"Craftsman God faction, 2 votes, voted for Space God Lord, current 1035 votes."
"Lord Jiang, rest assured, after I become the leader of the alliance, I will not deliberately target any side. We will develop peacefully together."
As the votes continued to rise, the Space God Lord relaxed and even offered a glimpse of hope to reassure his followers:
"You can keep the area you currently occupy, as long as you don't do anything like allowing the undead to invade again, how about that?"
"Oh? Thank you for your kindness." Jiang Yan shook his head and smiled.
"However, I still feel more at ease having power in my own hands."
"What do you mean?" The Space God was taken aback.
At this moment, his vote count has reached 1037, surpassing Jiang Yan's.
Of the 103 pantheons, only the "Singing Pantheon" remained unvoted.
Unlike other pantheons, this is an extremely weak pantheon, with only one God Lord, whose strength is only at the pseudo-supreme level.
So strictly speaking, they've already won. Could it be that the other side intends to break the covenant between the realms and refuse to acknowledge this result?
Just as he was pondering this, the last god flew forward.
She was a female deity, elegant in demeanor, with her light pink waves flowing freely, paired with a deep purple dress adorned with dancing musical notes, attracting attention.
"A singing prodigy..."
"Lord of the Melodies, how about you vote for me? As everyone knows, the Holy Light and the Necromancer pantheon are..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yan suddenly interrupted her.
Title Skill? You and I are destined to activate it!
The God of Music, who was about to vote, subconsciously stopped and pretended to listen.
The Space God Lord, who had been relaxed, instantly changed his expression.
No way, there really is a traitor?
"Lylanser!"
One of the gods couldn't help but shout.
But it's useless; this ability, which comes from some unknown power, cannot be interrupted unless it is directly attacked.
A minute passed quickly.
[Time's up. Those who did not vote in the Singing God system are considered to have abstained.]
"...Thank you, Lord Yin Ge, for remaining neutral."
Jiang Yan stopped his long-winded speech at the right moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had even switched to the "love saint" destiny as a precaution, since the other party was, after all, a god.
But he didn't expect this ability to be so powerful; he even felt he could control the opponent for another minute.
“Lilanser, I didn’t expect you to have a connection with Lord Jiang. I underestimated your Musical God System.”
Seeing that the other party had ultimately only forfeited, the Space God Lord breathed a slight sigh of relief and said meaningfully.
"Don't thank me, I didn't, I..."
When Yin Ge Shen Zhu came to his senses, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly tried to explain, but found himself at a loss for words.
Could it be that you suddenly became infatuated with the other person because they had such a pleasant voice and were so good-looking?
Even she herself couldn't believe it!
Seeing the doubtful looks from the other gods, she suddenly felt that her future was bleak.
It's over...it's all over!
"Master Jiang, you have some impressive skills, but it seems I'm still slightly ahead. Can we announce the results now?"
The Space God Lord snorted coldly.
Although they abstained from voting, they still led with 1,037 votes to 1,036.
"That's not necessarily true, my fellow beings. I have objections to the vote I cast earlier."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly.
"Are you trying to renege on your promise?"
One of the gods frowned and said, "Putting aside the inter-realm covenant, as the lord of two major pantheons, do you not even have the responsibility to accept the consequences of your bet?"
Jiang Yan ignored him and said to himself, "As far as I know, there is a true god seat in the Time System that does not currently belong to the system. I have objections to the 20 votes I cast for it."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A sword beam cleaved through space, and Losia, who had left sometime earlier, walked in, followed by... a lower-level god?
He rode a giant silver wolf, his expression arrogant, and the fluctuations of time subtly flowed around him.
It was none other than the lucky boy, Enat, who unexpectedly inherited the position of a certain unlucky god of time.
"Lord Jiang Yan, we meet again."
The lower-level god jumped off the silver giant wolf and bowed slightly.
“No need for formalities, Ainate, you are now a true god as well,” Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"All of this is thanks to you."
Ainart chuckled and said to the will of all realms, "Since it's a vote by the true gods, I should also have the right to vote. I refuse to be represented."
[It has been detected that Lord Ainat possesses an independent True God position and has not authorized the pantheon to vote. Therefore, the extra vote from the previous time period is revoked. The current score is 1036:1036.]
The announcement sounded, and the gods' expressions changed instantly.
"As the true god of time, why do you help other pantheons?"
The Time God said with a stern face.
He felt a pang of regret; he had been so busy seizing faith that he hadn't addressed this problem immediately.
"Hey, don't think I don't know, you old guys are all eager to kill me, besides..."
Ainart raised an eyebrow: "I am first and foremost a being of this era, and only then a true god of time. Why would I help you if not my own people?"
Without waiting for the other gods to persuade him, he directly communicated with all realms and said, "I cast my vote for Jiang Yan, the Lord of the Holy Light and the Undead Pantheon."
In an instant, Jiang Yan's vote count jumped to 1037, surpassing his opponent's.
[All voting by the true gods has been completed. If there are no objections, the results will be announced.]
"Wait! I have a problem with this. He's just a mortal who used despicable means to obtain a divine position. He should be disqualified."
The God of Time couldn't help but argue.
If the entire plan falls apart because of his pantheon, he will never be able to hold his head up again.
[The investigation is ongoing... As the successor of Akashion, the god of time, Einart possesses a legitimate right of inheritance and has not shown any intention to usurp the divine position. Therefore, the appeal is rejected.]
"What, are you trying to renege on your promise?"
Jiang Yan retorted in kind: "Not to mention the inter-realm covenant, as the lords of various pantheons, do you not even have the responsibility to accept the consequences of your bets?"
Upon hearing the familiar words, the gods' faces darkened, and they glared fiercely at the God of Music and the God of Time, offering no further explanation.
[Voting complete. The first leader of the Alliance of All Realms is Jiang Yan, the dual-elemental god of Holy Light and Undead. This result is witnessed by all realms and approved by all gods; each pantheon must abide by the established covenant.]
The dust has settled.
Jiang Yan suddenly felt a mysterious power descend upon him, and couldn't help but laugh, "The Space God said earlier that everyone should develop peacefully and not target anyone, which I quite agree with."
"Therefore, my first order is that since we are allies, we should support each other. Apart from the plane occupied by this leader, the remaining lands of faith shall be divided equally among the 103 pantheons, and no one may occupy more than one share of additional land."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of some of the weaker pantheons lit up immediately.
Meanwhile, powerful elemental deities such as time, space, water, and fire changed their expressions drastically.
“We object. If it is to be divided equally, you, as the leader of the alliance, should set an example. Why is it that only your own pantheon takes the largest share?”
Several powerful pantheons' lords spoke with grim expressions.
"First of all, I am the leader of the alliance, so it's not unreasonable for me to have some privileges."
"Secondly, we must be prepared for danger even in times of peace. The Abyss may launch a major attack at any time. As the leader of the alliance, I will have an inescapable responsibility to be the main force in resisting it, so I naturally need to stockpile sufficient resources and strength in advance."
Jiang Yan looked at the gods:
"Regarding the matter of the Abyss, I believe you all have no doubt about my Holy Light and the pantheon of the undead."
Upon hearing this, the gods looked at each other, at a loss for words to refute it.
The angels and spirits behind them held their heads high with pride.
Even the various realms set off two thunderclaps in the sky to show their approval.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan smiled faintly.
This is the reputation that the two pantheons earned by fighting to the bitter end, with their ammunition and supplies exhausted and their souls destroyed!
