A dispute that started as a quarrel between the servants of the gods somehow eventually escalated into a conflict between the gods themselves.
Tensions were high at one point, and there was even a risk of a full-blown fight.
But in the end, the various gods seemed to suddenly come to their senses, and everything returned to calm.
To avoid further conflict, the various pantheons entered into a pact that they could only recruit candidates within their own regions and wait for them to come to them; they could not compete for candidates from other regions.
Furthermore, in order to maintain the majesty of the true god, only one ordinary forbidden spell can be passed on for free at most.
At this time, within the realm of God.
Jiang Yan retrieved the Book of Creation and looked at the God of Death, saying, "I didn't expect that the ability to weave fate, combined with your favor, could have such a great impact."
"Unfortunately, it was still a little short; we couldn't make them fight," Death said with some regret.
"That's enough. At least for the short term, there will be a considerable gap between these pantheons. Besides, if this continues, it will be easy to be discovered."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly.
Previously, he had used the first ability of the Dominator-level artifact, the Book of Genesis.
One can be borrowed from the 512 recorded supreme divine arts every 100 days.
He used the supreme divine magic of the Fate system in conjunction with "the favor of death" to slightly influence the Fate Line.
The effect of the change is very simple.
This amplifies the potential for conflict.
The gods were all harboring their own ulterior motives, and being newly born, they were eager to recruit believers, making them easy targets.
They had no doubts whatsoever.
Because all the things that sparked the conflict were true.
Hmm... perhaps the other realms have discovered it, but it would never inform on them; it might even help cover it up.
"Who told you to be such deserters back then...? Repairing a crisis of trust is incredibly difficult..."
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Yan's face.
Next, all that's needed is to recruit believers to participate in the assessment... that's Heaven's specialty.
......
"Brother, which pantheon should we choose to join?"
Several lords emerged from a vast expanse of water.
"No rush, let's review all the pantheons first. Didn't the various realms say that once you join a pantheon, you can't easily betray it, or you'll be punished by the gods? You must be careful."
"That's what the leader, a man who has reached the mid-level god level, said."
"It's a pity we arrived a little late. I heard that the Dragon God lineage not only gave away forbidden spells, but also an earth dragon. Now, after visiting more than ten places, all that's left are the forbidden spell inheritances," one person sighed.
"Yes, with our strength, it's difficult to break through to the fifth level and gain the favor of the true god. We should take as many benefits as we can."
"It's okay, take your time. If the benefits are the same, then find the rules that suit each of you."
The group began to discuss amongst themselves.
Where to go next?
"Why don't we go check out the Holy Light Pantheon? I remember Lord Jiang Yan was in the center position in the promotional video for the various realms."
"OK."
The group decided that they were just taking a look anyway, and if it didn't work out, they would go and join another pantheon.
Soon, they arrived at the center of the world, where a majestic divine tower shone brightly amidst a constellation of stars in the center of the sky.
Under the cascading rays of light, a heavenly ladder rose from the ground, reaching all the way to the bottom of the divine tower.
That was obtained from the previous Holy Light Ruins, and Jiang Yan used divine magic to absorb the divine power contained within it and then used it here.
"To be honest, although Lord Jiang Yan has only been cultivating for a short time, his status is in no way inferior to those ancient true gods."
"Why are there so many people here?"
Looking at the dark mass of people gathered in front of the Heavenly Ladder, they each curiously extended their divine senses.
A six-winged angel dressed in a white dress was seen floating silently in the air, reciting the sacred text in his hands.
Tranquil, gentle, sincere, and with an indescribable warmth, just one glance can calm a restless heart.
"I'm just a lower-level god with B-grade talent, yet the Holy Light Pantheon actually sent a true god to greet me?"
One person felt a surge of emotion and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Yes, just now in other pantheons, those servants of the gods seemed enthusiastic, but in reality they didn't care about us ordinary people at all. Their smiles were fake and ugly, completely lacking the sincerity of this six-winged angel."
Another person couldn't help but say, "I feel a long-lost sense of respect. I've made up my mind, I want to join the Holy Light Pantheon!"
"I also want to join the Holy Light pantheon."
Another person spoke up: "Did you see the angel's eyes? They were full of encouragement, trust, care, and support. It reminded me that I was once a peerless genius in my own civilization! She awakened my confidence. I must not let down this kindness. I'm going to sign up for the trial right now."
"Are you all crazy? You decided to join the Holy Light Pantheon without asking any questions?"
The leading mid-level god looked at his companion in disbelief: "Shouldn't you at least ask what kind of benefits are offered?"
He pulled back his companions who wanted to come forward, and mustered his courage to ask from a distance, "Respected angel, we also wish to join the Holy Light pantheon. Are there any extra rewards?"
Upon hearing this, Aisera raised her head, a gentle smile on her face: "Joining the Holy Light pantheon means serving the great Holy Lord. This is an unparalleled honor that surpasses everything. Isn't that enough?"
"Is there no substantial reward, such as the inheritance of forbidden spells or troop treasures?"
The mid-level god was slightly taken aback.
"Brother, you are too greedy! What kind of status does the Holy Lord have that he is willing to accept us ordinary gods? We can never repay this favor and trust, even if we die ten thousand times!"
Before the angel could respond, one of his companions began to accuse him angrily.
"That's right, big brother, this is the last time I'll call you big brother. I never thought you were this kind of person!"
Another person called out to the group, "Come on, let's go over there to register. We're ashamed to associate with such ungrateful people!"
"Wait...no! What did I do that would make me ungrateful!"
The mid-level god stared in disbelief as his companions walked away without looking back.
"I just wanted to ask if there were any extra rewards... how is that being greedy?"
"Our great Holy Lord desires to sweep away the abyss, restore peace to all realms, and allow every living being to freely and carefree enjoy the light of the Holy Light. Are you willing to join the Holy Light pantheon and work together to achieve this vision?"
Ether was not annoyed. Her gentle gaze swept over everyone as she asked softly.
"I do!"
"Since the Holy Lord values us so highly, we are willing to join the Holy Light Pantheon and do our utmost!"
Everyone spoke with fervent expressions.
The previously indignant mid-level god no longer showed surprise, his eyes filled with shame.
“The Holy Lord is wholeheartedly concerned for all living beings, yet I was still thinking about personal gain. Damn it, how could I be such a person?”
He couldn't help but slap himself, then walked to the registration desk, his gaze hardening.
Only by joining the Holy Light pantheon and performing well can we make up for our previous mistakes!
"I didn't expect Ether's abilities to be so powerful..."
At this moment, Jiang Yan, who was watching everything from afar in the divine kingdom, couldn't help but look surprised.
He looked up at the ladder to heaven, where many people were about to reach the end.
The gates of the Tower of Gods are slowly opening, welcoming the first batch of trial participants.
