"Under the witness of all realms and the fundamental laws, I, Helenzollr, in the name of the Lord of Space, today dedicate myself to becoming a subordinate pantheon of the Holy Light Pantheon. From this day forward, all faith and glory belong to the Lord of the Holy Light..."
"Under the witness of all realms and the fundamental laws, I, Atoric, in the name of the Lord of Destruction, today dedicate myself to becoming a subordinate pantheon of the Necromancer pantheon. From this day forward, all faith and glory belong to the Necromancer Emperor..."
"exist..."
Under Losia's threatening gaze, the gods reluctantly swore oaths according to the compatibility of their respective pantheons.
Even the Fire God did not resist—he was just a little short-tempered, but not stupid.
A series of sounds of law resounded in Jiang Yan's ears:
"Wings of Eternal Soaring, Guide of the Void Storm, Breath of the Unfathomable, the Wind God Orifion makes a request of you. Do you agree?"
"...Do you agree to the subordinate request made by the Space God Lord Helenzor?"
“...”
Jiang Yan's gaze swept over the gods, taking in the resentment on their faces.
However, once the ritual is complete, their divine status can be stripped away with a single thought, rendering them incapable of causing any further trouble. At the same time, the laws of holy light will subtly enhance their faith.
"allow."
The calm voice, like a grand bell, resonated with the heavens and earth.
Instantly, wisps of fine threads rose from the law imprints in front of each of the gods and floated toward Jiang Yan.
The three divine positions deep within the soul simultaneously emerged, casting a dazzling light and continuously assimilating and devouring the power of the various fundamental laws.
Abundant radiance and pure death energy emerged from nothingness, vast as never before, stronger than almost all other laws combined.
They devoured and drove out all other laws, squeezing and colliding with each other without yielding to one another.
At this moment, an invisible ripple suddenly swept across the divine position belonging to the "Lord of Reincarnation." The point where the two collided no longer annihilated each other, but gradually merged into a new power.
At the same time, hazy ripples spread from the two constantly rotating voids behind Jiang Yan, and gradually evolved into a third and a fourth void.
Instantly, a terrifying pressure comparable to the highest power surged from his body, and everyone except Loshia was forced to retreat.
"What kind of power is this? How could a main god be this strong?!"
"No... This is a completely new law, unbelievable! How could the realms allow a new law to be born... Wait, could it be...!"
The gods, having lived for countless eons, possessed extraordinary insight and almost instantly grasped a certain possibility.
When she looked at Jiang Yan again, the resentment in her eyes had faded considerably, replaced by a complex light.
Well, it seems that although the opportunity to become "above the highest" has been lost, the chance of survival has greatly increased.
Meanwhile, the eyes of the Holy Light and the Undead pantheon were filled with reverence:
"The Holy Lord/Emperor has become even stronger!"
On the other side, Jiang Yan was naturally unaware of what the gods were thinking. At this moment, his attention was drawn to a series of long-awaited notifications from various realms.
[The Holy Light/Undead Laws you have mastered are compatible with twenty-six laws, including Supreme Space and Fire... (which cannot be advanced). Now, you or your subordinates can quickly master the relevant divine spells by consuming Faith Power.]
[You have gained a great deal of new faith. The prayers of all the believers from the original twenty-six pantheons, including those of space, water, and fire, will become your faith after the transformation.]
The power of Holy Light/the Laws of the Undead has increased dramatically.
[Your Reincarnation Divine Art has undergone a positive mutation; please continue to absorb the laws to perfect it.]
These were all within his expectations. Besides considering their powerful combat strength, this was also an important reason why he didn't choose to kill these gods earlier.
Accepting their allegiance allows for the fastest possible fusion with other laws. Killing them, however, necessitates waiting for a suitable successor to the divine position and for them to complete their fusion before the corresponding power of the laws can be absorbed.
After briefly familiarizing himself with his current power, Jiang Yan continued looking down.
[Since your power has surpassed the limits of the main god and you possess a divine rank of at least the highest level, the advanced advancement quest has been activated.]
[Please note! Advanced quests will appear as a quest chain; you must complete the prerequisites before you can proceed to the next step.]
[First Phase Pre-Requisite Tasks: Supreme.]
[Mission Description: The premature outbreak of war among the gods has forced the end of the second phase of the main quest, compelling all realms to begin the third phase of the main quest ahead of schedule: Supreme Being.]
[Mission Requirements: Please subdue at least 80 or more pantheons.]
[Task Reward: Unlocks the next stage of the Supreme Advancement Task; additional rewards will be granted based on completion progress.]
"Advanced Quest to the Supreme Level..."
Jiang Yan repeatedly scanned the descriptions of the various realms. This mission did not require him to draw anything, and it consisted of multiple tasks.
"Luckily, we acted early."
Jiang Yan suddenly felt a sense of relief.
If this drags on any longer, and all the pantheons have recovered to their supreme state, the situation may completely reverse.
Twenty-seven powerful supreme beings...
Even if you're lucky enough to summon the Zerg Overmind again using "Echo of Death," you might not be able to win.
This is a completely different concept, especially for basic rule gods like the "Power God" who was instantly killed by him.
Limited by the fact that he cannot use many methods at the main god level, his strength can only be ranked outside the top twentieth. However, after recovering to the supreme level, his physical body is almost indestructible. He can shatter laws with a casual punch. His strength in one-on-one combat can definitely rank in the top five.
However, nowadays, completing this first task is simple; he doesn't even need to lift a finger.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan suppressed the strange phenomena of the laws, shifted his gaze back to the gods, and said calmly:
"Considering that you ultimately surrendered voluntarily, your divine positions will be temporarily preserved, however..."
Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, the gods breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard the word "however," their hearts sank again.
After all, once the submission ceremony is completed, everything is up to the other party's whim.
“Your resistance has cost me countless brave warriors and potential believers. I may be spared death, but I will not escape punishment.”
As he spoke, Jiang Yan pointed in a certain direction: "There are still 43 pantheons there that are not under the illumination of the Holy Light. Now, go and guide them back to the right path."
"Each person must bring back at least one pantheon in order to retain their divine position. If this is not done..."
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint but powerful aura swept over the gods: "Then give up your divine position and go work under Anubis to atone for your sins."
"We respectfully obey the divine decree, Lord God."
The gods felt relieved and bowed in agreement.
So all they did was try to persuade the other pantheons to surrender? That's too easy. But they need to act quickly, as these pantheons must have sent people to keep a close eye on the battle from afar.
The outcome is now decided; it would be disastrous if they were too afraid to surrender.
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, then turned to the gods of the Holy Light and the Undead.
"You may all return to rest and recuperate. Once everything is settled, we will reward you one by one."
