Ten minutes later.
"No, you can't kill us! If you kill us, the Abyss Passage won't be able to stop it without a god guarding it. You'll die too! Spare me, and I'll swear allegiance to you!"
The remaining Dark Star God kept begging for mercy.
"No need. Compared to empty promises of loyalty, I trust my own people more. Your bodies will serve as your guardians of the Abyss Passage for the rest of your lives. Kill!"
Jiang Yan gave the order without any hesitation.
"ah!"
After a scream, the Dark Star God was reduced to a pile of minced meat and perished completely.
There's not much to say about the battle itself; it was a one-sided massacre.
The gap between a high-ranking god and an ordinary low-ranking god is so vast that there is no chance of resistance.
In fact, if he hadn't unexpectedly summoned the Grim Reaper, even with the Emperor's Descent skill, Jiang Yan wouldn't have dared to appear directly in front of the Lord of Reapers.
If the opponent attacks right away, it's entirely possible to kill him before he can control the undead.
The only way is to summon the archangel's phantom in advance, or to commit mass killings to accumulate enough death essence to trigger instant death.
It's really useful!
Jiang Yan looked at the three high-level undead spirits whose skills had been elevated, wondering how long the Lord of Harvest had nurtured them to reach this level.
Unfortunately, the other powerful figures from the Necromancer Empire didn't come along; otherwise, they could have gotten a legion of high-level gods for free.
For now, we can only make do with these gods from the Northland who have come to offer warmth.
Jiang Yan looked at the corpses of the gods scattered at his feet and raised his staff.
Necromancer Domination!
A powerful force of law descended, and the shattered corpses of 37 gods were reassembled, trembling as they rose from the ground.
They silently walked to the side and respectfully bowed their heads.
"It seems the competition among other principalities is even more brutal than that among Xilank." Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.
The remaining sixteen duchies of Northland combined have only 37 deities, which suggests that most of these kingdoms have fought great wars for the sake of faith, and the weaker ones have probably all perished.
The world of gods is far more cruel than that of mortals.
Jiang Yan sighed softly and picked up the treasures that had fallen from the various divine kingdoms.
"Let's go back."
......
Holy Spirit City.
Jiang Yan sat in the pure gold chair that the dwarf team had specially crafted, lost in thought.
Thanks to the Lord of Harvest, a benevolent man who gave away both people and treasures, all the evil gods of Northland, except for the Wind God who was good at escaping, have been defeated.
Their bodies will inherit the will of their original owners, eternally guarding the abyss passages of their respective duchies.
Although the second abyss riot will arrive in a few days.
However, compared to the first time when the country that worshipped them had to be destroyed and sent out a demigod monster, the second time was not so threatening. The strongest boss was just a fourth-tier monster, the Giant Mighty Demon.
This would be a challenge for other lords, but for him, it didn't even require extra attention.
Even the abyss passage on Hammank's side, with the demigod Adun there, along with some angels, can be steadily defended.
The only thing to consider is the increase in erosion after the riot ends.
It will change from 3 to 5.
The monsters that usually appear will change from first-tier crawling monsters to second-tier blood monsters, and there is even a certain probability of third-tier fusion monsters appearing.
However, with these lower-level deities and spirits watching over them around the clock, they won't be able to cause any trouble in the short term.
We'll have to wait until at least the fourth Abyss Riot ends.
The erosion level will rise to 10, and the passage will be mainly inhabited by level 3-4 monsters, and occasionally even demigod-level monsters will appear.
At that point, it will no longer be something that weak, low-ranking gods without divine authority can defend.
In his previous life, before his death, the abyss erosion level had already risen to 15 points.
Ordinary monsters have all become fifth-tier, and abyssal demigods have become permanent residents.
In fact, even if he hadn't died in the thirtieth trial, it would have been difficult to withstand the next uprising.
Of course, there's no need to rush these things for now.
The most important thing right now is to deal with the loot we've acquired.
Jiang Yan's gaze shifted to the center of the hall, where treasures were piled up like a small mountain.
Among them are the treasures of the Lord of Harvest and the thirty-seven lower gods, as well as kill rewards from various realms.
After careful inventory by Jacobi, the list is as follows:
One legendary staff and one robe.
Three sets of Perfect Set.
Epic Set x17
116 pieces of various types in bulk.
21 high-level skill books and spellbooks.
Three copies of ordinary forbidden spell scrolls.
In addition, there are two diamond upgrade tokens, two epic blueprints, and a mercenary contract for the Flame Sprite (medium).
It seems like a lot, but in reality, most of them are useless.
The angels come with a full set of holy equipment, while the undead, apart from a few demigod-level skeletons, can just scavenge for scraps.
Even the other realms, perhaps seeing how easily he won, greatly reduced the rewards.
After a moment's consideration, Jiang Yan opened the Interdimensional Trading Channel.
After the second Abyss Riot ends in a few days, a large number of lords will be eliminated. Take advantage of the time while we can still harvest... no, to be precise, help them out.
After quickly listing all equipment below the perfect grade.
After considering for a moment, Jiang Yan put up an ordinary forbidden spell scroll and an employment contract for sale, both priced as a legendary blueprint.
Although the sixth princess, that wealthy woman, is gone, it cannot be ruled out that other lucky people still exist.
Both of these items are extremely useful in resisting the abyss's fury, so they will likely make the right choice when faced with life and death.
Almost the instant these items were listed, the entire chat channel erupted in excitement.
[Holy crap! A forbidden spell scroll?! An epic-level familia employment contract?!]
[Looking for a sugar daddy/sugar baby! I've been working on my makeup skills lately, and I'd rate myself a 9.5 out of 10!]
[Where can this drop? I've almost reached the Guardians in the Darkwood, and I haven't seen any epic or higher-level equipment drop.]
[Taking down these items during the second Abyss Rush isn't a guaranteed win! It's a pity the drop rate for legendary blueprints is so low.]
[I'm curious, what did this expert do to produce so many amazing things?]
Jiang Yan remained silent for a moment, then typed a line of text with the intention of guiding and helping his ally.
[Bad luck. I casually killed over thirty gods and only got this little.]
The chat screen, which was scrolling rapidly, paused for ten seconds.
Then, a series of explosive profanities, praise, envy, and shock followed.
Jiang Yan browsed for a moment, then closed the chat channel.
Prolonged battles can easily breed various psychological pressures without one realizing it.
Occasionally showing off in front of others and gaining emotional value can help relieve stress and improve thinking and performance.
This includes lords who often speak exaggeratedly in chat channels.
Their situation was much worse than Jiang Yan's. They basically had to lead their families in battles from start to finish, living in constant fear and under immense pressure.
Venting in chat groups is the cheapest and only way to relieve stress.
Of course, there's no need to become addicted.
Jiang Yan turned his gaze to his now full experience bar, silently communicating with the various realms to begin drawing advanced missions.
