Chapter 316 Accepting Submission
"Huh, why is she here?"
Jiang Yan, who was surveying the battlefield, suddenly changed his expression and looked in a certain direction.
But then they saw that the "Song God," who should have been at the back, had somehow arrived at the entrance of the divine kingdom and was gently touching the outer laws with his divine power.
He immediately waved his hand and teleported the opponent to the sacred mountain.
"Lord Yin Ge, are you all well?" Jiang Yan greeted.
"Thank you for your concern, Alliance Leader."
The God of Music stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I have come to thank you for your timely rescue. If you do not mind, you may call me 'Lilanser'."
"No need to be so polite. It's all just luck on your part," Jiang Yan said with a slight smile.
His timely arrival was thanks to the effect of a title he had previously earned.
"Turning the tide": When something important happens that concerns you, no matter how dire the situation, both sides will find some reasonable justification to support you until your arrival.
However, high-level or higher killing situations have a chance to be exempt from this effect, so it's not wrong to say it's luck.
But these words were interpreted differently by the "Lord of Music and Song".
She only felt that the other party was powerful, righteous, and humble, a true god worthy of worship by all living beings in the world.
If I were to pledge allegiance to such a deity, I shouldn't be used as cannon fodder or discarded after being used and discarded...
Thinking it over, "Lord of the Melodies" pursed her red lips and made up her mind, saying, "Alliance Leader, what do you think of my Melodies pantheon?"
"Weak... cough, if I had to give an evaluation, I think that any pantheon that has survived to this day has something extraordinary about it."
Jiang Yan coughed and quickly corrected himself.
"As expected, the Alliance Leader has keen insight."
Upon hearing this, "Lord of the Sound and Song" smiled with delight, a strange light appearing in his eyes. He looked steadily at Jiang Yan and said, "Since the Alliance Leader does not mind our weakness, I am willing to merge the entire pantheon into the Holy Light Pantheon."
Um?
Jiang Yan paused slightly, met the other's gaze, and repeated, "Yin... Lilanser, do you mean you want to become a subordinate pantheon under my command?"
He was somewhat surprised. After all, becoming a subordinate god meant that, aside from other factors, his life and death would be in the hands of others, and there was no possibility of any further progress in the original laws. These two points alone were enough to make him hesitate.
Especially given that the situation is not yet fully clear, it is truly remarkable that they were able to make a decision so quickly.
“That’s right. I wonder if the Alliance Leader would be willing to accept us.” “Sound Goddess” smiled sweetly.
"Of course, with the threat of the abyss looming ahead, only by combining the power of all pantheons can victory be possible."
Jiang Yan said with an appreciative look, "The Divine Lord of Yin Ge is a man of great wisdom and righteousness, just the kind of talent that the Holy Light admires."
"Your Majesty is too kind. It is an honor for our Song and Dance pantheon to accept you."
Seeing Jiang Yan's attitude, Lilanser breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile became even sweeter.
She stretched out her right hand, and a musical note-like mark rose from her palm, echoing the most beautiful celestial music in the world.
—This is proof of the divine position of the chief deity of the music and song pantheon.
At the same time, her divine power resonated with the laws, and she spoke, word by word:
"Under the witness of all realms and the fundamental laws, I, Lilanser, in the name of the God Lord of the Song and Melody Pantheon, today wish to become a subordinate pantheon of the Holy Light Pantheon. From this day forward, all faith and glory belong to the Lord of the Holy Light."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of law evolution appeared in Jiang Yan's ears.
"The legendary Song of Freedom, the dream weaver of soul symphonies, the singer of brilliant epics, the ancient and enduring lord of the Song God System, Lilancel, makes a subordinate request to you. Do you agree?"
So decisive?
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Yan's face; he liked people who acted decisively and efficiently.
"allow."
In an instant, wisps of fine law rose from the musical note-like imprints and floated towards Jiang Yan.
A heart of an angel, shimmering with holy light, slowly materialized deep within his soul, casting a dazzling glow that permeated and merged with the threads of law.
One can clearly feel the power of the holy light cheering and growing stronger.
[Your mastery of the Holy Light Laws is compatible with the pseudo-high-level "Sound Laws" (cannot be advanced). Now, you or your subordinates can quickly master some Sound-based divine skills by expending Faith.]
[You have gained a new faith; the prayers of all followers of the Primal Song God system will be transformed into a faith of Holy Light.]
The power of the Holy Light Law has increased considerably.
[Your reincarnation has undergone a positive mutation; the effects are unknown.]
[Should the original "Song God" position be stripped?]
Upon hearing the last prompt, Jiang Yan immediately murmured "No".
This was the first deity to voluntarily submit, and her situation largely determined the fate of some pantheons whose attitudes were wavering.
While it's true that even if other pantheons rebel, they could be annexed through war, that would be time-consuming, laborious, and consume vast amounts of resources and faith. It's far more appealing to have them surrender willingly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan turned his gaze back to the "Sound God".
At this moment, her face was slightly pale, and her divine power was showing signs of dissipation, making her appear somewhat weak.
Jiang Yan raised his hand and cast a holy light healing spell, asking gently, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I lost the favor of the sound system law and suffered a slight backlash."
Lilanser gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said gratefully, "Thank you, God, for allowing me to retain my divine position."
"You're welcome. Since you've turned your heart to the Holy Light, I will naturally give back to you."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly and pointed to the various layers of reincarnation where they were currently engaged in battle: "Do you see them?"
"Hmm... Come to think of it, I have some connection with Floria. I didn't expect her to have become so strong."
As Lilanser watched Flora unleash her "Supreme Hall" and fight three Abyss Lords alone, a hint of envy flickered in her eyes. Although Flora's strength was not yet as great as hers, it had come quite close.
"Oh? You know Floria?" Jiang Yan glanced at him slightly.
“Hmm… countless ages ago, I composed music for many of her dances,” Lilancel recalled.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Yan nodded and said seriously, "As far as I know, once you become a subordinate pantheon, you can no longer improve through the original laws?"
"That's right, to be precise, it's a lose-lose situation. I've lost the favor of the laws and can no longer improve through the origin of the sound system. And unless I perish, the laws of the sound system's origin will be powerless to condense new divine positions and support new pantheons."
This is easy to understand. The laws are like a sect that pours all its resources into nurturing a holy son or daughter, only for that person to abscond with all their possessions and join another sect. The original sect, of course, can no longer nurture them, but similarly, its remaining resources are insufficient to cultivate a new holy son or daughter.
Lilanser was slightly downcast. Although she could switch to cultivating the Holy Light Law, there were no more spots available for the fixed divine positions in the Holy Light Law. At most, she could obtain a general divine position, which was far inferior to her original position.
She couldn't help but sigh, and said self-deprecatingly:
"However, I was originally the weakest in terms of strength and talent among the gods. I haven't made a breakthrough even after so many eras, so whether I can advance or not doesn't make much difference."
"That's not necessarily true."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly as he looked at the other person's dejected expression:
“Sometimes choices are also a form of strength, and at least in this respect, you have already surpassed the other 103 pantheons.”
