"I see. So, after the villagers and soldiers you rescued were transported to the city, they spontaneously spread the word, which is why the faith level of the entire Duchy of Hammank has increased."
Listening to Annalia's report, Jiang Yan suddenly realized what was going on.
"Yes, Holy Lord, but the situation was quite critical at the time. I did not continue to kill the monsters in the abyss because I had a faith that had fallen from the Holy Light. I beg you to punish me, Holy Lord."
"Get up. Your choice is right. It is indeed not advisable to have a large-scale conflict with the Abyss right now." Jiang Yan looked at Annalia, who was kneeling on one knee, with some helplessness. These angels are good in every way, except that they are too stubborn.
"The Holy Light appreciates believers who can assess the situation more than those who make pointless sacrifices."
"Is that so, Holy Lord?" Annalia was taken aback.
"Of course, who am I?" Jiang Yan suddenly asked with a serious expression.
"You are the creator of all things, the master of the gods, the controller of holy light, the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord of Light," Annalia said, listing them off with great familiarity.
“That won’t do. Since I am the controller of the Holy Light, what I favor represents what the Holy Light favors.”
"I see, I did nothing wrong." Analia's expression brightened, and she couldn't help but flap her wings.
"Well, you'll need to put in more effort for the Duchy of Hammank. I'll send more angels to support you as soon as possible," Jiang Yan said gently.
According to my memories from my previous life, as the first abyssal riot approaches, their attacks will become increasingly fierce. Without the support of lords, even cities protected by large magic arrays will not last long.
He didn't want to lose such a stable source of faith.
"Yes, Holy Lord, I will go now."
Seeing Annalia, who had just returned and was so excited that she didn't even have time to rest before flying back to work, Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
With such hardworking and selfless subordinates, how can we not accomplish great things?
After seeing Anna off, Jiang Yan casually opened the "All Realms" interface, preparing to acquire another batch of blueprints, only to find that the chat channel was unusually lively, and it seemed to be related to him.
[Which lord worships the Duchy of Hammank? I'm speechless!]
[Fellow family members, does anyone know why?! I was diligently leveling up when suddenly I got a notification that my faith level in my chosen nation had dropped. After asking around, guess why?]
【Why? 】
[Hey, they said a letter came from our friendly Duchy of Hammak saying that their god not only personally repelled the Abyss at the first moment, but also helped them defend the city, while I, this god, am completely useless.]
[That's right, and what's even more shameless is that this lord actually proclaimed himself the King of Gods, making us feel inferior all of a sudden.]
Holy crap! Expose this guy right now, let me see who this shameless bastard is!
[...]
The Duchy of Hammunk...isn't that my vassal state? But when did I ever call myself the King of the Gods?
Jiang Yan's expression was somewhat strange as he looked at these discussions.
I never expected that these local principalities would have connections with each other.
That makes sense. Although there are no satellite phones or anything like that, magic is a type of runic technology, so transmitting messages across regions is still quite simple.
It's only been three days since he arrived. Apart from him, even the sixth princess of the Star Empire, who has the highest starting point, probably only has bronze-level troops under her command.
Most common lords' troops are only level 20-30, and they have a hard time even crossing the duchy's forests, let alone supporting the fight against the abyss.
However, he inadvertently caused trouble for the people around him...
Jiang Yan shook his head. It was a pity that most of these countries that believed in the faith were destined to be destroyed in the first Abyss Uprising.
In that short time, he wouldn't even have been able to finish exploring the area around Holy Spirit City, let alone locate the other duchies and rescue them.
Otherwise, it would be good to add a few more stable sources of faith.
"My lord, my lord, good news! The graveyard is finished!" At this moment, a burly dwarf ran and shouted with a joyful expression.
"Wow, so fast! Take me to see it." Jiang Yan's expression brightened, and he said impatiently.
Since inheriting the legacy of the Necromancer Emperor, he had not yet used the most basic necromancy ability, summoning undead, due to the lack of suitable materials. Now, he finally had a chance to put it to good use.
"Yes, lord, this way please." The dwarf's smile grew even brighter as he looked at Jiang Yan's happy expression.
The cemetery construction was originally scheduled to take 10 days, but they worked overtime, day and night, and completed it in just three days. With such outstanding performance, the lord will likely reward them with a job in the angelic half of the realm for their next project.
—According to the tribespeople who work there, it's not only spring-like all year round with beautiful songs, but even the air is sweet, and beautiful angel ladies often appear to please the eye.
Unlike the land of the dead, where there are chilling winds all day long, and every now and then a corpse's severed limbs will sneak up and touch you, and when you're bored you can only pick up a skull to play with, it's really not a human life.
Soon, the two arrived near a building that covered an area of about two hundred meters in diameter.
It was surrounded by a ring of eerie green flames, and there were two strangely shaped statues at the entrance.
Contrary to Jiang Yan's expectations, the high-class cemetery did not contain a large number of graves and coffins. Instead, it was filled with strange small altars.
He looked curiously at the introduction in "All Realms".
[Premium Cemetery]
A rare-grade building for the undead, providing 100 fine skeletons daily as needed.
Currently available options: Skeleton Mage, Elite Skeleton Archer, Elite Skeleton Warrior.
Special Note: This is a product of the third rune revolution in the Netherworld, integrating automated search, production, and selection. It is a landmark masterpiece in the industrial history of the Netherworld.
Jiang Yan was stunned when he saw the introduction.
No, shouldn't the Netherworld be associated with mystery, death, and fear? This description gives off a mass-produced factory vibe.
It's completely lost its classiness!
"Alright, let's see how it goes first." Jiang Yan sensed the building's central control system and set the required skeleton type to Skeleton Mage.
One after another, strange altars began to operate, and in less than ten seconds, intact skeletons appeared on the altars, each accompanied by a slender, magically pulsating bone staff.
So intelligent and efficient?
Jiang Yan's initial surprise greatly changed his opinion of the building.
It truly is a landmark masterpiece, a wonderful piece!
With his right hand clenched, the dark jade-colored Calamity appeared in his hand, and Jiang Yan drew upon the source of death within his body.
Necromancer Domination!
In an instant, all the bones seemed to come alive, automatically connecting one by one and quickly piecing together a complete human shape. In the center of the skull's sunken eye sockets, two green flames quietly lit up.
They remained silent, bowing their heads in Jiang Yan's direction.
