Chapter 327 The First General Meeting of Holy Spirit City
July of the 6th year of the Holy Light.
Her Majesty Losia, the War Angel and the strongest warrior under the Holy Lord, fought three Supreme Beings in succession and defeated them all.
Afterwards, the three supreme beings joined forces to besiege Your Majesty and defeated you.
He then threatened that the results of the duel must not be leaked, but His Majesty refused.
As a result, both sides suffered heavy losses.

......
One month later, at the Holy Spirit City Main Temple, Conference Center.
This place has been modified many times by the dwarves. Apart from the throne at the very front, the seating area is divided into three levels.
The first floor has two side-by-side areas, with high-ranking angels such as Analia and Loshia seated on the left.
On the right are Death, Sheena, and other high-ranking members of the undead race.
The second layer belongs to the subordinate pantheon and other main gods or above. It is currently quite empty, with only "Song God" Lilanser remaining.
The third layer is the largest area, and it includes stewards from various areas of Holy Spirit City, outstanding staff representatives, devout believers, and those favored by God.
At this moment, a distinguished representative of the dwarf squad looked around somewhat nervously and whispered to the rugged-looking, friendly-looking shield-wielding man beside him, "Hey, Shield One, do you know why the lord summoned us here?"
“You’ve come to the right person. Yesterday, when Lord Jacob returned to Holy Spirit City, I happened to be guarding the city gate. We chatted for a bit, and I heard it was a very joyous occasion related to a divine position.”
Shield One didn't mince words and answered directly.
Those who are qualified to enter this meeting room are obviously assumed to have the right to know.
"A divine position!"
The dwarf gasped in surprise, then quickly covered his mouth. After a long while, he cautiously said, "But what does this have to do with us? I'm just an employee. Only the adults who fight to the death on the front lines deserve the rewards."
"You don't understand. The deputy city lord once said that construction and logistics are equally important parts of the development of Holy Spirit City, and every hardworking person will receive the reward they deserve."
Shield One lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "According to Lord Yaberlik, the deputy city lord is the lord's childhood sweetheart. Her words, to a certain extent, represent the lord's intentions. Since we can sit here, it means that we at least have the qualifications to compete for the reward!"
"Brother Shield's words are worth more than a bottle of strong liquor!"
Upon hearing this, the dwarf's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "The Holy Lord once promised us dwarves a divine position, and I never thought it would actually come true... Alas, it's a pity there are only 24 hours in a day. To be able to work for such a generous lord, I really wish there were 48 or even 72 hours in a day!"
"That's right. I've been following the lord for a long time. He's humble, righteous, brave... he possesses all the best qualities. It's an honor to serve such a lord."
Shield One agreed.
"That's right..."
Just as the two were about to continue their flattery, a familiar and majestic aura suddenly descended upon the throne.
The entire conference hall fell silent, and the angels and high-ranking undead on the first floor all rose to their feet and bow.
"Holy Lord/Emperor".
"No need for formalities, please take your seats."
As the golden light faded, Jiang Yan, with a gentle smile on his face, sat on the divine throne.
He scanned the crowd and went straight to the point:
"I've called you here today for two main reasons."
"The Abyss has been temporarily suppressed, and all realms have gained a rare opportunity for peace and development. I hope that within the next hundred years, all pantheons can be unified so that we can concentrate all our strength to deal with the Abyss."
"Great God, we are willing to spread your glory and sweep away all heresy!"
The crowd shouted with fervent expressions.
Jiang Yan raised his hand slightly, and only smiled after the shouting stopped: "So the first thing is to improve the merit system."
“The ancient gods are not pushovers; the stronger ones among them are very likely to unite and put up a stubborn resistance. Therefore, we must be prepared to fight against all pantheons at the same time.”
"This requires not only a strong and well-trained army, but also sufficient logistical support to sustain a protracted war, as well as the ability to respond to additional battlefields such as the information war."
"Therefore, in order to help everyone work together better and to ensure that those who have made contributions are not overlooked, I have specially created many subsystems using the 'God-Making Sequence' to assist you all."
As he spoke, Jiang Yan waved his hand, and one by one, strange orbs of light representing the laws of nature floated toward each other.
Those present were all the most devout believers or subordinates, so they naturally did not hesitate and directly reached out to merge.
“These subsystems have different functions.”
After everyone merged, Jiang Yan explained, "For example, Etherra is mainly responsible for preaching. Her fusion is the God-Making Sequence - the Preaching System. She can use this system to load other believers and issue tasks."
"The system will digitize the promotion of believers' faith levels. For example, it takes 1,000 faith points to go from the honored level to the fanatical level."
"Tasks can be assigned to them through the subsystem, such as praying for two hours every day. After completing the task, they will receive 2 faith points."
"Or you can complete a period of asceticism and gain 5 faith points."
"We all know that if you don't get real-time feedback when doing something, it's easy to get discouraged. On the contrary, like pursuing a girl, if you can see in real time the positive impact of your every action and the total progress needed to win her over, your enthusiasm will increase significantly."
Jiang Yan looked at Aisera and smiled, "Of course, you need to change the names of the promotions. For example, change the Revered Faith level to Reserve Priest, the Fanatical level to Bishop, the Devout level to Saint, and so on. Also, improve the corresponding benefits... This will make it more attractive."
“I understand, Holy Lord.” Etherra nodded with delight, clearly recognizing the advantages of this feature.
"Yes, these subsystems have different functions. In addition to the tasks issued to your subordinates, there are also exclusive tasks for you. Completing these tasks will increase your merits and grant you a one-star to nine-star honorary title in Holy Spirit City."
"You can review and study these on your own after the meeting. Now, I'd like to announce the second important item on the agenda for this meeting."
Jiang Yan's expression turned serious, and he said:
"Each of you has played a pivotal role in the development of Holy Spirit City, or has been kind to me, so I will offer a portion of my divine position to all of you present."
Upon hearing this, the higher-ups were relatively unperturbed, since a universal divine position was better than nothing to them.
The people in the third-floor area immediately became excited.
"Oh my god... am I dreaming?"
"The divine position... the supreme god!"
"I'm just an insignificant dwarf..."
"I'm just a doorman..."
Seeing the excited believers, Jiang Yan didn't interrupt them, but just smiled and watched them.
When you lack ability, you can only make empty promises; once you have the ability, you naturally cannot mistreat the subordinates who have fought alongside you.
After a long while, once everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit, Jiang Yan continued:
"In addition, I will set aside an extra 100 universal divine positions, and open up a series of categories such as combat power, support, and scientific research, open to all living beings in the myriad worlds, in order to recruit more talented elites for Holy Spirit City to deal with the crisis to come."
"Of course, you may also send people to participate in the competition."
"No registration fee is required for anyone whose faith is at the Honored level or above, while non-believers are required to pay a registration fee."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly:
"I named it the First Conferred God List of Holy Spirit City."
