Volume 4 Chapter 603: Rapid Development
After seeing off Shar, the true great god, Levi was silent for a few days. Together with Donna and others, he worked hard to build his own kingdom of God, develop the church, spread faith, and strive to master his own priesthood and field.
With so many new gods appearing at once, they all need a lot of time to develop before they can truly unleash their full power.
For most of the new gods, gaining a firm foothold and not giving the enemy any opportunity to take advantage is more important than expanding territory.
But this certainly does not include Levi, so he went to the Dwarven pantheon and roughly confirmed that the two sides could cooperate in purifying the Chaos Dwarves in the Dark Land in the future.
Without Hasut, the Chaos Dwarves will not be able to use magic or drive away demons, but their evil nature will not change quickly and they still need guidance from the Dwarf Gods.
It's just that it's easy to learn bad things but difficult to learn good things. Even the dwarf gods can't quickly change the thinking and behavior patterns that have been formed for thousands of years in a short period of time.
Even with the death of Hasut, some Chaos Dwarves who were extremely hungry for power had turned to other Demon Gods, or even the Four Chaos Gods, for help.
In fact, they did have some doubts about Hasut, so they didn't have much psychological barriers to joining other demon gods.
This forced the dwarf gods, who had originally planned to proceed slowly, to change their plans, and also gave Levi an opportunity.
As the god of light and purification, he must be able to play a significant role in this matter.
In return, in addition to the friendship of the dwarven gods, Levi will also obtain a lot of knowledge possessed by the Chaos Dwarves regarding the manufacture of various war machines and demonic machinery.
He certainly didn't want to continue using it, but wanted to absorb the essence from it, try to create his own special construct, or even obtain a construct or other related priesthood.
Constructs are very common, and all the gods of death generally have the ability to collect soul fragments, so if someone wants to imitate it, theoretically the Sphinx on the Fear Rock and others can be imitated.
So Levi now hopes to combine Jergal's secrets of the realm of death, the manufacturing principles of Death Guards, and the forbidden knowledge possessed by the Chaos Dwarves to create a special Death Guard that truly belongs to him.
Once successful, his next plan can officially begin.
Next is the knowledge about the Rune Golem, the highest creation of the Dwarven Rune Power.
Tengeni, the dwarven god of rune magic and rune blacksmiths, invented the power of runes, created the special profession of rune blacksmiths, and also invented the rune golem.
But he never carried out large-scale promotion.
Levi had always been very puzzled about this, because the existence of the Rune Golem would have a profound impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire dwarf race. Why did the dwarf gods give up?
But now he knew that to create a rune golem, soul fragments were also needed to unlock its wisdom, but the dwarves had no orthodox gods of death, so it was difficult to obtain soul fragments in large quantities through formal channels.
So now when Levi proposed cooperation, the dwarf gods were also very enthusiastic.
However, although the Chaos Dwarves have temporarily calmed down, the colony has not calmed down, because the lord of the 524th layer of the Abyss, the father of ogres - Vaprak, proclaimed himself the new God of Ogres.
Under his instigation, the Ogre Kingdom became increasingly chaotic.
Originally, it was a melee between the four legendary ogres: the Golden Tooth Tyrant - Greysu, the Cannibal - Gogfarg, the Ripper - Prague and the Slaughterer - Scrag, as well as nearly a hundred large and small ogre tribes.
Later, the cannibals were recruited by Cathay to serve as mercenaries, while the Ripper defected to Khorne.
Now the Slayers who are more inclined to magic have been bribed by the Father of Ogres, leaving only the Golden Tooth Tyrant Greysu, known as the Big Golden Tooth, who is considered the most orthodox ogre.
Now many ogres are fighting each other fiercely, and small groups of defeated soldiers invade the border from time to time. It can be predicted that the situation will not subside until the outcome is completely determined.
After receiving this news, Levi communicated with Lilith and the Aurora God System, and finally decided to support Big Gold Teeth.
Big Gold Fang is the smartest ogre. Even if he finally unifies all the ogres, he will never go against the Cathay or Elf pantheons.
After getting the support of Li Wei and others, Big Gold Teeth directly declared himself the Fat Overlord with Gold Teeth.
He vowed to unify the ogre kingdom, expel heretical gods such as Khorne and the Ogre Father, and ensure that all ogres would always have food to eat and eat whenever they wanted.
As a result, he instantly won the support of a large number of ogres, and gradually gained the upper hand in this internal melee within the race.
Moreover, he is strong enough and smart enough. Unless the father of ogres, Vaprak, comes in person, it is impossible for other ogres to kill him.
Levi also left a token for Big Gold Fang, so that if he encountered danger or the Ogre Father arrived, Big Gold Fang could directly call for reinforcements.
In return, both the elves and the Zhendan Dynasty can obtain a steady supply of high-quality ogre mercenaries from Big Gold Fang.
As long as there is enough food, the fighting power of the ogres is still very trustworthy, and ordinary ogres are almost immune to the corruption of the Four Chaos Gods.
The Ripper is the only exception at present. An ogre who doesn't like to eat but likes to kill is really rare.
Of course, if they don't have enough food to eat, the chance of the ogres rebelling will inevitably increase sharply. However, neither Levi nor Zhendan can obviously be short of money for food.
After becoming a god, there are so many ways to make money.
For example, Levi went to the star realm several times in person and found some divine blood that was used to forge divine artifacts. If he sold them, he could easily earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
For example, within the kingdom of God, he can adjust some physical rules to a limited extent. If he uses additional divine power, he can even transform ore directly into pure gold, which is the true alchemy.
Or if he is willing to put in some effort, he can fly directly into outer space to look for various resources.
Gold and diamonds, which are precious in the main world, are relatively abundant in space.
For other gods, once this behavior gets out, it may damage the reputation and dignity of the gods.
But for Levi, now is not the time to be concerned about this. He really needs resources to conduct various experiments and produce a large number of Death Guards.
You can't possibly be a god now and still be counting on Khalida for support, right?
Then Levi began to try to comprehend the origin of death. In fact, under normal circumstances, with his current strength, it is impossible to do this.
But now is not a normal situation. Yager, who originally occupied the largest share of the origin of death, directly and completely withdrew from the Crystal Wall System and gave everything he had to Levi, including his understanding of the origin of death and his share.
Of course, it is not possible to succeed so easily in obtaining the origin of death. The power of the origin requires the comprehension of each god himself, and then gaining the recognition of the origin and the world. No god can give it to other gods.
But this did allow Levi to truly come into contact with the power of the origin in a very short period of time, and it opened a crack in the door to the origin for him, allowing him to see what was inside the door.
This benefit is already very great. It allows Levi to rely on his own strength earlier and more easily to truly understand the origin of death.
Although Levi has not made any significant progress so far, he has confirmed one thing.
Jergal originally occupied about 40% of the origin of death, which was the highest share and exceeded the combined share of all other death gods.
Qingjia and Kelanwo, about 8% each;
Bane, who was once one of the three gods of death, still has about 3% now. Tsukuyomi of the Nibon pantheon is slightly weaker.
As for the many gods of death from other pantheons, they suddenly became much weaker, such as Yama from the Inda pantheon, who was probably less than 1%.
But he is already very good. People like Anubis, Lucia, Nisu, Arthas, Black Dog, etc., like Levi, are all 0.
The only thing that surprised Levi was that the madman Xirik was also 0. You have to know that he was a level 15 godhood in his prime, but he didn't have any origin of death. It can only be said that he really didn't put his mind on the real business. If he had a 1% share, he wouldn't be deprived of the priesthood of death so easily.
Now that Yager has fled to other crystal wall systems, it means that nearly 80% of the source of death is ownerless!
Although the origin of death is not simply that if you have less, he will have more, but for all the gods of death, this is a rare opportunity.
So Levi even copied part of Jaeger's knowledge and gave it to Lucia and others, allowing them to try to comprehend it.
I can’t say how much more it is, but even if it’s only 0.1%, it’s a rare progress.
A few days later, Ketatlin successfully contacted the bear god, Ersun, and Ersun's attitude was quite good.
But when it came to specific cooperation, Ersun was a little evasive, saying that he was short of money and needed to accumulate some strength before making a deal with Levi.
Levi appeared calm on the surface, but he actually had some guesses.
Compared to the reasons given by Ersun, he would rather believe that Ersun was busy with other matters and wanted to become stronger before negotiating with him.
Previously, the Red Prince accidentally encountered Winnie the Pooh, one of the four servants of the Arctic God, which may have given Ersun a bold idea.
If the Arctic God is dead, Ersun might be able to get some benefits, or at the very least, he might be able to get the other three servants of the Arctic God.
But Levi felt that Ersun’s actions might not be so smooth, because it was the Horned Rat who attacked Winnie the Pooh. Would the Horned Rat be satisfied with just this?
Ersun's godhood level is 7, and the Horned Rat has recently been officially announced to be promoted to a weaker divine power. The gap between the two is not that big, but in terms of conspiracy and intrigue, Levi doesn't think Ersun can beat the Horned Rat.
But since Ersun didn't want to say this, Levi was too lazy to remind him. He always treated people with respect. If Ersun played tricks on him, he would just find other partners. Ersun was not irreplaceable.
However, Levi was unable to cope with the situation for the time being, so he told Lilith about this speculation. With Lilith's social network, he believed that this information could be used to the greatest extent possible.
By the time things in the underworld were back on track, Anubis and Lucia had already built the framework of the kingdom of God and were able to assist Levi in performing his duties as the god of death, Levi's experiment was successful.
All the Death Guards who bear his mark, as well as the three major celestial clans, can grab soul fragments after killing the enemy.
Moreover, the mark created by Levi is very intelligent. It will only target those hopelessly evil creatures, such as demons or devils, etc.
If the enemy is a friendly force of the good camp, or a believer of other gods, etc., the mark will not work.
After slightly improving the content in this area, Levi's plan really began to accelerate.
At the same time, Levi also learned from the knowledge left by Yager that this old guy did not go to other crystal wall systems just to play, he was indeed going to realize his dream, and his dream was called transcendence.
He wanted to completely abandon his faith and become a true god above all gods, free from any constraints, just like Shar in ancient times.
According to his speculation, the first necessary prerequisite to achieve this goal is naturally to master a large amount of original power.
As for the second one, it may be necessary to possess certain characteristics of multiple crystal wall systems at the same time.
At that time, Shar, Su Lun and others were not only rampant in the Zodiac Tianyu Crystal Wall System, they were also famous in other Crystal Wall Systems.
But later, because of the war between Shar and Suren, the strength of each other was seriously damaged, and a large number of new gods appeared, dividing their power and control over the origin, and their strength declined rapidly.
Even now, although Shar is still very powerful, she still needs the power of faith to maintain her existence.
Yege also speculated that it would be impossible for new gods above gods to appear in the Zodiac Universe, because when the Four Gods of Chaos were wreaking havoc, Asuryan and others launched a dimensionality reduction plan, which also affected certain rules of the Crystal Wall System.
That's why Yager decided to flee to other crystal wall systems, because he had almost no chance of success in the Zodiac Universe.
However, Yager also said that perhaps Levi was the only exception because he was not originally from Zodiac Tianyu.
If one day, the Four Chaos Gods are completely wiped out, and Asuryan and others' dimensionality reduction plan is useless, the rules of the Zodiac Sky may change again. If Levi has mastered enough original power by then, then perhaps he will have the possibility of becoming the new God above Gods.
But even now, Levi is not sure how much of what the old man Yager said is true and how much is false.
What he was thinking about now was that Shar was absolutely aware of Yager's dream, but she never mentioned it before. Instead, she was just making fun of him. She was indeed a bad woman!
After using the power of faith accumulated by the three major celestial clans over the years to create a new incarnation, Levi contacted Sigma and Seleket, planning to go to the ruins of "God Ra" to help Seleket retrieve some of the sealed power and eliminate the evil and poison of "Ra".
The process went unexpectedly smoothly. The guy sealed inside didn't have much power to begin with and was no match for Sigma at all.
In addition, Levi had a treasure in his hand that was obtained from Tefnut and originally belonged to Ra, so they easily purified the evil in it.
Sigmar finally got what he wanted and obtained the fragment of the priesthood - the sun. Once he completes it, he will become a powerful god.
If Lathander, the God of the Morning, wants to go to war, then let's go to war!
This time he also officially revealed to Levi the basis of his confidence in fighting against Lathander: Kasus, the Lord of Flame, one of the four elemental lords, was his and Moradin's secret ally.
Moradin once pursued the ultimate flame in order to forge the artifact - Skullcrusher for Sigmar, and somehow he summoned the Lord of Flame.
Then after chatting for a few sentences, they found that they got along unexpectedly well with each other.
The Lord of Flame, who was an extremely generous person, decided to become friends with them when they first met, and later quickly upgraded them to allies.
Therefore, if Lathander simply wanted to compete with Sigmar in terms of their respective control over their priesthoods and domains, Sigmar would compete with him normally.
But if Lathander uses his friends and relatives to exert pressure and play unfair games, Sigmar may have to ask the Lord of Fire to come out.
Although Loshanda has a large group of relatives and friends, and friends have friends, among whom there is more than one powerful divine power, no matter whether it is the Goddess of Earth, the God of Nature, the Goddess of Love, or the Lord of Knowledge, none of them can confront the Lord of Flame head-on.
Moreover, even the Goddess of Earth, who is closest to Lathander, would not break up with the Lord of Flame over such a thing, and it is even more impossible for other gods of nature to do so.
If the number of his minions is compared, the Lord of Flame, who occupies the entire fire elemental plane, is not afraid of any existence at all.
The four elemental gods usually have only each other as their opponents, as they are simply too strong. To fight against other gods is pure bullying.
What's more, water and fire are merciless. Once the Lord of Flame is offended, he will set a few fires in the main world, and even Loshanda himself will not be able to withstand it.
After realizing this, Levi worked even harder. With such powerful allies, he couldn't fall behind!
So after Levi personally negotiated with several magic toads including Master Ma , Donna, Kalida and others also obtained certain permissions and were able to carry out small-scale missionary work in Lustria.
This is not only to help the Lizardmen resist various enemies, but also to better resist the invasion of many human colonists and the many foreign gods behind them.
Now almost all gods have known the true whereabouts of Yeger, and they have gradually realized that the Zodiac Sky Crystal Wall System has been completely closed.
Under such circumstances, the statues left behind by the ancient saints believed in by the lizard people also collapsed one after another.
This can only mean that either all the ancient saints in the Zodiac Universe are dead, or the ancient saints outside the Crystal Wall System are unable to make any contact with the Zodiac Universe.
Therefore, the other gods who were originally somewhat hesitant finally could not resist the urge to expand into the continent of Lustria. These included the furious gods led by Talos, the Lord of the Dawn - Lathander, and the Guardian God - Heim, etc., who were the first group to officially advance.
While being allowed to preach in Lustria, Levi and his companions also needed to resist the invasion of these gods.
However, despite the huge gap in the level of divinity between the two sides, Levi and his team did not feel particularly much pressure.
There are several different reasons for this situation.
First, Levi, who received the power of Jergal and occupied Mount Heaven, began to grow at a speed that surprised all the gods. Even Set could not help but secretly choose to cease fire with him.
But Set was not as easy to talk to as the God of War - Anhe, and the two sides had constant conflicts, so the negotiations did not go particularly smoothly.
In the end, Set took the initiative to back down and symbolically gave Levi three fragments of the godhead. Levi promised that he would treat the souls of Set's believers equally.
From then on, Seth no longer had to expend extra divine power to guide every soul. He only had to send people to the underworld regularly.
To be honest, although they were enemies, Levi never thought of fighting Seth to the death.
The main reason is that Set's priesthood is useless to him. Evil, corruption, ambition, betrayal...
Levi would never want those broken things even if they were given to him for free.
Moreover, after killing Osiris, Set's godhood has reached 13. He also owns two kingdoms of God, one of which is in the Nine Hells. Even if Lilith brings the Moon Bow, Illidan and others to attack together, it is almost impossible to quickly eliminate him.
If we continue to waste time with Seth like this, it would be a pure waste of time.
So Levi also communicated with Khalida. Even if they really had a grudge, he could wait until his side became stronger before causing trouble for him.
Set promised that he would not cause trouble for Khalida for the time being, nor would he take the initiative to provoke Levi, Anubis, and other gods on Mount Paradise.
The only exception is Horus, because Horus has been actively looking for trouble with him recently.
Levi did not interfere in this matter. Even though Horus was his son, Horus, who carried the last hope of the Egyptian pantheon, would obviously not be content to play on Mount Paradise forever.
Levi was also very curious about how many methods Tefnut had and to what extent Horus would be strengthened in the end?
Then came the help of gods such as Lilith. Although Levi had established his own territory on Mount Heaven, he was still a member of the elven pantheon.
With the help of Isis and others who also live in Mount Paradise, plus Donna, Lucia and others, there are a double-digit number of gods in total. Even if the average level of divinity is not high, it is definitely not something that Talos and others can ignore.
Horus was unable to participate, not because he didn't want to or was unwilling to do so, but because he simply didn't have the time.
Because Anhe took the initiative to spread Levi's promise, Tefnut seemed to be stimulated to some extent.
After a short rest, she became active again and began to activate her divine veins, giving Horus one trial after another, hoping to increase his strength so that he could take revenge on Set as soon as possible and even become the rightful God-King of Egypt.
As for the last point, it was because after the Crystal Wall System was closed, the statues of the three ancient gods of the elven pantheon: Asuryan, Aisha, and the goddess of death - Ers Haiai, did not undergo any changes.
This meant that they were still in the zodiac universe, and any attempt to target the elven pantheon would have to take their existence into consideration. Even the Spider Queen - Rose had unusually become much quieter.
Under such circumstances, Levi and his team achieved rapid development.
After Khalida ascended to godhood, Kuja merged all his territories into the city of Lahmia, and returned to Lustria with his army to join the war to exterminate the ratmen.
In addition, many gods such as Levi have gradually developed clergy in Lingxi. Especially with the addition of Kalida, who possesses the priesthood of reptiles, the overall combat effectiveness of the Lizardman army has been significantly improved, and the entire rat-eradication operation went very smoothly.
In just a few months, the number of ratmen in Lustria has dropped to less than one percent of its peak. Although they are still a hidden danger, they are no longer a major threat.
Master Ma and other magic toads began to gradually repair the giant spiritual vein network. Although it was not enough to completely protect Lustria from the invasion of demons for the time being, they could prevent the demons from appearing only within a designated range, making it easier to carry out encirclement and suppression. The threat of the demon army was reduced countless times at once.
During this process, Master Ma also helped Levi contact Obion Island, and finally successfully conveyed Levi's beliefs there.
The original Orbion Island had the Stonehenge, the Truthsayers led by the Raven Queen Morrigan, and many clans such as the Cesar, Fir, Finnion and Farian, which were indeed very tenacious and good at fighting.
In addition, they can command centaurs, swamp beasts and half-giants, so the passing Norse pirates can hardly escape alive, let alone rob them.
But when Bilak broke the seal of the Lead Castle and took back his body, he also carried out massive destruction and massacre, and the strength of the Albian natives instantly plummeted to the bottom.
Even the Raven Queen could not be counted on, because although she survived, she was seriously injured by Be'lak.
In addition, they were also very clear that they could no longer feel the power of the ancient saints, so they finally chose to accept Levi's protection.
For Levi, there are currently less than 200,000 people on Obion Island, all of whom are potential believers. Moreover, as long as they are properly taken care of, the island will be able to accommodate this population even if it increases tenfold.
Although it is called an island, it actually has an area of nearly 100,000 square kilometers, so it still has great potential.
In addition to this, there is the Raven Queen - Morrigan.
She is also known as the Queen of Necromancers, and was even once regarded by the islanders as the embodiment of death and war. She is very skilled in all kinds of death spells.
After Levi personally used his divine power to heal her and rewarded her with a little divinity, she immediately became Levi's believer, which was something she had never received from the ancient saints.
In fact, Levi has begun to doubt whether the ancient saints believed by the magic toads and lizardmen are really gods?
The large-scale hatching facilities they used for the magic toads were more like some kind of biological transformation equipment. There were even some things similar to laser guns in Master Ma's secret library. The scientific knowledge contained in them was far greater than the magical knowledge.
All these things inevitably made Levi doubt: Are the ancient saints gods, or some kind of race with advanced technology and high civilization?
The ancient saints seemed powerful, but they did not display any divine power.
Otherwise, if the magic toads could obtain some divine power, they would definitely not be in the current situation when fighting against the demons.
And apart from the former God of Dinosaurs, the ancient saints do not seem to have any famous achievements. Even to the gods, they are full of mystery and unknown.
After they left, the gods did not take any action because they were simply afraid of the unknown, not because they were afraid of its power.
Unfortunately, there has been no news from the ancient saints, and Master Ma has decided to bring his entire clan to join Levi. There is no point in continuing to inquire about these things.
What Levi needs to do now is to develop well and lead the lizardmen to resist all foreign enemies.
The next step is to try to share some of his divinity and other things with the magic toads.
At present, Lord Huahua has volunteered to become the first person to try it out, and decided to try it out for a period of time. He will then tell Master Ma and other magic toads about his corresponding feelings, so that they can judge whether to further accept Levi's power.
But Levi felt that there was no suspense at all. The magic toads had never had the opportunity to try out their divine powers before, so they were doubtful about it.
In addition, their usual reserve made it impossible for them to easily let go of their pride like Lord Huahua did.
But once they truly feel that powerful force, they will definitely not be able to refuse it.
At the same time, after receiving Qingjia several times, Levi confirmed from the other party that Sotek, the snake god of Lustria, was a member of the Zhendan Dragon God. They had begun to plan Lustria thousands of years ago.
Now, for the sake of Shenzhu, the light dragon that has not yet awakened, the Zhendan pantheon is willing to work with Levi to divide Lustria and resist the invasion of other foreign gods.
This also made Levi more confident. As an enemy, the Zhendan pantheon would appear very scary, but as an ally, the Zhendan pantheon would be very reliable.
But in other parts of the main world, it is far from as peaceful as Lustria.
Many demon lords who had been deified gradually gained a little bit of power. They began to frequently open space rifts and sent armies to invade the main world. Together with the demons under the command of the Four Chaos Gods, almost all races were caught up in the war.
Even among the demon gods, wars are constantly breaking out, as they all want to seize the priesthood and territory of other demon gods.
However, so far, there haven't been many casualties. After all, those who can become the Demon God are well-known among the demon lords. Each of them has lived for at least a thousand years and is not so easy to be killed.
