Over the Fire City.
A seven-colored magical halo rose up in layers.
This is the highest level of magical defense system, said to have been created by a group of gods, capable of withstanding continuous attacks from ordinary forbidden spells.
But despite this.
The soldiers below were trembling.
Anyone would feel insecure if 3,000 bone dragons, each hundreds of meters long, were circling overhead.
"Your Majesty, it seems we are not welcome here. Why don't you go back and rest, and leave the rest to me?"
Hina's eyes lit up.
Along the way, all the forces we encountered were too cowardly; none of them dared to resist.
Now I've finally met someone with courage.
"Just break the magic shield," Jiang Yan nodded.
The Fiery Empire is the next major target for conquest; giving them a proper warning will make them more sensible.
"Alright, as you wish."
With some regret, Sheena took down her longbow, reached out to nock an arrow, and 18 black arrows gradually took shape as energy was poured into them.
"How dare you...!"
At that moment, it seemed as if a massive amount of energy was condensing in the sky above.
A large group of gods flew towards us from below.
One of them looked angry and was about to shout at them.
But he found that the three thousand bone dragons had all turned their heads silently, their eyes, like burning eerie flames, staring intently at him.
The chilling aura of death was ever-present.
He felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously changed his words:
"...Who dares to stop our distinguished guests? Turn off the magic defense system immediately."
No one laughed at him.
When faced with this terrifying legion of bone dragons, they realized how ridiculous their previous ideas were; even the weakest of them was several times stronger than them.
Damn it, who wrote this biographical novel? It keeps emphasizing that the undead are the weakest among their peers.
Many of the gods cursed inwardly and subconsciously took a few steps back, except for one person who remained in place.
He was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe with a calm demeanor.
The powerful fire-elemental laws and divine power surrounding him proved his identity—the God of Fire.
His gaze swept over the crowd.
3,000 skeletal dragons, ten undead high gods, three powerful beings with divine positions... and two beings that are completely unfathomable.
One could even clearly sense that the laws of fire were yielding and submitting.
—This is absolutely beyond our ability to defeat.
The Flame God's expression grew increasingly serious as he made a decision in an instant.
He casually instructed those around him, "This level of battle is not something you can participate in. Go back and wait for news, so as not to get caught in the crossfire."
"Yes, Lord Fire God."
The crowd felt as if they had been granted a pardon and retreated without hesitation.
The opponent's pressure was simply too overwhelming. Not to mention fighting, if it weren't for the large number of believers watching below, they would have knelt down on the spot. Staying would only be a hindrance.
Sensing the departing crowd, the Flame God's expression relaxed somewhat, and he spoke:
"To avoid harming innocent people, shall we go somewhere else?"
"Okay, Losia."
Jiang Yan nodded.
He didn't know much about the God of Fire, but in his previous life, when he was operating within the Fire Empire, he had indirectly received the protection of the God of Fire.
Therefore, I don't mind giving the other party some time to prepare.
At the same time, Loshia gently flapped her wings, and the group appeared on a deserted mountain range a thousand miles away.
Mass teleportation?!
The Flame God was filled with shock and disbelief. Just what level of powerhouse was this?
Fortunately, he was prepared and had memorized the important intelligence information in advance.
"You should know why I'm here," Jiang Yan said bluntly.
He no longer needs to feign politeness.
"Of course, Creator of all things, Master of the gods, Controller of the Holy Light, All-knowing and All-powerful Lord of Light, you have come to spread the faith of the Holy Light."
The God of Fire stood up, forcing a smile: "Just let me know if there's anything you need my help with."
He was able to live a carefree life as an ordinary high-ranking god because he was flexible and knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Previously, the Lord of Reapers from the Necromancer Empire had forcibly used the Flame Empire's teleportation array without even giving a heads-up. So what? He tolerated it.
Later, when the Lord of Harvest died, a large number of treasures were exposed there. Even the lower gods of Northland couldn't resist trying to snatch them, but he still refrained from doing so.
As a result, all of those lower-level gods died.
He had seen plenty of young people like this who were arrogant and ignorant, and who stirred up trouble everywhere just because they had some power.
Sooner or later, he'll run into someone even more powerful and get killed.
Then he will find these guys' graves and grind their bones to dust! Let them feel the wrath of an ancient, supreme god!
The God of Fire roared with rage in his heart, but the smile on his face grew even brighter.
Jiang Yan naturally didn't care what the other party thought, and said with some surprise, "In that case, I will send some missionaries over in a couple of days. You find some people and build the temple according to their requirements."
"no problem."
"Furthermore, I do not wish to encounter any official obstacles in the process of preaching."
"Rest assured, Your Excellency."
The God of Fire assured him that he had experienced this many times in his long life and was very familiar with it.
"Um..."
Seeing how sensible the other party was, Jiang Yan felt a little uncomfortable. After pondering for a moment, he said:
"As the Holy Lord of Light, I am not an unreasonable person. Here's what I'll tell you: I'll tell you a secret."
"You seize faith and imitate names, presumably to steal divine positions. But I can tell you, the real God of Fire is not dead, and your plan is doomed to fail."
Is this really true?
Upon hearing this, the Fire God's expression changed, and he quickly took out a small statue of a man holding a sword.
"really."
The little man with the sword plunges a long sword into his chest—reality is mostly painful, so this represents the truth.
"This, this is impossible!"
Upon hearing the devastating news, the Fire God staggered and nearly fell from the sky, muttering incessantly.
"However, a divine position does not necessarily have to be obtained by stealing."
Seeing the Flame God's eyes darken, Jiang Yan changed the subject, seizing the opportunity to make a promise:
"If you are willing to switch your allegiance to the Holy Light and make sufficient contributions, I may consider granting you a divine position."
A divine position can be bestowed? Do you think I'm stupid?!
Upon hearing this, the disheartened Flame God could no longer restrain himself and sneered, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse.
But then, the little man with the sword pulled the sword from his chest and stabbed down again.
"Really...really?"
"certainly."
The sword-wielding figure gave the two men a resentful look, then drew the sword from his chest again and stabbed them fiercely.
The Fire God's dim eyes suddenly lit up.
It turns out that divine positions can be bestowed.
So what was the purpose of all those years of hard work in building his faith and enduring humiliation?
He's worse than an idiot!
He couldn't help but look up and ask:
"Great Holy Lord of Light, how can one be considered to have made a sufficient contribution?"
"As long as you are devout enough and strive to spread the holy light, you will be blessed one day," Jiang Yan said with a smile, continuing to offer empty promises.
"Understood, I will do my best!"
The allure of a divine position is fatal to any ordinary deity, let alone the God of Fire, who has been trapped in the position of a high-ranking deity for a long time.
He had already started making plans in his mind.
When the missionaries of the Church of Holy Light arrive, they will smash all the statues in the Temple of Fire and transform it into a temple of the Church of Holy Light.
They also needed to keep this news from the other gods as much as possible to avoid them competing with them.
That traitor, Gale God, dared to slander the great Holy Lord of Light; he must be arrested.
Furthermore... those material possessions in God's Kingdom are of no use anymore and can all be donated to the Church of Holy Light.
So, what should I call myself after I obtain godhood? How about calling myself the Holy Flame God?
But the Flame God, lost in his fantasy, did not notice.
This time, the little figure holding the sword slowly pulled the sword from its chest and did not stab again.
