's all for the sake of making the pantheon great again, this behavior is truly shameful.
Especially the two gods of time and space, their eyes met unintentionally, and then they awkwardly looked away.
Seeing this, the Frost God spoke again:
"So I propose..."
"Next up, the Frost God."
Voices echoed within the battle world.
"Hey...wait, I'll add money too!"
The Frost God hurriedly took out the storage items he had prepared in advance and put them inside.
—That being said, who would want to lose points?
Having done all this, he calmly turned his head and continued, "I propose that from now on, we should jointly resist this behavior and decide the victor with strength!"
"hehe."
...
Three hours later.
Most of the gods had raised their prices twice.
Jiang Yan estimated that he was also approaching the psychological limit of some of the gods.
These deities were familiar with each other's strength and knew roughly how many points they could obtain in the third round.
Therefore, a large number of pantheons with average strength would probably be unwilling to sacrifice themselves if the cost were too high.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan put away the list and smiled:
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, and I am not a greedy person, this will be the last time."
He held up one finger: "Place it in a storage device that shields you from detection. You can increase the stakes or leave it as is. After this round, the winner will be determined by the ranking on the list."
"Furthermore, I will give an extra big gift to the first place winner, which will definitely be more than worth it!"
These words caused another uproar among the various pantheons.
"That despicable bastard!"
"We should unite and not be led by the nose!"
"That's right, I'll write a petition and put it in there to give him a good scolding," a theist said indignantly.
The gods were stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I'll curse him too!"
Count me in!
The gods of both the space-time and time-space systems are no exception.
Even compared to other pantheons, the two of them are under the greatest pressure.
The points earned in professional battles are the same, and the points earned in true god battles are also similar, making this a battle that almost determines one's fate.
Especially the Lord of Space.
Those damned biographical novels, everywhere they go, proclaim space as king and time as supreme. It's as if their noble space system is inferior to the time system—it's utterly absurd!
Today, he will use his unparalleled wealth and determination to take the first victory, and then defeat the Holy Light and the Undead pantheon in the True God War, to show the world who is the true number one pantheon!
On the other side, although Jiang Yan was unaware of what was being said outside, he remained completely calm.
This is an open conspiracy.
Just like back in the federal college entrance exams, if you could buy points, those rich people would probably bid up the price of every single point.
And as expected, things turned out exactly as predicted.
Soon, a steady stream of storage items flew in from the sky.
He counted his haul with a broad smile. This time, the amount was much greater than before, which largely made up for the deficit in material resources.
It took more than an hour to complete the statistics.
Jiang Yan took out the list again and, without keeping anyone in suspense, tossed it into the air.
First place: Dragon God series, with a total value of 57.82 trillion.
Second place: Space God System, with a total value of 15.61 trillion.
Third place: Time God System, with a total value of 14.79 trillion.
Fourth place...
"Congratulations to our generous God Lord, Dragon God Bahamut, for securing your place in the final elimination round with overwhelming force, and for receiving the exclusive first-place prize!"
Upon seeing the rankings, the Space God Lord was initially surprised to find himself not in first place. However, upon seeing the Time God System ranked below him, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "The Dragon God System truly lives up to its reputation as the most enthusiastic treasure-collecting system in legend. It is indeed incredibly wealthy. I admire you!"
"Not worth mentioning."
The Dragon God smoothed his scales and said calmly, "I'm not really interested in this kind of ranking that I picked up. It's just that my treasure vault is full, so I'm clearing out some unnecessary trash. I didn't expect you all to be so modest."
"Hmph, so what if the score is high here? If the strength is not good, the true colors will still be revealed in the True God Battle later." The Lord of the Titan Pantheon couldn't help but sneer.
“That’s right, the Titan God Lord is right.” Some of the less advanced gods comforted themselves.
"Alright, it's time to wrap this up. Apart from the distinguished guests from the Dragon God faction, deal with the others in order."
At this moment, on the battlefield, Jiang Yan no longer hesitated and gave the order directly.
Even acquaintances are no exception; treating them well at this time would actually harm them and ruin the plan.
A divine light shone forth, and one lord after another was purified and eliminated from the battle space, leaving only the last three pantheons.
"Next, let's present a great gift to the Dragon God faction to thank them for their generosity. Please remove the power shield from the live stream."
Jiang Yan said sincerely.
He couldn't help but scan the storage items given to him by the Dragon God with his divine sense once more.
A dragon corpse of true god level was lying quietly inside.
