One month later, in Holy Spirit City.
"Holy Lord, messengers from twelve pantheons, including Wilderness, Flower Language, Illusion, etc., have come together to request an audience and are waiting outside Holy Spirit City."
Annalia gave a slight bow and reported.
"Oh? They've finally arrived."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly, not surprised at all.
Judging from the information transmitted by this "Blade of Heavenly Punishment," it is clear that the top-ranking pantheons have joined forces to attack these weaker pantheons.
In this situation, there is no other option but to surrender directly and seek the protection of the strongest Holy Light and the Undead pantheon.
"Tell them to wait in the reception room."
After a moment's thought, Jiang Yan gave an order and went about his business without rushing to see the envoys.
On the one hand, as the current god-king of the most powerful force, he needs to maintain his dignity and cannot rush to greet others as soon as they arrive.
On the other hand, letting these people cool off for a while will also help with the negotiations later, since they are the ones who are anxious.
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Analia nodded and instructed a two-winged angel waiting outside to go and guide her.
Whether this would seem too disrespectful to the guests was not within her consideration.
—The angels' emotional intelligence lessons have always served only the Holy Lord.
It is merciful enough that these heretics who did not immediately submit to the Holy Lord were not purified.
"Anna, do you think I should increase the points for bestowing names? They're going crazy."
Jiang Yan looked at the dozens of name-granting applications coming from the "God-Making Sequence" and said with a headache.
He never imagined that in just one year, these angels could earn an extra 10,000 contribution points while maintaining twelve hours of devout prayer every day—they were even more greedy than dwarves!
"To be personally named by you is the greatest honor and lifelong dream of every angel."
Annalia said with a devout expression, "You are kind, compassionate, and considerate of your subordinates, but 10,000 points is indeed too easy. My suggestion is to increase it to at least 1 million contribution points."
"Huh? Isn't 1 million a bit too much..."
Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback. It was just a small favor to bestow a name, and to add two zeros directly was too much.
"How could that be?"
Analia said happily, "To us, your personal bestowal of a name represents recognition of us. Every bit of contribution we earn means we are on the right path, which is our greatest joy and the value of our existence."
"At the same time, the higher your points are, the higher your expectations of us are, and that is our honor."
"Well..."
Jiang Yan was speechless as he looked at Anna, who seemed to take it all for granted.
This is blind faith; no matter what you do, you'll always have your own mental framework and interpretation.
"Alright, we can't go too far... Hmm, let's change it to 900,000, and limit it to 1,000 copies in total."
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then modified the backend values.
It wasn't that he wanted to deliberately exploit these devout believers, but if he didn't change the rules, at most ten million angels would meet the requirements in another month.
In this way, the honor of being given a name loses its meaning.
"From now on, let's just leave these numerical things to the Mechanical Overlord for planning."
Jiang Yan shook his head, and after spending another three hours naming the dozens of angels that had already been submitted, he called out to Anna:
"It's almost time. Come with me to meet the messengers of those pantheons."
"Yes, Holy Lord."
......
At this moment, in the reception room.
The messengers from the twelve pantheons looked at each other with a sense of helplessness.
They had been waiting for more than three hours.
After leading them here, the two-winged angel left without even pouring them a glass of water.
This is the style of the Holy Light pantheon; for believers who are not the Holy Lord, they are not even willing to go through the motions.
However, even though they were being ignored, they dared not show it on their faces.
This is the territory of the Holy Light pantheon. If I say something wrong and it gets overheard, I'll probably be purified by the angry angels immediately.
"I should have surrendered to the Holy Light pantheon after the Trials of All Realms ended."
The envoys couldn't help but sigh.
Their own pantheon has so little strength, and they don't know what the gods are watching.
It would be better to learn from the "Lord of Sound and Song," the weakest god, who is now feared by everyone wherever he goes.
Just as he was mentally complaining, two mighty streams of holy light arrived.
It's finally here!
Everyone's expression tightened, and they each put on a sincere smile.
"I apologize for the long wait, I've been very busy."
A clear voice rang out, and Jiang Yan pushed open the door and entered.
"Alliance Leader."
"Lady Annalia."
The envoys immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"No need for formalities. May I ask what brings you all to my Holy Realm?"
"Alliance Leader."
The envoys suddenly adopted a sorrowful and indignant expression, and bowed again, saying:
"Time, space, various elemental pantheons, as well as the Dragon God pantheon, the Titan pantheon... They disregarded the treaty between the worlds, disrupted the peace you brought, launched attacks on our pantheon without cause, seized land and believers, and cruelly murdered the brave warriors who should have been guarding the abyss. Their greed and cruelty are outrageous."
"We earnestly request the Alliance Leader to uphold justice for us."
"I can't believe it!"
Jiang Yan's face darkened, and he said with extreme anger, "Rest assured, everyone, as the leader of the Alliance of Gods, I will never sit idly by and tolerate such bullying! Anna, draft a statement for me to post on the All Realms Forum to condemn this behavior. The wording must be strong!"
"I will obey the imperial decree."
Anna nodded slightly, took out a sheet of paper, and began to write furiously.
"this..."
The envoys exchanged glances and couldn't help but say, "Alliance Leader, these pantheons have been plotting this for a long time; they are shameless. Simply condemning them is probably..."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Jiang Yan glanced at him and interrupted.
Analia, who was standing to the side, also stopped what she was doing. Three phantom images of divine artifacts appeared, and she looked at everyone with indifferent eyes.
"Alliance Leader, please forgive us! Alliance Leader, please forgive us! We dare not..."
A quick-witted messenger hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I was just worried about the pantheon and spoke without thinking. But our pantheon is in a critical situation. If the Alliance Leader is willing to help us out, our Wilderness Pantheon is willing to offer five hundred trillion Soul Crystals as a reward."
"Alliance Leader, please forgive us. Our Flower Language Divine System is also willing to offer five hundred trillion Soul Crystals..."
"My Phantom God system is also..."
The envoys quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.
A smile appeared on Jiang Yan's face. Why didn't you do this sooner? How can you expect people to help you if you try to get something for nothing?
"Well... considering that you had a reason for what happened, I will forgive you for now."
Jiang Yan said calmly, "Previously, it was said among the various realms that in the event of a conflict, the Alliance of Gods should take the lead in mediating. These pantheons have taken action without reporting to their leader, which is a serious overreach."
"Rest assured, everyone, I will convene a meeting of the gods immediately to stop this turmoil."
"Thank you, Alliance Leader! You are wise and sagacious!"
The envoys breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in gratitude.
