Two days later.
"So that's why you're locked up here?"
Jiang Yan, who rushed back to Holy Spirit City, looked at Luo Qianyu, who was imprisoned, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Didn't you give me my name?
"What do you think?" Luo Qianyu rolled her eyes at her, annoyed.
"They were convicted for even calling out one of your men's names; if they were to address you by your name directly, they'd probably be killed on the spot by your extremist henchmen!"
"Well..."
Thinking about the Holy Light Tribunal's style of doing things, Jiang Yan was speechless for a moment.
"Jiang Yan, you have to give me a way out," Luo Qianyu said helplessly.
To become a god, one needs to satisfy both the number of believers and the number of local devout followers.
The former can be bought with money, but if the latter cannot be preached normally, then they can only be slowly worn down by some wild tribes and clans.
Just like Jiang Yan in his previous life, it took him three more years to become a lower-level god.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
Although they had fought together several times, their relationship could be roughly described as that of a top player and a cheerleader.
But the third emperor once said, "Faith and death are the only possible salvation."
In any case, in the entire 037 Novice Dimension, faith can only belong to him alone.
With the threat of the abyss looming, we can show the necessary mercy, but we must never do anything that might slow down progress.
"However, if it's just about becoming a god, I can give you two options."
"Hmm? You tell me." Luo Qianyu's eyes lit up slightly. As long as she could become a god, that would be good enough.
"The first way is to become a god of the Holy Light. Spread your faith for the Holy Light, and it will reward you with laws based on your performance, helping you to become a god."
Jiang Yan smiled.
This is the practice of most pantheons. The only drawback is that it has high requirements for subordinate gods, who need to have good aptitude to become gods under the feedback of the laws.
However, the lords all possess talents bestowed by the various realms, and in a sense, those above B rank all have the potential to become gods, so this drawback can be ignored.
"What about the second option?"
Luo Qianyu pouted. Wasn't this just going to be a free laborer?
It sounds nice, but in reality it's like spreading the word to a hundred believers, and the other party reciprocates with the faith of ten.
Even capitalists aren't this stingy!
"The second path is simple."
Jiang Yan waved his hand, displaying a magical map projection, and pointed to some areas marked in red on it, saying:
"These are evil creatures that have strayed from the Holy Light. Clearing them out will naturally gain you the favor of the undead. The more you kill, the more the laws of the undead will favor you and help you become a god."
"However, if you choose this path, you'd better hurry."
"Why?" Luo Qianyu asked subconsciously.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of barriers, looking towards a certain place.
"Any later and they might all be killed."
...
In the eastern part of the continent, there is a principality on an island.
The teleportation array flashed.
A six-winged angel appeared in the sky.
She glanced casually at the land below, which was less than 380,000 square kilometers.
No trace of faith was found.
The Holy Lord once said that all beings on this continent who are of the Lawful Good alignment retain at least a degree of faith in the Holy Light, therefore...
Identify the target, disrupt evil.
Treatment method: purification.
The six-winged angel, who made the decision in an instant, gently tapped the Holy Light Box.
Holy scriptures, scepters, and longswords surrounded him, radiating abundant holy light.
Four attack magic arrays solidified in the air.
But at the moment of making the move, Analia hesitated slightly and added another magic circle.
The next moment, the five formations merged, and divine punishment descended.
Endless holy light descended from the sky, and the island nation's guardian deity, whose strongest power was only at the mid-level god realm, only then realized that disaster was imminent.
He disregarded the wicked research he was secretly conducting and was preparing to activate the teleportation array to escape.
A cold voice rang out.
"All evil magic is ineffective, it must be stopped!"
Teleportation arrays rely primarily on spatial laws, and are therefore considered one of the evil arts.
In an instant, the magic array that had just begun to operate dimmed.
"No!"
Before the mid-level god could react, he was completely dissolved by the descending divine punishment.
boom!
After the endless holy light lasted for a full three minutes, Anna withdrew her divine spell.
At this point, the original island had completely disappeared.
Analia did not leave immediately; instead, an unnatural expression flashed across her face.
She unleashed the full pressure of a high god, and only after confirming that all living beings within a 500-kilometer radius had been driven away did she stealthily descend.
He withdrew his holy light and stiffly began to manipulate a spell he had never encountered before.
Necromancer Summoning!
After Jiang Yan becomes a god, he can activate divine grace and temporarily grant believers a power of their own.
In an instant, a completely opposite law of power descended.
Dead bodies rose from the sea, silently bowing their heads around the six-winged angels filled with divine power.
A hint of disgust flashed in Annalia's eyes as she waved her hand and precisely teleported these newly born undead creatures to various dangerous underground mines.
This is the command of the Holy Lord.
Death should not be the end for evil creatures, but the beginning of their journey of atonement.
After doing all this, she glanced at the map and teleported to another area without hesitation.
—That new undead is too annoying.
Upon returning, he volunteered to lead an expedition to expand the influence of Holy Spirit City.
As the legitimate successor of Holy Spirit City, she naturally could not lose to those despicable evil spirits.
This is a silent competition!
Meanwhile, in another area of the beginner continent, there is Death Valley.
It is said that a group of inhuman and lawless monsters are hiding inside.
Due to its strategic location, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has never been cleared.
This emboldened them.
Not long ago, they even dared to rob a group of potential believers of the Church of Holy Light.
A flash of black light appeared.
Asar, riding a bone dragon, appeared on the outskirts of the valley with an army of millions of undead.
"Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
The soul of the Nightmare Warhorse, towering ten thousand feet high, solidified and, under Asar's control, charged headlong into the majestic mountain range without flinching.
Boom!
Amidst a series of loud bangs and explosions.
The continuous mountain range was crushed into powder, and countless monsters lurking within were swallowed up by the torrent of death before they could even react.
A few gods who, seeing the situation was not good, tried to fly away from the sky, but were turned to ashes by a breath of the bone dragon that had been circling and waiting.
In just half an hour.
The infamous Valley of Death was razed to the ground, leaving behind only a group of terrified believers who stared at the army of the dead as they passed by.
...
Meanwhile, in Holy Spirit City.
Watching Luo Qianyu leave in a hurry, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and sent the two godhood plans to the chat channel.
Luo Qianyu's situation served as a wake-up call for him.
With most lords about to arrive on the continent, it's time to let them make their choices in advance.
Jiang Yan silently apologized in his heart.
His actions may have gone a bit too far, but just as well, when the Abyss fully invades.
As the inheritor of two unique divine positions, he would naturally stand at the forefront without hesitation, fighting to the death.
After doing all this, Jiang Yan gave a shout and teleported to a newly completed building in the Angel District.
With our territory expanding, it's time to recruit a new batch of warriors.
