One hour later.
"Hahaha, the Undead pantheon lives up to its reputation. Let's end our fight here for today. The battle of true gods will continue."
As the two arrogant voices faded into the distance, Death leisurely returned to the divine realm.
"So fast? Did you win or lose?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile.
Behind her, Losia casually fiddled with the shield in her hand, her ears, hidden beneath her long golden hair, subtly perking up.
The two masters of the Time and Space pantheon are no weaklings; she knew for sure that she could never defeat them within an hour.
"They're not here to fight, Your Majesty."
Death took out two items and shook his head, saying, "One of them was used to exchange blows with a divine artifact. Suddenly, a fragment flew off and hit me. If I hadn't sensed the spatial fluctuations within it, I would have almost thought it was an attempt to scam me."
"Another one said he would test his ultimate move and transferred me to a temporary space filled with storage items."
"No wonder they specifically asked to fight you." Jiang Yan suddenly realized.
If it were Loshia, and the opponent's artifact broke into a fragment, she would probably think she was too strong and fight even harder.
"Being too proud will only lead to suffering. Why not just give it to them directly?"
Jiang Yan took the prop and probed it with his divine sense.
"As expected of a top-ranking pantheon, their resources are truly abundant."
Jiang Yan roughly calculated that the items the two gave him were worth approximately two trillion soul crystals. Each item also included a note that would be destroyed after being read.
"Just aim to be higher than the time system."
"Just aim to be higher than the space system."
"They really are a pair of brotherly gods." Jiang Yan chuckled as he placed the supplies inside into his divine kingdom.
The lack of material resources has now been addressed!
......
The following day, the announcement from all sectors arrived as scheduled.
[The second phase of the Order of Conflict, the Lord War, has officially begun. All participating lords, please wait in the preparation area.]
The 52 battle spaces in the center gradually merged together, forming a vast world.
As hundreds of teleportation beams lit up, all the lords, including Jiang Yan, appeared within them.
The entire world covers approximately 5.1 billion square kilometers, and the center of the battlefield is equipped with various special zones that can even affect ordinary high-ranking gods.
Including mind-bending, power-suppressing, and chaotic labyrinth types...
This was supposed to be a test of teamwork and exceptional command skills.
Finding suitable battlegrounds for one's own pantheon in various special areas, minimizing losses in each battle, and avoiding being besieged by other pantheons are all key to victory.
Unfortunately, one of them was cheating.
The area where the Holy Light pantheon descends.
"Hmm... We need to leave some angels to guard the abyss passages in various places. There's no need to make a fuss over nothing; enough is fine."
Jiang Yan silently assessed the strength of the various pantheons and then opened his divine kingdom.
Beams of light from hundreds of faith channels descended, and a full two million angels appeared in the void.
They were fully armed and had a fanatical expression.
A vast amount of holy light instantly filled the entire world.
"Holy Lord, I am willing to purify all heresy for you!"
The resounding war song caused some of the nearby lords to hold their breath for a moment.
They were afraid of causing a misunderstanding and being purged as heretics.
The lords of the other pantheons also gave a wry smile, too lazy to even summon their own familiars.
The gap is too big.
Even Zhou Yuan, who was originally ranked number one on the Abyss Ranking, gave up resisting.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that there were as many as 4,000 four-winged angels in the enemy camp who were comparable to his elemental spirit kings, not to mention the six-winged and twelve-winged ones.
Despite being mentally prepared, some inexplicable emotions still flashed through my mind.
He recalled a biographical novel he had once read.
One of the families inside is exceptionally talented. He has practiced martial arts since childhood and has a firm will, even giving up his cousin who has always admired him for it.
Logically, one should be invincible and achieve hegemony, but inexplicably, there are always those in the martial arts world who gain extraordinary encounters and become invincible.
"Art always originates from life..."
While everyone was filled with fear or emotion, only three necromancer lords flew wildly, ignoring the chilling gazes and oppressive aura of the countless angels, and arrived directly in front of Jiang Yan.
"I have fulfilled my mission, Lord God."
"No need for formalities, just stay here."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly in greeting.
—That way we'll be safe.
Although the probability is very small, there's no guarantee that some pantheon might go crazy and launch a direct attack on the undead pantheon.
So he specifically found several fast lords to participate in the competition, and his orders to them were to run directly to the Holy Light faction at the start of the game.
“Anna, Losia... each of you take a team and invite them over.”
Jiang Yan gave the order in a calm tone.
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Several angels received the order and left.
With their near-god-level strength, coupled with the ascended legion of high-ranking angels, the meticulously designed scenarios of all realms were like fragile toys, easily swept away.
Even the various realms couldn't stand it anymore and sent a reminder:
[Lord Jiang Yan, your actions violate the original intent of the Lord's War. I suggest you retain only one percent of your followers and restrict the participation of Her Majesty Loshia and several Seraphim.]
"Would there be any additional benefits?" Jiang Yan asked with interest.
No, but you can experience the joy of evenly matched battles and prove those who claim you lack command skills and only rely on powerful clan members to fight to the death.
"The art of war dictates that one should use overwhelming force, outnumber the weak, and bully the vulnerable..."
Jiang Yan recalled his past life's hard work, only to be easily crushed by a low-level demon god, and smiled faintly, "That's the truth."
...
One hour later.
Annalia and the other three escorted the contestants from various pantheons to Jiang Yan.
All the beings watching the live broadcast across the myriad realms were stunned.
"No, why aren't they resisting?"
"Do you think they might be playing a much bigger game, like taking advantage of the situation to team up and take down Boss Jiang Yan?"
"No way...wait, why did the live stream go black!"
Back on the battlefield.
Jiang Yan quietly scanned the lords of each pantheon.
From the moment the Tower of Gods appeared, his opponents were no longer his fellow beings in the real world, but the gods outside the arena.
Don't be fooled by their current fawning and flattery.
That was just for the points in this Lord's War.
After this battle, the true battle of the gods will be the time when all the pantheons really put their skills to use, and everyone will do their utmost.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to gain more benefits is the right thing to do.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan took out a list and said with a faint smile, "Hmm... let me take a look. The last one is a nature pantheon, so you're out first, Anna..."
A god outside the arena suddenly changed his expression drastically. He glanced at the other pantheons with disbelief, gritted his teeth, and transmitted his voice into the arena:
"Wait, Lord Jiang!"
"I'll add more money!"
